I’ve been with ADT since October 2024. My aunt and uncle have used them for over 10 years and they seem like a reputable company, so I chose them.
The sales representative was very helpful. He didn’t explain a few things clearly, but that may have been my fault for not asking more questions about the upfront costs. He also handled the installation, and he did a good job.
They installed devices under my kitchen and bathroom sinks. Nothing was malfunctioning, but it alerted me in case. It gives me peace of mind knowing I’d be alerted if something were to happen.
Hello. Thank you for your 5-star rating and review! We appreciate it.

I’ve been with ADT for almost five years, and the only thing I don’t agree with is the service fee. It’s $160 for them to come out and check the equipment. Right now, I’m having an issue with the motion sensor in my living room, and I don’t think that charge is fair. I feel like with what we pay monthly and we rarely ask for service, the fee should be lower.
Especially around the holidays, it feels like everything gets more expensive, like airline tickets. I’m not sure if that’s the case with ADT, but as a senior, I can’t afford to pay $160 for someone to come out and check their own equipment.

We built our home in 1995 and had heard about ADT. We got in touch with a representative who installed it as the house was being built, and we’ve had it ever since.
The quality and features are good. We’ve never considered switching to another provider. I wish the price wouldn’t keep going up, but that’s how things are.

It's been years that I had ADT installed when I built my house, and I've had no issues with the service. I went to internet, so I had to get it updated, and it wasn’t a problem. ADT is cost-effective and very efficient at what they do, and the system will do what it says it'll do, so I'm happy with it. Usually, I set it when I leave, and when I go out the back door, there's a pad there that I turn on. I’ve had a couple of false alarms, most of them due to my own doings, and I've had no problem whatsoever. They called me, I explained the situation to them and moved on from there.

I've been a customer of ADT for 14 years in two states. I moved, and I brought ADT with me. The sales reps are good. It's been five years since I've had this system put in and it’s been working good. I had the fire alarm go off, my motion sensors went bad, and those just turned out to be batteries. But for the fire detector, smoke detector, they couldn't tell me what kind of battery it took, so they sent me a battery. Obviously, it costs more from them than it does going to Home Depot, but once I can figure out the size of the battery, I'm good to go. The motion sensor, I got the right size battery and got that changed out, and once I get it mounted back on the wall, then I'll call ADT and figure how to turn it back on. ADT’s contact after-hours are not so good. I've called the after-hours number twice, got ahold of people who could barely understand and gave me conflicting information. But when I called during business hours, I got ahold of a girl on there and she was fantastic. I loved working with her.

I'm not particularly happy with the ADT services. They replaced my system a couple of years ago and didn't provide the service that I had before. The new system doesn't support all of my sensors. The battery in my system, while it's on a charger all the time, doesn't seem to be charging properly, and they want to sell a $10 battery for $40, which is unnecessarily costly from my perspective. Not that I don't have the $40, but it annoys me that they charge me for that, especially since I'm paying them every month for service. And it’s not difficult to get ahold of the company, it’s just not meeting my expectations.

I'm not happy with ADT. First of all, when I was asking about the batteries they told me I could just call them and they’d send someone out to change my batteries. Well, they don't do that. I was looking at their carbon monoxide thing, and I can't buy those batteries in the store. I've gotta order it through ADT, and I'm not gonna order a battery ahead of time thinking that it's gonna go off, so that's a pain. I have been on pins and needles thinking when the battery is gonna wear out ‘cause it’s on its third year, and I don't even turn them on anymore because I'm so afraid. And it’s too expensive. Every year, they raise their rates. But I have to pay the full amount for three years if I wanna cancel ahead of time, so when my contract expires, I am through with ADT.

The system installation was okay. One thing ADT could improve is making sure the system is actually working. I’m not always sure if it’s up-to-date or if someone will pick it up immediately. Last time the alarm went off, it took a long time to get a call from ADT. I expected a call within a minute or two asking what was happening or if they should send the police or fire department, but it took much longer.

My experience with ADT started great. The sales representative was excellent. But when it came time for the service, I was disappointed. I was promised an 8:00–8:30 appointment as the first on the list, and that didn’t happen.
I was sitting around all morning, putting aside important things to wait for the 8:00 appointment. I didn’t get a call until 12:30 or 1:00 that they were coming from about 50 miles away. That was very disappointing and disheartening.
I never got the compensation I was promised for that delay, and that’s the only bad experience I’ve had with ADT. I always remember it, but other than that, my experience has been good.
What happened was, a company upgraded my system without telling me. The alarm still went off, but it wasn’t reaching the base station. When I found out, I was very disappointed and disheartened.
I was paying every month for service I wasn’t actually getting, and I didn’t know it because my alarm was still going off. That’s what made me switch to ADT.
ADT could improve the door sensors, they’re big blocks on each door, and to me, they look unprofessional. They don’t look great in the living room or den.
At the back door, there’s a thick white box that had to be drilled into the wall. When the door opens, the alarm goes off. That could be designed better. My previous system didn’t have that, so it’s something I’d recommend they look at.
Customer service was great. I was very impressed with the salesman in Montgomery. The technicians who came out apologized for the issues and did a great job completing their work.
First experience is everything. My first experience stuck with me because it should have been handled on schedule, with proper calls and notifications.
The price was great. Other companies were more expensive and didn’t want to come out in person, they only gave estimates over the phone. ADT came out in person, which I thought was much better.

I’ve been with ADT for two years, and they were the only ones I knew for a long time. Customer service is good. When I lose my internet, they let me know immediately.
When I started, it was about $40. Two years later, it went up to $70, even though I hardly ever use it. They raised my rates for basically doing nothing. I can’t wait to get rid of them. I need to finish paying for my equipment, and then I’m done. I might cancel early and pay the penalty. I’m really not happy with them, it feels like a waste of money.

I’ve considered other providers, but we’ve just so far stayed with ADT. We really don’t have any kind of problems with their service, unless my husband forgets the code. However, I wasn’t thrilled with the installation experience. We went back and forth on that. We have impact windows and the rep said we still need the security on them. He said he could do them for $99 but then they were charging me almost $400. I had to argue over that. And then he gave me a little Google device and said it was free. But then they charged me for that. I had to argue over that as well. I got some of it refunded, but not everything. I gave up but that’s what I wasn’t happy with.

I’ve been an ADT customer for many years and I’ve only had a couple instances when the alarm went off. The problem is if you have battery issues, it could be kind of a long-drawn-out process. It’s always an upgrade of some sort. And if we have to send somebody out, it’s so much money. So I switched to another company who gave me a brand-new system. But I ended up going back to ADT and I’ve been with them ever since.
I had the same rate for many years and then they raised it. I don’t think they should go after the people who have been with them for many years and raise the rates. A new customer should pay that.

