Preventing false alarms:
False alarms are a terrible waste of your public service
resources, and can erode your relationship with local
authorities. In some areas, authorities even charge a fee for
false dispatches.
Here’s some tips for avoiding false alarms:
-Use your system regularly, be comfortable with its operation.
-Make sure everyone who has access to your home has a
valid access code and is familiar with how to use the system.
-Ensure the doors you use the most are set up with delays to
give you enough time to disarm the system when you open a
door.
-Test your system regularly
-Develop a routine.
-Use alternative methods for arming and disarming (mobile
app, bluetooth disarming, etc.)
The ADT
Smart Home
Hub will automatically
contact the ADT Monitoring Centre using the Dual
Path LTE & Wi-Fi connection.
To disarm, touch the screen and enter your
passcode.
False Alarms
In the event of a false alarm, press disarm and
enter your user code. If your system is
monitored, be ready to provide your verbal
password to your security provider’s monitoring
agent if they contact you. If you are NOT able
to provide the correct verbal passcode, the
authorities may be contacted.
