How to reduce false alarms
How to reduce false alarms
Researchers Estimate 94-99% of Home Security Alarms Are False.

False alarms not only negatively impact on your home and personal life, but they also affect your security provider and the community. False alarm fees can cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Additionally, police resources across the country are limited, and should never be wasted. Thousands of police and fire patrol hours are spent investigating alarm reports that turn out to be false.


Most common causes of false alarms are as follows:
  • Faulty equipment.
  • Failing to train authorized users.
  • Unlocked or loose doors and windows
  • Wandering pets.
  • Re-entering the home just after leaving without disarming (assuming the exit delay is long enough to compensate).
  • Objects hanging by or around motion detectors.
  • Weak system batteries.
  • Faulty equipment.
  • Acts of nature (strong winds, electrical storms, etc.).
False alarms due to faulty equipment or acts of nature are rare. The single largest cause of false alarms is human error.
Once the causes are identified, some basic steps should help reduce false alarms:

1.Choose the right home security system
2.Properly train all users (e.g., babysitters, relatives, children, visitors, etc.).
3.Secure doors and windows before turning on alarm.
4.Service and maintain the system (including batteries) properly.
5.Require dual verification. Following an alarm activation, requiring the monitoring center to obtain an audio or visual confirmation before dispatching authorities helps reduce false alarms.

If there is a question as to whether or not the system is working properly, immediately contact the security provider to check the status of the system and devices.
