    How do you rate something when you have called numerous times starting the day it was installed with issues and no one will return your call to address your issues??? I feel we have been ignored so there is no way to cancel this service now since the time span has passed. It was installed and the installer was in such a hurry to leave, did not give us a time to test the system! We had ADT years ago and now I realize why we left you then because of customer service. VERY DISSATISFIED. The main issue is our motion detector does not pick up unless you are very close to it and like I stated earlier, I have called numerous times. And I really do not expect a call now so this is probably a waste of my time!!!

    After being burglarized and feeling so violated we contacted a local company and had the ADT alarm system installed the very next day. It does give us the peace of mind now to leave our home in confidence that it is protected from others. It is quite amazing that we've lived in our home for over 38 years and never once thought our home would be hit. Well times are a changing and demographics are changing. We never take anything for granted now and are very careful with posting anything on social media when we are gone for an extended period of time. You just never know.

    I added the water detection and temperature detection to my ADT system because we travel extensively. These two devices give me peace of mind. I would know, for example, of a broken pipe or air conditioner or furnace malfunctions because the presence of water on my basement floor or a big increase or decrease in the temperature in the house would alert me on my phone. These two less well-known services only slightly increase in my monthly bill.

    Installers had excellent PR skills. Two things I wasn't happy about is that we got a cheap pad. The pad we had at our old place had voice talking. It was convenient because it would announce if we hit "Stay" or "Away" or whichever entry was open. The second thing is that the entire system is sometimes slow to respond. There have been times where I would open the door, and it would take about 5 seconds before any alarm would go off. There was even one time where the alarm didn't go off at all.

    Reviewed Sept. 22, 2016

    Love the ADT product and company, that is why my wife and I went back. BUT, the service rep that we talked to apparently talked up more than he could actually do. He stated that he would be able to buy out our existing contract to set us up with ADT. This was before he even found out what we owed. Almost 3 months later, after numerous lies about check being approved, manager approving everything, checks in the mail, we find that our rep wasn't authorized to buy out our amount of contract. His manager was only a bit better on all this. After all was said and done, we got the payoff check, in 2 parts, two weeks apart. I would have been happy to stay with my existing company until I could have switched back to ADT, but they insisted and fell through until we had to push harder. Hopefully I'm not having to deal with that particular rep again with empty promises.

    I have ADT Pulse. We were on vacation last summer and the fire alarm went off twice. The reps called and the fire department came but we hadn’t given our keys to anyone, so we had our neighbors look and see that there was no fire. Sometimes the fire detectors are set off if there’s dust or insects run across them. The sales representative was fine, but the installer took much longer than he needed to. We thought it would take two or three hours and it took about five. He talked too much. Other than that, the experience we had with ADT has been good so far.

    I had ADT as our security provider for years at our former address. Actually ADT came highly recommended by our bank. We called ADT requesting service at our new home, everything went fine until the day that I talked with the installer. Originally I was going to get a camera for inside. I told the installer that I need cameras outside too. He told me that will cost me over a $1000. I said "ok". Later I discovered that for over a $1000 I get 8 cameras. I called him and told him that due to the shape of the house I would need 10 cameras and this is when I noticed a not so usual practice from the installer's part. For 2 extra cameras the price went from $1000+ to $2440+. I said nothing thinking that a good camera system will be useful. He installed the camera system and then I noticed that he sold me a very substandard system, is the type of cameras that would be used for baby monitoring. Definitely not $2400+ cameras.

    He placed the alarm system on what he told me was practice mode. The siren would not go off. I called the company. They send out a technician. He told me that the screws were not tight by the previous installer. Some rooms were left out even though had monitoring before. The new technician told me if I go with him he will fix it. He wrote down the charges: Labor $123 1st 30 Minutes, $31 each additional 15 minutes. He did not completed the charge chart. I started calling ADT to cancel the service that was within the cancellation time frame. I was placed on hold for so long that I eventually had to hang up since my phone died. I called back. I was connected into a dead line. After about 26 minutes of ringing I was connected in to the initial menu. I thought to wait till Monday maybe I can talk to some more sensible people. Was I wrong. In a way a young men was trying to chew me out and then hang up on me.

    Finally I was connected to (CUSTOMER LOYALTY) what ever this means. They were just as rude as the initial ones. Long story short at one call I was given a phone number in Seattle WA. The mail box to that phone was full and I was lucky and I would like to commend that young lady who give me cell phone number to this individual, supposedly a manager. After trying to convince me to stay with ADT he told me to call customer loyalty back. After doing so I obtained a cancellation number (after several days of harassment) and was told that I need to write a letter to AURORA, CO. I sent the letter with a return signature card. They received it on 26 of August. And now the good part. According to my record the alarm system was installed on August 18, when we were charged $2477.99 for an equipment worth around $300. In September while checking my bank account I noticed that some money is missing.

