Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

Improve Your View

If you control your Manhattan home security system with your phone, you can get a real-time view of your interior and exterior if your surveillance is active.

If you want to go even more high-tech, you can activate geo-services from the main hub or the app. Now, you can have your property
prepare itself by locking the doors, switching off the lights, and arming your alarms when you leave the driveway. Then when you pull in after a long day’s work, your home will come to life by automatically opening the garage and disengaging your alarm.
