  • Develop a verification process with your alarm service company.
  • Have your system checked by a trained alarm technician when false alarms are generated.

Your Alarm System

  • Have a backup power or battery system that prevents activations in a power outage.
  • Possess an automatic entry and exit delay system.
  • Allow users to test the system internally for malfunctions.
