False Alarms Are A Design Problem, Not A Fact Of Life
If your alarm cries wolf often enough, you stop listening. That is the real security failure.

Why Systems Over-Trigger
Poor sensor placement, no differentiation between zones, and no assessment layer between detection and notification. The system has no way to tell a genuine event from a passing cat, so it treats both as urgent.
The Cost Of Alert Fatigue
After the fourth false alarm in a month, the fifth gets ignored. Staff stop responding, neighbours stop reporting, and the one real incident lands in a silence everyone created together.
Human Verification Changes The Maths
A trained operator assessing each alert against context, time, and sensor history filters out the noise before it reaches you. What arrives on your phone is worth answering.
What To Ask A Provider
Who reviews the alert before I am contacted, what is the verification step, and can you show me the response record. If the answer to any of those is vague, the system is a siren, not a service.
