The is one of the best articles on motion detectors I've read. I've been using motion detectors for over 30 years and have experienced everything outlined here. When pet immune motion detectors were introduced, I was skeptical at first but then found them to be suitable for just about most of my installs. However, great care must be used when cats are involved. You might as well consider cats to have wings when considering motion detectors.
In the early days of pet immune detectors, one of my installs, with two cats in the home, used a pet immune PIR detector in a hallway that looked into an office. I followed the manufacturer's instructions to the letter, but had a false alarm. I returned to the job and relocated the detector on the opposite end of the hallway where it did not see into any other room, also masked off a few places on the lens. I walk tested and the motion detector picked me up just fine. No more false alarm since.

Good article, but what about outdoor pir detectors can we use IP enabled motion detectors particularly expensives or plug and play detectors triggering camera inputs (never easy to install due to the voltage). Best regards.

Best explanations on detectors that I've ever read. Thank you!

Great Article!
There are many Ip outdoor cameras that have inputs and outputs to use as triggers for notifications or tripping alarms. You can set them up to work in almost any situation. You can adjust the sensitivity better for size or for just certain areas where a motion is not as forgiving. I have used outdoor motions in the past in high secure areas. Setup is not fun and usually takes a lot of time to setup properly. You will still have "false alarms" because of birds and wind.
