External PIR detectors

[The Other Mike]

Has anyone any recommendations for PIR's suitable for external mounting, wireless if possible but wired would do at a pinch?

Just need low voltage low current contacts, something with a decent IP rating, that is genuinely built to last, doesn't false trigger with small wildlife, cats etc, a range up to say 10m, 90 deg of coverage, doesn't look like it was slapped together in a chinese sweatshop, isn't too 'modern' looking, nor retro naff (SWMBO dictated a number of these 'requirements')

Saw these at CPC

too plasticky but they led me to the manufacturers website

a bit better construction but chrome and silver zinc would be a bit too modern so possibly tempted to buy a few and have them powder coated in a restrained colour.

Any other suggestions for manufacturers & suppliers?

Hi There are plenty out there it depends on what you want,for a cheep and cheerful job buy a cheep external spot light with pir for around £10 and use the pir. For a more reliable system look at the Risco wireless series :-

cooper menviers site. IIR their Scantronics 455mg comes in brass for a price! Both do wired or radio systems. Or for stand alone units try Satchwell. HTH CJ

I have only one thing to say about GJD detectors and their systems. They are the best I have ever fitted. As for pet immune versions I have no idea.

These caught my eye a while back when I was looking for 12v system:

They worked in our last house which had a burglar alarm and we had cats and a dog. The animals never set off the alarm.
