We found ADT’s highly efficient monitoring the best choice for keeping homes secure and pets safe.
Updated November 4, 2024
copied!
Security systems include components like motion sensors and security cameras. Those are great for keeping homes safe, but if you have pets, those devices are just going to send you a barrage of notifications throughout the day. I have pets myself, so believe me when I say that those false alarms aren’t just inconvenient – they are downright annoying.
The solution? A pet-friendly security system. I – along with my dog and cats – recently tested the best security systems to see which ones among them are the most pet-friendly. I looked for systems equipped with features and equipment that will keep my pets safe at home. My top pick is none other than ADT for its well-rounded system, safety sensors that include smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and highly-efficient monitoring. But keep reading because I have four other pet-friendly recommendations.
From Anthony Travaglia, Retired Police Officer, Home Security Expert
We’ve found the best way to make trustworthy and unbiased recommendations is by testing home security systems ourselves. We buy the equipment with our money, install the systems in our homes, and test them for weeks or months. This way we can assess the response times, features, and apps. These experiences help us recommend and rank security systems.
We consider many factors when testing home security systems and have created ways to compare apples to apples. One strategy is testing all the equipment in the same house – a two-story, 2,200-square-foot house where one of our security experts live, along with his one dog and two cats. Using a real house instead of a lab helps us simulate real-life scenarios and make appropriate recommendations.
We also purchase the same equipment for every test system and install them in identical locations. You can see what our usual home security setup looks like below.
We consider multiple factors when recommending the best home security systems. Using our knowledge and experience of the industry, these are the factors we think are the most important for pet owners.
Using these criteria, here is how we scored our top five picks:

SimpliSafe Equipment
ADT is not only friendly to pets, but also protective of them. That’s because ADT security systems offer sensors designed to protect the well-being of your whole family including your pets. ADT has smoke alarms, temperature sensors, and gas leak sensors. It also offers security cameras with features designed for pet owners, like the indoor cam that can tell you specifically if it sees your pet outside its crate – with strategic camera placement, of course.
Big pets can be a handful, but fortunately, ADT’s motion sensors are designed to ignore them. Even with my Lab strolling around the house, my motion sensors didn’t randomly go off. I was confident because I knew my sensors were set to ignore movement from pets under 80 pounds in weight.
There’s actually a trick there. As you can see in my ADT review, a technician came to install my system. He’s the one who set the sensitivity to the lowest level (lower level = better for bigger pets) after seeing my 60-pound dog. He also told me that the lowest level is best for homes with cats, as they tend to climb up furniture. Thoughtful, right? With pet-friendly motion sensors and a pet-friendly technician, I avoided false-alarm fines and needless worrying about my pet’s safety.
FYI: You can ask your technician to set the sensitivity of your motion detectors based on the weight of your pet. So, if you have a 30-lb pet and a 60-lb kid but only want alerts from your kid walking around the house, have your technician set the sensitivity to somewhere between 40 and 45 lbs.
Aside from that, I loved how ADT monitors every sensor they offer, including environmental sensors. My biggest concerns are a fire breaking out or gas leaking, especially when I’m away. My dog would probably just bark at my old smoke alarms if they sounded.
Testing ADT Environmental Monitoring Equipment
With monitored environmental sensors from ADT, I can now rest easy knowing that in case something urgent happens, they’d be on the case. ADT monitoring agents are trained to dispatch emergency services and they do it with high efficiency. They can even verify home hazards by viewing security cameras (a.k.a. video verification).
Every ADT package includes professional monitoring for security and safety emergencies. All you need to do is buy the right sensors for the job.
ADT also offers security cameras from Google Nest. And from our review of the Nest Cam, it’s clear that these cameras are pet-friendly because they have pet detection. They can tell apart people from pets and use that for improved notifications. I receive a notification that reads something like this whenever my indoor camera sees my cats: “Your indoor camera saw a pet in the Living Room.” Other cameras without pet detection, like the Ring Indoor Cam I reviewed, can only tell you that it saw movement and not what moved.
Here’s an actual playback showing my Nest Cam’s person detection in action.
Thanks to ADT partnering up with Google Nest, I was able to keep tabs on my pets while I was away on a business trip. There were other useful features too, like two-way audio and Familiar Face Alerts. That second one was useful for monitoring if my sitter has arrived, as it can notify you if it sees a familiar face.

