Hi there, I don’t know the name of the system as the components might have different names but over all I believe it to be called the safe watch 3000 with a pulse account. Yes the account has a pass word when you call in to verify you are who you say you are and the app has a password that is used both in it and on the web portal as well as a numeric code for the keypad of the alarm system itself. Any of these can be changed at will at any time. Robin

I am in Canada and while ADT does offer security systems here I am not sure if they have the same as in the States. In my case I would be interested in what they offer for businesses as I don’t really need a security system at home, but I do have one at my retail business. Another thing I’d be interested in is the security of the security system so to speak. Is that app protected by a password? If not anybody could disarm your system who takes your iPhone away from you. I recently spoke with a Chubb representative and he said that Chubb who is much more into commercial security and access control doesn’t yet offer anything like this for that reason and while the convenience sounds great, I’d like to know it’s save to the point that some hacker can’t gain access to it.

I had to teach my ADT salesperson who by the way is no longer employed there any more about voiceover as he didn’t even know it existed on his I device and thus couldn’t address questions regarding the accessibility of the apt when I first signed up. I’m glad to say that my misgivings based upon his lack of knowledge were unfounded and that the app is very easy with which to deal as is their web based portal for controlling the system as well. Good luck with whatever you decide. My system especially its intercoms allowing me to find out who’s at my door before its opened and the ability to control lights and the like are some of the best things on which I’ve ever spent money. robin From: Les Kriegler Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2012 10:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Home Security Systems Hi Robin, Well, this topic has just become of great interest. we have a security system from Time Warner Cable. It's a an older system, however the newer system supports an App for the iPhone. I spoke with a rep tonight and we tried out the app on the call and it appears to be VoiceOver accessible. We are going to meet with a rep soon to discuss its uses and I may either purchase the new system, or perhaps switch over to ADT, we'll see how it goes. I'm interested in the thermostat functions. I have a talking thermostat already, but I'd be interested to know if I could control that remotely.

For no longer do I have to defer to others to set up the timing of outside lights going on and off for me. I’m glad to say the app works well.
