Protection Options
With Blue by ADT, we know that everyone's security needs are different, which is why we offer different layers of protection. Having monitored security can also help you receive homeowners insurance discounts, saving you money in the long run.
At ADT, we offer pro monitoring experts to help protect what matters most; however, we know that not everyone needs this, which is why we also offer a zero contract self-monitoring option.
Self-Monitoring
If you take the DIY route fully, monitoring would be in your hands. This option eliminates the possible financial burden of long-term contracts and is a great option for those wanting home security but at a lower cost. However, you would not have the added security of our expert monitoring teams.
With this plan option, you would have up to one day of video storage, which you can find on the free mobile app. Cellular backup is not included with the DIY option, so you would need to depend on reliable Wi-Fi.
24/7 Professional Monitoring
For just $19.99 a month, you can have 24/7 home protection from some of the most experienced operators in the industry without a long-term contract. In fact, you can get 24/7 monitoring month-to-month, so if you decide it's not what you need at that time, you are free to self-monitor without any penalties.
Aren't sure if you want to self-monitor or elect for 24/7 expert monitoring? No worries! We know that choosing the right plan can be difficult, which is why we give you the first month free if you sign up for 24/7 monitoring.

Deciding to build your own home security system doesn't have to be costly or overwhelming. Blue with ADT puts the power to decide, set up, and plan in your hands.
