What Atlanta ADT actually costs: four packages, $99 install, cameras optional
The search is “how much is ADT in Atlanta,” “ADT cost Atlanta Georgia,” and “ADT packages Atlanta.” The answer is a monthly number plus an install charge plus an agreement length — not a banner and not a national average. Promotional packages on this site currently start at $49.99 per month* for ADT Secure. That is the monitored door-and-window plan. Everything else is an add you asked for on the call.
Home Alarm Systems Atlanta is the local order line at homealarmsystemsatlanta.com. The lockup is Atlanta Security Pros. SafeStreets is the ADT Authorized Provider that installs. ADT monitors 24/7. This site is not ADT corporate. Atlanta homeowners can trust a SafeStreets security system monitored by ADT. Call (470) 986-0038 with your ZIP for a quote that matches the openings on your house. There is no contact form that prices a Midtown condo or an Alpharetta two-story. The specialist says the number out loud.
Four Atlanta prices, not a national “from” line
The four promotional tiers we quote in this Atlanta territory are locked:
- ADT Secure — $49.99/mo.* Doors, windows, keypad, ADT Control app, cellular path, 24/7 professional monitoring.
- ADT Secure+ — $53.99/mo.* Secure plus smoke or carbon monoxide on the same center.
- ADT Smart — $60.99/mo.* The most popular. Adds a smart lock, thermostat, or garage opener on the same app.
- ADT Complete — $64.99/mo.* Video-ready. Doorbell and cameras sit here.
Many plans have a $99 install*. Qualifying monitoring can include a free alarm system promo ($850 value)*. A new monitoring agreement is required — typically 36 months. Early termination fees apply. Credit approval applies. Offers are for homeowners. Other rate plans exist. The number on a homepage tile is not a contract until the specialist attaches it to your openings. The packages page is the same four numbers. This article is what changes them on an Atlanta house.
Taxes, extra cameras you add later, and any city or county paper are separate. Do not add CryWolf false-alarm tables into the monthly in your head and then argue with the quote. Monitoring dollars and city dollars are different lines. The 470 order call is how a number becomes a date.
ADT Secure at $49.99*: doors and 24/7 on a Grant Park bungalow
Secure is the honest first number. It is not a teaser that becomes $90 once someone counts a slider. Door and window sensors, a keypad, the app, a cellular path, and ADT 24/7. A Grant Park bungalow with a front door, a back door, and a basement stair can live here. A Midtown 30308 condo with two doors can live here too. The plan is occupancy, not square footage.
People skip Secure because they saw a doorbell ad. A doorbell is useful. It is not a door sensor. If you jump to video and skip the contacts, you have a picture of a person walking in and no alarm until you happen to look. Start with doors. Add video if you want video. Secure is how most Atlanta orders should begin, even if you later land on Smart or Complete.
If you have a slider, say the slider. If you have a basement door on a Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, or Grant Park lot, say that door. The specialist adds the openings. The $49.99* is still the promotional door-and-window tier. A banner that says “from $49.99” is not a contract until those openings are named. Indoor sensors plus ADT still work if you never add a camera.
Secure+ at $53.99*: smoke or CO, not a camera upgrade
Secure+ is Secure plus one smoke or carbon monoxide detector. A small step up. Useful in older Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Grant Park, and West End houses, in any Midtown two-story where the existing smokes are not monitored, and in any house where you want a life-safety device on the same center that watches the doors. The extra four dollars is not a camera. It is a sensor that can request help for fire or CO, not just a break-in.
Georgia Power outages and summer air-conditioning make carbon monoxide a real conversation when a generator or a gas appliance is in the mix. A detector that only screams in the hallway does not call anyone if you are at work in Perimeter Center or downtown. A monitored detector can. That is the Secure+ argument. It is still not Complete. It is still not a twelve-camera grid. Ask for smoke or CO if you want it. Do not assume it is already in Secure.
If you already have working local smokes and you only want doors, stay on Secure. If the house is a 30306 resale and you have not tested a detector since closing, Secure+ is the cheaper conversation than a fire you find out about from a neighbor. The quote can include it. The $99 install* on many plans can still apply. Ask.
Smart at $60.99*: the plan most Midtown and Buckhead callers pick
Smart is the most popular package we quote in Atlanta. It is Secure plus a smart lock, a thermostat, or a garage opener on the same ADT app. People pick it because they arm from a Midtown parking deck, a Buckhead office garage, a MARTA platform, or a North Point lot, and they want the lock to match the alarm. The extra dollars are not cameras. They are control of an opening you already decided to watch.
