Had we wanted to save a little money, though, we could have self-monitored only for free. That service included emergency alerts to us and to the authorities, as well as cellular backup, for $20 a month. Of course, we believe in professional monitoring - why not let the experts keep an eye on our home? Blue offered us 24/7 professional monitoring from a network of call centers all over the country. Our favorite aspect of Blue by ADT was how many different ways we could monitor our system.

We also bought a video doorbell, which had a whopping 180-degree field of vision. The Blue hub and sensors sported a sleek, slim design that fit perfectly with our décor. Blue by ADT cameras also have facial recognition capabilities. The cameras also allowed us to create custom motion-activated zones so we didn’t have to worry about neighbors triggering alerts just by walking past. As a starting point, both its indoor and outdoor cameras had 1080p HD resolution, a 130-degree field of vision, and two-way audio. We were impressed with all of Blue by ADT’s equipment.
