Have been pleased with the service and level of security with ADT since 2007. While my wife and I are very fortunate to live in a safe community it's made us feel very secure the few times our alarm has been set off and the quick response time from ADT. Compared to security systems of some friends and family we know we made the right choice to go with ADT!

We've had an ADT system in our home for a couple of years. Like any new custom installation with unique requirements, there were a few small things that had to be worked out, but the tech support has been timely and effective every time and things have been working flawlessly for many months now. It's great to know that when we arm the system at bedtime or leaving the house that ADT will be keeping an eye on things for us. The service is efficient and thorough for the price. We're glad to have ADT on our side.

A person opened the door when the alarm was set, sending the alarm off. The alarm was cleared in a timely manner, therefore, no policeman was called. ADT responded in a very timely manner explaining why the incident did not require a call to the police department. With this kind of action from ADT, it makes me feel real safe knowing that ADT is actually watching my home.

We called for a repair due to the alarm for door entry going off in the middle of the night after being set. A repair person was to come on Saturday. He/she never showed. We called. A man said it was to be a phone repair and to just shut the door alarm off. We did. The alarm still went off at the other box. We called. Now the triangle was showing on both boxes. They would send someone on Tuesday. We said that would not work scheduling wise. They said OK Wednesday. We got a confirmation for Tuesday ca. We called back, not Tuesday, Wednesday. No problem. Tuesday the man arrives. Our plans are upset. He says he fixed the problem. Triangle still lit on both boxes.

The first year was not good but since then service and functionality of the system has improved. It took too many service calls and complaints to get them to replace the defective door lock.

You should keep more technicians like the gentleman that installed all those goodies. I was so afraid that I couldn't operate the system that I almost backed out and told you to tell the tech not to come. My experiences with this new phone is enough to keep me from adding any technology to my house. So I "bit the bullet" and welcomed him. He sat down, listened to my fears, and changed the subject and helped me to relax by asking me what I used to do. I taught school for forty years. After laughing about my experiences I began to relax. That was it. He told me I had nothing to worry about. He was right. When he was finished, he showed me everything, explained it in teacher language (so I could understand the terms) and the "how to do it". When he left I almost hated to let him go.

My parents have ADT so I chose them. I have the security system but I didn't have the camera and that was the last time that I upgraded the service. The ADT Pulse app went through my smartphone. The technician who came for the installation of the upgrade was helpful. First, he asked how many sensors that I have and I couldn't count. He walked around and he did a count of that.
When he first placed the camera on the mantle, we said, "We don't want it in the living room. In case somebody breaks in, we want to be able to view the people outside, anybody that shows at the front door." We set it up where it is facing outside the window. It's pointed downward so we could see who's coming to the front. That was my main concern. I wanna catch 'em before they come in, and look at my phone and decide whether I wanna open the door or not.
During the installation of the upgrade, I had to leave for an appointment schedule but my friend stayed behind. The technician spent some time trying to explain to my friend how to set and how to use the actual security system as far as the cameras. And my friend told me briefly how he was trained to use it. It's a nice system and I feel secure with it. It is better than what I previously had and I'm very satisfied with it. Also, I can hear people come in and out. Overall, ADT is highly recommendable.

