“We have used ADT in our home in Canada and when we bought a house down in Florida, we put it there as well. But then Hurricane Irma went through and knocked it all apart. We've moved from that house and no longer have ADT available here in our second home in Canada, because we don't have phone lines. Back then, we have cameras and a light that we can turn on and off from ADT.”

“I feel safe and we are seniors and everyone was very patience with us. Great people. I would recommend my friends and family to use ADT. They explained everything so well.”
Glen and Lisa
Fort Myers, FL
“We set our alarm and left our home for a provisions run - somehow we left the door cracked open. ADT was quick to call us, but because I didn't recognize their number I didn't answer the call. ADT then called my backup number (a friend), and my friend immediately called me. I called ADT, they canceled the police alert, I returned home and closed my door. Easy as pie! My only recommendation for ADT is to make your number known rather than having it appear as "Unknown Caller" on the phone's screen (and I have ADT saved as a contact). Regardless, thank you ADT for actually doing what you advertise. Kudos!"”

Sarasota, FL Service Area & Local Process
The ADT Sarasota branch provides professional installation of the ADT Smart Home System throughout Sarasota County and surrounding areas, including Manatee County, Bradenton, and Longboat Key, as well as Venice, Osprey, and North Port. Installation times depend on the home, system configuration, equipment selected, and installation conditions.
The Sarasota area sits in the Gulf hurricane zone, where the June-through-November season brings tropical storms, hurricanes, heavy rain, and storm surge along the bay and barrier islands. Water sensors are a practical addition for Sarasota homes, where hurricane-season flooding and storm surge create seasonal water-damage risk in coastal and key neighborhoods. 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.
