Introduction ADT is known to be one of the most effective home security systems in the market. Their systems offer a great form of monitoring that will assist in protecting your home against any possible forms of intrusion. A key benefit, which is present on most ADT systems, is the ability to receive a voice intrusion alert that lets you know the alarm was activated. It can be very helpful to have your system speak to let you know immediately that something is wrong and also allow you to hear what is happening in your house no matter where you are. Disabling your voice alerts is something that is quite simple and does not require the intervention of a technician or any other professional.

Voice Alert: The following are the procedures to enable voice alerts.

  1. Choose Your ADT Account Login as an Online Service First of all, you have to enter MyADT account which is available on the Internet. It can be done easily by browsing to MyADT home page and clicking on the Log In link that is located in the upper right corner of the page. Please insert your username and password that was given to you at the time of activation of the ADT system. It takes you directly to your dashboard where you will be able to find options that lead you to different aspects of your account.
  2. Click on Notification Settings On the left side of the screen, there is a tabs list, in which you can find the “Notification Settings” tab that will help in managing your alerts and notifications. When it comes to the kind of notification you would like to receive in case the alarm is activated, you can arrange it in a way that is pleasing to you. Common notification types will normally be telephone calls, short message service (SMS) text messages, and electronic mail (email) alerts. You can also turn on or off any other useful notifications like activity or problem-related ones.
  3. Toggle On Voice Notifications In the Phone Calls section, there should be a toggle icon that states “Voice Notifications” and one has to move the toggle to the ON mode. With this enabled, your system will be in a position to call you immediately in case of an alarm event to give a real-time voice alert. Any live activity can be listened to from the speakers and as for the panic buttons, they can also be activated using voice commands which is convenient so that you know what is going on inside your home to plan the right response for it.
  4. Description: This function allows the user to alter the sequence of the list that contains the notification call. From our abovementioned Notification Settings page, scroll down to the Notification Call List Order option. It is here where you get to decide which phone numbers to call and in what sequence each time the alarm rings. You’ll also desire to check that your own cell phone or home phone number of the recipient is the first number dialed. In this section, you can manage your phone numbers: add a new one using the ‘+’ icon, change the information using the pencil icon next to the entry, and delete it using the minus sign.
  5. Save Your New Settings After enabling voice notification and setting up the preferred call list, scroll down the page and click the “Save Changes” button located at the bottom of the screen. This will then update your ADT account with the new notification settings that you have just set. Users also suggest that more people should try to click the ‘Send Me a Test Alert Now’ link to get the system to call their phone using the voice alert to confirm whether the system has been set up correctly. The option of a test call ensures your settings are correct before using them when an actual alarm trigger event occurs.

What do I need to know about Voice Alert Calls?

Since, the time, an alarm occurs, the ADT alarm system will start dialing all the numbers on the notification call list and will start giving voice alerts over the phone once the call is connected. The first thing that you hear is the recorded initial warning stating that some alert has been triggered from the security system panel and your account number and then the kind of alarms such as fire, carbon monoxide, or intrusion. Such details can assist you in ascertaining the level of immediacy as well as ensuring that appropriate law enforcement agencies are informed.

The next feature the ADT system will bring into the picture after the alarm details is the ability to listen right into the room that raised the alarm for the next 10 seconds using the control panel, which has a built-in microphone and speaker phone. One can also make voice commands over the call for starting panic buttons, sounding alarms in the home, or canceling/confirming an alarm blare. These commands can be useful for you in the case when there are intruders present or you wish to avoid the accidental activation of alarm fees. If the system receives any voice commands then the system will go back to the live audio feed for another 10 seconds and then terminate the call.

Just having a chance to hear something that is happening in real-time directly from the control panel gives an extra layer of safety and confidence when the alarm blinks. By employing voice notifications, one can easily and in the shortest time possible assess emergencies even if physically, he or she is not in the house. Just remember to save the changes you make to notification settings too, and check them out once in a while to ensure that they are working as they should. In the same way that ADT alarm voice is effective in alerting you, using it to its full potential makes your home more secure and ensures you feel safe.

Conclusion Voice notifications from the ADT security system can be informative when your alarms are going off and you need the information. However, configuring voice alerts using the listed simple steps takes only a few minutes in the online account. To ensure that you are the first to be informed when it is your turn to make the call, be certain to alter the order of the call list. It is advisable to try receiving a voice call from your panel to know the experience of receiving such a call. With voice notifications, you get a live audio feed from inside your home when an alarm event occurs to decide how to deal with it to protect the property.
