Paving the way with cutting-edge technology

Cutting-edge technology comes standard in any all-inclusive ADT home security package.  With the basic package from ADT, your Champaign home receives comprehensive protection from countless common threats against your home.

These standard features include:

Digital keypad: When your installation technician comes and installs your new ADT Monitored Home Security System, they will also install your wireless keypad. Each piece of your system communicates wirelessly with the keypad in order to trigger the alarm and communicate with ADT. You also have manual access to police, fire and medical personnel directly from your keypad in the event of an emergency. If you choose to upgrade your package to include two-way voice, this feature will also use the keypad. Within the keypad is a microphone that can pick-up on average a normal person’s talking voice from around 75 feet away.

3 points of protection: When your system is armed, entry through any of these points will sound your alarm and notify ADT. Even when your system is not armed, they still boast great uses. You can set a voice alert form your system to notify you when someone is entering through one of those entries and which entry is being use, for example your system might say “kitchen door open”.

Infrared motion detectors: In the event that an intruder was to access your home without triggering the alarm, these interior sensors detect motion 50 feet in any direction. If you have pets that roam the house, you can set your system to be sensitive to your animals presence based on their weight. If your pet happens to be really large, you can even turn your sensors to only pick up motion above a certain height. In any event, when the system is armed and the sensors detect verifiable motion they will trigger the alarm and contact ADT. If you would like more than one for the interior of your home, you can upgrade to additional sensors.

Keychain remote: From up to 50 feet from your keypad within your home you can control your system with this small portable remote control. It is small enough to fit in your pocket if you want to keep it on your person or you can store it in a room further from the wireless keypad. From your remote, you have four programmable options to control:

• Arm (with motion detector, for when you are leaving the home)
• Disarm (Disarm the entire system)
• Arm (without motion detector for when you are in inside the home)
• Panic (trigger the alarm and call police, fire or medical)

High-decibel alarm: The standard alarm is very loud, on average the same volume as a police siren. This ensures that when your alarm is sounded if you are in the home or around it, you will be notified. In the event that you aren’t at home, the alarm is loud enough to alert your neighbors nearby to the disturbance so they too can be aware.

Backup battery: Standard with your system you have a backup battery that protects your system in the event that you lose power. When your home loses power, your ADT Monitored Home Security System can run off of the backup battery for hours to keep you and your family protected.

ADT security yard sign and window decals: These are visible reminders to any potential intruders that your home is protected by an ADT Monitored Home Security System.

24 hours a day, always there

The advanced technology and upgradeable features available with your ADT Monitored Home Security System are just the beginning. On top of the equipment itself, each home is monitored by 9 strategically located command centers throughout North America. If for some reason your alarm goes off or you contact ADT during a heavy volume call time for one center, another center can take your call instantly.

In the event that your alarm is sounded, the ADT security expert handling your situation will immediately attempt to reach the homeowner.  If for some reason the homeowner cannot be reached or the person answering the phone cannot verify themselves as the homeowner, ADT will instantly dispatch your local authorities to further assess the situation on site.
