For the people that had multiple false alarms, what brand/model did you replace these with?

I used the same brand. The sensors after about 10 years will begin to fail. After discussing the issue with tech reps from the manufacturer I replaced all of the detectors with the new replacement model and have had no problems.

I have had mine for years and years but I can't really answer! I use the alarm sound which will go off ten separate times probably 30 sec. Or so apart. I have had on since around 1978-ish and am only on my second one. I t is set for 4 separate alarms. I love the convenience of being able to grab my alarm and a couple containers when we go to my son's for an overnight. Good size too for the purse don't you agree? If you haven't purchased it yet I suggest you do. Enjoy.

Seem as they are all broken I don't remember. There is a on off switch for sound so I just wanted a visual. I never used the audible alarm. But like I said, none of them work as all failed.

email the company and tell them what is happening.I had to do it with ours. we also were having problems with intermittent alarm going off when there is no movement with cameras. the company has been great in helping us and repaired and or replaced them. that is the only thing I could tell you to do. but overall I did not think that there would be so much wrong. return the whole thing if you can.

We had one sensor pad. Had false alarms now and then, but they decreased when we turned the sensitivity up. Also, make sure you have a piece of plywood that covers the entire area beneath the mattress so if the baby is in the crib corner, the breathing can be detected.

No, I have had no problem with false alarms. I am very satisfied with this economical product.

It should be an issue to replace one model for another as long as the voltage is the same (US 120V). You may have to install the connector that comes with the new alarm if it has a different connector. Otherwise they are both ionic sensing and very similar in functionality.

I don't recall it had an alarm, but I want you to know that ours quit working and the company wouldn't fix it. Maybe try a different company.

Mine needed new batteries after a year. The batteries are available at Walmart for almost $6 EACH. Because it requires THREE batteries, it's cheaper to replace the alarm than purchase batteries.

I had a similar situation. I used this without a problem. My house had 1276 alarms and this one was plug and play. Actually I was upset with my alarms in my house. This alarm came with a date of manufacture and my house ones did not.

Usually comes as a single unit. I first bought 1, then I bought 4. Just to make sure when I wanted a replacement, I'd have one. Ha ha ha I have had mine one running for over 4 years. I get numerous questions as to what kind of alarm I have.

I have 12 on these units and some are good while others are a problems. But for false signals try and check if it's happening during sunrise as the sun will cause false alarms. If so a slight adjustment could remedy the problem. Also, their customer support is pretty good. Good luck.

I returned the system to the online retailer after a few days because it was not dependable and triggered multiple false alarms. In the system's defense I was told by the manufacturer it was because the sensor was in the vicinity of some overhead power lines and the sensor was being fooled by the electromagnetic waves. The folks at Dakota were very helpful and knew right away why my system was false alarming.
