Does ADT do business security?

ADT offers two types of business security solutions. 

The Small Business option is designed for businesses with basic security needs. Along with intrusion and safety monitoring, you can add automation, cyber security, access control, and more.

ADT Commercial is for large businesses with extensive security needs. The provider works with you to manage all of your organization’s risks. These comprehensive, customized security solutions can be used for even the largest enterprises.

Small Business Security Systems & Services

If you have an office building, store, restaurant, warehouse, or other type of business space, you need to invest in a security system. ADT’s small business security solutions cover all the bases while also customizing to fit your specific needs.

First, an ADT security expert will visit your location to assess the risks you face. They will evaluate the building to see what kind of equipment you need. Depending on your work, they may recommend additional services to protect your data, customers, and staff. 

Most importantly, the security expert will listen to your concerns and desires to make sure they create the right solution. ADT is committed to finding a flexible security option that fits your budget and guards your priorities.

Your system may use a variety of security devices, including:

• Door and window sensors
• Motion sensors
• Glass break sensors
• Hold up button
• Temperature sensors
• Flood monitoring sensors
• Security cameras
• Video storage, both on-site and in the cloud
• Smart thermostats
• Smart plugs
• Lighting controls
• Smart locks
• Keycard readers
• Intercoms
• Remote access/automation tools

The customized combination of equipment will depend on your priorities, budget, and monitoring plan, as well as the solutions you use.

Intrusion Detection

Without a security system, your business can be vandalized, robbed, and broken into. Even worse, you may not know about the crime until hours after it’s happened.

ADT offers 24/7 professional monitoring to prevent intrusion, discourage would-be burglars, capture intruders on camera, and alert the police immediately to the crime. The Intrusion Detection solution includes:

• Sensors around the building’s perimeter to detect unwanted entries
• Motion, glass break, and vibration sensors to detect intruders inside

Interactive Security

Stay on top of your business’ security with ADT’s interactive solutions. With the mobile app, you can access and control your full security system. Even if you have multiple buildings, you can monitor them all on your phone. 

The app allows you to automate security precautions, ensuring you never leave the door unlocked or the system unarmed. View live video from your security cameras, as well as recorded videos.

For cost savings, you can also use smart devices and the app to remotely control your thermostat and lighting.

Access Control

Restricting access to your premises is essential for your team’s safety and comfort. Common reasons for access control include:

• Protecting inventory
• Guarding sensitive information or controlled substances
• Granting limited access to vendors, staff, and customers

ADT uses keycard readers to keep areas restricted to authorized users. Intercoms can be installed at the doors to these areas so you can speak to visitors without risking your security. If you use smart locks, you can lock and unlock doors as needed through your phone.

These devices feature easy-to-use software, so you can manage and update your users without difficulty. Real-time notifications keep you updated on all activity and alerts.

Video Surveillance

Security cameras are essential to any modern security system. You can use them to:

• Discourage or capture burglars and vandals
• Monitor operations for productivity and safety compliance
• Track inventory
• Reduce liability

ADT offers HD dome, bullet, turret, and video doorbell cameras to cover all needs. These cameras include powerful analytics, smart alerts, live video streaming, and 24/7 recording. Upload the footage to cloud storage and/or add on-site storage devices to save your footage.

Video Verification

Along with video recordings, ADT provides real-time video verification through its monitoring team. If something triggers a camera, the monitoring team will view the live video and contact you to see if it’s a false alarm. If it’s not, they will immediately contact the police.

The faster the police arrive, the less time the intruder has to damage your property. This solution helps minimize property loss, insurance claims, and false alarms.

Fire and Life Safety

If you don’t have a plan and equipment in place, a fire can threaten the lives of your team and the future of your business. ADT’s fire and life safety solution ensures your business is up to code and prepared to act quickly if a fire occurs.

This service includes:

• Comprehensive planning

As soon as your system is triggered, a security expert will reach out to see if it was a false alarm.

You can also connect with this team at any time through your Smart Hub or app. If you feel unsafe or need assistance, professional security support is only a call away.

ADT Commercial

ADT understands that commercial businesses need a robust security solution that covers all their needs, both big and small. For some companies, that means protecting materials and information that can have global consequences.

Businesses that use ADT Commercial enjoy the powerful solutions offered by a national company with the personal service provided by local offices. These security experts will work with you to design the exact protection you need. 

Commercial businesses can enjoy security, fire, life safety, and risk consulting solutions through ADT. The security provider uses a number of services to cover all the bases and ensure safety for every client.

No matter what happens in and around your company, you can have confidence that your livelihood, assets, and employees are in good hands.

Access Control

Many commercial businesses handle sensitive information, dangerous materials, and access to important resources. Without access control, these assets are vulnerable to theft and damage.

Depending on your needs, you can restrict access to specific areas and rooms or cover everything from the parking lot to the elevators. 

This solution offers:

• Multiple equipment options, including badges, card readers, video surveillance, intrusion detection, biometrics, identity management, and more

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) Systems

Retail companies lose billions every year to shrink, which includes employee theft, shoplifting, fraud, and paperwork errors. Retail security solutions minimize these losses through an EAS system, which tracks products and detects theft.

This system uses:

• EAS equipment to cover doors and entrances
• Security tags and disposable labels
• Tag detachers and label deactivators
• Specialty tags for hard-to-protect products such as eyewear, liquor bottles, and shoes
• Alarming, lanyard-based, ink-based, Bandit II IR, and security tags

Elevated Skin Temperature (EST) Systems

Maintaining a safe and healthy work environment is crucial, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. An EST system screens employees and visitors for elevated temperatures that may indicate sickness. 

ADT’s non-invasive EST solution has been cleared by the FDA, so you can depend on it to identify potential risks. Using infrared cameras at entrances and other strategic locations, you can prevent sickness from spreading among your staff and customers.

Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement System (ERCES)

Building materials can sometimes block radio communications, increasing risks and slowing rescue operations at critical moments. An ERCES system improves radio communication within your buildings. Using specialized equipment, it ensures first responders can stay in touch when entering your premises.

ADT works with you, contractors, and local fire authorities to create an optimal system that complies with local fire codes. From design to installation to maintenance, the security provider has you covered.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Previously, businesses had to purchase multiple security systems to get the features they wanted. Maintaining these systems, integrating them, and eating the costs of the unused features all made this option a bad deal for most businesses.

With ADT Command’s IaaS solution, you outsource your security needs to the provider. You only subscribe and pay for the services you need, but you still have access to risk consulting, deployment, cutting-edge technology, and maintenance services. You can let ADT do what it does best while you focus on your own work.
