    I've had ADT for a long time. They were good in the beginning, and then the Monitronics offered me a better deal. I got cameras all downstairs and things on all the doors and all the windows. So that was why I switched. But then they didn't do right either so I switched back to ADT. We were happy that the house was safe, so we were good.

    I called ADT and reported something. The alarm was going on and on and when my son said, “Mom, let's turn off the alarm,” I said, “No. Don't turn it off. I want to see how long it's gonna take for someone to answer me.” If the alarm goes on, they're supposed to call. I just wanted to see because I've been having the alarm for 30 something years. Finally, after maybe 20 minutes that the alarm has been going on, someone answered me and told me that they'd transfer me to the right department. When he came in, he spoke to me and told me to do this and do that, but I didn't know what to do. My neighbor was outside and I asked them to help me because by that time, my son stepped out. It was not a big problem though.

    Since I've been with ADT, I called them about three times. They've been very nice to me. I'm not gonna leave ADT. The only reason why I did call to complain was if there was someone who came here and hurt me, why did they call me to ask me if I was okay. They were supposed to send me someone. So, the following day, I was the one who called ADT. I said, “Never mind. Don't send nobody because my neighbor already solved the problem for me.”

    One of my batteries went out here probably a couple of weeks ago, and ADT called me and told me what to do and how to repair it and sent me a new battery. I had to pay for it, but they sent me a new battery in the mail, and everything works fine. I have one camera in my living room facing the front door. I have a smoke alarm in my basement, and in my family room. I was dissatisfied with ADT because they kept getting more expensive. I complained about it. And since I'm old, they gave me a price and locked it in. I won't ever have to pay anything any higher than that. So, they listened to what I had to say and they acted upon it. So, now I don't have to worry about it. Every month, I know exactly what it's going to be.

    There are other companies that are less expensive. However, we're happy with ADT. We have alarms on our doors and windows and a fire detector. We have the motion detectors, but we don't use them because we have cats that we leave at home. A couple of years ago, we put in a new door to the basement. ADT had to come and put a new detector. We also had some of our detectors removed. We had some that weren't very important, but they would go off. They're old and were breaking.

    We had a different kind of door that needed a different kind of detector. The installers came out and put it in quickly. There were four detectors that we decided to get rid of. We were able to do that. They were able to walk me through how to do that over the phone so I can do it without them coming out. They were good. We've had our alarm go off accidentally a couple of times and we needed to call ADT and have the alarm turned off.

    I had a professional and concise experience with ADT. I haven't had to call that much, but when I did, it was good. I had to once late at night and I got a live person on the phone, and helped me out. My alarm went off. I wasn't home and I didn't know why, so I called. As long as it wasn't armed, it wouldn't go off, so ADT guided me through that. Also, my keypad showed, “Battery low, Battery low” so the gentleman came out and changed the battery. I couldn't find the box. He found it because he found the wiring. I walked all over this house and couldn't find it. It was under a staircase in the basement and they were behind some clothes that I had a pole there with clothes.

    The lady that I talked to was wonderful and I was up and down three flights of stairs. I said, “I've been in this house 29 years. I've never seen a box.” ADT's technician looked in one of my pantries where I would have never looked in the corner of the wall and saw wires. He knew right away where it was, and we went down into the basement and found it. I was also able to get someone to come out here and change the battery on a motion detector that was very high in my foyer. There's no way I could have done anything like that, so everything was good.

    ADT has a really good rating in the neighborhood where I live, and I've never heard anything negative about them. They were very knowledgeable and price-effective. When I signed up, they had a special and I got a very, very good price. They put the devices that they put in your door and windows for an excellent price. Plus, I got two fobs that I use all the time. I go on cruises, and they work on the app. It's worldwide coverage. The installation guy was wonderful. He knew everything. He had worked in IT. He was fabulous. The system exceeded my expectations. I hit the alarm by mistake, and they called right away.

    They were very amenable to anything that I've questioned them about. Like you sign the contract, and then in the middle of my contract, they raised the price, and I called them back and said they can't do that. So, they said, "Okay." Because initially, they said that if I signed up for a year, they wouldn't increase my service. ADT exceeded my expectations. So far, 90% of the time, it works. If I have a glitch and I call them, it's taken care of immediately. It's a wonderful feeling to know that I'm protected in my house.

I'm in a nice, safe community but then, it could be a quack who lives here, too. I have a camera, but just for my door. And the guy gave me a new doorbell because the old one didn't work. It still rings funny, though. They said I need a new charm, but I never bought one. It's not ADT's fault. The service is good.

    Buyer Beware! I signed up for services a few months ago. At the time I explained that I have some physical limitations and was told that ADT would send out a technician. So when I followed up with this I was then told that I signed up for DIY- Do it yourself. I questioned this because why would I have signed up for that with physical limitations? So then I heard back and the response was that if I wanted a tech to set it up it would cost $350.00! I was never told this from the beginning. So basically I've been paying for a service I can't use! Definitely do your research! Never again!

    Everything has been excellent in my experience with ADT. I've been with them for 24 years now. Any time we had issues with it, like when I had an error code that was coming up on the box, they got it resolved in a very quick manner. When I experience error code issues, I go online. If online cannot do it, then I call and they do a video session and they get it fixed. When they had to come out and upgrade our system to wireless, they were very professional and got it all done in a hurry. ADT is a good company and they're very reliable.

I had one issue one time when I was working on my daughter's bedroom, putting in new outlets. I didn't realize that when I hit the circuit board downstairs to shut it down, so I didn't get shocked changing out the outlets, that I'd cut my ADT. The police showed up at my house. I came walking out of the bedroom with a knife and a screwdriver in my hand, and they said, “Sir, please drop the knife.” I said, “What's going on?” And he was asking my wife, “Are you OK?” But we got that resolved quickly, and then he came into the bedroom and said, “Wow, you're doing a great job in here.” It was a little weird at first, but it worked out.

