ADT monitored plans are customized and differ from tier to tier, each sweetening the deal with new features or equipment options. One of the best things about ADT's plans is that you don't have to fork over a bunch of money for equipment on top of the monthly fee—equipment is included as part of your monitoring contract. Here's the breakdown on plans:
Entry-level plans include basic home security equipment and standard landline monitoring. If you don't need all the technical bells and whistles, this plan will save you money and keep your home protected. You still get 24/7 professional monitoring and the expertise that comes with keeping people safe for a century and a half.
Low-tier plans bump up the service with a cellular connection and mobile app access. This keeps your system online no matter what, with no wires that could be cut or damaged. If you live in a rural area or want to protect a vacation home in the country, this is an affordable option that comes with extra convenience.
Mid-tier plans add live video on Google Nest cameras to the mix. You'll pay about $7 more per month, but you'll have the extra reassurance of seeing what's happening at your home. This is especially important if you live in an area where emergency services require video verification to respond to home security alarms.
High-tier plans give you absolutely everything you could ever want or need in a security system: top-tier equipment, 24/7 monitoring, remote access, smart home control, and live video surveillance. This is the ultimate home security level and is great for those who love technology, want smart home convenience, and have larger homes or property to protect.
Every ADT package includes the essential components you need in a system, but you can add extra devices too:
- Control panel, motion detector, three entryway contact sensors: included in every plan
- Smart lock: an option in plans with home automation integration.
- Google Nest Doorbell (battery) and Google Nest Cam (indoor or outdoor, wired or battery): you can select the Nest Cam that best meets your security needs.
- Google Nest Thermostat: a smart home option available with multiple plans.
