    The product is great, the installation was perfect. Could ask for any of that to be better but it cost $99 for the installation, and at that time they were running a promotion to receive a $100 gift card back if you mail some stuff in. Well it's been two months and I still haven't received that gift card yet.

    I have been with ADT for quite a few years and can honestly say that the knowledge and consideration that was given to me in my time of need was second to none. Whether a door was opened while on alarm by accident or I needed a new battery at a certain window or door that started beeping, ADT had the answers. I have suggested to a few neighbors that ADT was excellent and provided the type of security that we needed in this changing world, unfortunately because of the changing times and violence we need to have our alarm systems on at all times even while at home. Although I live in a very quiet, gated community I still have my alarm system on while I work from home. I feel secure knowing that ADT is there for protection. Most of this community is protected by ADT as far as I could see. Thank you.

    The activation went pretty well. However, when I made the appointment, it wasn't made clear to me how long the install would take, so I thought the 2pm-4pm window would be fine for us to still leave at 5pm to get to our evening plans. The installer showed up at 4pm and moved as fast as he could - he was very accommodating. That didn't leave him enough time to really show us how to use the system, however, so we had a few lingering issues and problems. The technician I worked with on the phone a couple days later was great and resolved them.

    This is the second BAD interaction/installation I have had from ADT. After receiving and reviewing the electronic contract I learned that I would not own the equipment I am paying to be installed in the home I do own. I tried several times prior to my appointment to get an alternate contract; by email then and third time by mail. My wife even rescheduled our appointment because we had not received the new contract. Your installation tech arrived without the full complement of the equipment to be installed and wanted me to sign the original contract. Needless to say I am disappointed in ADT's business practices, lack customer oriented communication, and the take your money and run approach to sales. I am now searching for a new security provider after 12 years and 3 homes with ADT!

    My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with ADT. We seem to test the system every so often, accidentally, by forgetting to turn it off before we leave the house. We've no more than gotten in our car, then the people from ADT are calling us to make sure everything is alright. Once we didn't answer the phone fast enough, and the police had been called and were at our door. As embarrassing as that is, I don't think you can feel safer with any other security system or people.

    A while back I had an issue with my system as I was turning it off in the morning. It couldn't connect and was continuously beeping. When I called for help, the woman I spoke to was very patient and helpful. I ended up needing to unplug the battery, which was a "task" as it was difficult to open the system due to the placement directly under my cabinets. She was able to talk me through the procedure, and then made sure that it truly was reading with the dispatch. My situation was taken care of efficiently, in a friendly manner and with great patience. Thank you!

    I just canceled my account with ADT. I didn't have a bad experience, but I felt that ADT did not value my business, as I had not heard from them in the over two years that I had the service. I switched to a new company that gave me a much better system, including an outdoor camera and two-way radio communication (like an ONSTAR) for just a little more money. In San Jose, the police will not respond to an alarm, and without two-way speaking ability with the alarm company, I couldn't verify that I really needed police assistance. Had ADT known this and offered an upgraded system, I probably would not have switched.

I would personally suggest, going forward, if you receive notice of a rate increase to call us and dispute it. At this time, I have lowered your monthly rate down to $34.99.

    I find the service and company to be good. I find most companies today (Ex - cellphone and cable) will do anything to get customers, via a cheap or free system, then when an existing customer wants more they have to pay high prices for upgrades that the new customer will get for free. Hence the loss of the older customer. Ex - I recently switched back to Comcast because Fios, after being with them for 5 years, would give any break on anything. They'll give away features for 2 years but older customers never seem to benefit.

    I am VERY disappointed with ADT representative who installed my security system on 2/11/2017. I learned he no longer works for ADT and now he works for COMCAST. I ordered three outside cameras and one indoor cameras. This guy told me he was installing three outdoor cameras and one will remain inside. He also told me that there is no longer any difference between the outdoor cameras now. He set everything up and then told me that because of Washington, DC laws ADT must get the cameras approved for installing outside the home. Therefore, I waited from 2/11 until April (after I called someone from ADT on status) to be told that ADT no longer has outdoor cameras. I was also told that the ADT Representative who installed my security system LIED to me.

