Alarms are so often triggered by chance. They go off so often that often people ignore the alarm. Lol. Sorry for the "oftens."
I remember the FIASCO of car alarms. They became so annoying that people stopped putting them in.

Garages are best.

We use our garage. Our cars are never in the driveway so you can’t tell if we are home or not. Almost noone else in the neighborhood uses their garage for parking. They all use it for storing JUNK! They’ll leave a $50k car in the driveway and store junk in their garage. Stupid.
We also have a video system and an alarm system. If they ever actually make it in the house they are dead. We also have a dog but she will bark at anything so is not much help. Lol
