Can I Use ADT Equipment with Another Security Company? Posted on June 8, 2018 by

Is ADT Equipment Compatible With Other Security Systems?

There are many reasons why you want and need a home security system. You’re worried someone might break into your home. You want to take all the precautions to keep your children safe. You want to prevent house fires. You desire a more energy efficient, smart home.

Although everyone is interested for different reasons, most of us end up in the same situation–on the phone with an ADT salesman, and boy are they smooth. The next thing you know, an ADT tech is at your home doing the install and an hour later it’s complete.

Switching ADT Alarm Equipment

Disadvantages to Using ADT

This all sounds ideal, but there are some disadvantages to using ADT. Are you aware that ADT customers are locked into a 3-5 year contract with a high monthly rate? Did you know that ADT is quick to install and slow to service?

ADT will rope you in, tie you up, and leave you stranded most of the time. However, most people stay with ADT because they believe it’s their only option.

ADT is a security giant whose advertising is everywhere. It’s hard for small alarm companies to compete with their marketing. When people think home security, they tend to think ADT is the only option. They don’t know that they can leave.

Making the Switch from ADT

What do you do if you find yourself in a similar situation? It’s important to understand that you can switch home security companies. In most cases, ADT equipment can be used by other alarm companies, including Security Alarm.

Let us help you save money by utilizing as much of your existing equipment as possible!

Using ADT With Another Security Company

If you or someone you know took the ADT bait, you aren’t stuck!

Security Alarm would love the chance to talk with you. There is no reason for you to be with a security company that doesn’t have your best interests in mind. We will sign you up and promise to look over you and your home for as long as you will allow us.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Excellent
4.9
The gentleman that was here--I'm sorry I don't remember his name--did an excellent job researching and troubleshooting our problem. He was humming a happy tune all during his time here. We found a couple of discrepancies in the wiring which he documented, and then he replaced a motion sensor which seemed to be causing our problem. Asked me to call you if we still have more problems. Thanks.
We had a minor issue with our buzzer system for the entry door and Josh responded to our email within a few hours. An employee was at our office the next day and had the problem fixed within 30 minutes. We love the system they installed and would highly recommend Security Alarm. Mark Miller, Marion County Supervisor of Assessments

I have been dealing with Lowitt Alarms Security Alarms since 1997, I an very satisfied with there service, I had a problem 4/5/24, I could not shut off the alarm, after calling Lowitt and following directions I was not able to shut off the alarm, I was told that the next appointment for repair would be tomorrow, I explained the we are seniors and please see what you can do, Linda, was able to made some adjustments and a repair person came to our home at 4Pm and put a new battery and radio, I highly recommend Lowitt Alarms to any one who is shopping for a Security System

The technicians (Curtis and Jeff) arrived as scheduled, had the installation diagrams as discussed with Larry during the sales presentation and immediately began working on the planned installation. These gents came prepared with proper tooling, equipment and most impressive was a strong desire to satisfy the customer. The install was timely, they ensured their quality of work was satisfactory and cleaned up their work areas after the system functionality was verified. Great technicians!

we needed to change around a camera and a camera needed to be replaced. All the work was done perfectly and service was done in record time with no problems. We always get great service with Security Alarm Company.
Response from the owner: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
I called Security Alarm to check on cameras for outside since we had used them in our Ag business for years. The process to get lined up was simple and Larry was very thorough in explaining everything. They were out in just a few days to install them. Both guys were very friendly and professional. It didn't take long to install and I know they probably had wiring issues to deal with. They did a great job and the cameras show exactly where I wanted them. I am very pleased with the service and products installed.Thanks!
Response from the owner: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Cindy! We are so happy that you had a great experience with us and that you are pleased with the product. If either of those things ever change, please let us know!
We have been trouble shooting several trouble alarms and Security Alarm has been very responsive and willing to help in what ever way they can. After the most recent service, the technician was great at telling exactly what he did and next steps if this does not solve the problem.
Response from the owner: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Steve! We are so thankful for our technicians and the work they do!

He has demonstrated a great deal of patience and genuine willingness to give his best to resolve any problems I have brought to him. His technical knowledge and ability to troubleshoot is outstanding. You have a solid team at Security Alarm and as a customer of yours I wanted you to know I appreciate it.”
We have several cameras from Security Alarm. Our favorite is the thermal imaging camera. It is great for watching pastures at night.
