High Costs
All Safe Streets USA packages require professional installation. Depending on which package you select, installation costs anywhere from $99-$199.
The cheapest monitoring package that Safe Streets offers is $36.99/month.
A basic home security package from other companies is a lot less expensive.
Even for the company's most expensive package ($62.99/month), a lot of the equipment that you would want in a home automation system isn't included and has to be purchased separately.
Overall, Safe Streets is more expensive than our top-rated home security companies. Additionally, customers can only monitor their home with the ADT Pulse Voice App if they purchase a system that is over $50 monthly.
Cancellation Policy
Furthermore, if customers want to cancel their home security subscription before the contract has expired, they are required to contact customer service and pay an early termination fee (75% of the remaining balance), which can result in thousands of dollars.
ADT has a Mover's Package Guarantee - if you have used their service for two years and your account is in good standing, you can move your home monitoring package to your new home.
However, you must then sign a new 36-month agreement.
