What are the typical components of a good home security system?
ADT outlines these as key components:

For most, it can be set up in under an hour.

What’s the difference between ADT and ADT Blu?
ADT: For 150 years, ADT has made the security of our customers our top priority. Today, more than 13,000 professionals in over 150 locations throughout the U.S. ensure that our over 6 million customers stay as safe and secure as possible.
ADT Blu: ADT Blu is a customizable, easy‑to‑install smart home security system that you can set up yourself in under an hour using the ADT+ app—no heavy-duty tools, no long-term contract, cancel or switch plans anytime, and control over the devices and monitoring you choose. It delivers flexible, modern protection you can take with you when you move, with the option to add equipment anytime.
Can I customize my ADT Blu package or add devices later?
Yes. You can add devices anytime, including compatible cameras and sensors.
Is my data secure and encrypted?
ADT uses secure connections through the ADT+ platform for security and reliability. With ADT, your live video stays private. We only receive clips during an active alarm when you opt in — all to help get you a priority response.
During an alarm event, we use ADT Data Lockbox to safely store your alarm event data collected by ADT.* Access is tracked and limited to authorized and authenticated people you choose. In video verification scenarios, the video clip is stored in a secure location where only the site owner may access it in the future.
*ADT only has access to your Lockbox for the limited purposes disclosed in the ADT Privacy Policy (https://www.adt.com/about-adt/legal/privacy-policy).