    My experience with ADT's system is somewhere between good and very good because I've had several downtimes. One of the cameras went off and I could not get it to come back on, so I had to call. I talked to a person every time I initiated a call, and it was very good. One time, I called in the technology department and talked to a lady who, I felt, did all that she could do to get my system back up, but she couldn't. But I got a call from one of their mobile technicians who made an appointment and came out and got it taken care of. ADT is a good security company. However, it's a little pricey compared to some of the other companies. But I felt that the price was worth it with what ADT offered.

    I called ADT one day and told them that a certain person is not supposed to be here, so they should look out if he comes to the house or the alarm goes off because of him. I knew that he would try to come back and get in here, that's why I called in Sunday and told ADT's rep about him. I asked the operator if he wanted his name and he told me no. The next day, I had a break-in and that person broke my back door as well as the glasses out of my window. The alarm went off, the patrol came here, and ADT dispatched their guys. But since they didn't have that information from their operator, they let the intruder into my home after he told them that he left his keys in here. I was puzzled because I didn't want him here, yet he was allowed to come into the home after I specifically called customer service about him.

    The guy that was investigating it didn't do anything because he hadn’t had that information. But the police was called and they took a report for it. So now, have a back door with a piece of plywood over it. ADT's rep should have taken the right information and communicated that properly. They could have told the police that that person was not supposed to be here and they could have arrested him. But they didn’t, so they let him go.

    I then called ADT and asked if they could help me out with the bills by lowering it. But they didn't do anything. They just started charging me the same fee. And every year, it would go up, until I talked to somebody because I caught it. I was going to tell them that I couldn't afford the services, like police coming out and the investigator coming. But they didn't want to lose me as a customer, so they said they were going to do lower the rate for me. But when I looked back at my records, nothing was done. Other than that, I have ADT for 17 years and their customer service has been good.

    I've had ADT for 23 years. It was in our house when we purchased it. We did an upgrade maybe in '09, and then we added the glass break in 2018. My biggest thing is that I feel as though when they sell you the glass breaks and the carbon monoxide, they should go through instructions on how to replace batteries. The beeping can start in the middle of the night, and it's not easy because there's a process you have to go through in order to not cause an alarm event. I ended up with alarm events both times, and there's a process in which you enter your codes to clear the unit. They should go through that stuff with you. There should be like a cheat sheet.

    It's frustrating. If it beeped, you can't leave it. You have to get up and change it then. It's really a chore if it happens in the middle of the night. I have rheumatoid arthritis. My body hurts. When a technician calls because you have an event, then you gotta explain everything, and sometimes people on the other end don't get it. Sometimes they're trying to get you to fix it, but it doesn't work. They end up sending over to technical support, and usually, they help, but it's a process.

    We had ADT for a long time ago and then we stopped it. But we're both getting up in age and we have a very nice big house in the woods. So we decided to go back and start using ADT again. About four years ago, we updated our system and added some window breaking stuff. When I needed to talk to someone, I called the number that I was supposed to call, and there was always somebody there almost immediately to pick up. Several months ago, I had a beeping going on downstairs in my lower level. I thought it was a bad battery. I have a motion detector in my lower level. It didn't fix it because it wasn't my ADT. I have a carbon monoxide detector very close by, and that's what was beeping. I replaced that battery.

    I've had very, very, very few issues with ADT. The last one we had was a big one. We were gone for like four days for a wedding, a wedding out of state. And on the very last day, we got a call from ADT, and it was like 11 o'clock at night or something, that our lower level outside door was open, that the alarm went off. So, I called my neighbor who is our go to person. And she looked out. She couldn't see anything. She called the police. The police came right over. They walked around the yard, looked around, couldn't find anything. Well, I said, “Okay. Let it go, and I'll check it.” So, I talked to ADT. And I said, “Let it go. I'll check it when I get home.”

    What happened was, I have a lower level, a regular door, but then I have an aluminum storm door. And what happened was I, myself, had brought in some stuff through that door. And it was a load of like eight bags of salt for my softener. And I didn't tightly close the inside door, which has the alarm on it. But I locked the outside storm door. It's an aluminum storm door. I locked that one, so the police could not get in. But what happened was there was a huge wind that night that actually blew in through that storm door and pushed open the inside door that set the alarm off. So, it was totally my fault. I didn't close that door completely and lock it. But the process worked perfectly. The actual process is, if there was an issue and we weren't here, what would happen? Well, it happened. It was almost like a test, and it worked. I called my neighbor. She called the police and ADT or whatever. It all worked out fine.

    I like the features of the system. When the guy came out, it's a little bit expensive. And I'm being honest with you on this whole thing. I didn't realize it was like a five-year deal or something on the equipment or something like that. We're both on fixed incomes and we've been looking at ways to lower some costs. I do notice that ADT is not cheap. But I'm happy with it.

My son-in-law was happy with being able to go into the app and figure out what was happening when the battery went down. One of ADT's workers came for that. There was a question about the cameras, because they were not working. The rep made me nervous that it would cost me an awful lot for the cameras. But when they came to fix the cameras, it was not as bad as the rep made me think. They were very supportive because I had a warranty on it.

It was before the time when a lot of the do-it-yourself home security systems were available. ADT's reps have always been responsive and straightforward. When I call, they would have to get back to me because there wasn't a rep available to take my call at the time. Sometimes, how they did the billing is confusing. Other than that, no issues. My system does what I want it to do. I've done one or two where ADT asked me if I'm comfortable doing the work myself, and they have a technician call using technology a phone Zoom where they can use my phone camera to see what I'm looking at. They can walk me through the installation of a sensor so they're very user-friendly in terms of technology.

