    My parents have had ADT for many years. And so, as I began home purchasing, I went with ADT as a company because of the experience I had had with my parents. From multiple homes since then, I would say they've been adequate in providing services to what my family needed.

    I think I like the accessibility of the app and the integration of most functions. To be able to turn on and off the alarm system and view the camera. It's easy to use, although there may be some limited storage.

    I think they're reliable. It's been very easy for me to contact an agent. When we had some issues with our alarm system in Maryland, I called, and they were very responsive.

    They provided me with the information I needed in order to resolve the issue. They called me back in a day or so, just to confirm that everything was still okay.

    I would also say that their technology and cameras need a little bit of improvement because they're not as clear or as cutting-edge as some of the new technology that's coming out. It needs a little bit of revamping.

    But I think the infrastructure, and the responsiveness and availability of customer services is one of the things that stand out for me. I'm actually talking to a human being, and not to a bot.

    ADT notifies me when things go wrong at the house. It's great when the system is functioning properly, but we're having a little bit of issues with it right now.

    It keeps going offline and disconnects from the internet. We have to re-hook it then. They've been out to the house, and it's a little better.

    ADT’s customer service is fine, and I have no problem.

    We’ve been with ADT for about 35 years, and we enjoy the services they provide. We recently upgraded from our original ADT system, and the functionality is much better than the old one. It’s mostly hands‑free now, so you don’t really have to do anything. I enjoy this system a lot more than the one we had before.

    My favorite feature is the alerts that let us know when someone is around the house or if we need to go out. I really like the improved functionality and availability compared to what we had before, especially knowing when someone is around the house.

    It’s easy to get in touch with ADT. They notify you if something is happening. A couple of times, the alarm actually went off, and ADT called immediately to check if there was a problem in the house. I really appreciate their attention to detail and how quickly they call to make sure everything is okay.

    I’ve been with ADT for four years, and I find their service very satisfactory. When I first signed up, the sales rep spent about five and a half hours with me. He was very patient and explained everything as he went along. He’s a credit to ADT. I don’t remember his name, was a middle‑aged man, but he was very good at his job. There wasn’t a team. It was just him, and he also installed the system.

    The system suits my needs. Offhand, I can’t think of anything I’m missing. It does what I want it to do. I turn it on at night and I feel safe. That was my main objective because I live alone. I have woods behind me, it’s a senior development, all of that, so I feel pretty secure now that I have it.

    I just want to add one thing. I would appreciate it if ADT doesn’t raise the bill anymore. They raised it once, and that increase was significant. I’d really appreciate it if they could just keep it where it is.

    ADT came out, and I thought it would be cheaper to have them reinstall it. I didn’t compare them with anything else. I thought it was just a reinstall to make sure everything was working, but that’s not what happened. The installer didn’t explain anything. He didn’t say that I would need all new equipment or anything like that. He just put it in, and I wasn’t very happy with it.

    I don’t use it anymore. My wife is now in dementia care, and she’s no longer leaving the house. He also didn’t explain that there would be a five‑year contract. I don’t use the system anymore, but I’m still paying for it.

    It says, “Garage door is open,” but the garage door isn’t open. It’s the door from the house into the garage. I wasn’t happy with how they set it up. I don’t know when the actual garage door is open unless I go outside and look.

    I’m very dissatisfied with how he handled it in terms of explaining that I couldn’t use any of the old ADT equipment. The installer did not explain any of that. He just did it and then charged me. It’s like they’ve got criminals out there who do things to people, and I just got one of them. I would tell people to use someone else and find the least expensive option they can.

    I’m always treated really well by ADT, and their customer service is great. I went with ADT, probably for their wireless setup.

    Well, I have problems with the batteries having to be replaced once a year. That's the biggest drawback. And then sometimes, we get error messages, but we're finally learning the system now. The last problem was that we lost contact with the router, but we just had to put the serial number back in.

    I feel secure with ADT. I got the system three years ago ‘cause I wanted to have home security, and it's always worked really well for me. I've only needed to communicate a few times, and it's always gone well. There have been times I've accidentally set off my system, called them, and they took care of it quickly.

    I am not happy with ADT. The guy had to reschedule three times to come out and put it in. I was in the midst of selling one house, buying two, and when the guy finally came, he said I had to sign it, but he didn’t tell me it was a three-year contract. If he had made it clear, I wouldn't have done it. And I did call ADT immediately and tried to get out of it and they wouldn’t let me. They said if I wanted to cancel, I had to buy it out and it would be $1500. I can't afford to do that now, so I'm stuck with something I don't use. I'm paying an extra 59 bucks a month for something I don't need. The system was already here and the Realtor said it'd probably be good to get it. I didn't know how it worked. I didn't know I had to completely arm it and disarm it every time somebody else comes. It's just not practical for my lifestyle and my family. I'm not saying it's not good. For somebody else, it might be just fine, but for me, it's totally inappropriate.

    I don't have a very good experience with ADT. I’ve been with them for about 24 years and spent a billion dollars with them. I just stayed with them because they're not gonna give me any of my money back, even on the equipment. Because of that, I’m not gonna go out and spend another $5,000 to get their new equipment. It’s a waste of my money.

    ADT just decided to stop sending me a bill. It’s been over seven years since I’ve received one. I have called them over and over asking for a bill, and they keep saying they’ll send me one. They still haven't done that. It’s starting to piss me off that I filed a complaint against them. I will continuously file complaints against them until they send me a bill. I have every right to know what they’re billing me for because now they’ve raised their rates.

    They also upgrade their systems but don't tell people and then forget to include people in their upgrade. When my system fails, I’m sitting here, wondering why my system’s not working. I call and have to sit on hold for hours, waiting to get through to somebody. That’s when they’ll tell me they’ve upgraded their system and forgot to tell me. When I call, sometimes I get somebody who doesn’t speak English, and it’s frustrating. If I can understand them, it’s okay.

    We had ADT at our old house. Every two or three years, we got an increase in billing. When we moved into this house about two and a half years ago, my wife and I said we weren’t gonna go with ADT again because it was getting so expensive. The rep that we had for the old house called us and gave us a proposal that was fixed for life. Because of that, we went with them again. The system is working fine, and I’m quite happy with it.

