I use ADT for several reasons:
I buy the cameras, heat, smoke, motion, and glass breakage detectors and they do the installs, including adding power and internet connection. My cameras are accessible even when I’m traveling. (I check every day I’m away). No memory cards necessary because all instances of activity are recorded in the cloud. Activity is monitored by ADT 24/7 so if they get an alarm, they notify me immediately and also law enforcement if necessary. That alone lowers the cost of my homeowner’s insurance enough to offset the ~$60 a month monitoring fee. If you have pets, you can activate all entry and situational detectors(heat and smoke) and deactivate motion detectors. When ADT did the initial visit, they made recommendations I hadn’t thought of and let me choose how I wanted to proceed.
