About ADT
ADT considered the gold standard in home security. For almost 150 years, ADT has built new equipment and services in residential security. The company developed the first automated burglar alarm in the 1940s and the first automated fire alarm shortly after that. The greatest innovation in the security industry, however, may have been when ADT designed the central monitoring stations in the 1930s. This made it possible for homeowners to continuously have a live person watching over their home alarms, 24/7, every day of the year.
The same dedication to customer-centric, best-in-class security can still be found in today’s ADT. Built on current technology, ADT monitoring ensures that your security system is backed by a live person who will dispatch emergency departments quickly to your home if needed. Other offerings, such as home automation, can be paired with your security system and managed through your ADT Command touchpad. ADT also provides you with access to your security alarms, video cameras, and smart home components with your phones and devices with the comprehensive ADT Control app.
