Know your codes.<\/strong><br \/>An overwhelming majority of false alarms are caused by the user entering an incorrect keypad code. To prevent false alarms, create an alarm code that every member of the family can remember. Use caution that is isn\u2019t a code the burglar might guess (such as your house number). If you change the code, inform everyone who knows the code. Because it\u2019s easy to forget who has your alarm\u2019s code, we advise you keep a list.<\/p><p><strong>2. Keep pets in their place or use pet immune sensors.<\/strong><br \/>Pets often wander throughout your home during the day. When they do, they can set off motion detectors that activate your home\u2019s alarm. Rather than forgoing the use of burglar detecting motion sensors, replace traditional sensors with \u201cpet friendly\u201d or \u201cpet immune\u201d sensors. These motion sensors are designed to ignore the presence of pets up to a certain weight. They are affordable and readily available from many security providers.<\/p><p><strong>3. Secure all windows and doors.<\/strong><br \/>Keeping windows and doors shut is not only a smart security practice, it can also help prevent false alarms. Before you activate your home security system, be sure all windows and doors are shut. Prior to opening a window or door, disarm your system.<\/p><p><strong>4. Alert house guests.<\/strong><br \/>To minimize the chance of a false alarm, let visitors know your home security system is armed. If your guest is staying with you for a while, be sure he or she feels comfortable with how to arm and disarm your home security system. Don\u2019t forget that the babysitter, house cleaner and dog walker also need to be trained how to operate your home security system. You\u2019ll want to be sure everyone who uses the alarm knows their pass code and has the phone number to the monitoring station in the event that the alarm is accidentally activated.<\/p><p><strong>5. Watch for stray objects near motion detectors.<\/strong><br \/>As we mentioned, Fido and his furry friends can activate a false alarm, but so can stray objects. If you\u2019re receiving a false alarm due to motion sensor activation, take a close look at items that may be hanging or placed near the sensor. For example, when your home\u2019s heat or air conditioning turns on, it could blow curtains or plant leaves into the area protected by a sensor.<\/p><p><strong>6. Replace batteries regularly.<\/strong><br \/>Your alarm system will warn you when the system batteries become weak. Changing the system batteries on a regular basis can help prevent a false alarm. You\u2019ll be happy to know that many wireless home security systems are outfitted with batteries that can last up to five years.<\/p><p><strong>7. Stay in touch with Mother Nature.<\/strong><br \/>Sometimes, acts of nature will set off your alarm. Strong winds, electrical storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes can result in a false alarm. If a storm is brewing, keep watch on your home security system.<\/p><p><strong>8. Report suspected damaged or faulty equipment.<\/strong><br \/>False alarms are typically due to human error. In fact, roughly 70 percent of false alarms are attributed to user mistakes. But if you think a false alarm is caused by a malfunction of your home security system, contact your provider immediately. A representative from your home security company will be glad to check the status of your alarm system.<\/p><p>The most fundamental way to prevent false alarms is by using your home security system on a regular basis. When your family uses the security system consistently, they\u2019ll get comfortable with how it works, and that means there\u2019s less likelihood of a false alarm.<\/p><\/div><\/article>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6327c719 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6327c719\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>About Sonitrol Great Lakes<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bc83bc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7bc83bc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article id=\"post-157\" class=\"post-157 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-false-alarms category-general-security-advice\"><div class=\"entry-content\">As one of the nation\u2019s largest commercial security companies, Sonitrol offers integrated security solutions, featuring a unique verified audio detection technology.
