A house fire can blaze out of control quickly. If you are away from your house when a fire starts, who will notify the fire department? By the time a neighbor notices flames exiting your home, it may be too late.
The FIRE Panic Button
Using the FIRE panic button on your control panel will notify the fire department instantly. And unlike 911, ADT representatives can pinpoint your location, saving precious time.
Cold Smoke vs. Hot Smoke
Most standard smoke detectors are only set off by "hot smoke," meaning that flame or heat must be present. ADT systems are hard-wired to a photoelectric smoke detector, which can detect "cold smoke." Smoke from cold sources like cigarettes or slow-burning electrical fires can smolder for hours before actually producing flame.
ADT installers inspect your home and position smoke detectors strategically in the biggest threat zones.
