ADT Smart Home keeps homes secure with just the touch of a button

The ‘connected home’ of the future is now closer to becoming a reality as ADT has launched Smart Home; a new product that allows homeowners to manage their home security, from wherever they are in the world.

ADT Smart Home will bring UK consumers the ease to access a smart home security system with the knowledge that it is also monitored 24/7 by an established security provider.

Many DIY security kits offer home automation, but only ADT Smart Home combines smart home technology with professional installation and 24/7 monitoring and maintenance, giving homeowners reassurance and peace of mind that their home and loved ones are safe.

With nearly 700,000 domestic burglaries taking place in 2015 and potential budget cuts to police forces in England and Wales, home security is front of mind for householders across the country. ADT Smart Home is the latest development from the leading security company to help meet the increasing consumer demand for people being able to effortlessly manage their home security.

Gail Hunter, a spokesperson for ADT, says: “ADT Smart Home system enables customers to manage their home security from wherever they are in the world – and it’s been designed to be as easy as tying your shoe laces.”

“As we move into the digital age consumers want home appliances that are integrated and can be managed remotely. ADT Smart Home enables homeowners to manage their own home security in a way that fits in with their lifestyle.”

ADT Smart Home uses state of the art home automation technology to allow householders to control their security remotely. The alarm panel communicates with wireless motion sensors and door or window contact sensors, to detect intruders and alerts the 24/7 monitoring centre and the homeowner to an intrusion.

ADT Smart Home offers new ways to manage the alarm system remotely using a computer or a smartphone, giving the homeowner control wherever they may be – specific scenarios can be created to reflect lifestyle needs. This solution also provides additional devices for managing home automation, including wirelessly controllable power plugs or video cameras, enabling them to switch lights on and off, and view inside their homes.

Whether it is receiving an alert when someone un-sets the alarm or when the alarm is triggered, checking the kids have arrived home from school, that an elderly relative is safe or that the family pet isn’t causing havoc, householders can manage and view it all from a smartphone, tablet or PC.

Gail continues: “We find that the use of ADT Smart Home as “people or pet minders” strikes a big chord among home owners, as the rise in multi- generational households has fuelled the use of smart home security devices to check-in on the kids and frailer members of the family.”

ADT will be launching in the UK at The Gadget Show Live on the 31st March at Birmingham NEC. The stand (D60) will be located in the Better Life arena and there will be live demonstrations of the ADT Smart Home system and app during the four day exhibition.

The launch marks the security firm’s commitment to providing its customers with the most advanced security and its vision for the future protection of the ‘digital home’.