When it comes to pet-friendly home security, SimpliSafe has some pretty interesting offerings. DIY packages from SimpliSafe, one of the most affordable home security systems in the market, include pet detection sensors with a higher weight range than many of its competitors. Its sensors are built to detect dogs of up to 50 pounds, whereas other pet-friendly systems’ sensors max out around 30 to 40 pounds.
SimpliSafe equipment
The SimpliSafe motion detector works similarly to the one I got from ADT, but the lowest sensitivity setting ignores only pets up to 60 pounds. Not that a 60-pound dog is small, but compared to ADT, SimpliSafe’s motion sensor is a bit more sensitive. But still, when I reviewed SimpliSafe, I proved that it’ll ignore the heat signature generated by my Lab and cats – most of the time, that is.
Being a DIY system, however, I had to position the sensor myself, figure out how to best avoid pet-triggered false alarms without missing actual break-ins, and set the sensitivity level of the sensor. I even had to read up on how to fix burglar alarms going off randomly to avoid future hassles. In the end, I decided to place my living room sensor facing away from my pet’s crate while maintaining a direct sight of the front door.
Pro Tip: Still getting false alarms? Here’s a tip, straight from SimpliSafe: install your motion sensors upside-down, about five feet up.2 They’ll still catch people walking around on two feet — but will miss animals walking around on four. However, I find that this trick doesn’t work well if you have felines that like to climb like I do.
I’m particularly impressed with the Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector. It sends out instant alerts if there’s smoke or elevated carbon monoxide at home.
Imagine you’re at work when a gas leak happens. Without a smart carbon monoxide monitor, your dog could get sick or worse — and you’d be none the wiser. With a smart carbon monoxide monitor, you can get the alert, call for help, and save your pup.
That said, the detector wasn’t included when I bought my SimpliSafe package. It’s in some packages, but not all. So I had to add it to my cart for $69 per piece. It’s not so bad considering that the one from ADT costs almost double.
Here’s a quick price breakdown of SimpliSafe’s environmental sensors:
| SimpliSafe device | Price |
|---|---|
| Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector | $69.99 |
| Smoke Detector | $44.99 |
| Water Sensor | $19.99 |
| Temperature Sensor | $29.99 |
Pro Tip: Want to compare my top picks? See our SimpliSafe vs. ADT comparison page where our experts tested both systems side by side. They have more similarities than you might think.
If I’m picking out a security camera for my pets and I, I don’t just want recorded footage. I want live video so I can check on them, two-way audio so I can tell them to get off the couch, and video-verified monitoring so an agent can check on them (via video) during emergencies.
That’s me checking out the SimpliSafe wireless indoor camera, a.k.a. Smart Alarm.
When I tested SimpliSafe’s security cameras, I made sure they each offered all of those things. The Live Guard feature, in particular, is pretty impressive. If you opt in, an alarm monitor will actually view your camera footage when they receive a signal that something’s off.
That’s great news for pet owners. If Fido leaps across the living room and triggers a false alarm, the alarm monitor will see that. They can cancel the police response — and save you that pesky false-alarm fee.
FYI: Not so fast. To get Live Guard, you need to pay $29.99 per month for the SimpliSafe Interactive Monitoring plan (now known as Fast Protect).

Vivint’s security systems have a wide selection of pet-friendly equipment, like strong Vivint motion-sensing cameras to monitor your favorite four-legged furballs. Plus, Vivint’s home automation features let you control all the connected devices in your home, so you can use your smart locks to unlock the door for your pet sitter. You can also check in on your Vivint doorbell camera to make sure your sitter is taking Fido for his daily walk. They also offer some advanced pet-friendly options aside from video monitoring such as fire/smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring.
Vivint Smart Home Equipment
Vivint sensors feature not one, but two settings for pet owners to adjust. First, the pet size setting: you can slide the sensor to one side for a 33-pound pet, or to the other side for a 55-pound pet. Next up is the sensitivity setting: you can select high or low sensitivity.3
Say you have a hyperactive Husky weighing in at 50 pounds. Set your Vivint sensors to 55-pound pet, low sensitivity. That should cut out the false alarms. It worked well for my and my Lab, despite him weighing in at a little over 60-pounds. My cats didn’t set the sensors off either.
