    At our current location, we've been with ADT for about a year and a half now. They've been great. We have continuous issues with the fire alarm, though. It will randomly go off at times. Nothing going on in the house. No candles, no cooking and the alarm will go off. The fire department has responded one time. Every other time, we've been able to stop them before the fire department got there. They have sent technicians out to replace the unit. We continue to have issues. We're not really sure what's going on, and we have asked for multiple notes to be made on our account.

    Right now, we've just said, “It's something apparently we're gonna have to deal with.” But when we tried to get it fixed and resolved, it's been a lot of back and forth between ADT and Safe Haven trying to figure out what's going on and who's responsible. There are no notes on the account when we call. That's been a bit of a headache.

    I've had issues with ADT and would not recommend it to anybody. My dad used them and he had good things to say. And then, they came out and it seemed like they were gonna be a great fit, but that didn't end up being the case. The installation didn't go well. I've had multiple technicians back to try to fix and repair things. We were charged for things that weren't supposed to be used, they didn't have the equipment on installation, and I have not been able to get my cameras to work since day one and nobody returns phone calls.

    So, we've been paying for a service that we can't even use and they said that there's nothing that they'll do about that to get us out of our contract because we just want them to come and take the cameras out. Since we're in a five-year contract, we have to pay for five years on something that doesn't work. Then, no one calls you back every time you call them. They'll escalate the call to supervisors every time and no supervisor will call back. A technician is supposed to be scheduled to come out on a day that I never scheduled. It doesn't work with my schedule when, all of a sudden, I get these random text messages that a tech is coming out.

    ADT is a horrible company. When I called to try and get the service installed, a saleslady in the area came right over to my house. She was here in about 20 minutes. She didn't have any kind of contracts or anything for me to read. She just told me that I could cancel at any time. I'm a disabled veteran. We haven't even moved into our house yet. There's no furniture in our house, and me and my wife were here, and this lady is telling us all this great stuff about the system. We used to have a glass break sensor in the bedroom, and there should be window sensors on every window. I even asked her during that time, “If any of those sensors are missing, and then do you guys replace them for this new install? Because I'm a new customer." She was like, “Yeah, that's all taken care of.”

    Then she started going over we have to have a contract, and I said, “How long is the contract?” She said, “You can cancel the contract at any time.” She never told me it was a three-year contract. Apparently, you're supposed to cancel in the first seven days because within 30 days, I hated the service. I found out the city I live in requires a alarm fee to be paid, and I didn't know about that. Then I didn't wanna pay the alarm fee, so I was gonna cancel the service and that was when I found out that I was stuck in a three-year contract.

    The system has been in place for three years. My contract canceled. I've had complaints in that time too. My bill kept going up, and when I called and asked them about it, they said that's just how that went. The initial discounts ran out. I said, “Well, I was told I was getting a veteran's discount. I didn't stop being a veteran.” They were like, “Well, we only do that for three months.”

    After they installed, I had to call a technician because two of my sensors didn't even work, and they had to replace the power pack. And that was when I asked about the other sensors. There was eight different window sensors that were supposed to be in the back bedrooms in my house, and they said they never existed. I never even had those sensors. I would have to pay $100 a piece to get those put back in even though the lady told me that it would be included with the install. There was supposed to be a break glass sensor in my bedroom, and that one wasn't in there either. I had to call the technician, though, because the back door sensor wasn't working. I had to pay $100 for the same technician to come out and change the battery in my back door sensor because nobody would help me on the phone walk through that process.

    After I watched him do it, I didn't pay to have another battery changed because that's ridiculous. The sensor kept messing up, though, and it kept going off. Whenever I would set my system, it would keep saying that my garage door was opening and my garage door was opening. And because of that, it would then call the police department. They're supposed to call me first. And when they called me, I told them specifically, “If it's just that sensor, once you pass my back door, the motion sensor would kick off also.” If it's just the door malfunctioning and the motion sensors not going off, I knew nobody was in my house. So, I told them not to call the police department.

    They kept calling the police department every time! That causes issues with the police answering an alarm at my house because I keep having false alarms at my house. Because there's so many false alarms, the city makes you pay extra when you have an alarm. It totally killed me. I called and complained about that. Customer service was rude to me every single time, and then I would lose my temper and had to get off the phone. The alarm people, even though they called the police, they did call very quickly when the alarm went off. So, the response time for them calling was great. The customer service, if you try to call in with a problem about your bill or the problem with your sensors, absolutely sucks.

    I would highly recommend ADT. I love the system and support I get. We don't live in a high crime area. But it's much more than that. It gives me the ability to know what's going on at my house even when I'm not there. I can watch on my phone. We travel and we have pets. We leave the pets at home and have a pet sitter come in and take care of them. I know when the pet sitter gets there, when she leaves, and how long she was there with them. We have glass breakage. If somebody were to break a window, I would know immediately. We have the sump pump alarm, so that watches the sump pump for me. I can look and see what windows and doors are open, when they were opened or closed, and how long they were open for.

    Sometimes, I would have an alarm go that it's a low battery, but I've already replaced the battery. I would call in and the help I've got with getting things reset has always been very helpful. Whenever they need to send a technician out, which is not often, it's very convenient. They schedule around my schedule so it would be early mornings, evenings, weekend, whatever. Two-thirds of the time, when they send a technician out, they didn't charge me.

    When I got the system installed, I had them also install a sump pump alarm on our sump pump. Our basement is finished. It's carpeted. It's a game room. It's beautiful. The power went out. The sump pump reached a higher level than it was supposed to. The alarm went off and notified me on my phone. We were not home at the time. We were up north with friends. I got a call from ADT. My sump pump alarm went off. We were an hour and a half away from home. My husband got in the truck, headed home, got home before it crested the sump pump. He was able to bail with a bucket and get a battery backup going to get the water pumped out and kept the basement from flooding. That has happened several times and always happened when we were not home.

    One time, we had called the neighbor because we were more than a couple of hours away. We were out of state. We were able to tell our neighbor what code to punch in to get into the house. He ran over there with the generator, got the sump pump going with the generator, and avoided damage that way. Otherwise, we would have come home from vacation to a flooded basement. That some pump alarm has saved my basement from flooding at least three times. If my basement had flooded, I would have $10,000 damage minimum. Chances are it wouldn't be covered by homeowner's insurance. That would be money out of my pocket. So, the $80 a month I pay ADT is worth every penny because it has saved me having to redo the basement three times.

    The first ADT tech that came was good. The guy that came and installed everything was good too. It was a late night, but he got everything on. He just needed to have a lot of knowledge on the product. Other than that, he was good. He did his thing. I had an issue reconnecting with the Wi-Fi because I had an issue with the router. I couldn't do it myself, so I had somebody come out. They got it. Something with the power wasn't working anymore. So, he did it a different way, which is cool as well. I’m starting not to be happy with the doorbells. The picture quality is not as clear. Also, I'm not able to zoom in too far out. Other than that, the panel is cool. And all the sensors are great.

    I've been with ADT for three years now and my experience has been average. Response time is not quick, but they do respond. They have a delay, though. For example, the front door alarm, I can come into the house and I notice that the front door has been opened anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes later. By the time that happens, I could come in, I could steal all the valuable electronics, have them loaded in the truck, and gone. Everything in the package works component-wise. The doorbell camera works, the camera to my driveway works, and the glass break alarm works. It's the overall system operation that doesn't meet my expectations.

They just lasted for two or one. But on Sunday night, we had the alarm go off because we had somebody in here with our heater. The fire truck was here before they called us. They never called me.

    I have not had service with ADT since July. We had a terrible storm on my street and I still didn’t have service once they put the electricity back on my street. In July, a technician came out and I paid 100 and some dollars. I bought a battery and whatever else. I paid for the system to work. It never did work. I talked to Rico a couple of weeks ago and he did more than anything. I have a hall panel and then inside there is also like something to do with ADT, and most of the time, that's green. It was red. So, he got me back to green there. He said, "I think I fixed everything except your camera," and that camera is on the porch. I would have to get on a ladder and I'm too old to be getting up on a ladder to take care of that camera. So, that was one problem.

    Rico was the best agent but I’m not satisfied with ADT. I ended up paying because I wanna have some security. I can’t even put my code in to set it. I would set the system at night and take it off in the morning. I would set it when I went out. Now, I can't set it. I'm still paying the bills and I'm not getting the service. One agent I spoke to said it would be $150 to have somebody come out, and I'm like, "That's ridiculous." What I've been doing is looking for another agency. But so far, I haven't found one that I consider that much better than what I already have.

    The service features in my ADT package are about as good as they can get considering that I'm not proactive about getting things taken care of. I have some things I need taken care of right now and I've needed them taken care of for quite some time, but I've been too busy to call ADT. And if they don't know about them, they can't fix them. So, I don't blame them. Overall, I think it's a good system. I don't have any complaints.

    There was another company out here a couple of weeks ago trying to sell me their system, which was expensive and I didn't see that they had anything better to offer me and they were gonna cost me a lot of money. So, I told them I was satisfied with ADT and that still remains true today. Although, I wish they'd offer me some additional cameras for free. I'd pay for the installation. But I'm sure they're done giving out free equipment.

