Your smoke detector will have both wired and wireless options. You can customize it to your needs and security system.
ADT-monitored smoke detector
Breathe easy knowing we're helping to protect you at all times
The ADT-Monitored Heat Sensing Smoke Detector stands guard night and day to help protect your home and family from fire. Whether you’re home or away, ADT will send emergency services immediately to help minimize property damage and give you time to get your loved ones to safety.
Here’s how it works
There are two main types of home smoke detectors: ionization and photoelectric. An ionization smoke alarm (the kind ADT monitors) detects smoke when it disrupts the ionizing radiation occurring in the device.
A photoelectric smoke detector is triggered when smoke obstructs the light beam in the sensor.
Double the protection
ADT monitored smoke alarms provide dual-sensor heat detection: rate-of-rise and fixed-heat sensors.
The rate-of-rise sensor will trigger the smoke detector when rapid spikes in temperature occur in your home. The fixed-heat sensor will set off the alarm when the temperature in your home reaches 177° Fahrenheit.
Help ensure your pets stay safe
Fido and Fluffy are family too. But they can’t get to safety on their own. In case of fire, your smoke detector will communicate with your security system and notify one of ADT’s six monitoring centers. They will then alert your local fire department.
1/2
Over half of the home fire fatalities in 2012 to 2016 occurred in houses without working smoke alarms, or none entirely.
4 Reasons why ADT monitored smoke alarms are better
Heat-sensing
Dual heat sensors monitor the temperature in your home. They’ll trigger your alarm if there are sudden temperature increases or if it gets too hot.
24/7 Monitoring
ADT has your back constantly and will send emergency services for you if your smoke alarm goes off.
Notifications
You’ll be aware of the situation as soon as it happens instead of after work, or worse, when you return home from a trip.

Frequently asked questions
How do I change my ADT monitored smoke detector battery?
First, put your security system in test mode. Remove the smoke alarm by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. Switch out the batteries and replace the detector by turning clockwise. Ensure that it’s securely in place. Then, turn off test mode.
Why is my ADT monitored smoke detector beeping?
A beeping fire detector typically indicates a low battery. Change the battery as soon as possible to ensure your smoke alarm helps to protect you and your family properly. It could be time to replace the detector entirely if the beeping continues after you’ve changed the battery.
How do I turn off my ADT monitored smoke detector?
Check your specific instruction manual to learn how to operate and turn off your ADT Monitored Heat Sensing Smoke Detector.
How long does my ADT monitored smoke detector last?
Most home smoke alarms last about ten years. However, you should always check your owner’s manual for guidelines on when to get a smoke detector replacement. If you hear chirping even after putting a fresh battery in, it’s time to get a new one.