A Midtown condo with two doors and a lock is a Smart conversation. A Buckhead two-story with a garage opener is a Smart conversation. A Virginia-Highland bungalow where you want the thermostat on the same app as the alarm is a Smart conversation. None of those sentences require a doorbell. If you want the doorbell too, that is Complete, not Smart. Say which one you actually want.
Smart is popular because occupancy in this metro is a weekday empty. You leave for downtown, Perimeter, the airport, CDC, Emory, or Georgia Tech, and you want to arm from the car. The $60.99* is the promotional price for that habit. It is still a 36-month monitoring agreement. It is still homeowners only. It is still not a custom automation project. Weekday empties on MARTA, I-75, and GA-400 is why people pick Smart. This page is the dollar amount.
Complete at $64.99*: video when you asked for video
Complete is the video-ready tier. A doorbell and cameras sit here. $64.99/mo* is the promotional monitoring number. It is not a twelve-camera commercial quote. It is not a promise that every porch in Inman Park gets four outdoor heads. If you want a doorbell because packages sit on a Virginia-Highland stoop, say doorbell. If you want one outdoor camera on a Buckhead driveway, say one outdoor camera. The specialist prices what you named.
Outdoor cameras can move the install above $99. That is the sentence people miss. Indoor sensors and a keypad on many plans still install at $99*. A custom camera grid is extra labor and extra equipment. Ask the install number out loud. If the specialist says $99, write it down. If the specialist says the cameras push install higher, write that down too. Do not hear $64.99* and assume the truck is $99 when you asked for four outdoor heads.
Some Buckhead, Peachtree City, and Alpharetta boards limit what faces the street. A board rule does not cancel indoor monitoring. Complete without a street-facing camera is still Complete if the quote put video inside or on a doorbell the board allows. Bring the covenant to the call. HOA camera rules in Buckhead and Peachtree City is the board article. The price still comes from this 470 line.
The $99 install and the $850 equipment promo
Many plans have a $99 install*. That is a customer installation charge, not a free truck. Qualifying monitoring can include a free alarm system promo ($850 value)*. Those two sentences travel together. They are both asterisks. They both require a new monitoring agreement — typically 36 months. Early termination fees apply. Credit approval applies. Offers are for homeowners. Tenants do not get this promotion. Landlords who own the property can order on their own occupancy card.
The $850 figure is an equipment value on qualifying monitoring, not a check. Do not subtract $850 from the monthly in your head. Do not expect a rebate envelope. The specialist will tell you whether your quote qualifies. If it does not, you will hear that before a date is on the calendar. A leftover keypad you already own can change the equipment conversation. It does not erase the monitoring agreement.
Ask whether the $99 install applies to this address with these openings. Ask whether cameras change it. Ask whether a leftover panel we reactivate still sits on the $99 line. Those are fair questions. They belong on the call, not in a comment box. There is no comment box. Call (470) 986-0038.
What actually moves the Atlanta quote: openings, smoke, cameras
Three things move the number after the ZIP is confirmed. Openings: every door and window you want covered. A Midtown condo with two doors is not an Inman Park bungalow with a slider, a basement, and six windows you actually open. Smoke or carbon monoxide: that is the Secure+ step. Cameras: that is Complete, and that can move install. A lock or thermostat is the Smart step. None of those are square footage. None of those are “because Buckhead.”
People try to price from a listing. The listing says 2,400 square feet. The specialist still needs the door count. A 1920s Virginia-Highland house can have more openings than a 4,000-square-foot Alpharetta two-story with a builder panel already on the wall. The leftover keypad can shorten the visit. It cannot skip the opening count. Photograph the panel. Count the doors. Then talk cameras.
If you only want doors, stay on Secure or Smart. If you want smoke on the same center, say Secure+. If you want a doorbell, say Complete. Do not let a homepage tile pick for you. The tile is $49.99*. Your house is the openings. How installation works is the visit. This page is why two Atlanta houses do not cost the same even when they sit on the same promotional tier.
Leftover keypad versus a new panel — the price conversation
A leftover keypad is not a discount code. It is equipment that may be reusable. If SafeStreets can reactivate it onto ADT 24/7, the visit is often shorter. The monthly still starts at $49.99* for Secure. The $99 install* on many plans can still apply. Hardware you inherited does not erase the 36-month agreement. Hardware you inherited is not monitoring until someone orders monitoring.