    When I was getting my system installed, ADT promised me the world and the perfect solution. We were gonna get motion sensors put in the house, and we've got cats, and the rep said, “Oh, yeah. No problem.” But if anything moves above a certain level on the floor, it sets it off, so that was a waste of money. So, he just told us what we wanted to hear, and that was it. There was really no comeback on it. The equipment is troublesome. We've had multiple sensor failures and battery issues. ADT was responsive saying they would come out and fix the issues. It’s just the inconvenience.

    My dissatisfaction started with the loss of a certain cell service. We were gonna lose the ability for the cell service to report if there was an issue if the internet has gone down. So, they said, “Well, you gotta upgrade.” They wanted over $1,000 to upgrade because we have to replace the equipment, which then I brought up the fact that I've read the contract, and in the contract, the equipment is theirs. So my comeback to that was, “It's your equipment. You need to upgrade it.” They said, “Well, that's not the way we interpret it. You've got to purchase new equipment.”

    We went through this twice. We had two service guys come to install the new equipment. Luckily, the service guy said, “Well, you really don't need to do it because it doesn't affect your alarm. It just affects if you lose power.” The disappointing fact is that somebody probably less observant would have paid $1,100 to upgrade equipment that they really didn't need. Also, when the first guy came out, he said, “Oh, you’ve had old equipment installed.” I said, “Well, it's only two years old.” He said, “Yeah, that’s discontinued, all that stuff.” We would never go with ADT and I would never recommend anybody to go with ADT based on that business practice.

    The ADT rep I worked with over the phone was fine. The installation was good too. They gave me an upgrade, the only thing I like about it. However, I was forced to get an upgrade because we were going to 5G. I could have told them no, but I wanted security for my home. So, I had to pay the extra money to do that. I also could have kept my own system, but they said if something happened, then they might not be able to respond as quickly. But they switched it up from the system I had and upgraded to the 5G thing that they had going on. In the beginning, a lot of times, I was having problems with my bills. I let them do automatic withdrawals, and it was messing that up a little bit. I had to call them back a lot once in a while. But now, everything's working out fine. They got everything straightened out.

    The last time I tried to get an update and upgrade, it took a lot of discussing with people about the upgrade and why it was in their best interest to keep their system up-to-date versus keeping a system that's 27 years old at this point. But now it's been at least 10 years and I know there's more modern technology out there because I've been looking at it. It also seems like every month they're going up in cost, which I agree that the cost goes up. But the reality is, it can't be a monthly index that they keep going up.

    I've had ADT for almost 20 years and until the most recent round of changes, I've never had a problem with them. This new system that they have with Wi-Fi and different sensors and connections has been a problem. I've had times where it doesn't work and they've had to come back. I've had at least four visits since the installation. I have a big house and the way the panel works, it connects sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't. It's been at least four half days that I've had to cancel appointments. The technicians have been excellent. They come and do what's necessary but then it's not working again. For the last episode, apparently, there was a power surge, and one of the repeaters burned out. That was fixed.

    I have two panels, one on the first floor and one on the third floor. The third floor panel was not powerful enough to always get the signal. Lately, it seems to be getting the signal, but I don't always use it so I don't know for sure. I'm trying to keep track of whether the panel is working or anything goes on that shouldn't, and so far, it seems to be okay.

    ADT charged me a lot of money for sensors and to have it reconnected. It was almost $2,000 that I spent on that. But from the beginning of the reinstallation, I've had weeks at a time that I've gone without service. Several times, I've called thinking that it could be resolved over the phone, but it can't. There should be some length of time where I get no charge to compensate for that. I also paid for new sensors. I have a few that are still old and I was told if I get more new ones, it's $50 a piece. Everything is another charge.

    We've had ADT for a long time. Their customer service needs better communication. They need more information given to the customers instead of keeping the stuff secret, and to back up the stuff they sell customers. My current system’s working good as long as I maintain it. There is no use having them come out. This summer, we went on a long trip. I asked them to come out and change all the batteries in the sensors. The customer service person said they don't do that kind of stuff. So, we got out 3,000 miles away and our batteries went bad on our sensors. So, that's poor customer service. It should be the customer's decision whether to pay them to come out or not. It shouldn't ever be the customer service people telling the customers, “We don't do that because it isn't on the schedule.” If they don't want to support that kind of stuff, then they should pull it off the market.

    ADT doesn't support stuff that they put in customers’ homes again. We had a camera system put in less than 10 years ago. We called them out to expand the system. We found out they have changed the companies they deal with. What I was told was these cameras weren't in existence anymore. In fact, the system wasn't. I got online and it sure is in the system, but they don't handle them anymore. So in that case, what the salesperson wanted me to do is spend $10,000 to upgrade the system. We’re on limited income, and we can't do that. They were trying to force a person to do the upgrade when the camera is working good. All I wanna do is put cameras out, so I went out and bought Ring cameras, which is working great for us. So, ADT lost the customer right there.

    Shortly after my house was burglarized, I checked with the two big security players in the game at the time and went with ADT for the less pricing. The system is working fine. If the alarm trips by itself, I get a phone call and they ask me my password. One time, they didn't call back. I was making a repair and didn't know I had to notify. I called, a little irritated, and asked them why wasn't I notified. I was paying, at that time, $80 a month. But that was only one time in 25 years so I can't complain about that.

    It's not a hardwired system. It's a transmission system where all the sensors are battery-operated. I was talking to the technician at the time about the Wi-Fi system but he told me to keep the system that I got. It's the old landline system, and it's very dependable. I had to have a couple sensors and a keypad replaced. But I've been with them since 1999 so replacing two sensors and a keypad isn't major. It's like a car. You gotta replace the tires every five years. With the ADT system, every five years, it seems I gotta replace the battery, which is only $21.

    My overall bill is almost 95 bucks a month for ADT, which I'm okay with it because it's security. I have the monthly service maintenance which they charge $19 a month for in the event you need repairs. When the guy had to replace the two sensors, he cut me a break. I did not have the warranty at that time, and he told me it was $60 for the first 20 minutes. I told him I wanted to get the monthly extended warranty and he didn't charge me for that.

    I had issues with ADT at the beginning. Things fell off the walls and alarms went off because of improper installation. But it seems to have settled down now. The service is too expensive though. I paid $170 for three months for them to just monitor. They have hundreds of thousands of people that they monitor. Their prices are excessive for somebody that's retired. I was gonna cancel four years ago but some rep came out and told me they'd cut me a deal. But still, every year or two, it goes up. I'd tell others to go to SimpliSafe. It's a lot cheaper.

    Customer service side for if the alarm went off is good. In the very beginning, if I called to let ADT know I would go out of town and be unreachable by phone, they were responsive on that when I called customer service to allow them to know that. It's the technical parts and late parts that I have an issue with. Besides the person who installed the system, I still have problems with the service. ADT gave me a good example of what to do because of changing a battery. I changed the battery. I still have the issue. I haven't called back to get them out here because they would have to come and they said that they would charge me to come to fix a service that I pay $80 a month for. I'm not happy about that since I pay money for the service itself. I'm not a big fan of ADT.

    The system is outdated because it has been seven years. I probably need to have them upgraded, but ADT doesn't reach out to say, "We've reevaluated your system. Would you like me to send out a customer service and let's talk about maybe upgrades or doing something else? The systems have changed, and so maybe we shouldn't be charging you as much money, because we're charging those people now that amount for the Ring.” I don't have any of those services.

    I had ADT years ago and I decided to go back to it when I knew that I needed it because of a large amount of homeless people in our neighborhood and a large number of porch pirates. I went back to them and added a doorbell camera and a door lock that I could unlock or activate from away from home so that I could see anybody coming on my porch if I was away from home because my family all lives up in Georgia. Overall, I'm satisfied until I have trouble. When I have trouble, I'm very dissatisfied.

    A couple of days ago, the same thing happened. I've had this kind of trouble four times. One time, they tried to charge me to send a technician out here. I'm in my 80s and I'm disabled and I live alone and they know that. That's part of my profile with them. He came and instead of replacing the camera, which was what the order was for because, apparently, the camera was bad, and he did not replace the camera. He said, "I adjusted your problem." After he left, he had changed the background, the area that I cover.

    So, I called ADT and I said, "Your technician did not change out the camera. So, what's the problem?" I still have a problem with that camera, but he changed my background. When he suggested it before he did it, I said, "No, I want it left exactly like it is." I live on a corner house with a side street that's very active. We have a lot of homeless people roaming up and down our streets. I used to be a computer designer. So, I've reset my background. That camera is still not working.

    So, that was the beginning of trouble about five months ago. Then twice since, before, a couple of days ago, it was the same thing. In a conversation that I had with one of the reps, I said, "So, you guys are determining how much I had the right area to cover. That camera and my system is set up for me to choose the background I want, not for you to set it the way you want it." She said, "Well, you do realize you only have X number of bytes." I said, "So, how much has been used?" It was less than half of it that time. Another time, they tried to charge me $85 for that technician that came out that changed my background, which made me really unhappy, and I went, "There ain't no way I'm paying that $85 because he was supposed to come and check on whether the camera needed to be replaced or not."

