The versatility of ADT Pulse is attracting a growing number
of small-business owners—up 13 percent in scal 2012.
They value its ability to help them better monitor and
manage their business. For New Orleans artist and gallery
owner Adrian Fulton, ADT Pulse connects him to his gallery
when he’s home in Lafayette, La., two hours away. His
smartphone lets him use remote video surveillance to
ensure employees arrive on time and manage the gallery
and its inventory. “If an employee misses an appointment
with a prospective client, I could lose a sale,” he notes.
ADT Pulse also allows business owners to control their
utilities, including lights and thermostats. They can also
monitor for water damage and make sure refrigeration
requirements are maintained. That’s critical for many food-
related businesses. The six ADT-operated fully redundant
monitoring centers in the United States and Canada col-
lectively respond to 19 million alarm signals every year.
EXPANDING THE ECOSYSTEM OF ADT PULSE
ADT Pulse will serve as the platform for growth for ADT,
broadening its services to include energy management,
entertainment and healthcare. For example, today the
ADT Companion Service® Emergency Response System
gives customers and caregivers access to help at the
push of a button, 24 hours a day.
Ultimately, we envision a future in which ADT Pulse
customers will get an alert as a reminder to take their
medication, and customers and their caregivers can
monitor health information in real time as part of their
single integrated panel on the kitchen counter.
A decade ago, futuristic, technology-enabled smart homes were featured
in sci-fi movies and profiles of the rich and famous. Today, connected
homes are absolutely a reality, and more affordable than you might
realize. Security will always be at the core of ADT’s business. But with
our home and business automation solution, ADT Pulse, you can now
be protected and connected.
