ADT has launched ADT Blu, a revamped DIY security system that eliminates the need for lengthy contracts. This new offering features an improved hub with a modern design and optional cellular backup, alongside more compact sensors, making it a budget-friendly choice for homeowners.
The ADT Blu system integrates seamlessly with the ADT Plus app, which offers extensive customization for arming and disarming settings. The lineup includes various kits, such as the Doorbell Camera kit for $180, the Indoor camera kit for $161, and the Outdoor camera kit for $167. All wireless camera models provide 2K resolution and advanced detection for people, pets, and packages.
While a 30-day free monitoring trial is included, ongoing costs involve monthly plans: $15 for self-protect or $35 for professional monitoring. These plans are essential for features like cloud video storage and remote system control, though they can be canceled without penalty. Despite these recurring costs, the absence of contracts and cancellation fees presents significant long-term savings compared to traditional security services.