It’s very easy to get ahold of their rep. The only problem I see is when I come in my front door. I’m older and if I’m carrying bags, I can’t race to the panel, which I was only two feet from my door. It goes off so fast and there’s only a few seconds to get in.
I’ve been a customer for 30 years, and anything that’s been a problem, they’ve always corrected. This is the second time I’ve moved in four years. I had somebody come out and had service on the house that I’m listing now. The rep was very knowledgeable. He told me where I should put everything. I felt protected there. However, there was some kind of confusion about when I signed in or when I signed on and they wanted to charge me some amount of money. But they corrected everything. They actually listened to me which was a pleasure because not too many people do that.

I have the cameras, but I have been unimpressed with those. One of them doesn't really work. I've brought it up to ADT a few times for a year and all they're saying is there's a bug in the camera. It's frustrating because it's a service I pay for.

We’ve been with ADT for more than 15 years. We’re doing good with the service, and the reason we’ve stayed so loyal is the service is very accurate. Except that the cost went up, and we didn't receive any notice that it went up, unless we missed it.
Customer service representatives are very efficient, and they respond quickly. I’ve only had technicians come out to install the cameras and provide service. The service features meet my expectations about 90%. The only area for improvement is the packages they offer. For example, I got my cameras and my father’s cameras installed, but he got a two-way camera that lets you hear what they say, and I didn’t get that.

ADT is just one of those companies that you've always known about. I've been with them for a long time, and I’ve never had a problem. It's the only one I've ever had, but it has pretty much held up to the reputation.
I was probably about 12 miles from where I am now when I first had it done, and I was told at the time that if I moved, they would just come and take the equipment out of there and bring it over here. But nobody told me that I had to buy new equipment. I thought they’d just take what I already bought and move it, but that didn't turn out that way, and I was kind of disappointed in that. I’ve had the new installation for 5 years at my current location.
I did have one situation where a guy was doing some work on my house and broke my sign into several pieces. I don't think he even knew it happened, and I didn't either until several days later. So I called ADT to see if I could get another one, and I came to find out that I have to buy another one. They said I had to call back on another day, but I didn’t, although I still need to because I want my sign back up.
I was disappointed more than anything else because ADT is supposed to be way up here as far as reputation and customer service and all that, but that guy wasn't. It's like he's kind of nonchalant about it, like he had a lot of other things on his mind. I didn't get any service from them. All I was told was that they couldn't do anything to help me that day. I’m dissatisfied with it.
The price jumps around and has changed several times. When I first got the system, I didn’t have a landline, and they said they had to run a line for the service to work. Now I have a landline, but the price didn’t change, so I don’t know what I’m supposed to be paying. It’s difficult to get somebody on the phone to help figure out where I’m at, and honestly, I don’t even know where I’m at as far as the system and everything.

I made the switch to ADT because we had some minor problems with the terminal on the wall, and I couldn't get anybody to provide me repair service from our previous company since they were located in Texas. I contacted ADT out of the yellow pages because they had an office here in Iowa City, and I thought we would be able to get service, and that indeed has been the case. The sales representative was wonderful when he came over and explained everything to us, and the installer was great. They took all the old equipment and installed the new system, and it’s been just fine.
It's been a very positive experience with ADT. The equipment has all worked well, and we've been happy with that and the service connected with that. My only concern is that they keep sending me internet bills for the monthly fees. We're kind of old school and get bills through the postal service, which is how we want to pay ADT. They have been doing that, except the postal bill comes much later than the one on the internet. I just eliminated the one on the internet. Consequently, they say that I'm either late or close to being late, but we're sitting here just waiting for the bill to come from the postal service. As soon as we get it, we pay it.

I used ADT years ago, and they were one of the referral security companies from my banking financial institution. I’ve had them since I’ve been in my house. The process was pretty straightforward. You go through the institution, they send out somebody, they take a look at the house, and they recommend what’s needed.
After the install, I had to call the installers for the settings for the cameras, and they did that remotely. They’ve been pretty good with that, and also with battery replacement, either sending batteries or a rep out to replace them. It’s a rock-solid system, so it does what it’s supposed to do.
For my needs, the features meet my expectations because the alerting is there. If something goes off, they’re quick to call or let me know an alarm is going off. Even if I get a warning on the system and let it go long enough, they’ll call me and test it out to see what’s going on.
The initial purchase was alarms for the windows and doors, and afterwards, I got the cameras. They work, they’re fine, and they’ve been very important in retrieving crucial information that I needed before. It doesn’t cover everything around me, but it covers my house and what I need it for.
There are plenty of competitors out there that do the same thing, so it’s all about cost, what you want to pay, and the equipment needed to secure the house. I’ve had them so long that I tend not to look around for competitors, but like everything else, the price goes up a little bit, so I have to do that analysis to see if I’m paying too much for the system.

I see everybody else having ADT, and I looked into it. I had different offers, and ADT was the last one that I decided to go with. I’ve been with them for quite a few years now for my alarm system, cameras, and other security equipment.
My interactions with them were good. When my cameras were offline, the technician came, took my cellphone, used his iPad to adjust everything, and that was it. I also have the ADT app on my phone, which I think is great. My wife has the app on her cell phone, and I have ADT on speed dial so that if I have any problems, I’ve got the numbers for the technician, representative, or whatever the case may be.
When I first had a false alarm, it wasn’t very informative. I kicked it off one time and had to give my password. I made an appointment for a technician to come, but I cancelled it because I did my homework and did it myself, and it was fine. I’m satisfied with ADT because I get good cooperation and good service. I'm almost done with my payments. I could pay it off if I wanted to, but that would cut into my budget, so I go with the monthly payment of $86 for the equipment and $21.50 for having ADT in the house.