FYI: Not sure how much your dog weighs? The American Kennel Club created a handy chart that lists the average weight of just about every dog breed out there.4 Cross-check this list to see if you should set your Vivint sensor to the 33-pound or 55-pound setting.
Vivint is many things, but minimalist isn’t one of them. And that means Vivint’s sensor options are plentiful. The security company sells just about every security device you can imagine — at a premium.
When I compared Vivint and SimpliSafe smoke alarms, I was just as confused as you are. Both have 85 dB sirens. Both are battery-powered. They certainly seem more similar than different. But Vivint’s smoke alarms cost double SimpliSafe’s price.
One difference I can think of? You can connect the Vivint smoke and carbon monoxide detector to the rest of your smart home. Something like unlocking all the doors when smoke is detected is easy in the Vivint app. SimpliSafe doesn’t offer that level of home automation. That might explain some of the price difference.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Vivint sells some of the best security cameras in the business. (Really, I’ve said it before. Check out my guide to the best security systems with cameras.)
Vivint cameras have almost every special feature you could ask for. For instance, you’ll get two-way audio, night vision, and pet detection. When I tested out the system for my Vivint smart home review, the pet detection really saved my notifications.
Pro Tip: Do you let your dogs out a couple of hours a night like I do? Vivint’s outdoor camera has night vision, but it’s not the best I’ve seen. You might want to pick up an additional camera with good night vision.
The Vivint technician installed my outdoor camera, making sure it has a clear and complete view of my yard.
All those extras are great, but I’m going to be honest: I’m really in it for the cute pet videos. The Vivint Indoor Camera Pro records in 1080p with 2x HDR. That means the footage is detailed and captures both light and dark spots.
In other words, if your pet does something cute in front of the Vivint Indoor Camera Pro, you’ll have a great quality video afterward. And, more importantly, the high-quality resolution can help to detect and record would-be intruders.

Frontpoint’s DIY security systems have earned plenty of accolades over the years, including a place on our list of the best systems for customer service. Frontpoint also has pet-sensitive motion detectors that cover pets up to 40 pounds. Their pet-friendly alarm systems also come with 24/7 environmental sensors for fire/smoke, flood, and carbon monoxide that will send an alert to the monitoring station if such activity is detected. Frontpoint also offers video monitoring and home automation so you can rest a little easier when you leave your pets at home.
Frontpoint equipment
Vivint sensors ignore pets under 55 pounds. SimpliSafe sensors ignore pets under 60 pounds. Frontpoint sensors? 85 pounds.
>> Read More: Frontpoint vs. SimpliSafe Comparison
Dobermans, German shepherds, and, of course, Great Danes can easily weigh that much. If you own a big breed, Frontpoint might be the security system for you. Of course, the sensor’s sensitivity needs to be adjusted. And Frontpoint being a DIY system, that will be your responsibility. In my experience, doing so doesn’t take more than two minutes for each sensor. The switch is at the back of the sensor.
Did You Know? Even though the Frontpoint sensor ignores anything under 85 pounds, it still keeps your home safe. According to the FBI, over 80 percent of burglars are male5 and not even 5% of men weigh under 130 pounds.6 So, that sensor still covers every burglar I’ve heard of.
At the time I purchased my Frontpoint system, the carbon monoxide was out of stock. But that wasn’t a huge problem for me. Here’s why: Frontpoint systems are compatible with the Z-Wave smart home protocol. That means you can add other Z-Wave devices to your system and control them in the Frontpoint app, including Z-Wave sensors. That’s also what gives Frontpoint plenty of home automation options.
That means you can invest in a top-of-the-line carbon monoxide detector and pair it with your system. Fibaro and First Alert sell great Z-Wave compatible options. Make sure to take this into consideration when pricing out your Frontpoint home security system.
Here’s what Frontpoint’s other hazard sensors costs:
| Frontpoint device | Price |
|---|---|
| Flood Sensor | $44.99 |
| Smoke + Heat Sensor | $69.99 |
| Carbon Monoxide Detector | $89.99 |
Pro Tip: Here’s another thing I learned about Frontpoint: You can get discounts pretty much whenever. The packages are always on sale and the add-on components get 20- to 50-percent off throughout the year.
Frontpoint cameras aren’t exactly groundbreaking, but they got the job done when I reviewed Frontpoint’s home security system. Each model features 1080p resolution, two-way audio, and night vision. So do the other guys, but hey — it’s good to cover the basics.
