ADT Alarm Monitoring
Maxi Security Alarm System installed in your home or business communicates with the ADT’s 24-hour monitoring center through ordinary telephone lines or, alternatively, through a cellular or radio connection. At the present time, the direct phone line connection is the most reliable method of communication in New Zealand.
Most existing as well as new alarm systems can be connected to the ADT Monitoring Centre. Some older systems wouldn’t have a dialler to dial through a telephone network, in which case, an upgrade of the system is necessary before it can dial through to the monitoring centre.
Components of the system include door and window sensors, motion detectors, glass breakage detectors as well as smoke & heat detectors. These components may be hard-wired to your alarm panel or wireless depending on your unique needs.
In addition to entry detection which occurs when you arm your system, you may also have “panic buttons” which may be activated irrespective of whether or not the system has been armed. An alarm incident results in an immediate seizure of the telephone line to transmit the signal to the monitoring station. There are normally 3 types of panic buttons on all alarms systems, covering, Intrusion Panic, Medical Panic and Fire Panic.
When the ADT Monitoring Centre receives an alarm signal from your system, they contact the premises, the appropriate responding authorities and your personal contacts in the order dictated by the type of signal which has been received. – (Intrusion, Panic, Medical Panic and Fire Panic). Normally alarm signals are received and a dispatch attempt is made within 30 seconds. You have the ability to cancel inadvertent alarms via your alarm keypad which will stop dispatch efforts.
Your system is monitored when the alarm is being armed or even un-armed. In addition to alarm signals, your system can be programmed to communicate automatic periodic tests, low battery state, system functionality, communication connections and entry and exit information. An entry and exit log is also being recorded, indicating opening and closing times of the premises.
