It could be a tamper fault, it is actually supposed to do that regardless to how annoying it may be for you. Depending how old your system is, how often it has been serviced etc, i would guess it might be your bell box tamper, because its the only part of your alarm that is outside and exposed to the elements. It could also be a battery fault, it really depends what control panel you have.
