September 21, 2015

No matter the cause, each false dispatch wastes valuable time and resources of your community. Here's how you can do your part to reduce false dispatches caused by accidental alarms:

• Make sure everyone in your home knows how to use the alarm system. Give temporary passcodes to repairmen who will be in and out of your home when you are not present.
• Keep hanging objects away from motion detectors.
• Before you arm your system, make sure all doors and windows are closed and locked.
• Regularly service and maintain your system. If you suspect something is wrong with your system, contact us immediately.

Above all, you are responsible for your alarm system. By using these tips, you can eliminate the risk of an accidental alarm and reduce false dispatches in your community.
