The company was founded in 2010 by former Apple Engineers. Their flagship product, the Nest Learning Thermostat, was released in 2011 to loads of fanfare. From there the company continued to gain momentum and influence, selling smart smoke alarms, carbon monoxide protectors, etc. In 2014, Google acquired the brand, and in 2015 Nest officially entered the home security market with Nest Cam. Now owned by Google, Nest has tremendous influence in the security industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>Unlike Nest, ADT has been in the home security space for 140+ years. The company was founded way back in 1867 as American District Telegraph. The original home security technology was literally a telegraph alert system. Needless to say, ADT has been innovating over the past couple of centuries. Today, with 18,000 employees, 7 million customers, and a valuation of $15+ billion \u2014 ADT is the biggest player in home security. And without a doubt, the ADT brand is here to stay.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Age and Influence Category Winner: ADT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Companies like Nest and Ring are certainly nipping at ADT\u2019s heals for market-share (Nest has <em>already<\/em> sold over 11 million smart devices in the last 10 years). But the Google-owned company still hasn\u2019t caught up to home security giant ADT. ADT\u2019s influence and brand recognition is unparalleled. But\u2026 this doesn\u2019t necessarily make ADT the better choice for home security and automation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"features\"><strong>Features and Technology\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>The much newer, smaller, and more nimble Nest offers a range of smart home security and automation devices. These high-tech devices include indoor\/outdoor HD security cameras, video doorbells, the highly-praised Nest Learning Thermostat, and smart detectors galore. And that\u2019s just scratching the surface. Remember, Nest is now Google-owned. So customers enjoy the latest and greatest innovation when they purchase a Nest 2-in-1 home security + automation system. Nest certainly makes the grade in the features and tech department.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other notable Nest features and tech include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DIY installation<\/li>\n<li>Wireless, cellular-based systems<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 recording<\/li>\n<li>Preprogrammed disarm times<\/li>\n<li>Smart home ecosystem<\/li>\n<li>Encrypted, Cloud-based Video Storage<\/li>\n<li>Voice alerts<\/li>\n<li>Mobile app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT also delivers total home protection using sensors, motion detectors, indoor\/outdoor cameras, etc. And they are always improving their home automation features and smart gadgetry. Customers can get smart lights and door locks, automatic garage door controls, you name it. The best part \u2014 you can control everything from the convenience of your smartphone using ADT\u2019s modern mobile app.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other notable ADT features and tech include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Landline and cellular-based connections<\/li>\n<li>Home automation features<\/li>\n<li>Flood, fire, and leak detection<\/li>\n<li>Smart switches and plugs<\/li>\n<li>Pet-friendly motion detectors<\/li>\n<li>Mobile app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Features and Technology Category Winner: Nest\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>ADT is big. And big things are sometimes slow to move when it comes to rolling out new features and technology. Nest and other startup home security companies are constantly churning out amazing gadgets to keep us safe. And all-the-while ADT is dabbling in other markets like medical alert systems, fire safety, etc. This doesn\u2019t mean ADT isn\u2019t constantly improving features and tech in the home security space. They are. But they aren\u2019t as cutting-edge or fast-to-market as the young guns like Nest. So if you want sophisticated features and tech, Nest is a safe bet.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"monitoring\"><strong>Monitoring Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>The monitoring plan with Nest is very straightforward. It\u2019s called Nest Secure, and costs $19.99\/mo when you sign a 3-year contract, or $29.99\/mo when you go month-to-month. 24\/7 monitoring is completely optional, and many Nest owners choose to self-monitor their systems and save the monthly subscription fee. But it\u2019s always nice to have professionals always at-the-ready if a break-in occurs. Nest outsources its monitoring to Brinks, an ADT-owned security company. How\u2019s that for irony? All in all, the Nest Secure monitoring plan is a good value, but nothing to write home about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT\u2019s main professional monitoring plans come in four different packages. They are pricier than Nest\u2019s options, ranging from $27.99\/mo for ultra-basic home protection, to about $60\/mo. for total home security with video and automation. The basic package is hardwired and requires a landline. If you\u2019re looking for a wireless cellular connection, you\u2019ll be spending upwards of $50\/mo. ADT is well-known for delivering reliable home security monitoring to protect your family day and night.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Monitoring Options Category Winner: ADT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>ADT is more expensive than Nest, especially for wireless home security. But if you can look past the price tag, you simply cannot beat ADT\u2019s 24\/7 professional monitoring. It\u2019s predictable, reliable, and offers ultra-fast response times. With ADT, you can rest easy knowing that your home is safeguarded by the highly-trained experts at world-class monitoring centers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"emergency\"><strong>Emergency Connections<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>Nest cameras, sensors, and other standard equipment is 100% wireless. The connection is cellular-based. This means the devices are powered by local cellular signals, much like a cellphone. Cellular-based systems are becoming all the rage for a reason \u2014 they offer a reliable, high-speed emergency connection when you need it most. Nest\u2019s cellular security systems do not require a landline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT\u2019s base packages are hardwired and require a landline. If you want to go cellular, you will have to fork out approximately $50\/mo. for ADT\u2019s premium packages. Although landline connections are becoming less common, they still get the job done.