Protect your home and family with a residential security system from ADR Security?
A home burglar alarm system in this day and age is a must. Having the system designed correctly by experts is essential. ADR Security has over 25 years experiece designing both home buglar security systems and commercial security systems. With ADR you'll get highly skilled installers and monitoring and the best customer service in and around the San Antonio area.
Besides smoke and fire and other life safety protection, the facts are clear when it comes to break-ins:
Homes without systems are about 3 times more likely to be broken into than homes with security systems. (Actual statistic ranges from 2.3 times to 3.1 times, depending on the value of the home.)1
An alarm reduces the liklihood of burglary by about 30% of no protection. 3
An alarm by itself is more effective than any two other protective measures combined. Protective measures are: deterrent measures - to create the illusion that someone is home; managerial measures - asking the police/neighbors to check on your house; preventative measures - dead-bolt locks, etc., and detection measures - transmitting a signal that a burglary attempt or actual entry has occurred. 3
The superiority of the alarm as a single measure of protection is consistent across all profiles of residential units. (i.e., in expensive and inexpensive homes, in isolated and non-isolated residential units, and whether the residence is close to or remote from a highway exit). 3
85% of police chiefs surveyed have encouraged the installation of electronic security systems. 4

Life Safety
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is odorless and deadly. It’s produced by incomplete combustion and can be produced by improperly working gas powered devices like furnaces, stoves, heaters, hot tubs etc. The carbon monoxide communicator ties your security system to monitors for carbon monoxide.
Fire, Heat & Smoke Detection
Fire is the worst intruder of all. ADR security systems come equipped to monitor specialized heat and smoke communicators. These heat and smoke communicators are wired into your security system and monitor, temperature, rate of rise of temperature and smoke and flames. When they detect a fire, whether the system is armed or not, they’ll immediately activate the alarm notifying the central station of the emergency.
