ADT has a number of products to meet just about any type of security need for home security, small businesses, and large corporations. The first major decision to make when selecting a security system is whether you want a hardwired or wireless system, both of which are available from ADT. Wired systems are often integrated into the structure of a home and communicate with the keypad via a network of cables; by contrast, wireless systems often require less extensive installation. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of system.
Once you have decided on a type of system, the next step is to select additional components to the system. Most will come with a touchpad, a control panel, and window and door sensors. Additional possibilities for home security systems include:
- Motion sensors
- Sound sensors (in case an intruder breaks a window to enter your home)
- Smoke detectors
- Carbon monoxide detectors
- Heat detectors
- Flood detectors
- A siren
- Cellular units (to contact ADT if landlines are not functioning properly)
- Back-up batteries/power supply
- Yard signs and window decals
- Key chains
- Two-way communication panels
- Medical emergency pendants
- Surveillance cameras
In addition to the security options listed above for residential security, ADT has security equipment for commercial applications as well. These products include:
- Access control
- RFID systems
- Electronic article surveillance
- Mass notification systems
