For decades, ADT has been a household name in home and business security. With their traditional video surveillance systems and security services, they’ve earned the trust of millions. But, as technology advances, can ADT’s conventional surveillance systems continue to meet the ever-growing security needs of businesses in today’s fast-paced world?

The answer is increasingly no. In this blog, we will explore the hidden drawbacks of ADT’s traditional video surveillance and explain how AI-powered solutions like Arcadian.ai are revolutionizing the security landscape. With Arcadian.ai, businesses can now move beyond the limitations of conventional systems to a smarter, more efficient, and proactive security solution.

The Old Guard: Why ADT's Traditional Surveillance Falls Short

ADT has long been known for its traditional CCTV cameras, video monitoring, and alarm services. However, despite their historical success, ADT’s surveillance systems face significant challenges in meeting the demands of modern security. Here are some of the key drawbacks of ADT’s conventional video surveillance systems:

1. Limited Real-Time Threat Detection

Traditional video surveillance systems, like those offered by ADT, simply record footage. If an incident happens, human monitors or security guards must watch hours of footage to detect any suspicious behavior. This reactive approach creates significant gaps in security and can result in delayed responses to critical events.

• Drawback: ADT’s systems only alert after an event occurs, leaving businesses vulnerable in real-time.

• Solution: Arcadian.ai’s AI-powered surveillance offers real-time threat detection. Using machine learning, it can instantly identify abnormal behavior or potential threats and send immediate alerts, enabling a faster response.

2. High Maintenance Costs

ADT’s traditional surveillance systems rely heavily on on-site equipment that requires regular maintenance. These physical cameras, recorders, and storage units often break down and need costly repairs, not to mention upgrades as technology advances. This adds up to a significant ongoing expense for businesses.

• Drawback: Physical infrastructure means continuous maintenance costs, especially as older systems become obsolete.

• Solution: Arcadian.ai’s cloud-based solution eliminates the need for on-site equipment and physical maintenance. With no local hardware required, businesses can reduce their overhead and free up valuable resources for other operational needs.

3. Limited Scalability

As businesses grow, so do their security needs. Expanding an ADT system to cover additional locations or areas can be complex and costly. Installing additional cameras, upgrading storage systems, and hiring more security personnel or staff to monitor the expanded system adds significant operational complexity.

• Drawback: Scaling ADT’s traditional surveillance systems is both costly and time-consuming.

• Solution: Arcadian.ai’s cloud-based, AI-driven platform offers seamless scalability. Businesses can expand their surveillance system across multiple locations without the need for complex, expensive hardware setups or lengthy installation processes.

4. Dependence on Human Surveillance

Traditional video surveillance systems like ADT’s require human operators to review footage, identify threats, and take action. While human vigilance is important, it's prone to fatigue, errors, and oversight, which can lead to missed threats. In addition, the reliance on human guards is costly, especially for businesses with multiple locations.

• Drawback: Human error and fatigue can result in missed security threats, and on-site guards come with high labor costs.

• Solution: Arcadian.ai replaces human oversight with AI-powered automation, ensuring 24/7 monitoring without the risk of errors or fatigue. AI performs continuous, real-time analysis, identifying potential risks and triggering alerts instantly.
