In the event of an event such as intrusion, fire, or medical emergency a high decibel siren is triggered to signal everyone around the dwelling.

After the siren is activated the communicator contacts the ADT Command Center with the vital information of the alarm. This could include the type of event, the entry point of the burglary, name ,address, phone number, directions ,and special instructions such as an elderly parent or presence of a pet.

The representative then will contact the proper authority and dispatch them your location. Once that is completed they will then try to contact emergency contact numbers that you provide.