I liked the indoor camera in particular because it’s one of the very few options here that have local storage. It has a microSD card slot. I had to provide a 256 GB microSD card – it wasn’t included in the package, for some reason – but once I put it in, the camera started recording continuously. That meant no missed moments during my two-week test period.
Here’s the Frontpoint indoor camera with a microSD card slot for local recording at the back.
FYI: Are you a privacy-minded pet owner? There’s one Frontpoint feature you should know about: local storage. Even when compared to the best cloud security cameras on the market, Frontpoint still offers simpler, more secure options.

If you’re turned off by the cost of some of the pet-friendly systems we’ve looked at so far, Cove might be the best option for you. It’s certainly the most affordable, with sensors selling for as low as $15. They’re not the most pet-friendly, but if you have small pets, Cove has you covered.
Cove equipment
The Cove motion sensor works almost exactly like the Vivint motion sensor. Adjust sensitivity to “high” or “low” to set it to ignore pets under 35 pounds or 55 pounds, respectively. Voilà: pet immunity.
That said, unlike Vivint’s sensor, Cove didn’t ignore my 60-pound Lab. My cats also set it off occasionally when they climb on top of my dining table. I’d say that Cove’s motion sensors are the least pet-friendly on this list, although they are still a whole lot better than sensors with non-adjustable sensitivity.
Pro Tip: If your pet weighs more than 55 pounds (looking at you, St. Bernard owners!) those settings won’t help much. You could always skip the motion detectors and double up on door alarm sensors. No matter how big your dog is, it’s probably not opening doors.
In my in-depth Cove review, I highlighted the company’s smoke and carbon monoxide detector. It was $55 and earth-shatteringly loud. (It made me jump out of my skin when installing it, which is a good thing in a carbon monoxide alarm.)
Imagine my surprise when I did my research for this guide and discovered this key environmental sensor is no longer available. A customer service rep informed me that there are no plans to bring back the smoke and carbon monoxide detector anytime soon.

Imagine my surprise when I did my research for this guide and discovered this key environmental sensor is no longer available. A customer service rep informed me that there are no plans to bring back the smoke and carbon monoxide detector anytime soon. Fortunately, you can still get a separate smoke sensor and a gas leak detector. Just note that they retail $95 each.
Pro Tip: Like SimpliSafe and Frontpoint, Cove is always having sales. I’ve seen the carbon monoxide sensor sell for as low as $28.50 (70-percent off). Check out my Cove pricing assessment for a guide about these deals.
| Cove device | Price |
|---|---|
| Smoke detector | $95 |
| Carbon monoxide detector | $95 |
| Flood sensor | $35 |
Cove security cameras don’t exist. Instead, the company lets you add Eufy cameras to your Cove package. That’s a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.
It’s good because Eufy cameras are, well, good. The Eufy Cam 3, for example, is on my list of the very best cameras with facial recognition. The Eufy Indoor Cam features 2K resolution, the highest on this list. That even stacks up against some of the Lorex security cameras I recently reviewed.
>> Read About: Best Security Cameras for Image Quality
It’s bad because Eufy doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to privacy. Its parent company, Anker, misled journalists about its encryption policy. Basically, cameras weren’t always encrypted when it said they were.7
Do you really want footage of your furry friend sold on the dark web? OK, that’s probably not very likely. Still, the security gaps at Anker are concerning. It’s something to consider before you choose Cove.

Here I am placing the SimpliSafe motion sensor upside down to limit the false alarms I was getting.
Choosing the right system goes a long way, but there are a few more things pet owners can do to prevent false alarms.
In my experience having both a dog and two cats, I know it’s possible to have a normal security system without having to deal with too many false alarms. There are going to be some “accidents” from time to time – one of my cats once knocked down an indoor camera I was testing – but that’s part of pet ownership. What’s important is that we adapt and learn; that means our security system should also be flexible to our needs.
Did You Know? “Canary in the coal mine” isn’t just a saying. Miners used them to detect carbon monoxide leaks. Canaries would fall unconscious from the gas long before humans would.1 Now you can understand why pet owners need carbon monoxide detectors!
