ADT Essential Wireless Package

Technically true. But because they were technically monitoring the systems doesn't mean the systems were there to be monitored. Much like their entire customer base. They don't who they are actually monitoring and who they aren't. To use Katrina as an example was BS.

hey hey hey, care to tell us why, Robert.

Maybe the name, but how many owners and countries does that 132 years represent?

It also says "Certain Restrictions Apply" and then dosen't spell those out = on the website or in the contract on-line.

Like someone else said "the devil is in the details."

Yeah, but the cat ain't gonna like none of 'em!

My brother located in another state has Brinks which doesn't have "cellguard" they now have a "digital transmitter network" which kicks in when the land line goes down. Brinks claims it's better than "cellguard" do they independents have anything similar? Does "Cellguard" work?

Evidently, there's a whole lot about ADT you don't know. The 2275 and Oracle are tools used by local SSO's to estimate small commercial jobs and to order parts for branch operations. What I've described isn't done through that channel.

Here's the two products I mentioned:

Here's some other stuff you don't know about:

ADT QControl? Brings Heightened Screening at Airport Checkpoints

ADT introduced QControl, a state-of-the-art aviation screening-process technology, at Miami International Airport. The system fully integrates airport security technologies to maximize public traffic flow, promote industry compliance and heighten overall security.

QControl helps eliminate false alarms, uses minimal space, allows unmanned monitoring and improves passenger information.

Miami is the first airport in the world to install this ADT system to monitor both inbound and outbound traffic flow.

Some project examples:

Case Study: Washington Dulles International Airport

Location: Washington, DC (IAD) Contract Amount: $12 million ADT performed design, installation and maintenance of all Washington Dulles International Airport security systems including access control, CCTV, digital recording and perimeter security. Major equipment includes Software House access control, American Dynamics CCTV and Loronix digital recording. ADT was also awarded a $1.3 million maintenance contract that runs through June 2006.

Since receiving the maintenance contract for the electronic security systems at the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority facilities at Dulles and Reagan National airports (see Reagan information below) in 1999, ADT has added more than 250 Software House card readers and field panels to the access control system, in addition to providing all preventive and corrective maintenance on the existing equipment. As part of this contract, 15 ADT technicians were factory-trained and certified on all Software House equipment and software.

ADT has also provided access control, CCTV, digital recording, and other security equipment as a subcontractor to prime construction and electrical contractors at Washington Dulles. ADT provided access control and CCTV system components for a new pedestrian walkback tunnel as a subcontractor to Heller Electric; furnished and installed all security system components for the main terminal renovation as a subcontractor to Centex Construction; and installed access control and CCTV systems as a subcontractor to Turner Construction. The approximate value of these contracts was $ 3.8 million.

Case Study: Port of Oakland

Addressing America's Seaports

Situation After September 11th, the federal government declared port security an even higher priority and hurried to make funds available for security system upgrades. The Port of Oakland, one of the nation's strategic seaports, was among the first to receive security grants to improve the security of its facilities. In addition, several port tenants also received grants to support security enhancements to specific terminals or tenant security programs. The Port is made up of seven active container terminals and two intermodal rail facilities that move nearly 23 million metric revenue tons of food and materials between the United States and its international trading partners, Hawaii and U.S. Trust Territories.

Solution The Port of Oakland received proposals from contractors nationwide, with bids ranging from a low of $10.9 million to a high of nearly $22 million, significantly above its available budget. In April 2003, the Port of Oakland signed a $4.75 million maritime security enhancement contract with ADT® Security Services, Inc. To meet the security needs within the established budget, ADT developed an integrated security solution including automated access control, video surveillance, perimeter intrusion detection and an integrated communications infrastructure. Not only would ADT be providing the security systems, the team would be responsible for system maintenance, electronic access control enhancements and other sole source system expansions. The proposed system met all of the Federal Homeland Security criteria and commenced implementation shortly thereafter.

Implementation ADT recruited Tyco sister company, Earth Tech, an industry leader and global provider of engineering, architecture, environmental, infrastructure development and facility operation services, to perform all of the construction management tasks. The team analyzed requirements and eliminated 31 miles of trenching through the use of an encrypted wireless network. This system schedule would save the Port millions of dollars in labor and expenses and reduce the possibility of terminal operation disruption during the installation process.