    One of the drivers for me upgrading was the system has been in the house for 25 years and it was put in by a different security company who went out of business, when it changed over to ADT. Some of the sensors that have been on our windows for 25 years began to fail. ADT was easily able to come out and change those sensors and they walked me through the existing sensors that didn't necessarily need to be changed using that online phone, Zoom-type connection so I could change the batteries myself and make adjustments.

    ADT is a reputable company and does a good job. But I wish they offered more on-site checks like they used to, instead of guiding you through it on the phone. It used to be that you could go on a maintenance plan and the techs would come out. They've stopped it, unless it's something severe. I don't have the kind of time to get my ladder out and do this and that. So, the customer service support is not very good.

    I have been an ADT customer for several years. The equipment continues to not work properly. For example, my alarm goes off even when the house is not armed, the glass break alarm continues to go off when no glass is broken and nothing in the house is dropped or broken, the alarm has gone off when I am in the house. The camera on the ceiling goes on when the alarm is in stay mode and is not supposed to do that, so ADT is recording me in my house when they are not supposed to be.

    When I first joined ADT I had people come out and look at the equipment but they never figured out why things did not work properly at times. I have worked with tech support on the phone and nothing ever gets resolved. Today, a representative in monitoring called because the glass break alarm went off. I instructed her not to dispatch the police multiple times because my family lives a few house away and would come to my house to check that everything is as it is supposed to be.

    When asked my password, I shared four possible passwords because I could not remember which one it was. The third one I stated was correct and the rep still dispatched the police anyway. ADT randomly chooses when they call me if the alarms go off, and there have been times when I never get a call after the alarm goes off.

    When I came home from work today, there was not grace time to disarm the house. Instead the alarm went off immediately. I contacted ADT again after work and the supervisor lectured me making today's incident my fault. I could never recommend ADT as a monitoring company. Go elsewhere for good service and equipment that works.

    I would highly recommend ADT. Overall, it has been a great experience. They were the first provider I ran into, so I went with them. It was not a hard choice. I have spoken to many reps throughout the four years I've been with them and they have great customer care services. I have had a technician come into my home the first time and during the initial installation of the cameras and the Google Nest. I also have a Ring doorbell along with motion detectors. The instructions that you get whenever you have a malfunction on the alarm system is very user-friendly. I want to add a camera outdoors on one side of the house which I don't have eyes on.

    I had a different security system that I wasn't happy with, which is why I went with ADT. I have been with them for at least 10 years, and the good part is that it works. I forgot I had the alarm on when I came back home, and it went off within five minutes. There were two officers there and they were asking for my security code, but I couldn't find anything. There were also a couple of smoke calls because I had somebody cooking who didn’t know how to open the windows and let the smoke out or turn on the vent. But I was home at the time it was happening. So, I'm happy about that.

    I was halfway down to Georgia when I stopped at a wayside to sleep and realized I might not have set my alarm. I couldn’t get the app on my phone to work, so I called ADT. I told the rep that I only wanted the system locked, not unlocked, but she said she couldn’t do that. She offered to send something to me, but I told her I wouldn’t receive it for three weeks because it would go to my Wisconsin address and then back to Georgia. I wasn't happy with that situation, but it was my fault for not setting the alarm before I left.

    Another issue I’ve had is with the batteries. When I had the system put in, I said I didn’t want to deal with batteries because if I’m gone six or seven months out of the year and wouldn’t be here to change them. But the system does have batteries, and when they go bad, they need to be replaced. I can’t even get the cover off to change them myself. For that reason, I’ve considered taking the system out of my house. I asked if someone could come out and change the batteries, but when I called ADT, they told me they didn't have anyone available for that. I had somebody come out one time because I have no idea how to do it. ADT's reps tried to walk me through it, but the battery will just go bad again, and I’m 83 years old. I’m not going to remember how to keep doing that every time it needs to be replaced.

    I like the emergency part of the system, especially the smoke alarm and the temperature alerts when I’m not home. I don’t use the door security locks when I’m here. But if I go somewhere and I’m not going to be here, I like that I can lock it on the phone. I probably should get in the habit of setting it more often since I’m paying for it. I have large dogs, so I can’t use the motion detectors when they’re loose, but at night they’re secured, so I could set it then and just remember to turn it off in the morning.

    I just told somebody about ADT because their furnace went out. I explained that if they had ADT and their temperature dropped below the level they set, ADT would have called them instead of them not knowing until someone checked the house. That conversation happened a couple of weeks ago, and they even called me afterward to ask what system I have.

    I had some window sensors installed, and the ADT installer quoted me a price which they can do I was told. Then ADT called customer service call and said I owed more money, I explained to them that wasn't what I was quoted. They asked me, the customer, to try and reach the installer by cell phone, and I was like, "Why should I do that?" So I did, but it didn't help. I then contacted corporate, and it's been over a month with no progress. They did eventually take some money off and made me agree to a new 5-year contract. Case ID **.

    We got ADT when my daughter was 16 and everything went good with the installer. The system functions very well for the purposes that we've needed it for. It's also nice to tell me if I have a door open that I forgot to close 'cause it will blink at me and make me go, "Why are you blinking?" if I look at it. When we started, we were using cameras which we didn't need after my daughter moved out. We got it in security to be able to spy on my children, more or less, and we've adapted what we had it for. Now, we use it because we travel so it's nice to have that house piece.

