    Our ADT system has worked like it's supposed to. I haven't had faulty things going off. They stand by their products. Their customer service has been fine. We were able to work out whatever the issue was. It was doing some weird things. I called them and they made a system check and we were good. I wish they would do a courtesy call every year or two with the latest equipment to see. Because I've had my equipment for years and no one's ever called to say, "This camera works better," or this has night vision. My system's working fine, but I would think that they would wanna check on the equipment. To me, that would be an easy way to make some sales just by offering the latest, greatest products. But ADT has done very well. I recommend them to a lot of people.

    We've been a customer of ADT for 12 years now. For a lot of years, we stayed because they were doing everything we wanted. But for the last couple of years, it's no longer true. Now, it's just because I haven't had time to find somebody else. A lot of the stuff that I've gotten from them and their options, the inside cameras, all stopped working because there was a change in our network and they all have to be hardwired to the network. They had a lot of installation people out here but nobody could make it work. They finally had to back down the level of our service. It took a little pushing, but they did eventually do that. But the problem is that's not the service that I want. But when they had to back down on the service, they did lower the price also.

    I'm not satisfied with what it does. But the service that I have works fine. I can turn my alarm on and that works fine. But because of the reduced level of what they do, there are some holes in our coverage. It's not entirely their fault that the network stuff didn't work and I'm told that they have some newer options. It's just I need to try and get ahold of somebody, which isn't all that easy, and find that out.

    The system works well. It does what it's supposed to. On those occasions when we need to switch out batteries, that would become tricky. But the support line has always been very helpful in being able to get us through it. We've been able to manage everything by ourselves and with the support line. The site is easy to use. There are certain things you can't do on the website that you have to do on the panel. It would be nice if some of those functions were available on site as well. And there are some minor issues like on the phone app clearing out.

    We had a battery problem on one of the smoke heads and it still shows it on the app as a problem even though it has been cleared in the main system. So, there are little things like that that eventually go away. But I figure as soon as it was done, it should do it. We're on a busy road, so it gives us peace of mind when we're not there knowing that if anything happened, we would get an alert. We pick up anything that comes or goes around the perimeter of the house.

    ADT has been fine. We've had no issues with them. And if our alarm has gone off, they've contacted us very quickly. Luckily, nothing was of importance. It was just something little that we could fix, and we've been very happy with them. They're fairly consistent. Their system is easy to use. The price has gone up a little, but it was not any huge increases. I have the smoke alarms. And all of my windows that I needed, they came out and did, and my exterior doors. They were very helpful and they put the system in in our new house four years ago.

    We arm our system every night and disarm it during the day. If we leave, we arm it. So, it's part of our security system. There was no difference in the change from another company to ADT, except when we started having problems with our landline and we changed over to have it where it went through the internet. We've had problems with the wireless system. When ADT came and said they had to update it, they had to use their analog system, that was when we had lots of problems. I have not been satisfied with the new system. I liked the old analog much better and had fewer problems. When it was the old analog system, it did everything I wanted it to do.

    My experience was okay with ADT. I've had this for less than a year. I probably have five sensors that are down right now. I mentioned it, and we really hadn't resolved. I made one or two calls. None of the issues were really resolved. So, I don't know that I really felt I'm getting the bang for the buck that I was hoping for. I felt like it should have lasted at least a year. The sales representative that sold it to me and the installer were all good. They explained the product. M customer service after that, I called about a sensor, they had me open it up. The sensor broke while I was trying to open it. And they said, “Pull the batteries out. Put them back in.” We did that. It worked for a second. After that, a couple more sensors have failed.

    I called them up. I don't know what they did online, but nothing worked. I still have all these remarks about dead sensors. I felt like they should have sent somebody out to look at that because I shouldn't have five bad sensors in a year. I didn't do anything. Most of those windows I never even opened. I made two support calls, and they did some stuff on their end that didn't change it. They didn't really resolve my problems. So, I'm paying for an alarm system that isn't fully functional.

    A lot of years ago, ADT was the alarm guy that was visible. They had their little stakes in the ground at some neighbors. So I just had seen them around and they had a fairly broad brand name. The stakes in the ground were overgrown by bushes now, so it's not as prominent as it used to be. But I have on one edge of the house and there's a hedge that's probably hiding 80%. I got them originally and didn't want to have any false alarms with the police or the fire. So I don't have any automated.

    I had two boys growing up here too and they were crazy that they'd never turn it on or off. So, I just use it as a monitor in the master bedroom. Somebody opens the garage door, it says, "Garage door is open." Somebody opens a window and sliding glass door, it just says which zone and what's going on. So I really just used it as a monitor from that standpoint. ADT was very responsive. I had some alarm panel issues where I couldn't shut it off. I got them on the phone and they would walk me through it and they were very professional, pleasant, and quick about doing it.

