ADT Self Setup Review

ADT-grade monitoring without the install or the contract

Our Take

ADT Self Setup is a compelling middle ground: you get ADT's monitoring pedigree and Google Nest camera integration without a contract or a technician visit. Pricing runs higher than pure-DIY rivals, but the brand trust and monitoring quality are real.