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Emergency Connections Category Winner: Nest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In many ways, a cellular connection is superior to a landline connection. And Nest delivers 100% wireless, cellular-based home security. A major benefit to wireless systems is that setup is a cinch \u2014 an important topic we cover in our installation section below.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"security\"><strong>Security Equipment Included\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014<\/strong> The Nest Secure alarm system runs $399 (monitoring optional). With this base package, Nest customers get the Nest Guard (hub station and motion detector), control panel, a couple entryway sensors, and two Nest Tags (keychain remotes). But remember, Nest is all about customization, so you can upgrade your Nest security system to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nest equipment upgrades include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nest Protect, smart smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm<\/li>\n<li>The Nest Learning Thermostat<\/li>\n<li>Nest Hello Video Doorbell<\/li>\n<li>Security cameras with Nest Aware<\/li>\n<li>And more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also purchase Nest bundle packages to get more devices. These bundles run from $500 to $1,150, and well worth the price, especially if you have a larger home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT\u2019s standard packages include a control panel, central hub, a motion sensor, a handful of entryway sensors, wireless remote, and more. The equipment price is folded into the monthly monitoring cost and paid over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT equipment upgrades include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Glass break sensors<\/li>\n<li>Video doorbell<\/li>\n<li>Indoor\/outdoor cameras<\/li>\n<li>Flood, fire, leak detection<\/li>\n<li>And more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Security Equipment Category Winner: Tie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both of these companies offer a wide range of home security equipment. And included in the base package is everything you need to get started with home security. When it comes to equipment, you really can\u2019t go wrong with either one.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"quality\"><strong>Quality of Equipment\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>Google knows how to make top-quality products. Nest security equipment boasts a sleek, modern design. And every product is built to last. The equipment is impressive, to say the least. But it doesn\u2019t quite stack up to the quality of ADT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT has all of their security equipment manufactured by big-name companies like General Electric and Honeywell. The home security company has built a solid reputation on offering best-in-class equipment that stands the test of time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Quality of Equipment Category Winner: ADT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>ADT has been innovating and improving their products for 145 years, compared to Nest\u2019s 10 years. So it\u2019s only natural that ADT brings superior quality to market. From sensors and control panels, to cameras and automation equipment, ADT delivers the goods. With that said, Nest takes the slight edge when it comes to design aesthetics.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"home\"><strong>Home Automation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>Nest truly shines in this category. Their systems integrate seamlessly with third-party home automation platforms. And Nest itself offers a lineup of smart devices. Get their Hello video doorbell, Nest x Yale smart locks, smart environmental sensors, their ever-popular smart Learning Thermostat that lets you control your temps from just about anywhere in the world, and more. The Google-owned company will continue to innovate and release the latest and greatest in smart home automation. Nest is dialed-in when it comes to smart devices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>Similar to Nest, ADT has a strong lineup of smart home devices. Customers can purchase HD video doorbell cameras, smart door locks, smart lights and thermostats, and more. While ADT sells home automation equipment, it\u2019s not exactly their strong suit\u2026 yet. And if you want access to these smart features, you\u2019ll need to purchase one of ADT\u2019s premium plans that start at about $50\/mo. Not cheap.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Home Automation Category Winner: Nest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nest deserves the victory in this category. They offer some of the finest home automation in the industry. After all, the company got its start making smart devices. For their first five years in business they sold <em>only<\/em> smart home automation gear. And Nest continues to offer the \u2018easy life\u2019 of smart home automation at surprisingly affordable prices.