« MY SIM FREE MOBILE PHONE IS NOT TOO SHABBY | Main | A WOW ACCOUNT PROVIDES A GOOD STRESS OUTLET »

Honestly, call me naive but I never knew much about home security systems and such. I knew the name ADT but I guess I really didn't understand how the thing worked. Then my boyfriend got an ADT security system installed in his house. When he first told me about it I asked him if it was expensive and he said really he was surprised at how little it cost and how much they provided you with for the cost.

He told me that the alarm system not only alerted you if someone had come into the house through a door or window, but that it could also be set to detect motion in the house, which was good but he has a dog so he doesn't activate that part because he is afraid that the doggy will set off the motion detectors. He said it even sounds if you have a fire or if there is a carbon monoxide leak in your home, which I thought was pretty amazing. He gave me the code to get in with and he showed me how to activate and deactivate the system. He also told me that there is a code word, another thing that I never knew about, in case your home is broken into and the alarm sounds, the ADT people call you and if you don't tell them the code word, then they will call 911 and send help. At first I really didn't understand the concept, but then he explained to me that the reason for that is in case the person who breaks in answers the phone and tells the alarm company that everyone is okay and that they sounded the alarm by accident, they will know if they are lying by whether or not they know the keyword for the system. Just another way to insure your safety I guess. Plus now he said he gets to pay less for his homeowners insurance which is obviously another big plus.

Overall, I can't believe how much safer I feel since he installed this alarm system. With ADT watching over us, I know that I am resting more easily knowing that I am safe no matter what may happen.
