ADT Home Security

ADT Home Security serves a relatively broad range of home and business needs. In fact, ADT Home Security has specific services for small businesses and could prove a good choice for someone with a home office. However, it pays to read the ADT Home Security contract details with special care and not depend on anything the local installer or the salesperson has to say. There have been numerous consumer complaints about ADT Home Security which you can find on the consumer affairs website.

When comparing all the packages ADT Home Security offers, you'll want to not some interesting facts about them. For example, the motion detector, interior siren, and manual police/fire emergency buttons are all part of the Safewatch EZ Touchpad. This fact means that your motion detector could be nearly useless depending on where you install it.

In addition, you can't place the internal siren so you can hear it throughout the house, making this feature potentially useless as well. The manual police/fire emergency buttons are a phenomenal idea because pressing them sends a message to the necessary party without alerting an intruder, but, again, you can't choose where to place this button, making it potentially useless when you need it. These are some of the things you should know before deciding on an ADT Home Security system.

ADT Home Security provides one of the larges lists of add-on features of any security vendor on the market today. Look at the list provided by the Customize link and you'll see a list of options for a particular package. You can include everything from a barrier bar to an overhead door sensor that helps protect your garage door. Unlike some other large security companies, ADT Home Security offers separate audio glass break detectors and shock detectors so you can choose the level of glass break detection that you prefer. As the package price increases, so does the number of add-ons you can get. By the time you get to the Family Package, you can get flood detectors and both medical and panic pendants.

ADT Home Security's Premier Package is one of the best options for the homeowner with a home office. It not only includes a number of additional sensors, but the package options also include various cameras. You can even set up an intercom system with video so you can see whom you're talking with and ensure that they're actually safe. Of course, the Premier Package comes at a premium price as do all of the options. ADT Home Security is the industry leader so it's worth a look but remember you have other choices.
