False alarms can be both expensive and inconvenient for the system owner. To avoid them, an owner must understand not only how to deactivate the system quickly but also what can set it off.

Many homeowners have to move hanging plants or curtains from in front of sensors, as the motion of these items can swing into the sensor's field of vision. Those with pets, meanwhile, may need to invest in pet-immune sensors, which do not pick up on the movement of an animal up to a specified weight level.

Finally, all humans in the house should know how the system works. House guests and service providers should understand not only where the sensors are but also how to enter the pass code. All family members should have the pass code memorized and should know the phone number for the alarm company, in case they need to notify the company of a false alarm before the notification goes to the local police department.

A self-employed entrepreneur in Kansas City, Missouri since 2000, Michael Emmons orchestrated the growth of an alarm system company from its inception to over $70 million in annual sales. Under the direction of Michael Emmons, the Kansas City-based alarm company has been in the top 10 of sales nationwide.

Enhanced wireless technologies have made alarm systems much easier to install and much more user friendly. In fact, in some systems, the only wire necessary is between the power transformer and the panel.

Cellular technologies have removed the need for landline-based telephone service, so today’s alarm systems can communicate seamlessly both with the monitoring station and the homeowner through the use of a smartphone. Cellular alarm reporting technology is also more secure than landlines since burglars are no longer able to disarm a system simply by cutting the phone cable.

Within the home, the alarm panel can communicate with various battery-powered sensors using either the 433MHz or 868MHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands. The new and long-lasting lithium batteries can provide years of maintenance-free service to devices such as a smoke detector, motion sensor, or a door/window contact.
