Was there heavy rain? or somone with loud bass driving by? This could all contribute to false alarms you could also try switching the sensitivity on the alarm.

have you physically looked at your hood pin switch? sounds like it is broken or not functioning correctly this is a common problem with the hood pin switches that come with that alarm.. most of the time it is due to installation error

Most likely they tapped in to the OEM hood pin. Make sure they diode isolated the signal from the BCM. Also, make sure the hoodpin is lined up and not bent in any way.
