About ADT
ADT is known as the gold standard in residential security. For over 145 years, ADT has pioneered trusted technology and services in home security. ADT developed the first automated burglar system in the 1940s and the first automated fire alarm system around the same time. The biggest advancement in the security industry, however, may have been when ADT built the central monitoring stations in the 1930s. This made it possible for homeowners to always have a live specialist monitoring their alarms, 24/7, every day of the year.
The same dedication to customer-focused, best-in-class security can still be found in ADT today. Built upon leading-edge technology, ADT monitoring ensures that your security system is backed by a live person who will send out emergency services at once to your home if needed. Other products, including home automation, can now be synced with your residential security system and powered by your ADT Command touchscreen. ADT even gives you access to your security alarms, video cameras, and smart home components with your devices with the easy-to-use ADT Control app.
