Prevent False Alarms From Happening

28 March, 2011

Security system false alarms are a major problem for homeowners and fire departments all over the country. Not only are false alarms extremely irritating for both you and your neighbors, but they can also have a big impact on ADT and even your community.

False alarms have the potential to cost you hundreds of dollars in fines, put unnecessary demands on your local fire and police departments and reduce the overall effectiveness of your home alarm system.

There are a number of things that can cause false alarms. These things include poor installation, people entering the home who have not been properly trained to use the system, poor maintenance and carelessness.

Luckily, many of these things can be prevented. Here are some things that you can do to help prevent false alarms from occurring in your home:

    --Make sure that everyone who enters your home (family members, maids, nannies) is properly trained on how to use the system.

    --Schedule an annual review session with your alarm monitoring company.

    --Review your owner's manual on a regular basis to make sure that you are operating the system correctly.

    --Be familiar with ADT's procedures on how to cancel a false alarm.
