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 Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

"10/30/2019 work was performed to install one antenna, one pre-amplifier and 12 Volt DC transformer with power inserter. Initially antenna performed as expected. I don't know the exact date, but I think it was approximately 12/23/2019 that I wasn't getting very good reception. In fact I wasn't even receiving channel 13 at all. I eventually checked the power supply and power injector and determined that the Ktec AC adapter (power supply) Model: KA12D120030033U had stopped working. I decided to relocate another antenna that I had originally installed in my attic. I relocated it to a lower portion of my antenna tower. I received a strong signal on all local channels. I brought the non-working transformer to Prime Time Video on Friday 12/27/2019 and requested a replacement. I was told by the Service Manager that they didn't have one in stock and he would try to get one from one of their service vehicles or order one. He said he would call me on Monday 12/30/2019 to let me know the status. He didn't call me. Tuesday 12/31/2019 I stopped in to inquire about a replacement Power supply that I was told I would receive. I was surprised and disappointed. I'll try to quote as accurately as possible . The service manager brought me the defective power supply that their technician installed and laid it on the counter. He said "We did not install this and have never installed this brand"!? I told the service manager that YES they did install it and then he quickly did an about face and left the counter and returned to the back room. Then a second employee approached the counter and I quietly explained what had transpired and eventually left the store."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value for the money, including replacing your front door and garage door, upgrading siding, roofing, and landscaping, and installing new windows. For interior renovations, a new coat of paint on walls provides the greatest return on investment (ROI), but upgrading appliances and major home systems like HVAC equipment will also go a long way, as buyers will see immense value in the peace of mind the new equipment provides.

Yes, adding ease of use and remote access via smartphones.

Home automation costs an average of $1,000, and most projects fall between $200 and $2,000. The total cost will depend largely on the level of automation you want in your home. High-tech, all-inclusive systems can cost well over $10,000 for larger homes, so most homeowners set a budget and then provide that to an expert to get the best results. You can also opt for DIY home automation technology for between $100 and $500, but the scope and interaction between products are usually limited.

Yes, most services include signal testing and adjustments for optimal performance.