    We had some alerts coming from the box in the house. There was some sort of system issue and turned out that there were a couple of faulty sensors. When I called ADT, the rep said there was nobody available but I could schedule a callback. So I did and it was a one-hour thing. Then, I got emails from them and text messages to be prepared and that my call was scheduled for 12:00 to 1:00. But nobody called until 1:45. The person was helpful but that was a terrible experience. And I have to do the fixes on my own, which is crazy. I've been with ADT for seven years and when I signed up, I thought the big benefit was there was more customer service than the other cheaper options out there. But it seems that's no longer the case. It seems like they're on par now with everybody else. I wonder why I'm spending so much money with ADT.

    Everyone at ADF was nice. The initial guy that came out took a long time when he first came out. It was really late by the time he finished. And then when he installed things, we weren't really satisfied with our experience at that time on the initial installation. He had to come back the next day because I had my grand babies, and I was like, “It's just time to go.” It was getting close to 10 o'clock. It was late. We hadn't eaten anything, and it was time to go. We were frustrated with the whole experience.

    He came back. He had to go up in the attic, and then he came out. He had to go to Walmart and get electrical outlet to put in the attic, which we were very disappointed because we spent quite a bit of money. It was close to $2,000 to get the equipment. And then he put like a home type of switch up in the attic so he can plug in surge protectors so he can plug it in the attic.

    We've been having some faulty transmissions. Everything inside that’s been working with those cameras is plugged into the attic up there. I called for someone else to come out, and that guy just said, “Hey, you may wanna get something a little bit stronger than what you have up in there, because it's very low. It's a low quality type item. So maybe something a little bit more durable.” But the second guy that came out was very attentive and tried everything possible to help us out.

    He followed back up with us because we had questions about that equipment. We called and we happened to get him again, and he was trying to explain to us how that works. I guess ADT just allows them to put whatever they wanna put up there and it's coming out of their pocket. So, I can understand that they're not gonna put anything very expensive up there that's a quality device.

    We were told if it goes off, if they have a power outage, we may have to go up in the attic and reset it. But that's not our thing. That was the thing that we thought it was getting a wireless device, and that we didn't have to experience all that. We don't really like going up in there. But having to do that, that takes away from getting a wireless system. We had our own Ring where we could go in, we have to change the cameras, and now we're getting kind of old to do that. But now with this thing, if you get a outage, you gotta climb up there again to turn it on. That defeats the advantage of having a wireless system.

    I have no intention of keeping up with ADT after this subscription ends because I can't use my things. I had the Nest for a while. ADT hasn't updated the app to interface with all the legacy Nest products, so the IQ cameras, or the IQ doorbell. I haven't been able to use any of my in-place items. It's not even set up. The base is not connected. I can still log into my old Nest app and set up notifications. My Nest app still works, minus the door sensors. All the ADT stuff is packed up, because I would log in, my cameras would show up in the app as unsupported. But at least my cameras work. And I get notifications that way. I can work the thermostat from there as well. So, the only thing I lost was the security aspect with the door sensors and window sensors. None of the ADT stuff is even hooked up anymore because it didn't help. I haven't been able to use it. Luckily, I didn't pay for it since it was provided by Google.

    What ADT needs is to work in those legacy objects. They got all this stuff from Google Nest, but not supporting the things that Google Nest gave. It's a software thing. The company needs to make the investment to get these things to work. There's no reason it shouldn't. I'm a programmer. If I had the time, I would come and do it for them. I don't know what agreements need to be made within the company to get it to work. The only option I was told was either buy new ones or did not have the support. The few times I've used the customer service, there was no fix for the service. I was told every time, “Sorry. There's nothing we can do. Either buy new things or there's just nothing we can do.” It put me in a weird spot.

They gave me something about the cell towers and where I live. I live out in the country, no man's land, where I'm out of state line. That was the problem with the cell towers. But ADT worked until they got my alarm fixed for me and at no cost. They came out and put in an antenna, but it took them a couple of trips to get the right kind of technician to do that. But since they did that, I have not had issues. The system is easy to use and ADT gave me a little device that I can use. I use that when I'm in my car and I don't wanna have to wait how many seconds I only have to get out once I do it. I wait until I'm in my car and use that and it makes things simple.

    We have ADT. We're in a contract, and it doesn't function. So, we just know we pay monthly for the ADT system. We stripped all the services down, so it went from $89 to $60, but it doesn't function. We requested to have someone come out and look at it, and the technician showed up. But unbeknownst to us, there was a $175 fee for the technician to come and look at the system. Not even servicing us just yet, but looking at it.

    Once we found out that it causes for a technician to come out to assess why the system isn't working, we decided to call and we tried to cancel the service and just go with Ring because we have Ring cameras in the front, and because of the contract, it costs more to get out of the contract than to keep it intact. So we decided we could reduce all the features down to the bare minimum, which is at the $60 price point. And that's where we're at now. Hopefully, we'll check in again and see if we can come out of the contract. At the time, it was 1,500 to cancel the contract.

