I need to go through security at several airports with the cat in a harness. Will this set off the security alarm with the metal ring?

It will not, it is made of material, lined on the inside for kitty comfort. There is only one metal ring at the top which is used for the leash. It shouldn't set off any alarms especially if you point it out before scanning.

Yes, any metal will set off sensors. Will the cat be riding in a pet carrier, otherwise? Probably best to not harness the cat when going through security. It would stress out your cat. Exercise him hours previous to trip in an area he's familiar.

Probably, because it's metal. I've not taken my kitty though a metal detector, but I think it would go off.

Anything that moves within the sensor range will set off the alarm that is the whole point of a motion sensor. Yes it is sensitive to small animals, som cats are pretty big when they stretch out. So, my answer is yes, yes yes. good luck. You do have the option of pointing the sensor where the cants won't be if you have location in your home or garage like that. Hope this helps. PS I love the motion detectors over the window alarms as you can cover so much more space with one unit and easier to install.

This is not an issue I've had. So I can only offer suggestions. It is possible to adjust the distance at which the alarm will be triggered. The configuration and size of the area/entryway where you plan to place "Rex" will determine if passerbys will set off the alarm. It is possible to "shield" the sides of the unit with metal but only to a limited degree.

Hi, I have a small Dog and the motion sensor normally turns on with she passes so I will assume it will detect your cats as well. Regards,

It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode. I do not have a cat but I thought it would be a good idea to keep out unwanted critters. There is one problem with this. This door uses batteries to operate the door lock. When your dog who is wearing the magnet key approaches the door it engages the batteries to open the door. This runs your batteries down fairly quickly. You may be replacing them every other week. If your cat is not that bold and won't push on the door to get out then you can leave it unlocked all the time. There are powerful magnets that hold the door shut. I haven't had any unwanted guest so far. It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode.

Yes, your dog would definitely set off this alarm. Very sensitive, which is what I wanted.

A beep loud enough to alert you and hopefully detour your pet > my cat's stay clear. If your pet remains on the pad it keeps beeping, unless they're deaf they'll leave! I don't have to even turn it on anymore as they know what happened when it was on....

No. The motion detector is super sensitive to any movement. If you were going to go out without your pet, you would have to turn the motion detector off. Otherwise, your pet would set off the alarm. GL

No, it only alerts the system. You can connect an alarm to a controlled outlet and switch it on automatically when the contact is opened or the sensor is moved

Yes. I think so. The only problem I see is if the animal is so light and/or light on foot that it does not make a vibration to set off the alarm. I have cats and it is somewhat the problem.

No. It has a pin that when pulled will trigger the alarm. Otherwise than that the alarm will not go off.

Yes mine will pick up the occasional cat but typically the alarm will sound only once for animals/people, twice for cars.

No! It will continue to alarm until you put in your code. Only then will it shut down.

Yes, but keep aware of where you place the detector. It works fine except with furniture taller then your waist and somewhat close to the detector, that the cat can jump onto it. We placed our detector near a stairwell within 6 feet of a half wall and when the cat jumped up, it triggered it. We moved it a few more feet away from the half wall and it worked fine.

I do not believe it would be set off by cats. I believe that you can swivel the unit in the direction you wish once it is mounted. We really are thrilled with our Dakota Alert. It is mounted on a tree next to the very long, curved driveway and it warns us of anyone approaching. If a person walks by or any type of wildlife, the "chime" goes off but this is not a problem for us.

No any current change in the vehicle will trigger it to sound the alarm anywhere u have a light switch related as to a dome light.

Here's your pseudo-definitive answer from an engineer: the cat door uses radio frequencies to interact with the chip in your cat's neck. Radio frequencies can travel through many things but a Faraday cage isn't one of them. Without getting too involved with physics, metal has a tendency to block radio waves. HOWEVER, not all metal interacts with them in the same way. Aluminum, for instance, shouldn't be too much of a problem. Steel doors will be a bigger issue. I'd recommend trying the cat door in your metal door first before buying the hardware. It won't decrease battery life: the sensor that tells your door to read the chip in your cat (an optical sensor) is independent of the sensor that actually does the reading of the chip (an RF sensor). If you cat can get through the door without banging their face into it, you should be good to go! If kitty bangs into the door without the door sensing your cat, set it to "two way" mode, buy the extra hardware, and install it when it comes in
