Most types do not send any rays out, instead they look for infrared patterns from people, so there is no need to fear stray energy about. The ones that do send beams out are no more harmful than a home entertainment remote. Good alarm systems allow for an away setting that turns on all sensors and a home setting that turns on outdoor door and windows but not indoor beams so you can still get a glass of water at night.

I have several pets in the house, and there are a number of models of "pet-aware" motion detectors up to 80+ pounds that work perfectly. Althhough that would also preclude detecting young burglars, of whom there are far too many these days. Fortunately, I know have cats, have pet-aware motion detectors set to 30 pounds, and if a burglar small enough to get past that comes into my house, I am positive my four tomcats will make dogmeat (er, mousemeat) out of them!
