End-users can take proactive measures to decrease false alarms. Here are a few practical strategies:
No Dispatch Period: Allow a trial period without dispatch during the initial installation to acclimate to the system and identify any issues.
Double Key Keypad/Pendant Panic Buttons: Opt for double key or verification-required panic buttons to prevent accidental activations.
Eliminate Silent Alarms: Install sounding devices to alert both potential intruders and household members, reducing the chance of unnoticed errors or crises.
One Device per Security Zone: Assign each device its own zone for precise identification during repairs, preventing misdiagnoses.
Double Hit Policy: Dispatch guards/keyholders for a single activation and involve the police for multiple activations, provided your system's coverage allows.
At Protection Plus, we empower end-users to optimize their security systems by applying these tactics to mitigate false alarms effectively.
