I've been with ADT for 12 years. I sort of fell into them. My house had a panel when we bought it, and we just took over the service. I felt we had some value the first few years. I felt like the service was current. But now, they just don't seem to offer upgrades to their existing hardware. I find it impossible to get their hardware removed if I need it removed. The newer systems like the Nest cameras, range systems and the wireless could easily replace them. So, I have it on my to-do list to replace ADT next year.
I bought my Nest smoke detectors. And I bought my Nest cameras separately outside of the package. ADT has not offered to come and integrate them to my current service. I'm super frustrated with either their lack of outreach or integration. They just want you to buy their stuff, and they back away from their stuff. They just want you to put the ADT sticker on your window and say, “Everything's okay.” I'm not thrilled with them right now, and they've gone up 200%. I started at $87 quarterly and now, I'm at 193 quarterly. they're not updating my equipment. They're not updating my panel. They're not updating anything.
if I buy a cable box, Verizon will come out and replace your cable box, if it's out of date. If your router goes out, Verizon will replace their stock router as part of their service. ADT does not offer to do any of that. They want you to pay for everything out of your pocket, as opposed to a rental like we have through our cable system. It’s just super frustrating dealing with them now. with the advances and the wireless stuff, I feel you can buy those services at probably half their cost. The problem I have with ADT is I just can't find anybody to remove their hardware right now.
I would tell others to look at other alternatives. I don't know where their value prop is right now, because even with the Nest and some Google stuff, you can get packages that will contact the police. ADT is not the only game in town now that offers a system where if you have a vibration or if somebody breaks a sensor, they'll call the police. Other systems work like that. I'm not thrilled with anything ADT offers right now. If they were customer-oriented, they'd be updating my equipment. They would be reaching out. They would be not just sending me an email and saying, “Hey, go to MyADT.com and look for stuff.” They sould show a little bit more interest in my system.
With the existing technologies, I'm done. They’d have to do some major service recovery to keep me right now. I use their panel but my equipment's older, so it's really not applicable. I can test my hardware through their app, but it doesn't tell me where my window sensors are, and it's not like the Nest smoke detectors where I know where each one is.
Hello. Thank you for the review and feedback. If you're interested in upgrading the system, please contact ADT at 1-800-238-2727 and depending on what you're interested in and type of current equipment, this may require some devices to be replaced if they cannot be integrated. Also, ADT will only install equipment purchases through ADT.

ADT is used by many people in our area and we've been customers of theirs for over 20 years. I like how simple the system is. It's straightforward as well. We had technicians out here to replace some sensors and upgrade our system 'cause it has been so long since we had it put in, and they did a great job. We don't have any digital support because we didn't have a big enough bandwidth to support it. That's the problem of living in the middle of nowhere. We also have a very weird thing going on with one of our doors. It says that it can't set the alarm for that door. It's not performing very well but that's the exception rather than the rule.

We like ADT. We've had them now for 22 years. The house that we had in Ohio had the ADT unit in it when we moved into it. Then when we moved here, the house also already had the ADT units in it. Over the last five years, we've added five cameras and all that went real well. ADT's app and equipment are easy to use. I can do most of the troubleshooting myself if we have any issues, which isn't very often. They respond real well too. They're very helpful if we have any issues or problems.

I'm not happy with ADT at all. The system has not been working for almost a year. I have cameras but none of them is working. If somebody were to come to my house, I would not even know. I've told ADT many times and they've said they were gonna send someone to come but they never show up. One of them showed up one time but didn't even wait for me and left. When I called him back, he never came back. Customer service is not good. The people that I spoke to are not able to help me. They said they could give me a rebate. I'm paying $71, and they were gonna give me $9 which is an insult. When I call them to get me disconnected, they never disconnect. They keep holding my money. I need my refund because I've been paying for nothing.

I wouldn't let them in my house again. I didn't like the way they treated me. It was the way they came in here and they got my routing number for my bank. They left that day without my service being hooked up because I didn't have a Google number. But when they came by, I didn't have one. That really pissed me off. As soon as my contract's up, I'm gonna be out of there and I don't want anything to do with ADT again. I've had the police and the fire trucks come here before when I first got it. Didn't know how to use it. I've also had their techs out here. The last one lied to me. He said he’d come back and fix my doorbell, and he never showed up. He said I didn't even have to make an appointment, and said he's over every Tuesday and Thursday. He said he'd be back and fix it. I haven't seen him since. That's been over a year ago.

We did the panel, cameras, some window sensors with ADT. The quality of the cameras is fine. However, the service has been horrible. They installed the wrong panel at my house. It was for an Airbnb and I told ADT what my housing situation was. But they came out and installed one of the newest panels that had an indoor camera on it without telling me. The guy walked me through for hours but never mentioned an indoor camera.
A guest noticed it and our business closed down. ADT would not come out and exchange the panel out for a cheaper panel. They didn't take any responsibility for what they did and made me pay still. I would have appreciated them coming out and replacing the panel for the panel that was originally supposed to be installed and not making me pay for it. After the 10th person I talked to, the lady was able to give me a little bit of a discount but she was not able to accommodate me not paying.

My front doorbell was hard-wired to an existing door chime, and it's ADT supplied and installed. My front doorbell was same as I got on my back doorbell, but it was hard-wired. It quit working. It tells me the battery is dead. That was what I was calling about. The rest of the back door, which is battery-operated, is working fine. My front door was the problem. I called ADT support to get something going on and find out who could come and fix it for me. They don't have a phone number that connects to a real person. I'm surprised I got this call back, but I couldn't find a real person to talk to. And every time I would get to a situation where I can find information and get somebody down here to fix a thing for me, it turned out to be a sales thing. I'm not wanting to buy more equipment. I just want to get my equipment working. I couldn't do that.
The site is hard to navigate and it's not user-friendly. Right now, I couldn't go online and find somebody to say, "Come and fix this darn thing." To me, that's not good service at all. I realized that everything's busy. Technology goes a long way, and I'm old school. So, not been able to talk to a person is my number one thing. I never got to a salesperson, but I got to the sales website. I never got to a person. It went in the direction of sales. I do not know what's going on, but my telephone used to tell me when somebody rang the door. It goes through Google Home. And right now, I don't get the notification. It's like it's changed. I need a repairman to come out and fix what I've got and get it back working like it was.

It's been excellent with ADT. We had them years ago before we came back to them. It's very simple to get in contact with them. You just call the number and they quickly answer. Everything is handled smoothly. When some of the sensors were older and needed replacing, I called them and stated the problem. I was immediately put in touch with the technician who came out and he handled the job very well the first time. He was very prompt and professional. When the alarm went off at 3:00 in the morning, we received a prompt call from them so that gave me security knowing that even in the wee hours of the morning when I'm still asleep, they're still looking out for me. In these days and times, I feel more secure having the security system, knowing that they will answer when I call.

I feel very secure with ADT. The functionality is not perfect, but it's good. The performance side is better than the functionality. I like the voice command system. It prompts you when you open your doors or windows. That's exceptional. I also like the fact that they send out yard and window signs readily when you ask for them. The customer service is the best part of ADT. They're usually very helpful. However, the customer service calls when the account is past due for 30 days can be a bit excessive, particularly for a customer that's been with them for a while. If they could amend how they go about collecting past due balances a bit, that would be helpful.

ADT uses existing equipment to tie into their equipment.

About five years ago, the dialer had to be replaced and it went round and round for a couple of calls. Eventually, the techs came in and replaced it, and charged me. ADT should lower the cost by about 50%. I read an article recently that said even if your system is monitored, the police will probably not come even if called by your monitoring company because there have been too many false alarms. I have not experienced a false alarm but I have to pay yearly to the police department for having an alarm permit. But I'm not sure if they would ever show up if I had a need for them.

