Many false alarms in York can be avoided
Just like you would address any issue, the first thing to do is review the owner’s instruction booklet. Ensure all alarms and sensors are installed appropriately from your end by:
- Performing a system analysis through your smart hub touchscreen.
- Manually evaluate each sensor to make sure it didn't get knocked out of place or need fresh batteries.
- Check your schedules and presets to ensure that your alarms aren’t engaging at inopportune times.
- Be certain that all integrated smart devices are incorporated correctly and aren't interfering with your system.
Call your customer service representative if you still have issues cutting down false alarms in your York system. They'll be happy to dispatch a trained expert to examine your equipment.
Investigate your doors and windows
When your system appears to be alright, the ensuing step is to do a sweep of your residence. Are all your windows and doors tightly secured, or do you find some mistakenly open? If an access point is left unlatched, it might activate an activated sensor. If it just so happens that your household consistently forgets to shut an entrance, you can install a smart lock that secures automatically when the alarm goes live. Unfortunately, windows require more physical effort, particularly if you have a loved one who enjoys to rest with an open window. Thankfully, your Vivint alarm system makes it a breeze to turn off that sensor while still guarding the remaining areas of the property.