My experience with ADT has been difficult. It was great until I moved, but since then, nothing has been straightforward. I’ve called many times, they fix one thing but not the next. Right now, I can’t log into my account. It says my password is invalid. When I try to reset it, the email never comes, so I don’t know where the change request is going.
I worked in tech support at FedEx for six years, so I’m tech savvy and usually try everything until I exhaust all options. Simple things like changing a password shouldn’t be hard, but with ADT, it is.
I’m going to call today to reset my password because I can’t access any of the remote features. It logged me out the last time I used it, and I can’t log back in.
I moved in June last year and called a few days before to switch my service to the new home. A month later, my bill was extremely high because they were charging me for both places. Even though I reported it and had ADT set up the system at my new home, they didn’t cut off the old service. They know I wasn’t at the other address anymore.
Someone else was living at my old house, and when I checked remotely, I could see them there, not at my new home. I went through numerous changes to get the old system cut off. It shouldn’t be that hard to turn off a system at one place and turn it on at another, this should be a common process.
After that, I still couldn’t access my system remotely and was logging into the old address. It took 7–8 calls and escalations to fix. It was terrible. Now I have a bypass on one window because I had new windows installed, and the sensors weren’t set up correctly. I paid a $60 service fee for someone to come out, but one sensor still won’t stay up, the tape isn’t working.
It's been an experience. Once I finish paying for this equipment, I plan to switch to another service. I’ll keep ADT only as long as I have their equipment. They’re very difficult when problems arise. When things are working, they’re fine, and they do respond when the alarm goes off. But relocating and managing service has never been smooth. I should be able to change my password, but the reset emails never arrive. I’ll have to call them today to fix it.

I’ve been with ADT for almost five years. The technicians are usually excellent, professional, respectful, and knowledgeable. Customer service, on the other hand, isn’t always the same.
I went over a year paying for service that I didn’t receive, and even though they knew, nothing was done. I haven’t been satisfied with their service.
I’m satisfied with my system, but not with ADT as a company. Initially, I felt misled. I thought my contract was yearly, but a few months later I realized it was a 5-year contract. It wasn’t discussed with me upfront, only in the fine print. I take responsibility, but I felt it should have been made clear from the start.
I’m big on principle. I believe businesses should be fair, upfront, and deliver on their promises. I feel like ADT didn’t do that.

I've used ADT for years, and one of the most impressive things is that their yard signs really deter people from trying to break in.
Customer service has always been good. I learned early on not to ask for technical support, but go straight to customer service. I make it clear that I pay them to handle issues, and they’ve always been good about coming out and taking care of it.
I’ve never had a false alarm. If it ever went off because of something I did, I’ve been able to handle it myself before they call. It’s more expensive than many other systems, but to me, it’s worth it.

I’ve been with ADT for years and years. They performed the services that they offered, and I had no complaints, which is why I’ve stayed loyal. Ever since I’ve had ADT, the features in my service package have been working just fine. If the alarm goes off and I don’t put in my password, they call within a short period of time to make sure everything is okay and confirm it’s me or someone authorized to be there. They do ask for the password, so if it’s a person with no verbal password, then they know something is going on. I’ve been with them for years, and that speaks for itself. With all these services and security systems out there, I must be satisfied.

I've had ADT for over 30 years and have been a loyal customer because it is good service. The gentleman who did the last installation was knowledgeable and helpful. They’ve also come out to replace a battery, which took about 30 minutes to an hour.
The package is great, and I use it for basic protection. I set it, and that’s it. Recently, my husband was cooking, and the fire alarm went off. ADT was very prompt in their response, calling to ensure everything was okay before sending anyone out. It was just a false alarm, but they were ready, and the phone was ringing before I could even get down the stairs. I would recommend ADT. I don’t typically recommend people, but ADT has definitely served its purpose for me.

We’ve had ADT for a long time and recently upgraded our system. The sales representatives and our installation experience have been very good. The features of our service package are also good, but we did have to call them back because we missed one of the doors when we were installing.

ADT does a pretty good job, which is why I’ve been a loyal customer. At this point, I’m a little dissatisfied because I don’t think my doorbell captures some of the things that it should capture. Sometimes it gets people going out of the house or coming in, but it's just a sometimes thing. I did at one point contact them about it, and it was easy to reach customer service. My doorbell was also outdated, and I was told I would have to pay $200 to get a new one, which I can't afford.

I try to be obliging, but the doorbell camera has been an issue ever since we had the service installed. Once every few months, the thing just dies. A guy shows up and it works for a while, and then it starts acting up again. The other thing is when they come out, there’s turnover and the skill sets are all different.

The representative who came out here should have taken more time with me to make sure I fully understood the system, and maybe do a mock trial on it, but he didn’t. So when he left here, I was just clueless. I’ve been paying for something that I haven’t used in almost a year.
I asked the representative how long he had been with this company, and he told me that he’d been with ADT for 10 years. So I felt confident. Then when I went to go back and call, he was nowhere to be found. He’d quit and moved on.
I just don’t feel secure about their product and what they installed in my house. I’ve had my phone number changed a couple of times because of the hacking, and nobody ever called me. I haven’t talked to anybody from ADT in almost a year.
I had to call and ask them if they needed an updated phone number. Nobody reached out to me for eight whole months. Not a phone call or a letter saying they were reviewing my file just to make sure that all my information is updated in case there’s an issue.
I don’t have an internet, so if somebody breaks into my house while I’m gone, I don’t even know how they are going to call the cops, and how they do know. I haven’t set that alarm system since the day it was installed. I’m not using it because I don’t feel confident with it, and taking the time that it takes to put the code in, and run out the door.

I tried then to cancel the install at that moment, and instead, the sales lady said my internet might work and insisted on sending out the tech to make the determination. That tech came out and said that he could use a different set of cameras that would work but didn't have them on his truck. He agreed to come out on Saturday to do the install. When he arrived, he couldn't finish the install and said he would be back on Monday. He never did.
It was about a week later that I called to inquire about the remaining install. They then sent a different tech out to my house to finish the install. The doorbell stopped working THAT day. I called back, and they kept giving me 5 hour blocks to be available for another tech to come out. I explained that I can't keep taking time off work to wait around for them. They finally agreed to give me a 1 hour time block on the 24th; however no one showed up. When I called in, they said the appointment was cancelled; however, I NEVER CANCELLED ANYTHING. They also never told me it was cancelled. I got another appointment set up, and that tech argued with me about how they system is the best and the power at my house is not strong enough. He also informed me I would be charged $59 per visit from a tech.
At that point I have decided to cancel. No company is worth this headache. That is when I was informed that if I'm locked into some contract, and they would charge me $2500 for cancelling. When I looked up that "Contract," I see that it is not even my signature (see attached screenshot - it's not even my name). I never signed anything, and their tech clearly did. I explained that to the sales rep, and he said it didn't matter. I asked about their 6-month money back guarantee, and they said I didn't qualify due to my low power supply. This is the worst company to do business with, and I wouldn't recommend them to my enemy. If you are considering them, my advice would be to make sure you secure a lawyer on retainer first. Good luck!

