Question: Can security experts break anybodys door adt alarm system by reprogramming it
and making the system useless or control it remotely ?
Answer:It's far more likely that a thief would attempt to disable the system
locally than try to hack it remotely. ADT uses a special version of
the remote DLL software used to remotely program alarm panels.
Occassionaly you'll see someone here ask for a copy and be told that
there aren't any. AFAIK, there aren't any copies floating around out
there and you can't reprogram an ADT panel remotely without it. I
would be much more concerned with the possibility that the link to the
monitoring center could be compromised. That's why the most secure
systems like those that protect government secrets and bank vaults
typically use some type of line security; a feature typically not
found on run-of-the-mill alarm systems. At a minimum, you should at
least use some type of wireless communications device as a
communications back-up.
