How ADT monitoring systems work
Monitored alarm systems combine intelligent detection with structured monitoring through a Central Receiving Station (CRA).
Rather than relying solely on basic motion alerts, systems are designed to identify relevant events and trigger a verified alarm process.
How the system operates
- Detection devices identify movement or intrusion
- Signals are transmitted to the CRA
- Events are assessed using system data and where installed, video verification
- A structured response is initiated based on the alert
What makes AI detection different
Traditional alarm systems trigger alerts based on movement alone.
AI-enabled systems use intelligent analysis to identify real intrusion events, distinguishing between people, animals and environmental movement.
This allows alerts to be prioritised and verified more accurately before a response is initiated.
Integration with CRA monitoring
Once an event is detected, the system connects directly to a CRA where operators assess the alert and follow a structured response process.
This allows alarm events to be handled without requiring immediate user involvement.
Who ADT monitored alarm systems are suitable for
ADT monitored systems are designed for properties where a structured, managed response is preferred.
They are particularly suited to properties where the owner is not always available to assess and respond to alerts.
Common use cases include:
- Second homes and holiday properties
- Villas with external areas and multiple access points
- Properties left unoccupied for extended periods
- Owners based outside Spain
- Clients who prefer a managed monitoring approach
Why this matters
For these property types, relying solely on mobile alerts may not always be practical.
A monitored system provides:
- Continuous oversight through CRA monitoring
- Structured verification of alarm events
- Coordinated response without immediate user action
Installation and system coordination
Installation of monitored alarm systems using ADT infrastructure is carried out locally by authorised partners, primarily through Altaico Seguridad.
Active Alarms SL (Alarm Systems Spain ) acts as the central coordination point throughout the process.
What this involves
- Property assessment and system recommendation
- Coordination with installation technicians
- System configuration and CRA connection
- Testing and activation
English-speaking coordination
Alarm Systems Spain provides:
- English-speaking communication throughout
- Coordination between client and installation teams
- Support through setup and activation
- Ongoing assistance where required
How the process is managed
The process is handled as a single coordinated service rather than requiring the client to manage multiple providers.
This ensures:
- Clear communication
- Alignment between installation and monitoring
- A smoother transition from enquiry to active system
How the system is delivered and supported
A monitored alarm system is not just equipment. It involves installation, configuration and ongoing coordination to ensure reliable operation.
Structured system setup
Each system is configured based on property requirements, ensuring that detection, monitoring and verification are aligned from the outset.
Local authorised installation
Installation and system setup are carried out locally by authorised ADT partners, ensuring compliance with monitoring and certification requirements.
Continuous CRA monitoring
Systems are connected to a Central Receiving Station (CRA), providing 24/7 monitoring, structured verification and coordinated response.
English-speaking coordination
Active Alarms SL coordinates the entire process, working directly with installation partners and monitoring services to ensure everything is aligned.

- Standard monthly cost from approximately €42/month thereafter
- Installation and setup typically included, depending on configuration
Final pricing depends on property requirements.
Request ADT monitored system consultation
For clients ready to proceed with a monitored alarm system, a consultation can be arranged to confirm system configuration, installation and monitoring setup.
- Confirmation of suitable system configuration
- Explanation of monitoring and contract structure
- Coordination with installation and monitoring providers
- Scheduling of installation where appropriate

Monitored vs self-managed alarm systems
Monitored and self-managed alarm systems operate differently, and the most suitable option depends on how the property is used and how alarm events are handled.
| System Type | Best Suited For | How Alerts Are Handled |
|---|---|---|
| Self-managed alarm systems | Owners who prefer direct control and are available to receive and manage alerts themselves | Notifications are sent directly to the user via mobile app, with the owner responsible for assessing and responding to events |
| Monitored alarm systems (CRA connected) | Second homes, rental properties, or owners not permanently based in Spain | Alarm signals are sent to a Central Receiving Station (CRA) for verification and coordinated response |
For properties that are unoccupied for extended periods, or where the owner is not available to respond to alerts, monitored systems provide a more structured approach to alarm handling.
Self-managed systems remain suitable where the user is able to receive and assess alerts directly.
