“Several times when we are too slow to disarm, it triggers the alarm and immediately we get a call both to my land phone and cell phone. Very efficient. And they also acknowledge when it was corrected. Thanks for your constant watch.”

“The technician came on the window time schedule. He fixed the problem in no time at all. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. Nice to converse with. The problem was with my rear camera not working. The problem was fixed by updating the firmware.”

San Jose, CA Service Area & Local Process
The ADT San Jose branch provides professional installation of the ADT Smart Home System throughout Santa Clara County and surrounding areas, including Santa Clara, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Milpitas, and Campbell. Installation times depend on the home, system configuration, equipment selected, and installation conditions.
San Jose sits in earthquake country near the Calaveras and Hayward faults, and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains and Diablo Range raise wildfire risk during dry, windy stretches, which can also trigger Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and water sensors are practical additions for San Jose homes, supporting early notifications for fire and water damage. The ADT Smart Home System includes backup battery power to help keep the system powered during a power outage. If internet service is disrupted, cellular backup may help keep the system connected to ADT monitoring, as long as you have an active ADT monitoring plan and cellular service is available.
