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 look forward to Black Friday, when ADT offers its biggest discounts of the year. Now that the sale is here, let’s see how much you can save!
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 2025 Deals?
ADT hasn’t released its Black Friday 2025 deals yet. Last year, ADT offered two main deals, which were:
- Save up to 60-percent on ADT Plus systems that support the Trusted Neighbor feature.
- Save at least 30-percent if you purchase a security system online, with packages starting at $199.
Let’s discuss the bigger one first.
60-Percent Off ADT Plus Trusted Neighbor Systems
Trusted Neighbor uses your ADT devices – particularly smart locks, doorbell cameras, and security cameras – your security system can let people you trust inside your home during certain times or situations. For example, if you’re away on a holiday trip, you can ask your trusted neighbor to water your indoor plants everyday at 3 p.m., and ADT will let you in without need for you to do anything.
The Front Door Protection package (retails for $734) is the minimum required system to use Trusted Neighbor. ADT has marked its price down to $295. That’s over $400 in savings. Additionally, you can build out the package with additional equipment. Add-ons are all at least 30-percent off.

Discounted Packages + 30-Percent Off
Now, if you don’t care much for the trusted Neighbor feature, ADT offers other discounted packages.
- Security Starter (normally $349, down to $199): This package includes three door/window sensors and one motion sensor, good for a small house or apartment.
- Video Essentials (normally $528, down to $199): This package includes the same components as the Security Starter kit, but comes with your choice of indoor or outdoor camera. This is great if you want to dip your toes into adding video security to your home.
In addition to those discounted packages, accessories and additional components are 30-percent less. These discounts will also be extended to ADT’s Cyber Monday sale.
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.
Is ADT a Good Buy on Black Friday?
Perhaps you’re pondering if Black Friday is the right time to buy an ADT system. Allow us to offer you our expert take.
First and foremost, we think ADT is a good buy any day of the year. It’s not because it’s affordable – in fact, we know from studying ADT’s pricing that there are security systems that are a lot more affordable than it. However, ADT is worth its slightly higher prices, because of the quality of equipment (many of which are from Google Nest) and the exceptional monitoring service it provides.
Of course, you’re probably here to decide how you can make the most of home security Black Friday sales going on. And granted, ADT doesn’t offer the biggest discounts. On Black Friday, we see a number of security systems starting at less than $100 thanks.
We still think ADT is a good buy though. Take a look at our guide on ADT deals and you’ll see that it doesn’t typically offer discounts as big as it does on Black Friday. With the quality of its systems, we’d take any deal we can get – even if there are cheaper options around.

What Else Can You Get on Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025?
Those deals we mentioned above – 60-percent off Trusted Neighbor packages and 30-percent off site-wide – will run until Cyber Monday. Better deals generally don’t show up over the weekend, so we recommend grabbing the savings once they are live.
We also recommend checking out ADT’s closest competitions. They are also running sales right now. SimpliSafe’s Black Friday sale offers up to 70-percent off on equipment, while Vivint’s Black Friday special offer includes three months of free monitoring and a free doorbell camera.
