Preventing false alarms:
False alarms can be an inconvenience and potentially a waste of
emergency response resources. ADT has designed and installed
your system to reduce the potential for false alarms, here are
some tips to avoiding them.
Here’s some tips for avoiding false alarms:
-Use your system regularly, be comfortable with its operation.
-Make sure everyone who has access to your home has a valid
access code and is familiar with how to use the system.
-Ensure the doors you use the most are set up with delays to give
you enough time to disarm the system when you open a door.
-Test your system regularly
-Develop a routine.
-Use alternative methods for arming and disarming (mobile app,
bluetooth disarming, etc.)