A section of my ADT system doesn't work and I have to bypass it to set the alarm. So I'm not terribly happy about that. And when I call my sales rep, he doesn't call me back. That's contrary to what he told me when I first signed up with the system where he said to call him any time. I've had this problem for a while and I called him a bunch of times when this started happening. I'm dissatisfied with how I'm being treated. I pay a fair amount of 60 something dollars a month, over $2 a day, and I should get better treatment for what I'm paying. There are a lot of other options out there these days and ADT is taking that for granted. Also, my sales rep probably wants me to call tech support or something and pay for a service call, and I don’t want to.
To be fair, when I talked to their reps, they would say that it's an old system and they don't support that anymore. But one time, I had a technician who came over once. I had a problem in another part of the system and he took a little time to analyze what was happening, but he fixed it. The problem I'm having now is the same problem, so they are capable of fixing the system. They just don't want to.
They also want to charge me a bunch of money to upgrade the system, which is off. As part of my 60 some odd dollars a month that I pay, I ought to get a maintenance with this thing. I'm not looking to put in a new system and I'm not looking to put in new components. I'm looking for a technician who understands the system. It’d probably take him about an hour to track down what's wrong and fix it. But for some reason they don't want to do that. I’d tell my friends not to buy ADT and to get a different system.

I'm having a problem with ADT and I tried to do something about it six to eight months ago. Things are little tight, so I tried to cancel the subscription at that particular time. But you can't do that or you want to pay $3,000 and get out of it. I told them if I had $3,000, I'd keep it. The system is not even up and running. I ended up moving, so the system is in a box. And they've done nothing. They said they'd cut the rate for me but they're doing the same deduction from my bank. So I'll have to wait until my bank account gets to a certain level and it's going to be empty then that'd be the end of it.
I expected some kind of cash offer and I was willing to borrow that and get out of it. ADT is a little bit greedy and if people ask me, which some have and some haven't, but as time goes on, they ask me more, I got to tell them my story and I'm not going to lie about it. I wouldn't want people to get into the same problem that I'm in with them. The product's good and there's nothing wrong with the system. But I don't like the pricing and people saying they'll reduce my rates until my situation gets better. I'm 79 years old and retired. How do I get better financially? Also, there are a lot of good products that don't have this type of, "When you get with us, you have to stay or you pay." I tried to reach a settlement, but $3,000 is not fair. It's a monitoring service which is not used until something happens. And the equipment is paid for. So they're not user-friendly.

We have a notice of an alarm.” Then I tell them that I forgot to turn it off or I didn't get to it fast enough. Navigating the system is pretty easy to do even for an old lady. It's a good system. It's not the cheapest by any means, but you can be certain that whatever security system you buy, they back it up and they'll follow up with you.

It's been very frustrating dealing with ADT, and it was possibly due to the pandemic. But we started having a lot of issues with the system and the service became really unbearable. We have constant issues with disconnections of the cameras. Even to this day, our doorbell has never worked right since it was installed. I've gone through different reps and for the most part, they were very unhelpful. Now and then, I get somebody who would know what they're talking about, but it never truly resolved the situation.
Initially, the system worked pretty good. But then we started having connection problems with the cameras. Even right now, the app is all off time, and that's another thing. Trying to program the timeframe for the cameras to record when they should record and when they should take video has made it very difficult to make a connection with the cameras and get the programming done through the app.
The app seems to be more of an issue than the cameras. But then we've had connection problems on top of that. Right now, the times are all off again. So my back camera, instead of recording at 8 o'clock at night till dawn, is doing it at 2:00 in the afternoon. It just changes for no reason. It needs this constant upkeep. We used to call, set it and forget it. It's been a constant battle. So I gave up on it. When I went outside, the doorbell was flashing red again. So I'm just gonna buy a Ring doorbell and get that up. The ADT system is antiquated.

We have the monitors on the doors and the windows. It'll tell me that one door is locked or not. Sometimes I leave one of the garage doors open and it'll notify me that it's open. When I had burned a pizza in the oven, it set the fire alarm off. I couldn't get to the phone and by the time I answered it, ADT had already dispatched the fire department, which is what was supposed to happen. After that, I learned to call quickly to report a false alarm.
We've had ADT for about five years and initially, it was easy to give the family the app to turn it on and off when they came to the house rather than try to race to the keypad. But two years ago, they ADT to replace the system 'cause they changed their cellular system. They ended up giving me an older unit that didn't integrate with my Wi-Fi. The app changed to a different app, which made it a lot more complicated to give access to other household members. ADT keeps pushing their integration with Google Home, but the unit they gave me is not compatible with the Google mesh routers. They gave me an older version of the Wi-Fi security setup so it won't connect. I'm not happy. ADT said they can give me a new unit but they're gonna charge me for it.
They're also not very responsive. When the system wasn't working, it took four weeks for me to resolve the issue, me threatening to leave, and them giving me a discount for that year to keep me as a customer. It took me a week to dig down and get to somebody that could make a decision and address the issue. Right now, I'm in the process of looking for a new alarm company.

When the internal battery died, ADT sent a replacement battery that does not fit the unit. At that point, I told them I've got this X number of years more in this house. If it was relying on the battery power, it must be because the overall power had been out of the house for several days, and there was probably not much of a house to be going back to anyway because of a storm. I would give a good recommendation for the product, but I would add a caveat. There is not a local ADT person. Anyone would have to come from Alabama, Louisiana, or someplace distant, and there would be a phenomenal service charge for them to come out and service their equipment. We have had service with ADT for 27 years. Prior to here, I had them in Georgia where, again, I had experienced issues.

I had ADT in my previous home and was happy with the service, so I transferred it here. My interactions with the reps have been good. The person I interacted with mostly was when I had a dead battery in the unit that's on the wall. He didn't speak really good English, but we eventually got through. I ended up having to buy a new battery. Setting it up, he was hard to understand, but other than that, he got the problem fixed. On a different note, it's a high price to pay for the service and I would prefer if it was cheaper. There are competitors that are cheaper. I'm paying for the name.

The house that I bought had an older ADT system installed and I wanted to continue it, so I called ADT. They put on a newer box and hooked me up to the fire station and the police. All I have is a doorbell camera. The first one that was in the house, the same type as the one there now, the battery wouldn't hold a charge. ADT replaced the older one with the same model, but it was newer and I've had no problems with it since then. ADT is a great company. Every time I've talked to them, they've gotten back to me. They do what you're wanting to do. There's not a lot of interference and I'm comfortable with them. They're not always trying to upsell me something else. So, I appreciate that.

My bill keeps going up, and I'm not too happy about it. I'm paying $53 a month and it's ridiculous. All they did was my doors. They didn't do any windows, but I'm being charged all this. My friends had their windows and doors done, and they're paying a lot less. I have friends that only pay $90 every three months.

We had a security system built in our home about 30 years ago and it migrated to ADT 15 years ago. The customer service has always been good, whoever I talked to. I've never had a problem with any of the ADT people. When I've had some malfunctions in our alarm system, they came out and always had it fixed with no problems. They've added something or we got rid of something too. It's very easy to get someone. There was never an emergency, so sometimes it took a couple days, but usually, they'd be out within three days if we needed something looked at.
So far, so good. The system is working fine and we're very secure. I can set and unset the system as well as check it from my phone. That's nice. If we forget to set it or when we're coming home, we can unset it. We don't have to punch in the code all the time. I would recommend ADT.

I've never had a problem since I’ve been using my account with ADT. The only thing the alarm does is the sensors on all the doors, and I got a smoke detector. But there were certain changes to the plan that I was not aware of until I called them. ADT should tell people about the prices that they would charge for batteries as well as the app. That should be disclosed upfront. When I was paying through NorthStar, my price included batteries. It was a lifetime changeout on the sensors and smoke detector battery. NorthStar would send me batteries and when they went bad, I found out that they charge for that now. I've got a NorthStar app on my phone to disarm and alarm, but ADT charges for the app. That's something someone should not have to pay for. So, to me, the price didn't increase, but I lost certain free things that were part of my plan. The NorthStar app works. I don't use the ADT app.

