Found a stat about false alarms that surprised me

Was reading through a security trade journal last night and saw that 94-98% of all alarm calls are false. That means for every 50 calls we respond to, only 1 or 2 are real. Makes me wonder how many customers we're losing just because of nuisance alarms. Anyone else deal with clients complaining about false dispatches?

One stat I saw broke false alarms down by sensor type and motion detectors accounted for 60% of them. Might be worth looking at how we're calibrating those vs the actual entry points.

And is anyone tracking how often pets trigger those motion detectors versus actual people?
