Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions, we’ve got you covered

What’s included in this kit?

The kit includes:

2 Door/Window Sensors to help protect your home's accessible entry points

Can I customize this kit or add devices later?

Upgrade your kit with additional sensors, cameras, life safety detectors, or smart home accessories to suit your specific requirements during or after kit purchase.

How many sensors do I need for my home size?

There’s not an absolute number, but general guidance is:

All ground-floor doors & windows should have a sensor.
Consider second floor depending on risk.
Add motion sensors for large interior areas.

What happens to my ADT Blu security system if my Wi-Fi or power goes down?

ADT Blu systems come with 24-hour battery backup in case of a power outage. With the Pro-Protect professional monitoring plan, protection can be maintained if Wi‑Fi disconnects by using cellular backup.

Is my data secure and encrypted?

ADT uses secure connections through the ADT+ platform for security and reliability. With ADT, your live video stays private. We only receive clips during an active alarm when you opt in — all to help get you a priority response.

During an alarm event, we use ADT Data Lockbox to safely store your alarm event data collected by ADT.* Access is tracked and limited to authorized and authenticated people you choose. In video verification scenarios, the video clip is stored in a secure location where only the site owner may access it in the future.

*ADT only has access to your Lockbox for the limited purposes disclosed in the ADT Privacy Policy (https://www.adt.com/about-adt/legal/privacy-policy).

What happens if I need help during ADT Blu setup?

If you need any help at all, the following resources are available:

24/7 chat support
How-to videos
Online help articles via our support center

Can I share access to the system with other household members?

Yes. ADT Blu supports multiple users, each with:

Unique user codes
Assigned roles (Master, Admin, Standard)