    This latest time, the other night, the young lady told me I did not have adequate storage area, so I needed to start deleting some of my saved clips. And I said, "I don't have any problem with that, but I'm gonna ask you again to reboot my system." She did finally honor my wish, which was my original call of 30 some minutes before that and rebooted. Right away, I had my camera working again but I had gone from 3:48 in the afternoon to 9 o'clock in the evening with my front patio camera recording nothing. So, I'm not happy with the service that they provide when there's problems with the cameras.

    I used another security system and I had a bad experience with them. I moved up here to Lawrenceville, Georgia and all of my neighbors had ADT signs. I thought they must be doing a pretty good job, so I took a chance with them. Their guy went through the installation with m and he explained to me why he was putting everything where he was, especially the cameras outside. We talked about that quite a bit because I live very close to my neighbors, but I still wanted a full view of my backyard and he went the extra mile.

    ADT has been really good. But I don't live in a high-crime area. It's an area that's very close to two major interstates. People get off and we've not had any crime in our neighborhood, though I think it's because we all have security systems. ADT has been very responsive, too. I always get notifications on my watch and on my phone. One time, there was a notification and when I tried to bring up the camera, it wouldn't come up. That was when I knew that something wasn't right. I found that the camera on my doorbell quit and they said it shouldn't have quit that soon. They then replace it for me. They sent the replacement out to me and got the guy to walk me through how to change it out. Also, I have set off the alarm accidentally twice and they called immediately.

    The equipment stays in good order and other than that doorbell giving out, I've never had any trouble. I've been with them for four years. The equipment is easy to use, which was why I begged my father to get it, and I've been really happy with ADT. I don't check the system every time, but if I'm out of town and my doorbell camera notifies me at 10:30 at night, that lets me know that I better check my camera. I travel quite a bit, so it's very helpful to be able to just tap on it. I have the facial recognition, so I don't even have to key in anything. Plus, the price I pay for the service is a minimum amount of money. I've had security systems for a good 20 years and ADT is as good everywhere else as it is here. But because I have lived in several areas, I found that the type of service you get really depends on that location. I've heard in other communities that ADT didn't measure up but ADT does much better overall than the one that I was with.

    It's a wonderful system. I love the keypad because I can function my alarm system on my phone. You can turn your alarm on when you're not at home from your phone. You can also turn it off before you get to your house. There's a button you can push if you make a mistake and disarm it, and you realize you're in trouble. ADT monitors every window, every door, and motion. And your animal can be in there and it doesn't set your alarm off.

    The interaction was positive up until the day of installation. Then my mood on ADT changed quite a bit but I was already locked in at that point. The sales rep went over a few different packages with me. We decided on one, which was a basic package, a couple cameras, the monitor, and a keypad for the front door that was all set up in the system. When the installation person came, he was about two hours late to a pretty late appointment as it was. He took about an hour to go through everything. I didn't realize he was also a salesperson who didn't come to install what I had bought. He came to say all the things that we should get and need to have in this house. He put on a pretty big guilt trip on why me not doing those things would be detrimental to my young daughter and family.

    I was sitting in my kitchen with this guy at 9:00 p.m., and he still hadn't even installed anything. Then my wife came in and he pitched it to her. I’d already told him I just wanted get what we ordered, but my wife was more inclined to agree with the guilt trip. It was gonna cost us, instead of 60 bucks a month, six grand, so it was a big difference. She and I disagreed and I asked the rep if we could decide on it another day. He said, “Yes. You can do that. But I'm here. These are all promotional items because of the package you want installed and there are certain credits points. If you wanna think about it, it's gonna be more expensive ‘cause you wouldn't get these promotions."

    In the end, we got it and he finished his install. He was a nice guy, but I was not happy with the way it went down. The next day, I called the sales rep who told me that she did inform me that he would be doing that and escalated it to her manager. I had multiple calls with this manager because she didn't know the situation. I had to explain it. She went back and reviewed the call. She said, "We're gonna use this as a training moment for her. Sorry you had that experience. But she's new." That didn't sit well with me.

    A couple days later, I called back and said, “Why don't I just cancel this whole thing? I live in a safe neighborhood. I don't think I need all this stuff on my windows.” They also installed fire detectors and smoke alarms. But they said when I signed the contract that night, it said specifically in the contract that I had three days to cancel. Meanwhile, I didn't get a copy of the contract. I don't even turn the system on at night. I use what I intended to buy originally. We have everything else set up, but we're not utilizing it to its maximum potential.

    The alarm went off 3 times. One was a malfunctioning system, and the whole fire department came to my house. Another one was my mistake. I was trying to test something out, but I turned it on. ADT called me and asked if they should send somebody out. I told them that was a false alarm and to please not send anybody out. They did it last time, and the fire department showed up five minutes later that time too. I feel bad when these guys have to come out for no reason and waste their time and resource. On another note, I also called ADT because they said there was a $200 incentive for me to buy the package. The rep processed that but certainly not proactively.

    The reps at ADT have been professional. But when they came to install the sensors, they only installed on the doors. If a window was broken or forced open, there's nothing to alert anyone about that. Also, now that I've had ADT for a few years, something could be better. They have it where the system can be linked to a video system. But ADT only works with their own proprietary system which is linked to Google and I'm not a fan of Google.

    I went with a system that allowed me to house all my information in-house. But when I called ADT to see if I could link the system up, they can't do anything because it's not a system they work with. I have the CO and fire monitors in the house and all of them have the Bluetooth emblem to it. I called ADT to see if I could connect it somehow to the system but that's not available either. I have a 91-year old mother who has dementia. If there's a CO leak somewhere in the house, I would like to be called so I could run home and check it out.

    Everything works fine with ADT. I ain't got to deal with a lot of wires and equipment. The price is 27 a month which is good. I had them put my cameras in my house and everything was fine except for when we changed phone numbers that we had our cameras connected to our phones. We could never get that back on our phone. We have been trying to get in touch with the representative that put the cameras so he can come back and put the cameras back on our phone. But we are unable to contact anybody to do it. I had a technician come out here from AT&T, and I had to spend money for him to come out and see.

    It's been a couple of times my alarm went off but I didn't get a call from ADT. I wasn't happy when they didn't call me even though I was the one that entered my house. It could have been somebody else. I called them and asked why they didn't call me when I had a false alarm, but they didn't give a good reason. If I'm paying them $37 every month but they can't call me, then what am I paying you for? I also hope they don't go up on my bill because I have patronized them for 14 years. I normally go with the company that might be cheaper and at the same time, if something should happen, they will still contact me even if it's a false alarm.

    ADT is horrible. They sold me a product that they don't even support. The ADT technician who came out after they installed it originally stated, “They never should have sold you anything because your internet is not strong enough to even handle the system.” Instead of canceling out my account without charging me thousands of dollars, ADT would only give me a credit, but my products can't even be used. I've been waiting for my contract to end. I'm still paying 20 bucks a month for something after three years of contract that I can't use. I'm paying for an alarm panel, for the doors to alarm when they open. I have three cameras that are Ring cameras, but at the time that I purchased this product, ADT does not support Ring. They were no longer in an agreement with Ring. None of my cameras work because my internet signal is not strong enough. ADT's app doesn't even show me when batteries are low. Nothing updates.

    If they forget to give me my credit for a month, I call back. You can get ahold of somebody, but you gotta go through the whole story again. It's like they have no notes. Eventually, when they find the notes, they say they'll give you credit. But that credit never happens, so then you gotta call them back. I recommended ADT to my daughter. She got the system and her program was wonderful, but she moved out of state. She was selling her house but they still would not let her out of her contract without charging her thousands of dollars to finish out her contract, and they would not move the equipment for her.

    I had to put in new equipment because this house had another alarm system that wasn't working. The rep explained it and we went through the process of starting an account. We had to have a checking account and I gave him that information. Then the guys came in and put a brand-new panel on the wall and rewired the house. They also put those cameras in the ceiling and sensors around the doors. I also have the feature where if you come to my house and hit the doorbell, I can talk through my phone.

    Everything's been working fine and I'd definitely recommend ADT. When I go away, I put my code in. If I'm on my phone, I can see if anybody is up in my front door. I'm in Charlotte and even if I go to Maryland where my family is, I can look on my phone and make sure everything is okay. You can't be home every single day and if you're out, it's good to be able to look and see if anybody is at your door, or if they are at your door, you can talk to them through your phone. One time, I had an issue with my doorbell. It wasn't ringing. We had to call the tech office and they told us we have to take it out and recharge the battery. We got that cleared up.

    I've had problems with ADT in the last couple of years. I had one window sensor that constantly went haywire. They kept telling me they'd just reset it and it would work. Finally, it's gone out. Also, my system completely shut down on me last summer for four days when I had work done when I told them the power was gonna be off. They said the battery would work, but it didn't.

    The guy that I talked to this week, Jason, was very nice. But there are a lot of incompetent people answering the phone. One of them had me dismantle the whole box. Then one of the techs got on the phone and told me I didn't need to do it. They don't know what they're doing. My system is almost 12 years old and they were telling me, "It should look like this picture." But it doesn't because I have an older system.