    I called my bank asking about it. I was told that ADT charged me $70.81 on Sept 17. I was also told that ADT attempted to charge me $1465.23 on Sept 18, the bank did not authorized it. Further ADT charged me $51 on July 28, when the alarm was not installed till August 18. All this charges after a flimsy installation where I got wires all over the house hanging, the alarm control box has no door on it. The camera's wireless receivers are all over my garage, they used my bedroom electrical outlet to connect the power. Cameras has no night vision, the field of vision is very limited. The $2400+ cameras measures 3x3" wow what a serious camera. ADT please tell me why I should not take you to court for embezzling money from an elderly disabled veteran? Is practicing elder abuse become a norm with you? Or your installer representing you did not liked my accent? By the way the cancellation number is **.

    We have a wireless ADT alarm system with interior motion sensors. We called ADT to add the Ring doorbell and two wireless outdoor cameras. The ADT technician told us that their outdoor cameras were not wireless. As we do not have wiring, that would not help. Also, the security package ADT offered included an indoor camera which we did not need. We ended up buying the wireless Ring doorbell at Costco.

I had a few issues and I needed to call ADT back a couple times. Their technicians came back and fixed them. I was a little disappointed since some of those should've been resolved on the first trip back. But they were resolved and since that time, I haven't had those problems.

    On the morning of the 20th I received a call from ADT warning me about an error on the system and that I should check the batteries.

System was responding well but soon I got another warning call from the ADT with the same instructions as a while ago.

    I called your technical support and explained that the system shows nothing wrong and that's no need calling me for nothing then just send technician to check on it if error shows on your end. Your representative told me in a sarcastic way that in that case "since I don't want to be bothered then they will stop calling me even that's a serious matter". I told her that I'm paying for house protection and if something doesn't work properly then a technician should come to investigate.

The customer service agent began to tell me the cost of the person to come out, how much per hour, etc. She basically tried to convince me that I didn't need someone to come out because of the cost. I didn't care about the cost. I wanted security and was willing to pay hence I made the call. I also asked if I moved the mechanism would the alarm go off? She stated "no it's fine." A few problems here. Can I literally knock off a sensor and it doesn't tell anybody I did so unless it's armed?

    She could've offered me certain zones to set my alarm in moving forward. I will call in when I'm ready to have my sensor installed back in place. At least I know the agent will be able to tell me how much it's going to cost! She sure knew her pricing! As of right now, because of the renovation, I'm not even setting my alarm because the keypad is located (in the renovation area) and I allowed her to let me make the decision that I wasn't paying for a new pad relocation. I opted for a new sensor. HORRIBLE experience. It literally angers me every night I go to sleep without protection.

    I have no problems with the system at all. I've been with ADT for several years, and this is the 2nd house we've had it installed in. Feel very confident with the monitoring, and the company has been very responsive.

    Original Review: Sept. 21, 2016

    I have had a couple of problems with the equipment, but they fixed them quickly. The repair technicians don't try to up sell when they come out to resolve the problem. The system is pretty sensitive - one time I sneezed next to the panel and near one of the glassbreak monitors, and the alarm went off. The other day the cat knocked over a small side table in the room next to the panel, and it set off the alarm. But other than these incidents I'm really happy with the system. Their customer service is very professional and responsive. I have no complaints.

    I signed a contract with ADT in March 2016. I signed a 2-year contract with an agreement that the alarm would be set up in unit 1 of the building while the construction is going in unit 3 and that once a construction was done I would get free move. I moved to unit 3 and now they keep changing the story. I asked them to have manager listen to the tape what was promised but from 4 managers no one called me back. Left numerous voicemails. All were ignored. Customer service representatives were not interested in reviewing my case.

    First representative I talked to wanted me to pay $180 to move one floor up the system. I asked to let me talk to manager. Told me someone will call me in 2 days. Week later I call them back only to find out my alarm was labeled unit 3 the whole time. If someone broke into my home the police would show up at the wrong unit. I had that mistake corrected and not even apology from them. Lady transferred me to supervisor Kelly who never called me back. Then I called again. Only this time they wanted me to pay for the move $180 and buy whole new equipment. I refused and was transferred to manager and was waiting on hold for 2 hours and no one called me back after I begged the manager to call me back.

    I called again and the last guy laughed. He wanted me to pay $135 for the move, sign a brand new 3-year contract and pay $15 more so $49.99 a month for next 3 years. Also I was told I need to pay $75 for permit with the city I already paid in March. Now I live in unit 3. I have different tenants living in unit 1 and I can't even use the system. I even tried discontinuing the system and they want me to pay for 3 years even though I have a 2-year contract.

    This company is monopoly and I feel like I was used and laughed at. No managers to help you. Representatives do whatever they want. They work on commission so they are in for the money. No trust. My husband and I were planning to get ADT for business but now we will go with different company. My sister had them for years and now after what happened to me will be changing. So many other companies offer cheaper services and have understanding for their customers. ADT used to be a quality company where people used them for 20+ years including my parents but now after these sales and poor customer service I bet they will filing for bankruptcy in 3-4 years.

