Summary:
ADT’s CellGuard service allows your home security system to communicate with ADT’s monitoring centers through cellular networks instead of a landline. It provides a backup option in case your home phone line is compromised. The service uses cellular technology and may also work with certain VoIP and digital phone services.
ADT offers three different packages: Secure, Smart, and Video and Smart Home. These packages can be customized to fit your specific needs, starting with a foundation that includes door/window sensors and a motion sensor. The flexibility of these packages allows you to create a security system that suits your home.
If your security system is monitored through a home phone line, it can be easily disabled by a burglar. It is recommended to use ADT’s CellGuard service or other cellular communication options to enhance the security of your system.
ADT provides options for ordering replacement batteries for your wireless devices or main backup panel. Depending on your maintenance plan, you may be eligible for free batteries and shipping. If not, you can contact ADT to order new batteries.
You can use ADT’s Self Setup cameras without a security system or monitoring plan. These cameras can be used independently and do not require a storage subscription plan.
ADT offers Wi-Fi-enabled outdoor security cameras that can be controlled and monitored through the ADT app on your phone. These cameras need to be installed within Wi-Fi signal range, and having a strong Wi-Fi signal near your router will provide better functionality.
