True indeed.  The best way to reduce false alarms, assuming the hardware is
decent quality and the installation was done correctly, is to make sure that
everyone who uses the alarm system understands it.  A little time spend
educating the family about closing and locking doors and windows, not leaving
Fido running loose with motion detectors armed, etc., will go a long way.