Results The new baseline security management system includes firewalls, password-protected commands and control capabilities through a remote web-enabled management system for Port terminals. The integrated system will help ensure secure and fast communication among a variety of agencies in the event of an emergency. "Maintaining the safety and security of Port workers and visitors, and the integrity of our seaport operations are of paramount importance," said Tay Yoshitani, executive director of the Port of Oakland. "This contract provides us an exciting opportunity to harness ADT's renowned experience and professionalism and the latest technologies available to deliver a superior integrated security operation at our maritime terminals."

Case Study: Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

Providing integrated access control, intrusion detection and fire systems to a chain of underground stations

Situation With 83 stations and 103 miles of track, the Washington, D.C. MetroRail system is often hailed as one of the finest in the country. Serving some of the national capital's most important government facilities, including the Pentagon, MetroRail required a number of security enhancements in the aftermath of 9/11. A multi-million dollar grant was made available through the federal government to fund an upgrade.

Solution The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) selected ADT to provide integrated intrusion detection, access control and fire alarm systems in a majority of the underground stations. David Couch, director of infrastructural renewal for WMATA, said ADT was chosen because the company offered the best integrated security products and programs to meet MetroRail's needs.

Implementation ADT installed panels that integrated intrusion detection, access control and fire alarm technologies within MetroRail stations in 2003. The integrated system provides a single interface that is very cost efficient and easy to use. The system provides perimeter and internal protection as well as tracking of access to critical areas. Currently in development is the centralized command center that will provide monitoring for the entire system.

Case Study: Citizens Bank Case Study

Standardizing security into a Bank-managed security solution

Situation Following several years of growth through acquisitions, Citizens Bank, a Top 20 commercial Bank headquartered in Providence, R.I. with more than $70 billion in assets, found itself with inherited and oftentimes incompatible security systems throughout its network of 1,400 retail branches and ATM locations. At one point, especially after the Citizens acquisition in 2001 of Mellon Bank, the Bank was dealing with a number of security vendors providing multiple branch alarm panels and monitoring services. This contributed to higher than planned security costs, varying levels of service and support, and an unproductive environment for its security and branch personnel.

Solution ADT teamed with Citizens Bank, an institution undergoing substantial growth, by designing a Bank-managed security command center to monitor and report all of its branch alarm activities and by upgrading and standardizing the Bank's network of alarm panels.

Implementation Over the course of five years, Citizens Bank went from relying on the ADT National Monitoring Center to the ADT-designed Mastermind branch alarm monitoring and reporting system ? open architecture technology designed to communicate with ADT's, as well as with other industry standard alarm panels. In phase one, ADT converted the alarm panels of all former Mellon branches to the new Citizens Bank specification. In phase two, ADT converted the balance of the Bank's 855 branches throughout the Northeast to this same security standard. As part of the standardization, ADT also incorporated a new network access control system of over 500 card readers to tighten security for the Bank's 25 non-retail locations, including data centers and headquarter facilities.

Results ADT developed a solution that communicates on the Bank's network, both improving security and lowering overall security costs for Citizens Bank. Consequently, the Bank controls the management and alarm reporting of its security operations, ensuring more consistent end user operation and achieving lower false alarm rates. Most importantly, Citizens Bank has a security system capable of keeping pace with the Bank's growth plans. "As we have grown through acquisitions, ADT has helped us streamline our security management, supporting us with a national account program and a service delivery infrastructure that mirrors our growing footprint," said Paul Gvazdauskas, Vice President, Corporate .

Case Study: Martin State Airport

Video surveillance and access control at a General Aviation Facility

Situation While security at commercial-service airports receives a great deal of attention from the public and the media, General Aviation (GA) airports are seen by some political and security experts as more susceptible to terrorist infiltration because there are no federal security mandates for these facilities. But just as larger airports are ramping up their security systems, GA facilities ? which serve private, business and military aircraft ? are assessing their risks. One of those is Martin State Airport, located nine miles east of downtown Baltimore, Maryland, and less than 50 miles from Washington, D.C. In addition to its proximity to the nation's capital, Martin State Airport is also home to the Maryland Air National Guard, making access control a high priority for the airport's operator, the Maryland Aviation Administration.

