Which of the following lighting types produces the most false alarms?
A.
Continuous
B.
Trip
C.

D.

Explanation:
Trip lighting uses a trigger to activate the lights. Many companies use
trip lighting around the perimeter so that the outside lights will turn on when
someone approaches the facility. Animals moving in designated areas can cause this
lighting system to activate and produce many false alarms.
Trip lighting probably produces the most false alarms. It is tripped by persons moving towards an area under surveillance. As such, animals in the vicinity could set off the alarm.