    Doing everything on the phone with them is really hard and I don't know if I'd ever recommend them for anybody. The whole thing is a joke. They wired in some of these wires and zip tied them together. They were telling me I might have to cut the zip ties. But you can't even see them. They're so tight to the wires. How am I supposed to get under them to cut the zip ties off? That's a little dangerous because I'm gonna be cutting the wiring in this box if I have to cut them. I'm 73 years old and I have vision problems. I'm supposed to be able to read these things inside this little box. I told them I would drop the system and go to something else. The rep was telling me to try fixing it another way. It was like she didn't even listen to me.

    There's nobody even in town here that can do work. They have to bring them out of town to do work. I know COVID changed a lot of things. But there still should be customer service when they've got older people that can't see this system to work on this system. I'm gonna sell this house and the system will be shut down. The other people probably pick a different kind of alarm system, and I will too.

    I'm not happy with ADT at all. Recently, the control panel that's inside the house, I can't talk to anybody outside the house with the doorbell. The technician found out they're too close to the door. Another thing is that the video is only about two seconds. I need a video as long as someone’s at the door, and there's no way to adjust that. Sometimes, it’s not hooked up to it as well. The light is supposed to come on as soon as somebody steps on the porch, and it doesn't.

    I've not talked to anybody from ADT since they’ve been there and I got an email survey. The customer service is nonexistent, and the person that came wasn't very good at what he did. I need to somehow get the motion detector attached. It was not hooked up. If I need to buy a box of services from their company, it's way too expensive. For example, I can get a door lock online for 20 bucks and they charge me over 200 for that.

We've had people that wanna hunt out here and we keep them at these two main entrance coming into the property and end up by the house. But the signs are plastic now and it doesn't take a lot of sun and wind to destroy. They used to last for six years. But now, if you can get a year or two out of them, you're lucky. We had a bad windstorm here about a month ago and it broke two of them out of the three that we had. I've used the last one and we may not be able to get any more signs because we've already had our quota for this year.

    If I'm calling ADT and ordering something, they're great. But if I call back, they don't tell me everything. It's a lost communication between customer service and the techs. There was a miscommunication on what I was supposed to be charged. I was charged extra from what I was told. I thought we had a clear understanding with the rep when I talked to her but the price ended up being $100 more because we had to pay for the technician fee. But when I talked to the rep, the technician fee was included in because I had gotten a discount for a birthday thing. They applied that to the new door lock put in. When I called ADT to ask them about that, they gave me the runaround and told me it is what it is. I let it slide because I didn't have the energy to fight, but I wasn't pleased with that.

    I have access to my cameras on my phone, but half the time, that access isn't working. I have to reset and clear out the app more than three times. Then it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have to pull it up on my computer. I can pull up on my computer and look at my cameras, and they work fine. But if I try to do it on my phone, it says that something's wrong. It's a problem reconnecting.

    The ADT system does its job for the most part. We feel a sense of protection. But the cameras don't capture everything. I've had our home broken into twice since we've had the system. The first time, they kicked in the back door and were able to get a few things before the police got there. Then that was when I had the cameras installed. I had one camera outside and one camera inside. The second time that they did it, they didn't get in the camera view and the alarm had stopped. They came through a window and once the sensor recognized that it was motion, the alarm went off and it scared them out. We have not had any break-ins since then.

    The call into ADT was pretty straightforward. I'm not necessarily really well-versed in the world of security and all that kind of stuff. I've done stuff online. I also did my own research. But the reason I went with them initially was because where I live, there needs to be a call out to what they call the central office in case there's a fire so that the authorities can get here as opposed to me just having some other solution. So, my interaction with the customer service side of it was good.

    The installation guy was friendly and knowledgeable. He was good. He did the work. He gave me the walkthrough and then he was on his way. So, it was good. The technology that they use to monitor things on the surface is fine, but then trying to reset or change something, the user experience is not really great. You have to dig into their support notes or call and wait for a long time for a human to answer. Also, ADT is expensive from a month-to-month perspective. I've never actually needed to test it but I'm glad I haven't. So, they've been reliable. But if there was a less expensive option that could provide me similar results, I would more than likely research it and potentially make a move.

    I switched over to ADT ‘cause I wasn't happy with my previous monitoring service, and I've had them for 4 years now. I like the dashboard. When the cameras are working the way they should, I can go back and see the activity that's been occurring. Everyone has been very pleasant on the phone as well. However, I feel cheated. ADT is costly compared to what I was paying with the other service and I thought I was getting something better.

    I signed up for their Wi-Fi cameras. I'm on a financing plan with them, and I'm still paying for them. But they're not the best because the cameras turn on and turn off. I could see someone pull in but I don't see them leave. I was disappointed with that. The monitoring is a bit expensive as well. When I first signed up with them, a gentleman came in and he started negatively speaking about the options I chose. I asked him to leave because I felt very uncomfortable. It was almost like someone selling you a car then after you buy the car and go pick it up, they tell you all the negative things that this car has. I called ADT and threatened to cancel. They apologized and rescheduled.

    Now, I look back on it, and I feel bad because he was right. It was not the service that they claimed to be. When the installer came, he was drilling holes everywhere. Holes were drilled and plugs were used, and now I don't have access to those plugs because they hardwired some devices. The sales rep that came out was very nice and informative. He gave me a lot of bells and whistles. I thought I was gonna get a monitoring screen but when it came down to it, I didn't. Another thing that I am too crazy about is there are Wi-Fi extenders. The extenders have had to be replaced a few times.

    I'm sick of ADT. I pay them a lot of money and I'm not getting service. A month and a half of my back door sensor has not worked. I took a survey and left all this information on the survey. Still, no phone call. I even wonder if they even monitor their system. I called them a month and a half ago because I've had a door sensor out. They set up an appointment. The day of the appointment, they called to cancel. They never reached out to me. They never tried to fix the situation. They said their system was down, and it would be my responsibility to make another appointment. They didn't wanna come to my house. They wanted to do it over the phone. I don't like that. I'm 63 years old. I don't wanna play with my system that is supposed to be working.

    When ADT calls me, they would say I've been a loyal customer for five years. I've been a loyal customer for over 10 years because I had it in my previous home. When they first started, if I called them, they would have somebody out immediately. They took care of the service. Now, they wanna do everything on the phone. They want me to climb up on ladders, take the batteries out and check them.

    ADT is a great service. I would recommend people. When the cameras work, they show nicely. The alerts are nice when everything works correctly. Also, the pricing is affordable. ADT just has some internal things that need to be worked out. My mom used to be a customer of ADT years ago when I was younger, and when I bought my home, I said I wanted to have them. The installation when I first had it, was nice. But for the past almost two years, we haven't had access to our front doorbell camera or back camera. It doesn't work. I wish ADT could update some things. Not the cameras, because they work beautifully, but the main box in the home.

    Every time that I speak to customer service, everyone is always pleasant. Being in the customer service around myself and hearing words like "unfortunately" is agitating. Two years ago, we contacted them and they tried to troubleshoot it. That didn't work. They sent someone out but it never worked. We tried to get someone out here to go to the backyard, but that never happened, and they tried to tell us, “You can just troubleshoot this way.” They would troubleshoot us, and would say, “You gotta go to this other department for the troubleshooting and they'll walk you through it.” My husband and I gave up on it.

    On the initial setup, we assumed that they would hook it up to our doorbell. They said, “We don't do that.” So, we have this ADT system doorbell that is not hooked up to our doorbell line. If people pressed the button, we wouldn't know no one was outside. What was the point of me getting a doorbell thing? I could have just got a camera out here and called it a day. Do not have your card saved on file. ADT would charge you even when you told them not to. They would not give the money back. I got a new debit card, and it was still pulled from my bank. How they do that, I don't know.

    In 2020, I signed a contract with ADT but did not realize that I was signing off a five-year contract. But that was for the entire house, which was very useful considering the fact that I have a family. I experienced the service for eight months, and it was really good. The family felt safe. I was able to go away and come back and everything was fine. I had cameras as well.

    But right after COVID, I ended up divorced and I no longer live in that property. My ex-wife got rid of all the ADT cameras so I've been paying ADT for over four years with no service because of the wording that they have in their contract. I tried to call managers at ADT, but they refused to allow me to get out of the contract. I tried to do that within the last four years multiple times, but I kept getting denied. They should have at least given me the benefit of the doubt to get out of the contract. ADT has a very good system for a good price, but I will not recommend them because of the way their contract is worded. I'm finally gonna stop paying them in February 2025.

    I have ADT in my main residence then I added them in my second home. It's been good with them until my recent addition. Then it was horrible. The appointment installation time was 1:00, then it got moved to 3:00 then to 5:00. The installer finally showed up at seven o'clock at night. But he communicated with us and we told him that was alright because we needed it to be installed at that particular day. I appreciated the communication and he did a good job setting it up. But he did not have all the parts that were on our order, and that was what led to this separate order that has created a disaster.

