ADT helps keep off-campus housing secure in Santa Clara

As home to Santa Clara University and Mission College, Santa Clara is also home to thousands of young adults who have left the security of their parents’ house for the first time. It might make some students – and probably most parents – a little wary about that off-campus apartment. It’s time to stop worrying, because ADT can help keep residents secure, whether they live in a home or rented apartment.

Keeping a close watch at all times

When you allow ADT to help secure your off-campus home, you can rest assured that your belongings and home safety are being monitored 24/7. ADT Monitored Home Security Systems offer a network that communicates with nine command centers strategically located throughout the United States and Canada that link to create one virtual nationwide monitoring platform.

ADT has been in service more than 130 years and in that time has learned the best practices, gained the latest technology and hired the most highly skilled and trained staff. It’s no wonder ADT is the #1 home security provider in America.