We have had three problems here within the last month and a half. Two of them are pretty much the same thing. We got an error message on our phones that said that the device had not contacted the main service in 24 hours. Then I got another error message for another one of our phones. My daughter and I are the only ones that use the alarm to set it and unset it because my husband goes out after us and comes home before us. When we called to try to get that taken care of, I spent over three hours on the phone with two different people and neither person did anything.
They had us go over here, then they had us go out to the garage. But anything they said never got rid of the messages. In both times, they said, "Well, this is gonna probably take 24 hours for it to clear." The first time, it cleared within 24 hours, but it came back within 24 hours after that. The second time, I was ticked and didn't call them right away. They don't know what they're doing. When I called the second time, the rep was on the phone with me even longer and admitted that she didn't know what the problem was, and didn't know how to fix it. So I convinced her to send a tech out to the house.
The guy that came out was very nice. He got the two error messages wiped off of our phones and they stayed gone for about a week to 10 days, but then they came back. While he was here, I told him we were also interested in upgrading the system, moving one camera, and putting another one at the front door. But he never addressed that at all. The only thing they cared about was the error message. As he was leaving, I asked him about the upgrade and he said, "Oh, you'll have to call back the sales and have them contact you." So I have to talk to Fred to talk to George to talk to Colleen, and it goes on forever.
I called ADT last week and my contract expires in October 2025. If I quit sooner than that, I have to pay 80% of that. That's kinda stupid and a rip-off. So I tried one more time to call and said, "Look, you're gonna look that I've been on the phone quite a bit with people. And they haven't done a freaking thing about my issue. I want to stop talking about my issue. Because if I upgrade and get a whole new system, chances are it's all gonna go away anyway. So don't waste any more of my time. Talk to me about getting somebody out here to tell me how far I can upgrade." The rep proceeded to tell me, "Well, before we get into that. Can I try this?" But I told him no. Lo and behold, I spent another 45 minutes on the phone. This jackwagon did the same crap that the other 42 did. So I said, "Okay, I'm done. I have to leave. I'm done. I'm hanging up."
I told the rep to schedule me an appointment with sales. He was gonna have somebody from sales call me. But they never did. I then got an email yesterday from somebody named Randi. I put in a complaint and they responded to that and wanted to talk to me about it. They said, "Could we set aside a time in the next week or the following week?" My response was, "No, I'm waiting to get my husband scheduled for surgery. I don't know when that's going to go. I know I'm available this week." I haven't heard from that person since. I'm almost willing to lose the $500 just to get away from them. But they are the cheapest on the market, as far as what the monthly monitoring fee is. I found out from them that part of my monitoring fee pays for an insurance that will pay for a complete upgrade on my system. I'm not real happy.

We had some issues with the system that I called ADT about. The control panel was not a system that they used. It was not something that the ADT system supported. I asked about getting some things updated or changed to be more effective or efficient with my system, and they said, "No. No. Your system would have to start from scratch and do the whole thing over." That was gonna be several thousand dollars out of my pocket to get that changed over. At one point, I was looking at systems from other companies. I wanted to find something less expensive. But the cost of changing over to other companies was gonna be the same. So the only reason I stayed with ADT is it was gonna cost too much to change.
We purchased a system through NorthStar, and then ADT purchased NorthStar. When they were starting up, it didn't cost an outrageous amount of money to get things set up. So, I'm not extremely dissatisfied, but I'm not extremely satisfied either. But when we would FaceTime the support team and showed them the panel, they would help me out with what buttons to push and what to do, and that has been positive.

Months later, I bought a new door for the house and I had to take the front door alarm system off. It was off for two weeks. I called back just recently and got a great guy who told me how to put the system back on. He noticed that the time was off and said, “Oh, I can fix that for you.” I don't know why the first guy couldn't have done that months earlier, but he didn't. So, my last interaction for putting the system back on my new door was very positive, but the one before was less than lukewarm.

ADT is a good system and well-known. When you have an ADT sign in front of your house, people know what you have.

Even after replacing the battery, it didn't work. I had to go around circles with ADT. There were two visits, including them charging me $100. It turned out that the actual sensor was bad, not just the battery. Every time I had to talk to them, I had to wait 30 minutes.
The doorbell camera never functioned. The response time was so slow. 90% of the time you can't answer the door before they're gone. They tried to deal with it by trying to speed up my internet, but it's not my internet. We're canceling our ADT service effective today. I should have canceled it yesterday but you call and you end up going through some menu, you wait and wait and can't talk to anyone.

Previously, I didn't have as much equipment that I have now. Back then, I lived in a smaller place and I just had a panel. Now I'm in a big house so I have cameras, alarms and doorbells. When I first subscribed to ADT here, I didn't have all these cameras. I added a $1,000 package and they allowed me to pay $30 a month for it. That fit my budget and I was able to put cameras up so I could see my house. I was very pleased with that. However, I don't care too much for the doorbell, because I live in Buffalo and it gets really cold here. I have to take the Ring doorbell off the wall and plug it in to charge the battery.
ADT said because of the cold weather, the battery doesn't hold a charge, but it's not just sitting on the wall. It's hardwired in, so that doesn't make any sense to me. Still, I've had all positive experiences. they've come out to my house for free when I first had the problem with my doorbell. I would give them a 9 out of 10, and the only reason why I wouldn't do a 10 out of 10, is because it's hard for me to go in and pay my bill.

The people I deal with, the service reps, are all very cordial and professional. It's nice. I'm just not happy with the equipment that I have at my house currently. The machine is beeping a lot and it's very loud. When we arm it, it beeps. There's no way to quietly set the alarm at night. It's constantly disconnecting from the cellphone tower network, so then it's beeping away because it's lost connection. If we bypass the alarm with the beeping alarm, then it connects to the cellphone tower for 15 minutes, then it'll disconnect again and go back to beeping.

ADT is a respected and well-known brand. I've had a burglar alarm for 30 years and I had had other brands before, then I gave ADT a shot. We had the system hooked up not too long after we moved in, which was in August of ‘19. We've had it five years and we had the keypad replaced. I was part of the Brinks scandal, and I had them take theirs out and put in a call to ADT to put in a new panel. They put in a new modern one, which we love. It’s beautiful.
When I had the new panel installed, a fellow came out and sold me some additional things like glass break detectors, and to make sure all the FM switches were good. I felt really good about the way we upgraded the system and the way it is now. The guy was professional and he was efficient. I have nothing bad to say about ADT at all. What we didn't like before was the app took forever, but this one is very quick. It costs us money, but it's worth it. Overall, ADT is top-notch.

I knew of ADT 30 years ago, probably but the way I got engaged with them is when we bought a second home in North Carolina. The previous owners had ADT installed. We heard that there had been a spree of criminal activity up there at one time, and my wife had decided a settlement. We were not going to carry over the ADT. It was just a continued expense. But when we heard about the crime thing and we left there one day, I said, "I feel like we're setting our second house up here for robbery. So let's let's continue the ADT service." So, we continued it and it saved us in a burglary. It was 2012 that we got the home, and the burglary was in 2017, which was five years later. It was a bad situation. ADT saved the day.
There were seven homes that were broken into. What happened was, I got a call. They said, "Your alarm's gone off. Should we call the police?" I said, "Yes, please do." They did but everything was secure when the police got there. The next morning, the alarm went off again. ADT called, "Do you want us to call the police?" I said, "No, don't. But thanks for calling me." I called a neighbor. I said, "How about driving by and see if there's a strange car in the neighborhood. If there is, don't go in there. Don't approach these people but take a picture of the tag." He said, "Well, the front door is ajar. We're going in." He had me on the phone. "Yeah, we're going in." He and another neighbor were going in.
They said, "No, I don't see anything out of place." I said, "Well, I'm coming up." It's a three-hour drive from my house in South Carolina. So, I drove up. The next day, a neighbor stopped by and said, "Fred, guess what? My house was broken into." I said, "Ours was too." Then, within the next three days, we found seven houses that had been broken into. None of them were full-time. They're all part-time homes. So, some local guys down in the city there had set up a squatter in a house in the middle of the other six. What they would do is, they would raid each house, carry all the merchandise to the one they were squatting in, and then every once in a while, they could drive to town to pawnshop houses and unloaded all the loot.
ADT called me twice from those events. After the first one, when the burglars didn't break anything getting into the house because I had a lock box on one of the porch columns. They took a shovel and knocked it off and got a key to go in. So, they didn't have to break any windows or any doors, and they went in and when the alarm went off, they quickly spit out up in the woods. They sat there. They saw the police come, check all the doors, and leave. And then they came back out of the woods and said, "Oh, that little blue octagonal sign that says ADT security, that's for real." Some people put that out even though they haven't bought the service. So then they started saying, "Well, we got caught on camera." They did find a camera, and they took it and they smashed it.
When ADT called me and my wife heard me talk to the ADT, she said, "What's going on?" I said, "Well, the cabin has been broken into." She quickly went to the laptop and brought up the account on ADT. She saw the two people that broke in walking up to the front door. She got them on camera. So the next day when I got up there, I copied the clip onto my phone and took it to the Sheriff's Department. I played it for them and passed it to them. They said, "Oh, yeah, these are locals. We know who these people are." Ours was the only house that had alarm coverage and had a camera. And if the camera hadn't been there, nobody would have caught these guys.
Overall, ADT is terrific, and it's not expensive. After we got the alarm, going up there and we came back to Columbia, the previous owners had a system and it was not ADT. We called ADT and said, "Let's convert this to your system." Six months after, the cabin in Columbia, South Carolina was broken into. And again, the system deterred them from getting all the way inside the house.