I’ve been an ADT customer since March 2021, and my recent experience trying to cancel my service has solidified my decision to never deal with them again. After calling to cancel my service on a property that will close escrow on December 27, it took a staggering 46 minutes and being transferred 4 times to different representatives.
I had to authenticate myself multiple times with verbal passwords and account information, only to be passed around from account management to billing, then to a relocation specialist (which I didn’t even need, as I clearly explained that the property was being sold). The entire process felt like no one listened to my request, and it’s nearly impossible to handle this kind of simple task without endless delays and frustration. To make matters worse, you can't cancel online, so you're forced into this frustrating, time-wasting cycle. If there were zero stars, I would give it to this poorly run company. Save yourself the headache and avoid ADT at all costs.

ADT is nationally known, so I chose to go with them. Their sales rep was good. A guy came and installed the system, but he left without telling me about it. I was confused and had to follow up and figure it out on my own. It wasn't his fault since they're on a timeline and maybe they're so busy. So far, I haven't had any problems and everything’s good. I’m happy with my service.

My experience with ADT was not the greatest. There offer was $53 a month. But when ADT came and put up the alarm system, I now owed $1,800 because they talked me into things and didn't tell me how much it would be. Before I knew it, I owed $1,800. I made one payment and I slept on it for the weekend. I decided that I no longer wanted all the windows to have whatever kind of alarm system on there. What they offered was three doors, and I went with that. The salesperson probably works on commission and talked me into other things. Before it all ended, it was $1,800. I decided to take the windows off. I kept two windows because people could step in to my house through these windows. I added a fire system in the house and in the garage, and I kept those.
ADT had someone signed up. It was supposed to be the same person who came up and uninstalled the window shock system. They cancelled, and told me it would be months before they could reschedule. I had to send the shock boxes back. I kept the batteries, because I couldn't send batteries through the mail. They had me take the shock system off, telling me they were easy to do. I must have talked to a half a dozen people before I found someone that knew what to do so I could take these alarm systems off my window without having the state police show up at my house because the alarms would go off. Other than that, I like the system. It's very easy for me to use.

I've been a customer with ADT from 2003 to 2012, and then from October to now. It was at a different place. This home, when we moved into it in 2020, already had the ADT service in it. I reactivated it, and it cost me $1,400 to do that because they had to come out and redo the system, which didn't need redoing, but that's how it goes. ADT's customer service person came out and sold it to me and said he could use everything. I knew it operated because part of the system, even though it wasn't activated for their service, worked. When you open doors and windows, it would set off a little beep to let you know something was open. So, everything was thick, hooked up, and working fine. The guy said that he had to have access to my checking account, withdraw half the fee, which I didn't like. I don't like people withdrawing money from my account. He said that'd be the last time.
Before it was really activated, they withdrew a monthly payment. Then they said they didn't get it, and so they must have hounded me five times for the second payment of the half that I owed him. I said, “I told you guys you gotta send me an invoice. I'll send you a check when I get the invoice.” They didn't wanna do that. They just wanted to withdraw money from my account and then let me find out about it. We finally got that straightened out and now I pay them through Bill Pay through my bank account. They're not supposed to do a direct debit, although they did that, and they did it twice. I talked to the bank about it, and they said that they would not allow that company to do that anymore.
Part of the problem was because they didn't have an invoice. I sent payments through Bill Pay to ADT. However, that's not the company that wanted the bill payments. It's an ADT subsidiary. So even though I had the right post office box and the right address, I didn't have the ADT service on my Bill Pay. So, they would not receive the amount of money from the bank, even though the bank showed it being paid. The bank ended up having to refund me the money and we had to go back through that. They're not very good about this stuff. They just wanna get into your account to pull money out of it.
The guy that came out and did this installation said, “Oh, I need a such and such for it to work.” So the cost went up from the monthly billing from $52 up to $61 and something, because he added a device to my system. And they took out the old panel that worked fine, and put in a new panel. I don't even activate the thing. I just want it in case I do wanna activate it someday. But if I look back on it, I would never have done it because I don't really use it that much, and I will probably not use it. They put in a new panel and nobody told me how to use it. So, I don't know how to use it if I wanted to use it. I feel like I got a two-year guaranteed contract that I'm gonna end up paying for and probably never use it because I'm not satisfied with anything they've done to date.

I've been with ADT for three years now and I'm satisfied enough with the package I got. We didn't go the route that they recommended, though. It's hooked up to the old wires and nothing got updated because they said they don't do that anymore. Magnets have fallen off and they've replaced those for us. But we've had a few false alarms and it's usually a computerized service letting us know that our alarm went off, which we don't like. It used to be a human.

We experienced a hurricane and I lost power. When my power got restored, my system did not come back on at all. I had four or five appointments trying to figure out what the problem was and I had an electrician to look at it to say that they didn't see any signs of power surge at all. It was just something linked in the system. I live in a secluded area by myself and I needed the security. I ended up having to get a new system and ADT would not cover anything at all and although I've been a customer for four or five years, there was no incentive or anything to help defray the cost of buying a new system that I really didn't want.
That was late September and it took until November to get my issue rectified. I went through technicians and it ended up costing me 800 bucks to get a new control panel. Also, all my other equipment was fine but I was unable to use my motion sensors because they were kind of locked into the system. I decided not to go with motion sensors because that would have been an additional cost to get two of them. The customer service agents were pleasant and nice when I did call in but it was frustrating. I would not have continued it and if I could have switched switch service, I would have. But because of the way the control panel wasn't working, the other competitive security companies could not take over my system. l was locked up and I wasn't able to switch to a competitive system. That was the only reason why I didn't switch.

I saw the senior discount advertised in my AARP magazine and I knew I needed something, so I called ADT. Everything's been wonderful, and I tell Google how great she is all the time. I couldn't live without Google being here now because I can ask for anything and she answers me. “What's the weather in Erwin, Tennessee today?” I say, "Hey, Google, what channel does that UT Volunteers play on tonight?"
I have a big fancy TP in my backyard and my favorite feature is I can just say, "Hey Google, can I see the TP camera?" She brings it up and then I'll be sitting in the doctor's office and my phone starts ringing. It's a notification from Google that there's a strange face at my TP and I can come home and look. If anybody would attempt to come in and break into my home, they would see my yard signs and that the cameras are up. That really makes people think twice before they come near my home. Everybody that drives by sees our signs, and if they ever ask, I sure would let them know how great ADT has been.

