ADT helps you protect your home in San Mateo

For more than 130 years, ADT has been offering customers innovative technology and uncompromising customer service. Today, it helps protect more than 6 million residential, commercial and governmental customers across the country. Why not have the leader in home security services help you protect your home in San Mateo, too?

Banks, airports, retailers, Fortune 500 companies and even the White House rely on the services of ADT every day. The secrets to getting and keeping all these customers are ADT’s 24/7 monitoring and sophisticated home security equipment.

The around-the-clock monitoring is done by ADT’s nine Customer Monitoring Centers, located across the continent. They are interconnected to form one, powerful, nationwide monitoring platform. If one center can’t pick up your call for some reason – say a flood of calls or a natural disaster – then another center in another part of the country can get your call without delay. You are always covered and will always have quick response from ADT.

The technology

Each ADT package comes with the following items:

• High-decibel alarm siren – Emits a loud, abrasive sound that will notify you of an intrusion. The sound also has the potential to scare away an intruder.
• Digital keypad – This simple, easy-to-use keypad lets you input the code to arm or disarm the system. It can be programmed for one-touch access to emergency services.
• Keychain remote – With just the press of a button, you can activate and deactivate your system from up to 50 feet away. Comes standard with a Panic button that manually triggers the alarm.
• Infrared interior motion detector – Monitor a specific area without worrying about your pets triggering the alarm with this programmable detector.
• 3 Points of Protection – These open-and-close sensors emit a distinct chime whenever a designated door or window is opened. Great for detecting intrusion or hearing when your kids are coming and going.
• Battery backup – In the event of a power outage, rest assured knowing that you’re covered for an additional 12 hours with this backup supply.
• ADT yard sign and window decals – Sometimes all you need to do is let the intruders know you mean business. These easy-to-use decals and yard sign proudly tell any potential intruders that your home is being monitored by the best. They’ll think twice before attempting to get in.

The convenience

ADT Monitored Home Security Systems are easy to use. Systems are put in by certified ADT installers, sometimes within one or two business days of the initial call. These professionals are knowledgeable of the systems they install and are more than willing to answer any questions you may have regarding your new system. Installation goes pretty fast because the system is wireless – meaning no holes to drill and no wires to run through your walls.

The cost

Monitoring plans start at about a dollar a day. Upgrades that cost a little more include:

• ADT Pulse – This feature gives you the ultimate in convenience by letting you arm and disarm your system from your cellphone or any web-enabled device. You can also receive alerts by text or email rather than phone, if you prefer.
• CellGuard® – This technology is for households that do not have a landline. Home security systems traditionally rely on a landline to communicate with the monitoring centers. CellGuard® means your system uses cellular technology for communication instead. This is also a great backup system for home phones that often go down.
• Two-way voice – This feature can be added to your digital keypad to allow you to communicate with ADT through a two-way intercom. It can save time when it counts the most. The microphone on the keypad can pick up a normal speaking voice up to 75 feet away, so even if you can’t get to the intercom, the ADT dispatcher can still hear and help you.

Many insurance companies give their customers up to 20 percent off their homeowner’s or renter’s insurance when they get an ADT monitored system. Ask about this benefit when you call to learn more about ADT.
