Security systems don’t mean bulky wires and tricky installation. Instead, today’s wireless alarm systems monitored by ADT let you arm and disarm your system remotely and without wires that can be cut by burglars. Even if your power goes down, your wireless security stays online by switching to a backup battery—which means you have a 24/7 connection to ADT’s nationwide monitoring centers.
Wired security systems rely on existing phone cables to connect your home’s security system to your security company’s monitoring center. While wired systems provide helpful security, flaws in the system—especially the fact that savvy burglars can cut buried wires—lessen their effectiveness. Wireless security closes this safety gap inherent in hardwired technology.
Wireless security alert systems also keep you safer by sending you immediate notifications as soon as a sensor is triggered. Thanks to wireless security, you can also use the app to check security cameras, get notifications when your kids get home from school, lock your doors, or arm your alarm from the office instead of running home.
While wireless security systems don’t have wires that could be cut by intruders, unsecured Wi-Fi networks can make wireless security vulnerable to hackers. Homeowners can minimize risks by updating their Wi-Fi software, creating strong usernames and passwords, and using their own secure home internet network instead of shared or public Wi-Fi. ADT also helps you access the best security possible online with an encrypted safety measured called Wi-Fi Protected Access, or WPA2. This technology helps safeguard your Wi-Fi connection and keep your video footage private.
Some homeowners worry that the lack of a hardwired connection means security systems won’t work in a power outage. But wireless alarms use battery power, which makes them more reliable in case the power grid goes down—as long as you check and replace the battery as needed. As soon as your wireless system’s battery starts running low, it sends a notification to your nearest ADT monitoring center.
Your wireless security alarm system can only help protect you if it’s installed correctly—which is why every plan includes professional installation starting at $99*. After you place your order with a representative from ADT, you will schedule a convenient time for a professional installer to visit your home. Your installer will correctly place and position all your equipment and make sure it works correctly. If you have questions about your ADT monitored wireless home security system, your installer will be happy to answer.
*Installation starts at $99; upgraded packages require additional installation fee. 36/24 month monitoring contract required. New customers only. Termination fees apply. See Terms below.
Are wireless security cameras really wireless?
Wireless security cameras use your Wi-Fi to send signals and connect to your alarm system, so they won’t be hardwired to your internet network using an ethernet cord. However, if you choose a wireless security camera that relies on electricity, the camera will have at least one wire connecting it to a power source. (Wireless security cameras that use electricity still have a battery backup in case the power goes out or the electric line is cut.) Battery-powered wireless security cameras are usually completely wireless.
Do you need Wi-Fi for wireless security cameras?
Yes, you do need Wi-Fi for wireless security cameras to work correctly.
Do wireless security systems need a power source?
Yes. Your wireless security system can either connect to your home’s electric grid or use battery power.
