Common Myths and Misconceptions
Myth 1: All ADT cameras are automatically compatible with Streett.
This is false. Compatibility depends on the specific ADT camera model and sometimes requires firmware updates on both the camera and the Streett app. Always check the compatibility list before attempting to add a camera.
Myth 2: Adding an ADT camera to Streett will compromise the security of your ADT system.
This is generally untrue. Reputable apps like Streett use secure methods to integrate with other systems, typically requiring authentication through the ADT app. However, always use caution when granting app access to your security systems.
Myth 3: Integrating ADT with Streett will significantly slow down your network.
This isn’t necessarily true. The impact on network speed depends on factors like the quality of your internet connection, the number of cameras, and the resolution of the video feed. High-resolution streaming will use more bandwidth.
