Security Showdown: Which Blue & White Company is the Best?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, you couldn’t get logo colors to match any better than these two companies have.  Dark blue and white with bold font lettering.  But we are guessing you didn’t come to this site to learn about the differences of their logos.  Even though ADT has been around decades longer than Monitronics, Monitronics carries an old vibe to the company.  Millennials and those under the age of 50 are going with companies like ADT or Frontpoint<\/a>.  These are two MEGA home security companies, both with millions of customers throughout the United States and internationally.  So how do you go about slimming down the choice to choose one or the other?  We will break down the prices, history, and crown the victor in this comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who has the Better Security Equipment?<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ADT has its proprietary Pulse system which wins hands down.  They have their own app that controls the system, energy savings, smart thermostat and more.  Monitronics did upgrade their panel to a touchscreen 2gig technologies in 2015 and use the 3rd party app ‘Alarm.com’ to control the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both companies will give you the standard setup with door and window sensors, 1-2 Motion sensors, and a control panel that connects wireless to your phone.  Adding cameras and automation features will add $10-15 to your monthly bill or you may be able to buy the add-ons for a one-time fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
