What is the Auto Alarm Handler

ADT Alarm Monitoring Centre uses industry-leading Automated Alarm Handler (AAH) technology to respond to most alarm activations, for more efficient alarm alert prioritisation and a faster response.


Upon an alarm activation the AAH contacts you or your nominated keyholders with an automated message, giving the option to either accept or decline the notification of the alarm’s activation.


It will also recognise if the call has been diverted to your answer machine leaving you a message advising you what action you need to take.

Fire Detection

Fire detection not only protects your business and saves lives, but neglecting your fire safety responsibilities could lead to fines and even imprisonment

CCTV systems

CCTV lets you keep a watchful eye on your business and acts as a visual deterrent to potential intruders.

An ADT Home Protection Consultant will be happy to come to your home and recommend the perfect security solution based on your property and circumstances.