    But about a year ago, I got a letter regarding a price increase from ADT. I told them what we were told, that our rate would be fixed for life. After a number of emails back and forth, they said they will honor that cost for a two-year period. With that, if there is a price increase a year or two down the road, it’s a fairly safe bet we will leave ADT, even though I like the system and don't have any issues with it.

    I got ADT as a replacement of an old security system that my parents had. My dad had passed away, and my mom was getting into her 90s. She liked the old system. One day, out of the blue, she was walking into the room, and all of a sudden, the alarm went off. There’s nobody I can call since we’re not hooked up to any service. I located where the sirens were coming from inside the house and yanked a wire off. It went quiet, but there was still beeping outside. I called my lawn man to crawl up in the attic and cut the wires off the siren. It worked, and I didn’t have the noise anymore. But my mom was not happy with that. To make her feel better, I told her I’ll get a new system put in.

    I see ADT all over the place, so I called them. The guy said he could set it up for me the same day. He was more like a car dealer, and he talked me into stuff. He came out about 4 o’clock that afternoon, looked all over the house, and saw the old system. I’m pretty sure it wasn't ADT. He set up the system in five minutes. He put these little sensors, but I didn’t like that they had double-face tape on them. Later, two of those sensors fell on the floor. I called them up and bitched about it. A technician showed up two or three days later, and he’s a really nice guy. He said the double-faced tape is not good stuff, so he screwed in the sensors.

    When my mom passed away, I called ADT and told them I wanna quit. They said I couldn’t do that since I signed a three-year contract and it would cost me $3,000. The system is good and it works, but I don't want it and I don't need it. Since mom died, I think I set it once. I’m really pissed that I have to wait almost two years now to dump it. But that’s just the way it works. I was dumb enough to take it, so now I’m stuck with it.

    We’ve had problems with ADT all the time. It’s never been right and we’ve never liked the whole system. We’re just not happy with it. One part will just quit working, and then it happens again. I go out and buy batteries and change them, and sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s adequate, but a lot of the times either one of the zones will be out or there’ll be a problem. We’ll fix that and put a battery in, and then we have another battery out in another zone. It’s just kind of a hassle to have to keep working on it.

    Also, we do not like our camera at all. It hardly shows anything and doesn't work as good as our Ring camera worked. Half the time, if somebody walks up, it doesn’t even come on, and it’s just not as easy to use. Sometimes I’ll check the saved videos and there’s nothing there.

    We actually had an emergency while we were out of town last month. A woman next door who has memory problems started ringing our doorbell about 4 o’clock in the morning while we were not home. It was really, really hard to try to see who it was and see what was going on. Everything’s okay now, but that was kind of frustrating. We’ve always been frustrated with the camera, and we've considered just having it all taken out and putting Ring in because we've really never liked it.

    I also had a strange situation when we started this service about five years ago. The man we purchased from, I guess he was a reseller, told us that if we did something, we would get 13 months free. We went ahead and had it put in, but then we started getting bills. When I called, ADT had absolutely no idea what that situation was. He was representing ADT, but making promises that wasn't true. I don’t know how this guy was allowed to write contracts, but anyway, ADT did make it right because we did put the system in.

    We got ADT because our homeowner’s insurance said that we needed fire monitoring. Their initial sales guy was pushy. But most of customer service has been good, and it’s easy to get in touch with them. We’ve had a couple of instances where we didn’t have good experiences with them, like people not listening to us or not notating accounts. Other than that, it’s been okay.

    The system has come in handy a couple of times, and it checks all the boxes for the equipment that we have. I like the door alarm and knowing when somebody’s opening the door.

    There have been a couple of instances when the fire alarm either went off or didn’t go off when it was supposed to do the opposite. My daughter takes really hot showers, and the fire alarm went off from the steam once. Another time, we had a fire, and it didn’t go off. It might have been because of the location of the fire alarm. My house is horseshoe-shaped, and the fire alarm is in my hallway. The fire happened further off, in the microwave in the dining room. But overall, ADT has good service.

The police showed up. Everybody was there. And he had to explain to them that he owns the house and I’m renting and that he’s not trying to break in. I gave him permission to collect the rent.

    And when my landlord got me on the phone, he wasn't mad at me, he said, I’m keeping his house safe but I should turn it off when I know that he’s going to be here. I gave him the combination and told him that if it doesn’t work he should call me so I can turn it off wherever I may be.

I feel very safe when it's on and I've never had any problems with anybody trying to get into my residence. Contacting a representative has also been very easy.

Their cost is also a little high and I wish they would give a senior discount.

    I called ADT because my home was burglarized, and also because my old system had started going beep-beep-beep since there was no battery. They told me it needed to be updated, and I just wanted to update the panel and get a remote, so I went ahead with it.

    The sales representative was okay, but he didn’t explain all the details, so I wasn’t aware I would actually be paying for the equipment. They told me I had to pay a hundred and somewhat dollars for a technician or installments, but then my first bill came to 50-something. When I called back, they said, “Well, you’re paying for the equipment.” He did say that once I pay it off, the bill will go back to 34.95, but I don’t know how much the remaining balance is.

    As for the system, the functionality is good, it works. We got the Google Nest doorbell with it, and the guy didn’t charge for that once I gave him a good tip. I have a remote now and I can arm or disarm it through my phone. Overall, I’m satisfied and my sense of security is pretty good.

Outside of that, it's been great and I had no other concerns. I like the system and I'm going to keep it since it is a necessity.

    I also have my son on my account. So during the false alarm, they reached out to my son and he called me. I then contacted ADT and told them everything was fine. Besides that, I really haven't had reach out to them much except for when I found out my rate was being increased again.

    So I've had two increases within the four months that I've been in the home. I was confused by it, but I I knew needed the system because safety is paramount. I feel fairly safe with the system in my home and I had no issues besides the two rate increases.

    We haven't been really happy with the service. We've had some issues, and we're ready to get rid of ADT. Last week, the Wi-Fi automatically went out for no reason at all. The Wi-Fi and some other things in the house were okay. But there was a problem with the ADT thing for a couple of days, and we couldn't get on the Wi-Fi.

