Frederick residents rely on ADT for home security service

In Frederick, on-the-go families, harried college students and commuters with extended hours all have something in common – they are often away from home more than they would like. But they could also have something else in common if they use ADT monitored home security – peace of mind.

Keeping your family and possessions safe from break-ins shouldn’t be fraught with hassles, complications or worry that your security system won’t fit your needs.

ADT has years of experience in the security business and became one of the leading home security monitoring services soon after World War II, as American families strove to find ways to keep their new homes safe.  Residents of Frederick, from Hood College to Libertytown, can benefit from ADT’s well-established network of communications and wireless technology.

When you choose ADT, you receive your home security system for free. That’s a system worth $850, which you receive when you pay the $99 installation fee and sign a qualifying monthly service contract.*

Your home security system includes:

• Wireless keypad to set alarms, program access and secondary access codes
• A small remote control for your alarm system that works up to 50 feet away
• An infrared motion detector as a second level of protection from intruders
• Three sensors for windows or doors that cause the greatest security concerns
• A high-decibel alarm
• A manual button that lets you summon police or fire departments
• Battery backup in case of power failures
• ADT signs for the yard and decals for windows to announce your home is protected

This equipment and live monitoring comes with your basic monthly home monitoring service. If your alarm sounds, an ADT monitor calls your landline. If no one answers, or the person who does answer does not know the correct access code, emergency personnel will be dispatched to your home.

ADT also offers upgrades to your monthly service:

Two-way voice is often the choice of seniors. A control panel with an intercom is installed, letting you speak directly to an ADT monitor in case you can’t get to the phone in a medical emergency. The intercom will let you talk to the ADT operator from up to 75 feet away.

CellGuard® bypasses the need for a landline. The security system communicates with ADT monitoring centers via cell towers rather than a landline.

ADT Pulse takes cellphone communications one step further. If you’ve already hit Frederick’s Opossumtown Pike and realize you forgot to turn the alarm off for the pest control guy, just pull out your smartphone and with a few taps, disarm the system. And with ADT Pulse, you can receive a text or email to your phone or laptop from ADT if your home alarm is triggered.

ADT also offers other ways to keep your Frederick home safe with optional additions of other sensors:

Heat and smoke: Why try to maintain a separate smoke alarm when you can include the service in your wireless system? No more worrying about that annoying beeping from your smoke alarm when you forget to change the battery.

Carbon monoxide: Protect your family from poisoning from this odorless, colorless gas with an ADT sensor that will continue to work during power outages.

Water sensors:  Sensors placed in low-lying areas or near water heaters, dishwashers or washing machines will let you know if Mother Nature or your own faulty appliances have created flooding in your home.

Low temperature sensors:  Sure, Frederick has mild winters, but it occasionally gets cold enough for pipes to freeze.  Avoid the resulting damage from broken pipes.

Deciding to use a monitored security system is a big decision. But consider the benefits of choosing ADT:

• Most insurance companies will offer a discount on renter’s or homeowner’s insurance when you install a monitored security system.
• Monthly plans are affordable, starting at about $1 a day.
• You receive expert customer service from a home security consultant so you can discuss how to make an alarm system work best for your family’s comings and goings.
• You get peace of mind, because ADT’s service allows you to protect your family and pets while you are in the house, out in the yard, asleep or away.
• Nine Customer Monitoring Centers offer live monitoring of home security and quick response 24/7.
