I would say it depends on how low you install the sensor, the higher off the ground the less likely to sense the animals

Question

base station elevation

I purchased this system about a year ago. It worked for about a month then stopped. I called the company rep and they said if the base station is more then 10 feet higher then the sensor it will not receive the signal. Is this an upgrade from that model? is it elevation sensitive?
does the sensor need to be line of sight with the receiver?
thanks

Line of sight is not required. If significant obstructions are between the sensor and the base unit (i.e. steel and concrete buildings), range may be reduced. Try going through the process of programming the base unit to the sensor again.