I called ADT and they set up somebody to come out, survey the territory and give me a bid. All the people I've dealt with have been excellent. The salesperson was very thorough, courteous and nice. He asked all the right questions and was very extensive. He tried to find ways around it and gave me different options to make the thing work. It was not a hustle type thing. I had an existing built-in system. So, expensive wiring wouldn't be necessary.
The only glitch while they were there was not their fault, it was corporate policy that bothers me. To sign up, they wanted a credit check, which I have no problems with at all. Suffice it to say my credit is about as high as it can get. The first thing they wanted was my Social Security Number, which I will not give to anybody. We went back and forth on that. I'm not happy with that policy because I had to pay a full year ahead rather than on a monthly basis in order to avoid giving them my Social Security Number. I gave them an 11-month loan, in essence, of 12 months’ worth of service payments. You don't need a Social Security Number to do a credit check. So, that ticked me off then and now. It wound up costing me but we went ahead.
One other thing which is major is hindsight on the part of the salesman. The initial quote was $650. After he left, the person who came to install recommended and explained, "You're going to need this, this and this." I wound up paying at least 50% more. It was $1,050 instead of $650. I recognize that because some of the wires were broken and they didn't know that 'til they got into the system. But the salesman should have recognized at least half those things and written it in the initial specs.
The installer was very good, competent, cooperative and efficient. It wasn’t easy. The cellular signals here aren't great and I have a cable phone so they had to do cell communication to ADT. We had a lot of moving around to do to get things to work right. My complaints with the installer were two things. One, it took a long time to install, which is fine. But because it took a little longer than he thought, we didn't have a lot of time at the end of the day to show me how to work the system. He did, he sat down. But to me, this just wasn't enough of education time on how to work the things. So, I had to call a couple of times.
He also left wire clippings and other trash right there on the floor, under those three control boxes. It was the same thing in the basement, at the main control box that they swapped. It seemed to me that a company as careful as ADT would have the site cleaned up by the installer. And it could have been because he just ran out of time. But that's bad practice.
After a week, my whole system went offline. And it was offline for a week because I had faint cell signal. It completely lost the signal. It turned out the installer should have put it in the rafters in the basement. It was an ADT box and the signal is even worse. They also had a Verizon box shipped to my house. The guy came to put the Verizon box in and he was outstanding. He tested moving up into a closet to get it on the main floor instead of the basement. And there was marginal but enough signal with the old AT&T cellular box. So he left that one and didn't install the Verizon and that saved them some money but said, "I'll keep it in the truck. If there's any problems, let me know. We'll come back and put the Verizon in."
And subsequent to that, the system is still connected but the lights in that box are showing a little worse than when he left. I wish they put that Verizon box in. To this day, I still haven’t got complete signal. They called me to say it showed that it wasn't connected the first time. Signal had gone away.
I've called on a couple of occasions their help desk. The people in the general number that you call for any assistance were outstanding people and they're available. I had a cable issue last Sunday. Somebody was there on the other side, they took the call and they did everything they can to get the problem solved. And that's been impressive. They’re knowledgeable and knew the answers. The cable call I made last night, I came up with the solution, as it turned out. I had a couple of thoughts, called them back and said, "Couldn't it be this because of this?" And they said, "Well, we could try that." We did and it worked. I'm no genius on cable but I solved the problem. I cancelled the service call. It would have been for nothing. I don't take for granted that the person on the other end of the phone and the ADT people, so far, were that good.

I was interested in upgrading my alarm system. With all the cool new tech out why not. I have been an ADT alarm system customer for a while. At my prior house and now at my current house. My contract was expired so I went online to see what was offered. It looks like they have a system that doesn't need a phone line (finally I can cancel my phone line) and a system that works with your garage door opener from your smartphone (cool). So I call them up and they say they are going to send a sales person (great). I remember 10 years back at my 1st house when the first representative came by. He showed me brochures, did a walk of the house, talked about the system and talked about the protection. After he left I looked forward to the install date and felt good about my decision.
A month back a guy showed up in jogging pants and smelled as though he hadn't showered in a month. He had an iPad with him and I thought that was kind of cool (I thought he would show me some options on it). I asked him if he wanted to look around to see the current system, he said he didn't and just stood in the kitchen. I offered him a seat at the table (thinking he might want to sit down and show me some options) he declined and stood there and asked me what I wanted. I said I want to upgrade my system and have wifi access and have garage door access with my phone. We talked for a bit, discussed pricing. He finally pulled his iPad out, got me to sign and was on his way. I was thinking in my head "what's the rush" but felt like ADT is a big company and the install will probably go okay.
He texted me later and let me know when the install date was. Then later cancelled the install date. I tried to contact him a few times to reschedule but could not get through. Finally he got back to me via text and said he was on vacation but had an install date scheduled. Ok. Finally. House is under renovation and a contractor is on site, I think this is okay for the installation but get a call the day off and I am told an "owner needs to be on site". Okay. My wife heads back to the house. The installation guy is in a huff with her because he is not happy with waiting. My wife apologizes and says she is sorry that we were not aware an owner had to be on site and thought the contractor would suffice.
Installer installs the system quickly, gives my wife some papers and leaves. Renovation gets complete, we finally have time to look at alarm system. There is no garage door component to it, it is not wireless, we don't even know the code to the system? Apparently there is an app we can use but we don't know how to get onto that. Basically we have the same system we had before, but we have the pleasure of paying $30 more per month and a $500 installation bill arrives. I text the sales guy and ask him for his supervisor's name and phone number. He refuses and tells me I never told him I wanted wireless access and garage door access. He then tells me someone will call me. I believe he could of used that iPad of his to take some notes, rather than just come in, quick sell me and get my signature.
Look I get it. I have been in sales my entire life. But I was a willing customer who was okay with spending money. All that had to take place was a little care on the initial sales guys part. Now I am stuck with a system that does the same as my old system. I get to pay 55 a month (opposed to the 25 I was paying before) and I get a $500 fee. I am interested if ADT will try to resolve this issue.

We upgraded the system and had people from ADT come a couple of times. We've had only good experiences with them. The house we're in right now was a seasonal home. We weren't living here in the winter and it was really cold. The thermostat battery wasn't working, apparently, and the pipes froze. So we had them put in a new system that would let us know if it was getting too cold.