    My sense of security with ADT is very good. I know the system is gonna alert me if someone comes in the house 'cause I've accidentally set it off myself. I like that I have it set up that if it goes off, it alerts me, but it also alerts my neighbor. In situations where it's gone off, I've always gotten calls from my neighbor. It also shows up on our emails. All the pieces have worked and at this point, I'm blessed. No one has ever tried to break into my house, but I know if they do, they're gonna get the same response I got when I triggered the system accidentally. We've had ADT for about 7 years and it's been good. We've had one issue, but clearly, we still have it.

But I called them, and they sent it to me. I hope their price does not go up. I pay almost $35. But I don't think I should have to pay a little bit more than that. But they are always on point.

    About 14 years ago, we called ADT and had a gentleman come out and explain the system and what would be covered. A lot of the things would be our choice and what we would want covered. We signed up and ever since, we have been members. We are happy with the service. My husband will be 86 and I'm 84. When there are places where we have to have batteries changed but couldn't reach them, I've called and bingo, it was not a problem. They would send somebody out and do whatever they had to do. The technicians we've had here have been very personable, which always means a lot.

    We were new to security systems and had no idea about them. But the rep explained the difference between a hard wired system and a battery-operated system which is what we have. With a hard wired system, the window will open from the bottom. If somebody is flexible or agile enough, they could open the window, slide it down from the top, and jump right in. We went with a battery-operated system because that would cover both the upper panes and the lower panes of the window. It has worked because fortunately, we have not had any bad experience since. We would recommend ADT to a friend. We're very happy with the experience we've had with them. It's nice to know that ADT is out there and is interested in their customers.

    A young man from ADT knocked at my door, Baron, and said, "Would you be interested?" I just had something stolen off my porch, and I said, "How much?" He told me the price and it was very good. I said, "Yes. Now." Baron did a lot of the presentation, then he called someone and he came and did the rest of it. Installation was very quick and I love the package I got, except the battery wore down in the unit. They didn't leave a booklet on what to do, so I got online and I asked what to do when the battery drops. It said, "First thing you do is you unscrew the screw at the bottom of the unit." There is no screw at the bottom of the unit though.

    Overall, the system is good except that we keep getting the notices, "Your unit is not turned on.” As soon as we're sure nobody's coming in or out of the house, we turn it on. My husband goes out of the house between 5:00 and 7:00 every morning, and he shuts it off then, but we had a situation wherein my husband opened the door without shutting the system off.

    Rating: ★☆☆☆☆. I’m a new customer and my experience with ADT has been very frustrating. I paid a lot for equipment and scheduled a technician for installation. The technician was professional and explained everything well, but the installation couldn’t be completed due to incorrect account information and a malfunctioning touchscreen panel.

    Afterward, I was transferred multiple times between representatives, then to a manager, and finally to corporate, none of whom could resolve the issue or offer accommodations. I felt ignored and unfairly blamed for something that was not my fault. I now have a new appointment scheduled, and its outcome will determine if I continue with ADT. My one-star rating is solely because the technician was excellent—everyone else failed to provide basic customer support.

    Don't know what has happened to ADT. They use to be a great company with excellent customer service. However, with my most recent equipment issue, I scheduled an appointment for a 4 hour time slot only for the tech to show-up 3 hours late with little in the way of updates. The tech shows-up and confirms what I told the representative when scheduling the appointment. Not prepare to perform the repair, states we have to reschedule for the repair. This comes at a cost of $59. Rescheduled for the panel replacement only for them to cancel the day of the appointment after already waiting 2 hours into the 4 hour time slot. Try to reschedule for the following day, only to be told the are full-up and have to reschedule for days later. I rescheduled for the next soonest available time and ask to have the local manager to call to discuss this situation. Of-course no call.

    The tech shows-up the morning of the next scheduled repair only to welcome the tech and immediately be told there are no notations on the repair order as to being no-charge (defective equipment) and instead of waiting a few minutes to get clarity from ADT account representative, the tech says he cannot wait that he has other appointments. He proceeds to tell me I will have to reschedule yet again! This is now the 3rd day having to take-off and make arrangement to be at the house.... Truly unbelievable. I've been a customer of ADT for over 10 years with 3 different house... No more!! They just lost a long term customer and they will lose every other customer future customer I have a chance to influence. What had happened to this company and their customer service!

    I had been with ADT for a couple years and the service was just horrible! Customer Service is especially rude and if you're having an issue you can expect to grab a ladder and fix the issue on your own with them guiding you over the phone. They take advantage of your problem in trying to sell you MORE equipment. I cancelled service with them recently and at first they were going to give me a refund for the month I paid for, but when I wasn't interested in buying new equipment at a discounted rate, my refund was taken off the table. Crooks with no business integrity whatsoever! I'd consider another security company if I were you.

    This is by far the worst security system. I have had to deal with. I had my camaras installed by ADT Technician in October 2024. The technician did a horrible job, one camara is only pointing towards grass. The doorbell camara is pointing towards the wall. I called several times to have them position the camaras correctly (one mount is down and the other is up). The representative was no help. Only wanting me to pay extra cost for the technician to drive out. After it was their technician fault, sloppy work and didn't care.

    ADT has acquired the alarm company that I have been with for a long time. [Lifesheild] They changed the name to Blue by ADT, and it's a complete nightmare every single time. They can never seem to locate my account. Yesterday, I was transferred a total of 11 times during the 2 hours I spent on the phone with them, and each time I had to reiterate my situation. Finally, I was connected to the person who was supposed to upgrade my system for free, as promised. I am not making this up. And she abruptly ended the call because her line was not working properly. I could barely comprehend a word she was saying. I suppose it was because I was inquiring about what was promised to me: a free system upgrade if I continue paying the $32 monthly fee. I have never missed a payment. This is completely unacceptable.

