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."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

This is the topic of much debate, though there is no “better,” as it depends on personal preferences. Some of the components of a wireless system keep working when the power goes out, as they are battery-powered. On the other hand, a wireless system typically connects to your modem and router. Wired systems use landlines to communicate, which never go out on their own unless they’re physically cut.

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

Yes, many professionals offer installation for specialty locks, high-security latches, and decorative hardware.