So every few minutes, it would beep reminding me that the battery is dead.

And I couldn't get anybody on the phone to help me fix that. I would go through the troubleshooting. The troubleshooting would never be successful.

    I've had ADT for 30 something years. It secured my home. Everything about ADT is great. One day, I came in and I was putting batteries in my smoke detectors. I accidentally tried to put a battery in ADT. It put off an alarm, and the fire department and everybody was here within two minutes. By the time I called to tell them that it was a mistake, it was too late. Ad I called, it was like seconds. ADT was here and they understood what I had done. They were not judgmental.

We have one of those digital keypads. The guy came out and he was nice and quick. He got everything done and explained everything. It was perfect.

    ADT is great. I first got them in 2010 when my husband passed away and I liked it. I just have the doors and some windows, and the glass-shattering thing in my back and the front. I also have the motion detector in my front entranceway but it hasn’t worked in seven years. So, people could walk into my house if they could get in the door without it beeping and they could have a party in my entranceway. I’ve called ADT and they told me to get a ladder and get up there and point it down a little bit more. I don't know if I'm paying for it but I would like, if possible, someone to come out to give me a motion detector that works.

    I used to have a little clicker I brought upstairs and then in the morning, I would click it off so I could come downstairs. But now, I don't have to click anything off. I just come down and do jumping jacks in my front entranceway. The customer support tried to help me but it was not working and finally, I just gave up. They said they couldn't have anybody come out. It’s their equipment and I'm not gonna get up there on the ladder and try to bring it down. I probably should have changed companies because ADT's techs weren't coming out to help me and they kept on saying the system should be working but it's not.

    Still, ADT is very good about responding. My daughter was living with me about five years ago and she ran into the room and said the alarm was going off. I didn't hear it. And I said we’ll see what happens. The police called and when they asked, I told them to send somebody. When they came, I ran down the stairs to open the door and it was good. It was the vibrations from the thunder that set off the alarm on one of the windows. I like how they do call. And when I come in, it goes off and I have to code it out. It’s simple to use. I've taught friends how to do it if I wasn't home. They had to get in. So, I'm fine with ADT.

    I had a year and a half that I changed to AT&T because I figured I'd bundle it. But I said I was going back to ADT. So, they came by and put new equipment in. This was probably about eight years ago. I thought AT&T was gonna give me a better deal so, I went with them but I shouldn't have. I just should have stayed with ADT. My son-in-law has the one that you put in yourself and he's got cameras. I could have that done too, but I'm fine. All I need to know is if somebody comes in my door, it goes off. That's all I need.

    I installed ADT in my house 10 years ago. My service package is bad. I'm not satisfied at all. All the equipment is extremely outdated. It's a 20-year-old technology compared to all the other services now like Ring, Comcast and SimpliSafe. Its cameras are old. Everything is old, and I had several issues. Their network went down. Equipment was down for a month. I had no video clips recorded. And after 10 years of being a loyal customer, they couldn't offer anything at all to compensate me for that. They won't give me anything to update my cameras.

    I wanted to get something for free. They offered upgrade if I pay full price for them. So, there are no complimentary upgrades. There was no additional camera as a, "Sorry, we messed up." It was a very bad customer service model. They don't care about customer satisfaction. They only care about making money. As soon as things slow down at work, I'm gonna switch from them. They're not a good company at all. 30 years ago, they were the leader in the market in home security. But now, there's so much competition. There's so much better service that are cheaper, better, and higher quality in every way. So, ADT is not doing too well.

    I’ve been using ADT for at least five years and the security features on my package are okay and seem to be adequate. But if something breaks, ADT’s techs don't come out and fix it. We had to wait two months since I got the last thing fixed here just recently and I paid for those two months of security. Then, they charged me to come out to fix it. It’s their equipment. If you have DIRECTV or Dish Network at your house and the satellite went out and you didn't get to use it for two months, you would feel like you should get a refund. Because it's not just once. It's been a few times and they don't give a break or refund. The shortest we've ever had was a month and a half to come and it's usually at least two months.

    One other thing that drives me absolutely nuts is that I'd get an email from ADT each month saying I have a bill. Then you go to the bottom there and it says, "Balance zero dollars," and that's all it is. I pay $900 yearly, usually in March. The next month, I’d get another bill. And the next month, I’d get another bill that would say the balance is zero.

    I have an ADT system in my house. We had it in Prescott. We moved down here, and we still have it. We had it at our business, too, before that. We retired. We still have them and we're really happy with them. A couple of weeks ago, the smoke detector was beeping. Chuck took the batteries out so we could replace them and we left home to do some errands, and met a fire truck down there at the end of the road coming to our house. Our smoke detector went off when the batteries made a signal that something was wrong here. So, they're efficient and we were pleased. The firemen were really nice. We turned around and came back because our fire alarm went off. Unbeknownst to us, we took the batteries out. We can't do that. We gotta notify ADT.

