Nearly all of the alarm signals that police and fire departments receive are false – about 98% or 99%! That number is incredibly high, and frequent false alarms at your facility can lead to fines and slower response times.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

By their nature, Sonitrol verified intrusion and video systems are designed to reduce false alarms. We’ve also come up with a list of easy steps that you can take to further prevent false alarms in 2017.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#17:<\/strong>\u00a0Be sure all employees know how to contact Sonitrol, especially in the event of an accidental alarm or an invalid code.\u00a0The direct number to our central station is (408) 998-2002.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#16:<\/strong>\u00a0If you think there is an issue with your system, contact Sonitrol immediately. Address potential problems before they become major vulnerabilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#15:<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure all your doors and windows are locked before arming your Sonitrol system. Loose doors and windows could produce false trouble signals and police runs when the building is unoccupied.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#14:<\/strong>\u00a0Assign pin codes to temporary employees, contractors, vendors and custodial staff to avoid after-hours alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#13:<\/strong>\u00a0Consider moving or securing items hung near sensors. Falling objects could trigger false alarms.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#12:<\/strong>\u00a0If your office hours change for any reason, call us to update your door lock\/unlock times.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#11:<\/strong>\u00a0If you are updating your phone system, notify Sonitrol immediately. Interruptions in communication can lead to false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#10:<\/strong>\u00a0Schedule a training session to educate all employees. User error can set off many false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#9:<\/strong>\u00a0Notify Sonitrol if any remodeling or service work will be done at your facility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#8:<\/strong>\u00a0Everyday items like candles, burnt food and low batteries can trigger false fire alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#7:<\/strong>\u00a0Know how to cancel your alarm if it goes off by accident. Quick action can prevent false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#6:<\/strong>\u00a0Leaving doors propped open can send false alarm signals. Contact our Central Station if you plan to keep a door open for an extended period of time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#5:<\/strong>\u00a0Testing your system routinely helps keep everything in proper working order and allows you to address any problems before they cause false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#4:<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure your user and call lists are up to date. Contacting current decision makers helps eliminate false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#3:<\/strong>\u00a0Teach children about emergency plans and fire safety. Education can prevent false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#2:<\/strong>\u00a0Calibrate audio sensors for routine sounds and adjust door delays to fit the needs of your business. Accurate settings help eliminate false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

#1:<\/strong>\u00a0Routinely review your system components. Older systems may need to be updated or replaced to prevent false alarms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you have any questions about your system or would like to schedule training or an inspection,\u00a0call our office at (408) 998-2002<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
