What to know about adt security systems

Alina bradford is a technology and internet safety and security expert for safewise.Com and has contributed her insights to dozens of national publications, both in print and online. Her goal is to make gadgets less mystifying, one article at a time. There’s a new adt app in town, and it’s called the adt+ app, which was first announced at the consumer electronics show 2023. One nifty feature of the panic button is the recessed button itself. Thanks to this, it’s not prone to accidental “butt dials” and false alarms.

With scalable packages to suit anything from a home or small business to an expanding enterprise, adt has equipment and the experience to keep your property covered. Keep an eye on things even when you're away from home with indoor/outdoor cameras and video doorbells. From door, window and motion sensors to mobile apps and cameras, we'll build the perfect alarm system for your home. The new adt smart business hub embodies safer meets smarter. This intelligent business intruder alarm panel uses its 7” high-definition touchscreen and 5mp camera to put you in control of your organisation’s security.

Fire, carbon monoxide and medical alert services are an additional charge. 36-month monitoring contract required from $49.99 per month, ($1,799.64), including quality service plan . Additional charges may apply in areas that require guard response service for municipal alarm verification.

We’ve mentioned a bunch of advanced control options for adt systems earlier (app, touchscreen panel, voice, etc.), but adt supports more traditional control options as well. One example was the keychain remote that came with our adt system. Adt requires a three-year contract, while frontpoint lets customers go with month-to-month contracts. Frontpoint’s starting packages are more affordable as well.

However, we found the live chat feature to be superior over the phone line in terms of how quickly we got our answers. Otherwise, the two companies are evenly matched in what types of security devices and services they offer. Also, brinks and adt both require a three-year contract and offer wired and wireless systems. Adt has introduced a new security system, dubbed the adt self setup, which is a diy-installed but professionally monitored wireless security system.

It’s not typical to charge for app access in the home security industry, and to be honest, we find it offputting. App access seems like something that should be included with all packages. If you’re going to go with adt, you’ll get better value with one of the more expensive plans. If you’re burglarized while your adt system is armed, adt may pay up to $500 toward your homeowners insurance deductible if your situation meets certain conditions. You should think about including two-way voice and cellguard in your security package. Two-way voice lets you talk to an adt monitoring representative through the control panel, even from up to 75 feet away.

This comes in handy if you fall, or if there is an intruder and you can’t reach the panel to press the emergency button. Cellguard is a wireless system connects to the monitoring center with a cellular uplink. This can be particularly helpful during a natural disaster when landlines are down or jammed.
