An ADT monitored home security system can literally be a life saver if you have small children or elderly family members in your home. With two-way communication, a well trained emergency dispatcher can speak with anyone in the house, whether they’re in the same room as the control panel or not, in an emergency. This could be invaluable if a small child finds their guardian incapacitated for some reason. In addition, if an elderly person has fallen or is in trouble and can’t reach the control panel or telephone, they can speak in their normal speaking voice to a qualified emergency dispatcher, that can quickly assess the specific situation, dispatching local emergency response units if needs be.
