Pet Intrusion Alarm Detector
A pet intrusion alarm detector is a specialized security sensor designed to minimize false alarms triggered by household animals while still detecting human intruders. Traditional motion detectors often struggle to differentiate between a person and a pet, leading to unwanted alerts. These detectors employ various technologies to address this challenge.
Material:
- Housing: Typically constructed from durable plastics like ABS or polycarbonate to withstand indoor environments and potential tampering.
- Sensor Components: Utilize passive infrared (PIR) sensors, microwave sensors, or dual-technology combinations. Circuit boards house the processing electronics.
- Lens/Optics: Often feature Fresnel lenses to focus infrared energy and create detection zones.
Purpose:
The primary purpose is to provide reliable intrusion detection in homes with pets, reducing the frequency of false alarms and improving the overall effectiveness of a security system.
Function:
These detectors function by analyzing the characteristics of movement. Key techniques include:
- Weight Discrimination: Detectors can be calibrated to ignore movement below a certain weight threshold, effectively ignoring smaller animals like cats and small dogs.
- Height Discrimination: Some detectors differentiate between movements occurring at different heights, recognizing human-sized movements.
- Movement Speed & Pattern Analysis: Pets typically move at different speeds and exhibit different movement patterns than humans. Advanced detectors analyze these characteristics to distinguish between the two.
- Dual-Technology Detection: Combining PIR and microwave technology requires both sensors to be triggered simultaneously to generate an alarm, reducing false alarms from single-trigger events.
- Pet-Immune Zones: Some detectors allow users to define specific areas where pet movement will be ignored.
Usage Scenarios:
- Residential Security Systems: The most common application, protecting homes with one or more pets.
- Apartments & Condominiums: Suitable for smaller living spaces where pet ownership is common.
- Rooms with Frequent Pet Activity: Strategically placed in areas where pets roam freely, such as living rooms or kitchens.
Common Types:
- PIR (Passive Infrared) Detectors: Detect changes in infrared radiation caused by movement. Pet-immune versions utilize specialized lenses and signal processing.
- Microwave Detectors: Emit microwave signals and detect disturbances caused by movement. Less common due to higher false alarm rates.
- Dual-Technology Detectors: Combine PIR and microwave technology for enhanced accuracy. Considered the most reliable option.
- Wireless Detectors: Communicate wirelessly with a security control panel, offering flexible installation.
- Smart Detectors: Integrate with smart home systems, allowing remote control and customization via smartphone apps.
Pet intrusion alarm detector falls under the category of security devices designed to detect unauthorized entry while minimizing false alarms caused by pets. Based on the provided reference material, the following HS codes are relevant:
-
8531100035: This HS code covers electric sound or visual signaling apparatus, specifically burglar or fire alarms and similar apparatus, categorized as burglar alarms.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 31: Electrical sound or visual signaling apparatus.
- 10: Burglar or fire alarms and similar apparatus.
- 0035: Specifically identifies burglar alarms.
- Tax Details: A base tariff of 1.3% applies, along with an additional tariff of 25.0%. After April 2, 2025, the additional tariff increases to 30.0%, resulting in a total tariff of 56.3%.
-
8531100025: This HS code also covers electric sound or visual signaling apparatus, specifically burglar or fire alarms and similar apparatus, categorized as smoke detectors. While the declared good is a pet intrusion alarm, it may incorporate smoke detection functionality.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 31: Electrical sound or visual signaling apparatus.
- 10: Burglar or fire alarms and similar apparatus.
- 0025: Specifically identifies smoke detectors.
- Tax Details: A base tariff of 1.3% applies, along with an additional tariff of 25.0%. After April 2, 2025, the additional tariff increases to 30.0%, resulting in a total tariff of 56.3%.
It is important to note that the final HS code classification will depend on the specific features and functionalities of the pet intrusion alarm detector. If the device solely functions as a burglar alarm, HS code 8531100035 is the most appropriate. If it incorporates smoke detection, HS code 8531100025 may also be relevant.
