Why ADT's Model is Outdated
ADT was founded in 1874. Their business model hasn't changed much since.
The ADT Problem
- $45-60/month monitoring fees forever
- 3-year contracts with 75% cancellation penalty
- You don't own the equipment
- Outdated 1080p cameras (it's 2026!)
- Aggressive door-to-door sales tactics
- Subcontractors do the actual install
The DFW LED Lite Difference
- One-time payment, own everything forever
- No contracts, no monthly fees, no BS
- 4K Ultra HD cameras with night vision
- Free mobile app with instant alerts
- Local family-owned business (not a franchise)
- We do the install ourselves, guaranteed
Real Cost Comparison Over Time
After 5 years, ADT customers have paid $2,700+ in monitoring and own nothing.
Our customers own their 4K system outright and pay $0/month forever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from ADT
Why choose DFW LED Lite over ADT for security cameras?
ADT charges $30-60/month for monitoring plus equipment rental fees. With DFW LED Lite, you pay once for professional installation and own your cameras outright. No monthly fees, no contracts, no hidden costs. You save $600+ per year while getting higher quality 4K cameras.
Do I need monthly monitoring for home security cameras?
No! Modern security cameras send instant alerts to your smartphone. You can monitor your property 24/7 from anywhere in the world for free. ADT's monitoring is outdated - you don't need to pay someone to watch a screen when your phone does it automatically.
What's the total cost difference between ADT and DFW LED Lite?
ADT: $200-500 installation + $45/month average = $740-1,040 first year, then $540/year ongoing. DFW LED Lite: $1,500-3,000 one-time for professional 4K system. You break even in 2-3 years, then save $500+/year forever. Plus you OWN the equipment.
Can I view my cameras remotely without ADT monitoring?
Absolutely! All our camera systems include free apps for iPhone and Android. View live feeds, get motion alerts, review recordings, and even talk through cameras - all from your phone, anywhere in the world, with zero monthly fees.
What happens if ADT goes out of business or I move?
With ADT, you're locked into contracts and their proprietary equipment often can't be transferred. With our systems, you own everything. Moving? We can relocate your system or you can take it with you. No contracts, no penalties.
Are DFW LED Lite cameras better quality than ADT?
Yes. ADT typically installs 1080p cameras to keep their costs down. We install 4K cameras with night vision, wide-angle lenses, and weatherproof housings. Better image quality means better evidence if you ever need it.
Do you offer professional monitoring like ADT?
We focus on self-monitoring because it's more effective and free. However, if you want professional monitoring, our systems are compatible with third-party services like Noonlight ($5/month) - still 90% cheaper than ADT.
What about ADT's brand recognition and reputation?
ADT is known for aggressive sales tactics, long contracts, and hidden fees. Check their BBB rating and reviews. We're a local family-owned business with 5-star Google reviews. We live in DFW and stake our reputation on every install.
How long does installation take?
Most residential systems are installed in 4-6 hours. We handle everything - running cables, mounting cameras, configuring the system, and training you on the app. ADT often takes multiple visits and uses subcontractors.
What areas do you serve for security camera installation?
We serve all of Dallas-Fort Worth including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, Grapevine, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Denton, and surrounding areas.
Do your cameras work with Alexa and Google Home?
Yes! Our camera systems integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. View your cameras on smart displays, use voice commands, and integrate with your existing smart home setup.
What warranty do you offer vs ADT?
We offer a 2-year warranty on all equipment and installation. ADT's equipment warranty is often tied to your contract - cancel early and you lose coverage. Our warranty is unconditional.