    They have a billing error, and they had a terrible time understanding how to correct it. I spent 20 hours on the phone with them trying to resolve it but got 20 hours’ worth of runaround where nobody could help. Everybody I spoke to told me it as not their department and they couldn't fix it. I asked them where were the credits for all the charges that they've been charging me. They said, “You're not getting any more credits. We already did what we thought was right,” which I don't agree with because the charges were a certain dollar value, and the credit is not the same dollar value.

    They posted the one credit on my account rather than reimbursing my credit card. I asked them, “Who authorized you to do that? I didn't ask you to put the money on account.” They said that that's what they always do. I told them I wanted it on my credit card and I wanted them to reverse it back because I wanted see the same dollar amount that went out to come back in, but they couldn't comprehend that. It's still not corrected to my satisfaction. They're still currently charging me, and I have to call them again to try to get that money back now. ADT is terrible now. I told them the next step is gonna be for me to take them to small claims court if they cannot figure this out.

    ADT helps me with the price. If it's too high, they'll work with me. They'll look for a plan that will help or lower it for 12 months. I've been with them for 10 years and the reps are very nice. They are very willing to work with me to keep me. They always answer the call. We haven't had a false alarm at our new house, but at the other one, it went off all the time. We lived next to a train track. At 2:00 in the morning, it would go off on emergency. I'd say I did not push the button and I was asleep, but they always insisted on the policeman coming out and walking around the house. We were pleased with that. Where we lived, it was nice to have that there.

    I have a fire alarm as well. A man very nice came out and replaced the batteries for me. I couldn't get one back up and he placed them back up there. He went above what he was supposed to do. Any time I've had him at the house or on the phone, I've been very well pleased. When the power goes off for a long time, I've learned how to get the system back on when the power comes back. I thought it had a battery, but sometimes, it will continually blink until I fix it.

    I'm not that happy with ADT. They put a doorbell on that's the quietest doorbell. You can be standing next to it and you don't hear it. I was used to a different security system where I got notifications on my phone every minute. And I don't get any notifications with ADT. There's no link to the camera so I can see what's going on. I just don't like it. My other system tells you when anybody is anywhere near a camera and then you look and it's got the videos right there for you to see. This system is not like that. ADT doesn't even tell us. It's like we don't even have it. I've contacted them once and they told me to call some other company that takes care of their problems, which didn't make any sense to me.

    In all the years that I've had ADT, I never had any issues. But within the last year, I had a negative experience, which surprised me because I've been a loyal customer for 30 years at least with all the companies before it was ADT. I have a security system that ADT installed and monitor. A few months ago, I had a problem with one of the sensors. I am a little disappointed and I'm still in limbo with that problem.

    One of the sensors which happens to be a basement window sensor was malfunctioning. It gave me the alert that it was not functioning. I tried to fix it but I'm not very good with technology so I called ADT. After a great deal of runaround, I got someone that I could barely understand. They were less than helpful because they try to get me to fix it myself. I told the rep that I would like to have a technician come out and take a look because I live alone, I'm gone most of the day and I need security. She told me she'd have a technician call me.

    I had to call a technician and the technician called back a few hours later, trying to fix the problem remotely. I said, “I've gone through this runaround. I need someone to come and fix it because if I could fix it myself, I won't be calling you.” He said, “If you want someone to come out, there's a charge for it.” I was a little disappointed to hear that. I pay 60 bucks every month, and I've been paying for years. The rates have been going up, but I've never had any issues where they had to spend money on me beyond that. But they could not send someone and that'd be included part of the service.

    Finally, they scheduled something, and the guy gave me a four-hour window. I had to take half a day to wait for him to come here. He came finally and looked at it. He told me it was the batteries and that he fixed it. The very next day, the control panel showed that the same sensor was malfunctioning so it wasn't the battery. I called back again, trying to get some help, and I got the runaround. Finally, I just gave up. It’s taking far too much time. I'm very disappointed with the service, including the customer service. ADT is not providing the service that I'm paying them to provide. Right now, I don't have a fully armed house and I'm constantly worrying about my security.

When the technicians come out, they're very professional. The system works very well and it covers all my doors. When the door is open or something's going on, it'll talk to me.

    ADT's customer service is great. I just had this one problem that happened two times. It happened this year back in September, and it also happened several years ago. I spoke with a customer service rep, and they wanted a payment. I'm behind because I had been sick. I told them, “Sir, I'm gonna call you back the day that I get paid. Right now I'm trying to pay my mortgage and my utility bills.” He kept on saying how much the amount was due, and they went in my account and took my money, and my mortgage was short. I told them, “From now on, do not do that. Please don't do that. And that's the second time this has happened."

    I told them what date I was getting paid. I said, “But I would have to call you back because I will only have my mortgage. If I have anything else, I will call you back on that day and make some arrangements for that payment.” They went in and took the money anyway. When it happened some years ago, I don't know how they went in there and took it, but this time, they took it anyway. I told them I would be trying to pay my mortgage. That threw me behind. If I don't have a house to protect, there's no need for me to have ADT. They have been patient for years, but this particular person set up some way and went into my account, and it threw a lot of things off because when you're $30 short and something has went through, that is a lot of money when you don't have money. And if your checking account bounced, you're in trouble.

    As far as the system, it's good. The display has that orange triangle on it. We never could figure that out. We troubleshooted it. I talked to someone over the phone, and it's been on there a month now. I don't know what I could do about that. Also, the back of my little key chain keeps falling out. Over the years, the product will wear and tear like anything but it is okay. ADT's price is good. I can afford it when I could afford it, but it's still not outrageous.

    We had an ADT system in a previous home before we moved to this one. The setup was fine. Once we agreed to all the details, they sent their technicians out and they knew what to do. They took care of everything. Previously, they offered us the right package but now that we've been with them for a couple of years, and I wanna make adjustments, the customer service has not been helpful with that.

    An alarm went off and ADT took some time. Thankfully, they were false alarms. We were out of town for the weekend and we had our in-laws watching the home and they accidentally set off the alarm. It must have been going off for a couple of minutes before they gave us a call and said, "Hey, can you turn it off?" To my knowledge, nobody ever showed up or called for that alarm. So, that was worrisome. That was a concern that I had called them about.

    We had it at our first time and we loved it. It was great. The couple of times that it went off, we had law enforcement and ADT had called us but this second time around, we're not having the greatest experience. It's still serving its purpose, but trying to get support for after installation when we have issues hasn't been great. Monitoring the home is very convenient through the app. We also have cameras through the app and we're having issues with them. They don't work a lot of times and customer service refuses to help resolve an issue.

Probably, it's good to just monitor yourself with Blink or others, which gives a better price and what I want. ADT’s price is quite high compared to other places. I was just about to call them and see what the cancellation policy is. I'm screwed for a certain period to cancel. I'm not happy at all and I'm not liking it.

    I cannot begin to express how frustrating and disappointing my experience with ADT Security has been. I’ve wasted hours on the phone with customer service and had to deal with nothing but delays, poor communication, and a complete lack of professionalism. First, ADT insisted on a video call to troubleshoot an issue with my alarm system, despite my repeated requests for a technician to come to the property directly. The video call was completely unnecessary and a waste of time.

    Next, my initial appointment was completely missed. I called customer service, and they admitted they didn’t even schedule it properly. When I followed up to reschedule, I was quoted $100 to fix the issue, only to find out later that the price had mysteriously jumped to over $200 because “someone forgot to schedule the service.” What a complete lack of organization.

    Finally, when a technician did arrive, he didn’t even have the correct parts needed to fix the alarm. To make matters worse, it was evident that he didn’t want to be there and seemed completely disinterested in helping. After that, I had to call customer service again to sort things out and waste even more time. Months later and my security system still isn’t working properly. This experience was nothing short of a nightmare. The constant delays, poor communication, and unprofessional behavior from both customer service and technicians have made me completely lose confidence in ADT. I would not recommend them to anyone for their security needs. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere.

    My worst nightmare purchasing the system. ADT is a complete scam. I purchased my home and they came in to convince me I need this. They about the installation date. The installation was poorly done so someone else had to come behind the 1st tech. On 11/09/24 a gun was placed at my head and my cameras were not even rolling. My doorbell camera hasn't worked in over a year. This company is a complete scam. I have had the worst experience speaking with these customer service reps. It's been a total nightmare.

I'm safe, and for that, I feel comfortable with it. It's just I wish there were more offers out there like there are in Chicago. Where I live at in Nevada, the offers are not as much, like the doorbell. I'm also on a five-year contract, and I have never been on a five-year contract in my life. That was just too much. There are some things that I would’ve liked to add, but I gotta get out of this five-year contract. I don't like being on it.

    The quality of the system features are really nice. I like them too, but I'm so limited. I miss so much of the service that I have utilized in the past with ADT as far as the cameras and the doorbell cameras. I had cameras outside of my home, but here, none of those services has been offered to me. I love ADT’s service, but I feel like I'm in the prehistoric days.

    We've been with ADT since we purchased our home. There was a sticker already inside the home from the previous owner, so we just went with that. It was easy to reach a sales rep and currently, I'm pleased with what we have. However, the unit has been in there since we had the house 13 years ago and it may not be adaptable to operate by phone, but if that's a feature I could have, that would be good since we do travel. It would also be great if ADT could offer their long-time customers who are getting into their senior years some type of incentive or discount knowing that their income has changed, rather than them having to do the leg work. I'm a senior citizen now and I'm on Social Security.

