Consider second floor depending on risk.
Add motion sensors for large interior areas.
What happens to my ADT Blu security system if my Wi-Fi or power goes down?
ADT Blu systems come with 24-hour battery backup in case of a power outage. With the Pro-Protect professional monitoring plan, protection can be maintained if Wi‑Fi disconnects by using cellular backup.
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 receives 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).
What happens if I need help during ADT Blu setup?

Can I share access to the system with other household members?
Yes. ADT Blu supports multiple users, each with:
Unique user codes
Assigned roles (Master, Admin, Standard)
