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

Arming/disarming is easy and fast. But it takes too long to open the live camera feeds and start to get video. I would also like to be able to see multiple live camera feeds at once, the same as can be done in a browser. Please add that feature, and also make the Saved video filter remember my choices. Nearly half of my events are "Other" and do not show up unless I remember to change the filter each and every time to include the "Other" category.

The app is super buggy, lags, and always seems to give me one issue after another. I PAY for a SECURITY service, and yet I cannot pull up my live footage on the app and watch it in real time. I have to wait AT LEAST a couple minutes for an event to have had happened to be able to pull it up and view it. There's also times where I'll receive a notification of an alert, but when I try to pull it up it didn't save, despite me having the settings adjusted to do so? Definitely fed up!!

the video camera's ability to detect and distinguish between a person, animal, or car is absolutely horrible and constantly being set off incorrectly. Spider webs are being detected as people. It's honestly unsafe because it has happened so much that I choose to ignore the notifications now, so if there ever was an actual intruder outside my house, I probabaly wouldn't even know. In addition, the app offers no option to delete clip all together.
