This sensor seamlessly integrates with your ADT smart security system to provide real time alerts. Ideal for high-traffic entry points, it helps keep your home secure without the need for wiring. The Premium Door/Window Sensor works by using a magnetic circuit that detects when a door or window is opened or closed.
Key features include:

Plus, your Base has a 24-hour built-in backup battery, so it can keep sending alerts during power outages. This helps to ensure continuous performance, even when the lights go out.