I have not been too happy with ADT for a while now and I won't be staying with them any longer. I've moved from place to place with them. But it got to a point where the service has been bad. I wouldn't refer anybody to them. I've been having issues with them for years, and a lot of the times that I have issues, things are not rectified in a timely manner. As many times as I've called ADT, sat on the phone and talked with people, it starts out okay, but it ends up turning into something worse. As a valued customer, the turnaround should be faster regardless of whether they have workers that stay in my area or none. Me being without a system until they can get somebody to come down and fix it is not fair, especially when I'm still making payments every month. Even when they want to adjust or compensate, it’s still not enough for not having services.
Every time I talk to them, they tell me I've been a valued customer, but when we start talking about fixing something, it doesn't seem like I am, especially if I have to pay for something additional that should be taken care of because I've been a valued customer and they know that the systems are gonna be outdated. I don't think that I should have to pay for a battery when they know that the batteries are gonna die in the systems that they are providing for people. During the last conversation I had with ADT, I wanted to discontinue my service. But because I had an issue with them prior to that, they offered an alternative rate which then put me into another year contract. When I wanted to discontinue my service, they said I'd have to pay 200 bucks to cancel the service. That's crazy.
Another thing is what they want now is before they send somebody out, they wanna do a Zoom call. I don't think that that's very professional or timely for the customer. I'm old school and not tech-savvy. I don't work for ADT, so I shouldn't have to be having somebody tell me what to do to fix the system. They should be sending a professional out to fix the system. They don't pay me to fix my own stuff. I pay them for a service so that doesn't even make sense to me. It sounds good for the company because they save money. That means they don't have to have a whole bunch of people out there working. But it's not good for the consumer.
When you ask to speak to a supervisor or the CEO, you gotta go through all these steps. This is why things don't change. We call into ADT then nobody wants to take it a step further so we get lost in the shuffle. The people that own the business don't even know stuff like this is even going on, and neither do the supervisors. I cuss the representatives out because they're not helping me. They're more frustrating me than trying to resolve the problem, and asking me to do the work is not resolving the problem.
The reason I'm investing in ADT's service is to have service. The whole purpose is so that you're feeling confident and safe that your residence is safe when you leave home. But there were times when I would leave my house in the morning, I would call because I thought my key fob or the remote wasn't working. I also had so many issues with the app not working. Then they tell me that I need to be at home. People can't be at home. They have to be at work. ADT has gotta figure out another way to be able to fix the problem, because I would have to leave my house knowing that I don't have an alarm service. Then I would have to wait until I got home. I work a 10-hour shift so when I get home, it's after hours. Then I gotta talk to somebody that doesn't even know what they're doing because the people that do work 9:00 to 5:00.

This is a mess. If you don't mind, it's gonna take me a while to go through this, so we can come back, clean it all up, and give you a smaller box.” I said, “Wow! Cool!”
That went very smoothly and I was thrilled. It's nice to have stuff that's tidier, even though it's shut up in a linen closet. The reps were really good and professional. The only changes that I had to make were a couple of wireless additions, which they went ahead and did for me at the same time, because I had changed out to security screen doors. I knew from when we had ADT at a previous house that they won't attach sensors on normal screen doors or window screens. They'll only do it on security screens, which makes sense because people can just take a pocket knife and rip through a non-security screen.
I would tell people to go for ADT. The app is very easy to use, and I use it every day. When I've had issues, the reps have been really helpful about either taking care of it for me or walking me through how to do it myself. One time my alarm went off when I was not home, because I didn't realize that my dog in its crate would trigger the motion sensor. I learned a lot that time. Other than that, I haven't had any false alarms, at least not that I'm aware of.
Thank you so much for being such an amazing part of our ADT Family Patrica and we appreciate your feedback!

We've had ADT for 20 years. There was a time when the system went off because my father forgot the code, and the response was quick. They called and asked for the code word. All in all, we're happy with ADT. We've had the basic package since my father had the system installed, and the price hasn't changed for some time. He had somebody come out once to look at the system to see about adding cameras, but he didn't go with that. We have a few cameras, but they're not tied to ADT. My brother is a tech guy, so he did them.

I called ADT about replacing the batteries. I'm 86 years old and it's not exactly easy for me to change all the batteries that I have in the house because I've got a lot of stations. I have 10 outside doors and six sliding glass doors, plus all the windows. The customer service reps were very accommodating in sending someone to do that. They were very understanding, and while the tech was here, he decided that the thing to do was change them all so that he wouldn't have to come multiple times. It would be more efficient for him and for me if he did it all at one time. That worked well. I've been with ADT for a long time, and I'm totally secure. If someone's considering a security system, I'd tell them to call ADT and have them come out, look, and give an estimate.

I've been a member for a while now. When I decided to do this about four years ago, ADT was offering a great incentive to put the system in, but when I put it in, they quoted me something more in the thousands and thousands of dollars. I said, “Take it out. Sorry. No. I’m done.” They came back with, “Oh, no, no, no.” I said, “No. I didn't want that. I just wanted the basic. I just want something to ring if somebody comes through my door.” So, they redid it and charged me what I could afford. However, the price has gone up tremendously. I was paying 29, and I'm up to 45 now. It goes up higher and higher.
ADT doesn't offer any incentive to senior citizens, which I am. I’m sorry for everybody else that isn't a senior citizen, but I'm all about the senior citizen discount. They also don't offer things like, “Hey, do you wanna get more updated equipment?” I don't want the prices to keep going up to $100 a month ‘cause then that's when I'm getting rid of it. We don't have any connection with them. I could go and just say, “Forget this. It's too high.” I don't know what they would do with their equipment though, if they take it or not. That wasn't explained to me. Other than that, I usually set the alarm, and if somebody opens the door, it goes off, which is what it's supposed to do.

I'm done with ADT. The first few times I dealt with them, the people didn't know what I was talking about or put me to somebody else and I got hung up on several times. I asked for a callback on a service call, and I never got one. My window alarms work fine, but I've had nothing but problems with the cameras.

I have a camera out now, and it's been over a month. I've called three times and I keep getting the same stuff, "We'll get a tech to you. We'll make a phone appointment."