    If I had known all of this... I would have NOT signed up with ADT. I would have done something different. I am VERY upset with ADT and how things were handled and how this guy just LIED to me and no one seems to care. Once I am done with this contract, I will not continue my services with ADT. If I locate a service that has outdoor cameras, I will most likely depart from ADT. I do not like to be lied.

I upgraded to a video alarm system and I have the camera installed so that I can have a record which the police had also recommended. ADT brought out a whole new system and they installed it. The technician knew what he was doing, tested it thoroughly and showed me how to work everything. Also, it's very easy dealing with their customer service people. They were very knowledgeable and helpful.

    The security system came with a remote where I can disarm and arm it away. I can also monitor it by phone and by text if there's a problem through their mobile app which is very helpful. I can also view it on a computer. I simply put in my code number and view the indoor camera and see what's going on. In addition, the previous system would have a lot of false alarm and I have to leave work and drive 35 miles to get home and find out there was nothing wrong. With the new one, it worked when somebody actually tried to get into the shed. So the new system is much better. Overall, the service and equipment are very good and I'm very satisfied.

    ADT has an offer campaign of a "free" $100 Visa card with new customers, etc. Once one is a customer, ADT charges the customer $99 for the "install" whether or not anything is "installed." The "free" $100 is a scam. But, this is the least of it. In order to qualify for the "free" card, one must have certain ADT documents which one may have trashed without realizing that they were needed. Secondly, administration of the Visa deal is MPELL Solutions which has its own standards that must be met. Their information which eventually comes with the card is incomplete.

    I was led to believe that I could "register" the card by calling such and such number, but was told that is not right and given a different number. Then I had to wait for someone to "register" the card as promised by MPELL Solutions and the first call to the Visa card people. The person who was to register said he could only revise the address not register the card and that the card can only be registered online. Thoroughly unpleasant experience all around. ADT is no better at monitoring than my previous monitor but does charge more each month.

    I have only had ADT since January 2017 and can't wait to get rid of it. I am overcharged every single month. Bill is suppose to be $59.99 monthly, I end up paying $117+ a month. I guess I have a credit, which I am NEVER TOLD ABOUT. Defenders; the people who installed my alarm took a check that was never cashed and now they call me every single hour of the day between 8 am - 5 pm telling me I owe them money. I asked for a paper bill to be sent so I can begin to pay it since THEY SCREWED UP and I'm stuck paying for the incompetent employee's mistake & now I have to pay double for this service. I was told a bunch of lies when I called originally on price and installation costs. I wish I would have found another alarm company.

    ADT continues to call my phone every day. I'll answer and the line disconnects and then they call again from another number and will transfer me to someone. By then I have been on hold and nothing gets resolved. I finally spoke to an agent and told her what is going on with the incessant phone calls. She tells me that on her end there is no record of the phone calls. I asked if she could please somehow take me off the call list. Her response was that she could take me off the phone list, but then if I had an emergency and my alarm went off that they would not call me! Absurd!

    I have yet to receive the $100 gift card and it's been two months. I called and the agent said that she couldn't give me any information on where in the process it was currently located. I am amazed that agents even say the words, "I don't know how to do that". And the grand finale, I still use ADT because obviously I am in a two year contract, but I moved 4 months ago and transferred my services to this location. Just received a letter from a collection agency for ADT for over $1000!! I am paid up and have even paid a month in advance!!

    ADT false information. Be aware! In February 2016, we received a call by ADT company saying that our house was selected among the houses of our sector to have a system ADT free with the condition to put the panel ADT in front of the house for 3 week AND No obligation to subscribe. The agent on the phone said that a representative will be sent to us to explain the approach if we are interested.

