The benefits of an ADT Wireless Security System are many and like most things, alarm systems have done their fair share of evolving. You might be surprised at some of the latest features. Most of you know that a GSM alarm does not require land line phone service and that wireless systems do not require any demolition to install, but check out these 5 benefits that you might not be aware of.

The options to control your ADT Pulse monitored security system make it very convenient to use and control. With life on the go, it is great to be able to control your security system remotely and get text or emails of alarm emergency events. It is also nice to have multiple ways to manage you ADT Pulse system when you are at home.

ADT Pulse is by far the most popular security monitoring service of our customers here in California. Eighty percent of homeowners who get ADT Pulse go with Level I which is the interactive remote security services. However, more and more customers are starting to move up to Level II (cameras with video monitoring) and Level III with home automation. Customers that get ADT Pulse Level III with home automation have the option to add lighting control, thermostat control and automated deadbolt door locks to the interactive remote security features and ADT Pulse camera options.

Prevention is the best protection so adding an extra layer of perimeter safeguarding by installing an ADT glass break sensor to your existing security system may not be a bad idea. This enhancement offers better peace of mind knowing that there is protection against home invasions. Protecting doors and windows from intrusion with window/door sensors are not enough because the sensor will only activate if the window or door is opened. If an unwanted intruder breaks or shatters a door or window, they can climb through and freely walk about your home or business without setting the alarm off.

If you have motion detectors placed strategically inside your home or business, the intruder would eventually trigger the alarm once inside. The glass break sensor will set the alarm off before the intruder gets inside! If you don't already have an existing ADT monitored security system, you may want to include an ADT glassbreak sensor with your order.
