Common causes that cause false alarms


That causes false alarms?

Ideally, that our security company has an effective method to be able to efficiently discard false alarms, for example installing a system of alarms with video verification, in this way though our home there is a false alarm jump this can be quickly identified from the central and no notice is given to the police Even so it is convenient to know where it came from and normally and causing these false alarms jumps.


Most of the false alarms falls are caused by the user, one of the most common causes is a mistake when disarming the system by using code, normally almost all security systems have a call sign the user code must enter on a keyboard to thus identify and have access to enable or disable the system most of the jumps of alarms occur error when entering the code, these are usually quickly identified by the company of alarms by call to the user and do not pass from there.


Another common cause of false alarms is on return to the home shortly after having activated the alarm system, the typical case is the person who activates the system, out the door of his home and you realize you forgot something inside, re-enters thinking it gives you time to catch whatever until fully activated system and it causes system jump. Many companies have even protocols to flout these false alarms jumps, for example are not taken into account or not is contact the user if jump alarm occurs in a stretch of a couple of minutes after the activation of the system.


Another very common cause of false alarms are open windows, if to leave our home and let the alarm we leave any window that is close to a motion sensor and also add a shade that can be moved by the wind have alarm jump secured, for this reason and also as a security measure before leaving us, we have to ensure that we have all the windows and closed entries in our home.


Another element that may cause false alarms waterfalls are within our home pets, motion detectors if they are going to be in the presence of pets must be anti pet motion detectors, yet these elements of detection can lead to false alarms, detectors are prepared to tolerate a number of specific weight of pets, if for example we have a dog of great weight a large breed like a German Shepherd Dog within a floor and the motion detector does not jump little cash will be when between a thief. Anti pet motion detectors can usually withstand up to about 18 kilos and are valid for pets that do not jump, a cat for example in the presence of a motion detector to report us constantly false alarm jumps.


To a lesser extent also may be false alarm breaks caused by technical failures of the team, here full responsibility that this will not occur lies with the contractor of the team. A team of good quality and properly installed and configured should not cause false alarms jumps.


We must avoid as far as possible be the cause of false alarms of our teams, in this way breaks is notified when an alarm at a home jump and made a shipment of the police by the alarm company know that we are making efficient use of the State security forces This is everyone’s responsibility.
