Automation

Your home security, your way
Intruder detection
Monitor the inside of your home and secure key entry points like doors and windows with passive infrared detectors (PIRs or motion detectors), door and window sensors and break glass detectors.
We understand all homes have different security needs, which is why ADT offers an over-the-phone professional security assessment to help you design the perfect setup.
Smoke & heat detection
If you have smoke or heat detectors installed, you can connect them to your DIY Home Security System for additional protection.
If triggered, our 24/7 back-to-base monitoring team will contact you and your chosen contacts. Even if your alarm system is unarmed, our experts will be notified and ready to support you in an emergency.
Duress alarms
An ADT home security system features a duress alarm button to help protect you and your family when you need it most.
