Saw a stat that 60% of false alarms come from just 3 types of sensors

I was reading through some industry report last night and it said PIRs, glass breaks, and door contacts cause the bulk of false alarms. Makes me wonder if we should be pushing different sensor combos or just better placement. Any of you guys finding the same trends on your installs?

Woah wait, dogs barking set off your glass breaks 26% of the time? I mean, I knew they were sensitive but that's wild.

PIR placement is usually the problem honestly, people mount them right in front of drafty registers lol.

26% of my glass break false alarms last month were from dogs barking nearby. @the_christopher nailed it with the PIR draft thing.