Solution Martin State Airport called on the ADT Federal Systems Aviation team in 2002 to provide both a CCTV and card-verification system to help create a more secure environment for the aircraft and workers operating at the facility. ADT's aviation security professionals proposed an ADT Select Entry access control system. The system not only supports a number of card-reader technologies, but also includes a fingerprint pad for an added level of verification. The airport's perimeter and other vulnerable areas were further protected by a phalanx of high-tech security cameras.

Implementation In total, ADT installed a CCTV system, a system administrator's station (with monitors, a switcher/controller, motion-detection software and a digital recorder), a security guard booth monitoring station, and a datavideo communications system that integrates the two stations seamlessly into the airport's fiber optic network. ADT Select Entry allows access control at key portals to help provide that only those authorized to enter may do so.

Results Martin State Airport is beginning to see results by implementing the systems. ADT Select Entry assures control of personnel access. The CCTV system helps enhance physical security of the facility and contributes to airside operations monitoring and safety. In addition to its security protection, the CCTV system has already saved the airport millions of dollars in potential aircraft damage claims. After a February storm dumped 20 inches of snow on the airport, a hangar camera, monitored in the security guard booth, alerted officials to a collapsing hangar roof and the need to evacuate the aircraft. Martin State Airport officials are very pleased with the fine performance of its new security system.

Case Study: Carter Brothers

Strategic alliance partners Carter Brothers and ADT team up to provide project management services

Situation Today's evolving security climate and the increasing potential for disruption have changed the way companies think about security. The renewed focus over the past few years on property, asset and employee protection has companies big and small turning to ADT to help them meet the security needs dictated by the changing times. While ADT values its role as the industry leader, it also takes pride in the relationships and partnerships it establishes to ensure customer satisfaction. ADT partners with carefully selected companies ? strategic alliance partners ? which it can utilize for specific applications within its ongoing security projects. As an example, a manufacturer wanted to modify its facility to electronically control the work environment and secure employees while reducing physical guard force. The company selected ADT to install an integrated system that would allow them to manage and secure its buildings, but needed its new security system to be up and running within a short amount of time.

Solution To meet the time requirements, ADT enlisted Carter Brothers, LLC, headquartered in Atlanta, to provide onsite project management and staffing and keep the project on schedule. Carter Brothers, a company formed by brothers Cris and John F. Carter, is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE). Carter Brothers provides ADT project/program management, consulting services, marketing support and a national syndicate of pre-qualified subcontractors. The strategic alliance between ADT and Carter Brothers, which incorporates components of a mentor and protege relationship, has become an integral complement to ADT's internal installation workforce.

Implementation Just after the manufacturer signed the contract, the installation service provider hired by Carter Brothers was onsite to evaluate the situation. This allowed work to commence within a scheduled two-week employee holiday break. Despite the campus size, the contractors integrated the ADT-designed security system into one console room that housed closed circuit television (CCTV), fire alarm, access control and the building management system. This enabled management to control the interior and exterior of the facility by viewing all security cameras simultaneously. A system was also added to control the entrance and egress of the company's employees.

Results Carter Brothers completed the project on time and within budget. The facility now provides a safer environment for employees, improved loss prevention mechanisms and enhanced security for the facility's remote geographic area. Subsequently, ADT enlisted Carter Brothers to work on two additional sites for the same manufacturer using the location as the model.

Case Study: RFID

Inventory management and asset visibility

Situation RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is emerging as one of the most valuable tools for tracking, counting and locating goods anywhere from the point of manufacture to the point-of-sale  and beyond. RFID can address specific supply chain needs including verification of shipments sent or received, automatic location of content-specific merchandise and more accurate restocking. Major U.S. retailers and consumer product companies have made the commitment to implement RFID tagging in the supply chain by 2005. A growing number of manufacturers and retailers are beginning to recognize RFID as an industry-wide need and are accelerating their own planned investments in the technology.

Solution Major retailers and manufacturers are turning to ADT® Security Services to benefit from its experience and integration capabilities. ADT offers a full range of products and services needed to execute turnkey RFID-based solutions, including readers, tags and integration software. Its RFID solutions seamlessly complement electronic article surveillance (EAS), digital video and access control products to take technology advancement to the next level. ADT provides flexible, modular solutions that work with industry-recognized open standards. RFID products include portable, handheld RFID readers, proven to decrease labor time associated with physical inventory counts by up to

80%.

