For $20 a month, you can buy a monitoring plan to cover a system you already own. Systems are backed by multiple monitoring centers across the U. S. to ensure that a power outage won’t take down your home security. ADT remains the most popular security choice in the United States and Canada for the systems’ wide range of options. You can choose a basic security system for protection against intruders, or you can opt for all the bells and whistles. ADT gives you options to add on video surveillance services, environmental disaster protection, and home automation products. Video surveillance can include indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, and video doorbells. The cameras through ADT have 720p HD video recording with night vision. Cameras are triggered by motion detectors to record video clips that you can view, save, and store on the ADT app. You can program the app to send you the video or an alert whenever one of your cameras records a new clip.

Additional door/window sensors go for $14. 99 each and you can order glass break detectors for $34. 99 each, smoke detectors for $29.
