Frequently Asked Questions
Tattletale® Pro is a completely wireless, portable security system that installs in under 30 seconds—no technicians, drilling, or wiring required. ADT Commercial systems, by contrast, are hardwired or hybrid setups that can take days to install and usually require permits and professional service visits. The cost difference is substantial: ADT Commercial installations often run $1,000–$5,000+ upfront, with monitoring fees of $50–$100 per month tied to long-term contracts. tattletale Pro, on the other hand, costs under $2,000 total and requires no contracts or service commitments. Monitoring is available month-to-month from $40–$70, depending on whether you want alerts only or full police/fire dispatch. The system covers up to 200 acres with wireless sensors, runs on a dedicated cellular connection, and sends alerts in 0.3 seconds—so even if power or internet is cut, tattletale keeps your site protected without the high cost or constraints of traditional commercial systems.
Tattletale is a fully portable, all-in-one security system with a built-in motion detector, siren, and strobe light—no wiring, drilling, or professional installation required. Traditional alarm systems, by contrast, rely on multiple components (panels, keypads, sensors) that must be hardwired or permanently mounted, often taking days to install and requiring professional service. tattletale connects instantly through a dedicated cellular link—not Wi-Fi or phone lines—so it continues working even if power or internet is cut. It’s Ambush-Proof, meaning if anyone tries to move or disable it, the system instantly sends an alert and sounds the siren. Traditional systems can sometimes be disabled if panels or lines are accessed. tattletale also requires no long-term contracts; professional monitoring is available month-to-month, while traditional systems typically lock customers into 3–5 year agreements. In short, tattletale delivers faster setup, greater flexibility, and higher reliability—without the complexity or commitments of traditional alarms.
Yes, it works as a local siren even without monitoring. The device will still sound its 95-115 dB alarm and flash its strobe when motion is detected. However, you won’t receive remote alerts or professional monitoring without a subscription.
Yes, tattletale has a built-in rechargeable battery that provides 40+ hours of backup power. This is longer than most competing systems.
Absolutely! That’s one of tattletale Pro’s biggest advantages. When a project wraps up or your crew relocates, you can simply unplug the unit and move it to the next site—no technicians, rewiring, or reconfiguration needed. It works anywhere with cellular coverage and can be redeployed in minutes, making it perfect for construction, temporary facilities, or any operation that changes locations frequently.
