No disrespect but...Are you serious? The thing beeps for I think 1 minute before it's siren goes off....It's been tripped accidently and yes it was going full tilt bozo until it woke me up....We do have an intercom system to communicate in the house to let everyone know it's accidental or to call to other rooms within the house.
Like I said I almost laugh when I think of someone thinking me to be anything but overly cautious....Yes most of this might be over the top but there are times when people get really bold like after hurricanes and such....Check out all the home invasions in Texas and Florida after the storm, looters and other scumbags tend to leave their own neighborhoods if you know what I mean....

My “99%” guess was exaggerated but the numbers support my position. 60% of burglars won’t even consider your house if there is an alarm. If the robber is in the house and the alarm goes off, only 13% say they will continue. And this doesn’t even go into the probabilities of robbing a house that’s known to be inhabited vs uninhabited. So in the unlikely event that you’re home and the burglar decides to continue the attempt after the alarm sounds, I stand by my recommended plan for you. Stolen stuff is replaceable, the lives of your loved ones or yourself are not.
