ADT Pulse Home Security Review

As a pioneer and a leader in the security business, ADT has more than seven million customers throughout the United States and Canada who trust ADT to provide home security monitoring. Now, with ADT Pulse® and Pulse® Video, the company is also a reliable provider of home automation devices. With the addition of the company’s interactive mobile app, customers are able to not only arm and disarm their security system but also control lighting, temperature, lock and unlock doors, and control appliances using a compatible mobile device.

The company’s extensive experience and 24/7 customer support are a great incentive to customers looking for a reliable home security system. The same is true for home automation enthusiasts. Additionally, ADT’s multiple monitoring centers ensure that if one of the centers goes offline, all properties that were monitored by that one center, are automatically routed to the next center. So in addition to their home being professionally monitored, with the ADT Pulse app, customers can keep an eye on their home as well. They can check door and window sensors, activate and deactivate their system, adjust the temperature of their Nest thermostat, and control other smart devices.

ADT Pulse® customers also receive professional installation and the user-friendly monitoring equipment. After ADT’s technicians install the new alarm system, program the devices, they teach homeowners how to use the system. The company’s six-month money back guarantee, theft protection and relocation discount guarantee, and a homeowner’s insurance discount are provided to Pulse® customers as well.

Something to keep in mind when considering ADT Pulse® or Pulse® Video solutions and home automation is the cost. All the technology, devices, and features come at a higher price when compared to similar systems offered by other home security providers. They do not, however, enjoy ADT's experience and reputation.
