What if I choose
self-monitoring?

Our self-monitoring option lets you keep tabs on your home via our mobile app. This option does not offer cellular backup, which means if your internet or power goes down, you will not get alarm alerts.

Remember that DIY self-monitoring doesn’t include professional monitoring services, so no emergency or other phone numbers will be called if your system is triggered.

Frequently asked questions: home security monitoring

With professional monitoring, you get 24/7 emergency services and may be able to save on homeowners or renters insurance. Use pro monitoring to help protect your home, family, and pets from burglary, fire, flood, and CO. Get the benefit of panic and duress modes to notify authorities behind the scenes in case a burglar enters your home behind you. Both the professional and self-monitoring options offer custom alerts and unique keypad entry codes so that you know about alarm events and who is entering/exiting your home.

Self-monitoring does include system alarm alerts using your FREE Blue by ADT app. This DIY option doesn’t include pro monitoring notifications or cellular backup, so please remember that no emergency or other telephone numbers will be called if your system is triggered and your home’s WiFi or power is down.

Yes. Your cameras come with 1-day video storage. You may choose to add a 60-day video storage plan to your home security with your mobile app. Use it to view and save your home’s security camera surveillance footage whenever you need it.

There’s no need to buy all new LifeShield home security equipment for 24/7 professional monitoring protection. You can get pro monitoring services with your existing LifeShield home security system and Blue by ADT camera equipment. Sign up today or contact us to learn more.

The monitoring center will confirm an alarm event at your home by calling you or one of your predetermined emergency contacts. If there is a verified alarm event and you or your emergency contacts can’t be reached, the monitoring center will immediately contact your local emergency services dispatch center to alert them of the emergency and your location. At this time, response time is determined by your local dispatch center and emergency responders. The speed of emergency dispatch depends upon the local dispatch center’s reaction time, emergency responder availability, and the distance it takes to travel to your home. Learn more about alarm events.

Of course! We can set you up with a 7-Day Practice Period (test mode) while you first try out your easy-to-use home security equipment. Test mode disables monitoring services. In the case of an alarm event in test mode, the alarm signal is prevented from going to the central monitoring station. Learn more.

We offer several preventative settings to help you avoid false alarms when you use professional monitoring services with your home security system and cameras. Find out more.

The panic button and duress code are tools to help protect you in case of an emergency. Either option directly notifies the connected monitoring center which immediately dispatches emergency services to your home for your safety. Learn more.
