Your Alarm System During a Cyclone

Cyclone power outages can cause unexpected alarm system issues, from nuisance beeping to false alarms. The video below walks you through how to disable and reset your alarm system during a cyclone power outage so your home stays secure and the system keeps working properly.

Why a power outage affects your alarm system

Most alarm panels run on mains power with a backup battery that keeps the system armed for a period when the electricity drops out. As that battery discharges, or when power is restored, the panel can beep, show a fault light, or trip the siren, which is why homes often report false alarms during storms. Knowing how to silence, disable, or reset the panel correctly stops these nuisance triggers without leaving the property unprotected. The video demonstrates this reset process step by step for homeowners, so you can act quickly when a cyclone knocks out the power.