    Customer support has been good to us. When we moved here to this house from Sun City West, I got a nice gal. She worked with me to get a better price, which I had before because rates had gone up. She got me a good monthly price on my ADT system, and we're happy with it. We've got everything secured. We've had them for over 35 years. It's a great system. We've never had any issues with them like billing. They call if a garage door is open. One day we were gone and one of our people left it open, and right away, I got a phone call that there was a door open into the garage. That was within a very short time of when Caroline left and a door just didn't close tightly. So, we think they're great alarm system people. We've never had any issues with them that they haven't resolved.

    My husband passed away and I had a daughter in treatment at the time and I got Social Security for her and I used that to purchase the ADT system because I didn't trust her and her friends. So that's how long I've been with it, which would be coming up to eight years. It was amazing when I first got the system. I loved it. But I hate it now. And I'm upset with myself because I’ve been struggling with this for how long now and that's $80 a month. I'm a widow and I live on my own and $80 a month is my grocery bill. I can feed myself for that. I liked ADT up until the last two years and I'm about ready to put up some other type of system because I've had nothing but nightmares with it.

    When I first purchased the whole thing, ADT was hands-on. The techs came to the house and put the system in. They came out and changed batteries and provided service when there were issues. Then, the price was $50 a month the whole time. That's all gone by the wayside. There's no customer service other than by phone and three-fourths of the time, I can't even understand the person on the phone. So, it becomes very difficult. I probably spend 100 bucks, if not more, a year for batteries and that was all included when I initially got it.

    I had some issues with my panel and it wasn't working properly and it was due to the signals. ADT’s techs installed an additional panel upstairs. So now, sometimes it will say that my panel has something wrong with it. Then, when I try to resolve it over the phone, they act like I'm stupid and I don't know what I'm talking about. It's my panel and it just becomes ridiculous. I have a home on the East Coast and when I leave to go there, I can't arm my system except from my app on my phone. Once in a while, a young man comes over and has to wash up when he mows the yard and he would say he couldn’t arm the system again. I would tell him I would do it from Myrtle Beach. It’s getting way more and more inconvenient. People should go for a different type of system. I've kept it too long. But I like the sense of knowing that there'll be a response.

    I had another security company before ADT and when they put the system in, they tested it so I would know it was working. ADT didn't do that and I really didn't like that. My whole house is supposed to be covered by the ADT system and from my understanding, when the guy put the system in, he was supposed to add the existing windows from the other security company into it to make them work too. But I don't know whether they are even working because on the pad, I only see certain windows. I see the windows from the guy who did the upgrade part of it but I don't see the windows from the previous company that they had on there. So I don't know whether ADT even covers them or not.

    So far, my lights went off a couple of times due to hurricane, because we've been hit three times, then the system said battery low and we couldn't have the alarm on. So we're not secure when we don't have any lights. One time, the alarm went off when I was shopping out of town. Their rep called me and said that one of my doors was going off. But my dad came over here and he didn't see anything. At that time, we had a little storm, so the rep was saying that maybe the storm wind triggered it. But other than that, I haven't had any false alarms. I use my alarm every time I leave my house and when I'm in here, I use it when I go to sleep. I put stay, then when I wake up in the morning, I take the stay off and I let the chime thing go. So if you open a door, it'll tell you which door is open. But I only do that with the kitchen, because that's really the only door we use. I can also open the front door and see if it's going to chime. I just never thought to do that.

    I had ADT in my up north house and I have it in my house down in Florida. I got it about eight years ago and installation is always good because they want people's money. When the ADT system in my New York house wasn't working for a month, it sucked. So, in December, I said, “I gotta have security,” ‘cause I was coming back down to Florida. I was not on a contract anymore with ADT, so I put Vivint in. I also paid the one in the Florida house, which was 600 bucks. However, ADT put me in collections. Nobody's ever called and told me I owed them money.

    I talked to this gentleman who said, “Well, you didn't close your account.” I told him I did. I dealt with a rep named Eli and he said, “Don't worry. It's all closed. I'll even save you money in your next bill for your Florida home.” Still, I had to pay the bill because I didn't want my credit screwed up. I'll never use ADT again and as soon as this year ends, they're out of my Florida house. They can kiss my butt. I hate them and if anybody tells me they're getting ADT, I'm talking them out of it.

    When the system was first installed, there were two or more installers in the area. One of them used some dated equipment. It's tan and it doesn't really go with the house. I had run into an installer and he said, “Well, that guy just uses old equipment. I would have given you the better panel. Everything would have been white.” So I called ADT several times over several years to try to see about getting it updated. But it's like I have to buy a whole new system. I was quoted the other day of almost $1,500. So, that's out of my budget right now. But the system works fine.

    I've been able to use the app to set it. If we're driving away and we forgot to set the alarm, we don't have to go back home. We just get on our phones and the app. It's very convenient to do it that way. If we're not home and someone's coming by, we can turn the alarm off for them without giving them a code. So I like the convenience and the security side of it. It makes us secure that we have it set. It gives us that protection. We have cats. So, we don't use the “Away” feature at all because we don't want a false alarm. But the flexibility using the “Stay” feature works well with our cats.

