    What sensor are they tripping? an outside sensor or are they banging/kicking on doors or windows?

    Are your kids inside the house with the alarm on?

    What kind of alarm do you have that they could be triggering? Maybe talk to the alarm company to see what they suggest? Could it be something inside the house (a cat?) that sets it off?

    It could be the PIR beam. They are very sensitive to direct sunlight and at a certain time of day the sun could shine into the path of the beam and activate the alarm. What zone is activating the alarm?

    I think one key thing is being overlooked here.

    there are laws around alarms and how long an outside bell can go off for. If your alarm is breaching the legal requirment too right your getting complaints regardless of the reason its going off.

    I'm open to correction, but I think that only applies to new alarms?
