Online ServicesHow to Reduce False Alarms
Atronic Alarms has always made false alarm prevention a priority. We continue to provide customized protection, taking the client's lifestyle and security needs into consideration before recommending a system. Our use of the best technologies, quality installations, and personalized training has drastically reduced the number of false alarms. We believe that on-going education is only one way we can continue to reduce the potential for false alarms. Many false alarms are caused by the end users themselves.
Listed below are some common errors that can cause false alarms:
Not locking or security your doors and windows before arming system.
Allowing a pet to move freely in a system that was not designed for pets. Note systems can be installed/designed to allow a family pet to move freely throughout the house.
Leaving papers, plastic, balloons, household plants and other items that can fall or be blown off by the furnace or ceiling fans into the path of motion sensors.
If glass break detection is used in a laundry room? Do not turn on dryer or washing machine and then arm security system.
If you are going to do some remodeling contact your alarm
company for suggestions before you start remodeling.
Not having updated and kept current you call lists to the central station. If we cannot reach you, the alarm can not be cancelled.
Allowing someone to enter into the property that does not have a password, and does not know how to disarm the system.
If you have phone work done in your home or business contact our service department to verify that everything is working. Even if you add a feature like caller ID or call waiting.
Improper design of equipment. If your lifestyle changes you should contact your representative to access your new security needs.
Not knowing the password or the central station phone number to cancel the alarm.
Not maintaining systems with alarm tune-ups, reducing mechanical failures. Detectors should be kept clean and free of dust and insects.
Notify alarm company or central station prior to traveling, vacations, or extended absence from the property.
