Questions · Intruder detection
I have a dog or a cat: can I have an alarm?
Yes, and asking for pet-tolerant detectors is not enough. That setting discards small volumes moving low in the scene, and it works as long as the animal stays down there.
What breaks it is predictable: the cat that climbs onto a shelf or the back of the sofa, because at a metre and a half up it is a person as far as the detector is concerned; the big dog; and several animals together, which add up. It is solved with the positioning —keeping the high part of the animal's route out of the field of view—, with narrow beams or curtains instead of volumetric detectors, with dual technology, or by changing strategy.
And that change of strategy is nearly always the right answer in a house or in an industrial unit with a guard dog: set the skin of the building from the inside —doors, windows, curtains on the façade— and leave the inside volume free. The animal moves wherever it likes and the system stays set all night, which was the whole point.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
