Efficient installation. Have difficulty using the Pulse App. Otherwise, have experienced no difficulties with system. Can sleep well at night because not listening for "noises" or strange sounds. While I live in a relatively safe area, there are woods and many dark places for strange folk to hide. Have already recommended ADT to friends.

Prompt call to alarm. Really appreciate it. Very professional operation. We have used ADT for over 10 years and have been very pleased with their prompt response. We will continue to use them as long as their pricing continues to be competitive.

Your agent was very thorough in describing the reason for dispatch of police to my condo. I explained that I had canceled the alarm like I usually do but she explained that since I had activated a panic alarm that I also needed to call ADT immediately together with a phone call to you. I was not aware of this and also did not know how I had accidentally activated the panic alarm because there is not a button for it on my key fob. She also told me what button to press down on to activate the panic alarm! Now I am a little more knowledgeable thanks to your agent.

My experience with ADT has always been exceptional. The technicians are always pleasant and work quickly and effectively. I have already recommended ADT to several of my friends. I also very much like the way ADT responds to customers when an alarm goes off. While I applaud your service, I think you are expensive and you should have lower rates for senior citizens.

With technology changing rapidly, I would think that ADT would be informing clients of what new technology is available from ADT that clients might want to consider. For example, we are interested in exterior home camera systems, both wireless and wire that we might want to take advantage of to further secure our home. Other than new technology, we are very happy with ADT and except for a brief departure from ADT, have been very satisfied with ADT for over 15+ years. We feel we can trust ADT with our home security.

Occasionally while cooking, or having a fire the smoke detector was accidentally set off, it seems before I even have a chance to grab a towel and wave the smoke detector ADT is calling to check that everything is OK. The last call was less than 10 seconds response time, the dispatchers are always very concerned and courteous. We are very pleased with our ADT service.

ADT Services. Most tech support people are polite and helpful. However, sometimes you get an impatient tech and it does makes me feel like I am bothering he/her and worst of all the problem does not get fix at all. Nonetheless, the technician that came to my house on October 2, 2017 was very professional and knowledgeable. A great person. The Loyalty Department is awesome. I spoke to Jay on Oct. 2nd, 2017 about an issue and he resolved it right away with care and respect. Thank you.

About once a month, I get a trouble light on my panel. It is caused whenever we have a thunderstorm and the phone gets cut off for a second. I call ADT and they do a test, which of course, sounds the siren and makes the neighbors think I'm being invaded. But ADT is always very nice about it and they solve the problem and the trouble light goes off. I wish the system were not that sensitive, however.

While we do not contact ADT frequently, ADT has contacted us on several occasions. They contacted the one to call a couple of times when the motion detector was set off.

ADT is always professional and very helpful in aiding me with any technical difficulties I experience with your cameras or equipment that I have. I appreciate the courteous and friendly service that your company gives me and in a timely matter. Your information that you give us is clear when updating and troubleshooting over the phone. You provide professional technicians to come out to my home and I appreciate the experience that they have to share with me to correct any problems that we are experiencing.

We have been members of ADT since 1992 and would not change. The system failed once in 25 years and was upgraded for a minimal fee. Their monitoring and reporting of intrusions is as specified. Great service. They have grandfathered my rate, so we are currently under their quoted fees. My only recommendation would be to allow new features without canceling my grandfathered rate or only with a small increase.

I have had a couple of problems with my system such as having to reset after power outages for long periods of time. ADT representatives have helped me tremendously to get my system back up & running. They have always been very helpful, friendly & patient with me. I would recommend ADT to anyone looking for a security system. Just recently my husband accidentally set the alarm off & for some reason I did not get the call from ADT & I did not get to my remote quick enough to turn it off so they went ahead & called the local sheriff's office & they were there within a very short time to check everything out.

We really rely on using the Pulse app on our phones when we are away. This is a great way of knowing things are secure. I would recommend ADT to anyone who wants the security for their home. The monthly charge is minimal for the security we receive.

