ADT home security systems are customized to fit your specific needs. Most security systems rely on audible alarms to alert family members that their alarm system has been triggered, but ADT gives you options. ADT is the only system on the market that can be customized for deaf and hard-of-hearing households.
The ADT Pulse system combines security with home-automation features that allow you to monitor, control, and manage your home when you’re away. A home automation system that is accessible remotely is standard with smart home packages, but Pulse allows you to control your home in multiple ways. You can use the Pulse app on your phone, on your computer, or on an interactive, in-home touchscreen that you can use anywhere inside your house. Pulse includes a panic button in the app so that ADT can send for help without any delay. The Pulse app allows you to control your home’s lights, thermostats, garage door, doorbell camera, indoor and outdoor cameras, doors, locks, carbon monoxide sensors, fire alarms, flood sensors, and window and door sensors. Anything that can be plugged into the wall can be automated.
In a customer testimonial, the Herman family recommends ADT Pulse for deaf families. All members of the Herman family are deaf. ADT Pulse lets them know what is going on in the house, since they can’t hear. They set up custom alerts and notifications so that the system alerts them by text and by email when the system is triggered. The family customized their system to include a strobe light above the control panel so that they can see when the security system is activated. The customized alerts also ensured that a representative from the monitoring center won’t call, since many deaf people don’t use the voice feature of their phone. Instead, the family communicates only by text, by email, and through the online-management system. You can do everything online without calling the company, which makes ADT Pulse “perfect for deaf people.”