    When I first got with ADT, paying what the prices are, it's what it was and I never thought about being older and being on limited income. I worked with a representative, and eventually, they lowered the pricing because I would have to look for someone else. I’m appreciative that they did it. It’s just I had to initiate that conversation and then told them my side of, “Hey, I appreciate being a long time customer, but I'm having the same conversation with alternative vendors who are willing to at least give me something, given my situation.” Other than that, the reps were very professional and helpful.

    I had ADT at the other house that we were at, then I moved and there was a Brinks system already in the house. I put ADT in, and it was good. I've had it for about 15 years and I like that I can just turn on the security and someone's doing the monitoring. However, I'm not happy about the billing. They keep changing it and it's infuriating me. The price used to be 19.99, then that went up to 31.99. I asked, "Can I just cancel?" The rep said, "No." I didn't realize I'm in a contract for two years and it would cost me $700 to cancel. I don't use the system that much. That's why the 19.99 was doable. Other than that, the system is better than the other ones I have. I have two other cameras outside that aren't ADT.

The installer showed up within the week, put it all together, and we were done. It was simple. The installer asked me where I wanted things, did the check, and went from there. It was straightforward and the system works fine. I like the fact that I can enable it from home. It's connected to the Wi-Fi so I can see what's going on.

    It's easy enough to either arm or disarm the ADT system, whether we're home or going away. We appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing we have an alarm on our home if we're away. I also have the app, so I can arm or disarm it on my phone, which is handy, and I like it. However, our alarm has gone off a couple of times. It was a false alarm, but we didn't get a phone call checking on the situation and there was no police response as well. On the doorbell, sometimes it seems to pick up people, other times it does not. It also seems to take a long time for video clips to show up after there's been somebody at our front door.

    Another thing is our monthly bill was climbing every year to the point where it was almost double what we started paying. We have friends who live nearby who have the same system and they were paying about half of what we were paying. I called ADT to try and get the same deal and they said, "We don't know what program your friend has, so we can't compare it." But we knew we have identical equipment and about the same number of windows and doors being protected in the same neighborhood. We shouldn't have to pay two times what they're paying for the same service. After several minutes of haggling, we got the bill reduced by about half.

    I have two panels and the batteries are low in both of them. I called ADT. They won't send nobody out to change the batteries. They told me to order new batteries. So, I ordered new batteries from ADT. I have them here. I did some remodeling and I had to close the window and open a new window. So, the contractor threw the little things away for the windows. I ordered a new one of those. They won't send anybody out to replace them. I got the things, and I just need somebody to install them, but they won't.

    For our church, I also called and made an appointment for ADT to send somebody out to assess what we need for cameras and a whole new system for our church. We don't have one at all. They told me they'd be there. It was yesterday between 10:30 and 12:30. I allotted my time for that. It took two hours and I sat there, but no one showed up or called. Then I called in, and they said, "Well, he come at 11:30," but that couldn't be true. At that time, it was 12:45 then. Now, they said they're gonna come tomorrow, which I hope. I'm just about ready to shut ADT off if they're not gonna come. I've been with ADT for over 15 years, and I can't get any kind of service. They monitor stuff when the alarm go off and if I don't answer quick enough, they'll call. But other than that, it's not a good service.

I tried to get one fixed, but it remained the same. Also, I was about to call ADT to see that I only had $1500 that I have to pay off but it seems I pay more. I pay more for the monitoring and paying back that $1500. The monitoring is up to $65 a month, plus I pay only $27 for paying up that $1500. ADT agreed with me somewhat.

    ADT was recommended to us as the best provider for our home when we bought it. We've had them a little over two years now, but I wish that we would have done a little more research. We have sensors on our windows and doors, and they all have died. I don't know if it's the battery that needs to be changed but ADT wants to charge us to come out and replace them.

    There was some issue when signing up for the autopay. The autopay is through my debit card, but my card was hacked and I had to cancel it. We can't log into our ADT account to change it and there's been no help with it. I haven't been able to get in touch with anybody. The account is in my husband's name but billed through my name, and the login is supposed to be through him, but it's through me. It doesn't make any sense. It very well could be an error that happened when they were setting it up in the first place when the people were out here, but we haven't had success in getting our autopay reinstated either. I'm not happy with the service right now. Customer service is terrible.

The last time we did, we called and the representative told us that they're not supporting it anymore. They just offered an upgrade to the system for a lot of money. It is difficult to get someone on the phone, difficult to get an answer, and difficult to get a resolution other than upgrade.

    We have a lot of devices in the house and every time we have a problem, it gets put back on us, that we've got to deal with it. ADT doesn't wanna send anyone out. They only wanna try and fix it over the phone, but it's impossible to fix it over the phone. They put some of the glass break sensors so high.

    ADT has worked well for us and I'd recommend them to others for their personal safety and sleeping well at night. Our sense of security is much better, and it's nice when you go on vacation. It's a comforting feeling to make sure nobody's entering your house while you're not there. We had a few accidental set-offs with the motion sensors, and the police and the neighbors responded. Everybody was notified. If they don't get ahold of me, it goes to my mother-in-law and my neighbor. It turned out to be a helium balloon in the basement. The sensor sensed the motion of the balloon.

    A few times, I've had to replace the sensors on the windows or something went wrong. I would contact the phone number and getting in contact with a rep at ADT is very easy. Lately, they'll redirect the phone and we'll do it virtually over FaceTime, and they'll diagnose the product without even having to come out. At the beginning of the year, I spoke with somebody from ADT about the sensor at the front door. They tried to diagnose it over the phone. The part was so old that they deemed it to be replaced.

    They mailed out a new part and it took a couple of days to come. Once I got the part, they instructed me to contact them and they would walk me through it. They were very good. I told them I was gonna get a chair and stand on it. They told me to get a ladder. I did as the rep said, we replaced the part, and it's been working since. But there are two battery plug-ins in the basement that I am concerned about. It was a cream color and you could tell it browned as if it was overheating. It's been like that for a while. One of the guys that came to replace a part one time said that was normal wear. I don't wanna have a fire in the basement and I don't know if that needs to be replaced.

    ADT has been around for a long time and they have a good reputation. Any time I call the sales rep, Matthew, he knows who I am and he's very familiar with what I have and my situation. I'm getting personalized service. I've got his number and if I ever need him, I can text or call him. The installation was fabulous. The young fellow was very knowledgeable in a lot of things and helpful. I had just moved into this little villa and all I had was the little clicker for the garage door. First off, the system was installed flawlessly. He showed me everything I needed to know about it and one of the things he did was to connect my garage door opener to my phone. He even put the apps on my phone and showed me everything. I go for walks and I've got the dog. And I don't wanna have to put a clicker in my pocket because it's clunky. I could even send a code to my daughter so that she could open the garage door.

    I don't have to worry about porch pirates either because Amazon knows to deliver it right into the garage. They're very good with that and it works super. I opened up my Nextdoor app and there was a post about the porch pirates being out. The lady just had a package delivered and a guy with two kids in the car drove up and attempted to take her package. A neighbor happened to see him and yelled at him, and thwarted the thievery. So, he left. He didn't get the package and all is good. But I don't have to worry about that.

    I’m retired and on fixed income, and all I've got is social security and whatever savings I've got left. The cost is okay and Matthew got it down as far as it could be. It would be nice though if it was lower. But it’s manageable. It's tight but I can't do without it. My kids said that even though I’m in a gated community and it's safe, I still need to have an alarm system and be protected. So, I've got ADT. I have had other alarm system companies in the past and ADT is right up there with my number one choice.

    We have been with ADT for over a year, and never really needed them - so we thought we were working with a trustworthy company. With our renewal, we had a technician come out to service our alarm. The technician was extremely rushed and unprepared. Despite coming to change the batteries for the remote sensors, he only had a battery for one sensor. His "service" ultimately caused two previously functional zones to start glitching. We contacted ADT about this problem, and the earliest appointment they could offer was two weeks later.

    This glitch ultimately caused one zone to accidentally trip the alarm (not just zone malfunction) while we were out. Protocol was to call myself, then my wife, then our security patrol. They called me and left a message. They did not bother to call anyone else. Had this been a real alarm - a burglary, our home would have been unprotected.

    I called and spoke to the supervisor, who had no explanation for why no one else was called or why they did call security patrol. They promised to check into it and call me back. Never happened. As a result of all these issues, we requested ADT to let us out of our contract and refund the fees. They were very adamant that this was not possible. ADT is not trustworthy, and frankly I wish we had chosen another alarm company. I encourage everyone to read customer reviews to see the many comments on forums like Reddit that reflect this and consider updating your review to reflect this so that others are not misled.

    This is the most nefarious company that I have dealt with. For starters, the equipment and services that we pay for have not been active for more than 4 months. We were never notified that the equipment and services were disconnected so we had to find out after an incident and they will not reactivate the equipment and services unless we pay an extra $40 on top of the $60 that we have been paying every month that the equipment and services have been inactive. Our payments were never interrupted but their equipment and services ceased to operate more than four months ago. We have paid $240 for equipment and services that were never received and they want an extra $40 to have them reactivated. On top of all that, it was never clearly disclosed that we were signing up for a three-year contract in the beginning.

