Layer Your Defenses

March 3, 2022

By Categories: News

If you have ever had an extended conversation with me about home defense, you have likely heard me say that you must layer your defenses.  This means

  • Plant thorny shrubs below windows
  • Use deadbolt locks (and lock your doors)
  • Have external motion sensor lights
  • Dogs can be a deterrent
  • Alarm Systems

Recently, I met Phil Haverland from ADT Security, and I cannot say enough great things about him.  ADT offers security, life safety, video cameras, and home automation.  ADT has been in business 148 years.

Advantages of using ADT includes

  • 24/7 monitoring – 9 Owned and Operated monitoring centers
  • Monitoring through cell towers – with battery back up
  • Same day and next day service
  • Quality service plan all equipment coved for life
  • ADT’s sole purpose is human protection (Home/business security Health devices and cyber security)
  • All devices made by Honeywell
  • Six Technology (2-way encryption)
  • Google partnership – ADT system works with “Hey Google” – Nest product integration
  • Discount on homeowners’ insurance + Mover’s discount program
  • Local corporate rep available for questions, help with app questions via Zoom OR in-home.
  • Discounts/promotions on other ADT security (Business security and CCTV – ADT health life alert monitoring)

While I encourage everyone interested in firearms to achieve training.  However, we cannot use force to protect “stuff.”  An alarm can protect your “stuff.”
