How much does ADT Pulse Cost?

You have probably heard all about ADT Pulse and are wanting to know what it is and what the costs are. ADT Pulse came out in 2012 and has been ADT’s most popular option since it is the platform that connects the security system with the cloud and an app. After 7 years of success ADT has launched a new platform called ADT Control. ADT Pulse is thus being discontinued and all new installations are using ADT Control going forward. There are three levels of ADT Pulse monitoring. The monthly cost is $53.99 for remote access, and $63.99 a month for video and only $64.99/mo for advanced (Cameras, lights, thermostats, and door locks). The upfront costs start at $99 but can increase if you add more protection, home automation devices, or cameras. Zions Security Alarms is an ADT Authorized Dealer dedicated to helping you know more about ADT Pulse.

What Is ADT Pulse?

ADT Pulse is the service offered by ADT Monitoring that allows you to be in control of your home wherever you are. As long as you have internet access on a device you can arm and disarm your home security system using ADT Pulse. It was the first service ADT offered to control your security remotely, but it has been replaced by the new ADT Control platform now.

How Does ADT Pulse Work?

The way ADT Pulse works is by using your cellular and internet connection to communicate with your alarm system and home automation set up. You can download an app for your smartphone or tablet or you can use the web portal on a computer. ADT Pulse uses Z-wave and WiFi to communicate with the devices.

What if I Am An Existing ADT Customer And Want ADT Pulse?

If you are an existing customer of ADT and you want to upgrade it is recommended that you call ADT and have them upgrade your system. You are then welcome to return here to purchase additional components that you want to add to your ADT Pulse system. Since ADT has replaced ADT Pulse with ADT Control, you will want to skip ADT Pulse and go straight to ADT Control at this point.

More Information on ADT Pulse?

ADT Pulse is much more than the ability to control your home security system, it is also the ability to control nearly everything in your home. It has home automation that includes climate (change thermostat temperatures) control, light control, video cameras, and even garage door control and deadbolt locks. Its affordable, customizable and very easy to use. ADT Pulse is not only giving you the ability to control a light, door lock, etc.. individually, its greatest asset is that everything can work together automatically.

For example, if there is a fire in your home your lights can automatically turn on, the thermostat can stop (so that it does not feed the fire more oxygen), and the door can unlock (for quick access for fire department or exit).

Another example is when you arm your system it can automatically change the thermostat to save you money on expensive energy costs, turn lights off to save you more money, and make sure the doors are locked. You can even receive severe weather alerts from your ADT Pulse system.

ADT’s new platform ADT Control can do all of this and more as ADT Pulse is being discontinued for new customers.

ADT Pulse Controls Automation Devices With Z-Wave

ADT Pulse is able to turn into home automation with a technology called Z-Wave. You can add Z-wave devices like locks, thermostats, and lights and control them from the ADT Pulse Ihub. These z-wave devices use a mesh network that gets larger the more devices you install. The ADT Pulse Cameras work off of Wi-Fi technology also communicating back to the ADT Pulse iHub or gateway. The new ADT Control service that is replacing ADT Pulse uses the same technology with some of the latest advances.

Example Estimate of ADT Pulse

If a homeowner wanted ADT Pulse Premier they would start with $99 install and $64.99/mo. If they had 15 doors and windows they wanted to protect they would pay for the 12 additional doors and windows at $60 each($720). Three of them come included already with the $99. Then lets say they wanted to add an indoor camera and a Deadbolt ($199). Their total install cost would be $1019. Costs of additional equipment can be found here on our equipment price list or above on the ADT Pulse Parts Price List.