    So she sent the representative who explained the cost to me etc. (very quickly). I said, "Okay. We will try and if we will not need it later we will just cut the service." In February this year. I changed phone house phone provider. Since my home phone and internet is connected to their alarm system, the service is no longer communicating with the central. So I don't have the service anymore and I am still paying each month.

    Now if I want the service to be connected I have to pay another machine that will make the link between my phone the alarm system plus additional monthly fees. Plus the machine is old not even modern technology and expensive compared to other companies. That machine cost 1200 plus fees. I told them to send me an email with detailed fees two months ago and I had no answer since then. Be aware of ADT scam!

    We've had the service since 2012 and it's been great until we decided to move and no longer needed their services. We had renewed our contract last year not knowing we would potentially move, and called ADT if we could cancel. I may have expected a small cancellation fee but would you call over $700 a small fee? We are not pleased with the options or lack of options we were given. We could not transfer over the service to a new home because we were moving in with relatives that already had their own security system.

    Their suggestion was to add the cost into the price of our house that we were selling to pay it. What kind of suggestion is that? We haven't come to a resolution for this and I feel like we are put in a corner to pay this fee. I think it's ridiculous. I can't express enough my disappointment.

    The ADT service is excellent and I love them! The installers came about 9:00 in the morning and they worked until around 4:00. They were nice and they went over everything with us. When we first got it, the kids from next door came over and without thinking, I opened the door and the alarm went off. It happened to me several times but the reps were very sweet when they called me. They didn't yell at me. They said, "That's okay. We understand." I told my husband, "One of these days, it will go off and they're not gonna call 'cause they'll think I'm doing this again." But no, when it goes off, they handle it beautifully. And we've never had anybody break in. So we're lucky.

    I also have the ADT fall alert button. It kept going off until finally, the rep said to me, "Maybe you need to get a different button." She then told me to send the old one back and they sent me a new one. So overall, ADT was the best decision we could have made and I'm glad I believed in them. They're wonderful. And the price isn't all that bad, either. We have two bills from them: the one for the security and I have the one for my "fall alert", but it's nothing we can't afford, which is good.

That room is not being used for a long time, and one day I saw water coming from outside through that hole when it rains. That was one bad incident I had and ADT never fixed it. I got a handyman fixed the hole. Then I had to add one more entry to the house, where I would set the alarm. They said they have to come here and it’s only 5 seconds, but they have to charge $85.

But there isn’t anything that can be done about it. The sales reps have all been real helpful when I talk to them. Then the installation team had always been really nice.

    First off let me start by saying this is my experience and I have definitely learned from it. ADT Security is so awful. Please if you're thinking about going with ADT do yourself a favor and go with someone else. I'm not the type of person to blast a company like this but I feel like people need to know what's going on. I've read countless stories exactly the same as mine on their Facebook page. I'll start by telling you when I turned 18 I lost my father and was left all alone in this world. I did what I could to take care of myself but it was very hard. I had to move into a horrible apartment complex where people got robbed and even shot on a weekly basis. Naturally I needed a company to protect all of my deceased father's valuable items that he left me, and I ended up going with ADT. Boy did I screw up there.

    I can't tell you how many reviews I've read that have the same story as me. They're a bunch of crooks that only care about money. I only needed ADT for a year until my lease was up and when they were explaining everything to me they made it seem as if I could stop services whenever I needed to. There's no way I would have ever agreed to a three-year contract with only a year lease. It's a very common thing you can see if you go read the reviews. They don't talk to you about your contract length and make it seem as if you could end it whenever you needed.

