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.

"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

"I regret ever choosing SafeStreets. The whole process was frustrating from the start. The technician who came to install the system was late, didn’t answer my questions properly, and left my house a mess. When I reached out to customer service, I was put on hold for over an hour, only to get a half-baked answer. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on property size, network complexity, and labor rates.

Home flood detection systems are worth it for the peace of mind they can provide, especially if you live in an old home with poor pipework, own a second home left unoccupied for long periods, or live in a flood-prone area. Some insurers even offer discounts to homeowners with detectors in place, helping to offset the costs.

Smart irrigation systems are more expensive than traditional sprinkler timers, and their setup can be effort-intensive for some homeowners. For instance, depending on the type of controller you choose, you may need to bury soil moisture sensors or install other equipment on-site that helps your smart sprinkler controller work. However, given their water and cost savings over time, many homeowners still consider a smart controller a worthy investment.

While smart doorbells offer security and convenience, they come with disadvantages. Most non-wired options rely on a stable internet connection, making them vulnerable to outages. The same applies to wired devices that depend on power, but most models have a backup battery. There is also the privacy issue, as these devices constantly capture video and audio around the front door, which could be a pro or con. Considering these factors is essential before moving forward with installation.

If your home security system relies on the internet for operational purposes, then there’s a chance someone could hack into it. Fortunately, the chances of hacking occurring are low, but it’s something to be aware of. Wired security cameras or cameras that store data on a local server and not a cloud-based server have an even lower probability of getting hacked.
