Does my ADT control panel have a camera?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

Your ADT control panel does have a camera. It is a built-in camera located on the 7″ touchscreen panel of your all-in-one system. This camera is designed to snap and record a photo each time your system is disarmed.

Having a built-in camera on your control panel can provide an added layer of security and convenience. Let’s explore some of the benefits and features of this camera:

1. Enhanced Security: The camera on your control panel allows you to capture images of anyone who disarms your system. This can be useful in identifying potential intruders or monitoring who has access to your home or business.

2. Visual Verification: In the event of an alarm, the camera can provide visual verification of the situation. This can help reduce false alarms and enable more efficient response from emergency services.

3. Photo Logs: The camera automatically takes a photo each time the system is disarmed, creating a log of activity. This log can be accessed through your ADT mobile app or online account, allowing you to review the photos and track system usage.

4. Remote Viewing: With the ADT mobile app, you can remotely view the live feed from your control panel’s camera. This can give you peace of mind when you’re away from home, allowing you to check in and see what’s happening in real-time.

5. Two-Way Audio: Some control panel cameras also feature two-way audio capabilities. This means you can not only see what’s happening but also communicate with anyone near the panel. This can be useful for greeting visitors, providing instructions, or even deterring potential intruders.

It’s important to note that the camera on your control panel is designed to enhance the security of your home or business. ADT ensures the privacy and security of your camera feed, and access to the images is strictly controlled.

The 7″ touchscreen all-in-one panel of your ADT system includes a built-in camera that captures photos each time the system is disarmed. This camera provides added security, visual verification, photo logs, remote viewing, and potentially two-way audio capabilities. It’s a valuable feature that can enhance the effectiveness and convenience of your ADT security system.
