Is It Possible To Reduce False Alarms?

There is no general definition for false alarms. This is one reason why statistics about false alarms from government sources or from other institutions are neither uniform nor significant. If people observe some fundamental principles and practice them consistently, the large number of false alarms from alarm installations could be reduced considerably. It is of decisive significance that all points of alarm installations are observed with the same care according to the theory of probabilities. A further problem is that a high probability of burglar recognition and a low false alarm rate are contradictory goals.
