ADT Security Pre-Wiring For Your New Construction Home

Posted by Greg Barker on Thu,Feb 15,2018 @ 12:15 PM

When I work with local customer home builders and architects, they tell me that there are very few security companies that will do security pre-wires. Most security companies today, including almost all ADT Authorized Dealers, install wireless security systems and do not have the expertise or experience necessary to custom design or install a hard wired security system. To get help, schedule a free home security review and our security experts will help you design your custom home security solution.

Wireless vs Hardwired Security System: The Best Solution for Your Home

Posted by Matt Ricca on Mon,May 08,2017 @ 05:24 PM

Technology can be, in a word, confusing.  For as great as technology is and for all the many potential benefits it can offer us, it is very easy to get lost in the details and to feel like you don’t really have a grasp on things.  Data speeds, refresh rates, pixels and megapixels, gigabytes and terabytes… these terms are thrown around casually, and often in ways that may not make it clear exactly what relevance or meaning they may have.   Home security is no exception to this.  It is a hugely technology-based industry, with products that are becoming more and more advanced and with higher levels of functionality than any of their predecessors; this is for the most part a great thing, and it translates to the end user having access to more features and having more control over their home and their security system than ever.

What Should I Think About Before Getting a System

Posted by Taniqua Pino on Thu,Sep 17,2015 @ 02:14 PM

Home Security Systems are pretty straight forward, however, choosing one can make for a challenging decision. One reason might be the pressures. For many, you just had a break in or a neighbor did, maybe you just brought home a little bundle of joy and a heightened sense of vulnerability along with it, or you just moved in and met the pushy neighborhood sales guy. Top that off with some price confusions. One company charges $99 and another charges $999 for systems that look exactly the same.

Choosing your new alarm system can start to feel more like a sledge-hammer to the head. To help you out, here's a list of what you need to think about to make a wise and informed home security decision:

ADT Home Security Motion Sensor

Posted by Greg Barker on Sat,Mar 19,2011 @ 07:22 AM

ADT Monitored Motion Sensor


A Motion Sensor is an essential part of your ADT monitored security system when the system is armed in the away mode. You do not arm the motion sensor when you are home. A motion sensor provides a second level of protection if an intruder is able to get past the perimeter protection without being detected. You should think of a motion sensor as a trap zone. Most burglars are headed for the master bedroom were most people have their jewelry, cash hidden, watches, guns, etc. The motion is setup as a trap zone typically in the hallway leading to the master bedroom in one story or the stairway in a 2 story home.
