The ADT home security company has teamed up with the American Kennel Club and the National Volunteer Fire Council to help save pets. This is an effort to make the public aware of how pets left at home alone are much safer when there is a home security system installed in the home.

The home security system monitored by ADT sends an alert to the monitoring center when there is smoke or fire in which case the fire department is dispatched to the home. This means the dogs or cats that live in the home have a better chance of being rescued from would otherwise be deadly to them.

This is one of the best ADT benefits to many pet owners that the home security system can provide for them because many pets are not just pets but a part of the family. In fact some of the numbers for pets that are involved in home fires is approximately 500,000 per year according to the statistics that ADT, AKC and the National Volunteer Fire Department have come out with.

Fortunately for homeowners and families that rent apartments there is ADT equipment to fit any home so that not only is the family safe from home break-ins but their pets are safe when they are home alone.

Who Needs ADT Wireless

When you look for information on installing an ADT home security system there is two different systems they offer and one of these is their wireless system and you might wonder why use a wireless system if your going to get a home security system.

The best reason for the wireless security system is for certain people; those that live in older homes where it would be difficult to put a wireless system in and then there are the people that rent a house, townhouse or an apartment. They also want home security but placing the wires in the walls is not possible for these residences and that is where the wireless system comes in, there are no wires that need to be installed.

This system has a keypad, and then it has sensors that are placed on windows and on doors, which is where someone breaking in the home is going to come through anyway. A system like this does not alter the home in anyway so there is not a problem with the landlord and also there is not any problems with older homes because the construction of their walls is far different than the homes that are built today.

In the end it the wireless system has the same great ADT protection that the wired system has to offer.
