The standard package

ADT’s number one goal is helping to keep you safe.  Every ADT bundles comes with a digital keypad that gives you one-touch access to those who can help.  It is also easy to use so everyone in your family will be able to operate your system. 

Three easy steps for a fast response

1. ADT uses electricity and landlines to keep your home monitored.  If a sensor is triggered by something in your house, a signal will be sent directly to one of ADT’s nine monitoring centers. 
2. Once a signal is received, an ADT dispatcher will call your home.  If the predetermined security code is not recited correctly or if no one picks up, the agent will notify the authorities in Maine.
3. The authorities will then drive to your house and assess the situation.

ADT responds to over 50,000 crimes in progress a year.  The nine monitoring centers receive over 29 million calls a year – that’s 93,000 alarms a day, over 8,000 customer contacts an hour, and 3.3 customers transactions every second.  The centers are also open all day every day to help keep you safe.  ADT doesn’t sleep so that you can sleep soundly. 

ADT vs. the competition

ADT has the longest history in the business.  ADT started in the 1880s and began protecting homes during World War II.  ADT not only helps protect homes, but federal and commercial buildings as well:

• 90 percent of the Fortune 500 companies
• Half of the country’s most prominent regional and national banks
• 19 of the nation’s 30 busiest airports, and 72 of the nation’s mid-to-large sized airports
• Every single federal courthouse across the nation

ADT’s nine monitoring centers ensure that your home will receive prompt service when you need it most.  If one center loses power, the others centers can handle an increase in call volume.

Most of ADT’s competitors have only one center and sometimes it’s not even in the United States.  Furthermore, the companies that run those centers aren’t always security companies.

Some of ADT’s competitors do not offer installation services, leaving you to do it yourself.  Self-installation can be more stressful than it’s worth. ADT is there to help you feel safe in your home, not frustrated and confused.
