About ADT
ADT is known as one of the most trusted names in residential security. For almost 150 years, ADT has built trusted technology and services in residential security. ADT created the first automated burglar alarm in the 1940s and the first automated fire alarm system around the same time. The biggest innovation in the security industry, however, may have been when ADT launched the central monitoring stations in the 1930s. This guaranteed that customers would continuously have a live person backing up their home alarms, 24/7, every day of the year.
The same principle of customer-centric security can still be found in today’s ADT. Built on leading-edge technology, ADT monitoring ensures that your security system is backed by a security specialist who will send out emergency personnel quickly to your home if necessary. Other services, such as home automation, can now be paired with your residential security system and managed by your ADT Command wireless touchpad. ADT also provides you with access to your alarms, video surveillance, and smart home with your mobile devices with the comprehensive ADT Control application.