Midtown, Buckhead, and Virginia-Highland resales produce leftover pads every week. Alpharetta and Johns Creek new-builds produce builder pads. Both are photographs, not live accounts. Bring the photo to the 470 call. The specialist will say reactivation or replace. Replace is still a professionally installed system. It is not a punishment. It is the clean path when the plastic on the wall will not talk to ADT the way we need it to.
Do not pull the pad before the photo. A hole in the drywall does not lower the monthly. It can turn a reactivation into a full replace. Photograph the leftover keypad is the hallway article. Builder keypads in Alpharetta and Johns Creek is the north-Fulton version. Both still price on this page’s four tiers.
Asterisks that belong on every Atlanta number
Every price on this site carries an asterisk. $49.99, $53.99, $60.99, $64.99, $99 install, $850 equipment promo — all of them. The asterisk is the 36-month monitoring agreement, early termination fees, credit approval, homeowners only, and the fact that other rate plans exist. It is also the fact that camera labor can move install. It is also the fact that city paper is not included in the monthly.
We will say those sentences on the call. We will not hide the agreement length. We will not hide the early termination fee. We will not quote a tenant onto a homeowner promotion. If you are renting a Midtown apartment, say you are renting. The specialist will tell you what we can and cannot do. The promotion on this site is for homeowners. Landlords who own can order. Occupancy cards matter more than the marketing tile.
City of Atlanta CryWolf is a free annual permit. That $0 is not a discount we invented. Unregistered false alarms can be billed at $150 per ATL311 in December 2024. Those dollars never belong inside the $49.99*. Which desk your ZIP actually files is the permit article. This article is the monitoring number.
House versus condo math without a square-footage lecture
A house usually costs more in equipment because it has more openings, not because it is “a nicer neighborhood.” A condo usually costs less in equipment because it has fewer doors. The promotional monthly can still be the same tier. A Midtown condo on Smart at $60.99* and a West End house on Smart at $60.99* are the same promotional monitoring number with different opening counts. The install conversation can differ. The agreement length does not.
Apartment and rental is a different card. If you own the building, you can order as a homeowner. If you are on a lease, you are not on the homeowner promotion. Do not call this a loophole. Say the occupancy honestly. A leftover keypad in a rental unit is still not your account until someone who is allowed to order monitoring does so. The specialist will not pretend otherwise to win a date.
Condo boards and HOAs change cameras, not doors. Indoor sensors plus ADT 24/7 still work if the board hates a street-facing head. Price the doors first. Price video second. Bring the rule. The FAQs repeat the homeowner rule because people skip it. This page is the dollar amount attached to the card you actually hold.
What is not in the monthly, and what we will not invent
The monthly is monitoring and the equipment on that promotional plan. It is not your CryWolf filing. It is not a Decatur or Marietta permit we invented. It is not Georgia Power. It is not a twelve-camera grid you did not ask for. It is not a gate. It is not a building camera in a Midtown high-rise. If the building already has a lobby camera, that is the building’s. Your unit still needs doors watched if you want ADT on your openings.
We will not invent a residential permit dollar for Sandy Springs, Decatur, Roswell, Alpharetta, East Point, or Peachtree City. We will not fold Gwinnett’s $0 / $25 / $50 / $100 calendar into the $49.99*. We will not tell you the $99 install covers outdoor cameras you have not named. We will not quote Athens, Savannah, Rome, or Dalton as if they were Atlanta. Confirm the ZIP. Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, and close-in suburbs are this line.
Same-day or next-day is common when the calendar is open. That is scheduling, not a price. We do not sell a rush fee to jump the line. We do not discount the monthly because you can “come tomorrow.” The number you hear is the offer for the openings you named. Cellular backup on a Georgia Power outage is included in the professional monitoring conversation. It is not a separate gadget line you have to remember to buy at the big-box store.
Call with the ZIP if you want a number that sticks
Call (470) 986-0038. Have the ZIP. Have house versus condo. Have a rough door count. Have cameras yes or no. Have a photo of any leftover keypad. You will hear Secure $49.99*, Secure+ $53.99*, Smart $60.99*, or Complete $64.99*, the $99 install on many plans, the $850 equipment promo on qualifying monitoring, the 36-month agreement, and the early termination fee. SafeStreets installs. ADT monitors 24/7. Atlanta Security Pros is the local voice. Home Alarm Systems Atlanta takes the order at homealarmsystemsatlanta.com.
If the reason you are pricing is a leftover pad, start with the photo. If the reason you are pricing is a weekday empty, say the hours. If the reason you are pricing is a porch that collects boxes, say the doorbell. The four tiers do not change. Your openings do. That is what Atlanta ADT actually costs.
