Pros, Cons, & History of the Big Blue Giant ADT with Reviews<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2023 Update. <\/strong><\/span><\/span>Before home security systems existed, ADT hired guards that securely transferred money for banks and businesses. Fast forward 145 years and they are now the largest home security company with over 7 million active customers. <\/span>What do we like? <\/span><\/i>ADT reviews<\/a> have stayed true to their core business of home security while several others ventured off into the internet, solar or TV space.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s new for 2023?<\/span><\/i> Better home automation and updates to their mobile control app.  They are staying on top of home automation and continuing to innovate in this space. They have also acquired Protection One and merged those customers into one brand.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are the Features of ADT Home Security?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a wide range of home security system installed by Protect Your Home and monitored by ADT Home Security systems. Below are some of the ADT features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landline or Cellular<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many home alarm system and monitoring services only provide cellular connections for emergency monitoring. Although cellular is the most reliable, some signals are not available in some areas thus a solid backup is a necessity. ADT monitoring is one of the few industry leaders that monitors through cellular and landline. With ADT, you can silently contact ADT, and we will silently call 911 on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet-Friendly Motion Sensor<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ADT motion sensors detect indoor motion using infrared motion sensors. To prevent false alarms activated by pets, the motion sensors can be set to overlook weights up 50 pounds. ADT motion detector sensitivity can be adjusted based on the size of your pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flood, Fire, Water and Gas Leak Detection<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For overall home safety, ADT offers monitoring devices that detect gas and water leaks, carbon monoxide<\/a>, smoke<\/a>, and excessive heat. With an ADT sensor, when it detects a leak, you can receive instant notifications on your smart devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video Surveillance<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ADT Home Security cameras monitors can be used for indoor surveillance. With the ADT Pulse and Video, security videos can be live streamed to a smart mobile device using the ADT mobile app. ADT indoor surveillance cameras can detect important events, view 1080p HD video quality images even in low-light conditions, and send smart alert notifications when detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated Home System<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ADT pulse interactive automated systems can help users lower energy costs and enhance security and convenience by automating thermostats, house lights, and door locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Consider When Buying ADT Home Security?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • ADT does a hard credit check.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ADT Pulse is not a full Z-Wave implementation and only works with sensors and smoke detectors from ADT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ADT rents out its equipment; its price is included in the ADT home security monthly cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ADT home security cost more than some of its competitions and locks a customer into a three-year contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It\u2019s also best to directly deal with ADT or to an authorized dealer with a BBB seal. Do your research, read customer reviews regarding the product and the dealer because ADT customer support and features will vary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
