Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skylink PS-434A Motion Sensor
Customer Review: False alarm, twice in 2 months, no pets, high and low sensitivity
Summary: 4 Stars
Two false alarms in 2 months... Details below
I have a two-level house, the bedrooms upstairs, and I wanted the peace of mind of knowing no burglar is attempting entry while I am asleep upstairs. I installed the SC-1000 system, put the door sensors at the back door and the 3-season French doors. I put one motion sensor per room downstairs: kitchen, living room, kid's playroom, and one facing the front door in a small hallway.
I let the motions sensors initially on the default high-sensitivity setting. I installed the system about 1 month before Thanksgiving.
First false alarm: the Thanksgiving night, alarm went off. I woke up, disarmed and re-armed the system to see if it's a false alarm or really there is movement downstairs. Did not go off the 2nd time but then I heard a noise in the kitchen (like silverware on a plate) so I called 911. They came, checked the house...and nothing.
The next morning I set the motion sensors on the lower sensitivity setting thinking it might have been a mouse in the kitchen. I set traps, no mice since then...
Second false alarm tonight (Dec/28). I did the same thing, disarmed and re-armed the system, did not go off the 2nd time. I still called 911 for my peace of mind, they came, checked the house...and nothing again. They said usually the false alarms with motion sensors are set by heat or A/C coming on and moving curtains or other things.
After they left, we checked the house for what might have been setting the alarm off. The doors were locked, so it must have been the motion sensors. We checked for fallen Christmas tree ornaments...nothing. The only thing that could have set it off were some drawings of my two-year-old that we taped on a door in the kitchen and I realized tonight when the heat came on that they do move as the air blows through the vents. Not sure they move hard enough to set it off, but it's the only explanation we have. I now taped them all over, so they can't move any more when air blows. I'll be back with updates, it's very frustrating when you get these false alarms in the middle of the night.
