I'd guess that it was a straight malfunction. In fact, it sounds a lot like what I went through about a year ago.
I also had a prestige alarm - only on a Civic. It worked fine for about 2 - 3 years, acting normal. However, one day things started getting funny - it would randomly go off without anything being nearby. You could park it in an underground garage, alone in a corner and it would start blaring on it's incentive. It wasn't as strict as yours - nothing like every four hours...it just would, periodically, without any kind of logical schedule.
One day my aunt came back to find that someone managed to open the hood, disconnect the battery, and left a sign " fix your alarm. " They were nice enough not to take anything, but, poor people, it was probably going off for hours in the dead of night.
Wound up yanking the alarm module out and throwing it away. Since then, no alarm.
