When comparing ADT and Honeywell home security monitoring services and systems, you should know that Honeywell does not install home security alarm systems. Honeywell is a company that specializes in the manufacturing of various home security devices, including motion detectors and temperature monitors. The company sells its products to various companies (including ADT) who include them in their own systems and often offer support services along with the sale and installation of a security system.

ADT Overview

ADT is a leading provider of home security systems, offering sales, installation and service packages. ADT systems start at around $399, but you can often find discounts that drop the price to less than $100.

ADT offers six different packages:

• SafeWatch
• SafeWatch PRO RF
• QuickConnect
• Essentials Plus
• Critical Conditions
• Family Package

Each package comes with:

• A control panel that lets you turn the system on and off
• An indoor sounder that tells you when someone enters your home
• At least one touchpad to control the features from various points around your home.

The main difference between the packages is the total number of window and door sensors in each package. Each separate package can be upgraded to include services such as cell phone contact when an emergency situation occurs and additional protection for fire, smoke and extreme temperature changes.