    They must improve the system or something so that everyone can benefit. They have deemed my devices obsolete simply because I did not purchase them from them directly. I acquired them from the company they bought out a few years ago. It feels like my money is not valued. They are certainly efficient at charging the monthly fee, that's for sure.

    I had ADT at my old house and I got them again at my current home. Most of the features of my service package are good. I just moved in the house and I'm probably going to end up wanting another camera because I put another building on my property. So far, the security system detects my neighbor's dogs and cats, so I know when they're walking around my yard. Also, when I called ADT for concerns, their reps were very helpful and friendly. They walked right through everything and got the system back online. Everything was great. As for ADT's price, it is not insane, but it's not perfect either. I use their app as well and it's accessible. But I'm kind of a caveman and I'd still be chiseling stone if it was up to me.

    I'm going to update and give them one more star as ADT fixed my problem. Response still took 2 weeks to get someone out to fix which is TOO LONG! However, the technician who came was courteous, and worked very hard to fix my problem. I do believe that their implementation of AI is lacking and in my case was useless. They need to ditch AI until they figure it out.... I had much better results when I finally got to a live person.

I called ADT to have a technician come & install it for me; when the guy came. He told me that this equipment is old & won't work with my new house. So, he quoted me for new equipment & service which he told me would be about $70 a month which I agreed. Now, I am stuck a with $4400 equipment for 5 years & $104 monthly bill.

    This company is terrible if I could give zero stars I would. To start with, they have a very lengthy contract, and anything you change they will add another 3 years to it. The insulation tech was terrible my boyfriend had to do half it. Here is the kicker, the cameras only work one at a time with 2.5 mins in-between, so they are worthless. They do not tell you that at installation. I had a tech come out (he was a hour late, no call no communication) because my cameras are not picking things up. He stood in front of it and said they work but you have to wait 3 mins for the other cameras to pick it up anything new. And then laughed and was like sorry that's just how they are.

    So I called to get information to cancel and got hung up on. So I called back and the only thing I could do was buy new Google cameras because that is what they are using now for 900$ AND add another year to my already 3 year contract. Blows my mind that they upgraded but wont upgrade existing customers. I can see now why they have a ongoing class action for overcharging people exc. I should have known better when they tried to charge me for a service call on THEIR cameras. STAY FAR FAR FAR AWAY from this company. There are much better ones out there with no contract and better customer service and way cheaper..

I got ADT shortly after I moved into my house, so I've had them for 10 years at least and I've never had any issues with the system. The app is handy and I like having it.

I requested a new keypad be installed and to change out an overhead door contact and an external door contact. After receiving the WO and see that I was charged 2x what I was quoted, I called ADT. I called the same date the work was done and after being on hold for 1 1/2 hrs & hung up on, I called back & was told I had to wait 48 hrs for the WO to show up. I called back & was told a credit was given.

    The following month, a 2nd charged for the work was applied to our account. We was not given a credit but was put on a flex payment plan. I have made multiple phone calls, talked to the technician's manager & told he couldn't help me with the charges and he could not transfer me or provide me a number of who could in the billing dept. I managed to get a hold of someone in the concierge billing dept only to be told that ADT has called me and replied to my email stating the additional charges were correct because they spoke to the technician. I informed her that was a lie because no one has called/emailed me. I pointed out that a keypad would not update the software, he changed out the keypad. Before he changed it, we asked him if we would be charged & he said no. Had he said yes, we would have said don't bother because we could still arm/disarm the system with the keypad.

    We were charged for the keypad & a wall mount for a keypad that was already mounted on a wall. When I asked about the additional sensors, I was told that they come in pairs & I was only quoted for 1 & that was on the sales dept for not quoting that correctly. There was already an existing sensor on the 2 doors they were just replacing them so they could connect to our system. I guess magnets need to be replaced as well, but that's was the explanation I was given about the extra contacts.

    The technician did not once tell us about any additional charges for the contacts, keypad, wall mount or even the batteries. He just put them all on the bill thinking no one would see it and complain. I have no problem paying for the original quote, but I shouldn't be charged for the tech upcharging for a bonus. We signed for the additional work in the amount of $514.18 not for that amount and anything else they wanted to charge for without telling us they were charging it. We were not informed of any additional charges. We did not agree to any additional charges.

I haven't had any break-ins or anything going off other than me forgetting to turn the alarm off sometimes when I walk in the door, and ADT promptly calls me back. That's good.

    I've been very happy with ADT for a lot of years, and even all the years before when I put it in for my mother. I put it in my mother's house before she passed, and I'm not gonna change even if I have a salesman come by all the time wanting me to change. The ADT system is so easy to operate from my phone.

    I started out with ADT before it was ADT. It was Newcastle. I've had them in my house for at least 20 years now and I like their service. They've been good and reasonable with me. I've had them in to do installs and repairs. If I ever had an issue, I would always call them online. Most times, they give me the right information over the phone and I'd be able to correct the issue myself. Right now, I'm completely satisfied with ADT. Anything that I've ever asked or them being here, it always went well.

    I just had ADT installed on Dec. 31, 2025. And this has been the worst experience ever. I am so disappointed that I am locked into this contract for 36 months but will not be renewing. ADT makes a lot of promises that they do not honor and their customer service is horrible as they hang up on you, set your service up through text message and then when you need help no longer respond. This experience I do not wish on anyone. If you are expecting a company to keep their promises, monitor your home and keep you safe, do not go with ADT.

