ADT security systems are some of the most sought-after around, especially now that they have professionally-installed and DIY options. ADT is still the secure, versatile, and reliable security system we tested in our ADT review, but now with more flexible offerings. You can install the system yourself and save on installation cost, or pay for professional installation and enjoy a hassle-free, white-glove service.
Despite its commendable effort to bring down its monitoring prices though, ADT’s equipment can still cost you big time. It uses Google Nest cameras, for example, that start at $99 for the indoor model but can reach $279 for the outdoor floodlight version. That’s why we love Black Friday. Last year, ADT offered discounts up to 40-percent on packages. What kind of savings are we looking at this year, particularly on November 29 (Black Friday) and December 2 (Cyber Monday)?
Pro Tip: Investing in a top security system is more than worth it. Studies show that thieves are 50 percent less likely to break into homes protected by reputable security systems than homes without them.
What Are ADT’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024 Deals?
Unfortunately, ADT is yet to announce its Black Friday offer. That’s how it normally goes. They keep their special offers under wraps until just before the sale.
That doesn’t mean we’re totally clueless though. We’ve been covering ADT’s Black Friday sale for years, and we know that most of the time, they offer discounts on their customizable packages – from the $269 Build Your Own to the $1,200 Total Safety package. In fact, they gave new customers as much as 40-percent off last year as part of their Black Friday promotion.
ADT’s package pricing and configuration have changed over the past year, but here’s how they looked during the sale.
| ADT equipment packages | Black Friday discounted price | Normal prices |
|---|---|---|
| Build Your Own | $478.80 | $798.00 |
| Smart Home | $509.40 | $849.00 |
| Video and Smart Home | $951.00 | $1,586.00 |
Keep in mind that when these package discounts go live, the sensors and devices you add to your package will also receive the discount. That means if ADT launches a similar promotion on Black Friday, it would be a good time to buy all the sensors you need for your home. However, the discounts sometimes don’t apply to security cameras, as they are from Google Nest. Watch out for free security camera deals though. ADT often throws in a free security camera or video doorbell when new customers buy a system.
ADT’s prices don’t drop by as low as 40-percent often – the best we’ve seen outside Black Friday thus far was 30-percent off. Also, those discounts are likely to be extended to ADT’s Cyber Monday sale.
That said, if buying right now isn’t ideal, here are a few ways to save on ADT packages year-round:
Pro Tip: One way to save is by going with DIY installation and skipping the installation fees. You can either use ADT’s new DIY offering (ADT Self Setup) or another DIY brand. Before you make your decision though, see our comparison of ADT vs. DIY home security systems.

Ways to Save on ADT Security
By now you get it: ADT isn’t the cheapest system out there. (More on that in our guide to ADT’s pricing and service plans.) But they have offered some considerable discounts and special promotions in the past, not just on Black Friday, but year-round. Here’s how you can snag one.
- Sign up for the ADT company newsletter. Remember, discounts can happen at any time, and this is hands-down the best way to stay on top of promotional offers on the latest security equipment.
- Check out the company’s packages. The best cost savings from ADT come from their home security packages. Build Your Own, Outdoor Video, Front Door Protection, and Total Safety are the three options available.
- Keep tabs on running discounts. Last month, for instance, ADT offered 30-percent off packages. From time to time they might even offer discounts on professional installations, which could translate into big savings.
- Definitely read our complete guide to ADT’s deals, sales, and promotions! We’ve compiled an exhaustive list on how to save on ADT services and products. If you’re looking for a discount, here’s where you’ll find it.

What Else Can You Get on Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024?
ADT isn’t usually the king of Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, but the 40-percent last year wasn’t shabby. If a similar offer rolls around and you’re looking to protect your home with one of the best home security systems, be prepared to jump at the opportunity.
We’d also recommend checking out Google Nest Cams. They might not be included in ADT’s special discounts, but we suspect they’ll be on sale if you buy yours from the Google Store. Particularly if you’re going ADT’s DIY route, you’d be able to link your own Nest Cams with ADT pretty easily. It’s one of the advantages of ADT, as it works with some of the best security cameras on the market right now.
Pro Tip: ADT is one of our favorite home security systems, but there are other great options out there, too. Check out our guide to the best home security providers of 2024 for the whole picture.
