Home Security Monitoring

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the violent crime rate stood at 454.5 (cases per 100,000 population) in 2008, with the homicide rates at 5.4 and property crime rate at 3,213. Since the US government is taking proactive measures to strengthen homeland security and reduce the crime rate, individuals too, must take requisite steps to aid in this endeavor. The best way to ensure a safe home or vehicle is by installing an ADT alarm system.

Advantages of ADT Alarm System

When the ADT alarm system is triggered, a signal is immediately sent to the monitoring center. The center then verifies on the phone whether the alarm was an emergency. In case it is an emergency situation, they notify the concerned local agency about an alarm call at the address.

The alarms are backed by a powerful monitoring system which has several advantages over the conventional systems:

The alarm systems are monitored 24×7
The systems are monitored by UL-approved centers. ADT invests a considerable amount of time and resources in acquiring approval for reducing chances of service disruption.
The monitoring system utilizes the latest technology for keeping a vigil over forced entries, fire outbreaks, flood, carbon monoxide infiltration and similar critical conditions.
The center utilizes efficient computers and safe communications links, which have multiple back-up systems.
Since each of the centers has a virtual presence, if the connection gets interrupted, another center overtakes the work.
The monitoring centers follow an Internal Disaster Management Program, which provides uninterrupted service even in times of crisis, such as during the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew or recovery from the Murrah Federal Building bomb blast.
