Advances in remote alarm management brings customers peace of mind, says home security specialists ADT.

According to the Office for National Statistics, there were 192,060 home burglaries reported in England and Wales in the past year. That’s an average of 526 burglaries a day, or a house being burgled every 164 seconds.

With a disturbing 50% of domestic burglary incidents occurring when someone is at home, it has never been more important that people do all they can to dissuade a criminal attempting to infiltrate their home.

Whilst there are several companies that offer home security solutions today, there is only one that has been keeping families safe for almost 150 years.