Having ADT is a family thing. My mom always had it in our home. So when it was time for me to have my own home, it was not a question. It was always based on the relationship that my mom had with the representative who introduced it to her. So, we continue to use the same rep. The sales rep that I have worked with and that we've worked with has always been personal. I've asked him, “I know that you've got other clients. How is it that you just work with us as if we're your only -- just really get to understand the ins and outs of the needs of our family?” He was very personable, and always professional. We knew we could talk to him and he would clarify or point in the right direction. Or, “I know this is what's important to you, so here's maybe what you wanna consider.” Always more of a consultant than sales at any point in time.
I live in a different state from where my mom did. She passed away. Our rep came to her funeral. Spoke. Shared. This is real, through and through, a part of our family. And that's why I recommend more so the rep. It's who he represents, and he does a great job. ADT does a great job. I've recommended them over and over. Even when it came time for me to move to a different state, I said, “No. I know who I'm staying with. I know what I'm doing. When my mom passed away and I inherited our family home, I kept the service.
Two days ago, an ADT representative did something that was not what I expected. I'm more hurt than angry. ADT is on the up and up, very clear, integrity-high. What happened in that call was I had to let ADT know my mother's house is sold. I don't own it anymore. So, there was no need for me to have the service. We offered it up to the new owners. They said they were interested, but they never followed through with that. My same sales rep, my same consultant, my same buddy Rob went out and tried to connect with them on over six occasions. I had to make the decision at this point that I needed to cancel because I'm paying for something that's not mine. It's not my home.
Knowing that there was a contract, that was fine, I will do what I need to do. Let's do this right. The representative on the phone from the loyalty department assured me, “Ma'am there is no contract. Zero contract. And not only that, you are a loyal customer, so your home in Lynchburg, Virginia where you live, you actually have loyalty points that will bring your monthly down from $50 to $31.99.” “Are you sure?” “Absolutely.” “Are you positive?” “There's no doubt. We thank you so much. There will be an agreement that'll be coming through your email for three years.” I said, “Okay. Yes, I'm gonna stay for three more years.” I've been with them for nine. My mom had been with them for over that. That was a no-brainer for me.
We could have just said it that way from the beginning, because when I called Rob and I told him, he said, “Wendy, there was a contract on your mom's house. There's never not a contract with ADT. All she did was she transferred it over to yours and called it a loyalty.” I said, “That didn't feel right.” I would have been happy to say yes. If that's the way to do it, great! But I was prepared to pay the 600 and what odd dollars and keep doing what I was doing.
Yesterday, I got a text message and an email that said, “Your final bill for 600 and…” “Excuse me? So now ADT has extended my contract on my home for three years, and I still have to pay the -- oh, that's dirty.” I'm upset about that. I reached out to my rep to say, “This is not how it's ever been. This is hurtful.” He felt so bad. He said, “Wendy, let me walk this out. Don't raise your blood pressure. You've gone through enough. Let me figure out what's going on. This is not how that should have gone. I don't know what happened.”
I have his direct, so I sent him the text that I forwarded on the text that I received. I trust him immensely, so I'm waiting to hear back what. And he asked me to just leave it in his hands and he committed to me that he would get an answer back and get to the bottom of this. I'm the only person in my circle who has ADT. I've recommended it to others. My family told me, “Just get a gun. You don't need…:” But it’s what is important to me. I feel secure with the system. I can access it from where I am. It has felt good. It's what makes me feel confident. But my mom would have been so disappointed in where we are.

We've had some good and some bad experiences with ADT. The technicians that come out here have done very well except for the person who originally installed it because he installed it and told us where he was going to put things. And then we realized there might have been a better place for him to install this in our kitchen. He put the console in our kitchen that took up two of our outlets because it was so large. You couldn't use the second one in it. But the gentleman who came out to aid our problem was good. You don't wanna talk to the people on the phone. They're nice enough people, but they directed us to do ridiculous things. So far, we've been with ADT for one year and three months. And they signed us up for a two-year contract that we weren't aware of when we moved in here.
When the technician came out to fix the problem when one of the sensors had gone out, it was on a holiday. The sensor went out, and the alarm went off. We called in. The rep told us how to negate the one thing that failed, but we didn't realize at the time that that made it so you couldn't walk out of the house because it set it off again at 7:00 in the morning when we tried to put our cans out. She didn't mention that part of the problem. Then, it took four weeks to get someone to come out. And in the interim, we dealt with turning it on and off to try and keep the alarm from going off. Four weeks went by. Finally, the technician came out. He was able to decipher what needed to be done right away. But by that point, we were saying it's four weeks, and we’d like to just continue the service because I thought it was a per month thing, and we were informed at the time that it was until June of 2025.
We either arm the system or disarm it. In the case of the failure in the middle of the night, I called them. The next morning after the alarm had gone off when we opened the door by accident because they didn't tell us it was gonna set the alarm off, it took several hours to have someone call back. Evidently, with these alarm systems, if something like that fails and you override it, you have to keep turning it on and off like that to get in and out of the house. It's just how it's designed, which is poor as far as I'm concerned.

He did everything from his phone. I got charged for 275 bucks. I nearly lost my mind when that happened. The first thing he told me when he got there was, "There will be no negotiating on this service call charge." I said, "Okay. I understand." But it had nothing to do with anything that I did or my equipment. It was all ADT's equipment.
I got low battery alarms. I changed the batteries and I still couldn't get the alerts to go off. So, I'm not gonna check with them. If somebody from ADT wants to call me and say, "We'll come out there and take care of that and it'll be on us," I'll let them out there. But I'm not gonna call them anymore and have those guys come out. He couldn't do it remotely, if all he had to do was look into the system on his phone. I got fiber optic Wi-Fi.

I think I drove the fellow that installed my ADT system nuts because it would be online, then it would be offline. I'd call him up on his personal phone. He would fix it with whatever magic he worked from his end of the thing, and it would work again. So, it was good. He was a nice fellow. As a matter of fact, he put in the doorbell that I've got to go out and change the battery.
I have two cameras. I have all of the little sensors and whatever that are in the house. They put in more sensors than I knew. I come home one morning shortly after it had been done. When you go out of my back door, you walk into my garage. There is another door through the garage into the patio which leads outside, and I had pulled the door closed but not tight-closed. The windows in the patio were open and the breeze blew, and it opened the door too far. So, when I come home that morning at 8 o'clock, I've got two sheriff deputies at my house for no apparent reason. But I didn't know this thing was on the back of the door. So, I told them, “This will never happen again.” And we were good to go. So, ADT works.
Overall, I don't have a problem with my system. A strange thing happened here three weeks ago. Down in the area between New York City and New Jersey was an earthquake. It happened on a Wednesday morning and I'm 130 miles away from New York City, so it didn't affect us. That Saturday, I'm sitting in my master bedroom, and all of a sudden, everything in this house started going, “Beep, beep, beep.” And then it's like, “What in the hell am I hearing?” So, I went out in the kitchen. In the meantime, ADT had called to see if there's anything going on here at the house. I couldn't get to the phone fast enough. When I got to the phone, the lady who had left a message, I couldn't understand what it was that she had said about, “Call this number.”
So, now I come back in to look and look up the number. In the meantime, my phone's ringing. My son's on the other end of the line. He said to me, “Are you okay?” I said, “Yes.” Now, he's got ADT on his line because when they couldn't get ahold of me, they called him in Tennessee. So, we were trying to figure out what's going on, and nothing's registering. By the time that the sirens finally went off and I managed to shut all of that noise, it was fine.
Sean said when ADT called him, he looked to see, because I've got two sets of sliding glass doors that are at 90-degree angles from each other that go out onto my deck. So, he had looked there. He had looked out in the car port. He didn't see anything that looked askew or anything that was wrong. He couldn't figure it out. I've been in the house. The house was locked. The system was on, and I didn't know what was going on. The light bulb dawns about two days later, and I called him back. I said, “Probably what happened was that the tremors from New York City had finally made their way west just enough to jar the house.” It did not jar the house bad enough to make any glass rattle or pictures fall.
I was sitting in the bedroom, and not a thing in this world was going on in this house, ‘cause I come out to look and see what had caused all this commotion. And the only thing I can figure is the earth shook just enough to set the system off. And when they could not get ahold of me, they got ahold of him. Then he looked at the cameras ‘cause he's on with me so he can see what's going on here. He couldn't find anything wrong. I couldn't find anything wrong. And that's the only other thing it could have been.

We've had ADT for years. The only thing I didn't care for was my last issue with them. I had to change the battery. I couldn't find it. I didn't know where it was. And the person that was supposed to do a virtual call with me called late and I had already left the house. I had company. I did a follow up one and got someone, and the guy wouldn't listen to me. He was quite rude. I did fill out a survey about him because I found him to be incredibly unprofessional. I'm 70 years old, and to be treated like that by some young punk really irritates the dickens out of me. He was talking to me like I'm an idiot. Then I ended up with a gal who explained to me how it worked. It turned out to be cool. We went out into the garage and the unit that I thought was part of ADT turned out to be part of the system that Dick had had previously. It had just never been removed. That was why when I kept changing the battery, it didn't work. She thought so, too.
She was thinking, "Gosh, it doesn't look like one of ours." So, we were doing the camera all around the door. I had stepped in an unusual spot and saw this little teeny thing of white. Sure enough, we found it but I would have never found it normally, because it was behind the rail that the garage door opener goes up on, without somebody coming here and knowing what to look for. It was pure luck that I even found it. If I had spent hours trying to get the thing apart to get the battery, I could have done it. But I want a technician here. I pay my bill. I should be able to have a technician, and the gentleman showed up. He was a sweetheart.
He told me to call and say they need to get this charge taken off my bill because it took him 13 minutes to change the battery. But I was still charged over 100 bucks for his visit, because he drove out and took care of the battery. It was my battery. So, I didn't have to pay for that. But that's the only thing I've had with them. Normally, I can have a visit and I don't have to pay. So I was really astounded that I had to pay for that particular thing. The thing is, it wasn't my fault. I couldn't find the unit, and neither could the person on the other end of the phone. In my opinion, they're wasting time. They're paying for this person's hourly wage, my time, and it's all wasted because they're using a phone and a video. I find that incredibly stupid.
Other than that, I've not had bad luck with ADT. It has more to do with dealing with their equipment. I understand, if you have somebody come out here all the time, sure, you're gonna wanna charge the person for their services. But if it's something like what I just went through, $100 was ridiculous, and it wasted my time twice. The lady that did the video part was very interesting and extremely helpful. And she understood, first, that I was being extremely cautious. I really appreciated her. She got me somebody here quickly, and I appreciated that too.
We're so very sorry to learn of the aggravation you experienced contacting ADT about your battery issue but are so glad to hear the trouble has been resolved. ADT is always here when you need us, and we thank you for your feedback and review.

