Tips For Business Owners: Avoid False Alarms With Your Commercial Security System

By Mark Mahaffey


If you have ever had to deal with a false alarm from your commercial security system, then you know how frustrating it can be! Not only can it cause the police to have to come to your business for no reason, but you may also end up with a hefty bill to pay!

One reason you may get a false alarm is because your office workers do not know how to properly operate it. You should set up regular meetings so that you can train you people on how to use it. You may also want to create a video training that they can watch if they cannot attend the meetings.

Some commercial security systems have motion detectors connected. If your system has these, they could cause a false alarm. If there is clutter or other small objects in the area of the detectors, these could get kicked or blown into the path of the monitored area. When this happens, the motion detectors may be tripped, causing a false alarm.

Door and window seals are another thing to check when you are trying to prevent false alarm. If these are not in good condition, they may cause the alarm to sound. It is a good idea to check these every six months or so. If you notice wearing or fraying, have them repaired as soon as possible.

You likely have a fire system connected to your main security system, and this is another place that you should check when you are trying to prevent false alarms. If the batteries are not fresh or if the wiring is old, they could cause a false alarm. Be sure to check them every six months or so.

When you have a commercial security system, false alarms can be a big hassle. Prevent these from happening by making sure your workers know how to operate it and that your system is in good working order.