My local rep is Ali from Millennium Alarm Systems and is ALWAYS available. Our installation tech is Zeke - seriously who knows their installer on a first name basis? I recently moved and the process was smooth as butter! I had to call into the 800 number and the woman there was impeccable with her service and information and made sure I was 100% clear on everything. I would and do recommend ADT and Millennium to whomever I speak to - I have other alarm companies trying to tempt me with referral fees (I am a real estate agent) monthly. I tell all of them that I am all set and there's no way you could get me to switch providers or recommend to my clients anyone else.

We were coming up to the end of our three year contract on our townhome when we sold and bought a much larger family home. When we called to transfer our existing service, with a few added window sensors at the recommendation of the ADT phone sales rep, ADT sent out an interesting character to install our new system, who smelled a bit strange, but was very friendly.
At the end of the long 4- to 5-hour installation process, the installation guy handed me a contract for a 3 year renewal, saying please sign this, your wife has already signed one. I called my wife to ask if this was true, and sure enough it turned out that the "transfer" paperwork she was told she was signing was a 3 year renewal contract, which was not discussed on the phone with her. The installation agent explained to me that I had 72 hours to decide that their services were not for me, so I went along with my wife and signed the contract.
I realize the onus here on my wife is to read a contract thoroughly, but I still can't help but feel like we were getting worked over by ADT in a sneaky, deceitful, slightly obtrusive manner. Our plan was to let the contract play out (to exit a contract requires you pay 80% of the remainder as penalty) and handle our security privately, not that that even matters. There was a complete lack of honesty in the situation, and when my wife called to confront the phone agent, she was pitched another contract.
We cancelled during our 72 hour trial period of the new system. That was two weeks ago. The ADT equipment remains at the house, with no refund of the initial installation and contract fee (minus, of course, their cancellation fee from the previous contract which would have been "forgiven" with the new contract). The whole process has been a nightmare, and I can't wait till it's over.

I feel that ADT provided me with an easy way to secure my home. They were able to update and reestablish service on a preexisting system very quickly.

Unless you live in the stone age you have to have their second tier package, and if you live remotely you can't use the perks of the top tier package. The packages for service felt forced as I didn't have much of an option as to what I chose. This can be discouraging as you do have to sign a 3 year contract with them.

I am upgrading to Pulse. I have been told that I need a three year contract. That seems excessive. The upgrade should not affect what is already in place. What if I move out of my current house and go to another home where I don't need monitoring? The penalty seems unfair. I also scheduled my appt. which is a whole half day commitment. I was called to say it had to be rescheduled when I had waited all afternoon.
Hello Donald- We apologize for any trouble this has caused! Pulse is a separate security package altogether that requires additional equipment. You were informed correctly that this upgrade would require a new agreement. We are troubled to hear of your experience scheduling. Please let us know if we are still able to be of assistance!

I have called numerous times to complain about our ADT Pulse app crashing since the new update on Sept. 18th. I was told ADT is aware that iPhone 6s and above are having a problem with the app, but they have no ETA for a fix. I would think a company as large as ADT would make this an urgent issue and fix it asap, since the app is non-functional right now, and therefore not even a reason to have the Pulse system. We were in Australia when the update came out and were not able to access our home camera or system from there. NOT GOOD! The customer service reps I spoke with were excellent; they are not the problem. The IT department perhaps needs an overhaul, if so many people have the Pulse system but are unable to use it at all. I have been with ADT since the 90s, but will drop them if this is not fixed soonest. The app crashes immediately upon signing in (if you get that far), thus making it useless.

Our daughter recently changed her phone, TV, and Internet from AT&T to Comcast and found out that her security system was not getting signals. ADT technicians came out and spent several hours and installed a signal box to get her system working properly. In both of these situations, the ADT technicians were knowledgeable and professional as all of our interactions with ADT have been. In both of these situations, the underlying problems were complicated and took time. We would definitely recommend ADT.

Additionally, even the signs in front of my house are a deterrent because the bad-guys know ADT works. There have been three break-ins in my neighborhood in the past couple of years, but none at my house.

