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. The price was great and included a free year of cloud monitoring. It was surprising that ADT who provided great wireless security for us for the past 16 years couldn't provide what we wanted.
Hi Gail - We thank you for being a long time customer and are grateful to hear of the positive experience you've had with your wireless security system. We apologize for letting you down in this way. While we do offer outdoor cameras compatible with Pulse, the installation of these devices does require minor wiring.
If we may be of further assistance, may you please private message us with the address in which the service is located? Thank you. ~Trèchell

I had ADT before in Nebraska, so this is not my first time with them and I wouldn't have gotten them back again if I don't recommend them. I'm careful and I haven't had a lot of mistakes and I do everything online. The only person that's been here was the person who installed it. He's professional and courteous. I haven't had any unauthorized entries. I had a false alarm once when my cinders fell off and I was at home and caught that. Then I've also had a couple of accidental alarms when I forgot that I had the alarm on stay, but they were quick to respond and someone came to the front door before I could do anything. Overall, I've had a good experience for both addresses.
Hernando, thank you for sharing your experience with ADT. You safety and peace of mind means the world to us!

I've been with ADT for quite a while. We just initiated it and then they came and installed it. They seemed to be knowledgeable and the call center people are always great. We haven't wanted to change the equipment and then when we were thinking about it, about a couple of years ago, they gave us a great rate so that we continued with them. I'm very satisfied.

I had an issue with my other security system so I gave ADT a shot to find out what's what. There's a vast array of options such as cameras and so forth. It's all part of what package you work out with them. Their rep explained each one thoroughly. What I really liked was he said I could make my own system and add things on it. 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. It'd be a good thing if they could come down in price, though.

An ADT Authorized Dealer is an independently owned and operated company. They install and sell alarm equipment, but do not provide a monitoring service. They partner and contract with us to provide a monitoring service to their privately acquired customers and, in some instances, ADT purchases the contract from them after a pre-arranged set of time. -Andrew

By early this year I signed with ADT, and since then everything has been a nightmare, most of the time I do not have a camera and send technical and do not get the problem, the trouble is they charge me 25 dollars for the visit of the technical and I no longer dare not call. The application of ADTPulse, most of the time is defective, and can check my records the times I've had to call during the months of August and September 2016 and to make matters worse since the day yesterday September 20, 2016 at this time 6:30 pm Wednesday, even I have no camera.

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. The Monitoring unit was not showing any errors and it was on during entire night. About 20 minutes later I disarmed the system because I was about to get into garage and open garage door. 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. She agreed to schedule technician but so far I haven't seen any follow-up.

The installer (Josh) was on time, worked efficiently, was pleasant to deal with. He did not have one piece of equipment, namely the large Fob for turning the system on or off. He left us his phone number, which we have called several times, yet he does not return our calls. He was to bring us the correct Fob. Also, we are not being charged the price advertised on TV. ($29.95). Instead it is almost double that price ($52.99). He never disclosed the monthly cost to us. He indicated that the equipment installed would not increase the monthly price, nor did he leave us a list of the equipment installed.

Everything was great until it came to getting my two referral bonuses. I assume it was due to the Local office. Kept getting the runaround almost 3 months later... called corporate office and the lady put in my Credit before I even hung up the phone. So I'm confused as to why that couldn't be done in the first place... That experience kind of makes me hesitate to refer people. We ought to get what's promised without having to go through any hassle for it.

I am very upset that an amount, UNAUTHORIZED BY ME, was automatically deducted from my bank account for the first bill. I have received an explanation but that does not alter the fact that it was taken from my account without my knowledge...makes me very nervous to have them withdrawing money each month that is not what I authorized or was originally explained to me. I feel there was also a lot of false advertising.