    We tried to contact people but we couldn’t get ahold of anybody. If you get ahold of someone, it took forever for them to get back to you. We tried to get an appointment to have someone come out and look at the control box in the garage. This was on a Friday and they couldn’t come until Monday. We didn’t have Wi-Fi for four days. What kind of service is that? It stinks. I can understand 24 hours. It's tough. They’ve got a lot of people to cover. But four days? I'm really sorry. That is a little too long to go without whatever service you have.

    They finally set up something, and they do the window so you gotta sit around and wait for someone, hoping that they will show up. They actually did call and they came. But for some reason, something happened and the Wi-Fi came on. They didn't do anything. The guy says, "Well, I don't see anything wrong with it."

    My biggest gripe is the customer service—the fact that you can't get ahold of anybody. Even if we have a question or we wanna know something, you never can get anybody on the phone. Nowadays, everything's online. You get nothing online, and they troubleshoot you online. It's getting frustrating.

    My husband was on the phone with a couple of different people, and they told him on the phone, "Well, you might get a charge." “You better not charge us anything for coming out here if there's a problem and I can't fix it.” He spent time with these people. It was really cold out, and he was holding the thing up for 45 minutes to the control panel in the garage. Do this, do that, and put this in. The other thing is that everything goes through Google, and we're not too happy with Google either. That's always an issue too with Google.

    We have a three-year contract. This March was our first year, and we have two more years. Every time I see they take the money out of our account every month, I get angry with that. We have two different charges. One for the service, and one is the monitor for the camera.

    I just want the monitor that we purchased that's in the house that shows the garage. There's a camera out above the garage so we can see if anybody pulls up to our house. Because the way our place is situated, you can't see anything. That's why we wanted it. I always heard good things. But I don't know if things have changed over the years with ADT about their customer service and getting people out here. It's been a frustration. Check out another company.

I spent 50+ hours on hold, being transferred, re-explaining my situation to every new person, and getting a lot of promises of resolution (in 48 hours), but no delivery. They mistakenly kept both addresses (old and new) tied to my account, so I stopped paying. Surely if they weren't getting paid, they would disconnect all services, right? Wrong. They sent me to collections, but service remained on at both locations. 😂 The buyer of my house and I each had to bring an electrician in to disconnect and trash everything.

They charged me back in January for equipment and now are saying it wasn’t the correct amount, yet that was the amount told to me by a representative. They have charged me my normal monthly fee since then. They then attempted to charge my account almost $3k and said well you can dispute it with your bank, but we can’t reverse it because you owe $396 on your equipment payments.

    I've had ADT for years. I left them and then I came back for the better service. The price is a little high, but it's good service and the system is easy to use too. Everything works, including the alarm and smoke detectors. When something doesn't work, they send me a new one and walk me through it, and we're up and running again. One time, we were cooking and the smoke detectors went off loudly.

    I got the new system and it's got a lot of stuff on it, but I don't understand it. If somebody's breaking in, I want to be able to just push the button. With my old system, I could push two buttons and immediately, I had somebody. I also didn't understand why the system would be out. My landline system was down (the whole area was down). Why would my system show Wi-Fi down? Is it hooked up to Wi-Fi?

    I didn't ask for help, and I don't have any problem with the system. I just turn it on or off. I don't know anything else about it and I should know more. I assume I'm supposed to read the book myself and figure it out. Other than that, I wouldn't be without the system. ADT's service has been excellent. I was disappointed that after 35 years, they didn't replace my system for free. They couldn't even get parts for my system. So, they should have replaced it for free.

    My mother is older and home alone most of the day, so ADT gives her an easier way to contact the authorities if something happens. The representatives were great. He was very detailed and explained everything to my mom. He didn’t try to sell mom anything unnecessary. My mom said he was very efficient with his work and really liked him. I’m trying to remember his name, but mom told me she loved him.

    The functionality is really good right now. At first, we thought something was wrong with the system, but it was us not speaking clearly into the Nest. Other than that, everything’s going well so far. I like how simple it is. If I forget to set it before leaving home, we can use the app to adjust it.

    We feel very secure with it. When we leave home, we don’t worry about whether the system will notify the authorities or us in time. Since we live in a rural area, it’s reassuring to know the authorities will be notified quickly with this system.

    I’ve been with ADT for over 20 years, maybe even close to 30. I’ve moved twice during that time, so the system looks different now. At the first place, it was something you just plugged in, and I think it hooked to your phone. When I moved again, I was having a house built, so the system was hardwired.

    ADT came in and did all the wiring while the house was being built. This time around, the house was already built, so it’s back to just plugging it into the wall and using Wi‑Fi. The representatives have been great. They’re always friendly and helpful.

    My husband passed away, so I needed ADT. It hasn’t been a month since I had it installed. I called them about the smoke detectors and things that I got in the house are just low battery. Every one of them is chirping. And I ain't even had them two weeks. I have to pay somebody to come out here to stop these things from beeping.

    I called yesterday and they said that I'd be on hold for 60 minutes. They should have somebody to answer the phone call and not wait 60 minutes.

    The installer was nice. He was here for several hours, but he did well. He gave me his phone number to call if I had a problem. I'm gonna call him today.

    But I do have a problem with ADT. My husband had ADT at my daughter's house right down the street from me. And I wanted them to cut it off down there and bring it to my house. In the process, I had to pay over $1,000 down there and they still have not cut that off down at that house. They said it would take 30 days to cut that off.

    When I had this installed, I paid $808.20, $43.01, and $71.34 to have my security turned on. And now, for this month on the 19th, I have to pay 808.20 on the 19th, and then I have to pay it next month and I have my equipment paid off. That's a bit much for equipment when I already had it installed at another place. I'll pay it because I've had a deal with ADT. Their rep, Karson, was good, nice, very friendly, and knew his business. He knew what he was doing. I'd recommend him.

    I use ADT in two homes. I had them many years ago and they were fine. I’m an IT and I ended up working for another security systems company. I understand the internals of how the overall systems work. I don't think I could have picked that company in Las Vegas because, after working for them, I knew their systems better. So ADT was the only choice I could make. Then, I used them again in my California home.