    I work 10 hours a day 6 days a week to barely get by, I can't even start to tell you how hard I work for my money. It's really hard when you're all alone in this world and it's practically impossible to do it on your own. I struggle to even keep food in my fridge and some days I don't eat just so my dog can. This isn't a joke people this is real life and it's so hard with no family and no help. I'm appalled by ADT's tactics to scam people into a contract and just how they don't care about anything except getting their money. Nothing but crooks and when I buy my house (a year after my contract ends with ADT) I will absolutely make sure I give my business and hard earned money to a respectful company that actually deserves it.

    Every dime I make goes to bills, food, and rent. I don't even have money for myself and it's very depressing. I can't even begin to explain how upset I am with this company and I will do anything I can to make sure anyone I know or come across doesn't get screwed by this company like I did. I won't slander their name but what I will do is share my experience with them exactly as it was. When I got in touch with them to ask why they would scam someone into a long contract like that, what they told me it isn't their problem and it's my fault for not reading the contract word for word. I would think the contract length would absolutely be a priority of things to talk about when they come to set your contract up. There's no way I would have ever signed a three-year contract in a one year lease. But apparently this is a very very very common thing for them to do to people.

    What upsets me the most is I'm always struggling to keep food in my stomach and gas in my tank but all they care about is their money and the contract I signed. I will absolutely make sure end my contract on time and when I buy my house I will most certainly be going with another security service. Very unfortunate for them because my house will always be protected and that's money they screwed their self out of, practically handing my business to another company. I would have been a happy customer for the rest of my life if they knew how to handle their business the right way or even did something to correct this but they offered me no assistance and didn't care at all that I struggle to keep my dog and I fed.

    I've even been having to sell my deceased father's items that have tremendous sentimental value that cannot be replaced just to get by. Every penny helps so much and they continue to take my money I desperately need for services I cannot even use. I'm desperately waiting the arrival of the end of this contract so I can never give them another dime. Very unfortunate for them for handing my business over to another company. It's a shame and I hope they don't do this to anyone else. I just wish they had done something to make it right. They lost my future business when they told me it was my fault for not reading all the huge contract they throw in my face. It really is a shame but I know I've learned from it. They're going to continue to run off potential lifelong customers, like myself, if they continue to do this to honest hard working people just trying to survive.

    I've been with ADT for about 30 years and it's been a very positive experience. I've been very pleased with them and nobody else has come up with anything better. Whenever I call about anything, it seems to be taken care of very quickly. Once, their tech came out and changed the pad up in my bedroom, and he was very pleasant. My sense of security being with ADT has been fine and I haven’t had any attempted break-ins. It's been very effective and every time anything happens, I get a call or I call them and everything is taken care of.

    I've always been happy with ADT and have gotten good customer service when I've needed it. Things seem to be working well. The sales rep was very accommodating and he explained things well. The crew that came in to install the system was informative and did a good job. I feel safe when I have the system on and it's been easy to use. It goes off when it needs to.

    One of the features that I really appreciated was that I got an email from ADT saying that my battery was low. I didn't even know that it was low or that I needed to ever change it. Through their system, they could realize that my main battery was getting low and that it had gone beyond the normal changeover time. They were able to put it into a mode where I could change all the batteries without it alerting them that something was wrong. When I needed to change batteries, I was able to communicate by phone and they walked me through it. Between that and online, I was able to change the main batteries and also all the door batteries.

    I learned to appreciate Ackerman more after trying another service (ADT). What a BIG MISTAKE. I do not know exactly why I changed. That is, except I was told by ADT they would treat me fairly and it would be worth it to make the change. After having the system for about four days, I decided I did not want it anymore (prices changed among other disappointments) and was told it was too late. I didn't want it because I found this was the wrong SECURITY service to trust. (Main reason) - I prefer my accounts paid on time. Since a few years have been added to my age, I have mostly automatic payments. Someone from ADT, (Didn't get the name from the not so nice person.) decided to get a large sum from my account without my permission. As I asked questions, I discovered she had gotten my credit score without my permission as well. There was a freeze, I thought, on my credit.