We were very excited to have ADT installed. That was short lived when the installer showed up. First he didn't offer what had been discussed over the phone. We ended up having to call in again while he waited to make sure we got what we had been promised. Then when we saw a charge we were unaware of we called in asking why and why hadn't we received a statement, what the charge would be. We were told we "didn't qualify for statement billing"?!?!? Um ok. We were NOT told there would be charge going thru (even though it wasn't due for another 2 weeks we found out when we actually received a statement). They have yet to call me back.

I am renovating my home where one of my monitors is located. After waiting on hold for approx 7 minutes, I called in to ask about having someone to move it before the renovation. 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 rate the ADT employees who answer customer complaints with One or Two stars. I had two fire alarms due to failure of the original fire detector ADT installed in my home years and years ago.

The second time I could not respond to ADT in time and the Omaha Fire Department was knocking loudly on my front door. I got there BEFORE they broke in and explained I was changing alarm companies because the ADT response to the second false alarm was to vacuum out the sensor again. I googled "contact CEO of ADT" and got his address and thought I should tell him WHY I was leaving ADT. Corporations should know why customer's leave. His reaction was much like mine.

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. No one will extend and new customers will be careful not to choose them.

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.

I've been using ADT for the last 15 years, since we first moved to Texas.

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.

Ridiculous that a company wants a payment but won't send me a bill and different people give different due days if I remember to call in. Fed up.

We signed up and paid $1200.00+ for new equipment and were told that we would be getting a $100.00 gift card in the mail for signing up. I figured since we split our $1200.00 into 3 equal installments that we would receive it after our final payment was made. A month later still nothing. A little disappointing!

Hello Dorinda! Thank you for reaching out and I'm sorry for this concern with the gift card. I was able to locate your account and see that you purchased your security services through an ADT Authorized Dealer, Defender Security. Also known as Protect Your Home.

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?

My experience will be short. MY husband and I have had an ADT acct for over q0 years and we have been current with our acct. My mother in law vehicle window was broke while she was on vacation. After the incident she no longer felt safe. My husband and I had hers reinstalled at her prior address. My mother in law is 84 yrs old. She was getting a lot of respiratory illnesses. Come to find out the home she was for over 50 yrs was Mold infested.
When we called ADT we were told we could transfer the service and the transfer fees would be waived, and we asked if the services were not needed in her new senior community living home could she get out of the contract? We were told we would have to call back. That was okay because we were not sure, if she would need them or not anyways. So we hooked up the Internet just to be safe. Long story short... customer service was the worst we have ever had. Everything we called after and try to explain. But what would be easier to explain is if someone would call us and ask us about our experience.

I canceled service within the initial 3 days due to what I consider misrepresentation, contract not seen upon installation to hide price (27.99 special to 49.99 charged), installer e-signed my initials on contract, owned functioning equipment taken without approval, and specs of promotional flyer and actual install discrepancies. I contacted local supervisor Gary ** in reference to taken equipment. He stated he would return call upon speaking to installer. He has not after 24 hours. I would like assurances of refund of installation cost, initial payment, and reimbursement of taken equipment.

We bought a home that had a perfectly good ADT corporate installed system & we had simply requested that the service be transferred from the previous homeowner's name to our name. Defender/Protect Your Home came to arrange the transfer and convinced my wife that the existing system was incompatible with transmitting "the signal" now, and we would have to purchase an entirely new system. They offered a 4 payment system which my wife agreed to, but then illegally withdrew the entire $2600 fee from our bank account. Then the technician who was there from 4:30 PM until 11:30 PM left without explaining how the system operated and how to set it up.
That firm does not have a business listing where it can be contacted and left no paperwork regarding the "sale". Everything was done via an online system with no way of contacting them. After a lot of aggravation I finally convinced them to remove the system they installed but they are unable, or unwilling to reinstall the system that had worked perfectly well until the day before they showed up. Further, when we asked to cancel the contract, initially they refused, until threatened with legal action. We are still not satisfied with the outcome and are left, as of this date, without a security system. The entire experience has been a nightmare. At a minimum, this firm's affiliation with ADT leaves a lot to be desired and casts a dark shadow over the ADT corporate name.
