Why can't I see the reason
Posted: Wed May 22, 2019 11:59 pmI'm getting false alarms and the Alarm Decoder log is not complete, it's missing information that would help me fix this system. Why am I NEVER seeing the reason for alerts to be triggered in the middle of the night? Why is the log not complete?
Situation is Alarm is triggered in the middle of the night and I go disarm the system before it actually triggers the siren. Because I disarmed it before the siren goes off I can't tell what zone triggered the system, which is a crappy design if you ask me, but whatever. Thing is I'm not seeing anything at all in the decoder log either, first thing logged is disarming the system. Why am I never seeing the event that triggered the alarm in the middle of the night????

This happens like once every other week and I've lost confidence in the system with all the false alarms, and I've lost confidence in alarm decoder because plainly the log is missing information in many cases. I'm about to tear the thing out and put something else in unless this incomplete logging issue and the false alert trigger can be solved.
