How to set-up ADT security cameras

Our professional technicians can also help you pick the best place to install cameras. You can install as many security cameras as you’d like. Before installation, the technician will check your home’s Wi-Fi to ensure it’s Wi-Fi capability before installing each camera.

ADT security cameras require a power source and a strong, secure Wi-Fi signal for proper set-up. You’ll want to install ADT indoor security cameras near the control panel. ADT’s Video Doorbell Camera is hardwired and pairs with the system’s built-in Wi-Fi connection. Your technician also has different mounting brackets to install your doorbell camera to fit entry doors.
