PIR in room with stove

baby fish · 2013-12-22 21:52:46

Is a dual technology PIR required in a room with a wood burning stove to reduce false alarms? or is a normal PIR ok?? Stove and PIR are on same wall so PIR will not look directly at stove. Will heat from sun or radiators have any effect on PIR's , i.e. trigger false alarms

If you are going to have sudden temperature changes I would go with a Duel Tec.
