ADT Pulse cameras and home automation are becoming very popular. We have current ADT customers calling daily to find out how they can upgrade to ADT Pulse. With the ADT Pulse App giving customers the ability to remotely control their security systems, door locks, thermostats, lighting and garage door, many customers want this new technology in their homes. So if you currently have ADT security monitoring service and do not have cameras or home automation, how do you order the upgrades and have them installed?

Choose a Security Company You Can Rely On

The most important choice you’ll make when planning for home security is hiring the right home security company.

Home security has significantly changed over the last several years. With technology moving into our homes at a rapid pace and mobile connectivity becoming more important to homeowners, there are now more options than ever before. Home security was once just about protecting your home and family from burglary and home invasion. 

With all the new technologies there are definitely quite a few combinations of monitoring services available to you for home security, remote camera viewing, recorded video cloud storage and home automation management. The cost of monthly monitoring in the security industry varies between $20 - $75+ a month depending on the level of monitoring you have, how many things you want to have monitored and the service plan that comes with the monthly monitoring cost.

With most security companies today, you start with a free equipment package and an installation cost of between $99 - $299 depending upon what kind of system you are getting installed. These packages come with a keypad, some free door sensors, a motion sensor and a key-chain remote.
