Take home security in Gaithersburg a step further with ADT

Whether you live in a historic row house in Center City or the suburbs of Gaithersburg, MD, you know that home security these days means more than just locking the door behind you. Consider joining millions of Americans who have chosen ADT to help protect their family and possessions with monitored home security.

With its lively college scene, cultural events and proximity to the metro area’s boundless activities, Gaithersburg is a city on the go. And while you are out enjoying the scene, or simply enduring a long commute, get peace of mind about your home with ADT’s experience and technology.

Why you should consider ADT to protect your Gaithersburg home

ADT has been in the security business for more than 130 years, beginning as a telegraph company. It evolved into a commercial security business connecting night watchmen to police departments through call boxes. With the housing boom following WW II, ADT also expanded into home security and through the years has remained at the front of the monitored home security business.

Today, you can take advantage of ADT’s experience and resources when you order monthly security monitoring for your home. When you choose ADT, you will receive your home security system, valued at $850, for free, with a $99 installation fee and a qualifying monthly contract.*

With your basic monthly home monitoring you receive a wireless system with a battery backup. A wireless alarm system will continue to work during outages or if intruders cut the power to your house. This feature also ensures that optional upgrades such as smoke or carbon monoxide detectors will continue to work with no electricity.

Every home security system includes:

• A wireless keypad where you enter access codes to set or disarm the alarm. You can also set secondary codes for others who might need access to the alarm, such as babysitters or caterers.
• A convenient remote control for the alarm system. Smaller than a credit card, this remote fits on a keychain and works from 50 feet away. If you return home from a shopping trip loaded down with bags, just click to turn off the alarm.
• Three sensors for entries. Second-story windows and hidden basement doors are likely entry points for thieves. Your certified ADT installer can advise you on the best entries to place sensors. You have the option to purchase more sensors as needed. Even when the alarm system is disengaged, the sensors will chime when the monitored entry is opened – a great way to keep track of your children’s comings and goings.
• Motion detector. This infrared sensor offers an extra level of protection for the interior of your home and can be programmed to work around your pets to prevent false alarms.
• ADT signs and decals. Announcing that your home is monitored for security could deter would-be burglars.
• High decibel alarm. With its wireless technology, the alarm will sound even if potential burglars cut wires to the house.
• Manual panic button. Push the button on the control panel to summon police or fire departments.

You can also add options to your monthly service:

Two-way voice

Your control panel includes an intercom, letting you speak directly to an ADT monitoring agent. If your alarm goes off and you can’t get to the phone, you can communicate from 75 feet away.

CellGuard®

In Gaithersburg, like many communities across the nation, more and more households are ditching their landlines, the traditional way that alarm systems communicate with emergency response. But with CellGuard®, your alarm system will transmit signals via cell towers to ADT, so you don’t need a landline to get ADT monitoring.

ADT Pulse

Imagine you’re riding down I-70 or Muddy Branch Road and you realize you forgot to set the alarm. Don’t make a U-turn, just pull out your smart phone, and with ADT Pulse you can control your home alarm system. And, if your alarm is triggered, ADT can send an e-mail or text to your phone, laptop or tablet.

You can also purchase other sensors that work through your home security system, including carbon monoxide, flood, low temperature and smoke and heat detectors.
