ADT Live Light And MySafety Features Bolster Protection At Home And When Youre Out

The most trusted name in home security keeps discovering new ways to protect your home and family members. ADT recently introduced two new features: Live Light™ and the MySafety service built into the ADT+ app. Explore these upgrades and how they work in conjunction with your ADT home security system in Hoover.

What Is ADT MySafety?

ADT MySafety is a mobile safety service built to shield you and your loved ones when you’re out. It works through the ADT+ app and comes free with a professional monitoring subscription. Essentially, it links you to ADT’s award-winning monitoring service no matter where you are.

How Does ADT MySafety Work?

Envision yourself going on a stroll in the evening. You for the most part feel safe in your Hoover neighborhood, but enjoy the idea of having skilled monitoring agents ready if you feel unsafe or if something seems wrong. 

Here are ways to use MySafety:

  • Set a safety timer. You know your walk takes approximately 20 minutes. You can initiate a timer in the ADT+ app, and if you don’t turn it off before it expires, ADT will attempt to reach you. If you don’t reply, emergency services will be contacted and provided your GPS location.
  • Request a text or call. You can subtly ask for a call or start a text conversation with a touch of your finger. A monitoring professional will contact you at once. If you fail to answer, ADT will request help.
  • Establish an emergency phrase. There might be moments where you’re not able to access your cell phone, but have it with you. In this case, you can say a custom, predetermined phrase that will send an SOS alert to ADT, giving monitoring specialists your precise location.

Live Light Guides Emergency Services To Your Hoover Home

ADT’s classic yard sign just received a significant upgrade. The sign is now an active, more integrated feature as it lights up whenever the alarm goes off. Known as ADT Live Light, this exciting feature helps signal first responders at times when every second makes a difference. Your Hoover home will be easier to spot at any hour, specifically in dark or poor weather conditions.

Here’s a bit more about the stunning new ADT sign:

  • Illuminates automatically any time the alarm trips
  • You can switch it on any time you wish through the ADT+ app
  • Increases visibility and deterrence, indicating your home is secured
  • Designed to work reliably in wet, cold, and hot conditions

Requirements for using ADT Live Light:

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • ADT monitoring
  • ADT+ app
  • AA L91 lithium batteries (3), included