My experience with ADT has been the worst I've ever had with a business. When our system was installed over a year ago, the installer said it might not work too well because our wifi isn't very strong. He didn't try to sell us another camera because he said it wouldn't work, due to wifi. But he installed our system anyway with just one camera. About 3 months later, we had them come back because our system wasn't working properly. A friend parked in our driveway claimed a rifle was stolen from his truck, parked directly in front of the camera. But we couldn't find a pic of it because our system wasn't working. This caused a huge problem!
The installer came back and installed a wifi booster, hoping that would help. But no! He came back again in January 2017 and said the system would not work because of our weak wifi and said he'd write it in his report and said we could use it to get out of the contract. We called ADT, and after days or being transferred all around the world, a supervisor said we could get out of our contract in January 2017. So they came back and got all of the equipment in March. I noticed we were still getting debited in March, so I changed my debit card. On May 6, 2017, I got a call from ADT asking me if I wanted to catch up on my last due bill, over $100. I said no! I think ADT owes us a rebate, We paid over a year for something that never worked! I want this fixed NOW!

I've had ADT for nine years or longer and the service has been great. Installation went good, but the installation guy came a little late and was also a little late leaving. But that was fine with me and he was a great guy. I feel so much safer with ADT and I wouldn't do without it. I would highly recommend it to anybody. My son has also put one in his house last year.

ADT has been very good and reliable, and I'm very happy with them. We've been with them for about 16 years, and their service has been very good and it meets our needs. The response of the ADT team has been great when we've had false alarms, as in instances of pushing the wrong button or opening the wrong door. The customer service reps have all been very courteous, competent, and easy to deal with. The technicians were courteous as well and knew what they were doing. They were very capable and got the job done. ADT does what they're supposed to do and we reap the benefits.

ADT is awesome. We've had them for over 30 years. We first heard about them when we lived in Florida, even before they were ADT. Two people that rented our apartment or condo asked if they could put in a security system. We asked them to leave it there after and we had it put in our next place and the next. We've just had ADT every time since. When we talk to their sales reps, they've been very helpful. We were the ones who contacted them first every time we move. They would ask what we were interested in and we'd say exactly what we wanted.
The features were pretty much the same but the monitoring, fire, emergency, phone calls when something happened, and maintenance. So we have the whole package. Their installation team was perfect. They did their thing, trained me and cleaned up after themselves. They even left phone numbers. So I never have to worry about them. My husband and I were 100% satisfied with their service. ADT has served us well. All in all, our experience has been fantastic. They are the best ever. We didn't even look anywhere else each time we moved like in Florida, New Hampshire, New York, and Idaho. We've recommended ADT highly to many.

ADT has been my only home security service provider. Overall, the security system is good in functionality and performance, and I've felt okay and had a good sense of security since I used it. The security equipment has a fine quality, and the system's features suit my needs at the moment. I once needed to reset my panel information and replace the back-up battery, and their customer service representatives were very helpful. I also had to have a technician come out to service my system once a few years ago, and that interaction went fine as well. I would recommend ADT as the first choice in home security.

The guys that came to our house to talk/install were great. They played by the book, but also listened to what I had to say. They told me that the first thing they do is install the keypad on a wall. I asked that we discuss things before they start installing. They had to call it in as a deviation from protocol, but did so at my request. The people on the phone were pretty pushy and did their best (successfully in this case) to keep me on the phone until a time was set up and my credit was checked. Not too wild about that, but I get it since there's a fear of losing the customer.

SUPER unhappy. This company does NOT follow up with their clients or know what they are doing. Their installer punched holes in the walls of my new house, then never got the alarm installed properly. So I have holes in my walls in my new house. I had to chase them down after a week of phone tag to come and install it properly. I still have holes in my walls. No one is following up on getting this repaired, even after I complained about it to corporate and the local office. So I'm just going to have to fix it myself at this point. DEFINITELY, go with another company. To add insult to injury, the alarm went off the other night and no one in the house heard it. Amazing! It wasn't until they called our phone that we woke up.
Now I'm supposed to pay another $100 for an upstairs alarm as well? Why didn't the installer mention this might be an issue? ADT doesn't give a ** about you or your house. If they did, they would have knowledgeable staff that can recommend and advise you on the best way to outfit a home. They messed up my walls, they installed an alarm no one can hear, they never followed up on the damage they did and they need more money so I can actually hear the alarm when it goes off. The second worst company I've ever dealt with after Empire carpets.