    When I asked her how she managed to get the report, she answered very strongly "Because I am security". I asked how could I stop the service and was told by paying three years of service. It was too late now. I didn't, at the time have the service for a week. In the beginning, I was told the cost was 29.00 per month. It is now 49.99. Yes, it hurts. I have a very limited fixed income. Yes Ackerman was quite a bit less. I could pay them over two months with this amount. Very nice company who checked periodically on their service. There should be something done about ADT. I have had conversations with other consumers who feel the same. I know I have two services here. I feel there is a justifiable reason for both. One ADT, is so bad, I just had to mention it. ACKERMAN is so GREAT, it needs to be mentioned.

Occasionally, when we have too much smoke in the kitchen, it sets the alarm off. They call us immediately to make sure everything is okay. And then once, we had just left the house and was a couple of blocks away, they called my cellphone and we turned around and came back and everything was okay. Another instance was when we weren't home and the alarm went off and they couldn’t reach us, they notified the police and they came out and checked it out to make sure everything was okay.

    ADT has some great home security options, but they don't disclose that a third party is who your contract is with. They also don't disclose ANYWHERE in my contract that you have to re-enter a new 3 year contract EVERY time you move. This is NOT good when you're a renter and tend to move a lot. I don't like contracts to begin with and it's actually rare that at any rental for up to 3 years because of rent increases and other factors. High pressure and misleading sales at time of installation. ADT and their third party contractors that are actually providing the service don't seem to communicate with each other. You can ONLY use ADT supplies with their services which are astronomically expensive. Had I known all of these details before getting a home security system, I would have shopped around! I trusted the ADT name though. I do, however, feel secure with the security system itself.

    I called ADT several numbers but all representative hang up or transferred my call. We moved from Gurnee. We completed the relocation and had accessed number. On 9/3 9:00 pm, the man visited my house and introduced himself as ADT salesman. We believed ADT send the man for extended our agreement from Gurnee. He made a contract and told me I would be able to cancel his service anytime. Also, my husband reminded him about double check of previous contract cancellation. But, we've charged double for 7 months. I called several numbers of ADT. Many of representatives hang up phones, also screaming. Some representatives told me "ADT but TOTALLY DIFFERENT COMPANIES". It's not be the reason as the sales told me as he was from ADT.

    But, I needed to call two companies. The first company accepted our cancellation by charging more 6 month $360 after we moved out the previous house. If the salesman talked me honestly as he worked for the different company, also he couldn't cancel for the previous contract, we didn't make a new contract. He deceived us and made a new contract for $318 for devices and $1943.64 (53.99/month).

    We paid almost $100 monthly for 7months only for security. I called more than 20 representatives and many of them hang up the phone or transferred me to somebody. I talked the same things many times and tired out. Even if I asked them the business address, they can't answer it. Where is their office? Their evidence is just charging me. What is ADT. I called 877-842-0818 and asked the cancellation as this contract was broken by the sales. But representative strongly pushed me to pay more than $700 for cancellation. I didn't break any promises. We paid $318 at first and pay monthly. As the salesman didn't let us know the truth and we got a big damages. Then we are asked cancellation fee more than $700. This is not fair. I STRONGLY ASK THEM TO CANCEL THIS CONTRACT BY NO CANCELLATION COST AS THIS DOUBLE CHARGE HAPPENED BY THEIR FAULT.

    I have been an ADT customer since 2004. We upgraded our security system two weeks ago. We added two outdoor cameras, one indoor camera, five more door/window sensors, one smoke detector, Ring doorbell, a digital control panel, and upgrade keypad. The installation technician didn't know what he was doing. He spent more than twelve hours to install the digital panel with keypad as well as the door/window sensors. He even called his coworker to come over to install the cameras for him. Eventually, one of the cameras was blocked by the outdoor flood light because he forgot the camera location where I wanted him to install. He wanted me to keep the camera location since it was too late to reinstall the camera. Also, he told me a big hole would be left in the wall if the camera moved to different location. Now the side camera can only cover less than 40% of the designated area.