However, people are switching to their own cameras now and if the bill keeps going up, sometimes people have to do that.

    We always use the system and lock up. It tells us if a door has been left open. I feel a sense of security. I had neighbors ask me about ADT and I have recommended them. They see the sign and ask, and I tell them I have had no problems with it. I have one neighbor who has a sign in her yard.

    I most definitely like the fact that we can access everything from our phone as far as turning the alarms on and off, and we are able to lock and unlock doors. It gives us access to the Ring camera as well as the camera that I have in the back. So, no matter where I'm at, I'm able to utilize that app to check on the surroundings of my home just to make sure everything is okay. I feel safe that I will be notified. If anything was to happen, it'll be notified.

    I had to reach out to customer service when my battery died, and they helped me to make sure that I ordered the correct battery that was needed. They also informed me that if I have a technician to come out, it'll be additional money. So, they were looking out for my finances as well. I ended up replacing the battery, which was not rocket science. It was easy to do. I haven't had any issues with it ever since. The system works perfectly fine for me. ADT offers a lot of avenues of how to protect your home, whether it's the Ring camera and the alarm system, or cameras all over the house as well as cameras inside. ADT is reliable and dependable, especially if the alarm goes off, they do not waste time to call to check to see what's going on.

It's good to know that maybe she forgot to lock the back and it tells her what to check. When the battery goes out in one of the sensors in one of the rooms, I've learned how to track it down easier and replace the batteries. At first, it was a nightmare at first, but I have figured it out. My concern is the cost going up so great.

    ADT was the cheapest and their price was the best out of all the other companies. Their sales rep was a little pushy, but my experience with him was good. The installers were quick but they didn't clean up from drilling in the wall. Also, I was satisfied with the features of my service package at first. But after about three months, I was not any longer. There was a big storm and it knocked my Ring doorbell camera off. The camera shattered and they did not offer to replace it. So I haven't had a Ring doorbell since, which sucks. Aside from that, you can get the same product from anywhere else and not have to pay every month. So, I feel like I pay for nothing every month.

    I was looking for some good options and I couldn't pick anything else other than ADT. They are very well-known. Twice when the notification stopped coming, I had to contact them, but immediately my issues were resolved and the reps I talked to were good. As for the system, an additional camera and one or two additional motion sensors would help. They could also give a bit of reduction in the rate because I'm paying 68 point something at this point in time per month. Other than that, I recommend them to others because I'm happy most of the time. I've had small issues and they are a little bit expensive when compared to the other options, but at least when people see ADT as a logo, they trust ADT. So, people will stay away from my home and will have second thoughts about invading.

When we first had the system, the way that it was detecting everything, we ran out of storage space before our 30 days were up. We figured out how to manage it and we haven't had any problems since that first month. But if you delete some space, you should be able to make some space. The app is easy to use. However, recently, we've been having an issue with our doorbell cam.

    I heard about ADT 'cause my neighbor has them and that's why I went with it. I live alone and the only thing I use on ADT is that chime for the front, back and garage doors. I don't even put in my security code 'cause that's enough. When my door is open, I hear it. I like that about the system. However, if I had another company to go to, I would. ADT got me with a bill where they said I didn't pay and I was looking at it on my bank statement and told them, "Yes, I did. It was 6th in June to July." They want me to take a copy of it and send it in and then said they'd reimburse me. I know I paid and I paid it twice. I paid over $157 in one month.

    I also called in and gave ADT the number on my new card because my old card wasn't any good. Somebody tried to hack it. That threw me in the behind because they didn't get the $14. They said they still had old card and I said, "I told y'all that card wasn't no good." It ain't ADT the name, but the workers. That's where I see the fault is, because when I call in and give them the change in things, that's it. When I asked for a place where I can go personally and pay instead of putting it on the card, they told me I could go in some office building out on Rock Road here in Kansas. I went and rang and rang the doorbell, but I couldn't get in. They didn't open the door. It must be one of those where I have to drop my money through the slot.

    ADT has always been the company that we've used going back about 20 years. My grandparents and parents used it. However, we're looking eventually to switch from ADT. Functionality-wise, the system is basic. It's what I would expect, and performance-wise, it's standard. ADT is overpriced, and their user interface is difficult with their app. They can improve that. The customer service is very clanky as well. Everything has to send out a tech, and getting a tech to come out is always expensive. Besides that, the technicians are thorough when they come out.

I have sensors falling off and now won't re-attach, rendering the system useless. To make this even more of a tragic comedy is when I called to tell them my system doesn't work and I need someone here today to get it working, or they would be in breach of my contract, their response was "for a $79 fee we can have a tech come to work on it," in other words pay more $ for a system I do not want, that does not work, because the install was poorly and the equipment is JUNK!!!