I paid ADT every month for almost 20 years before being wiped out in a burglary. When I called to find out why they hadn't sent the police they didn't even know we had been broken into. Then they acted like it was my fault for not having a cellular backup! Why had they not reached out to tell me one was available and recommended!! I'm shocked at the number of positive reviews. Most sites have them at 1-2 stars. I would give them negative stars if I could. By all means use ADT if you only want the ILLUSION of security instead of ACTUAL security.

I am very disappointed with my ADT experience. I purchased services a little under a year ago for a property that I was renting. I purchased $1000 in product and have always paid my bill on time. A couple of weeks ago I found out that our landlord was going to be selling the property once our lease was up at the end of the month. My husband and I had to make temporary living arrangements until we are able to purchase a home towards the end of the year.
I explained this to ADT/Defenders to see if something could be done to put our account on hold since we want to continue service once we have a new home because we will be unable to use it where we will be living in the meantime. They very bluntly said no and that we would either have to keep paying the fee of $60/month for services we can't even use or pay the early cancellation fee of 75% which came to over $1000! There is no way we can pay that. And I'm not sure why they are even saying 75% considering 2/3 of the remaining contract would be 66%.
I asked the person I was speaking to, Ciara, if I could speak with a manager and she said no, that they would just tell me the same thing. I told her, "Well, then let them tell me." Again she said no - no further explanation, just "no". Finally I said that I WANT TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER. To which she said, "I can have one call you within 3 business days." How I'm supposed to know that they'll actually call, I have no idea. But I am incredibly pissed that a company would provide such poor customer service with no flexibility whatsoever. They just want your money, plain and simple. Sure, the service is fine as long as you're giving them money, but the moment you need to walk away they turn on you. I'm also pretty sure that I read on another forum that when we do find a place and move, the 3-year contract STARTS OVER!! I would not recommend them at all. Total scam.

I've been with ADT for close to 30 years and it’s been effective and efficient. I kept them for that long because if the mouse trap works, you keep using it. But there was a time when I was thinking about changing because they were switching over to a WiFi-based system and I still had the old wired system. They had never sent me any information saying that I could upgrade. Then when I called them up and started telling them that I was thinking about moving, all of a sudden I was able to get the new upgrade. They had never told me I was eligible for it.
But everything worked out fine. I got it and everything’s okay. The guy who came out to put in the WiFi to be a wireless system knew what he was doing. He put in the equipment and tested it all the way it was supposed to be tested. But I would like it best if they offered a camera with it instead of making it an option where people had to buy it. Having some type of camera that can see out front would be great. But so far everything’s okay and the security is great.

I have been with ADT for two years now and have been a great paying customer. I recently moved from a rent house into a new construction home. The new home came equipped with the Honeywell tuxedo touch keypad, camera on the front door, z wave thermostat, z wave light switches, and an integrated automatic dead bolt in the front door. I called ADT and told them to relocate my service from the rent house to my new house. They set up a date for a tech to come out. I took off work to meet with a tech and he begins to tell me that the smart home technology is not compatible with ADT's out of date service. He proceeds to tell me that the only way ADT can service my house is if he pulls out all of my smart home equipment and installs ADT's proprietary equipment. I told him that if ADT cannot take over my smart home equipment that I payed a lot of money for then ADT and I cannot do business.
I call loyalty and they tell me that there has been a mistake and that they want to send out a sales representative in order to review my smart home equipment one more time. I agree to take off work to meet with a sales representative. When she shows up she tells me that the tech was right and they can not take over my smart home devices. The solution is to either remove my smart home devices or bypass them completely which in return would make me waste all of my money that I spent on my smart home technology which isn't going to work. In the meantime I received a bill for the cancellation at the rent house for the remainder of the contract.
I am not paying this bill, ADT needs to let me out of the termination fees because I gave them two opportunities to relocate my service and their service is out of date. I am not removing anything from my brand new house just for them to give me an out of date system. I am prepared to fight this in court. Or whatever it takes. They can pick the easy way or the hard way. That simple.

I had ADT and I love them. They're always there to answer your call. If they needed to come do anything, which wasn't very often, they did come. And if it was something covered, they wouldn't charge for it. Because they had come, we had to change the door, have it made and put in. They had to come and redo that, but they didn't charge anything. I'm very well pleased with ADT. The only reason I left them was that I moved. With age, I downsized from a house to an apartment with a 24-hour doorman and a garage walk right into the building, so we no longer have security systems in individual apartments. Otherwise, I would have still been with ADT.

We’ve had ADT installed more than 10 years ago. The problem is it's an outdated system and doesn't have any of the advantages that the new alarm system offers. You can’t even have the alarm working with a wireless phone, like to the internet, and you have to have a ground line to be able to work with the alarm system. Other than that, whenever there is a problem or for some reason the alarm goes off, they always call and problems are taken care of.
