Video monitoring and cloud storage are only available in ADT's Video and Smart Home Package, which costs about $60/mo.

When your ADT system is triggered, professional monitors can remotely view your live camera feeds and recent motion-triggered footage. This helps reduce false alarms and improve dispatch quality.
SimpliSafe is the only other major national security brand with video verification.
Yes! Nest Cameras consistently outrank most other security cameras on the market. ADT's previous cameras earned about 3 stars in our proprietary rankings, whereas all Nest Cams rank 4 stars and up.
Contact ADT customer service and let them know you're interested in an upgrade. You may need to renew your contract to get a deal on new equipment.
Getting your Nest Cams from the Google Store isn't much cheaper than getting them from ADT. For example, you'd still need to pay for a Nest Aware subscription to get cloud storage, whereas that's included in ADT's Video and Smart Home fee.
ADT also takes care of installation, setup, and service—for a fee, however. Plus, you get 6 months to try it out.
While ADT's promotions may vary, you can typically get one or two Nest Cams for free as an extra incentive for signing a 36-month contract.
Finally, getting Nest Cams from ADT is the best way to ensure your entire ADT security system and monitoring package works harmoniously with your Nest Cams.
ADT's partnership with Google Nest eliminates one of our persistent complaints: poor camera quality. The cutting-edge technology in Nest Cameras gives ADT a much-needed refresh.
