Samsung and ADT partner to launch new smart home security kit

Samsung announced a new partnership with ADT today that will make automated smart homes even more secure. The companies are launching a new self-installed security product powered by Samsung's SmartThings platform and ADT's professional monitoring services. 

The new Home Security Starter Kit ($549) from both companies comes with a security hub, two door and window detectors, and small motion detector. The security hub, which comes with a 7-inch touchscreen display, can also be used to control other SmartThings devices. But that's not all.