    The salespeople were not so good. They say they will do something, and then it falls through. They said they will get back to me and they didn’t. That's happened a couple of times. And I was waiting for the last year and recently this year's proposals to extend my system. And this is the case in the representative in Vegas. There was no follow-through back and I still don't have the increased security I was thinking about doing. It's not that critical, but I make a note of that. She told me to go through her and everything will be done better and quicker. But I have found that would not be the case.

    I got the ADT system and the installers were very nice. They answered questions that I had and I was very satisfied with my experience dealing with them.

    The installation was a good experience. They knew what they were talking about and they explained it to me in depth. I was able to understand what they were saying and therefore, it made it easier for me.

    I’ve suggested and recommended people to ADT in the past. If they were looking for something, I would tell them that they should check out ADT because they’re a very good company. Their rates are very competitive too and monitoring the system is very easy. It’s a very simple installation, simple equipment and easy to follow. It’s less complicated, which means it’s less apt to run into problems.

    ADT features meet my expectations, but I’ve been having some issues with my system so I’m not 100% satisfied. The garage motion sensor keeps setting off the alarm and it keeps saying low battery. It’s a specialty battery and I can’t find it. ADT told me how to reset it. I should press the button 15 seconds, hold it down, and it should reset itself. So, I did that. It’s a hassle. Then my front doorbell camera’s battery went dead in five days. I had to figure that out and remember what he told me how to take it off and charge it up. So, I got that back going.

    I work 12 hours a day and I don’t have time to fool with this mess when it goes down. I didn’t even pay my first bill yet, so I wasn’t expecting to have problems yet. So, that’s why I’m frustrated with ADT. I keep getting these things saying I’m offline, they’re not monitored right now.

    When I’ve been having all these issues, they said they’re gonna get a technician to talk to me and see what’s going on. When the technician finally called me, we got disconnected as she was starting to run these tests. Then I started getting these calls from ADT saying that the burglar alarm is going off. I had the technician on hold and answered the call. Once I did that, we all got disconnected, and she never called me back. So the situation just never got resolved.

    Police have been out here. The system went off one day with the garage and it was just a fluke. About 10 minutes later, it went off. When the police came, they said my front door was unlocked. I never unlocked my front door, so I don’t know if I made a mistake. They cleared the house but there was nobody in here. I kept getting all these alerts and then I get scared. I left work twice to come. I looked on my camera and I could see the police leaving out the house.

    Weird things were happening around the property where people were coming in, sleeping next to the trees and camping. My girlfriend also found people leaving stuff on her property. She bought some low grade cameras and wanted me to set them up. I was about to when I got the email about the ADT system.

    The system is great. But when we had those cold snaps after we got the system, the battery only lasted for a couple weeks and we were charging it almost every three days. Sometimes the camera doesn’t catch when people come on the property. It goes into its sleep cycle so it doesn’t waste the battery.

    The Google Nest system they hooked us up with is really nice. The cameras are good. They’re not the highest resolution, but they’re high enough that we can tell details. When the tech came, he asked us what we were thinking. We talked about the camera angles and how many cameras we wanted to make sure everything was covered. It was just all-around a really good experience. I love the online tools too. In terms of customer service, there’s still some waiting, but it’s not like you have to jump through hoops. You can just get a operator fairly easy.

    ADT is a Scam – Stay Far Away! ADT is nothing more than a corporate scam operation disguised as a home security company. Their business model is built on deception, sneaky contracts, and fraudulent billing practices. If you value your money and sanity, do NOT sign up with ADT! Despite switching to self-monitoring, which should be FREE, ADT continued to bill me without my consent. When I tried to resolve it, I was met with useless customer service reps who did nothing but give me the runaround. And when I refused to pay for services I never agreed to, they threatened to send me to collections—for a measly $19.99! That’s how desperate they are to squeeze money out of customers.

    This company traps people in predatory contracts filled with hidden fees, auto-renewals, and shady fine print. They make cancelling as difficult as possible, and even when you think you’re done with them, they find a way to keep charging you. ADT does NOT care about your security—they care about locking you into endless payments and scaring you into submission. There are far better and more honest security options out there. Avoid ADT at all costs!

    ADT is a well-known company but I researched several different systems. In the end, I decided that I liked the idea that ADT would come in, do the installation and they have monitoring. I was literally going line by line with the person I spoke with when I was making a decision in terms of what the other option was versus ADT. We talked about different benefits, what it was gonna cost me and also some of the equipment that was gonna be installed.

    It turns out when the installer got here, there was some challenge with the equipment that needed to go in and the cost of that equipment. Not to the point where I felt like it was a bait and switch, though there was a little part of me that thought maybe there was. I was a little unhappy with the difference between what the sales person told me versus what was said to me by the installer. The installer gave me multiple options saying since it was not I expected, we didn’t have to do it. I did not want to make a decision on the spot but I felt like I ended up doing it anyway.

    The sales told me there was something called the base unit. But I didn’t want it and I just wanted the pad. It was several hundred dollars for the base unit. When I was figuring out all my cost, I took the base unit out. He said that it will be on my paperwork but when the installer gets here, he’s not gonna install it. It all made sense to me. When the installer came, he told me I couldn’t install the system without the base unit. I’m really happy to have the base unit now but that left not a great taste in my mouth.

    I like everything about the system. I’m 67 years old and I don’t want to be addicted to my phone but I use ADT through my phone a lot and that is a super convenience. I can arm the system and leave the house. If my hands are full, I don’t have to worry about getting out of the door in a certain period of time. And I can disarm my system when I pull into my driveway, and again, not have to worry about getting in the house with my hands full and running and turning off my alarm.

    I was encouraged to go with SimpliSafe and I can go buy all these different pieces that I need. But I like the fact that this was taken care of completely from beginning to end. I also like the fact that there’s 24/7 service available if I have any questions.

    I've had ADT forever. When I just wanted the security, I heard ADT was the best, and they had been around for a long time. So I just went with them. I always had a good experience with them as far as monitoring and everything.

    The team was informative about what they were doing. They knew their stuff, and they were able to answer any questions that I had without a problem. So they were well-mannered and polite.