    If I could have given 0 stars I would have. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. If you do use them, DO NOT BUY THE EQUIPMENT OUTRIGHT…RENT IT. They have the worst customer service that I have ever experienced in my life. They constantly have given us the run around, not returned calls, cancelled appointments, and even flat out lied and claimed they came to our house and we didn’t answer. We have a camera to prove this never happened. We have gone over a month without our system being properly set up and with only 1 of 3 cameras installed.

    No matter how unhappy you are with their service, even if they don’t provide it properly, they will not refund you. We want nothing more than to return our items and cancel their service, but since we bought our equipment outright, we are stuck with this awful service. If they can’t even set up the service correctly how are we to trust they will contact the right people in the event of an emergency. Save yourself the money and go with someone else. They already have your money so they don’t really care what happens after that. They apparently don’t have managers either to help resolve issues. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE.

    I am furious with ADT. I have been a loyal customer as a married woman for many years. I recently got a divorce and am in the process of filing a restraining order against my ex. I contacted ADT to remove his name from anything associated with the account as he no longer resides in the home. They told me they could transfer it and it would cost me nothing. They said a tech needed to come out and take a look at the equipment. He came. Was a great guy! He found some additional blind spots and sold me a few more cameras. My bill went from $59.99 a month to $229 per month (due today). But you can't put a price on peace right?

    They switched everything over and then I see an additional charge of $566 charged to my bank account from the original account with no warning or explanation. I have been passed to multiple reps (some with major attitudes and some trying their best to work with a crappy policy) with the resolution being to take the amount they charged me from my ex's account (with no good explanation) and applying it to my new account. So I'm thinking I beefed up security and am only paying $229 today, I ended up paying almost $800 today! Since when do they prey on domestic violence victims?

    I just wanted my property secure, you would think a security company is savvy in how to make these changes. Divorce and DV isn't rare. They treated me like a brand new customer who needed all new equipment. I'm so disappointed in how they handled this. Because the easier solution would be to just hope my psycho ex doesn't break into a house he no longer owns only to be able to receive a call from ADT claiming it's his account, despite having no legal rights to the property. This dumb run around nonsense could get someone killed. BEWARE!

    Ordered flood light camera only. Received that in mail with a home security set that I did not order. My husband put up flood light, which worked great but would only save recording for three hours. So I called customer service. Was told had to plug in the monitor system in order to save recordings. I told them again I did not want that system and I wanted to send back. So technician called this morning, told me that that was not true and the flood light had nothing to do with the monitor. Technician could not understand why my flood light could not connect to my already ADT pulse app that I have had for six years. So nothing has worked. On the phone for two hours today. Nothing.

    So now I have had enough. Want to cancel it all, send equipment back. Done!! Oh no, now I am being treated badly, kept putting me on hold. Agent comes back on and tells me sixteen hundred dollars to cancel. Pay for equipment I did not ask for and pay for a system that won’t operate. Two months is all I have had this headache. So that is my story. ADT screwed me over because they can’t figure out what is wrong. It is so wrong. ADT does care about the safety of people; they care about money.

    We were customers of ADT for approx 15 years and we had a good relationship. We had them at our business as well as our personal home. We sold our company and cancelled the ADT at the business location 7 yrs ago. This last year we called and cancelled our home ADT account and paid the last 30 days and noticed we were still getting billed on our VISA after a couple months. I called ADT and they looked into it and said that we had 2 accounts at our house and that we had only cancelled one of them. I tried to explain to them that we only have 1 house and only 1 residents at that location and that when I called to cancel it was to all be cancelled as I said I did not need their services any longer. They were no help and continued to bill my Visa card. So I called Visa and asked them to look into it and to stop allowing ADT to charge my card.

    Visa got a refund for the 3 months that they had charged my card and then they sent me a direct bill for the charges. After this I called ADT in Nov and stated that I should not owe this and ADT sent it to COLLECTIONS (MIND YOU our credit score is over 800). I tried to explain to the company the situation but is all they are doing is collecting.

    ADT has changed a LOT from when we first signed up and the turn over of employees is very high so you will have a hard time dealing with the same people.

    I would be VERY careful if you sign up with ADT and read all the small print as well as when you cancel (and you will) get it in writing that you cancelled ALL of your accounts and then watch your CREDIT CARD! I WILL NOT EVER DO BUSINESS WITH ADT AGAIN after this.

They try to talk you into correcting the problem, with one of their technicians, over the phone. The problem with that is that it will work for about a week then it goes back to having issues. Two and a half years and I still had issues with my ADT. My basement sensor never worked properly. I recommend going with a different company.

    It is virtually impossible to cancel an account. Spent last week trying to cancel parent's account after explaining one was dead and the other in 24 hour care due to dementia. Took 43 minutes with "Tiffany" to close the account. Each time she said she needed more time to process and then offered a new, lower rate each time, ultimately reaching $7 a month. I refused each time, told her to close the account and got more adamant and then she started asking about what we were going to do with her home and more about her security plans. I resisted screaming at her because I suspected this was all a plan to get me to say something where she could hang up and force me to another operator. Maybe most frustrating customer experience of my life. So consider in whether to use and if using, consider possibly getting vastly lower rates as they gave me -- just by saying you want to cancel.

When we had issues with our equipment at first it was ok no charges. But after a year they wanted to charge us 300 for someone to come out and fix the sensors, even though we had a package that was supposed to cover it. We just dealt with it until now. When I called to cancel the process started off smooth until I got transferred to the "account manager".

    Dietrich was the manager I dealt with and he continued to try and talk over me and tried to get me to sign into another contract. I explained I just want to cancel my account and he then tried AGAIN to sell it to me. As I told him at least 10 times I just want to cancel he kept doing it to pass me off. I asked to speak to a manager and he said he was the manager. This is not how a business should be run by bullying the customer to sign for another contract, or antagonize the customer to the point they start cussing so they can hang up on them and keep them in the service they no longer want to be a part of.

