ADT Security Services and iControl to Partner

18 January, 2009

ADT Security Services and iControl are partnering to introduce the new next-generation platform, Home Security 2.0 to the ADT Monitoring System. This as yet to be named interactive security solution will integrate the new platform with the existing home security system in revolutionary ways.

"ADT customers will soon be able to remotely control their security systems and much more," said Don Boerema, ADT's Chief Marketing Officer in a statement. "In an office, while on vacation, or from virtually anywhere in the world where there's access to the Internet, users can conveniently manage their homes or businesses, saving time and money."

The promise of incredible new ways to control a home security system was enumerated by Greg Roberts, Vice President of Marketing at iControl, "It really delivers three main components that layer on top of a traditional monitored home security solution. One, it offers a safer solution to the end user. Traditional home security offers the wonderful consumer benefit of peace of mind. Layering technology enhances that peace of mind proposition in a number of ways. Another component is connectivity--being connected to the home. Today, that is a consumer need that is not met. This platform, because of its broadband connectivity, allows customers to stay connected to their home and family anywhere in the world via web or mobile phone. And the third component of this is simplicity. The user interfaces that I've just mentioned--Web, mobile, iPhone application--all have to be very easy to use, very intuitive, and we've spent a significant amount of time ensuring that the user experience for this solution is as good as it can possibly get from a simplicity standpoint."

This revolutionary solution will integrate security, energy and lighting control, live video, event-driven video clips, pictures and an array of other functions. Customers will have self-control through the web or web-based phones. "So you can now see live video or set the system to take video clips or pictures when events occur, like when doors are opened or when motion sensors go off. It also allows for home management functionality--thermostats, lighting control and so forth. So now from a mobile phone or Web portal, you can control ... a host of functionality that will be added to the platform," said Greg Roberts.

ADT will be continuing to expand and build on this technology and announcing new developments over the coming months.