The lady that came offered me something that ADT didn't have. Everything I asked, she was, “Oh, yeah. Of course. Yeah. You can do it. Oh, in the app? Just go ahead. You'll tweak it. You'll change it. You adjust it. You just change the settings. Everything is fine.” I got the system installed, and none of that was true. I wanted to cancel the contract but it's very hard. Once you're in, you're screwed. I spoke with different people. Finally, I was able to speak with the regional manager, and he said, “I don't know why she did this,” and told me that he was would give me an SVR for free and I wouldn't have to pay for as long as I kept the service. Because usually, that carries an extra fee a month.
I got that, so I was happy because I was able to get somewhat the service that I expected. But ADT doesn't have the best service. When it comes to technology, they are very lacking even though they are trying to adjust. My experience is riddled with technical and customer service problems. The equipment is not reliable. I know because I had to get Google cameras. And I have Google cameras inside my house besides the cameras that I have from ADT outside my house. I was in Spain and I was able to connect to the Google cameras no problem on my cell phone. Meanwhile, every time I try to do the same thing with the ADT cameras, problems. They cannot tell me that it’s my router. We're talking about the same phone, the same router, the same Wi-Fi. The only difference was the cameras. Sometimes, the cameras record. Sometimes, they don't.
I just had a problem with ADT again because the SVR stopped working. I spoke on the phone with ADT a couple of times last week, and I was promised that they would replace the SVR. This guy came this morning. He told me, “You're not gonna like it, but we don't carry the SVR anymore. We don't offer it. We don't service it. Nothing.” I said, “Yeah, but nobody told me.” He said, “We were told that we're not gonna carry this long time ago. So, I don't have anything to give you.” The SVR is right there on the floor. He didn't even wanna take it because he said, “You may have to return it.” He was able to make my cameras work, but no SVR anymore. So, I'm not happy. If they would discontinue a service, they should say, “You should let the customer know and not just drop the service,” and not, “You're on your own. Figure it out.” It's not a good business practice.

We've had ADT for a long time, and the system seems to work okay. It's helping to guard the property, keeping people from coming in. It's doing its job. When we set it to in case anybody breaks in, it's probably doing its job at night. Also, when we're away, I think it's doing its job. It's been twice when the alarm went off and we weren't home. One time, an interior door that also has an alarm on it was not completely latched, and somehow it blew open. It caused the alarm to go off and they called me as well as the police about the same time, and that was good. There have been a couple of times they've called the police and that's what's expected. I don't give them any extra points for that. Overall, ADT is a big company, and they are responsive. They're doing their job.

When we bought this home, ADT was the original company that put in the overall system. We put in ADT when we purchased the home. So, we've had ADT for years.

ADT is good and reliable but expensive. They need to work on the cost because ADT is good but not the greatest. There are other systems. ADT should be more cost-friendly because with economics and the way things are, everybody wants to feel safe. But they can still offer a good product and make it economical for everyone. We were with ADT and we left them because another company came, did the same thing, and offered us better rates. When they came and wanted us to go back with ADT, they changed the cost. Of course, the cost has gone up since then, and we have not taken the time to go out and find another security program, because we paid too much after what we were paid before. They're not any better than anyone else. They're just more costly.
One of the worst things that can happen is that you change your internet company. The camera that they put on the house was gone six months, because we didn't realize that when we changed out and upgraded to a new system, the camera no longer worked. We didn't realize because no one notified us that we were longer captured people coming up the driveway or people coming to the home. We discovered there was something not right, and that was when we started troubleshooting the problem. We had to call the company to get some assistance. The instructions that they tried to give us online were not very good either.
We had problems with the panel and I had to call ADT. As we messed with it and talked with the person, we eventually got it back online so it's working now. But it wasn't a pleasant experience. Customer service could have been better. It always pays to be polite to people even when you have a bad day. They act a little superior. They should. That's their system. They know it. We're learning the system. People have to be patient with people. But they should not talk to people like they're idiots. Show respect. And when my son and I had to put the camera back online, it wasn't a pleasant experience that we had with the person on the phone. But that was some time ago. That was within a year that we fixed the camera.
I'm happy with what I have because we have a camera that takes pictures. We have the doorbell. I have a doorbell Ring that's tied into the camera. And we also are tied into the local police if there was a real emergency. Also, people have responded to when we have accidentally hit something on the alarm, and they have called us and verified. So, we're pleased with the way everything is set up.

Get ADT. It works. We've had it for a long time. We have always liked it. It seems to work well. We have it in our windows, and the glass break. We have everything, and even in the garage for our garage door. We had ADT come out to a different home and we moved to the house we're in now and continued to enjoy the product. When we had issues, we called. They were resolved.
The installation went well. The tech was knowledgeable and talked to us about everything. However, there was a bit of miscommunication. At first, we would put them inside and outside, but we changed our minds, called and said, "Never mind." We already had some other things out there and thought it was silly to use all that money when we have already got something that is working. ADT messed up on the bill and forgot to adjust it. But they straightened it out.
Thank you for the review and feedback. We greatly appreciate it.

Last November, the experience with the reps was hell. I was out of state for three years, returned home, tried to do the upgrade because I've been notified years prior after I moved that there was an upgrade. But whenever I returned to my home, I made an effort to arrange an appointment. ADT said there was no time that they could send someone in during my short visit to put this gadget on digital monitoring. So, when I returned to South Carolina in November of last year, I immediately began the process of trying to get this gadget added to the system. ADT gave me two appointments. Nobody called because they would walk me through the process.
One Saturday, I had a 9 o'clock appointment. I was ready to go. Nobody called. So, I waited an hour, I called ADT, the young lady assured me that somebody would call me at 3 o'clock. That was my whole day waiting on ADT, and I waited again. Nobody called. ADT needs to take note that when they give somebody an appointment, they need to call and say they couldn't do it. Don't have me waiting in my house all day. I was stupid enough. I stayed there and waited. I live by myself, so this was very important to try to correct whatever was wrong. They gave me another date and time, and I had it.
Something went off. I called ADT, the woman told me to get on a ladder. I'm 68 years old. Another time it did the same thing, and that person told me to get back on the ladder again. My daughters were furious. I called, put my foot down and told ADT to come get their stuff and get out of my house. Because they're not the only vendor that provides the alarm service. That seemed to put some fire in the furnace. A very nice gentleman came out. Everything went well, thus far, since then. But the nerve of ADT telling me to climb on a ladder, take a screwdriver, bend something down, take batteries out, all that I thought was ridiculous. They should not have people getting on ladders. If I fell, who am I gonna sue? And living alone, I could have been down there on that floor with an injury. Could have been unconscious. Other than that, my system works well. I would encourage others to use ADT as a vendor.

The person who came, came way after I called myself and got everything set up. They did it over the phone, because I had a system in already. So, I just had to be prompted what to do in order to get my services working. A representative called and walked me through what to do. I had to open up windows, close windows, to make sure that the signal will let me know, from ADT, if my alarm worked.
An ADT representative came a month later and knocked on my door. He told me that I was supposed to have gotten ADT for the first year. I don't know if it was free or discounted or because I moved in a new home. I was, “Wow. You just now coming?” I said, “Because I got ADT already.” I said, “I called them myself to get the service. So, be as though I am a new homeowner, and you're telling me that this was supposed to have been a part of my welcome package or whatever if you wanna call it? And could I get it now?” He said, “No,” because I called it in myself. I wanna know why I didn't get those things that the rep talked about because I should have.