I had explained to ADT sales that I had an existing alarm system and the sales office said they would use that and just add their keypad in the same location (NO electrical outlet was required for that alarm keypad). The installer, Cheryl was frustrated when I didn't want to use her choice of keypad installation (on my living room wall).

Originally, ADT called me when the alarm went off, and I advised them NOT to contact the police. The person I spoke to confirmed this and hung up. A month later, I received a false alarm fine from the city where I live because ADT had called the police despite telling me they wouldn't. When I called their customer service to query it, another customer service agent advised me to pay the city and I would be reimbursed by ADT. I asked her multiple times if we would be denied reimbursement and she said no.
I mailed the copy of the payment and after 3 months (yes, 3 months!!) I was told by ADT that they wouldn't reimburse me the $85 as I didn't have the proper authorization word when originally called. Prior to the alarm going off, I had called ADT on 3 separate occasions to request that the code word be mailed to me. On those 3 separate occasions, their customer service representatives advised me that we would receive something in the mail. We never received anything. So how are we meant to confirm a word that ADT won't notify us of, even when I've requested it 3 times?
On the denial letter, they state that if you want to address the denial, you have to email, so I emailed them. Then a week later, I got an automated response saying to call their customer services. When I call their customer services, they say I have to email. So nobody will discuss this issue with me. It's an absolute disgrace, and some kind of scam they're running. Avoid ADT if you can. I can't wait for my contract to end, so I can get as far away from them as possible.

Hello Siddhartha- Thank you for reaching out and welcome to the ADT family! We are sorry for any trouble caused and have located your account.
I understand that you have some concerns regarding ADT’s procedures in why you are not called or you received a recorded message if the alarm is tripped and you enter your code to disarm your system. If you accidentally set off your alarm and enter your code to disarm the system, you may or may not be notified.
To further explain this, on a burglar alarm the signal will transmit 30 seconds after the siren activates. On fire/carbon monoxide/medical/or any type of life safety device the signal transmits upon activation of the siren. Once the alarm signal is received in the monitoring center, the agent will start notification procedures of the signal.
However, if an authorized restoral code is received, the agent may disregard the alarm and an Interactive Voice Response call is placed to the premise number. This procedure is to help reduce false alarms being reported to authorities.
You may review your monitoring history anytime using www.MyADT.com. If you ever have concern that your system is not communicating, you test the system communication. For instruction on how to do so, please visit the following link to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2xjJmoD

I bought the business with pre-installed ADT security system. I was not informed they were monitoring my biz whenever a delivery would come in, with inventory at least $1,000. Next day it would disappear. ADT can remotely turn on and turn off system. In the area of my biz was village ordinance requiring keys be given to fire department. My neighbors gave their biz keys to them. Their own ADT employees (cops and fire department personnel and their affiliates) enter premises under the color of the law then steal, not notifying biz owner (me) there was someone in my business.
Went to court and because of exculpatory clause in Terms & Service, cannot win claim against ADT. BE CAREFUL THIS COMPANY!!! When they realized I was suspicious, they planted evidence (cops) that caused my source of income to be gone!!! They planned their strategy well. Filed a complaint with government agencies, nobody investigates criminal activities of the cops!!!

When I asked for her name she refused to state what was her last name and said, "We don't give out last names in this company" so I left it at that and tried the number she gave me. To my surprise I got the same dept. so I tried again to have them honor their money back guarantee. This time I mentioned I don't want any money back just wanted to simply cancel. Again I was told I had to speak with cancellation dept. At this point I decided they were not going to honor their guarantee and gave up.

I've been using ADT for a long time and it was all great to begin with. Since then, I've added different things to the system and it's always going very well. I'm very happy with the system. I would recommend it.