    I feel really safe with it. Usually, going in or coming out, we get the lawn set. And my son forgets it's set, and he'll go out.

    If he doesn't have time to put the code in a certain length of time, they'll call you and let you know that the system's going off. But someone entered the code correctly, so they didn't have a need to involve emergency services or the police department.

    Well, I did have one co-worker who had asked me about the service and how it was. And I did tell them that it was a good service, and they were pretty much on point. If your alarm is going off, they will let you know.

    I like that it can be scheduled for nighttime. We use that pretty much all the time. I think they recommend you use the stay feature when you're at home during the daytime. But we use the night feature.

    The online tool is cool, and its price is pretty reasonable. I have two panels, one upstairs and downstairs, and I have a camera outside and a sensor. So my bill is about 70-something.

    I did have to order some batteries, and the representative that I talked to seemed okay. The only problem I had was trying to get the battery in the unit. I had to watch a YouTube video for a tutorial.

    But I was struggling with it because there was a little part in there that wasn't in the video, and I wasn't sure how to get it out because I didn't want to break it.

    The battery is also a struggle to put in the security box on the wall. It's so tight to the ceiling for the sensors, and I can't get to it to put the battery in there. I need them to come and put it in. Other than that, it’s good.

    My wife suggested getting ADT, so I went online and found out about it. And then I end up ordering it. The technician came and installed the device. It was a little tedious because he had to get everything set up. It took about five hours. But besides that, everything else was fine. Once they were done, he walked me through everything.

    I like it because I had a generic security system. And it'll pick up people, and sometimes it wouldn't. But ADT picks up everything–animals, people, cars, and the winds. The guy who hooked it up could have been a little bit better as far as professionalism. I've been in customer service my whole life. He could have been more professional in the way he was dressed.

    I was also misled about the price because they told me it was gonna be $14 a month. And then all of a sudden, the guy told me something different. It's $80. That's a big difference but I couldn't get a confirmation of who was right. I talked to them. Not only did they put in the order, but they also upsell. They need to have more clarity and provide more information. I wasn’t expecting to pay this much for it. Because right now, I'm on the budget.

    The app is very easy to use. Just hit the button or touch the app. I played with it while I was trying to pay. It's simple and self-explanatory. Overall I'm satisfied with ADT.

The system belonged to a company called Bulldog but later was bought by ADT. So the salesperson said it can be easily converted to ADT. She just give me a list of downside of another company and ADT is much more superior. It was at 9:00 p.m. and I was tired so I got stuck with ADT for two years. But definitely, once it's up, I'm not gonna use it. I have it for one year now and nobody came over once the sales was done. There's only one after installation visit.

    They installed an additional door sensor on my garage door because it was not properly installed. And they did some other adjustments. It's working afterward. What I learned after living here the first three months is that there are so many people who knock on the door throughout the day because it’s not a gated community.

    We travel a lot. We go to Europe every summer, and it's so easy to control the alarm system through their app. So, that's pretty nice to have.

    It's been a while, and we're happy with them. So far, so good. Their price is pretty good, and the installer team that came was perfect.

    The security system of ADT does meet my expectations. I have had them for about 14 years, probably. The installation goes pretty well.

    The interaction I had with the sales representative was fair, but could be better. They are sometimes a little short-tempered when you go to call in. Maybe not the most attentive.

    But the overall experience is decent. I feel more secure with utilizing their system. Getting the notifications that we do from the system and knowing which doors are open is beneficial.

    I just bought this house the year before last, and the lady who owned it before me had ADT. She hadn't used it for quite a while, so ADT had to make some modifications and had to update it. We added some sensors to some of the windows.

    The guy who did the installation was unsure of himself. And just a couple of months later, I didn't even have the system on, but it woke me up with a warning in the middle of the night. At first, I thought it was on. It turns out, it was just a warning that the system had been compromised.

    I figured out what had happened. The sensor on one of the windows had literally just fallen off onto the floor. And so, when I called them about that and expected them to come out. But they sent me a piece of double-sided tape and told me to fix it.

    That's not good customer service in my mind, especially for something as brand-new as that. I'm not dissatisfied with the system at all. As a matter of fact, I'm going to change the Wyze video doorbell that doesn't work properly.

    Another complaint about ADT is that it's really hard to get ahold of somebody to get something done. It's easy to find someone to fix it and pay. But I wanted to make an appointment for somebody from them to come out and install that doorbell and another camera on the side of my house. I still want to get it done, even at that.

    I'm happy with ADT. Although I have to say I typically don't even turn it on. Because I'm home all the time, and I don't worry about it.

    I've only tested it once, really, and I should do it more. I do travel a lot because I'm retired. I take trips that I call my wandering eye. So I typically don't have a destination. I just pick a direction and go. I may be gone anywhere from a week to three weeks at a time.

    ADT has some of the best and most consistent products. The salesperson was very engaging, telling me all of the things. I told him what I wanted, and he gave me a price. When the gentleman came to install it, it was two different things, so I didn't like the confusion, the pricing, and I felt I was misled. To be more specific, I needed seven sensors for the window. I understand the package came with three that included the door. So, essentially, that was two sensors for the door and one for the window. I have 11 windows, 7 of which needed sensors, and I was still able to get the six sensors, have the two doors, the back door and front door camera, which was initially promised and part of the agreement. But then the installer shows up and he tells me what he has, and it’s what I'm supposed to get for $65 a month. I told him no ‘cause it’s not what I agreed to. But he was able to work between me and the manager, who he called, to get what I needed without the price being extremely elevated. So, that part worked out. He was good, very personable, helpful, and he told me to reach out and give him a call if I had any problems. He was fantastic. Overall, the system seems to be fine. I keep getting calls at least every three days saying that there's a disconnect between my system and my internet. I have to figure out if it’s my internet, or if there may be a glitch in the ADT system. But it hasn’t been a real big problem yet and I like the camera ‘cause I’ve never had the camera before.

