Google and ADT Launch Revolutionary DIY Smart Home Security System

Google and ADT have teamed up to launch a smart home security system that promises to revolutionize home security. The new ADT Self Setup is a smart home DIYer’s dream, offering internet-connected security features that work in tandem with their existing smart home ecosystem. This new system is the result of a collaboration between two of the most prominent names in the technology industry. The main focus of this collaboration is to provide customers with a comprehensive security solution that will keep them safe and secure both inside and outside their homes.

Key Components of ADT Self Setup

The ADT Self Setup system includes components from both Google and ADT. ADT provides compatible products like door and window sensors, motion sensors, smoke detectors, temperature sensors, flooding sensors, and a keypad for controlling the system. All of the components connect via a centralized hub with a built-in keyboard, siren and full battery backup. The brains of the ADT Self Setup system is the ADT Smart Home Hub, which is a sizable unit that’s the size of a smart speaker and has an integrated 24-hour battery backup and a speaker grille on the front for the alarm siren.

Deep Integration with Google Nest Platform

The new ADT Self Setup system offers full integration with nearly every Google Nest device including cameras, thermostat, and WiFi router. Users can control Nest devices via the ADT+ app and receive specialized notifications from Nest cameras and doorbells. Customers can use the app to create unique routines and automations that combine Nest and ADT security products.

Prices & Packages

The system offers attractive pricing options to suit different budgets. Customers can purchase the bare-bones pack for $180. A starter package that includes a Nest Doorbell and several sensors costs $480, while an ultra-premium package at $580 includes a second-generation Nest Hub.

Subscription Options

Users can choose to opt into ADT’s smart monitoring system for $25 per month, which offers video verification and 24/7 monitoring. ADT’s Smart Monitoring is also available for $24.99 per month on a rolling monthly basis, which can incorporate video feed from enrolled Nest to help prevent false alarms. If someone subscribes to Nest Aware and ADT Monitoring, the Nest cameras have a monthly subscription that saves three hours of event history without a subscription. For $6 a month, “Nest Aware” will get 30 days of event video history, while the $9 “Nest Aware Plus” subscription will get 60 days of event history and has added 10 days of 24/7 video recording.

Concerns over Security

While the new ADT Self Setup system has been hailed as an innovative home security solution, there are concerns over camera access. Customers are advised to follow recommended security protocols to prevent unauthorized access to their cameras.

In conclusion, the new ADT Self Setup system with deep integration with Google Nest platform offers customers a comprehensive smart home security solution that is easy to install and use. With attractive pricing options and multiple subscription packages, users can choose an option that suits both their budget and requirements. The collaboration between Google and ADT promises to revolutionize the smart home security sector and sets a new benchmark in DIY smart home security systems.
