How Much Does ADT Monitoring Home Security Cost?

As the most recognized residential security company in North America, ADT is proud to offer a wide range of state-of-the art services made affordable for all budgets. We break down the costs below.

The price of ADT’s monitoring plans depends on which plan you choose and what kind of equipment you want. Each plan adds a little extra security and convenience with features like live video or home automation.

Its lowest monitoring price is a little under the average cost of around $32 per month for top brands. Its top monthly plan is one of the highest we've seen for top security systems.

Professionals at ADT monitoring centers watch your system for you, but the more you add to your system, the more they have to watch. This means you can expect a higher monthly fee if you want features like a doorbell camera or automatic locks.

The bright side is ADT will notify you whenever your motion detectors or other equipment sense activity. So no matter how much you pay for monitoring, there’s always someone there to protect your home.

ADT uses the latest in wireless technology to make sure your home is not marred by the appearance of unsightly cables and wiring systems. ADT's video options range from HD indoor cameras that look at home on a bookshelf to video doorbells to greet your visitors.

An ADT authorized installer will visit your home at your convenience for a full evaluation.

As an added bonus, same-day installation options may also be available in your geographic area.

ADT uses installation professionals to set up customers’ systems, which means your equipment will be ideally placed to maximize your home's security. Pro install will cost you, though. Installation fees vary depending on your equipment.
