Sarasota, Florida: Consider five reasons you should have monitored home security from ADT

Sarasota, Florida, residents may enjoy the splendor of one of the most beautiful areas on the Gulf Coast. But like other Florida cities, Sarasota is not immune to the effects of crime.  Consider five excellent reasons to help protect yourself and your family against crime with the help of a monitored security system from ADT.

One: ADT helps to protect your home when you cannot do so. If you are like most residents of Sarasota, you cannot be at home 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ADT, on the other hand, can be in your home around the clock, helping to protect your home even when you can’t be there. Whether you are at work, visiting your in-laws on the other side of town, or on vacation on the other side of the Atlantic, your ADT Monitored Home Security System will be on duty, helping to protect your home.

Two: Monitored security beats unmonitored security, hands down. When it comes to home security, some may choose the approach of purchasing battery-operated door or window alarms commonly seen on the shelves of hardware stores or discount retailers. However, such alarms are unmonitored, meaning that they cannot signal police, fire or other authorities in the event of an emergency. Monitored security systems, by comparison, alert a monitoring center in the event of an emergency. Personnel at the monitoring center can then attempt to contact the residents to verify an emergency, and call on local police, fire, medical or other emergency responders as is necessary.

Three: A wealth of experience comes with the ADT name. ”Always there” is ADT’s motto, and being there for you and for your loved ones is where ADT excels. As the nation’s number one name in home security, ADT has been in the business of delivering technology for more than 130 years, starting with the company’s humble beginnings as a telegraph company. ADT has been in the business of security systems since the earlier part of the 20^th century. And as ADT has grown, the company has kept customer service at the forefront of its business goals. Today, ADT has more than 60,000 employees, all striving to help protect residences and offices around the country. ADT even helps protect the White House, and it can help to protect your house.

Four: ADT offers exceptional value for your home security dollar. ADT may be number one in home security, but being the nation’s leader does not mean it’s number one in cost. You can get a monitored security system free at a value of up to $850, when you enter into a service contract and pay the one-time installation cost of $99. And monitoring from ADT will cost less than the daily cost of a cup of cappuccino. For roughly a dollar per day, you can have a complete security system in your home, monitored around the clock by ADT. Here is what your system will include for that reasonable cost:

• Digital keypad with clearly labeled buttons, status display and one-touch alarm activation feature, plus buttons for manual summoning of police, fire, or medical first responders.
• Keychain remote access that allows one-touch arming or disarming of your system or sending of one-touch notification to the ADT monitoring center, from within your home or up to 50 feet away from your home.
• Three points of protection, sensors that are mounted to doors or windows  to monitor your home for possible unauthorized intrusion.
• Pet-sensitive motion detector that serves as secondary level of defense by sensing for motion inside the home when none should take place.
• High-decibel alarm that, when triggered, sounds a high-pitched tone (of approximately the same level as a police patrol car siren) to alert residents and to serve as a possible warning to would-be intruders.
• Battery backup that maintains power to the system should the AC power fail at your residence.
• Yard sign and window decals to inform potential intruders that ADT is helping to protect your home.
• Professional installation by a trained ADT technician.

Five: ADT provides options to meet the needs of different families. Because different households have different needs, monitored security systems from ADT offer different options, so that you can have a security system tailored to your requirements. ADT offers the following three popular monitoring packages:

All-Inclusive Monitoring: This package provides all of the features noted above, in terms of equipment. Your home is monitored around-the-clock with the aid of a standard landline telephone line. If an emergency occurs, the system sends an encoded signal across the phone line to one of ADT’s nine monitoring centers, and trained ADT personnel quickly contact the appropriate local authorities. This package delivers peace of mind at an affordable cost.

Premium Monitoring I: For just a few dollars more per month than the above package, this package includes all the features of the above package and it includes Two-Way Voice. The popular Two-Way Voice option lets your digital keypad double as a hands-free intercom, allowing residents in your home to communicate with a dispatcher at the ADT Monitoring Center, even when they cannot physically reach the digital keypad.

Premium Monitoring II: In addition to all of the benefits included in the All-Inclusive Monitoring Bundle, this package includes CellGuard, an ADT exclusive that eliminates the requirement of a conventional landline telephone line.  With CellGuard, your security system communicates with the ADT monitoring center by means of built-in cellphone technology. The option not only allows homes with no conventional landline phone service to make use of the outstanding monitoring offered by ADT, it can also be used by homes that do have conventional phone service but desire the added peace of mind of a backup means of monitoring in case the telephone line should fail for any reason.

And your ADT monitored system is easily expandable, with any of the following options. Ask your ADT representative for details:

• Smoke/heat sensors
• Carbon monoxide (CO2 gas) sensor
• Flood sensor
• Overhead garage door sensor
• Glass break sensor
