ADT Security is the top provider of home and business security services in the United States and serves an unprecedented subscriber base of more than 5 million. With more than 130 years of home security experience, ADT has become the most respected name in the business. Additionally, ADT provides services to more than 150,000 home and business owners in the United Kingdom. Having an ADT alarm system is often described as having live-in security personnel.

The most recent advances in security and monitoring technology have allowed ADT Home Security to expand their services to not only include protection against burglaries and break-ins but also carbon monoxide level detection, smoke and fire monitoring, medical emergency assistance, and GPS tracking with emergency monitoring of automobiles. Basic home security protection begins at $32.99 and includes a control panel, a keypad, an alarm, sensors, access monitors, and an off-site control station. These items are basic to all systems. Custom systems are offered to families who desire more advanced systems, and these may include smoke and fire detection, tracking systems, glass breakage detectors, and motion detectors. When one mentions a home security alarm system, most people think of burglar systems. ADT Alarm Services recognizes protection of homes and possessions as priority but they also realize that homes and home owners need additional diverse services - smoke and fire damage, assistance with medical emergencies, detection of deadly carbon monoxide levels, and GPS tracking and emergency monitoring of transportation vehicles. State of the art equipment provides continuous 24-hour monitoring with immediate notification of one of five strategically located Command Monitoring Centers to assure person-to-person communications. These centers receive activated signals and then confirm the emergency with notification of appropriate agencies. Panic buttons (police, fire, and personal emergencies) are monitored by the Command Center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because they are used when you need them, they are independent of the system's daily operations A simple code will turn the system on and off with 'quick arm' features: 'Stay' when you remain in the house and 'Away' when you leave the house. Glass break sensors are optional and have the ability to detect the sound of glass breaking within the coverage area and will activate when this sound is identified. Most systems include door and window sensors, leaving the home susceptible to entry through windows. The glass break sensor provides coverage for this point of entry. A Wireless Emergency Button is optional and may be clipped to a belt or worn as a pendant. This is an asset to seniors who are more prone to falls. These buttons are programmed to notify the Command Center when activated from as far as 100 feet away from the console - indoors or outdoors.
