Swapped from motion detectors to outdoor cameras and stopped chasing ghosts

I spent 3 years putting in PIR motion detectors for every job around Springfield. Last fall, a customer called me back 4 times in one month because their dog kept tripping the sensor. I finally swapped it out for a POE camera with line crossing detection and they haven't had a false alarm since. The install takes a bit more cable pulling but the peace of mind is worth it. Anyone else swear off motion sensors for certain clients?

@king.kevin has a point, but for clients with pets the cameras just work WAY better.

Actually PIR sensors aren't that bad if you mount them right and adjust the sensitivity.