When I’m talking about pet-friendly sensors, I usually mean motion sensors. The reason they have to be pet-friendly is that motion sensors use PIR or passive Infrared technology to detect movement. That is, they look for moving heat signatures moving across the frame.
PIR motion sensors are generally great at avoiding false positives. They don’t trigger when shadows move or when wind blows the curtains. That’s because those things don’t emit a heat signature. However, there are a few things that can set off PIR sensors, such as:
Pet-friendly motion sensors work by adjusting the sensitivity. Usually, even a tiny Chihuahua could set off a non-pet-friendly motion sensor. But if you decrease the sensitivity, the sensor would look for bigger heat signatures. The lower the sensitivity, the bigger the moving object should be to trigger an alarm.
Pro Tip: Most motion sensors have a field of vision that is angled slightly downwards. That’s why if you’re having problems with false alarms triggered by your pets, we suggest trying to install the motion sensor upside down at about chest level.
Besides pet-friendly motion sensors, we as pet owners are also responsible for putting up hazard sensors to keep our homes safe for our pets and ourselves. Those include, for obvious reasons, smoke detectors and gas leak detectors.
A carbon monoxide sensor from SimpliSafe ready to be installed.
Additionally, temperature sensors that alert you to abrupt spikes and drops in temperature should also be considered. A poorly ventilated house in the summer or window left open in the winter can seriously affect our pets’ health.
Lastly, security cameras are a must, especially one that can record motion activity as well as offer two-way audio.
Dogs really do deter burglars. Think about it. If you were a burglar, would you rather rob a house with a pit bull barking at the door? Or the nice, quiet, empty place next door?
>> Read More: Five Things Burglars Don’t Want You to Know
FYI: I would caution against putting up signs that you have a dog. While it could discourage some burglars, it gives determined burglars the chance to be more well-prepared if they decide to attack your home. Let your dog’s bark do the talking.
If you have a pet, you need a pet-friendly security system. There are two main reasons why.
One, you’ll want a system that keeps your pets safe. Our animal companions are more vulnerable to floods, freezes, and gas leaks — they deserve sensors that will detect these dangers right away. Two, you’ll want a system that won’t confuse your pet for a predator. Otherwise, you can expect constant alarms.
ADT, SimpliSafe, Vivint, Frontpoint, and Cove fit the bill. If you decide to try another system, make sure it has a wide range of environmental sensors, high-quality cameras, and pet-immune motion detectors.
A motion sensor counts as “pet friendly” if it ignores living things smaller than 30 – 80 pounds.
It depends on the security camera. Look for features like “pet detection,” which can tell the difference between pets and people.
First thing’s first: install pet-friendly motion detectors. If your doggo or kitty still sets off the alarm, adjust the sensitivity.
An armed security system will warn you about intruders while you’re away. With professional monitoring, backup should arrive shortly — so Fido won’t be left alone with a criminal. Don’t forget to install carbon monoxide monitors, too. Pets can’t handle the lethal gas for as long as we can. You need to know ASAP if there’s a leak.
After extensive research and testing, we found that ADT was the best option for homeowners who want professional installation and monitoring, while SimpliSafe is the best DIY option. Vivint, Frontpoint, and Cove also work well.
A standard motion sensor will go off every time someone emitting body heat walks by, even if that someone is your dog or cat. Avoid false alarms with a pet-immune motion detector.
Door and window sensors are a key component of any security system. They’re especially important if you can’t have motion detectors installed. (Some dogs are just too big to go undetected.)
An indoor camera is a must for any pet owner. How else would you get video evidence of how cute your cat is?
Recording footage of your yard may not yield as much viral video material, but it’s still important. If there’s a confrontation between your dog and another neighborhood pet, the video evidence could come in handy.
A simple doorbell camera with two-way audio is always useful — especially for pet owners. When the delivery guy knocks and your dogs are going crazy, simply tell him to “leave it on the porch!” through your phone speaker.
Audio features are useful on any security camera. An indoor camera with two-way audio lets you listen to your cat meow — and meow right back, if you wish.
Through the power of machine learning, modern cameras can distinguish pets from people. This is a must-have feature if you’d like to minimize your notifications.
Let in the dog walker with a smart lock. Advanced models allow you to send out temporary codes, schedule locking, and more.
If your dog keeps triggering the alarm, don’t uninstall your security system. Just turn down the sensitivity. It should be easy on the hardware or in the app.
