Internet of Things, Meet…The Security of Things

Take Control of Your Smart ADT Security Virtually Anywhere

We live in an age when we expect great technology – think of the Internet of Things – to make our lives easier and better. The ADT Control app builds on that notion to create a smarter security and automation system. Let’s call it The Security of Things.

ADT Control offers a seamless transition from at-home or at-work, to mobile smart security and automation. It extends the functionality of your ADT Command smart home or business security system, and puts it in the palm of your hand – virtually anywhere you go around the world. It goes beyond protecting what matters most to you, and delivers really smart security for your home or business.

How the ADT Control app puts you in command of your smart security and automation:

• Arm or disarm your home or business security from virtually anywhere.
• Control your lights so your home or business always looks occupied.
• Lock or unlock your doors remotely to let in contractors, visitors or the dog walker.
• Receive alerts when your system status changes or a door is unlocked, such as when your kids arrive home or your manager gets to work. Then view live video to check in on them.
• Adjust your smart thermostat to make everyone comfortable and even potentially lower your energy expenses.

Create Scenes and Schedules to bring it all together!
Using the ADT Control app, you can create scenes and schedules that give you the ultimate one-touch control of your smart home or business security and automation:
• Set up automations for leaving or arriving to your home or business.
• Create a vacation Scene that turns on different lights at different times, turns the TV or radio on and off, and generally makes it look like you’re home when you’re away.
• Adjust your system for different times of day so your security, lighting, temperature and other smart features are at the perfect settings, at the right time.

Ratings and reviews

This app stopped working for 2 weeks and I don't know why. The quality has slowly deteriorated. The response time to show live camera feed had gotten slower and slower until it just stopped altogether. Not to mention that I don't receive app notifications until 2-3 minutes after an event has happened. That's not helpful at all. Plus, the cameras don't have sound. If I had money to invest in DIY cameras, I would recommend that over ADT.

All I wanted was to set a schedule to automatically arm at night and automatically disarm in the morning at set times!! This is a most basic requirement! I just assumed ADT could manage it. Now I guess I'll be safe if I can remember to turn it on manually.... hope I don't forget in the morning and trigger the detection. I'm so disappointed... what a waste of money to not even do a simple thing.

Poor. I've had to uninstall/reinstall the app on a few occasions. The cameras do not operate like they are supposed to. I may get a video of cars passing by, but no videos of people. I've checked the settings repeatedly, and it's the same. Inconsistent video captures. Now it's not even loading for live video. I'm seriously thinking about canceling service. Just think I paid hundreds for the cameras. I'm TICKED.
