Update
Effective September 30 2024, ADT will retire the SureMD ASUS tablet (distributed by LifeShield), and users will no longer be able to use it to arm/disarm their security system and view weather and cameras. Because we are committed to providing the latest innovations in safer, smarter home security, we need to retire this tablet and its older version of Windows.
We encourage users to utilize their Blue by ADT app or keypad/touchpad to arm and disarm their system. The Blue by ADT app lets users conveniently access and control their security system on their smartphone anytime, from virtually anywhere.
Overview
Blue by ADT launched a new brand at the turn of 2020. Along with that, we have also updated several other features for your Blue by ADT Security Touchpad. Here are some of the new features and changes you can take advantage of.