    In fact, I clearly remember the sales associate telling us via word of mouth that we could cancel anytime if we were not satisfied. It is only after more than a year into their nefarious contract that the company reveals to us that they intentionally swindled us from the start. In order to cancel the contract, they want us to pay 75% of the entire 3-year contract that we were never told about to begin with.

    I was due for a visit and an upgrade on the technology that ADT really had to have in my house to accomplish my goals of making people see the ADT sign out on the driveway. I liked the part when they sent me the notice when they were coming and who was coming. They also said that if the reps don't have a name tag on in their ADT uniform, to not let them in and to call ADT. The gentleman came properly turned out and was very polite. He did all the upgrades, asking my permission first. I finally said to him that I was going to say yes to everything he suggested because he works for ADT and that means he knows what he was talking about. Then, he cleaned up after himself.

    Also, I have a medical alert device that when I go anywhere, I carry it. I was in my own home when, all of a sudden, I got a little message that told me I needed to recharge. I just did it the day before and I found out I had stayed away a day longer and it still was charging. It told me I needed to get recharged. It's very clever. Once, I was off and forgot one piece of it and not the other. I thought it wouldn't make any difference but then my cellphone rang and I had a nice person call me and say, "We give you these things for a reason. You're paying perfectly good money. You should pay attention."

    I had the alarm go off once and I got called by ADT. I wasn't home and the rep said the alarm was triggered and they were sending the police. I said I would call my nephew who is a state trooper. She said to name my nephew and that he was the officer who was on his way I said I'd wait until he called me and told me I could come home. The sheriff's deputy got the call too and they saw somebody going down my driveway, heading to my neighbor who has a farm. They're always out of the house and out with the farm dogs. Their dog started barking and they were looking around wondering, "What was that man doing?" Walking at such a brisk rate. The sheriff's deputy pulled up beside him and asked him did he needed a ride anywhere. My nephew came around the other side, stopped him, and then they found that he had a jogging outfit on with long pant legs and he had a whole thing of breaking and entering stuff.

    I also had a heart attack four years ago. I was in the throes of having a mini stroke here in my house and I knew there was something wrong. I was going to call my nephew who lives down the street and I couldn't turn off ADT. I was doing it wrong. The machinery hanging on the wall called ADT and they called the ambulance while they were talking to my nephew. Putting in that wrong code prompted them to give me a call and they sent somebody to help me.

He gave me a cell number, since I have other problems.

    Two years ago, ADT renegotiated my monthly payment which was good. Then they started using some of the other technologies that some of the other security agencies are using like linking up with Google and closed-circuit TV. That allowed me to stay with them even though it's a little bit more expensive than some of the other brands. I'm paying more for security than most other people that would have security even with ADT because they had added a closed-circuit TV. But when I look at it, it's $3 a day for all I have for my home which is well worth it.

He plugged something in there and said that it should work.

I have my security system at my cabin up on a remote mountain. Three years ago, it was broken into and they stole everything I had in there. I decided I had to do something. I went with ADT and I've been impressed with my service. I was up here on the 4th of July, having a big cookout and we set the fire alarm off accidentally. I got a call immediately and was asked all the questions and I was impressed with how the lady handled the service. That helped also even though it was an accident. I was impressed with how quick they responded.

    I went around there one day early in the spring, and heard a beeping. I went in and reset my system. I turned it off and back on and everything was fine. But I was told that one of my batteries might have been going low. I knew that was something I would have to look forward to in the near future here is to replace some of the batteries in some of my sensors. I was told that I could contact and somebody would walk me through the steps if needed.

    If I wasn't so remote back and off the beaten path, I would love to have some cameras up there. But that's not a possibility because I don't have WiFi coverage up there and I have a sketchy cellphone service at times. It handles the other stuff very well. But I wish I could have a couple of security cameras up there. I was told in order for me to get a technician back up here, there would be a charge. I wasn't happy with that. If I could have got Henry back up here to help me change all the batteries, that would be great. But I'm not gonna pay a large amount of money for that when I could do it myself. But I would feel better if I had a technician to know everything was done correctly. I was so impressed with how well and neat he did everything.

    ADT's alarm system is okay. I've had cameras installed in my house back in 2016 when I moved to my new house. I've had them in all my houses. And on a constant basis, the cameras would go out. I'll have them come out constantly. They will come out and they will say, "Oh, nothing's wrong. Your Wi-Fi is too slow." The Wi-Fi from 2016 to now has gotten way better, and they kept on giving me the same comments and they never really tried to fix it until I threatened to sue them.

    At that point, they came and they changed out the cameras for the same exact cameras and it gave me the same issues. Because they only issue Google cameras now, they wanted to charge me about $3000 to install Google cameras and half of what the cameras I have. I was able to buy the same Google cameras on Costco for $620 and I installed it myself. So, right now, I'm paying for the cameras on my ADT and I use none of them. The reason why I don't take it off is because they don't allow me to have in-app control if I take off the camera option, which is Pulse.

    A couple of times I spoke to like their Customer Retention Department and they got a deal going where, "Hey, I've been with you guys for 20 years." "Let's do this. Let's fix it because you're not getting good service with the cameras." And then I'll stay home from work to have them come out and then they'll come out and they'd be like, "Oh, we can't do this. This is too much. Our sales department is not gonna approve this." The Retention Department approved it, but then the sales department comes out and say, "Oh, we can't do this. We're two different people. We're not gonna allow this." That happened twice to me.

    So, it's been a really horrible service from them when it comes to their cameras, and somebody saying something and somebody not agreeing. I've had a call from their sales manager in the area saying, "I am not sending somebody out unless you agree to pay a different price on top of what's agreed." It's been a horrible experience. The only reason I keep them is simply to monitor the alarm system, which has been okay. All their technology is overpriced. Also, one person will come out and be like, "Oh, my God, you're great. You don't have any issues. You don't need anything." And then the other person will come out and say, "Oh, you have to change all your cameras."

    I've had my alarm keypad since 2016. The numbers went out in it. When I press those numbers, the numbers fade out. I called them, I set an appointment for them to come out and change that because anybody could see what their numbers are while pressing. It's not very easy to figure out but still, it doesn't look very nice. Somebody came out and he was like, "Oh, they never told me that you're changing that. We can't change that. You're gonna have to upgrade your system in order to change the keypad." It's just one thing after the other.

    I'm not in contract with them. I just haven't had the time to get rid of them because I just changed out all the cameras this past summer. I did one of the cameras myself about two weeks ago. ADT's customer service people don't care. When I was having the issue, somebody told me, "Okay, no problem. We wanna keep you. We'll give you the service for 19.99, locked in for however long you wanna stay with the company because of the continuous issues." I said, "Okay, no problem. Do I have to sign a contract?" "Absolutely not, Mr. **. No problem." When my bill came in, it was the same price of $45 plus taxes.

    My cameras went out again and I got so frustrated, so I called them and I told them, "Just cut out everything. I don't wanna deal with you guys again." They sent somebody out. The guy told me my Wi-Fi isn't strong enough and gave me all new cameras again. Nothing's wrong with the ones that I have. It's just that it's an old system. What ADT did is they took away the technology from someone to get email notifications on the old cameras and only text message notifications. You could be sitting at work one day or on your phone and you get a million notifications because somebody walked by your house. They took away the notification for you to send it to your email so that they can squeeze you out of keeping those cameras.

    I have no problem with old technology upgrade, but don't charge me $3000 for cameras when I can buy it at Costco for 300 bucks for three or six. They were charging me $3000 for four cameras. In fact, the ADT representative who came by told me to just buy the cameras at Costco and install it myself. That was how I got the idea. I would never recommend anybody to ADT. My parents changed their system to somebody else recently because I told them, "Do not go with ADT." I'm very dissatisfied. 2024 would be the last year I have ADT after being with them for 20 years.

    They did a good job in installing the system. Unfortunately, about two and a half years later, the system broke down. I had to call customer service to get them to come in and fix it. They had to replace the panel, all the windows and door guards. It took a little coercion on my part. But they finally got it done when I went to customer service. Aside from that little incident, I'm very satisfied. I just got an email today that they upped my bill by $5 a month.

    I wish I knew more about the system before I did it. I would've had questions. If I knew more going in, I wouldn't use ADT. I might’ve chosen one of the newer ones. There are all kinds of stuff floating around for house security. I can do it on my own. They have better cameras I can just stick on the wall, and they work through my phone. They beep when somebody’s there. ADT has been around a long time. I got the impression that they had a good thing and they just let it ride. They didn't work to improve anything.

    The tech installed the panel in a place it's almost impossible to get to. It's hard to use. I know I can do most of the stuff on my phone, but it's easier on the pad sometimes. He wanted to leave the old cameras. We said it would be redundant. People wouldn't know if they worked. I had to do it all over. I said, “No, no. Take it out ‘cause they just clutter everything up.” It was a good plan. I had some trouble initially with the sensors coming off. The tech used bad tape. ADT came back and reinstalled the ones that pulled off.

