ADT Teams Up With AKC
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.
Strange Happenings In Home Security News
There have been reports recently that an ADT spokesperson has said that ADT has been alerted to and feel they may be isolated incidents.
In certain areas that have been named like Durban, Berea and Morningside some criminals have found a unique way to mark homes and cars for break-ins.
These would be thieves are marking gates, intercoms and other areas of the property such as walls with crayons. The crayons are a color code with one color for home break-ins, another color for vehicle break-ins and other codes.
The colors seem to be blue, red and green for these codes, it has been reported that blue is for auto break-ins, while red is the code to hijack and green is left for home break-ins.
While there might be people that just do not believe this is possible, looking back in history beggars had a similar type of system and while they were not known to travel in a thief ring, they made marks with chalk to alert others who knew their code of certain things like homes that would hand out food.
This is yet another example why home security systems can be very important to your families safety.
