Head-to-Head Home Security Comparison<\/span><\/h2>\n

You have knocked down the competition to red versus blue.\u00a0\u00a0Both are good companies with proven track records and shorter term agreements compared other companies demanding 60 month contracts. \u00a0You can easily move nationwide with either and they both give a generous starting package. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are they so different then? \u00a0<\/em>Primarily it comes down to installation.<\/p>\n

\"protect<\/p>\n

Protect America box opening shown – self install security<\/em><\/p>\n

Protect America is easy peel and stick technology (DIY security<\/a>) where the equipment gets shipped to you. \u00a0It comes activated and installation is done typically under one hour. \u00a0When installing it ourselves for this review, it wasn’t as big of an undertaking as we initially thought it would be.<\/p>\n

With ADT users get it installed by a professional technician<\/em><\/p>\n

Users looking into doing security cameras may want to use ADT so a professional can install it. \u00a0By doing a self-install, users save $99+. \u00a0However, if you are the average person and don’t want to screw anything up especially when it comes to a home security system<\/a> then ADT is your choice with a professional tech installing it for you.<\/p>\n

You will realize the two is price, convenience and add on’s such as home automation gadgets. \u00a0ADT Pulse has more home energy saving options and equipment (read about it here<\/a>). \u00a0With that being said let’s get into the details.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Package<\/h2>\n

Who has the Better Deal?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Assuming you choose the average package with either company then you will be paying around $45\/month. \u00a0You will get a few more security devices (window sensors, motion) with Protect America in any package. \u00a0Protect America runs promotions more frequently. <\/span><\/p>\n

Promos:<\/span> \u00a0$850 of Equipment with ADT<\/a> <\/span>\u00a0— \u00a0Up to $1400 with Protect America<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

With both companies you will get a full starting package of window & door sensors, panel and motion detector as well as free smart device control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect America security system control via smartphone app<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ADT Pulse app shown on iOS device<\/em><\/p>\n

You can turn on and off either security system with any smart phone with either company. \u00a0ADT has their own app named Pulse. \u00a0This controls the system from any smart device. \u00a0Protect America uses a 3rd party app called Alarm.com (dozens of companies do) and it works great but lacks the features that the Pulse app has.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect America currently does not offer smart thermostats and other energy saving devices that Pulse’s system does. \u00a0They have integrated with Alexa and you can control your system using that device. \u00a0Both give you notifications and you can see\u00a0what’s going on at your home through cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use these pictures to\u00a0decide for yourself whose equipment you would want in your house. \u00a0They both use the same manufacturer for majority of equipment (GE) but overall ADT has newer gadgets whereas PA is still using the SimonXT panel<\/del>\u00a0that has been around for years<\/del> (have now upgraded to touchscreen). \u00a0There are additional touchscreen panels you can add for convenience throughout the residence.<\/span><\/p>\n

OurFinal Verdict Between these Two Companies<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0The blue and white sign is known by millions and they have a history that is hard to beat. \u00a0But if there was ever a true contender then Protect America is that company. \u00a0A healthy history and A- BBB rating, they know what they are doing in this industry.\u00a0Stay away from ma and pa shops as they often go out of business or sell out and your monthly monitoring costs increase. \u00a0Let us know who you are going to choose or have any questions for our experts below.<\/span><\/p>\n
