Security systems are notoriously awful for RFI.  Vic has given you good
advice, but I would also consider RF bypass caps on any cables going to
external sensors (if there are any) that are simply carrying dry switch
contacts. Even better, if you can, replace any parallel wire cables with
twisted pair.  0.01uF or 0.0047 uF would be good values to use.