Before I got ADT, the reps sold it to me telling me how great it was. I said I have a small dog and a cat and I asked if they were gonna set off the motion detectors. I was told they were not big enough. They have to be of a certain size and mass to raise the ambient room temperature a certain number of degrees in order to trigger that. It's not just purely motion. So, it was alright. But it seemed like at first, every time I left the house, my alarm was going off. And to make it worse, I was in places where I didn't have my phone. So when the alarm went off and ADT called, I didn't know anybody was calling me. They called my son and told him they were getting an alarm at my house and asked if they should send the police, and he would say yes. They were false alarms and I never figured out whether it was the dog or the cat setting it off.
Eventually, after about four false alarms, I got a letter from the sheriff's department saying I gotta get the alarm system fixed. Because if they have to go out on another false alarm, they were gonna start charging me. I called ADT and told them what was going on. They told me that my dog or cat wouldn't set it off. The lady on the other end of the line said a bug can set it off if it flies in front of the motion detector. I asked why they told me it wouldn’t and she said to sell me the system. I appreciated her honesty, but I would have appreciated it before I bought the system.
ADT sent somebody out and he turned one of the motion detectors upside down so it didn't pick up stuff low on the ground. But it was still a problem if the cat jumps or the dog jumped up on the back of the couch, it would be up high enough. So now, I can’t fully use the system. I set it at night and I don't use the motion detectors. But I had to keep that part of the package because of the other features that I wanted like the ability to use the mobile app on the phone. I stayed with it and it's been okay. It made me angry that they lied to me and sold it to me under false pretenses. But it gives me some peace of mind. So, that's good.
I retired recently and the package is a bit expensive to maintain all year. So, I called and told ADT that I was thinking about discontinuing it because my income had decreased greatly. They offered me a reduced rate for six months and then once it’s up, I'm back to what I was paying before. So far, I'm able to do it by the grace of God. I don't know how I'm managing because if I looked at it and sat down and planned to budget, I'd find out that I can't afford what I'm doing. But so far, so good.
For a while, I had a problem because they sent me this do-it-yourself kit to upgrade from 3G to 4G in the device that communicates with the cell towers and transmits the signals. It wasn't working right so, I called ADT and they were gonna send somebody out. They said they were waiting for parts to come in. They hadn't anticipated how big a demand there was gonna be for these upgrades. It took about six months to get that all straightened out. They told me initially I gotta have the upgrade or else my system was not gonna work. But then they said it would be fine until they got the new part and not to worry. With the economy the way it is, it’s getting to I can't even afford to stay in my home. I'm seriously considering selling it and moving to an apartment where I wouldn't need an alarm system.

When we got the system, a friend of mine from high school was with ADT. I called him, he came over and got the system for us and got it put in. It was a wonderful experience. He's a terrific guy and he did a great job for us. ADT comes to the house to update certain things with the system that needed to be updated. For instance, it went from being connected to just the power lines to being connected to the internet. ADT had to come out and change something out when that happened. And my interaction with their people has always been very good.
One time, we had a power outage and the system beeped like crazy. It drove my wife and I nuts. We called ADT and had a lot of interaction and a lot of problems with getting the system to shut down. That was many years ago. We did not get a lot of accurate information from ADT's people. It was the middle of the night, and we had a lot of issues at that time. I didn't worry about it. It got fixed and everything was fine. The system beeped if someone opened the door at night. If they turned it off and opened the door, the system would beep. We also had a panel in our bedroom that we could look at any time and see if the system was armed and if all the doors were closed. Those helped us.
My power has been off for seven hours. As soon as the internet came on, the system came right back and I've had no issues. I didn't have any beeping. I didn't have any issues with ADT while it was off for seven hours. A number of years ago, my next door neighbor wanted an alarm system and I recommended ADT. We went through there, and they gave me some kind of gift. My neighbors have ADT too, and they've been very happy as well.

I was finally told there was a mix up and they accidentally set up two accounts in my name.
After I thought I had fixed this situation, I was charged $176 for early termination. This was also an error as I didn’t terminate my contract, I only had it transferred to my new place. I called again and after being passed around to several different agents, I was then told it was yet another mistake on their part and that I would have to wait 48 hours for them to research and then another 5-7 business days at least for a refund. I kept asking for a supervisor or regional manager but I was told they were not available.

I've had a few interactions with ADT, and the one that stands out the most was that they called me when I was out of town because my alarm system was going off and they asked me if I needed them to call the police. I was like, "Well, yeah, that's the reason I pay y'all." What happened was one of the sensors on the window had fallen off. Then the alarm went off. There should be some sticky things to stick it back up. ADT never called me back. So, I got a family member to drive over there because it was going off and I got them to turn it off. The cops pulled up just to do a check, but I had a family member go over there, and that was when they found the sensor on the window.
I've had a sensor fall off on four window. When they first came out to install it, they didn't even bring out the equipment that I ordered. I ordered sensors for every one of my windows, my front doors, the fire or smoke, motion sensors, and everything else. When they came out, they didn't bring the motion sensors. They said, "Well, instead of us putting the motion sensor, we're just gonna put you a glass breakage thing 'cause we don't have no motion sensors." I was like, "Well, that's not what I ordered it." But that was all they had, so they went ahead and installed the glass breakage. So, originally, when I first ordered the system, I didn't even get what I paid for.
Right now, I'm in the process of looking at different options with my security system. I had nothing but trouble out of the ADT system since I've had it. I've had it for four years. Right now, I have about four things bypassed on it. Other than being at home and hearing the doors open and close, I don't use the system right now because of the problems I've had, even though I'm paying for service deal. I'd tell others that unless it's the last option, I will look at all variables or systems before I make the decision to go with ADT.

They had very clear expectations for us and they met well with us when they installed the system. Everything in the initial half was very clear. It's great. However, after the system was installed, we had a lot of issues with ADT.
They have really bad customer service and communication and then they have incorrect pricing. They stuck us into a contract and they made us pay for two systems. We told them initially that we were moving homes in the next eight months, and they knew that. They said, "Hey, you can take your system from one house to the next." Our understanding was our billing wouldn't go up. Then when we moved from house to house, in their contract, which is hidden, we had to purchase an entire new system for our new home. So, now, we're locked in for three years paying for two systems and two monitoring contracts because they didn't let us know. It's horrible. Right now, we're out thousands of dollars on two systems when we only needed one.
I've told people to stay away from ADT and to go to self-service systems with no monitoring fees. I also reached out to their IR department and let them know how I felt and I wrote them an honest letter. Being in the corporate world, I know that IR rules. Even their IR feedback wasn't great.

When I need service, which I need right now, but they say that if I'm not comfortable climbing a ladder, they have to send somebody to do that. And then getting an appointment to get somebody to come to your house and to have them show up at the time, and they're ill concerned about that. I work in the city, and therefore can't be at their beck and call. And then they charge more expensive to come at night or Saturdays. And then the technician gets here and goes, “Oh, my God. You have such an old system.”
Right now, the cameras work but they don't record the clips, which is useless. Our alarm went off one day last week, and we couldn't get a clip to see how the door opened. Nothing was stolen, but the police came. So, I think the ADT signs spook regular burglars, so they don't bother your house as much as they do houses that don't have security systems. But once ADT sells you the system, they just send you monthly bill and that's it. They're not proactive about upgrades. As a company, they're, “Let's sell you the system and then we go to the next guy to sell.” And for me, they haven't even called to upgrade, which is fine. But they're sell and go.

When I had a problem with ADT, somebody came by and either updated or replaced the monitor. But that was at least five years ago. Dealing with the installation team has been infrequent. The installers would come and it would be a short and casual conversation. They would accomplish what they needed to accomplish. I've been a customer for many years and I’m happy with the package that I have. I've been thinking about updating my service though. My box is old and I was thinking about video cameras. But I haven't got to that yet.

My experience with ADT is not good. Their equipment falls off the doors and windows. I called to get somebody to come out to service it or to check it.