    An independent agent at Church asked me if we have a burglar alarm. I said yes but it's not hooked up to an answering service and if someone violates it, it doesn't have a serving company. She said, if we get a serving company, our homeowner's insurance will go down $200-$300 a year. I thought it was a good deal so I ended up with ADT.

    Their sales rep was very polite and thorough. He also installed the system. I work in a business where our facilities had alarms and there was always something going on. But so far, this has been perfect and there have been no false alarms. Although one night, I set it off because I was going to let the dogs out. I didn't know my wife had turned it on. It didn't take ADT long to call me. They asked for my password but I panicked and I couldn't remember it. I was embarrassed about that, but so far, everything worked out okay.

    However, their advertising is misleading. It talks about how inexpensive it is. The ad says one can get it at $29 a month and it only costs a few hundred dollars to get it installed. Well, it cost me $3,000 and I don't have anything fancy. We live in a 13 year old home with a bunch of windows. The price on TV is for 17 windows, it's a smaller amount. Our installer ended up putting 25 alarms on my windows and the bill came to over $3,000. I bet there's not one in five that gets the price that they offer unless they live in a small, two-bedroom home. The alarms they put on the window work but they charged us $100 for it. If they want a house to be alarmed correctly, they shouldn't say that it'll be $24 a month because I'm paying $54 a month. So, they're not being fair. They ought to take that ad off the TV. Overall, I like their product but it's overpriced.

Please be advised that when you established services, you contracted through an authorized dealer, Defender Security, and not ADT Corporate. The dealer offers different prices and promotions compared to ADT corporate. We recommend contacting your dealer regarding the installation costs at 1-800-689-9554. Thank you. -Andrew

    I've been using ADT for the last 15 years, since we first moved to Texas. We just upgraded our security system from the 15 year old system to what they call the Pulse System and the monitor that allows me to monitor the cameras has been installed now for over three months. They stuck the monitor in an upstairs bedroom, but I had health problems that won't allow me to climb upstairs and stand in front of monitors for long periods of time due to some injuries that I have. I told them before they did this that the only way I would allow them to put the monitor up there is if they would get the monitoring capabilities on my PC.

    However, they could not do this and they didn't change the positioning of the monitor. I'm in a battle with ADT about getting this fixed. I've been trying to ask the ADT guys to help me get the monitor moved, but I'm not having any success whatsoever. There were some unethical practices that went on in the implementation of this system, so I'll have to give them the worst grade that I can possibly give.

    The first month after I had ADT installed - ADT was used. As soon as I opened my glass sliding door at 3:26am to let my cats outside in my back yard 35 feet from where I was - two intruders were working in my area and when I opened my glass sliding door the opening voice message came on saying - my door was open and they heard it and left. That was all that was needed. The intruders have since been caught and prosecuted.

    I was recently out of town and at 5:30am ADT notified me, and 2 of my contacts, that there was a burglary alarm. They notified the police and glad to report that it was a false alarm - I think my cat knocked something over and it set off the glass break alarm. Sorry to everyone that it was a false alarm but VERY glad to see that ADT does what they say they will do. I feel even better now than before that I have ADT protection.

It is too long to describe all the aspects of this episode, but briefly, I was getting calls about a problem battery and then conflicting advice from ADT on how to solve it and whether I could get emergency service over the Labor Day holiday weekend. With perseverance, it was divulged that this could happen; within 20 minutes someone came and fixed the problem. Although I was charged for a service call, when I spoke to customer service, I was told I would get a refund. After two weeks I am still waiting, but expect it will happen.

    The installer was not trained very well and he did not follow through. He installed the thermostat wrong. When summer arrived the air conditioner wouldn't work. So I called the air conditioner service man and he found the thermostat was wired incorrectly so I had to pay a service call of $120.00 to change a couple wires around. The ADT installer had to drill through our siding and he said he would return to caulk the hole. He never came back and I had to buy some sealant and seal it myself. The installer didn't have an ADT yard sign with him and said he would send us one. Of course he didn't follow through and we have not received the sign. The unit has been working well and we are glad we have it but I would have to caution people to make sure they have a conscientious installer.

    I called ADT on 9/7/16 to inform them I was cancelling my service and I will not be renewing. My service is up 10/2/16. They informed me because I did not give a 30 days notice I would have to pay until 10/7/16. I have been a loyal customer for 10 years. Always paid for the service in full every year. My new service starts 9/26/16 at 5 pm with **. I am paying ADT from 9/26/16 to 7 Oct for service that is not render to me. Their corporate office called me and ask why I was leaving. I explain what is going on and received no results from them.

    This company has engaged in the worst form of gamesmanship to reach their own goals. I am not asking them to built me a Noah Ark, just do the right thing. They claim that they are merging with Protection One, however that is what Security Corp/Deacon told me. I didn't receive a 30-day notice to renew from them, more like 11-day. If 30 days notice is in my contract then I don't remember after all this time and they sure did not want me to remember. Like I said the worst form of gamesmanship to reach their own goals. Ask yourself after reading the reviews, is this company for you?
