Activating an ADT System

If your new office or store location included an ADT security system when you moved in, activating your previously installed ADT security system is easy. We will schedule an appointment to review your current security system, as your needs may not be the same as the previous business that occupied your space. In most cases, we can reconnect you within just a few days; some locations may be activated immediately.

 

Activating another brand system

If you would like to activate another brand system that is not being monitored, ADT can evaluate the system prior to arranging activation. This allows us to serve you better because we know the type and condition of the system. You can select a convenient time for this evaluation.

If your business is moving, please contact Customer Care at (800) ADT-ASAP to speak with our Business Relocation group

Keeping businesses secure is very important. We do not want to see any business without protection. We would like to speak with the new business owner to see if there is a need for protection at this new location.
