ADT Security Pro - Home Security Blog

It seems with all the various options for wireless security systems these days, customers are getting confused. Do I need a home phone line to have a home alarm system installed? Does wireless mean cellular or is it the opposite of a hard wired security system? What about security systems that use the Internet to communicate to your mobile devices? Does a cellular security system use my cellular phone to communicate, the WiFi or what?

It is easy to understand that if you get home automation or video monitoring that the ADT Command makes sense, but what are the benefits of ADT Control if you just get the security system features only?

We installed an ADT Pulse security system in our training room to use for demonstrations. It is complete with the new ADT Pulse touchscreen control center, new outdoor camera, ADT Pulse thermostat and multiple lamp modules. It has been exciting to experiment with the ADT Pulse security system and to see how it works. From the iPhone, iPad and Android apps to using the system with the with the touchscreen control center, this system rocks. ADT is once again leading the way in home security and setting the stardard for the security industry.

When it comes to our homes and families, we all want to feel secure and have "peace of mind". With the rapid rise in crime in our communities as well as the risk of fire and medical emergencies, the need for protecting what matter's most is becoming even more crucial. That is why an ADT monitored home security system is such a valued commodity in today's communities.

Recently, there has been an increase in home invasion burglaries. This is a crime that involves forced entry into the home where the occupants are at home at the time of the crime. This could happen anytime, during the daytime or at night when the occupants are sleeping. According to the F.B.I., one in five homes in America will experience a home invasion or break-in. 

The burglar could have been casing the wealthy or elderly, looking to steal property or drugs or maybe even having some type of vendetta to resolve. Whatever the reason may be, it is not fun and could cause physical intimidation or worse, the use of weapons to cause fatal harm to your loved ones. Having an ADT monitored home security system installed will help prevent this type of crime from happening. Setting your system to STAY MODE will protect you while you are at home anytime of day. 

Home Invasion Burglaries While You Are Sleeping

There are two types of security systems installed. Most home security systems installed today are wireless security systems and a much smaller percent of installations are hard wired systems typically installed in homes that have been pre-wired for a security system. Most hard wired security systems are "hybrid" which means they can communicate with wireless security devices as well.