    Run. Do NOT go with ADT. Their products are very poor performing. Customer service is good. But what is the point when the customer bears all the cost when the product goes faulty? I paid roughly $4200 in equipment. Monthly service charge was $40. Well, 10 months into the contract, the smoke detector fails. In just 10 months, a product that is hands free with no abuse. The cost to replace, since ADT only provide 3 months warranty on their products, was $115 (if you do not have warranty). And if you do, then Since it is a life safety device, the technician is the only one who can come to replace, they will not ship you one. So, I now have to pay $30 insurance monthly for 12 months AND $99 for the technician to come and replace it AND if he stays past 1/2 hour, the rate is $115 every hour. Again, run!

    I'm writing this review to alert other customers and potential customers about the "free phone video camera" service provided by ADT to fix equipment malfunction and charges for malfunctioning new equipment. I have a second monitor in my bedroom. That monitor stopped working showing a white screen stating to stand by. I communicated over the phone twice with ADT to try to address this issue unsuccessfully. The second time ADT came through my phone for a video conference to try to guide me to rebooting the system, Which didn't work. Then they recommended to repeat this process Supposedly with a more expert technician, again through a phone video conference.

    10 minutes after I hung up the phone, I received a communication by email stating that someone oversees was trying to access my phone and change my password. Of note the technician talking to me from ADT was calling from overseas, I know because I had asked him. Of course, this email raised significant concerns regarding a breach of security on the ADT call. Therefore, I canceled the scheduled repeat phone video appointment and requested an in-person evaluation of the equipment.

    ADT insists that an in-person evaluation will cost me a minimum of $59. I have tried to request waving of this fee, since I already tried the video conference evaluation and it was unsuccessful. And because I have serious concerns about the safety protection of these communication inside my phone. I have been a customer of ADT for more than 10 years.

    It is outrageous that they cannot serve the new equipment provided for my new home less than 3 months ago. This is supposed to be new equipment, which technically should be under warranty. I have no way of knowing for sure if the potential threat to access my phone what's related to the video conference with ADT, however, the time correlation between these two events strongly suggests a possible breach of security into my system at time of ADT video conference. Therefore, I'm scared of doing this videoconference again. The least ADT can do under these circumstances is to provide a service free of charge, when I already tried the free video conference service and they couldn't fix the problem.

It took two months to get a new agreement and a $600+ refund for equipment we did not want. Every month we get charged for a financing charge on that equipment which we did not purchase. We call and get it reversed. This company is relentless in apologizing for overcharges and then doing it all over again the next month. We highly recommend that consumers not use ADT. They are a nightmare to work with.

    I inquired on the phone about ADT. They had a deal going on for three cameras at $1,200, including installation and no contract. I agreed to that. Until the service technician came to my house. He did a classic bait and switch. He told me that they were having a sale of $1 per window to monitor your windows. I agreed. And he said I needed another camera here, and another camera there. I agreed.

    Now when I signed my signature on his phone, I believed I was signing for the $1,200 three cameras installed, no monthly contract. That is not what the technician did, he locked me into a 5-year contract, and every one of those window monitors were $100 not a dollar like he told me and my husband. I would have never locked into a 5-year contract and I would never have paid $100 per window. Do not ever ever sign anything unless it is on paper. Do not trust ADT for anything. They are very very unscrupulous. I have a big sign on my lawn because there is a new development being built in my neighborhood to make sure these new homeowners don't fall for ADT ever.

    I had ADT come to my house and quote replacing our obsolete wired system with theirs, I agreed to smoke detection and motion. Tech was friendly and professional while he was here. I noticed ceiling bases were not in line with the existing boxes he secured the new ones with, I later took them down and drilled holes in the bases so the would attach directly to the work boxes and now covers the open holes. So 2 weeks after installation low battery alarm sounds on 1 detector, I tried doing a chat with adt and spent lots of time trying to talk with rep, got disconnected after 3 tries so I replaced batteries. Now today I pushed test on other detector and those batterys are dead with out showing a red light or beep, probably been dead from day 1.

    In summary, 1) installation could have been done with a little more pride in their work, 2) chat feature is very long wait just to be disconnected, pretty much useless, 3) wouldn't you think they would supply good brand name batteries? Today's work code by many companies seems to be get in slam together and get out right wrong or otherwise

    This company is the worst!! We have had problems since day one. My husband and I have our own cell phones and we could never be in sync regarding the cameras, setting the alarms, etc. etc. Yesterday, our cameras went out. We called the customer service number and they scheduled an appointment for today. Unfortunately, they did specify that we would have to go out in the sub degree temps and fix it while talking to a customer service tech. We are approaching 80 yrs old and my husband had to go up a ladder and reset it himself. He was outside for more than 30 minutes. Hopefully he will not get frost bite.

    We assumed someone from ADT would come out and fix our system. I just called ADT to schedule an appointment for someone from the company, who knows what they are doing, not an unqualified older adult who should not be outdoors or climbing a ladder to fix their system. I was told that we would have to pay for someone to come out and fix the security system and reset everything. We pay enough $$$ to have an security system that is simple, is easy to operate and works. We have not had this with ADT. Therefore, we will not be renewing our contract with ADT and will not recommend it to others.

    Giving them 1 star because I can't give zero. When I ordered the equipment for my new home, they told me over the phone that they had sent me equipment and after I called a few days later and said I have not gotten the entire equipment and just got the yard signs, they first told me that the equipment has not been shipped out yet because I did not follow up on it and that they can send it out now because I am calling to follow up on it now. When I showed them the email from my initial order showing all the equipment that was suppose to be shipped including the tracking number, they immediately and very rudely backtracked and said , you picked it up 5 days after it was delivered hence some of the stuff might be missing.

