And I have decent neighbours who wouldn't just ignore it.

And that is the key to a good alarm.

I think that it is probably the other way around. A decent alarm, that
doesn't regularly give false alarms, is likely to be checked by the
neighbours, whereas one that's always going off will be ignored.

All the ones which go off regularly round here without an intruder are pro
installed on maintenance contracts. Which doesn't surprise me given the
very poor wiring installation standards of many of these - cables run down
the side of carpets, etc. Just asking to be damaged when a new carpet is
fitted.