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ease\"><strong>Ease of Installation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>Nest offers easy-to-install wireless home security systems. These DIY systems take virtually no handy skills, and they can be setup in a matter of minutes. With DIY installs, you don\u2019t have to wait around for a technician to show up. You also don\u2019t need to drill into walls and splice circuits and such. This feature alone makes systems like Nest attractive to the average American. It\u2019s worth noting that Nest does offer professional installation for an extra fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>Unfortunately, ADT requires professional installation. Although professional installation sounds nice (and it is), many buyers want the option to do it themselves. But alas, ADT technicians must visit your home and setup the system to their standards. ADT\u2019s installation fee costs between $99-$199. The good news, however, is that your system will be installed correctly, and the technicians will stick around to help you learn the system.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ease of Installation Category Winner: Nest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>More people are waking up to the genius of do-it-yourself setup. And unlike ADT, Nest offers DIY setup with all of their packages. It\u2019s simple, fast, and saves you an installation fee.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"customer\"><strong>Customer Service\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>Nest security has a range of customer service resources. You can visit their website to read and watch articles and video-guides, how-to tutorials, and access the Nest community. If you can\u2019t find what you need online, Nest also staffs a decent customer service call center. Overall, Nest offers great customer service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT boasts an A+ BBB rating. But that doesn\u2019t mean the company is without its critics, complaints, and problems. It\u2019s to be expected, though, when a company has 7+ million customers, 18,000 employees, and a hand in multiple industries. There\u2019s always room for improvement, but ADT more than makes the grade for customer service.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Customer Service Category Winner: Tie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whether you go with Nest or ADT, you shouldn\u2019t have a problem reaching a capable person who can guide you in the right direction. Both companies offer pretty good customer service.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"contracts\"><strong>Contracts\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014<\/strong> Contracts can be a big pain, that\u2019s why Nest offers a no-contract option. Of course, if you go this route, you have to buy your equipment upfront. But they make it affordable enough for the average person. Nest does require an agreement with a cell carrier like T-Mobile for cellular backup to alert the monitoring center when sensors are triggered. The flexibility Nest offers with no-contract home security cannot be beat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT requires contracts across the board. Customers will have to sign a 2-year or 3-year contract. So if you\u2019re averse to commitment, you should steer away from ADT. However, the company does offer an impressive 6-month money back guarantee \u2014 the best in the business.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Contracts Category Winner: Nest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Why sign a contract when you don\u2019t have to? If you can afford to purchase the equipment upfront, then you will enjoy Nest\u2019s month-to-month home protection that you can cancel at anytime. Or better yet, self-monitor your system and avoid the subscription cost altogether. Nest gives you options.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cost\"><strong>Cost and Value<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nest \u2014 <\/strong>The standard Nest Secure system costs $399 upfront. This includes everything needed to get started, but you can always purchase additional devices for more comprehensive protection. Then, the monthly monitoring plan is only $19.99\/mo. (with three year contract), or $29.99 month-to-month. Nest is affordable and their systems and upgrades are chock-full of value. But be careful, the cost of upgrades can add up pretty quick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADT \u2014 <\/strong>ADT home security packages start at $27\/mo. and go up to about $60\/mo. The good news is that you don\u2019t have to pay for the equipment upfront. But it\u2019s not like you get the equipment for free. You will pay for it over time in the (pretty steep) monthly monitoring fee. ADT offers premium home security, professional installation, and best-in-class monitoring \u2014 and they certainly charge for it. But remember, you get what you pay for.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cost and Value Category Winner: Nest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is a difficult category to judge. Both home security systems have their strengths and weaknesses. But overall, Nest simply offers more home protection and automation for the price. It\u2019s also nice to have the option to sign an agreement or go with month-to-month flexibility. ADT is far more rigid with their offerings. But who could blame them? ADT is the grand-daddy of the home security industry, and it\u2019s not like they\u2019re hurting for customers.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you choose Nest or ADT, you\u2019ll get reliable home security and access to enough upgrades to transform your house into the safest and smartest home in the \u2018hood. But we can only have one winner.

Both companies offer plenty of products and services to secure your home and protect your family. But as you\u2019ve seen, the two companies differ in many categories.<\/p>\n<p>Choose Nest if you\u2019re looking for cellular-based home security, 100% wireless systems with DIY setup, high-tech smart home automation, and the flexibility to go month-to-month. It won\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>Or choose ADT if you value a long-standing company with a proven track-record of reliable service. ADT also offers plenty of smart automation features. If you\u2019re willing to pay the high price, ADT just might be the home security system you\u2019ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our experts performed a side-by-side comparison of Google Nest and ADT home security and automation systems.
