Get full control over your ADT Self Setup security system and cameras with this free mobile app that’s available to every ADT Self Setup customer. The ADT+ app is where you can add and remove smart home devices and control your connected gadgets.
Other security systems (including ADT’s professionally installed systems) force you to upgrade if you want remote access to your system via an app. We were delighted to see ADT Self Setup throw out that practice.
Whether or not you add 24/7 monitoring to your Self Setup security system, you can take full advantage of everything the mobile app has to offer.
- Remote arm and disarm
- Live video watching
- Saved media archive
- Push notifications
- Two-way talk (with compatible equipment)
- Smart home controls
- Area crime map
But, as with any new venture, users have reported a slew of glitches and bugs in the app.
Some folks keep getting logged out of the app, so every time they want to check in on their house or get an alert, they’re required to log in. Those few seconds can make a difference when you’re talking about the security of your home.
Other issues include lots of freezing and a buggy user interface that covers up the buttons you need to use the app. Updates have been released that aim to address a lot of these issues.
We definitely like the claims about what you can do in the app. The next step will be more positive reports that those features actually work consistently.
