ADT Blu vs. Guardian Protection: What's the Difference?
Get quick answers about DIY security, professional installation, and why Guardian takes the guesswork out.
If you’re asking that question, maybe you should just go with Guardian. But yes, ADT Blu is positioned as a DIY security system that customers set up themselves using the ADT+ app. Guardian Protection provides professionally installed home security systems with free professional installation included.
Yes. Every Guardian Protection system comes with free professional installation. No tutorial-pausing. No guessing where sensors should go. No wondering if you did it right. That all equals less stress!
Because your home is not a one-size-fits-all setup. Device placement, entry points, camera angles, Wi-Fi strength, and system setup all matter. Guardian technicians help install your system for your home, so you do not have to figure it out alone. Now you can get to the other home projects you have been putting off forever. :)
Absolutely. Guardian gives you smart control from the app, plus professionally installed devices and 24/7 monitoring. You still get convenience, just without the DIY setup stress.
We get it. Choosing your devices can feel empowering. But protection is not just about what comes in the box. Guardian helps you choose the right system, then professionally installs it so everything works together from the start. Sounds pretty perfect, right?
