ADT can help Tempe, AZ, take home security from imagination to reality

Imagine leaving for work every morning knowing that your home will be protected against break-ins, fires and other threats every minute you’re away.

While you’re at the office, you can use a computer, cellphone or mobile device to check on your home’s status or even arm your system if you forgot to when you left. And after you tuck your children into bed, you’ll know that a high-tech system of electronic guardians is helping you watch over them.

You don’t have to imagine this kind of life in Tempe for you and your loved ones. With the help of ADT, the most trusted name in home security, you can make it a reality.

Comprehensive protection at a reasonable price

ADT offers effective and affordable security strategies that help protect your home, your family and your belongings 24 hours a day.

 For a little more than a dollar a day, you can get the All-Inclusive Monitoring Bundle that includes:

• Infrared motion detector
• High-decibel alarm
• Three entryway contacts
• Digital keypad and keychain remote
• Yard sign and window decals

Also, ADT premium bundles offer the additional features two-way voice and CellGuard®. You can enhance your home’s protection even further by upgrading your service to include monitoring for flooding and freezing as well as other options.

But no matter which package you choose, you can count on the same brand of comprehensive protection that helped make ADT the leading choice for electronic security in the United States and Canada.

The key innovator in security technology

In the 1880s, when Tempe was still an unincorporated farming community and Arizona was years away from becoming a state, ADT was helping start a revolution.

By applying telegraph technology to the field of security, ADT developed electric call boxes that let night watchmen quickly summon help in case of burglary or fire. Eventually these devices would also have the capability to send periodic “all-clear” signals to ADT monitoring offices.

Over the next century, security technology would progress from call boxes to solid-state transistors to micro-computers. The 1940s ushered in automated fire and break-in detection, while the development of a central monitoring station in the 1970s provided a glimpse of the modern ADT cornerstone: an interactive monitoring network that never sleeps.

The network is always standing guard

At a series of interconnected command centers stretching across North America, ADT dispatchers maintain a 24/7 watch for alarm signals that indicate a variety of potential threats:

• Break-ins
• Fires
• Carbon monoxide
• Medical emergencies

These dispatchers are trained to provide rapid response, contacting customers to check on their well-being and notifying the local authorities if needed. In a typical year, ADT Customer Monitoring Centers act on more than 29 million alarm signals. In 2004 alone, they responded to more than 50,000 crimes in progress.

You won’t find this level of comprehensive coverage anywhere but ADT.

The customer’s needs come first

A company can offer the best products in the industry but still fall short without the key ingredient of customer service. ADT strives to ensure that all of its clients — more than 6 million homeowners, businesses and government agencies across North America — enjoy the most courteous and professional experience possible.

The ADT workforce includes more than 6,000 installers and service technicians, along with a customer service division available to assist you 24 hours a day. If you’re thinking about adding ADT monitored protection to your home, you can count on a free consultation with an expert who will accurately assess your needs. That’s exactly how it went for this ADT customer:

 “I had never purchased a home alarm before, so I had a lot of questions. But Jenny from Security Choice answered all of my questions over the phone, which made me feel better about my decision.”

But the majority of ADT customers are homeowners like you, mainly interested in the safety of people who are worth more than any material fortune.

These clients have at least one thing in common, though —they all put their trust in ADT. And if you contact ADT today, you’ll be taking a first step toward making an ideal state of security for your Tempe household into an everyday reality.
