ADT is bringing professional in-home installation to Apple's wall-mounted HomeView, giving U.S. buyers a built-in setup option instead of handling the mount themselves. The service also extends to eligible Apple Home Collection gear and other smart-home accessories in most U.S. areas, with availability starting this fall.
HomeView's wall version keeps the tabletop model's 7-inch screen, so buyers do not trade visibility for a cleaner fixed placement. It is priced at $299 in the U.S., matching the tabletop option and making installation the main choice rather than a jump in hardware.
ADT installation in most U.S. areas turns Apple's smart-home hardware into a service-backed purchase, not just a boxed device. That widens HomeView's reach to buyers who want connected-home gear without taking on wall work themselves or finding a separate installer.
