Do the smart thing and let ADT help protect your Columbia home

Over half of the residents of Columbia, Missouri, have a bachelor’s degree and a quarter of those residents have a graduate degree. These statistics make Columbia the 13^th most highly educated city in the United States. Do that smart thing and protect you home with ADT Monitored Home Security Systems. 

Why ADT is the smart way to go

ADT is the most experience company in the security business. ADT opened its doors over 130 years ago and has been helping to protect homes since the 1910s. In the past hundred years, ADT has accumulated over 6 million customers. These customers include domestic homes as well as government and commercial buildings such as:

• 450 members of the Fortune 500
• 25 of the national and regional bank holding companies
• All of the nation’s federal courthouses
• 36 of the world’s largest retailers located in the United States
• 19 of the country’s 30 busiest airports and 72 of the nation’s mid and large-size airports

Due to their vast customer base, ADT has a high volume of alarm signals each day, about 93,000. To cope with this they have established nine sophisticated, interconnected monitoring centers that are strategically placed around the United States and Canada. Where most of ADT competitors have only one monitoring center, which may not be run by an actual security company, ADT has nine centers to ensure that you get the individual care that you deserve. 

How it works

ADT sends a licensed professional to install the system for you. You won’t have to worry about a complicated self-installation that could leave you wondering whether your system works correctly or not. The technician will even stick around to give you a tutorial on how the system works before answering any questions you may have regarding the system.

Once the equipment is set up, ADT will be ready to receive any signal that your system sends. Your system will only signal ADT in the case of an emergency situation. If an emergency does occur, three things will happen:

1. A signal will be sent to one of the nine customer monitoring centers.
2. A certified ADT agent will call your home. If the pre-determined security code is not answered correctly, or if the phone is not answered at all, then the agent will dispatch the Columbia authorities.
3. The authorities will arrive at your house to assess any situation on your property.

This system is extremely efficient and effective. In 2004, ADT responded to over 50,000 crimes in progress. ADT is constantly communicating with 38,000 law enforcement, fire and medical agencies across the country.

State-of-the-art equipment keeps your home online and connected to ADT 24/7

ADT is open all day, every day, so that you will constantly feel protected. They also supply every customer with top-of-the-line technology to ensure that each monitoring system works every time you need it. The equipment that comes standard with any ADT package includes:

• Digital keypad: This keypad serves as your security system’s control panel. Ask your technician to install one-touch when he is setting up your system. One-touch allows you to contact the Columbia fire, police or medical agencies by pressing a single button.
• Keychain remote access: This keychain is a convenient way to carry your control panel in your pocket or purse. With this device, you can arm or disarm your system from up to fifty feet away from your control panel. 
• Infrared interior motion detector: The motion detector gives you and your loved ones another layer of protection. You can even program it to ignore your roaming house cat or dog.
• Three points of protection: These three devices can be attached to any three exterior doors or windows. This allows you to easily expand your area of protection. When the system is disarmed, the system will chirp every time a protected door or window is opened.
• High-decibel alarm siren: This siren is so loud that it is bound to help to deter intruders from entering. Once this alarm goes off you will know that someone was trying to get into your home no matter what time of day it is.
• Battery backup: The battery backup is a way to make sure your system works even when you do not have electricity. ADT wants to make sure you feel safe even when you seem the most vulnerable.

In addition to all this, ADT provides a yard sign and window decals to place around the exterior of your home. These are your first line of defense, letting potential intruders know that you have the nation’s #1 security monitoring system helping protect you and your family.
