Besides the Basic kit, ADT monitored plans are customized and differ from tier to tier, each sweetening the deal with new features or equipment options. Here's the breakdown on plans:
The Basic Plan includes the basic starter kit and standard landline monitoring. What's missing is the Quality Service Plan that offers extended warranty protection and a deal on any service calls you may need during your contract. This plan also misses out on the 6-month money-back guarantee.
The Secure Plan is a basic cellular-connected package plus the Quality Service Plan. It also allows you to skip the wiring that comes with landline service. Hardwired systems take longer to install and can be clipped or damaged by intruders. 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 warranty and service protection.

The Video Plan costs about $7 more, but trades automation for live video on Google Nest cameras. Video storage requires a Nest Aware plan (about $6 a month).
Finally, the Complete Plan comes with all of ADT's video and automation features for just a few dollars more per month.
