yes, too many false alarms especially from electronic bulletin boards on interstates. I returned for that reason solely.

Police radars mainly use "k", "ka" & "laser" alerts. Other car radar detectors use most of the others, so I recommend checking those off the menu list as I did. In town shops with automatic doors will set of the police alerts, and if you pass them often enough, you'll recognize them. Highway driving with the police alert going off briefly with no police in front or behind might be a police car going in the other direction or hills/median concrete walls causing the signal to break up intermittently.

No it doesn't, and I've had a lot of false alarms and it gets super annoying, seems to go off when the lock is unlocked and not go off when it's locked, I ended up just removing the battery because all the false alarms.

That being said, I have never had the alarm go off for high wind watches and warnings... It has only sounded for Severe Thunderstorm watches/warnings and tornado watches/warnings... I did not have it this winter, so I don't know if it sounds for winter weather alerts.

I can see your point about turning it off. I have a cheaper unit that I keep in my shop. Thinking about upgrading. I just turn the sensor toward the wall when I'm working out there so the alarm will not be sounding constantly all day when I'm out cleaning or working. Kind of like telling the guard "don't shoot! It's me! Just take the afternoon off"! I just have to turn it back around when I lock up. Form a habit like pulling your keys out of the door after you lock the lock. It's just habit.

Hi, It sounds like you had a power failure or lighting strike to the system. This happened to me and the alarm continued to sound-off. The only way to stop the alarm from ringing is to disconnect it from the main power source. Rotate the entire alarm counter-clockwise until it is unsecured from the base. There is a socket plug connector to the power source. Unplug. If this the only unit in the house that is sounding, it is defective and needs to be replaced.

No, we use scented candles and we do not have problems with false alarms from the light candle smoke.If you were to put the candle under the smoke alarm and the candle gave off a heavy black smoke, this would set off the alarm.

I don't think they've confirmed it, but I had an original two malfunction and one of my two replacement units gave false alarms also. So either way, the product is junk. I have returned all for my money back.

I have never experienced a false alarm. The unit has a low battery light to tell you when it is time to change the battery. I have used my unit since 10/27/11 and have not needed to install a battery yet. I personally think it is a tremendous value for the money!

It stops making the alarm noise when the power returns.......I suggest turning the power off at the circut box to see for yourself.

I tried to do the same thing with the same app and found it to be unreliable. Sometimes nothing would happen when the alarm was scheduled to activate. It may be the tune in app itself, as I've had some startup issues with it.

Too many false alarms, anytime it looses Bluetooth contact, it goes off. Might just be my Galaxy note 3.

I had it set incorrectly the first night and the alarm sounded at 5:30am (sigh)... it's the third setting, not the forth. :-)

Honestly I didn't know that was an option. I really don't think there is one. I am currently at work and will try to remember to look when I get home. I assumed the alarm was preset and/or just went off when levels exceeded above normal levels.

Pretty much yes, con sometimes it go off by it self maybe because I had another alarm that was ready install or the person didn't know what he was doing. It's really good product yes I would recommend it

I have 12 on these units and some are good while others are a problems. But for false signals try and check if it's happening during sunrise as the sun will cause false alarms. If so a slight adjustment could remedy the problem. Also, their customer support is pretty good. Good luck.

Mine has never had a problem. The only time the alarm goes off and it shows that is if the battery dies on the camera and it just warns you that it's no longer able to give u video feedback. Make sure both are fully charged and maybe that will help.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do that the way other alarms do. I press the alarm button to turn it off, then just turn it right back on again. And that resets it for the next day. And then I can not turn it on for the weekend. Maybe in a fancier version there is more programming capability?
