In Brookline, ADT can give you peace of mind

Brookline residents enjoy big city living, even if they live outside the hectic urban environs. But residents of the most bucolic neighborhoods, thriving suburbs or urbane college campuses still have safety concerns. That’s why so many people in neighborhoods just like yours count on a monitored home security system from ADT.

Getting help from ADT to protect your family and possessions is as easy as calling a representative for a free consultation on your home’s security needs.

Think about all the advantages of having a company provide live monitoring of your alarm system:

• ADT uses a wireless system, so installation does not involved messing drilling or complicated electrical wiring. And because it is wireless, the system is not susceptible to power outages or sabotage.
• You will only get the best from a system that you feel comfortable using. With its digital keypad and simple access code system, your ADT monitored system is easy enough for children to use.
• You want several layers of protection. Contact point sensors alert the system when a monitored entry is forced open or broken. Your ADT home security system comes with three sensors, but you can purchase more to cover other entries that cause you concern. Garage doors, below-ground basement doors and second-story windows on the back of the house are often overlooked security risks. In addition, you get a motion detector for inside the home. It can be programmed around pets, but its infrared technology will alert you to larger intruders.
• Quick response time is essential. ADT has nine Customer Command Centers in the U.S. and Canada that are interconnected, so that when your alarm is triggered, an ADT monitoring associate is there to respond.
• Service is dependable. Consider that ADT has 6 million customers across the country and is the monitoring service used by every one of the nation’s federal courthouses, 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies and half of the country’s 50 largest banks.
• A system needs to fit your home’s needs. Do you have regular visitors such as housekeepers, caterers or pet sitters who need access to your home when you are away? ADT allows you to assign secondary access codes to each. Are you frequently out in the yard or neighborhood? Your remote alarm control, which is small enough to fit on a keychain, can arm or disarm your alarm from 50 feet away, whether you are outside or inside. An optional zone extender can up that to 100 feet.
• Address other safety concerns. ADT lets you incorporate optional upgrades, such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide sensors into the alarm system.

The difference between this and the standard battery-operated units is that with ADT, your detectors are always monitored, even if you are not home and the alarm system is not engaged. The sensors will alert an ADT monitoring center and emergency crews will be dispatched.

Another useful upgrade for Brookline is the low temperature detector. Place them in areas susceptible to extreme cold, such as basements and garages. If temperatures dip to a degree that threatens pipes, the sensors will alert you through your ADT system.

Also consider water sensors that detect water build-up often caused by broken hoses on appliances such as water heaters and washing machines. You will receive an alert before major flooding does thousands of dollars’ worth of damage. And, for your convenience, the wireless, portable sensors can be placed anywhere you want.

Choose a monthly monitoring plan that works for you. With your qualifying basic monthly service contract, you receive an $850 home security system for free when you pay the $99 installation fee.* (See important terms and conditions.)

Your free system includes:

• Wireless keypad for controlling the alarm and entering access codes
• A remote control for the alarm system that works up to 50 feet away
• Three sensors for entries
•  An interior infrared motion detector
• High-decibel alarm
• A manual panic button on the keypad you can use to summon police or fire departments
• ADT protection yard signs and window decals

Optional upgrades to your monthly monitoring plans are:

• Two-way voice communication through an intercom included on your control panel. Bypass the phone and speak directly to an ADT operator in case of an emergency.
• CellGuard® lets ADT monitoring centers communicate with your alarm system through cellular technology if your home no longer has a landline.
• ADT Pulse allows you to set or disarm your alarm from anywhere using your smartphone. So if you’re on the way to a tailgate party at Gillette Stadium and realize you forgot to set the alarm, just a few taps will take care of it. And if your alarm goes off while you are at the game, ADT can send an email or text to your phone alerting you.
