False alarms come with a cost that goes far beyond mere inconvenience. Imagine a rapid response unit rushing to an intrusion alarm, only to discover that a distracted employee set it off by entering the wrong code. Over time, such incidents drain monitoring companies’ budgets by driving up expenses for unnecessary dispatches, operational overhead, and additional staffing.
