One of our Installation Planners will call you to arrange the earliest convenient date for your installation.

If your installation is an all day appointment the engineer should be with you at 8:30am.

The engineer will call ahead to confirm a more precise time.

Your equipment will be dispatched approximately two days prior to the installation by UPS “Leave on Premises” service where they will leave it in a safe place and you will not need to be present to sign for this.

Yes the engineer will show you how to set the system and will also leave behind our “Welcome Pack which will have the step by step guide” or alternatively you can watch our help videos or download a user guide. Click here to view our range of videos.

They are many and varied and include:

• Make sure you are the last one out (don’t be locking people in)
• Failure to practice good housekeeping, i.e. not securing the dwelling correctly before going out
• Wrong door entered, i.e. failure to enter the building via the designated alarm entry route
• Decoration within the premises causing interference with the detection – Often identified at Christmas and the decorations associated with this time of year but could be associated to any decoration added to the premises at any time of year.
• Pets. Pets entering protected areas that have not been identified with Pet detection or Pets entering areas higher than previously identified such as window ledges, sofa backs etc.
• Insecure or loose fitting door or window – often revealed during a thunderstorm, during high winds or periods of high temperatures, Close all internal doors/Windows, ensure no ceiling fans or air cons are on
• Take regular checks of the PIR’s/Dual Tech (Motion sensors) to check for cobwebs – remove them carefully with a duster avoiding contact with the equipment
• Failure to regularly maintain the system, your routine maintenance should resolve this issue.
• Failing back-up battery - often revealed during a power cut.
• If you have received a new code/fob from a non-ADT delegate then test it before proper use. Don’t assume that it will work for your system as that code/fob may have been removed since it’s last use.

ADT Alarm Monitoring Centre uses industry-leading Automated Alarm Handler (AAH) technology to respond to most alarm activations, for more efficient alarm alert prioritisation and a faster response.

Upon an alarm activation the AAH contacts you or your nominated keyholders with an automated message, giving the option to either accept or decline the notification of the alarm’s activation.

It will also recognise if the call has been diverted to your answer machine leaving you a message advising you what action you need to take.
