Make sure your alarm monitoring company does check for low battery and mains power off. There has been pattern from criminals during the holidays to switch electricity street box off and wait for your alarm LED Status to go off, indicating that you alarm now has no power in order the break in.
Electric fencing: Arcing is caused by high voltage wire line on the plastics bobbins which deteriorate after about 10 years This can cause false alarms and an annoying loud cracking sound of high voltage shorting. Vegetation and branches need to kept clear of the electric fence wires as this can cause shorting and false alarms. Backup battery should be checked that it is still working.
Gate Motors: Gates not running correctly, making a noise or hard to push in manual mode are a sign failed wheel bearing or worn track. If gate starts and stops before fully closing or opening can be a sign of this. When the electricity is off and the gate fails to run properly on battery backup, this is a sign that the batteries need replacing.