Implementation As the only company to work with RFID frequencies at all levels, including high, ultra-high frequency (UHF) and microwave, ADT provides significant added value in meeting the needs of its customers throughout the supply chain. When applying technology like RFID, it is reassuring to have a provider that anticipates issues, uses proven techniques to get maximum system performance and has the ability to make products easier to use.

Results ADT has allocated significant resources for the development and delivery of RFID solutions and is committed to providing solutions that are modular, flexible and compatible with its customers' existing technology infrastructures. ADT provides EAS solutions to more than

80% of the world's top 100 retailers and its commitment to RFID is part of its investment in developing solutions that work with industry standards, allowing users to develop and expand capabilities as technology evolves.

Case Study: Specialty Retailers

Implement video auditing to tackle shrinkage

Situation No specialty retailer is immune from shrinkage. Inventory shrinkage, a combination of employee theft, shoplifting, vendor fraud and administrative error, cost U.S. retailers over $31 billion last year, according to the latest National Retail Security Survey report on retail theft, that analyzed theft incidents from 118 of the largest U.S. retail chains. Specialty retailers are looking for ways to deal with shrinkage by finding a cost-effective security solution to better control their potential for losses.

Solution The ADT® Select Vision auditing program is an ideal protection package to assist specialty retailers in tackling the shrinkage issue. A total integrated video services solution, ADT's Select Vision system and the accompanying auditing software, provided by Arrowsight, allows ADT to measure store compliance by performing audits and providing a score to store management based on multiple factors. The hard data, supplied daily, illustrates the performance of a store and enables the retailer to take proactive actions before a compliance issue becomes disruptive or problematic. To corroborate ADT findings, management can view the secure video at any time, from any computer with Internet access. ADT's industry-leading digital recording technology enables automatic storage and the ability to search archived images quickly and easily.

Implementation ADT Select Vision enables retailers to proactively utilize the system to perform process verification audits such as POS exceptions, monitor receiving door activity and employee access, backroom inventory procedures, and tracking inventory counts on high-value merchandise.

Results By implementing ADT Select Vision, a specialty retailer can cut costs and increase revenue, resulting in a solid return on investment. This customized security solution significantly reduces shrinkage by allowing a retailer's management team ? at the corporate, regional and store level ? to anticipate loss vulnerabilities before they become unmanageable.

News Article: Eye scanners part of security boost; Colonie Equipment to identify airport staff before allowing access to restricted areas

The Albany (N.Y.) Times Union, August 5, 2003, Page B4

Albany International Airport is installing new, futuristic staff security equipment that will scan workers' eyes to confirm who they are before allowing them into restricted areas.

The new scanners are part of a $255,000 program that will include upgrades to the airport's other security equipment and software. A Federal Aviation Administration grant will contribute $198,900 toward the cost of the equipment and installation from Tyco-ADT.

"It is nonintrusive, and it is not harmful to people," acting Chief Executive Officer John O'Donnell said of the biometric technology, which he said can "read" the distinctive pattern of an eye's colored iris and determine whether it matches the record on file for that person.

There will be three Iris Recognition Stations set up for airport staff only, O'Donnell said.

The enhanced security systems for staff come at a time when the airport's federal security screeners are stepping up scrutiny of some small passenger items in response to heightened concerns about potential hijackings.

Paul Varville, the federal Transportation Security Administration director at Albany International, said the change follows new warnings that terrorists may be planning to disguise explosives or weapons inside routine electronic items.

"What we do, when we get these kinds of alerts, is we give more thorough screenings to things such as cameras and laptop computers," Varville said. "We've always looked at these items, but now we are looking at them more carefully, as of last week."

Here's how it gets bought:

Actually, there was a hiring freeze for part of the second and all of the third quarter. There were no new reps brought on board during this time. That's why ADT U was not performing new rep classes. They've been back on for a month now. It's MANDATORY that all new reps go through the training program including the ADT U classes. We are sick of turning over reps because dumbass local managers make poor decisions.
