ADT has added two new capabilities to its ADT+ smart‑home security platform: a wireless Live Light yard sign that illuminates automatically when an alarm is triggered, and a My Safety personal‑safety service that extends ADT’s professional monitoring network to customers’ mobile devices. Live Light is priced at $49.99, includes professional installation, and is offered at no extra cost to existing ADT+ monitoring subscribers. My Safety is also free for all ADT+ professional‑monitoring customers, allowing them to receive real‑time alerts while on the go.
The ADT+ platform, launched in 2024, is the foundation of the company’s shift toward a comprehensive home‑intelligence ecosystem. By adding non‑intrusive, camera‑free sensing with Live Light and mobile‑centric safety services with My Safety, ADT seeks to differentiate itself from do‑it‑yourself competitors such as Vivint, SimpliSafe, and Ring. The new features reinforce ADT’s strategy to provide a seamless, professional‑monitoring experience that extends beyond the front door.
In recent financial results, ADT reported total revenue of $1.3 billion in Q1 2025 and $5.1 billion for the full year, with adjusted EPS rising to $0.89. The company’s guidance for 2025 remains on track, and the addition of Live Light and My Safety is positioned to support continued revenue growth by expanding the ADT+ ecosystem and attracting new customers while deepening value for existing subscribers.
Management highlighted the strategic importance of the new services. CEO Jim DeVries said, "ADT is well positioned to achieve full year 2025 guidance with solid growth in cash flow and earnings per share, while investing in expanded capabilities to grow and serve our customer base and returning capital to shareholders." Vice President of Product Management Jimmy Lin added, "Peace of mind shouldn't stop at the front door... My Safety brings the strength of ADT's professional monitoring network into everyday life, creating a smarter, more connected layer of personal security while on-the-go."
The launch of Live Light and My Safety is expected to strengthen ADT’s competitive position by offering unique, professionally installed hardware and a mobile‑centric safety layer that competitors lack. While the immediate revenue impact is modest—Live Light generates a new $49.99 fee per unit—the services are designed to increase customer retention, reduce churn, and create additional upsell opportunities within the ADT+ ecosystem. The expansion aligns with ADT’s broader goal of transforming its legacy security business into a full‑stack home‑intelligence platform, positioning the company for long‑term growth in a market increasingly dominated by integrated smart‑home solutions.
