Why does my car alarm keep going off?

My car alarm keeps going off. It lasts 20-30 seconds then stops, and the key fob beeps four times on arming.

Given the current situation with the cold weather and lack of use due to Covid restrictions, my guess would be that the battery charge is low. Try charging it up or using a trickle charger.
