False Alarm Fees

Has anyone experienced multiple false alarm fees.  I have 5 systems for my businesses and at my home.  The motion sensors at my home in particular have essentially triggered every time I have activated.  Having missed the 800# call twice I have been charged $746 in false alarm fees by my city

I've had two false alarms caused by my cat being locked in a room with a motion detector....my fault.  I went to the PD both times to explain and they told me I get two free-bees a year, and then it's $25.00 after that.  Obviously it depends on where you live and what fines have been established by your city council.  

Maybe changing the sensitivity settings on your motion detectors would help.

Our CA municipality charges $324 per false alarm!  I have changed the sensitivity many time.  One gripe I may share with you friend is that small animals are not suppose to set these things off, as advertised, we have a 13lb dog.

Have you tried turning the motion sensor upside down, with the button on the bottom?  That's supposed to help avoid detecting small animals...

You should change your settings for "secret alerts" for the motion sensors for a period of time while you work to adjust your settings, sensitivity level, locations, etc.