    They have no idea what is going on, they do not follow up on their own previous transcripts that they have had with customers causing confusion and you to repeat yourself. If this is their status in the absence of an emergency than what can one expect during an active crisis. Multiple companies offer what they do and for a cheaper price. Go with any of them.

    ADT does not honor their promotional deals. ADT salespeople and employees will lie about customer's ability to cancel their contract under the 6-month money back guarantee advertisement. After ADT gets your business, and you try to cancel your contract. ADT will delay, deny, and use every trick in the book to keep you locked into a fraudulent and falsely advertised contract. Their entire staff and salespeople are nothing more than a bunch of liars and thieves. After speaking with Brittany in their corporate office, I got no results only more excuses, lies, and refusal to cancel my contract even though my system was defective and several technicians came out and could not repair it. Stay away from this company by any means necessary or you will regret it.

    I’ve been a ADT customer for 20 years. December 2025 my control panel went blank. ADT Tech support arrange for service 3 times. The ADT tech arrived about 2pm and explained they needed to reschedule bc they needed 3 hours to install and configure a new control panel. That same excuse was given 3 times. I’ve been without a working security system for 2 months. They still claim they will credit me for the down 2 months but this credit was never applied. I cancelled my subscription and they will bill us for 1 additional month before we get cancelled. So we’re out 3 months of charges for not having a working security system for the past 3 months!

    I loved it until I changed my WiFi network (that’s not regular wear and tear and is a 200+ dollar house call) if they can’t do a remote reset. Cameras are incredibly challenging to read set up codes, and God help ya if it’s mounted on your home’s exterior. We were able to get 1 camera back online. The other two, we tried several times to reset, reconnect, and kept getting the error code, “something went wrong”. Even the technician was mystified. So now, we’re back at the 200+ dollar home visit. It will just stay broken, or offline until it’s paid off, and we’ll let that speak for itself.

    We will start with a residential service contract guard response. Service total equipment price, including installation was $350.96 then it was a down payment which they took out $350.96 which I didn’t get back for three weeks later and they lied, which was the installer and told me don’t worry they only hold it. They don’t take it out. It was a lie. I just got it back today after three weeks. That was just for the equipment and the installation which I thought it was a good price then the 24 seven intrusion monitoring it was 24.99.

    The ADT representative, which will call just Kelly called her supervisor to get me a discount and she did and it approved it and here we are with 24.99 for monitoring a month and $350.96 for total equipment price including installation when the installer showed up and I was very clear when I talked to the agent on the phone 'cause I understand about alarms and I asked for 5 doors, 2 windows and 1 motion sensor and that’s what she quoted me. The price on when the installer showed up he started coming out with figures of let me see 52.79 for total monitoring a month. And another $700.00 on top of the 350.00 for equipment and installation.

    Beware when you order an alarm security system from them they give you a price a quote and then they want a bargain with you because their price is now went up 50% if not more. I went from $350 to 1000 by the time the installer came and my monthly charges for monitoring from 2499 to 52.79. The installer even called Rudy his supervisor and his supervisor was still pushing the money as much as he could. He didn’t honor what a supervisor honored so I have a residential service contract doesn’t mean anything and the order detail which doesn’t mean anything. I could post all of this stuff but why and I have the card the business card from the installer, the tech engineer specialist and his supervisor. His supervisor didn’t wanna talk to me. I asked to talk to him and he didn’t want to so the bottom line is watch out for the scam.

    My family had been loyal ADT customers for over 30 years. In July 2025 we turned off our landline. I called ADT to notify them and make sure it was ok and confirm we didn't need to do anything differently. We updated the contact info to our cell numbers. In November we had an error pop up on the control panel. When I called ADT to see what it meant they said the alarm is functioning however no one from ADT had monitored it since July when the land line was terminated. Imagine my surprise when the company I paid to help protect my family left us without any notification. ADT continued to collect the monthly payment, yet no services were provided. We requested a refund for those months and we were denied. ADT does not issue refunds.

    I have been dealing with ADT over an $800 refund since December, and the experience has been extremely frustrating and dishonest. A manager specifically told me I would receive my refund by January 20, 2026. That date has now passed, and I’ve been informed that this was not true and that I won’t receive the refund until March. To make matters worse, the same manager who made this promise is now refusing to take my calls and gave me an incorrect phone number to reach him directly.

    This is not a small amount of money, and being given false information and then ignored is completely unacceptable. I trusted ADT to handle this professionally, and instead I’ve been met with delays, broken promises, and zero accountability. If you’re considering ADT, be very cautious—especially when it comes to billing and refunds.

    ADT is the most horrible company I have ever experienced - stay away from ADT - their practices are fraught with fraud and the third party vendors they use are equally, if not more corrupt. I have been on the phone for nearly two hours trying to cancel a contact that is to end in one month - to my dismay someone at ADT has extended the contact for another 36 months - in order to get out of one contact they want to initiate another, shorter contract. To repeat, do not use this company - especially their third party marketers.

    I've been a customer with ADT since 12/2013. Canceled my services on 12/2/2025. Was charged for another 30 days, plus a $1.89 the next month. Called Customer Service, who told me they may not have informed me, but there is a 30-day additional charge upon cancellation. Never answered about the $1.89. I kept my contract from 2013, which mentions NOTHING about a 30-day cancellation fee. ADT refused to refund the money & told me I could pursue the charges through my bank. I informed Customer Service of the breach of a legal contract & that I would report this to the Better Business Bureau, but I've since been recommended to report this to the Federal Trade Commission, which I will do.
