Goodbye False Alarms

Alarm systems tend to come in handy whenever you need help. You can never be too safe and especially so when you are at home. This is why it is vital to install a good security system that will protect you against burglars, fires, floods and so forth. You need to ensure that you get a reliable system from a reliable company such as Lifeshield. There is nothing as bad as having the alarm going off every now and then for no apparent reason. False alarms can make you wish you did not install the system in the first place.

False alarms and their causes

False alarms occurring repeatedly desensitize watchful neighbors. As such when there is an actual emergency people who would have normally acted will not be bothered so much. Thus, false alarms are more than just an inconvenience but also consume precious resources such as time, money and energy. Sometimes the alarm goes off for the pettiest of reasons.

One of the common causes of false alarms is entering the wrong key code into the security system. Now this could be as a result of a minor mistake as you enter the code for your house or office. Do you really want the police rushing to check who is breaking into your house while you are the one entering the house?

If you go back into the house, even for a second without disarming the system it will is bound to go off. Birds flying near windows and other common household noises can offset the alarm. The system fails to distinguish between the household noises and the real emergency.

1. Choose the right system for your home

There are so many companies producing security systems. The best of them has to be Lifeshield Security. They have a wide array of products for you to choose from. The right system for your home is that which is up-to-date in terms of technology. Sensors and detectors are supposed to be able to differentiate between pets and human beings. Wireless systems are often the best when it comes to mitigation of false alarms.

2. Run occasional maintenance checks

A maintenance check once in a while will prove to be very helpful. Some false alarms, particularly in wireless systems, are caused by poor energy supply. Check the batteries in your wireless system and also have the wiring checked in case your home alarm keeps going off every few minutes.

3. Strategically place motion detectors

Motion detectors in alarm systems today tend to be very sensitive. The audio and vibration sensors may be able to distinguish a floating balloon from a burglar but motion sensors might not. Ensure that you keep the motion detector at a strategic location where pets and other moving objects do not move about frequently.

4. Get a simple system

As aforementioned there are varied systems available in the market today. Some are just too complicated for their own good, regardless of how good they may be. Getting a system that is simple to use will prevent installation mistakes which are common causes of the false alarms. The Lifeshield home security systems are very simple and straightforward. Setting up such a system will be pretty simple and you can rest assured no false alarms will be recorded unnecessarily.