    The front door camera angle is too high and does not meet our expectations. The technician refused to re-adjust the angle because he had an errand to run after the installation. Now the front door camera cannot sense any unknown cars parked in front of my house as well as any people trespassers. I told him the Ring doorbell position was too low during the installation but he refused to adjust the Ring doorbell location. Now the Ring doorbell cannot capture the persons facial image at the front door. The function of the system is completely out of our expectations.

    The technician spent more than one hour trying to sell me more devices instead of focusing on the installation. He wanted me to sign the paperwork quickly so that he could leave the place. He told me it wouldn't matter whether or not I sign the paperwork, even if I was dissatisfied of the outcome of the installation. We were very very very upset about his poor performance. I sent an email to his supervisor the next day but he selected to refuse responding to the complaint. I then sent another email to ADT's corporate office in East Coast. They also selected to refuse responding to the complaint. We want our money back and want to discontinue all services with ADT. We will not use them again since they are absolutely unprofessional.

It then went off and wouldn't turn off regardless if I unplugged the machines and attempted to log in online to turn it off. I contacted ADT to schedule another technician service and requested they turn off alarm. The tech was scheduled to come out later that day.

    The agent disarmed the alarm and as soon as I hung up the phone the alarm went off on its own again. And again I couldn't turn it off no matter what I did. The police even came to the home. It was 5 am. I then took a hammer to both machines as this was the only way I knew of to disarm them. I immediately called ADT and was told I would now be charged for a technician and new equipment. At which point I canceled the service. Now, I receive a $700 bill for the remainder of a contract. How could a company charge you for a service that does not work, and when you cancel, you are charged? Sounds like highway robbery to me.

    Defenders ADT got in touch with me promptly and completely satisfied my dispute with them.

    Original Review: March 27, 2017

    My experience with purchasing and getting my alarm system installed was punctuated with multiple false promises, including a verbal promise from 2 agents that I could cancel my contract within 6 months, promises for additional devices, and a hidden fee and process for getting the $100 gift card. This was a local installer Protect Your Home of Kansas City. Frankly the only good reviews I can find about ADT are about the corporation. Most reviews of the franchises, if that's what they are, are terrible. Considering ADT's excellent reputation, I foolishly believed what I was told.

    I responded to a mailer offering $100 gift card refund for my installation. I was promised 2 motion detector devices on the phone but only received 1. Victor assured me multiple times verbally that, even though it wasn't in the contract, I had 6 months to cancel it. Considering that ADT is a well regarded company, I assumed he could be trusted.

    The installation person, promised I'd get support from him via personal text for 2 weeks after the installation, but couldn't get him to fulfill multiple promises to come fix my system. My home was unsecured for 5 days while he tried to get someone to fix it, but I paid full price. He also took down the wrong numbers, which resulted in a police call for a faulty window alarm. 4. The $100 gift card they promised required me to print out and send a $4.95 S&H fee, so the actual amount of the card $95.05 less postage and cost of the money order. 5. I called the 800-689-9554 number attempt to cancel my account, but was told repeatedly that despite what I was told repeatedly, they would hold me to the 36 month contract. At every step of the way I was promised things just to get my business that turned out later to be not entirely honest. It's a shame that a company with such a stellar reputation would tell a series of half truths and outright lies just to get my business.

    ADT is a great company. I feel like it's a great value for the money. I appreciate the help from customer service, whenever I call to ask any question. They are understanding of my needs and I feel that I get a good value for my money. The added security and benefit of the app and the convenience of using it anywhere are great for my busy lifestyle.

    Thanks for your vote!

    Our experience was excellent -- from the salesman to the technician. Responsive. We are happy to have ADT service!! I will definitely recommend this company to anyone who asks. And since we are in a new subdivision, that is a real possibility. Thanks for everything.