    The system is okay. The problem is the sales agents they use. ADT is fantastic, but they're in Colorado. They have a help line. But any work that is done, they refer to their sales agent. They did not get me excited one way or the other. Maybe they got it now, but originally, there was no real training in the system. The guy would come in, install the stuff, and say, “This is how you do this. This is how you do that. This is how you do this.” He talked about something that notifies the police any time I screwed something up. There is no written documentation on how to use the system. There's a web page, but there's nothing that I could download and read.

    I'm sure there's more in the system that I've never touched. We rarely use it because everybody is afraid they would screw something up. It's there and it beeps, chirps, and lights up. I have one in the doorbell, and that works. It beeps when somebody is there. The other ones are just there. We have a total of three, doorbell, backyard, and garage driveway.

    I left a message one day. The police called. They said, “Something wrong?" The front door cam chirped. They said, “We'll have a technician call you.” Never called. I waited two weeks. I lived with it. I called back. ADT said, “We'll have a technician call you.” Had a technician named Beth who was fantastic. She sat on the line with me. We walked through everything. I finally got it to stop. It was great. But I won't get her every time.

    We were with ADT for years, and then it kept on going up. So, we cancelled and went with another company. ADT must have bought them out, so now, we're back with ADT. We've only had one incident where we had to use it. It was years ago when somebody had broke in and none of us were home. By the time the police got here, they were gone. I was getting a therapy, and they called and said my back door was ajar. So, I knew right there that it wasn't good if my back door was open. Somebody shouldn't have been in there. I was maybe 10 minutes from home. The police came pretty fast. The neighbor saw the kids jumping out my back window, and he was trying to get ahold of the police but they were walking and taking their time, so the guys ended up getting away.

    There was one other time that they did call me and alert me, and I appreciate that. Everything has been great with ADT except for it going up in price and we couldn't afford it. I don't like the new monitor that the other company has put up because it plugs into the wall and I don't care for that because I could easily turn it off. It's right by the front door, and it has my porch light. So, we really have to watch if we turn that switch because I could turn my alarm totally off. I don't like that.

    When I bought my house, a gentleman came by and introduced himself and told me that he was from ADT and what the benefits were of getting that service to my home. That was very informative because when I had an apartment, I had always had the Xfinity cameras on my home, but not the Ring camera. The first thing I noticed is that the doorbell at the property that I had purchased did not work and that it was rigged up with wrong wires. So, I figured, "Okay. Well, that'll work if I can get a doorbell where I can see my packages and see the people that's approaching my home and be able to speak to them." It was a good idea.

    ADT is a great company and it has wonderful benefits because not only does ADT provide home security, it also provides neighborhood alerts and lost pets. A couple of times I've had to report lost pets that were reunited with their owner. My package covers all of my doors, my windows, and my garage. I wasn't too concerned with having cameras installed inside my house because the feature also allows you to set the Home Stay alarm. So, I'm happy with it.

    There have been separate incidents where I came home and I forgot about my alarm. I wasn't thinking and I would go to my garage with my alarm already on. The next thing I know was my alarm was going off and the police in this neighborhood responded so quickly to it, and ADT's customer service gave me an immediate call to see if it was me or an intruder. ADT is affordable. You can't really put a price on security. So, I'm okay with the price. I have the app on my phone. It gives me notifications whenever someone is on the property. It allows me to see them. It allows me to speak with them and everything.

    My son picked out ADT but I've had nothing but trouble with it. My cameras don't work anymore and the monitor downstairs doesn't work. I put batteries in it and I was even on the phone with someone who was very hard to get ahold of but nothing worked. They told me they were gonna send a technician out on Martin Luther King's birthday and I waited here all day. Nobody showed up and I never heard a word since.

    Someone would have to come out to my house to fix all this because we tried doing it over the phone when I finally got somebody on the line and that didn't work. My cameras haven't worked in probably two years. I can't get ahold of anybody to help me and nobody will come out. They said they’d send somebody out and they never did. I'll just deal with it until the end of my contract and then go with somebody else. I'm not happy with ADT at all.

    Also, I had an app on my phone, but my son put it in his name and his email and he doesn't remember his password. I said I wanted it in my name and I wanted my app on my phone, which worked. But I got a new phone and I couldn't get the app back because I had to put in a password. That’s frustrating. And there's a thing in the basement that keeps flashing up here on my thing on the wall.

    I've had ADT since I bought the property back 11 years ago. The service stays the same, but their prices keep going up and I don't understand that. They don't let me know in advance, but it seems systematic. Whenever the economy tends to go a little bad or inflation goes up, every company wants to raise prices just because they feel as if they can get away with it. ADT is no different than any other company, because the bottom line, it's about making a profit. Periodically, I look at other companies to see what they're offering in regards to price comparison and equipment. It all seems to be relatively the same, so at this point, I don't care to go through the whole switching over, taking time off work and having to wait between a window of five hours for a technician to come out. Besides that, I had someone from ADT out for faulty sensor and they were quick to figure it out and get it fixed. The issue ended up being the battery and they changed it.

    I've been very happy with my system. It's simple. I got doors and places like that, that if they get open then they trip it. I had to repair one sensor because the flooring guy cut the line. I also put a new keypad in. Any time it went off, it has been fine. They got a good system where they called the people that I've got for calling. They would always say, "Grandpa, what did you do? Did you forget the alarm again?" So, it works. It has done what we asked it to do. We had to make some modifications and do some things different than people normally would because of the way the house and the doors are structured. When they first put it in, they worked with us, and we figured out how the best way to do it. It has been that way ever since we put it in.

    I've had my equipment for 30 years. I've replaced the control pad twice. I'm getting to the point where it needs another replacement. I have an old system. It requires a phone line. The economics of phone lines is landline is cheaper than a cellphone line. If there's a way to do it over the internet and get rid of the landline, I'd love to do it. I pay $20 a month for a landline I don't use except for the security system to call out on.

    The worst thing you can do is put an ADT sign in your front yard because it tells the crook to go back and cut the phone line, then break in. If you're a smart crook, that's what you're gonna do. Going wireless would be another investment in equipment. But in the long run, when I think $20 a month, that's $240 a year, and it's 20 years. The wireless has been here for 15 years. That's 20 times 15. I probably paid $3,000 extra. I've thought about going wireless, but I just haven't done it. I've got enough problems with wireless. The system I got works. I don't have to worry about it.

    Somebody would call me if the alarm went off when I was not here. It was a family member not knowing how to hit the keypads right. I'm getting old. I don't hear well anymore. I have frequency issues. This morning, I came into the kitchen, from the garage, and my ADT thing is on the other side of the wall in the family room. I couldn't hear it unless I went into the other room. I just put in the code and I was done.

    The only time I've had a complaint is the price got high. I called ADT and said, “There's a lot other options out there. I can get your same service for $15 a month, you want 35.” They dropped it back down to the original. In Kentucky, they put sales tax on it. So, it's $22. The only other problem I have is ADT would try to raise it. I just call them and say, "They told me I had 19.99 a month for the rest of my life.” They always brought it back. I'm happy with ADT.

    At the time I decided to go with ADT, the cost was competitive and the system operation seemed very straightforward. When I initially had the system installed, it was really frustrating and had a lot of problems. So subsequently, through lots of phone calls, lots of time on the phone and them coming out, they finally upgraded me to a system that operates very well now. But before, the app was terrible. The connecting was terrible. We had signed up with a contractor, not knowing that it was not specifically ADT. It was a contractor that looked just like ADT that was working under them, and they made some promises that they didn't keep, and I would never recommend anybody else to do that.

    One of the things that really was frustrating for me when I was told that they take care of all the maintenance, and then when I needed maintenance, that was not the case. But that was the contractor's fault. I'm satisfied with ADT now. It just took a lot of horsing around to get here. Getting to this point was a tremendous amount of frustration. In fact, at one point, I finally canceled it. Then an ADT representative that seemed to understand what I was dealing with reinitiated it under ADT instead of the contractor. My contract ended up being primarily with ADT and not the contractor, which was turned out to be a benefit. I ended up speaking to some zone managers trying to solve the issues that were ongoing.

    They replaced my panel three different times to get a panel that functioned properly. Apparently, the panel that I have now, which I've had for a year or two was the latest and greatest, and it's worked very well. They give really good service at this point. If they're doing that now, then they should be in good shape but if it was like all the confusion and all the horsing around that was previous to all this, it was not a good deal. So hopefully, they've come a long way since then.

    My video doorbell is not like I wanted it on the top for me to set up. Sometimes people could walk up to my door and I wouldn't know it. It wouldn't make the sound that I want. If you want to feel safe and secure, get the system, especially my cameras and doorbell, if I can get that doorbell fixed right.

    Their sales rep came and they said that the system would be $50 and it was what worked for us. The installation was okay and we've had it for four months. But I tried to use the app and I don't know why I couldn't get in it.

    Usually, we're pretty good with the services that we receive and their customer service has always been good. When I call for customer service, I like the idea that I get someone that is a human voice here in America that I can understand what they're saying to me. But they've got to give some kind of a retainer price break for long term customers. Maybe find something to upgrade at the cost that the customer is paying.
