Claim 0:
1. A method of reducing false alarms issued by a system, the system includes a plurality of sensors each for detecting events, and one or more configuration settings that define at least in part when one or more alarms are issued by the system based at least in part on one or more of the detected events, including one or more cross zone configuration settings that identify a first sensor of the plurality of sensors and a second sensor of the plurality of sensors as a cross zone set of sensors, and further identify a cross zone time period for the cross zone set of sensors where the first sensor and the second sensor must each detect a corresponding event within the cross-zone time period before the system will issue a corresponding alarm, the method comprising:
tracking when each of the plurality of sensors detects an event, resulting in event data;
storing the event data;
analyzing the stored event data;
based at least in part on the analysis of the stored event data, identifying one or more changes to one or more of the cross-zone configuration settings to reduce a number of false alarms issued by the system; and
implementing one or more of the changes to one or more of the configuration settings of the system.
