ADT is the most widely trusted security company in the United States. They provide over 6 million residential security systems, and serve almost all of the Fortune 500 companies. Since their beginning in 1874, ADT has grown to be the leading security company in the country.

One aspect that sets ADT apart is their multiple locations. Across the United States, there are five active monitoring sites that ADT operates. Other companies only have one, or maybe two that are not linked. In contrast, ADT has five integrated locations. Thus, if by chance one of these locations goes down for an unforeseen reason, there are four backup locations that will continue to provide uninterrupted service. ADT is monitoring homes and businesses 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are always vigilant.

Bringing this level of protection into a home is a simple process, which involves three steps. First, a package must be selected. After this, a plan is needed. After these are established, an installation will set everything in place.

Package

The first step to installing an ADT security system is selecting an appropriate package. In addition to the decals that come with any package, there are a variety of different monitors available. This way, the system can be customized to meet any home’s needs. The types of monitors include door and window monitors, as well as specialized ones. There are sound monitors that check for breaking glass. Motion sensors, which are not activated by pets, are also available.

Most systems come with a battery backup. Just as ADT has backup systems for their central locations, the battery provides a backup for when the power goes out. This battery can power both the loud indoor alarm, as well as the phone line signal.

Plan

Once the package is chosen, a plan must be selected. There are three plans. All of these provide safety and security, at all times. The most basic monitors the home for intrusion, and will send out a distress signal in the event of an invasion. A slightly superior plan provides these basic functions, along with two-way voice communication with ADT’s monitoring centers.

The most popular plan includes cell technology. With this plan, the alarm can send a signal over cell phone towers. With the more basic plans, the signal is sent over a phone line. Burglars know this, and may attempt to cut that line. However, with this plan, the alarm can still reach ADT and emergency services over a cell phone connection.

Installation

For guidance in selecting either of these, or to have a system installed by an ADT authorized dealer, contact Security Concepts at www.homesecurityconcepts.com today.

We can try to protect our homes by using many different methods such as better locks on doors and windows. Other things we can do is put in better lighting around the perimeter of our homes.

All of these things are a great way of making it hard for a burglar to target your home.

ADT monitoring starting at $19.99 per month has become such a competitive rate because of the immense difference between other central stations and ADT monitoring centers. When people call us and say that they found someone that will monitor their system for less, they really don’t know that they are not comparing apples to apples. Its as if you went to a BMW car dealership and say that you found a better price at the KIA dealership. Even though KIA may have great vehicles, the level of quality in engineering and performance is incomparable. The same is true when it comes to central station monitoring.

A few years ago South Florida experienced one of the worst hurricane disasters to ever hit the United States that was named hurricane Andrew. This hurricane ended up being a category 5 storm which destroyed everything from cutler ridge to homestead Florida. However this storm did not affect in any way everything north of Hialeah and for residents north if Hialeah it was business as usual. The interesting thing about this is that during that time our company was using a local central station right here in Miami. The problem with that was that all of the employees of the central station including the owner closed up the place and went home. The owner of the central station notified all of its dealers that everyone was going home and if any lawsuits arose out of this situation the insurance companies would have to handle it. Needless to say we had irate customers calling us threatening to cancel their monitoring service because it was inexcusable to just shut the place down and leave every business and homeowner wide open for a burglary or worse. The reason we share this story is because if ADT is ever faced with such a situation all they would have to do is hit a switch and all of their monitored accounts switch over to another one of their stations. In fact ADT is the only company that has a total of six central stations which at a turn of a switch can takeover the monitoring of all the account is the case of a national emergency. So you see when compared to other central stations which may offer home alarm monitoring at a cheaper rate you are really not comparing apples to apples. Only ADT offers such a guarantee.

There is not bigger name in home security than ADT. ADT is the number one world wide security systems provider. Aside from being the most secure central station in north America it is also the most technologically prepared. One of the main things to consider when choosing a central station is whether it is a Underwriters Listed Approved central station. What this means is that UL performs an annual inspection  to assure that the correct amount of back up phone lines are present to properly provide a reasonable response time to burglar alarm activations. Aside from that the also ensure that the central station has enough operators on staff to handle the calls that come in. They then make sure that back up power generators are in place to ensure that if power goes out for a prolonged period of time that the customers systems continue to be monitored.

All of this and more is what ADT offers its customers. So when shopping around for a central station to monitor your house just remember to compare apples to apples because a low monthly price is no good to you if when seconds really count you cant count on your monitoring station.

Door and window monitors as well as sound and motion sensors are used in combination to protect your home from invaders. These systems are designed to alert the monitoring company and authorities before a burglar can do serious damage to your home and your valuables.

Some home owners work closely with their monitoring company to include a camera system. These systems, which typically include a combination of hidden and visible cameras, are monitored, either by a monitoring company or by the home owner themselves to determine if an intruder has broken in. The saved footage can be invaluable when prosecuting a criminal charged with breaking into your home.

Every home owner should include smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring as well.

Take a walk around your vacation home. You are likely to discover a wealth of valuable items that home invaders would be more than happy to take off your hands.

All that is required is one of the unique vacation home monitoring systems that are available today.

Like traditional home security systems, vacation home monitoring systems are based on several different types of sensors. Units placed at the doors and windows will alert your alarm monitoring company when tripped by a burglar seeking illegal entrance to your home. To back this system up, motion and sound detectors are employed. Placed strategically throughout a vacation home, these additional systems will trip whenever there is motion or sound in your home.

Vacation home monitoring systems rely heavily on the experience of your monitoring company. It is of critical importance that you choose a company that has experience in vacation home monitoring. Because of the isolated nature of some vacation homes and how long they sit empty, there are additional challenges to monitoring them. Be sure to select a company that is willing to do a walkthrough with you to identify possible weak areas in your home security.

One of the additional features offered by many vacation home monitoring systems is the ability to monitor for fires. Whether your vacation home is isolated or not, many times a fire can be devastating because it is not detected in time. If your vacation home sits amidst a large group of vacation homes, a fire could rage for hours, completely destroying your home before it is ever detected. By allowing your monitoring company to install the equipment needed to monitor for fire as well, you can have the peace of mind of knowing that if there is a fire, help will arrive in time.
