Benefits of DIY Home Security

Easy Installation for Everyone

Setting up your security system is a breeze with our DIY approach.

No need for technical expertise; our user-friendly interface and detailed instructions eliminate the need for a professionally installed system, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Flexibility and Scalability

Our modular security system grows with your needs. Start with the basics and expand as you see fit.

Add indoor and outdoor security cameras, cloud storage, additional entry sensors or smart home integrations as your requirements evolve.

Monitoring Services & Remote Access

Whether you choose a Full Monitoring or Lite Monitoring service, keep a close eye on your place even when you’re out and about.

Use our self-monitoring Smart Connect app or web interface to receive alerts, view live camera feeds, and arm/disarm the security system from anywhere.

No Long-term Contracts

Experience the freedom of adaptable monitoring services without the burden of enduring contracts.

Our month-to-month monitoring solutions provide you with the flexibility to choose, unbound by long-term contracts.

Local Alarm for Immediate Response

In addition to remote monitoring, our DIY home security system includes an integrated local alarm in the security panel that triggers when an intrusion is detected.

It's an added security layer that helps deter potential trespassers.

What is the best DIY home security system?

At ADT, we firmly believe in providing a comprehensive and reliable DIY home security solution.

With our modular and scalable system, user-friendly interface, and remote access, it's designed to adapt to your unique needs and preferences.

Can I install a home alarm system myself?

Absolutely! With our ADT Secure Home Connected DIY Alarm System, we've made self-installation a straightforward and hassle-free process.

No need for advanced technical skills, our detailed instructions and user-friendly interface empower you to set up the system at your own pace. DIY installation is a convenient option for those who prefer to take control of their home security.

Remember that the specific steps and components involved in the installation process may vary depending on the ADT Secure Home Connected DIY solution you’ve purchased.

Always refer to the provided installation guides and consult with ADT’s customer support for any specific questions or concerns you may have during the installation process.

Is it better to have professional or DIY security alarm systems?

The choice between a DIY or professional home alarm system depends on your specific needs and preferences.

With our DIY system, you have the freedom to install and customise your security solution yourself. It's an excellent choice if you're tech-savvy and value flexibility.