When we moved into the house there was already an alarm system but, it was not the ADT. My sister who lives in Everett Massachusetts has an ADT system and she really liked it so when we switched the carriers, we went with ADT. We got the basic system unlike my sister's which talks and tells them when the front door is open. ADT took over what we had and listened to what my wife and I had to say about what we like and didn't like about the system that we had. They were good about modifying based on our needs.
Whenever the alarms went off, they have been very responsive. They called the police department and got them out here to check the place so I'm very lucky that we've never had a break in. However, we're on a fixed income and we’re retired. Whenever they raised the rate, it's a big thing for us even if it's only a couple of bucks. But the customer service department has been willing to work with us regarding that and I'm pleased. I'd recommend them without hesitation.

Somebody got robbed across the street so a few of our neighbors and I decided that we needed to do something because we were going to go on a long trip. I was very happy with the presentation of the gentleman from ADT as well as what he had to offer and the efficiency of how they put the system in. We got the basic alarm function and we have a wireless system. The installers put all the sensors in then we had a problem with the far reaches of our house so they came back and rewired the system with a wire for those sensors so I would have better connection with them. After that, we put in additional motion detectors and deleted a couple of window sensors. The technicians came as promised, did the job and were gone.
I've had a few service calls and ADT has taken care of the problem. We had one burglary and they responded very promptly. We were out of town but they contacted me and my neighbors were very good to let the police in. I've also had a couple of blotch in the system and ADT has been very good about calling me about that. I've been very happy with their service and I would recommend them.

We got doors and windows, and motion, fire and smoke detectors from ADT. The installation was lengthy because our phone system wasn't compatible and the installers had to put something in the attic to make it work, but they got it done. Then somebody came who tried to switch us to another company. I called ADT and they assured me they had no one in our area. I would recommend it ADT.

Our experience with ADT has been very good so far. Everything's working well. Their sales rep was very nice and the installation process was fine. I have recommended ADT to friends.

We upgraded our old system to the Safe Watch Pro 3000 to take advantage of an improved system as described by the ADT salesperson. After installation, our two major complaints is that the salesperson said that the upgrades would take only a couple of hours - it actually took approximately 8 hours to complete. Also, we were led to believe that the upgraded system touch pad would enable us to control the volume of the sounds that the pad makes for alerts and to control the brightness of the pad's display - neither can be done with the Safe Watch Pro 3000. We have to use a flashlight to view the display data.
I called customer service to see if there was an alternative to the current touch pad and was told that there was another touch pad available that would cost us an additional $250.00 to install. I then asked to be transferred to customer loyalty and the person who I spoke with informed me that even though we had been an ADT customer for approximately 10 years, we were now basically considered to be a new customer with the new system so we had no customer loyalty points built up. So, we are stuck with a 3 year contract with ADT, but at the end of the contract I seriously doubt that we will renew with ADT. On a positive note, the system does work fine.
Hello David/Bonnie- Thank you for reaching out! We are sorry to learn of your recent experience upgrading. We additionally apologize if you have received any incorrect information from our sales representative. While the volume on the keypad may be adjusted, it only adjusts the system voice and not the siren or beeps. If we may be of greater assistance, please private message us with your account information. We'd be happy to review. ~Tréchell

I decided I needed a security system and got ADT. I used to live with my momma's sister but I'm living alone now and I felt more secure now that somebody else has the eyes while I'm at home. I have the video cam for the front door and inside the family room, plus the ability to turn on the security alarm via my iPhone. My niece dealt with the sales rep and installer and they were thorough. Everything meets the requirement so I'm satisfied. Anytime we call they come. Sometimes we have problems with the internet so it's hard to determine if it's ADT, the internet company or the cable company but luckily they came all in the same day which worked out really well. I had immediate service.

ADT bought the company I was with. So, with the acquisition of a new company, I've had ADT since and it's all been good with them. I've had them do mostly maintenance and during the switched over, they came and made a change and they’re very good. I would definitely recommend ADT.

The installation involved the removal of previous alarm equipment and verification that all the ADT equipment was working correctly. The installation was handled well by Aaron, the installer, and made me feel comfortable with the new ADT system. Several features from my previous system were missing from the ADT setup, but Aaron was able to provide the chime service and voice identification capability during the installation. He made a real effort to make sure I was satisfied and trained on my new system.
