ADT Cameras Guide: Indoor vs. Outdoor vs. Video Doorbell Cameras

ADT is one of the nation’s leading home security companies, but with such a wide array of equipment available to its customers, it can be tricky to know which of its devices does what. We’ve decided to put ADT’s indoor camera, outdoor camera, and doorbell camera side by side so you can see how each one works, what makes them alike, and what makes them different.

We’ll also compare them to similar products on the market, like the Google Nest Cam and Ring Video Doorbell, so you can see how they stack up.

ADT home security cameras reviews

ADT Indoor Security Camera

The ADT Indoor Security Camera can be mounted on your wall using the mounting plate or placed on a tabletop with the included stand. It must be plugged into a wall outlet for power, but it connects wirelessly to your ADT Control app through your Wi-Fi network.

Pros	Cons
Wall mount or tabletop Infrared night vision Motion-triggered recording Live video feed	720p resolution 30-second recordings

ADT Outdoor Security Camera

The ADT Outdoor Security Camera works much like the indoor camera with 720p resolution, infrared night vision, and thirty-second clips with a five-minute cool-off period. What makes the outdoor camera different is its weatherproof design that can withstand temperatures between -40°F and -158F°, with a built-in heater that will kick in if the temperature drops below 42°F.

Pros	Cons
Weatherproof design Internal heater PIR sensors	Narrow field of view 720p resolution 30-second recordings

ADT Video Doorbell Camera

ADT decided to get in on the video doorbell action by offering its own ADT Video Doorbell Camera with two-way audio. The doorbell’s microphone and speaker allow you to use the Control app to answer your door from anywhere and chat with the person on your doorstep.

Pros	Cons
Two-way talk Rechargeable battery PIR sensors Wide viewing angle	720p resolution