I get a million excuses from ADT blaming everything and anything but themselves. I eventually gave up and paid for two useless cameras monthly because I’m too busy between my child and my actual job. Finally I move and try to cancel, and they say if I do I’ll owe them close to three thousand dollars if I don’t transfer to my new house, which has a security system already.

    It’s very easy to get in contact with a rep and they are very helpful, but they can only help so much. Sometimes, they're able to fix the problems that you're having, but other times, they're not. The last time I talked to them, they said it was a software issue ADT was aware of and they're working on a corrective action. But that was a year ago, and they still have no corrective action.

    The ADT system does what it advertises. The door, the window, and the break sensors work. But the system is not the most advanced and doesn't have the best cameras. When the cameras records clips, they're crystal clear. You can zoom in on them and save them electronically. But it doesn't always record a clip. I'm dissatisfied with the way the cameras work. I wish they recorded better so I'd have evidence if somebody tries to break in. If I wasn't under contract with ADT for the equipment right now, I would get rid of them ‘cause the camera doesn't record video clips like it should. Plus, the cost of the monitoring continually goes up. Every six months, it's gone up in price. I'm waiting for contract to go out so I can get rid of it and go with somebody else.

I did another complaining when I first got it in here but I gave up and decided to ride out the contract because I couldn't get out of it without being sued. $60 a month or $2 a day is not a lot of money on something for normal people, but I'm on a fixed income. I've got another two and a half years on it.

    We've seen a bunch of suspicious activity around here. People have just gotten really mean. So, I called ADT and had them to come out and take a look at my home. They told me that they could put a doorbell camera in, which is exactly what I wanted. I wanted a doorbell camera for the front and the rear doors, and wanted the window sensors put in and the fire detectors. When I first signed the contract, it was for $55 a month for monitoring or for the equipment, and then I pay an extra 20 something a month for the equipment or the monitoring.

    We had a problem with with the system. I had to move the control panel. And when I moved it, something happened with the power supply. They said that they come out to fix it. And they said that since I disconnected it to move it that I was responsible for the system and that they couldn't hook all the sensors back into a new control system because they were already attached to that controller. In other words, their numbers were written into that controller and they couldn't get those numbers back.

    I got a new control panel put in and I only went with two door sensors. They never did put the doorbell cameras in. They put these cameras in where they drilled holes through my walls and it looked like a 15-year-old put them in. I've called ADT where I changed out the Wi-Fi to re-hook up the cameras and stuff. And the people there have always been nice when I've checked the cameras or have to redo the cameras to the control panel for where Wi-Fi changes out. That's never been a problem. But as someone who has purchased the system, the way the system works, how it all goes into the control panel, and the way that I was left holding the bag with the contract, they wouldn't even hear of negotiating a contract so I could buy it out and go with something cheaper so I could get a doorbell camera because I couldn't get ADT to install one. They wouldn't even talk to me about it at all.

    It was, "This is what you're gonna pay. And if you want the system, fine. And if not, then you're gonna pay this. And you still got five years left on the contract. Or it's gonna cost you this much to buy your contract out." So, there was no negotiation. There was nothing. And I thought, "Well, all right. Well, I'll keep up with the contract. And just as soon as this contract is over, ADT is gone. I will never use ADT again."

He had ADT put on the house to make sure that we stayed safe while he was away, and that's been years and years ago. Having ADT makes me feel more secure. The system has always functioned well. It used to be hooked up and somebody could cut the wires but now, it's hooked up to satellites. So, we know that it's gonna go off if somebody opens the door or opens the window when we have it on. If somebody opens something, the alarm's gonna go on if I have my system on.

    When we first got the service, it was because my husband was at sea. When he started working locally and wasn't going off, we've kept it. Any time we go out of town, go down the street, go to the grocery store or downtown, we cut it on when we leave the house and we cut it off when we come home. Sometimes, we cut it on when we come in.

    When my ADT system is working properly, I like that it lets me know if there's any unusual activity. I'm a little disappointed of the system. I haven't been using it for a while. I did call ADT a few months ago and let them know that it wasn't working. I had some malfunction on it. They advised me that they were gonna have somebody come over and fix it, and that never happened. They never followed up. So at this point, I'm just waiting for my contract to be over so I can discontinue the service. I don't feel like I have much security right now because I'm not using it.

    I found ADT to be professional and personable at times when I've worked with the agents. They provide what a good, reliable service. I've asked them from time to time to shut the service down for a limited amount of time. Recently, there was a problem with one of my window sensors. Since it is 1,100 miles away, I couldn't go there to fix it. I asked them to turn off the service at that one particular window, but keep the rest of the house armed. They were able to do that, which was very good. It saved me a 2,200-mile round trip, as well as keeping my home safe.

