Honeywell Home DT8035V Motion Detector

Yes, this unit features pet immunity for animals weighing up to 100 pounds (45 kg), so it is designed to ignore movement from your pets while still detecting human intruders.

No, the DT8035V is strictly designed for indoor use. It is built with a sealed optical chamber to protect against indoor drafts and insects, but it is not weather-rated for outdoor environments.

This detector uses both Passive Infrared and Microwave technology to verify movement. By requiring both sensors to confirm a detection, it significantly reduces false alarms caused by environmental factors like drafts or light changes.

The device includes a flashlight-enabled walk test mode. This allows you to quickly verify that the sensor is positioned correctly and detecting movement in your desired coverage area without needing to constantly return to the control panel.

This is a hardwired device that requires a 9.0 - 15VDC power source. It does not use batteries, ensuring consistent performance without the need for periodic power replacements.

For optimal performance, the unit should be mounted on a wall or in a corner at a height of 2.3 meters. This placement provides the best coverage pattern for the device's 12m x 17m range.