    Installation was pleasant. He was real sweet until he told me that I had to pay. I told him the lady I spoke to didn't tell me I had to pay upfront. He called ADT, said they would give me two months free if I paid $98 upfront. At that time, I didn't have the money on me because I didn't know I was gonna have to pay right then and there, but I managed to put it on a card, though, I haven't gotten anything saying I got the two months free. I didn't know that it only came with my doorbell and one camera in the front. She told me that it came with two cameras, the doorbell and the sensors on my doors and window. So, when I requested to have another camera put in the back of my house, the price went up on me, but I just went on ahead ‘cause I needed that camera in my backyard. He put one in the back and one in the front over my garage and then the doorbell one. Other than that, everything else was fine. I plan on calling him back over here where my son stays at to have ADT put here.

    I’ve been hearing about ADT my entire life, so I just figured that I would go with them. I like the fact that with my system I have the ability to look outside my house and I can see what’s going on. The only thing that I did complain about and I do not like is if I lose power, then I have no more security protection. I love the service, but we are always losing power down here.

    When I called ADT the first time to complain about that, they said I can go down to the store and I could purchase something else. That’s telling me they don't have everything for me with the service that I’m paying for. That was a major thing for me. I would appreciate it if that could be fixed.

    Another thing is I have to recharge my camera for the doorbell system. I have another camera attached to the top of my home that I don't have to recharge. Why couldn’t the other camera be hardwired in so I don't have to recharge it? I don't like having to do that. For everything else, it seems to be working okay.

When we’re having some problems with the motion detector in the living room, they called. They told us they noticed motion in the living room, but it was just going off on its own. They came out and changed it for us. The one thing that we’re struggling with is that their price went up fairly significantly. We went up from $40 a month to almost $55 a month.

    We've used ADT before but we moved every five years. This last install was not the best. It started with the first correspondence regarding the quote and the pricing. We were quoted on the phone. I was quoted $49 a month and I said I don't have that anywhere in writing. And he said that when they come out and do the installation, they will give me that price. As soon as the fellow walked through the door, it was $59. He said they don’t do it for $49. And that's on a pre-recorded line so we're gonna follow up with that.

    During the installation, he stayed here quite a while. He hooked up the doorbell, but never tested it. He left without the doorbell working. I fixed that a few days ago by myself. But the Google Nest worked. We have a door in the bedroom that goes outside. And on a windy day, the alarm was going on and off and we were out of town when it happened. So we just shut off the alarm.

    And when I called them to have them fix it, they gave me instructions on how to fix it myself. I had to move the two components a little closer and get some two-sided tape. We're spending a few thousand dollars on this contract and they're telling me I got to get up there and fine-tune things. I'm not sure why the repairman couldn't just come out and check it. When something's not working after a week or two, they should come out and fix it.

    The issues shouldn't have happened because we haven't had that experience before. We were very happy with the two times we used it before. But this last time, we weren't.

    I had ADT first for a prior house because my wife was alone during the day and she got sick. When I moved, what made me stay with ADT was the monitoring. Other systems don't seem to be monitored as well as ADT. I like the recommendations of their installers than their salespeople. An installer talked me out of getting a certain type of camera because the maintenance was not good, and it ended up the recommended camera was clear and more reliable. Another recommended that I didn’t need to buy as many sensing devices. I think that was a good recommendation.

    Their system works, and that’s what I need it to do. My only issue with setup and service is actually a problem with the fire changes in Massachusetts. I’ve had the system installed for fire and carbon monoxide monitoring, but the fire chiefs still require these stand-alone systems that aren’t connected any way. But the most important thing is that ADT seems to maintain good relations with the police department. One time, I was out of town traveling and had a security break, but it turned out to be my mistake. ADT was able to get the police to come out and check. Even though it was my mistake, it was good to know that it was reviewed.

Since he asked what the passcode was, and I didn't remember it because it's 17 years old we went on our way. And all of a sudden, I got a call from my neighbors. The police were there.

    Evidently, we left the garage door open and there were workmen across the street who looked a little shady. And the not-very-good police from our area had one of them in handcuffs because they thought they were robbing our house. So, when I told the guy who I was and he knew who I was, I'm not quite sure why he still called the police. I didn't give him the passcode, because it was my cell phone but I answered his questions. I’m very satisfied with ADT except for that one incident.

    I would recommend ADT. The only issue I've ever had with them is getting someone from their call center who speaks English well enough that I can understand to help me get whatever we've needed. Nowadays, every company wants you to go through their website. When you call, they say everything is on website. I'm 50 years old. I am computer savvy. But I don't necessarily want to conduct business that way over the computer. And some questions can't be answered on the computer.

    I have been with them for around 15 years. We've had it for business and personal use. The service works great. The keypads are now touch screen. They have a lot more tech upgrades and cameras than when we first started. The system is easy to use, including their app. I like being able to turn my system on and off from my phone.

    A lot of people in our area use ADT and we’ve had them for about 10 years now. It functions fine. It gives us what we want. Their customer service is generally responsive. We never had any major issue with them not coming out and doing something if they need to do it. The alarm stuff works well. It goes off when it needs to go off.

    ADT is a good company that you can use. I have another home in Florida, but I don't use ADT there. I use another company and I put everything up myself. It costs about half of what ADT is. But for this home, I stayed with them. I wasn't gonna rip everything down and put everything up from a different company.

    I'd recommend ADT to a friend, but I'd be honest with him and tell him what my issues were. Usually, with brand new homes, that's probably not as much of an issue. My home was built in 1947. It’s a mid-century home. And I don't know if that makes this an issue.

    I got ADT in 2008 and I discontinued for a couple of years. I went away thinking I was gonna save money. And then I realized this is not good. And I came back but it’s not been the same. I don't know if it's because they got so big or if this is just the new normal.

    I really like ADT. They’re a great company. But it's not been the most perfect experience for me as an old little single lady. The equipment isn't as good as it used to be. When I first came with ADT in 2008, I never had issues. The protection is good. However I'm not feeling as comfortable because something's going wrong. Either sensors were not working. I finally had to take the sensor out of a back room because it's a dead zone in there. I've had nothing but issues there.

    The other issue is that I have to pay $59 for a tech to come out here. It does not sit well with me, especially if it's their equipment that goes wrong. I understand it's the way of the world now, but it taps my hide every time, especially if it's stuff that's going around here through no fault of my own.

