Bring peace of mind home in Phoenix with ADT security

For residents of Phoenix or any other community, assurance beats anxiety every time. And assurance is exactly what you get with monitoring and alarm service from ADT.

Homeowners, businesses and government agencies have relied on ADT to help safeguard people and property for well over a century. A story that began in the late 19^th century with electric signal devices and night watchmen continues today with infrared motion detectors and wireless communication networks.

As the decades passed, the standards of performance, value and service that customers grew to expect from ADT became more than a reputation. They became an enduring legacy.

Unmatched experience, resources and performance

With more than 6 million customers, ADT is the largest provider of security solutions on the entire North American continent. ADT’s clients range from homeowners like you to high-level government agencies and some of the largest corporations in the world.

ADT maintains a 24-hour network of monitoring stations covering several strategic locations across the United States and Canada, where dispatchers stand ready to provide rapid response in case of emergency. The ADT network acts on more than 29 million alarm signals a year. Since the early days of automated security in the 1940s, the total number of calls ADT has handled exceeds 1 billion.

If you measure a company’s worth by experience, resources and day-to-day performance, you’ll agree that nobody comes close to ADT.

Using the best equipment and the best people

Homeowners with ADT security systems can count on multiple layers of protection. The key factors are technology and training:

• Sophisticated devices monitor your home with pinpoint accuracy – you can even program motion detectors to distinguish between your family pet and an actual intruder, reducing the risk of false alarms.
• When a threat such as a break-in or fire is detected, the system activates a high-decibel alarm to alert the home’s occupants and sends an electronic signal to an ADT monitoring center. A trained dispatcher immediately contacts the homeowner and notifies local authorities if needed.

Not only does ADT have the right tools for home security, it also has the right people using them.

Protection from fire, carbon monoxide and more

For many people, the first thing that comes to mind when they think of home security is the threat of burglary. The FBI estimates that break-ins cost American property owners billions of dollars every year.

But with ADT, homeowners enjoy protection from burglars and a number of other threats:

• ADT’s list of features includes electronic monitoring for fires and carbon monoxide leaks as well as flooding and freezing.
• ADT also offers additional motion sensors to monitor doors and windows when you upgrade to multiple points of protection – a must-have for parents of adventurous toddlers, for example.
• Seniors and people living with medical conditions don’t have to give up their independence thanks to ADT. The medical alert options offer immediate, one-touch access to an ADT dispatcher if help is needed.

Other security providers might be content to provide bare-bones alarm systems and little more, but not ADT. An emphasis on comprehensive protection for entire homes and entire families has helped ADT become the leading source of electronic security services in North America.

The people behind the name

Dispatchers aren’t the only members of the ADT team. The company also has more than 6,000 installers and service technicians, as well as a customer service department that’s available to answer your questions 24 hours a day.

While their skills and duties may vary, the workforce of 20,000-plus ADT associates shares a common goal: to maintain the high standards of customer satisfaction that helped make the company what it is today.

From telegrams to monitored security

Phoenix, AZ, wasn’t always a diverse metropolis with a symphony orchestra and high-tech manufacturing companies. Likewise, ADT’s journey also involves humble beginnings.

In 1874, the newly formed American District Telegraph had one purpose — sending simple dot-and-dash messages across wires. However, the company would soon begin to apply the science of electric signal communication in the security field.

By the 1890s, night watchmen were using electric-powered Call Boxes to contact police and fire departments, and the Call Boxes themselves were sending the low-tech equivalent of real-time status updates to ADT offices. It wasn’t long before the security side of ADT’s business became an independent operation. ADT continued to ride the waves of innovation, from solid-state transistors to computers, and became an industry leader.