    The system has been doing very well. I'm secure. I've had a couple false alarms over the years. ADT notified the police. The police came and looked at my property and could not find any sort of a break-in. The conclusion was, maybe something had fallen over in the house and triggered the alarm. I couldn't find any evidence of that either. So, I don't know if there was an electrical problem or what the situation was. But police were notified and followed up, which I appreciate. The only thing that would worry me would be if there was a fire. By the time you get a fire company to one of the locations, there could be substantial damage done to the house. That would be the case with any kind of alarm system. But I like the fact that it will alert the fire company if necessary.

    I dealt with ADT because I've seen their signs, and I like the way they monitor it and perform their duties. I like the simplicity of the system. The house is very secure. I don't worry about it. I have cameras so I can look at it any time. I can lock doors from a remote location. I had an interaction in reference to a window alarm going off, and it was the battery in the sensor on the window. The tech that I spoke with walked through everything on how to replace it to put the system back online. However, if I needed someone to come out, ADT would schedule someone and they would usually come out within a week. They would give me 8:00 in the morning until 6:00 in the afternoon that they would arrive.

    When I get into a computer program that I cannot talk to someone, it's hard for the older generation, 55 and up, not having all that computer knowledge. I'm older, and there are a lot of times we can solve things by just talking to someone. There needs to be some way they can assist someone that isn't computer savvy. That would be an asset if ADT had that. I have had no problems with ADT, and I'm happy with their service.

    My most recent interaction with the tech was great. He was helpful and told me what was wrong with the system. He told me everything that he would do. If it didn't do what it was supposed to do, he figured out, "Okay. So, why is it doing that?" He did good. Before he came, I kept having an issue with my alarm going off. It was always in the middle of the night. ADT said it was a sensor at the door. But the tech changed all that. I called ADT because I didn't know that it was the sensor. I had already talked to ADT and I was about to turn the lights off, and go back to bed. I called them back because I saw a car parked out in front of my house, and I heard something and saw a flashlight. I told the rep, "Don't hang up." I didn't tell her to dispatch the police to the house, and they did. I opened the door and said, "You better say something. If you're here, you better knock on the door or something."

    However, if there was something that I wanted, like whenever I got the little inside camera, that was another three years that I had to stay with ADT. I talked to the person whenever I called about my sensor. I said, "I'm in the process of moving." She locked in my rate. I said, "Is this gonna affect my rate? Because I may be moving here within the next few months. I'm not trying to pay y'all nothing if I move. Because if I say, 'Yeah,' you're gonna lock this in for a year, and if I move, you're gonna tell me I got to pay you for the whole year right then, instead of just moving the service wherever I'm going." Why would I have to sit in a three-year contract just because I'm updating something?

    Our builder offered us an authorized ADT dealer, Safe Haven, to get the alarm system they have. Recently, we had a lot of issues with that company because the equipment they gave us doesn't work, they don't pick up movements, they don't pick up cars, and the picture's too blurry. I've been trying to call them. I've been trying to see if there's any way we can cancel this whole thing and they say that we have to pay a penalty to get out of the contract before three years. I called them to fix the cameras or switch it or do anything. Safe Haven is doing a bad reputation for ADT. There was a time the whole community's doorbells were not working and nobody showed up from that company to fix those.

    Whenever we call, they don't work on Saturday and Sundays, which is funny because customer service should be 24/7. And whenever I called ADT, because they're not the party we signed the contract with, if it's not emergency, they can't do anything else because they're not taking responsibility. The customer service of Safe Haven is a zero.

    The panel sometimes doesn't work itself. It doesn't say anything. I think it's one of the cheapest and oldest panel they have they put it in there. The camera is asking for calibration every other week and I have to go outside in my driveway and go back and forward, take five different pictures for it. The backyard was turned off for some reason and we didn't have surveillance. I tried to call them, nobody picked up and they said that somebody was gonna come. When somebody called me, they said they were gonna be later and if it's something, they can help me through the phone. I said, "Well, just leave it. I'm paying $64 for nothing." There were people coming to our doorbells, and the doorbell did not record the person and the camera did not pick up a car was parked on our driveway for 20 minutes.

    I tried to talk to ADT as well. They said they can't do anything because I have to call Safe Haven. So, the equipment works. I bought the Ring camera because the driveway camera from Safe Haven that they use Alarm.com equipment does not work at all. So, I had to pay $350 for a Ring company to get their camera and put on our driveway.

    The way ADT let the authorized dealers work shouldn't be that way. They have to take them accountable for what they're doing. This is the first time ever we have a security and the experience is not the way we expect it to be because the security should work differently. The whole purpose of security camera and security system is to make sure the customer is safe. When we're not at home, we check our cameras every couple of minutes because we don't know if something's gonna be wrong with the system. So, I'm not satisfied with the whole process of how they take care of the customers, even if it's through a dealership or an authorized dealer.

    I've been with ADT for 20 years and I've had all good experiences. However, our system was struck and we needed a couple of upgrades. I got quoted over the phone by someone. They would be just upgrading a few things and it was 300-some dollars. So we set up an appointment for someone to come out. They came out, they upgraded, and then we added two things.