I was looking to secure my home about 25 years ago. I decided to have a system installed. Makes me sleep better at night. ADT has been good over the years. The batteries in my sensors and the main battery back up over time. But otherwise I have no issues.
Over the years, the monthly payments blew up. They continued to do that up until about four years ago. I called them and complained about it because it kept creeping up. Since I have been a long-term customer, they decided over the last couple of years not to increase my monthly payment. It's $28 a month now. But prior to that, it ran up to $35. I hope I won't see an increase ever again.
The home I'm living in now is a smaller retirement home. We sold our bigger house. And during that time, I didn't mind so much, especially while I was working, if the monthly payments went up. In my other house, it got up to $40 dollars a month. I don't want to support higher rates on a yearly basis, even if it's only a dollar a month at a time. Seniors like myself are on a fixed income.
In the other house I had more sensors and detectors. I got the smoke and fire detectors. I've got two motion detectors even where I'm living now. In my bigger house, I had much more, to the point where they allow you so many when you first have a system installed but then you could order or add more sensors or detectors as needed. I have spent at least $1,000 to have the system installed with the equipment that I wanted.
ADT has been reliable. Even when my alarm is going off accidentally, or maybe I forgot to turn it off while I walked in or left the house, and I've always gotten a follow-up call. One day, the alarm for the garage door went off. And according to the code I received, that's where the breach occurred. I left work and I went home because I didn't know what was going on. And lo and behold, I come to find out the system wasn't working as it should have. It should have sent a low battery signal to the control panel. But it went right to being breached. And it called the police. After that, ADT came out and replaced the battery.
They come out anymore no matter what goes on. A year ago I had to replace the battery backup. And it's a weird-looking battery. You can only purchase it from certain places or from ADT. They shipped it to me, but I had to install it myself. Other than that, I'm still happy with it. They’re number one. You'll never ever read about anybody coming into my home and me waking up with somebody standing over my bed because I'll get forewarned long before that.
About a year ago, I had to replace the batteries for the sensors but the sensors are very efficient because they tend to last at least five years. I've had to replace all the batteries except for maybe two. And they've lasted a long time. The quality and efficiency of their equipment are excellent. I wish they would send me a booklet, because you know how it is when you move and have something installed. I can't find the manual that came with the control panel that teaches you how to do things with the unit.
I don't want to have to call somebody to figure out how to add users. If one of my sons were to come and stay with us temporarily for a month, I'd have to give him a code. Other than that, I recommend ADT. They’re a great company. They do what they say they're gonna do.

I set off the alarm fairly often by forgetting to turn it off before opening certain doors, and they’re always prompt about responding, either by text or phone call. The police did come once, and everything was handled promptly.
That said, it’s way too expensive. They raised my rates without me even knowing, and that really bugged me. Even though I like the service, I’d probably switch if I could, but I’m still paying for the equipment, which sucks. It’s just been really expensive and still is.

I didn't have any trouble when I called ADT. I was okay with the system in the beginning, but I had some issues with one of my cameras. The installer had to do some wiring in my attic and he connected it to a light switch in my hallway and I did not know that. It was the camera that overlooks my garage, and it was out for two weeks because the light switch is for the light in my attic and I only turn it on when I go into my attic. The battery died in that camera. So, I didn't have camera over my garage for over two weeks because it took that long to get a technician out here. So, I was not happy about that.
I'm not as happy as I thought I would be with the other features. When I get a notification that something has been seen in one of my cameras, I always check it to make sure. With the camera that's over my back door, when I watch the video, it says, "This video is not available at this time." I need to be able to go in and look at that camera right then. So, I've considered calling ADT and canceling my service but I realized it could be an internet issue, which I have internet with Xfinity and I've got the highest speed you can get. I'm a little upset because I can't go in right there. It's not in real-time.
Also, I've had several issues with my doorbell camera not working, and the doorbell not working. I was told, "Well, it's just your internet. It's just your internet. I was like, "Oh, my God." Customer service is good. When I call, they're always very professional. They usually can help me resolve the issue, or if the issue can't be resolved, then they have to send out a technician. They're usually timely about getting a technician out here. They did have to reschedule a technician regarding my cameras, but they provided me a free month of monitoring service, which I thought was nice of them. But if I had to choose another security system and another monitoring company, I would not go with ADT. I would go with someone else.

My family and I decided to install security services in our home and chose ADT, as we had previously used their services and expected a smooth transition. We already had a complete system from ADT, based on our prior experience. However, when a technician arrived on December 18, 2024, he informed us that ADT had discontinued the devices we had and now offered a new system—Google Nest—integrated with ADT’s monitoring service. He also recommended replacing our functional door lock with a new one, stating that it would work better with the updated system. Trusting his advice, I agreed and paid $1,300 for the new equipment. All these were lies letter confirmed to me by one of their supervisor and a follow tech who tech me that the tech who has previously came our residence has a track record of misleading customers.
Unfortunately, shortly after the technician left, the Google Nest system and the new door lock stopped working. I reached out to ADT multiple times, only to be transferred from department to department with no resolution. Eventually, I spoke to the some representative who agreed to send a technician. When another technician came to our home, he informed me that, in order to make the Google Nest app and door lock functional, I would need to pay additional fees beyond the original amount I had already agreed to.
Frustrated, I requested that ADT retrieve the equipment, but they refused unless I paid even more. The technician also admitted that the initial technician who had visited our home had a history of misleading customers. This experience has been extremely disappointing, and I feel misled and taken advantage of throughout the process.

The customer service, especially the person that installed my original system, was very competent, courteous, and thorough.

I rented an apartment until my home was completed and this is where I started having some issues with ADT.
I wanted to have my service that was at my original home moved to my apartment. ADT sent me equipment that was self-install and it was very difficult to actually install. I ended up never using the equipment in the apartment. When I went back to my home, that equipment couldn't be used and the equipment that was in the house originally could not be used. A whole new system had to go in.
I have since been paying for the equipment that was sent to me for the apartment that was never used, never out of the box. I have not been able to return that equipment nor have I had a refund for it. I'm really bothered by the fact that I have equipment that is brand-new that I've essentially been told to just throw away. I cannot believe that this stuff cannot be reused or resold. I'm very displeased with that corporate way in which they handle stuff. I have some ill feelings about how that has played out, but I still have ADT.

