Anyone Here Using SimpliSafe or Similar DIY Security Systems?

Our son-in-law installed a DIY system from components he bought, which calls his cell phone when it detects an intruder. But he had to disable the motion detectors, because their cat would trigger it. It's not supposed to be that sensitive, but . . . We have cats, and a dog. Here's a tip from the SimpliSafe website:

Bonus pet trick

With larger pets, you can still use a Motion Sensor with this special "trick." Normally, the Motion Sensor looks straight out and down towards the ground. By turning the sensor upside down it will instead look straight ahead and up. This way, you can place the sensor high enough where your pet can't trigger it, but low enough where a person would.

I'll have ask him if that would work in their house.
