How to maintain and repair your alarm system

Nov 15, 2019

Keep your security alarm in top shape with regular maintenance and professional care. 
A can of surface spray can go a long way to preventing false alarms.

As you've gone to the expense of installing an alarm system to secure your property, it makes sense to look after it.  There's nothing worse than a system that constantly false alarms or, worse still, doesn't go off when it's most needed.  Follow these tips to help keep your alarm system tickety boo! 

1. Bugs cause false alarms.
The sensor inside your motion detectors are around the size of your little finger's nail. Even the smallest bug will appear huge to your detector if it walks across this sensor.  Surface spray around your detectors, not directly on it, to keep them bug free and you will reduce false alarms. 

2. Test your back up battery
When the power goes out, so to will your alarm system if your back up battery has failed.  Your can test yours by turning off the mains power to the alarm to see if your alarm dies or continues to work. If it fails, book a service and one of licensed techs will replace it for you.

3. Keep your Stickers Fresh
Nothing screams out that your alarm system is old and not maintained, than faded or peeeling alarm warning stickers.  If this describes yours, pop in and we will provide you with some fresh ones for free.