I put ADT in my old house in Oshkosh after my husband died because I lived out in the country in the middle of nowhere and I was terrified to stay out there. When I moved here to the forest, I put it in for the safety part of it. I like ADT. If the alarm goes off, I like that somebody is gonna call and check on me. When I moved into this house, it wasn't responding. I had to call them and the service person I spoke with was great. However, with all the years I've had them, nobody's ever called to see if there should be an equipment update or if there was anything that needed to be updated. But everything is fine.

The ADT system serves its purpose. It's adequate. But my problem with ADT is that any time anyone wants to get anything done, you have to commit to years of service. If I had them come in to replace the panel door on my alarm system, which broke off years ago, I'm sure they would want to require that I commit to another two years of membership, which is why I don't bother calling them.

A house I bought about four years ago could only utilize ADT. The system was already there. So, to get it turned on, I was almost forced to go with ADT. A year ago, after three years of having ADT, I called about updated cameras and they were telling me I got the latest equipment in my house. That was really bad. I had the cameras for three years. ADT didn't do any upgrade on their camera system in three years.
I called there a few times trying to get some help because of what happened to the house. My pin wasn't working. It took a lot of people to try to resolve the problem. Overall, I'm not happy with the system. I find it sad that they're telling me that there was no upgrade in the camera system, which I've seen other companies who do have a better camera system. It's sad that they didn't want to. They claim that I had the best cameras. I do find that sad.
I do think they should invest more in the customer service branch. When I called there when I couldn't get my pin, it took three people to figure it out. Meanwhile, I'm on the phone with people asking me the same questions over and over and it was taking forever to accomplish something. I don't know if these people are working from home and they got too comfortable or they're in the office and just haven't been properly trained. But either way you look at it, it was really bad.

It's not been very positive with ADT. On the first day, the alarm system worked. On day number two, I opened and closed the door to test the system and the monitor above the door of the master bedroom fell off the wooden trim, where the monitor was affixed. The alarm system went off and I had to locate the password that I gave to the person who did the installation. I taped the monitor back up after learning what to do, with the system blaring for half an hour. I taped it up, but the monitor never made a connection with the system.
Now, the back door does not register on the alarm system because of the angle of the trim above the doorway and if you were to move the little monitor down further, it would probably hit and fall off again. There's no way to connect the system with the monitor. It just doesn't work. The problem is an incompatibility with their system and they were not around long enough to see that it would be a problem. They taped everything up and they left. The quality is not there in terms of durability and getting them to come back has been like pulling teeth. It's impossible to get them to come back to repair their system.
In order to get one of their people to come and service their system, they have to get a district manager or something to approve the work. Getting through all those hoops, you'd never get a call back for an appointment when it can actually happen. Then, when you call ADT and tell them that you need service, they wanna refer you to a YouTube page and a self-help page so that you could do the work yourself. They're selling unserviceable junk. It's been one year and I'm not sure what to do at this point. I think it would be easier to go with another company that can do a full installation of another system and now I know what to look for when the system is installed.

I've had a lot of interactions with ADT. Unfortunately, the product that they put in my house never was set up right. I have a keypad that was put on the wall and it has no functionality. They wanted to charge me $200 to fix it when it should have been done right the first time. And because it left the 90-day retailer franchise location and that was at main ADT, they wanted nothing to do with it. Also, the person that I bought it from.
It's frustrating. Nobody was too keen on helping me. The first guy who came out to my house to install the security system, we did not have a lot done. We had some contacts put in, but nothing over the top. He was there for over six hours and couldn't finish the job. Somebody else had to come back out and he still could never get that second keypad to work and that was a year ago. It still doesn't work.
There needs to be a booster between the two keypads and that should have been installed initially. No one ever installed it. Once I finally realized what should have even been there, they were like, "$200 for someone to come out and the part is 100." I was like, "Nope.” They lost me there. There was no flexibility. They didn't have a brain and they could only read the script that they were given. If it ran out of that, they didn't know what to do. It was very black and white. It's not my fault that some incompetent person who was very likely under the influence of drugs or alcohol was at my home tearing ** up is what he did. I have a calendar reminder to remove my service because it was that poor of an experience.

I love ADT. It covers the house from break-in, smoke, and carbon monoxide. It seems like every time we make a boo-boo, before we can turn around, they are on top of it.

That's why we keep dragging them with us everywhere we go.
We didn't do a sales rep when we sold our house. They sent a tech over to put it in the new house. We talked to somebody on the phone. The experience was positive. There was no sale. It was like, "Hey, what program can we get while we're renting?” “Hey, we suggest this. Blah, blah, blah.” Then a very nice man came over and set everything up. He was super friendly, super sharp, made a really clean installation, and was gone. He was like Santa Claus. When we move, we're gonna take ADT with us.

ADT has not been great. Because there were so many problems, they said they weren't gonna charge me for the first two months. I ordered another panel several months ago. It has not come. I called ADT and they said, "We don't have the order." I said, "I ordered it from your salesperson." No one bothered to take the order or to check into it. So, it's just gone. No one cares. Then I had some problems with my panel. Sometimes when I go in, it takes three times to get it to turn off. I called and I said about that. No one has bothered to schedule to come out and look at it. I thought when they brought my new panel would be a good time to look at it, but I don't think my new panel is even ordered.
So, there's so much confusion and disconnect that I'm really not terrifically happy with ADT. When it works, it works. I'm getting ready to go away for two weeks and I will turn it on and hope it protects my home. When they put the system in, the guy said, "Oh, just call. If you have any problems, we'll be right there." When I called and I had a problem, no one was right there. When ADT sells, they make nice promises. But when it comes to going through, they haven't followed through. The installation person did a good job. The sales person hasn't followed through on the order. As far as pricing, it was expensive but I called different companies, and I'm very hard of hearing. ADT was the only one that said they could accommodate that. Sure enough, they put things around the house so I could hear.

ADT has been around a long time. It's a recognizable name and I've had it for years. It has served me well. It's been a very few times that I really had to deal with their customer service with an upgrade, but they've always been helpful, prompt, and available when I needed them. It's easy to get in contact with a rep. I like the whole security system. ADT is a great service and me being a retired person, the cost of having a system is reasonable. Whenever I use the system or set it, whether I'm here or away, I feel confident that my property is protected.

Initially, ADT tried to sell me all kinds of stuff I didn't need. It was annoying. Then I bought stuff I regret buying. I spent about $1500 unnecessarily. The service has been lame. I was an hour and a half away on a three-day vacation at the ocean then got a notice that my door was unlocked. At 10:30 at night I had to drive back home and lock my front door then drive back to my location. I had problems with the service numerous times. At 10:15 at night, my door used to unlock. We'd be in our house sleeping then I would wake up at 5:00 in the morning and there'd be a note on my phone that the door was left unlocked at 10:15. One night, I was sitting in a chair in the living room up late and I heard my door unlock at 10:15. I have no idea why it was doing it and ADT doesn't have any explanation. It happened eight times but it doesn't do it anymore. Whatever the glitch was, ADT figured it out.
The system works but there are too many glitches. The alarm is too sensitive. The police had been at my house three times and they told me, "If this happens again, we're gonna charge you for coming out here," so we just shut the thing off. It was always, according to ADT, our fault. All we have is the electronic front door now. I should cancel the service. I haven't had a good experience with ADT. It's always frustrating to work with them. They offered me referral fees if I give them a referral to somebody. But that's not ADT. That's a vendor that works for them that installs their systems and that's a disconnect, too, 'cause ADT is the alarm system and they subcontract this out to these guys. One of them I met was less than scrupulous. My customer had a bad experience with them so I don't refer them anymore.

Their response to alarms going off has been really good. However, lately, it seems like they're connected to someone in another country. When I get on the phone, I wanna be speaking to someone that's more familiar with where I'm at and here in the United States. Not only that, it depends upon where you're located. There are different accents and when you're trying to explain what is occurring and following up on something, the breakdown in the language makes it a little more difficult. But overall, I've been pretty much satisfied with ADT. It's a good system, but be very aware of people approaching you at your residence and claiming that they're from a different thing and they’re supposedly affiliated with ADT to come in and change components or to get in and get access to your unit. They fast talk and they'll have some sort of identification, but it's not actual ADT.
