Choose ADT, the nation’s leading home security service, to help protect your Boston home

From the high rises on Hanover Street to the student housing around Harvard, Boston’s 165 neighborhoods each take pride in their local flavor and community. And feeling safe in your own home encourages you to be a better neighbor.

Let ADT, the country’s #1 monitored home security service, help you protect your home with a wireless alarm system that works for renters, vacation places, apartments or historic homes. Your home security system should be easy for you to use, but difficult for thieves to breach. It should give you peace of mind, whether you are at home, asleep or away.

ADT has been on the forefront of home security services since the end of World War II, when it took advantage of technology developed during the war to expand from business alarm systems to home systems. As Americans sprawled into suburbs, ADT was there to help protect homes, always working on ways to improve service. Now, with wireless technology, smartphone apps and cellular communications, ADT has developed a system that will work for you right here in Boston.

You lock doors and windows before leaving the house, put lights on timers, make sure the answering machine keeps your phone from ringing too many times – all of the home safety measures advised by Boston’s law enforcement agencies. But why not take an extra step and consider an affordable home security system that is monitored by a live person 365 days a year? In addition, ADT can help with early warning alarms like smoke or carbon monoxide detectors.

How ADT can help keep your Boston home safe

First, when you order from ADT here, you will receive your home security system free. This $850 value is yours free when you pay the $99 installation fee and purchase a qualifying monthly service contract.*

Once you place your order, an expert installer will come to your home and help you get the most from your system, advising you on places for sensors and detectors, and giving you a tutorial on how to use the system. Since the system is wireless, there won’t be any messy drilling or complicated wiring involved, giving you more leeway on where you would like your system to go.

Your home security system includes:

A keypad that lets you arm or disarm the alarm with your access code. You can enter secondary codes for children, housekeepers or pet sitters who will be coming and going when you are not home.

Three sensors for entries. Place them on doors or windows. You can purchase more sensors to protect other entries that might pose a security risk.

An infrared motion detector for the interior of your home. Don’t worry about false alarms set off by your pets. The sensor can be programmed around them, but still pick up on intruders.

A remote control for the system. It easily fits on a keychain or in your pocket. Keep it by your bed at night or take it with you when you go out for a run.  It will turn the alarm on or off from 50 feet away and works through walls.

Manual button for one-touch emergency calls to the police or fire department.

High-volume alarm that will help deter break-ins.

A Quality Service Plan guaranteeing parts and service.

Battery backup in case power outages.

Yard signs and window decals showing your home is cover by ADT’s services.

Additional upgrades are available on monthly service plans as well:

• Add two-way voice communication. Your control panel will include an intercom letting you talk directly to an ADT monitoring associate instead of having to pick up the phone. Get instant response by pressing the intercom button.
• CellGuard® permits your alarm system to connect with one of ADT’s nine Customer Monitoring Centers through cellular technology. The alternative you need if you no longer have a landline.
• ADT Pulse is the best choice for anyone who stays on the go – or has occasional moments of forgetfulness. If you’ve already jumped on the T to head to work and forgot to turn off the alarm for the new pet sitter – no problem. An app on your smartphone lets you control your home’s alarm system.  And with ADT Pulse, you receive a text or email to your phone or computer from ADT if your alarm goes off.
• Additional protection that works with your home security system includes carbon monoxide detectors and smoke and fire detectors. Freeze and water detectors will trigger the alarm in case of burst pipes or hoses or flooding.
