ADT Monitored Home Security - More than just a burglar alarm

With monitored ADT Alarm Systems, you're connected 24 hours a day the ADT fully manned Alarm Receiving Centre via your phone line. What's more, you're not just protected from burglars. It can help you obtain emergency support from the Police, Fire Brigade, or your keyholders.

Traditional Burglar Alarms - the bad news...

* Most people ignore ringing bells.
* Fewer than 1 in 10 bell-only activation's are reported to the police.
* Under official police policy, most police forces will no longer respond to a ringing bell unless there is some additional evidence that an offence is in progress.

ADT Alarm Systems - the good news...

The ADT Alarm Receiving Centre will know that your alarm has been activated and will inform the Police
The Police will respond to monitored alarms that qualify for police response

Online Fault Rectification

With a bell-only alarm if a fault develops an Engineer will most likely need to attend the site. The homeowner will then have to wait for an Engineer to arrive.

With a monitored alarm using ADT Alarm Systems' latest RESOLVE technology, we can send an "electronic tool box" down the monitoring line, to carry out fault diagnostics and rectifications. More than 65% of faults can be resolved without the need for an Engineer to attend, so saving the homeowner the time of waiting for the Engineer.

False Alarm Management

With monitored ADT Alarm Systems you have an internal siren to deter the burglar, but you do not necessarily need a loud external siren because you are not relying on neighbours/passers by to come to your aid (they very rarely will - most neighbours get fed up with ringing burglar alarms).

If you are away for a period of time (e.g. on holiday) and there is a problem with your alarm which requires entry to the house to rectify we can alert a keyholder.

With a bell-only system a fault may persist for the whole time you are away, and no one may be available to attend to the problem.

Why choose monitored ADT Alarm Systems

Immediate Response for Monitored Personal Attack Button

A 'Personal Attack' signal from a monitored alarm will be immediately policed. With a bell-only alarm you are relying on a neighbour coming to your aid.

Duress Signal

With monitored ADT Alarm Systems you can send a secret code signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre if you are forced to turn off the alarm. With a bell-only alarm the bell would be stopped and no one would be alerted to help you.

Fire Safety

Most battery operated smoke detectors are not properly maintained and a conventional stand-alone smoke detector may not activate fast enough to ensure the occupants are woken up in time.

ADT Alarm Systems' unique Carbon Monoxide Fire Detector detects lethal smouldering fires much quicker than conventional smoke detectors. When linked in to your monitored alarm system, we can call the Fire Brigade if you are incapacitated. The Fire monitoring part of the alarm system stays 'set' even if the main intruder alarm is not 'set'.

Fire Protection

If you are not in the house and fire breaks out, you are relying on a neighbour/passer by to call the Fire Brigade.

With ADT Alarm Systems monitoring the monitored Fire Detector can rapidly detect the fire, and our Alarm Receiving Centre will quickly call the Fire Brigade.

Emergency Help

If you require emergency medical assistance you can press an 'Assistance' button on your panel and we will call you to find out what is wrong. We can then phone a keyholder to assist you, or in some areas we may be able to contact the Ambulance Service directly, (although we cannot guarantee that the Ambulance Service will accept the call).