My first experience with ADT was okay but later on, it was awful. As someone who is experienced doing security for a home, they're supposed to come and do an assessment and advice what needs to be done, not rely on the customer because the customer doesn't know how the system and how these things go. But they sell you whatever they wanna sell and I got extra stuff that I didn't need and they refuse to refund me for that.
I ordered an extra sensor without my knowledge and when the installer came, he said that maybe I don't need the extra. I told him to keep it and he said he couldn't and that the order was done so I have to put it somewhere. It didn't make sense to me but we put it on the windows, although the windows are already protected by this motion sensor.
Also, the equipment is very expensive. I have a basic system -- it's only monitoring the doors and windows and the motion sensor when it's activated. But the price is already increasing and I don't know why. I was trying to see if I can add something from my end, like get something third party, but it seems like I don't have access to the board that I paid for and it's been set up for me. I cannot have access to add anything because it should be ADT-specific. If I called or if something happened, ADT would respond right away. Other than that, I don't really like the equipment. Now, the technology is everywhere and it's cheaper. You can set it up by yourself. If I knew they were gonna be that simple, I would go with way cheaper options.

It’s very easy to operate. If there’s a break-in or a glass breaks, it does its job and protects the place. I feel perfectly safe.

I had the old school keypad which was the yellow one that lights up and you gotta manually hit the numbers. I also had an indoor camera, which was the old one and didn’t have audio. It was only a video for my living room area going into the kitchen area. I had a certain corner where I was able to capture the whole front of the house from the entrances. I ended up wanting a doorbell camera and ADT wanted to charge me 100-some-odd dollars. I told them I'm not paying for it. I've been with them for so long and I hear it on the radio how they're giving away anything else free to new customers. And they wouldn't give it to me.
About a day or two later, I had a supervisor call me out of nowhere telling me about my inquiry about a doorbell camera and that they wanted to charge me and I refused. She said she was calling to let me know I’ve been a loyal customer for over 10 years with them and she’s gonna send the guy out. She asked me to give her a good day for me and they’re gonna install it and not charge me anything. Plus, she’s gonna lower my bill by $10. So we went with that. Everything worked.
When I was leaving, they told me not to take anything with me because when I moved to the new house, everything I had was old and none of it was gonna work. I asked about the doorbell because I just bought it from them for $118 a couple of months ago so I could hear the bell ring in the house. She said that was not gonna work either. So, I went with the DIY. ADT sent the package to my new address with everything that I wanted. It was the same thing I had in my existing address, which was a keypad, the window sensors, the door sensors, and the indoor camera with voice, video and everything they sent to me in the box. And they also sent me the doorbell for outside.
My daughter opened up the box when we went to the new house. She was excited about it. I still wasn't living there and some guy called me. He's supposedly their number-one sales guy from Jersey. He asked if he could meet me there on a Saturday and that he just wanna check out what I have because everything's gonna be brand-new. He would like to get this commission. I told him I have Blue and I’m just gonna go with it. He told me it was junk and he wanted to see what ADT gave me. He drove in, met me, opened the box up, went to the box and said the box was garbage.
I have crank-out windows and nobody is gonna crowbar my window open. If anything, they're gonna break the glass to come in because it's a big, long glass and it's a crank-out window because that's how that works. ADT has glass smash sensors, which look like little hockey pucks, and the guy said he’ll put three of them in the house. It'll cover all the windows and I’ll be good. I trusted him and he got me to sign, telling me that he was gonna take the do-it-yourself and return it. He asked me to sign, saying that he took it and that it's returned. I told him I wanted everything that I had at my existing address.
My main reason for going with ADT again at the new address was for the doorbell camera which will capture my outside for packages and my driver. And I wanted the indoor camera, which was cool. The guy turned around and asked if he could come next Saturday to start the installation. I said I didn't have internet yet. I gave him the date that Verizon was coming to switch over my old address to the new address and that I would call him the following weekend. He said I need internet for the indoor camera and the doorbell but he wanted to get the installer out this weekend to do everything else. And to call him when they get there in the morning. Because by the time he gets to me, they already have my internet up and running, and they'll just tighten everything up and finish it. I didn’t wanna do that and said I’d rather they just come and do everything. He said he wanna get this commission. He convinced me and talked me right into it.
The guy had his guy come out and when they did, he had me sign that little iPad that they walk around with and told me to initial everything. There were 19 pages and I asked if I gotta read all of it. He said no and it's just stating that they were here and got the job done. The week that the internet is put in, they’ll be out that same week to finish the job. But he never came. I never got my doorbell camera and for almost one year, ADT was charging me every month. I wasn't paying them and every three months, I repaid them, and then they would credit me for the audio and video.
I got a supervisor on the phone and I explained everything to him and told him that after my keypad was installed, there were over 100 messages of him promising me to come back and finish the job. ADT was telling me that they looked into my contract and I initialed that the job was done, with just the keypad and the smash glass sensors. But that's not what I wanted the system for. I haven't even used it.
On moving-in day, I was supposed to have the doorbell camera and had I had it, I would have been okay. I got arrested moving into the house with a U-Haul truck outside. The upstairs neighbors called the cops and told them that I threw their phone down a flight of stairs, which I didn't. They came out screaming, yelling that they recorded me and that I was going to get arrested. I was fighting with them about their dog for the month that they lived there while I was fixing up the house and the camera was gonna stop that. I moved in and there was a big argument with all of them. They came out and said they were recording me and I was going to jail.
The husband pushed the wife and the phone went down the stairs. I went into my house and 10 minutes later, there were 16 cops at my house and I got arrested. I was in jail for three days and I had a case for five months. If I had the cameras I was supposed to have, I could have shown the cops what went on here. And they would've ended up arresting them.
I can't stand ADT, which is why I owe them money and I have no intention of paying it. I was in Brooklyn, my existing address, and the Ocean Court with them. I had no problems with them and they were good. I moved and I'm in a new house now in Staten Island for two years and I don't even know how to use the keypad. It's a new one and it's digital. The only time that that keypad was ever activated was when the installer came in and showed me how to use it. So the only thing that's being used in my house is that bing, bang, bing, bang every time you open up a door. It drives me crazy.

Most of our friends have gone with the ones that are online. I don't trust that, so we’ve stayed with ADT. When we couldn't get the computer thing to work, ADT would tell me how to figure it out. It has been very nice and they're fine. There are some things I would wish ADT would update. They do for new people. There's a lot of modernization of the program since we've been with it. We've never heard anything about any of that. We don't have probably half of the things they now offer. All we have is the alarm system that we turn on and off at night. They've been satisfactory, and we are too lazy to look around and see what other things are available. We're comfortable.
We don't have a problem with the alarm going off for no reason. If the alarm went off because I opened the back door without turning it off first, we would call immediately about that, but it would take a long time to reach somebody, which makes me worried about if it were for real. They do not respond quickly enough. If they were a burglar breaking into my house, I would have to go through four people before I would get any help. That frighten me. I would appreciate if ADT would upgrade that and accept that. We've had that happen five times. But it was because we triggered the alarm because we let the dog out and forgot that it was on. If it hadn't been just because we triggered it if I let him out, we didn't reach anybody. Nobody reached us for a while.

