ADT is a leading and one of the oldest home security service providers in America. They offer various security products for residential and commercial premises, from burglar alarms, security cameras, doors and gates, fire alarms, and more. However, is this true and do they track fire alarms as part of their services?

To answer the question directly, yes, ADT does provide monitoring for fire and smoke alarms as part of its offering. This means that if a fire alarm or a smoke detector is triggered while you are at work or away or asleep at home, an alarm signal will be relayed to one of the ADT monitoring centers where the signals are monitored round the clock by able personnel. If an actual emergency signal from any of your fire or smoke alarms is being sounded, the Monitored Alarm System can easily call your local fire department for assistance on your behalf.

ADT offers three main levels of monitoring services for fire and smoke alarms: Smoke/ Fire Alarm monitoring – This is where at any one point, one of the smoke or fire alarms has been activated and the monitoring center is alerted and depending on your instructions created at the time, they act accordingly.

  1. Alarm response – Alarm monitoring plus dispatch of the fire department Alarm response means monitoring the alarm as well as the dispatching of the fire department. Alarm response monitoring, for instance, ensures that ADT will notify your local fire department immediately in case of an alarming fire or smoke alarm, even if it’s just a burnt toast that triggered the smoke alarm in the kitchen.
  2. Alarm response with notification – Alarm response also means that ADT contacts you or other contacts every time an alarm is activated. This helps in making certain that in case the fire department is not required, you will be informed by ADT that an alarm in your residential or commercial building has been activated.

Well, if being able to have a professional monitoring service that can dial out to call emergency responders on your behalf is also crucial, ADT can offer that service not only for burglar alarms but also for smoke and fire alarms. The details are contingent upon certain factors such as which monitoring package as well as the equipment that you wish to install. However, their high-end plans do include monitoring that triggers emergency services instantly at the sound of a beep.

The types of fire safety devices that ADT can monitor in your home include: 

Smoke Detectors – Smoke detectors also detect smoke with the help of photoelectric or ionization type of sensors and are usually caused by smoldering fire. ADT does provide monitoring for wireless smoke detectors for instance Nest Protect smoke alarms.

Heat Detectors - Heat detectors are used to monitor room temperature and get activated when a specific threshold showing the presence of fire is achieved. Heat detectors, on the other hand, can pinpoint increases in room temperatures without necessarily alerting the occupants to a fire or smoke.

Flame Detectors – These are tiny gadgets that look for light emissions that flames produce in a room to monitor the fire. There are requirements for the sensors: they must have a line of sight to the fire.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors – While technically not fire alarms, ADT can also connect the client’s CO detectors that alert them of the poisonous gas results of combustion and possible fire or furnace complications.

Manual Pull Stations – Wall-mounted fire alarms which are activated by pulling a cord to sound evacuation alarm systems are also well monitored by the ADT systems. This averts a situation where fire departments are not promptly dispatched to the scenes.

Supervision of fire protection systems is an added measure of security besides having different detectors and bells in the building. When using ADT monitoring, fire alarms are sent to the monitoring center once an alarm threshold is crossed in the facility. ADT operators can then rapidly assess the alarm and dial emergency services instead of having a person escape the building and then call 911. This faster response can put out the fire before it reaches as far as it may have reached otherwise and causes less total damage.

Thus although ADT might still be most popular with their home security against burglaries, this is truly a company with equal proficiency in monitoring fires or smoke detectors. Everyone including individuals and or businesses which include offices, warehouses, and apartments could benefit from having a third-party monitoring company that is always observing the alarms during the day and night and is ready to call for help as soon as flames or smoke is detected. Taking into account the constant coverage, that ADT offers, they present a trustworthy fire and smoke detector monitoring, added to other security services, that have been popularized by the company over time.
