Home automation turns your home into a smart home that you control from within or away. For example: With a smart home you can turn off all your lights from your cell phone – or receive real-time video footage of your home on demand.

Command – The heart of your home

Managing your home from the palm of your hand! You can turn on your system with Amazon Alexa. Have you forgotten to arm your system? Geo fencing will send you a phone alert to remind you. While you're there, lock your doors, lower the thermostat, and turn off lights. 

Life Safety devices

Once a monitored smoke or heat detector is triggered, our monitoring centers alert the local fire department, and ADT calls or sends a text  to your phone.  If no one is home, damage can be minimized and pets alone at home can be spared.

Cameras and Video Doorbells

You can check your home security cameras with the ADT app on your phone. Deter crime before it happens – prevent those porch pirates from snatching your just-delivered package! Are your pets behaving, and staying off the couch?

Energy savings and door locks

Who doesn’t like savings? Now you can manage energy consumption to help lower utility bills by simply scheduling or remotely adjusting the thermostat temperature. Or, unlock your door from your cell phone for your kids – or program your locks to unlock at certain times of the day to let in your housekeeper.
