How to File a ADT Security Camera Spying Claim

⚡ Deadline approaching: May 30, 2026.

What Is the ADT Security Camera Spying Settlement?

ADT faced a class action after it was discovered that a Dallas-area technician had added his personal email to over 200 customers' ADT Pulse accounts, giving him unauthorized access to their home security camera feeds for over four years. The technician reportedly viewed intimate footage of women and couples.

The settlement provides payments to affected ADT customers and enhanced security protocols going forward.

The case was brought as a class action, meaning a group of consumers with similar claims sued collectively. Rather than go to trial, the defendant agreed to settle. Class members — people who were affected by the alleged conduct — are eligible to file a claim and receive a share of the settlement fund.

Who Is Eligible to File a Claim?

• ADT Pulse or ADT Control customers between 2017-2021
• Priority given to customers whose accounts were directly accessed by the technician
• Broader class includes all ADT Pulse customers during the period

No documentation is required to file a basic claim. You self-certify your eligibility when submitting the claim form. The settlement administrator verifies class membership against the defendant's own records.

How Much Can You Get?

Individual payouts are estimated at $5k–$1000k per person. The final amount each claimant receives depends on:

• The total number of valid claims filed
• Whether you have documentation supporting higher-tier compensation
• Attorney fees and administrative costs deducted from the fund

Filing is free and takes under 10 minutes. Even smaller payouts are worth claiming — there is no cost or risk to you.

How to File Your ADT Security Camera Spying Claim — Step by Step

1. Go to the official claims website: Visit adtsettlement.com/. This is the only authorized portal to file your claim. Avoid third-party sites that charge fees to "help" you file.
2. Check your eligibility: Confirm that you meet the class definition — typically that you were a customer or were affected during the specified class period.
3. Complete the claim form: Provide your name, contact information, and any details about your relationship to the defendant. No receipts or proof of purchase are required for a standard claim.
4. Select your payment method: Most administrators offer check, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or virtual prepaid card. Choose whichever is most convenient.
5. Submit and save your confirmation: After submitting, you'll receive a confirmation number or email. Save it — you'll need it to check the status of your claim.

The filing process typically takes 5–10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this settlement legitimate?

Yes. This is a court-supervised class action settlement. It is overseen by U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida. The claims are administered by Epiq Class Action & Claims Solutions.

Do I need a lawyer to file?

No. This is a class action — class counsel (the attorneys who filed the case) represents all class members. Filing your individual claim is free and does not require hiring a personal attorney.

How long until I get paid?

Payments are distributed after the settlement receives final court approval and all claims are processed. This typically takes several months to a year after the claims deadline. Be patient — the timeline is set by the court, not the administrator.
