Change The Code For Your ADT Alarm System.

Having an alarm system in your home or place of business can provide you with an added sense of security. However, when too many individuals have access to your alarm codes it can pose a security risk. This is especially true when you have former employees or other individuals who were assigned a code but no longer need access to it. The ADT alarm system will allow you to easily change the Master Code as well as the codes that are assigned to sub users.