I've had a very positive experience with ADT. They were recommended by friends who have their system. The salesperson was very attentive and understood what I needed. Didn't oversell me and gave me a great package at a good price. The installation in our two properties went very smoothly. The installers were efficient, knew what they were doing and did what needed to be done. The operation is great. Their app is very easy to activate and deactivate. The coverage is solid for my needs, as well.

I'm not happy with ADT right now. We've had it for several years, and when we first got the system, we were very happy with it. But two years ago, we upgraded our system, and it has been nothing but a disaster. We wish we had never done it.
We ended up very frustrated with them because after the work on adding some cameras to our property out in the country, we didn't have the motion sensor anymore in one of our outbuildings. We want that, and they really couldn't give us any good reason other than the upgrade didn't accommodate that.
They had two cameras installed, and only one of them still works. It gives us live videos and alerts when somebody comes near the house or near the door.
Customer service does try to help. I think the last time we called about the camera, we were on the phone with her for almost an hour, but they have time limits on their calls, and when we got disconnected, no one called us back.

Within a month and a half of the call, the next thing we got was an email that our fees have gone up significantly.

So, it's still not fixed what they were supposed to fix.
The company that we were with called us to let us know that someone was in our house. It scared me so bad that I canceled that company that I was with and I called ADT thinking that they would be more secure. The guy said I'd be more secure with ADT than I was with the alarm system that I had. But I've never been happy with them because when they come out, they always wanna charge me and until this day, it's still not working. I kept telling them, "It's not working." Then ADT would say, "Okay. We solved the problem. We're not gonna charge you." The next thing I know, they charged me and the bill goes up, too. I spent six months arguing with them, "Hey, look. They have not fixed the problem." They said, "But the guys came out to your house. You need to pay them."
I've been battling with ADT back and forth. I just went ahead and paid the bill. When I called back, the lady said, "Well, your thing is outdated. We need to upgrade you."

We put ADT at our cabin over three years ago and then we put it at our home in town about six months later. Our experiences with the sales representatives on the phone was fine but when they came to the house, I was not pleased, especially the one that came and put it in the cabin on Pine Oaks. It was at the time of COVID and he was real cocky about it. We were closing up our cabin and it was October and I had a time crunch, so I took it. He didn't explain anything, which is part of the problem. Then we had to put it in town about six months later and that person was much nicer and no complaints that way, except for the one in town doesn't work. I called to talk to ADT and they told me how to set the screen and I did. I set it after I got off the phone and the alarm went off again. I don't use it to set the alarm on the house when I'm gone so, it's useless.
We've talked to ADT a few times and we have not been happy with them. One time, I must have waited a half-hour for somebody to come on the phone. By the time he answered the phone, we had left the cabin. I was talking to him without the benefit of everything right in front of me and he was very disrespectful. Our cabin contract is up and our house will be up in the spring. We are seriously looking at some other forms of security because we haven't had good luck with ADT.

We decided to go with ADT due to the background and the longevity that ADT has been in the business of protecting homes. The functionality is superior to the other products that are on the market. Everything has been streamlined. It's easy to pick up. ADT's products make it even easier. We purchased the key fobs. They can be called key fobs, which my wife use often because she couldn't remember the code. She walked in the house one day and I set the alarm but she didn't know how to get on the keypad and do it. So, she remembered, "I got the key fob." That was worth it. She could have just sat there for a while and it would turn into a chaos. It worked out.
I came in one night and I forgot that I set the alarm and it went off. I was contacted by one of ADT's representatives. He asked me what was going on, who I was. I gave him my password. He made sure that everything was safe. Once we got the alarm deactivated, he contacted me to make sure that everything still was safe, which was going beyond service because he could have just said, "Everything's safe," and went on about his day or night. But he made sure that that everything was okay for a second time. That made me know that we made a good choice of getting ADT as a home service security system. It's the best security system you can get. And your home insurance gives you 10% off. That's a plus, too.

We had construction done on our house and after that, we decided to start ADT up again. We had had them for a long time, since 2008, and they recommended upgrades. They gave us a quote ahead of time for everything then they came out and did the upgrades. As the installer was leaving, he asked us to quickly sign on his iPad. What we didn't know was he had charged us over $1,000 of additional installation fees for putting in different window sensors that we didn't know we were paying extra for. It took us several months to realize it, and when we did, I made several attempts to get it figured out with ADT.
Over the course of six months, I've spent three hours at least trying to reach someone to get this figured out. They would say they had to escalate it to their management and that they were gonna have them call me back, but they wouldn't. Then I'd have to go through the whole process again. Nobody seemed to be able to find the story each time. I'd have to retell it then they'd all of a sudden find it in their records.
Finally, in the summer, we told them we wanted them to freeze our payments until it got figured out. That seemed to have gotten their attention. But in the end, when I got to speak with someone to settle it, she said she was not willing to give me money. She made it sound like I was stupid for not having figured it out sooner and I've used it all this time.

Initially, I wanted to go with ADT because I liked everything that they were presenting, and I knew a couple of people who had them. But my experience with them was horrible. They frauded me into buying a system that was supposed to be a 24-hour recording for the cameras, and they’re not. Somebody vandalized my car, and that’s the reason why I wanted the 24-hour camera.
And how I found out was maybe last year when I was calling for my daughter. And once I gave my information, a man from ADT let me know that I didn’t have a 24-hour recording. And I bought a whole new system that cost me 3,000-something dollars. And they were charging me for the 24-hour recording. And it took me six months to get that off.
And then, they never even gave me a refund on the product that I had. They kept saying that they’re gonna give it to me, but they never did. And then every time I would call in, the phone would hang up. So, they’re a horrible company. They lie, and they steal. And I just told them to give me the refund or let me out of the contract, but they won’t do either-or. I can’t wait until my contract is over.
So, it doesn’t meet my expectations because I’m still paying for something that I don’t even have the use of. I paid for a whole new system, the Ring, the cameras, the inside. Everything is brand-new, and it doesn’t work to my capability or what I thought I was getting.
But when the alarm goes off, they’re usually okay because they’ll call and make sure everything is okay. They don’t always call if I turn the alarm off on my phone. They’ll just send a message saying that someone disabled the alarm. But they don’t call to check up on it and to make sure I’m really okay. And I’m supposed to have a two-way, and they don’t listen to that to make sure that I’m okay.
So, I just think it’s a horrible service. They don’t live up to their product, and they also don’t stand by if they make an error. And I don’t pay my bill on time because of the fact of I’m waiting for them to correct the bill. And the lady called me and said that I should pay a certain amount, and they’ll also pay a certain amount. But they didn’t take that off. And usually, I pay my bill six months in advance. But they know why I’m not doing it.
So, they don’t live up to the ADT that they used to before. I don’t know if a new company owns them, but they’re horrible. My daughter had the service, but she’s selling her house. And they probably get over on you because when you get a new package plan, you’re supposed to have a motion detector. But they didn’t give my daughter one, and they made her pay for one after I put an extra two grand into the house to make sure all her windows were secure. So, it’s really horrible.

