ADT home security systems are backed by more than 145 years of experience. As the leader in home security, ADT can help you customize a home security system with easy-to-use equipment and special security features to meet your safety needs. We have service centers nationwide that can install an ADT home security system within 24 hours in most areas. Once your home is equipped with our top-of-the-line system, it is connected to a network of ADT Monitoring Centers nationwide which deliver non-stop security monitoring 365 days a year. All of our installation technicians are internal employees, and not third-party contractors. You can count on your Security Advisor to take the time to set up your system properly, help you understand how the system works, and help make sure your home and family are thoroughly protected.

"The alarm, when it goes off, is very loud!!! This is a good thing. If we ever need to activate it, it will definitely scare off anyone trying to come into our home. We can set it off from our phone or from the keyboard control panel that we installed in our bedroom. We feel very safe with this purchase."

"I’ve had nothing but problems with SafeStreets. The installation was a mess—took hours longer than promised, and the technician seemed clueless about the system. When I called customer service, they were rude and unhelpful. The security system itself is glitchy and keeps going offline. Definitely not worth the hassle."

"The install of the burglary system went fine. The complaint is the facilitator (Eric Schoonover of Secure24 Alarms) promised to include smoke/fire monitoring but did not. He has been unresponsive about how to resolve this problem. His attitude seems to be "So what? There's nothing you can do about it now."."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Yes, many installations offer mobile and cloud-based access for real-time monitoring.

Smart light switches are designed to work with traditional switch wiring, so they should work within your home. However, you will need a Wi-Fi connection to use them properly. Older models may use different connection standards like ZigBee, which must be supported to control them.

Yes, you can use both presence and motion detectors in your home. They serve different purposes—presence detectors are great for smart home integration, ensuring lights come on (and stay on) when you enter a room. Motion detectors excel at security, alerting you to unexpected movement. By combining them, you’ll create the best of both worlds, smart comfort and solid security.

Options include wired, wireless, and smart systems with features like cameras, motion sensors, and remote monitoring.

A smart lock is a variation of a traditional lock, and since it uses similar locking mechanisms, it’s technically not any safer. The difference is that a smart lock requires a login instead of a physical key. Some smart locks have added safety features, like shutting down after too many attempts with the wrong code. Some smart locks are considered harder to pick than traditional locks, which can further deter intruders.
