More and more of your neighbors and neighbors across America are investing in monitored home security systems. The reality is becoming obvious that burglaries are not just happening in “other” peoples neighborhoods. You’d be hard pressed to find a person that doesn't have a neighbor, a work mate, or a personal friend that has not experienced a break-in of some kind.

Experts estimate that the percentage of homes with security systems will at least double over the next 5 years. Not surprising with many police departments advertising that 87 % of burglaries are considered preventable. Not all the reasons are that obvious though...

Here’s 5 reasons your neighbors are investing in monitored home alarms for their homes:

• Crime statistics are becoming hard to ignore.
• Security systems are more affordable than ever
• People are busier than ever
• Home security as a home automation platform makes Smart home features affordable for the average home.
• You no longer have to choose between "outdated" hardwired system or wireless home security.

With most security companies today, you start with a free equipment package and an installation cost of between $99 - $299 depending upon what kind of system you are getting installed. These packages come with a keypad, some free door sensors, a motion sensor and a key-chain remote.

There seems to be great confusion between the terms myADT.com and my account with ADT. Commonly that's phrased as ADT my account. Let me assure you that neither is an actual term other than with ADT, you do have an account. Now that you can breathe a sigh of relief, we'll take a look at what your ADT account is comprised of
and what myADT.com is and clear up the confusion.

Who provides the absolute BEST customer service?

You do, you sly devil you! Who else knows exactly how to charm your pants off? Who else knows what to say when you are irritated? How often to do you think, "I'd have done it this way! Who forgot to teach that person how to talk to customers?" Right?

So if you are like me (which I know you are,) then what you want to do is pay your bill at midnight. Update your account while watching The Walking Dead and eating Hawaiian pizza with added smoked bacon, chocolate chunk cookies and order another yard sign in your pajamas or commando if you want. And who better to handle all those needs than YOU?

With myADT.com, handle the customer service aspects of your account yourself when it is convenient for you. Skip being asked how your day is going today and being told how happy they are to be helping you update your emergency contact. Seriously... no one is ecstatic to be updating the emergency call list?

It's 3am, you awake to the sound of breaking glass followed by silence.

Even laying still, your heart is doing the Indy 500. Adrenaline stores up, you're ready for flight, you're ready for fight. The adrenaline actually sharpens your hearing.

Then there's nothing. For 10 minutes, there's nothing but a distant dog barking. You still can't get back to sleep, someone's waking up to a broken something, you hope it's not you.

You go secure the house, check the kids, peek outside and make sure everything is okay on your property. There's no rolling back over and drifting into sound sleep tonight. 

Neighborhood gossip alerts you that was John & Marie Poblanski's house.  Some creep broke the glass and grabbed some electronics and a marble elephant. Luckily no one was hurt... this time. It's time to get alarm system. 

You think, "Who do I call?" 

Being the first company to offer home security monitoring to the public leaves you with some big shoes to fill for generations to come. Fortunately those "big shoes" have not been a problem for ADT. Year after year, ADT not only fills the shoes, but has managed to throw down a runway worthy Wing Tip that makes you want to lace up and bust a two-step. For 2016, ADT announces the expansion of Its Smart Security Ecosystem by integrating August Smart Lock and Ring Video Doorbell and ADT Canopy as a Security-as-a-service solution.
