Causes of False Alarms
Security alarms activate falsely due to faulty PIR sensors triggered by temperature changes or pets, loose door or window contacts, low backup battery triggering tamper alerts, incorrect user codes or programming, spiders or insects in sensors, poor sensor placement catching curtains or blinds, wiring faults, or zones not properly bypassed. Load shedding can also disrupt alarm settings causing problems.
The Urgency of Alarm Problems
A constantly sounding alarm is not only disturbing to you and neighbors in Strand but also reduces security. If your alarm goes off frequently, you or armed response may start ignoring it, defeating its purpose. Additionally, a sounding alarm you cannot silence is extremely stressful. Our Strand security team treat these as emergency calls and respond quickly to restore peace and proper security.
Silencing and Diagnosing Alarms
If you cannot silence your alarm, we can guide you through master code resets over the phone for immediate relief. We then attend to diagnose the underlying fault by testing all sensors, checking wiring and connections, verifying backup battery condition, inspecting control panel for faults, adjusting sensor sensitivity and placement, updating user codes and programming, and clearing fault logs. We find the root cause.

We repair or replace faulty sensors, rewire damaged circuits, replace weak backup batteries, reprogram the system correctly, adjust sensor positions, eliminate false trigger sources, and provide user training on correct operation. We also advise on system upgrades if your alarm is outdated. All work restores your alarm to reliable operation giving you peace of mind and real security.
