Do I need a professional monitoring plan to use ADT Blu?

No, with flexible ADT Blu monitoring choices, you can choose between professional monitoring and self-monitoring.

  • Cameras: requires Video Connect monitoring plan.
  • Full security system: works best with the Pro-Protect monitoring plan, but Self-Protect is available if self-monitoring is preferred.
Can I buy devices individually, or do I need a base kit?

Most devices require a base kit to function and must be purchased alongside it. However, cameras can be purchased on their own or combined with other products to build a custom system. A monthly monitoring plan is also required, with plans starting at $9.99 per month.

What if I have existing smart products in the home where I'm installing ADT Blu?

ADT Blu works with:

  • Google Nest Hub (2nd gen)
  • Z‑Wave smart home products (via ADT+ app integration)