    However, they withdrew $1,500 out of my checking account, which I never gave them access to. When I called, and they sent me a bill and said it was $1,500, I said, "That wasn't what I quoted." I spent hours on the phone. Once, they told me they were gonna refund the $1,500, and then put me on a monthly, it was gonna be a less amount, and then call back. But they never did a callback. Spent several hours, told me they were gonna do it, but never did it. Now, they not only took the $1,500 from me, but they're also charging me the monthly fee to equal up to the $1,500. I don't even wanna spend the time on the phone. I don't know what my next move is. No one I can get to seem to help me.

    The communication was horrible. The first person I spoke with that quoted me never conveyed this to the technician and the technician never conveyed anything to me. This is something that I can't even get fixed and I don't even know where to go from here. But as far as the quality, I never had a problem. I've always been happy with the quality of the ADT.

The only time they do it is if you press the panic button and then you get it and that's even delayed. But our police are not the greatest. They're slow in any response.

    The features included in my ADT package were okay. They weren't that great, though. But the upgrades were good. As a matter of fact, I called today to make better upgrades. But I would leave ADT if I wasn't stuck in a contract. First, I don't like the amount of money I'm being charged for the upgrades. But security is more important to me than anything. I had asked, "Am I in a contract?" ‘Cause I've been here for two years and they said I'm in my contract for another year and a half. I wasn't aware that it was that long, what ended up being a four-year contract. I'm gonna have them send somebody out since the upgrade is to replace the doorbell, which is one of the worst doorbells that you could ever put on a home. I'm angry that they put that on all the homes out here. It's not a battery. It deals with electrical. I don't like doing anything dealing with electrical.

Troy came in to do the installation and he was super. He told us exactly what he was gonna do and he did it. He walked us through the setup process. We were told that the installer team make commission based on what they sell so there was a little bit of, "Are you sure you don't want this?" We said, "Yes. We're sure." Overall, it wasn't too awful, but it was a bit more noticeable than the initial specialist.

    The system does a great job. But we've had some issues with their customer support. It's been really hard to talk to a live person. It's almost impossible to get a phone number of the state like your local ADT office and representatives. We're supposed to call a separate line and then maybe get an answer. So that's really frustrating. We got new windows installed a month ago and we were trying to remove the alarm things. The customer service part was really difficult because everything is automated in tech trade.

After two years, I told them it was too high and that I couldn't afford it anymore. They brought it down to 29.99. But I don't get the phone calls anymore. My phone does not ring when somebody comes in. When I'm gone to the store all day long, I don't know if people have come in my apartment. If I'm not home, I need to know when that door is open. Right now, I don't know. I keep changing the password and I shouldn't have to be changing the password all the time.

    I've already complained to them about it. I don't feel safe because I've come in my house and my alarm is not on. I felt that somebody had been in my house, especially when I went to see my kids in Arizona. The other night, I went outside to the store right next door. I turned the alarm on but when I came in, the alarm was not on. That was very strange. Why am I paying 29.99 when I don't even feel secure? I don't even have a camera in here.

    This is a brand-new apartment and I scratched the wood frame putting in one of the window seals. I went with my son on vacation, and when I came back, it had been freshly painted. I live on the third floor. In order to come in my apartment, you have to go through the back door to go through my storage on the porch. It gave me something to think about who painted it and why. Previously, I would run out of the house and forget that the alarm was on. ADT would call me right away 'cause the system would go off. They were on top of it. But now, since they lowered it down to 29.99, it's disconnected from my Wi-Fi. It's also running on batteries and if the batteries run out, the red light is always on.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

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.

    ADT has been great, so far. At one point, I dropped my phone in the water. I messed up my contacts and my icon for that. But I got it back up and running.

    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. God forbid I ever need the system, but if I do, I'll be glad I got it.

    My daughter told me about ADT and I said, “Let me try it.” Installation was very quick. I've had the system for about a year and a half, and it's got good features, but I'm not satisfied right now. 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. I've been thinking about it, but I have been doing so many other things around here that I haven't had a chance to call them, because I lost my husband. I'm still going through a lot of messes, but I should really contact them because I think I'm gonna look for another company.

    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. It depends on if someone can afford it or how secure they wanna be.

    My house caught fire and I had to cancel ADT temporarily. But I've had them for five years and their service was good. In fact, they were the ones that called me and said that a smoke detector was going off in the house. So, I told them to send the fire department. I had the basic package with them. They had alarms on all the windows indoors and I didn't have any cameras. But once I get the new house back, I might do something a little different, maybe a little upgrade.

    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.

There was a new something that they did to my main box, and then one of my sensors (the one for carbon monoxide) had to be replaced. Everything works fine for me. All in all, I've had a good experience with ADT, and I'd advise people to try to think of how many fobs they might need and everywhere they think they might need a sensor so they can get it all at one time.
