Having had an ADT security system I can also tell you from experience that there is not going to be a police car rushing to check on the open bed of your pickup like the video shows. Someone might drive by in the next 24-48 hours.

Let's all pray they let us record all cameras, maybe in the cloud or right to USB stick. COME ON FORD, I mean...ADT.

Agree! Why not utilize the tech that is already installed by way of software updates? Cameras should be able to broadcast up to cloud servers and record to view through FordPass. Make it an additional monthly subscription for additional revenue flow.

Another monthly subscription... I don't think so.

I think what tesla does on their cars is an amazing thing. Tesla has built in dashcam and security monitoring your car when you're not inside of it. It records with all the cars cameras and gives you almost all necessary angles. If anything happens to your car while your away it records and saves the footage to a usb locked in the glovebox.

Did ADT pay Ford for this?

What a bunch of baloney.

I do wonder if some of the vehicle off stuff requires a bigger battery. I.e., might be possible with hybrid but may be too much of a battery drain with conventional engines. With proximity sensors could run with car battery because cameras mostly off but otherwise you need to record 24/7 for visual motion detection which may be a bit of a drain on standard battery.
