False alarms

Or are they?

A new G2 client in Iowa was convinced his system was triggering for no reason. He was certain nothing was around the trailer. Quiet area. No activity. No obvious threats.

He sent the unit back.

We tested it at no charge. Full check. No issues found. Sent it back with a clean bill of health.

A few nights later, it alerts again.

This morning he calls with the code. Onboard accelerometer.

That means movement. Not a glitch. Not a software hiccup. Physical movement.

Then we look at the map.

Plenty of houses nearby. Open land. Wildlife. People. Curiosity.

What could it be?

• Someone tugging on a door handle
• Someone checking a hitch
• A bump in the night
• A deer brushing past the side
• A golf ball from the nearby golf course

The G2 does not guess. It reports what it feels.

We talked through options to dial in sensitivity and give him more peace of mind. That is part of the job too. Not just building hardware, but calming nerves.

Here is the hard truth.

Most “false” alerts are not false. They are early warnings.

And early warnings are the whole point.
