Can anyone tell me, after 48 hours of working perfectly, this morning getting false alarm after false alarm?

I found that when battery gets low, the alarm sounds several times. Because the battery lasted only a week and after making adjustments, I discontinued using the alarm. It's too bad because it was very useful but became too expensive to continue using it.

I use mine in an indoor retail setting, and found that it is very sensitive. I have tried to position it so that it only chimes when customers enter through the doorway, but it does pick up motion from just outside the parameters that I would choose. I'm going to try rigging some side walls so that it only "sees" what I want it to.

Many things can set off an alarm like that. The wind blowing or even an animal can set them off. We have a different brand and it needs to be re-positioned a little because it even picks up our neighbors when they are outside or leaving. We bought this one as a Christmas present which, of course, we haven't given yet. Ours sounds at night when some deer pass by. You might try to change the position a little and see if that helps.

I found that mine was picking up cars going by outside my building through a window. Also mine quit working altogether second day then started working again day three.

I have the same issue, mine resets to four hours prior within minutes of setting it.

Yes. This has happened twice now. At first I assumed that I set the time wrong however, the alarm was going off at a different time.

I wish I could answer this. We found this system to be very confusing. We managed to set off a few false alarms.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

Please contact the seller you purchased the alarm from in order to troubleshoot the product. There are certain environmental factors that can cause sensitivity issues, and those should be ruled out. After that, if your product is still not functioning as it should, the seller should be able to arrange for an expedited warranty replacement.

is the alarm setting on its own when you plug in the battery? It should only activate when you hold down B, maybe you got a defective one or you have a battery that is almost dead. I would try a new battery. I ordered 2 at the time since there so cheap and I got 2 working alarms! only thing i can think that would make them better is if they gave off a electric shock.

I wish! I had 120 in an apartment building and couldn't even begin to tell you of the countless false alarms we've had since they were installed in 2010. I never found one to mix and match with these. If it is hooked into a relay check that too as sometimes that is the problem.

If I unplug the unit, the alarm goes activates. If I plug it back in, the alarm goes off. Hope this helps.

email the company and tell them what is happening.I had to do it with ours. we also were having problems with intermittent alarm going off when there is no movement with cameras. the company has been great in helping us and repaired and or replaced them. that is the only thing I could tell you to do. but overall I did not think that there would be so much wrong. return the whole thing if you can.

I went with AlarmSim, but as @LeppardQueen said, it will take a while to pay off.. I figure either way is less expensive than getting a new system.. I'll report back once I receive it an set up.

It alerts me when opened or closed no matter what. Not sure if power is lost.

This happend to mine also. I seen this advice on another site. Unplug it, wait a little, plug back in. Go to the setting menu. Go to clock. Make sure to turn off the auto clock setting. Then set it manually. This seemed to work for me. If this doesn't work you probally got a lemon.

Honestly I didn't know that was an option. I really don't think there is one. I am currently at work and will try to remember to look when I get home. I assumed the alarm was preset and/or just went off when levels exceeded above normal levels.

Here is my last post on this subject.Yesterday, I took a day off from work. Since turning off the alarm for just one day is a pain, I decided to simply turn off the Aluratek for the night, and then turn it back on in the morning. BIG MISTAKE. Now, it will not run. I get the startup "splash" screen for a few seconds, the screen goes blank, and then NOTHING. It is now just a $130 nightlight.Too late to send back. So, I will hack into it and find a better way to use it. If I can build some new code, I let others know.
