With thieves harnessing new and innovative ways of breaking into homes, monitored alarm systems are becoming an increasingly popular option for keeping the home secured around the clock.
Utilising the latest technology, ADT Security offer a range of alarm systems that are tailored to individual household needs and ensure a safe and secure home.
Options available for homeowners when considering a monitored alarm system include:
- Door and window contacts at vulnerable entry points of the home, to provide perimeter protection
- Glass Break Sensors to increase perimeter protection
- Motion Sensors to detect intruders in particular areas of the home, which can also be set up to take into account pets and extreme environments
- Portable and fixed panic buttons to cater for medical emergencies or other duress situations, which can be installed to alert ADT’s 24 hour Customer Care Centre
Traditionally viewed as a commercial security solution, closed-circuit television (CCTV) is now recognised as the ultimate security for the home. System capabilities range from basic external cameras to extensive Digital Video Recording (DVR), such as ADT’s Intellex, which can be linked to a bank of CCTV cameras that zoom in to record irregular activity and can be connected to lighting and alarm systems.
ADT Security offer a fire monitoring service, which can be integrated with the home smoke alarm to provide additional back up in the event of a fire. This is particularly beneficial for those with hearing disabilities or young children, who may sleep through a smoke alarm as well as in instances when a smoke alarm is not activated fast enough to wake the occupants.
ADT Security’s fire monitoring service connects fire alarms to an off-site Customer Care Centre, which alerts emergency services once an alarm is activated. This means that even if a fire occurs when occupants are not at home to hear the alarm, monitoring will detect it and be able to act to protect the home.
