Veritas alarm going off!!

got myself a veritas alarm system.... been working fine for the last couple of years... but for the last couple of nights, the alarm has been sounding at night for no apparant reason... we alway switch the alarm on at night, so the ground floor is secure...

what could be the reason for this to happen?

    can you see which sensor was triggerd, you can normally tell from the flashing light on the keypad- this will relate to a room
  • Spiders? very common at the moment. They crawl in or around the sensors and trigger them. Feather duster is the MSE way to go!

    I would check for insects.

    A fly or spider can set a sensor off so I would guess thats the most likely problem.

    Do you have your alarm serviced as it could be a faulty wire?
