ADT, America’s number one home security company, is launching this month called ADT Pulse. With the holiday right around the corner, this system can be a great gift for parents to give them peace of mind.

ADT Pulse can give on-the-go parents the flexibility to connect with their homes and everything in it, from almost anywhere in the world, via an iPhone/smart phone or lap top. Aside from remote access to turn on and off lights and control the temperature, other cool, fun applications include:

• Use video monitoring to check in on what’s happening at home and stay connected with your family even when you are away at work.
• Remotely turn appliances on and off, from the coffee pot to your curling iron with your smart phone.
• Receive email or text alerts, along with real-time video, of packages being delivered or when your children come home from school.
• Sensor your liquor and/or medicine cabinets so you will get a text alert if they were opened by your children.
• Turn on the crock pot so you will have a warm meal ready when you get home.

The best part, ADT Pulse can be added to most existing ADT security systems and the monthly costs are comparable (starting at $46.99/month).
