I dont think anyone deliberately triggered this alarm, was just thinking they screwed up something badly. The sharp timing may be related to some function that went wrong and initiated an alarm.

Well, lesson learnt for sure... but if it is a real alarm no way you can spend time around with anything. I took it too serious for sure but you never know.
