My alarm is constantly going off!?

I just got a prestige alarm installed for $479 dollars. It went off 3 times last nite and once just now. Did they make the sensors too sensitive? What the hell is going on here guys? my neighbors are going to shoot me soon and steal my car themselves. The water sprinkler outside just set the alarm off

please help..

installer error, or shock sensor, but most likely installer error.

take it back to the place you got it installed, make them fix it for you.

hey guys i went there today and the guy wasnt too friendly. He adjusted the audio sensor and he said it should be fine.

i come home and an hour later my alarm goes off. so i went to ace hardware bout a small screw driver and made the sensor even less sensetive. i hope im set now..

More product error than any of the above. This isnt the first time and certainly wont be the last Ive heard the same issues with Audiovox alarms.
