Pet immune PIR sensor

    I've put an external security light with inbuilt PIR sensor. I'm getting lots of false activations due to (I presume) cats and rabbits during the night. I have tried adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor but it is not providing any discernable improvements.

    I'm now wanting to switch it out and replace it with a separate PIR unit that has pet immunity and a different light (or maybe remove the PIR from current light).

    Where can I get a PIR sensor with decent false activation stats so it won't be turning on frequently throughout the night?

    Thanks.
