Good feedback! After 2 false alarms at my house, I have learned a couple things:
1. Don't turn the alarm off too soon. Let it run a bit and watch it.
2. My panel will scroll for each zone that is tripped. Watch the panel. If its only one zone it is likely a false alarm (depending on your design). If I see: glass break basement, then motion in basement then motion in main living I have a better understanding of what is going on.
3. When you turn the alarm off, wait and listen.
4. Clearing my house was a frightening task after false alarm #1 - I didn't enjoy it and wouldn't suggest it. It's only my wife and I at the house so there is little else to worry about.
If thermal imaging devices were more affordable I would buy one. Seeing a heat signature through walls seems useful.
