Home Security Cameras Complement Your Home Alarm

Posted by Greg Barker on Wed,Feb 28,2018 @ 01:22 PM

We have installed over 70,000 ADT monitored security systems and now more than ever our customers are wanting security cameras. For some of our customers, the ADT Pulse Cameras that are part of the ADT monitored security system meet their needs with small 30 second video clips of triggered events and an ability to view live video. However, more and more people want 24/7 ability to record all that is happening and desire superior quality home security cameras and images.

Should You Get WiFi Security Cameras? Are They Reliable?

Posted by Greg Barker on Mon,Feb 19,2018 @ 09:24 PM

More and more homeowners are interested in getting security cameras for their home.

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.

ADT is Your Best Choice for Home Security System Monitoring

Posted by Greg Barker on Mon,Feb 12,2018 @ 03:00 PM

 

I recently attend ADT's Dealer convention and the most impressive part of the event was learning about the transformation ADT has made in customer service. As an ADT Dealer, over the years the customer service of ADT as a national company has been weak at times. Although the the monitoring service centers for alarm events have always been quick to respond, getting a customer service representative to help you for billing or a service call often took way to long. We had to tell our Security Pro customers to call us if the ADT Corporate is not giving them the service they deserve.

Four Things to NOT do when your ADT Home Security System sounds.

Posted by Taniqua Pino on Thu,Aug 24,2017 @ 09:39 PM

Now that you've installed your ADT Home Security System, it's tempting to feel like you're Chuck Norris. No one will mess with you now and you can check security completely off the list... right? 

Well yes and no. Yes, you invested in a great deterrent and in the event that someone does still try to come in, a VERY loud siren will sound as a further deterent. 

The most brazen intruder will pause at the noise and realize that authorities are now being dispatched. And... after a bit, Norma, the neighbor whose nose is always way too far into your business, will have her nose in Berry The Burglar's business she'll call detective "Gets-his-man" with a license plate number, the color of his socks and a description of just how far below his bum his pants are. (Norma, we all love you when there's trouble. Keep up the good work!)

While my personal story warrants a good chuckle, I don't think my response is a-typical of what other might do. So read on, feel free to laugh heartily at me, and get a mental snapshot of what NOT to do when your alarm sounds at your home.

If you don't make my mistakes, and fully utilize the features of an alarm in a real emergency, it will help keep you and your loved ones safer.

 

How did I even figure out what NOT to do when the Alarm System Sounded?

 Well, what are spouses for if not to help us see how poorly we are capable of responding in different scenarios...