    And I seriously thought about finding another alarm company that hasn't gotten too big. But so far, I'm still with ADT. But I had an experience with them on the phone, trying to take care of all the things that went wrong after coming back. And it left a bad taste in my mouth.

    They're always helpful. I've even had techs where I had to get on a video with technicians to try and fix the issue. And they thought for sure it was fixed, and it really wasn't. It happened twice. I got so mad when there was someone I spoke with telling me I had to pay to get here and address the issues in this house. I'm paying for this service and to have to pay to fix the equipment online with a technician really rubbed me the wrong way.

    It was convenient to go with ADT but they could use some improvement in knowing and understanding that the physical address may be different from the mailing address in some homes especially if your neighborhood is not in it. You may have a different ZIP code from the mailing address and from the physical address. The homeowner knows that because we have to pay for it. But it's talking in circles trying to explain why you have a different physical address versus a mailing address, but it's the same location.

    Overall, the system is okay. Unfortunately, when the batteries go out, it causes a lot of confusion instead of giving a signal. It causes a lot of hassle and it triggers the alarm. I am also a little disappointed in the extreme rate hike.

    I have also been having problems with the system. I got the service in January 4, 2023 and I started getting problems in March. The camera was not recording. Somebody was trying to get into my house and I had to put the Ring camera. The battery is supposed to be five-year guarantee, and I've changed my battery five times since 2023. And right now, it's low battery again. I've been calling back and forth with ADT to change the device and even to cancel my services but they do not let me. They wanted to charge me because I wanted to disconnect it. I told them I was not getting the service that was offered to me. I'm not happy with the services since day one.

    Two months ago, they went to change the batteries then two weeks after, I had the low battery system again. I paid $100 for the batteries. I feel that the problem was the device and not the battery. I’m not satisfied at all.

    I spent 45 minutes trying to talk with a supervisor because the person I spoke with was a little rude. I wanted to explain my situation because I'm not happy. I lost income.

    The service I had before, Brinks, was very good, but they were going out of business in the New Orleans area, and they highly recommended ADT. My home has been very secure with it. Any little thing that pops off, they make sure to let me know.

    One time, I was getting my house remodeled after Katrina, and there was an issue. Somebody was trying to steal the wood in the house and didn't realize I had an alarm system already placed in the house. It went off, and the cops were notified, as well as me, and I had to come from where I was staying at the time in the Metairie location. I was well-secured and was feeling comfortable about everything because as soon as they were trying to hit that door, it was on. I had one of those systems, which I still have. It's like an alarm call that would go off so loud it could be heard in the whole neighborhood.

    I also love that a representative gets on the phone and calls you. It's not an automatic service, but it's a representative, a live person. "Yes, we're calling. We received it." If you don't answer, they're going to leave a voice message.

    It has not been that difficult for me to get in contact with a representative. If I wanted to call and get a battery replaced, there would be no more than a wait time of about 15-20 minutes. They've been pretty good about that, and even during COVID, they were really good with checking on the system. Even the guys who came out and did the installation have been very professional.

    The only thing I ask is if they could lower their payments a little bit because I have two accounts. I trust them so much that I put it in the second house. I have recommended ADT to friends. I have a total of five of my friends who have them.

I paid for the equipment because he got the camera out there, and he said that all I have to do is just plug it in. When I went out there, there was nothing to plug in because it's just a wire.

    I’ve had ADT for over 20 years, and it’s been a love-hate relationship. The hate is the technology. I have one sensor in the basement that needs a battery replacement, and the touchpad in my bedroom flashes all night long. I have to actually take it off the wall or cover it up. The touchpad batteries are proprietary to ADT, so I can’t find them anywhere else, and they’re really expensive.

    As for the system overall, it works fine, except for the doorbell. It stinks. The video doorbell, I can’t keep it synced, and I've been fighting with it since I got it, even though I have plenty of Wi-Fi.

    My sense of security in my home is great as long as the system is set up. But when it comes to technical problems, I usually know more than the first person I talk to, and I always have to get escalated. I don’t get immediate service, and when they escalate the issue, I have to go over the whole story again. I used to not care about time because money is more important.

    I’ve had ADT for the past couple of years, and while I’ve had contact with some good representatives, the equipment and overall service haven’t been great. Every time I spoke to a different representative, I was told something different about payment arrangements. If I pay an X amount, they would match it. Then the next time, I was told I had to pay a larger amount for them to match it. But I’m over it at this point.

    The system itself doesn’t even work. It sucks. Half the time the cameras don’t work; if it’s not the side door camera, it’s the front door camera. Right now, the front door camera hasn’t worked for three months. The last time someone came to fix it, they tried to charge me. This time, they said they would send someone once I catch up on my bill, but at this point, I’m just over it. Some of it is my fault because if I called to troubleshoot, it might work, but half the time, I don’t have the time or patience for it. I’m getting too old for all that nonsense. I don’t like troubleshooting, so sometimes I just wait until it pops back on. But this time, it hasn’t popped back on.

    When it goes down, it usually takes two to three months. Now, the battery is beeping in the house. They told me I couldn’t order a new battery, and I’m not sure why. I wish I hadn't renewed it, but I did. The young lady I renewed it with was so nice, so I think that’s why I did it. But I’ll think twice before doing it again.

    I’ve generally had pretty good people, until maybe a couple of weeks ago. One young lady I spoke to wasn’t rude, but when I told her that another representative had told me that if I made the $55 payment, she would match it, she acted like I was just saying something. I told her I wanted to check to make sure before I did it, and we were disconnected. She didn’t call me back, which I thought she would have, so I tried calling her back and got someone else. This representative said I had to pay $167, but I just went on and paid the $55.

    It’s not that ADT isn’t important, because it is, but I have to prioritize. I’m struggling as well and need to pay my mortgage before ADT. I don’t need ADT if I don’t have a house to live in. I pay everything on time, but after my mom passed away in June, I had to play catch-up, but for the price, it’s good.