I called ADT who was supposed to put me in a Google Nest but ended up with a third party. I don't know how that happened but they told me they were ADT. It was confusing. I had to cancel because that was not ADT. I have a doorbell that only picks up 15 seconds. I pay ADT $55 a month for 15 seconds of a pick-up which is ridiculous. They should bring out a product that works but they told me that's all they get. ADT is not worth it. I've been with ADT for 20 years but they don't help me. If they helped me, I still wouldn't be in a position I am for years. I would not recommend them to anyone. I'm looking in every different place and I won't have ADT by the next year.

The service is not the best. I'm not a big fan of the system. There are other simpler products that can do the job more accessibly. I have an extension of Wi-Fi and still the connection is not great. The sensors are outdated. ADT wanted thousands of dollars to replace those. I don't use it as it's intended to be used. It's not the greatest. I've called ADT before. But because it gives me a discount on my insurance, I decided to keep it. Other than that, the camera quality is fine. Also, the people I dealt with during the installation and the sales part were fine. The installer had an assistant he was training. It was good. It took them less than an hour.

I've been with ADT since 2021 and I'm overwhelmed with it because that was the first security service I had and thus far, I've been well-pleased. The salesperson was very informative and answered all questions that I needed to have answered and assured me that if anything happens and I need their service, they would be on-call. The person who installed the system was excellent. He was a very good communicator, kept in touch with me and if I want to move the cameras from one place to another, he made sure I could do it. He gave me a whole bunch of information that was very useful since then. ADT is a good service and I would highly recommend them. The price is a little high but I’m very satisfied with what I had initially and I haven’t gotten anything extra since then.

I’ve had ADT for about 15 years, and I have good relationships with them. I have nothing to complain about because everything with them has been good, from my interaction with the sales representative, the installation experience, to the features of the package that I got.

ADT was contracted with the new home builders, so they came to my house, and then I signed up with them. And I haven’t had any trouble with them. And whenever I had issues or anything, I usually just contacted the person who installed it, and they’ve always taken care of me. So, they’re great. They helped me every single time.

ADT has been around forever, so I thought I’d go ahead and give them a try. And I love it. I really do. I’m completely sold on it. I think it’s great. It works. And it’s easy to use. It’s on my phone. So, if I accidentally forgot to turn it off in the morning, I can turn it off downstairs on the pad provided by ADT. So, I feel secure with the system, and I’ve been happy with it.
And getting in contact with ADT sometimes has been really easy. And there have been a few times where it’s not. But I hardly ever reach out to them. And I know I’ve called because one of the sensors on the sliding glass door or something had come off. And usually, the service has been good, and then there’s been a couple of times where it was kind of mediocre, but never bad.

I have a friend that has ADT and they’ve been good about responding to her so I thought I’d give them a try and I’ve been very pleased with them. When I first called them, I talked to a representative and he was very rude so I wasn’t gonna call back. And then someone called me and wanted to know why I didn’t return the call and I told him. He took care of everything I needed and said I’d get the equipment because they were so rude with me. He’s been very nice so I thanked him.
I’m very happy with the system so far. I love that I can arm and disarm it from my phone. And one time, I got a text that the basement door and garage door were open which was an unusual activity. And so, I called and my son was over there working on something in our basement and he left the basement door open.

ADT is easy to use. When I had it switched over, their customer service rep, Tina, was excellent help. I am pleased enough with ADT. If I ever moved, I would look at ADT again. I would also recommend them to other people. I'm considering adding some security things and I'll be asking ADT if they offer it. The only thing is my ADT signs that go out in the yard have started crumbling and I would love to get some replacements for those signs that warn people that I'm with ADT.

I wouldn't want ADT to come and install again. He didn't know how to do the programming and solve some problems. But for the service, ADT does pretty good. I haven't had any problem with it since I had it installed.

ADT has been fine. I've had my system for many, many years, and their techs have always been friendly. I like the product and the quickness of the response. I accidentally set the alarm off it one-time. They contacted me within 30 seconds, so I was pleased with the quick response time.

I wanted to cancel ADT, but they won't let me. They said I have a contract with them until 2025. I had a negative experience with them. They mailed me my batteries, and I tried to change my batteries myself but I couldn't. I'm a disabled veteran. They sent some guy out here who changed the batteries but I had to pay $153. That was crazy. It shouldn't have taken him that long to change the batteries to where I had to pay for it. The lady had told me on the phone that they weren't gonna charge me, but they did. When there was a smoke detector in my house that was beeping, I couldn't figure out what it was. I messed with the ADT system to change the battery and it set something off. ADT called me and that was the only time they did me. I never set my alarm because it's pointless.

Once the ADT sensors were installed, it was simpler to stay a customer than to move and do something else. I haven't been thrilled to death with the service. But I just have not moved. I've had other things going on. I've tried to get customer service on because I wanted to talk about some things that I wanted to improve. There's something going on with the sensors. I have wanted to get a service person out here to see them. But I have been totally unsuccessful when I have gone through their website and called. It ends up sending me into a phone tree that I never get a response on.

We've been ADT customers for a while and they have been responsive when I needed them. The price is a little high though. I spend 70 dollars a month. But I haven't had any problems with the equipment. They replaced the old telephone monitoring system and I now have an internet-based system. The first key fob broke after less than a year so I just put it aside and didn’t use it. I complained to ADT and they replaced it with the same type. If I put that on my key chain, it's gonna break again. So, I found this little rawhide shoelace and it’s flexible enough that it doesn't bend and stress the material that the key fob is made of. The ring is mounted in the corner. It's quite a thin piece of plastic that has the metal in it. The older ones were much better designed. I'm not sure if the signal is strong enough to get from the garage to the alarm pad so I find it difficult to use when I go out.
