Had an old installer tell me my contact placements were lazy last month

He said I was putting sensors too close to the door edge because it was easier. So I started placing them a full 6 inches further back on the frame and now I get way fewer false alarms. Anybody else get called out like that and actually change their whole approach?

Back in my day we walked uphill both ways through false alarm territory.

Old school guys hate shortcuts but sometimes they're right. Moving those contacts back cured my false alarm headaches. Hard to argue with results.

Actually those are false triggers not false alarms. False alarms are when the system goes off for no reason, false triggers are when something sets it off that isn't a real break-in lol.
