Home Security False Alarms

False alarms can sometimes bring fines from local authorities. In many cases, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to pay these fines. Nexus Home Security 24 offers some tips on how to avoid false alarms:

• Familiarize Yourself with Your Home Security System - Anyone who has access to your property and home when the system is armed must have a password and be familiar with the alarm procedure. For example, be sure to explain to your babysitter or housekeeper how to properly arm and disarm the system.  If they call you when they are entering or leaving you can also remotely do this with your smartphone.
• Think Of Your Pets - Motion detectors may detect movement if your pet jumps onto furniture near the detector, thus appearing larger than they really are. You can avoid this by moving furniture away from the motion detector or consider getting pet-friendly motion detectors.
• Avoid Unplanned Movement Near Motion Detectors – Ensure all doors and windows are tightly closed before you leave home, as incoming air gusts could cause curtains and plants to move and set off a nearby motion detector.
• Check Your Home Security Remote Alerts - Reduce the number of false alarms by receiving a picture of the person who just entered your home. The picture is taken by the image sensor and sent to your smartphone or computer.
