6. FAQs – Home Security
1. What are the benefits of a wireless system?
Wireless systems are great because there is no need to drill holes in your walls, run wires or be
restricted to where components can be placed. In addition, with wireless systems, it’s easy to move
components or even add components without damaging your homes walls.
2. What is 2-Way Voice?
2-Way Voice is a convenient, hands free feature that allows you to communicate directly with an ADT
Dispatcher from anywhere in your home. The control panel acts like an intercom over which an ADT
Dispatcher will verify an emergency in your home and ask you for your password code. The microphone
in your control panel is so strong that it can pick up a normal talking voice from over 75 feet away, so
you can communicate with a dispatcher even if even if you're injured and can't make it to the control
panel. It is like OnStar for your home.
1. If I lose electric power, will my alarm system still work?
Yes. In case of a power loss, the back-up battery will activate to maintain your alarm protection for
several hours. In the event your battery is low, a low-battery signal will be sent to your Customer
Monitoring Center so you can be notified.
1. Why is professional installation important?
Having a security professional install your ADT monitored system is important because you get the
benefit of having a trained professional analyze your home to make sure your system components
are optimally located. The initial telephone connection can be difficult and you absolutely want to have
this critical task done right to make sure your home is monitored properly.
