False alarms are becoming a growing concern in many states, and the reality of imposing fines on residents that accidently trigger their alarms is having an impact. The best home security includes devices that help to reduce the number of false alarms that occur in households using protective services. The ADT Safewatch QuickConnect system comes with optional features that permit the settings to be adjusted for this purpose. It’s as easy to trigger a false alarm as it is to forget to close a door when you leave home.
When you purchase your system, the installation technician can help you decide if you should use the optional settings for the false alarm feature. The following are some of the functions in your system that are part of false alarm prevention.
- Entry and Exit Delays. Delay times allow you to leave your home after you arm the system without setting it off as you exit. The same applies when you return – you have a brief period of time upon entry before you need to disarm the system.
- Exit Alarms. Frequently, residents walk out the door after arming their system but have left another door entry door open. This is a common cause of false alarms. The “exit alarm” feature will display “EA” on your control panel, and givesyou some extra time to disarm your system before it automatically dials your monitoring company.
- Exit Time Restart-Exit Delay Restart/Reset. This allows the system to restart the exit time if you happen to leave but turn around and go right back in. The system will begin to sound beeps when you have less than 10 seconds before the alarm goes off. At this moment you need to disarm the system.
- Auto Stay Feature. When you arm the system in the “AWAY,” mode but don’t leave your home, it will automatically switch to “STAY” mode. This safeguards against triggering the alarm because you're still inside your home.
- Burglary Abort Window. This is one of the best home security features for preventing false alarms. It's a brief delay that gives you enough time after tripping the alarm to shut it off before it's reported to your monitoring company.
- False Alarms. This feature allows you to distinguish between a true alarm condition and a false alarm. Your monitoring company will call you to confirm before they call the emergency personnel.
