Low battery and Loss of Power: After 3 years the typical backup battery in a system will be very low or completely flat. In this case Alarm Maintenance will replace it and also give the system a full service. Home security systems contain batteries that have to be replaced. Alarm systems give you a trouble status when the battery levels are low and in some cases a low battery can trigger a false alarm. Loss of mains power can also be the cause of faulty alarms. An alarm system battery supplies back-up power to the alarm system during loss of mains and should always be in good condition
Faulty Alarm System Control Panel: Old security alarm systems can cause many false alarms and should be replaced or upgraded if needed. There is always the possibility of a faulty alarm system, keypad, panel or movement sensor causing a faulty alarm.
Regular Maintenance: You should conduct regular maintenance to ensure that the devices and other home security equipment are cleaned, and working the way it should. Objects, dust, water leakage, spider webs, and movement sensor fittings can be many reasons for faulty alarms.
Doors and windows sensors: If a door or window is in poor condition, it can easily be moved by the wind and trigger an alarm. Doors that are locked with a deadbolt are more sturdy and can help faulty alarms.
Proper fitting: When a home security alarm system is fitted, it is important sensors and devices are correctly fitted according to Australian Standards and manufacturer's recommendations. If you're fitting a do-it-yourself home security system, you must be careful so you can minimize faulty alarms.
Heaters and coolers, pets, rats, and insects: Some movement detectors can be triggered by heaters and coolers left operating when the alarm system is activated. Some motion detectors can be triggered by pets, rats, or insects. If you own a pet, be certain your home security system use "pet-friendly" sensors; otherwise, pets movement around the house will trigger and activate a false alarm.