He installed it improperly; the system quit working because the young man installed three of the sensors so the batteries could not be changed. ADT told me I owed them for the lease of the equipment... NONSENSE... I purchased the system outright. They sent to me a signed agreement that showed I would pay a monthly equipment charge; the signature was not mine; somebody at ADT FORGED my signature. I have called ADT 15 times to get this resolved... no resolution. I had to block ADT from charging my credit card. ADT is the WORST company I've ever dealt with.

    We bought a house in Pennsylvania about a year and three-quarters ago and were looking for a security system. I’ve seen ADT’s signs in people’s front yards, and I thought they looked solid, so we had a guy come out to the house. We have quite a few doors and windows that we’re monitoring, and he gave us a demo with the control panel and set it up. Installation probably took three hours because we have quite a few doors and windows. It’s an old farmhouse, and half of the house was built in 1890, while the other half was an addition put in in 1990, so we had security for both sides.

    Overall, I think it’s been pretty good. We had a scenario last January with really high winds that blew a door open, and that notified the local police while we weren’t there. We had to call some neighbors to come over and take a look, and the local police came and secured the house. Everything was fine, but we were told that if we got two more of these, we’d be fined by the local county. We haven’t had any more since then.

    ADT has been around forever and at one time it was pretty good. But I have recently been looking into other means for home alarm protection because I'm just tired of the service. I'm at my wit's end with it. If I hadn't spent as much money on the equipment as I did, I'd already been someplace else.

    I live in a rural area and got 5G internet service, WiFi and stuff. But yet, my monitor hardly ever works and I have to reset it four or five times just to make the alarm come on. Whenever it finally does connect, I have to keep hitting set alarm and it keeps coming up with error codes. The app on my phone also says it can't connect even if I have full signal. I'll be standing right next to the thing with my phone in my hand trying to arm the system and it says it can't arm. When I try to disarm it, it's the same thing and it takes forever.

    Sometimes the system will also say cellular failure and I have to reboot it. I end up rebooting the system two or three times a week. On top of that, the monitor stays plugged in all the time but it will suddenly say it has a low battery. That doesn’t make sense to me because it’s never unplugged and the batteries shouldn’t even be used.

    Trying to get ahold of somebody is another issue. Whenever you try to call, you gotta go through all these robot things, and push several buttons just to talk to someone, and then you may wait on hold for up to an hour. But if you call like you're a new customer, they answer right away. I've had somebody sitting next to me and asked if I was still on hold. I said yes, and they tried to call. I told them to say I’m a new customer and they answered the phone right away. I just have them hang up on it.

    I had a service tech come out and they said I had a bad signal. I’m like, “Really? I’m talking to you, ain’t I?” My phone works when I call from here to Florida, Michigan, and everywhere in between. But I'm trying to contact this machine right here in my home that's connected to the WiFi and it doesn't work. They even changed the battery, but it still shows low battery even though the system is plugged in all the time.

    I spent thousands of dollars on having everything installed and all the equipment was supposed to be the best of everything. But it’s been absolutely disappointing. I could have bought several cameras off of Amazon, a Ring doorbell, and hooked it to the WiFi and had way better than what I've gotten out now.

    I had ADT in my other home before I moved into my new home three years ago. I was used to dealing with them and didn’t want to go to another vendor. I was satisfied with their products beforehand. The transition between the two homes was seamless. They worked it out with no problems. They were very efficient and came when I scheduled. There was no interruption. I called them before I was going to move in so they knew the date and all of that.

    The installation in my new house went well. I didn’t have any problems. They installed the alarms on the front and rear door. Typically, houses in New England come with a back door as opposed to a side door, which was kind of different from what I’m used to, but that’s fine. It’s just that different states have different requirements and laws. There was no problem with that at all.

    They also walked me through how to use the main connection so I would know what it was. They showed me how it worked because I didn’t know what that was at one point. All the alarms on the windows and doors were fine, and those are pretty easy to see.

    Their customer service was great. They called when I had several false alarms because something kept triggering the carbon monoxide alarm. It might have been the way it was positioned near the bathroom since the steam could trigger it on a regular basis. It was handled very quickly. They just moved the location because it was too close to the bathroom.

    The pricing could be a little better because I’m still paying for the product, which I didn’t really understand. They’re charging me three different prices every month, saying one of them is for the equipment. I’m really upset about that. All I asked was for them to combine it into one lump sum. Instead of one payment, my bank account is being charged three different times every month. I’m not happy with that at all.

    About 15 years ago, I had a neighbor dispute and got security because of that. At that time, ADT was the only home security that was really out there and the only option I knew of. When I had to move and get everything reset at the new location, the experience wasn’t as good and I had some blips with that, but it all worked out.

    Over time, I’ve been satisfied because every so often I get a notice that my rate is going up, and they told me that every time I get a notice like that, I can just call them and they will keep my rate the same. I’ve been a long-term customer, and they won't go up on my rate at this point. I like that I’m able to maintain the lowest available rate based on my years of loyalty.

    As for the features, I like that the remote app allows me to set the alarm remotely and turn it off remotely, and it alerts me if it goes off.

    With ADT, I feel a lot more secure knowing I have those lawn signs out there and that my alarm will go off if someone tries to break into my home. It’s a deterrent to crime. There may be issues from time to time, but they try to work with you to resolve them. All in all, it’s a good service to have to protect your home.

    I'm not happy with ADT at all in any way, shape, or form. I had set up an appointment with them to come out and replace an alarm to put on our door. An individual came out, put the alarm on, left, and then sat in his vehicle about 45 minutes outside.

    Then I get a copy of an invoice with my signature on it, which I did not sign, and for an amount different than what I was quoted.

    I was told by the representative that I didn’t have to be present and that technicians sometimes put the owner’s name on. I told them that doesn’t sound right, especially since I was available at that time. But he still took it on his own to sign my name, which really bothered me. In that copy, I was also agreeing to different terms such as pre-billing and other things, and for an amount different than what I was quoted.

    At one point, I was contacted by their vice president and told that I needed to submit five copies of documents with my name on them showing my signature. That way they could compare it to the representative who I claimed signed my name, including things like my driver's license and other documents. I said, "No, I'm not going to provide any of that to you." I don't know how many months it took or how many calls to everybody, but they finally reversed the amount, but with really no explanation.
