    My system is outdated. I don't have the front door monitoring. The cameras were good, but they're not good at night time because I could hardly see. I tried to get one fixed, but it remained the same. Also, I was about to call ADT to see that I only had $1500 that I have to pay off but it seems I pay more. I pay more for the monitoring and paying back that $1500. The monitoring is up to $65 a month, plus I pay only $27 for paying up that $1500. ADT agreed with me somewhat.

    We've been with ADT for 10 years and the system has been excellent. I didn't use a lot of the features. But the announcing when the door opened like you know somebody's coming in, I like that part of it. The setup was fine. The man on site was very helpful. However, the disconnection was horrible. I had to speak to five people before somebody could take my call to disconnect. They kept transferring me to different departments and that was not pleasant.

    The ADT system has been working flawlessly. It's reliable and easy to use. I also like the mobile app, being able to arm or disarm the system from my phone. When I call them, someone answers. I'm not on hold very long. A year ago, the bill went up a little bit. The rep told me there was a price increase because things went up. I told him I haven't changed my service so I didn't think my bill should go up. He got my bill to stay the same which was fantastic.

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

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

    We have the touchpad which ADT is not offering anymore but they were when we got our system. We've had trouble with it over the years. The last time we did, we called and the representative told us that they're not supporting it anymore. They just offered an upgrade to the system for a lot of money. It is difficult to get someone on the phone, difficult to get an answer, and difficult to get a resolution other than upgrade.

    We have a lot of devices in the house and every time we have a problem, it gets put back on us, that we've got to deal with it. ADT doesn't wanna send anyone out. They only wanna try and fix it over the phone, but it's impossible to fix it over the phone. They put some of the glass break sensors so high. We are senior citizens, and we can't get up there, but they tell us it's our responsibility to change batteries.

    I've always used ADT. I've been with them for 20 years in different houses. It's a great service. I've never had to use it and that's good news. But I have total confidence that if I needed it, things would work. I got an upgrade a year ago because I was aware there was a possibility. I took advantage of that and went to wireless. When I moved in three years ago, it was a hardwire. Now, it's all digital or wireless, which I like.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I would never recommend ADT to anyone again. It was an installed product, not the portable products that they do. They installed everything at the townhouse. I lived there for two years. I sold it. I called ADT a month before I moved and said, "I am moving out of my townhouse. I need to shut off the service." They said, "Okay. You owe for the last year." I said, "I don't have the equipment. I don't have it." "You have to move it to a new location or else you have to pay for the last year of your contract." I would get it if it was portable equipment, but it wasn't portable equipment. I couldn't take it with me. I paid them $722 last week. They debited my account.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I'm impressed with the fact that ADT is nationally recognized and rated, and is not some no nothing company. I'm also impressed with the quality of the people there. When I call in to the main office, they're always capable and friendly. I just had closed-circuit TV installed around my home a couple of years ago. The guy was good. He gave me a cell number, since I have other problems.

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

But for some reason, he left and we were dealing with some other ones. They acted like they knew what they were doing. After my doorbell started messing up, the camera wouldn't work. That was our main problem and we left ADT because of that. You can call the service man and he comes and fixes whatever and leaves. But it wasn't working. So, then I'd have to call again. I called several times. They came out several times. We did not like that. We did not like the fact that for some reason, the doorbell never worked. It was coming on at all hours of the night, which scared me. The camera was not working so I had no idea if somebody was out there. That wasn't a good feeling.

    One of the guys tried to get up in the attic. Then he said he couldn't do that. So he used one of my own plugs in the front living room, which I don't have that many. He plugged something in there and said that it should work. When he left, I saw him on the camera and that was the last time that I called anybody after so many tries of coming and trying to fix the doorbell and it was not working, and it was going off at all hours of the night from morning. The alarm system itself was great. But I wanted more, besides having the alarm. I wanted to see which was the reason why we got the cameras.

    ADT was the only one that would come and give me service at the time. I have since found out that SimpliSafe would have been a bit cheaper, but I was impressed with the gentleman from ADT that came and set everything up for me. I have my security system at my cabin up on a remote mountain. Three years ago, it was broken into and they stole everything I had in there. I decided I had to do something. I went with ADT and I've been impressed with my service. I was up here on the 4th of July, having a big cookout and we set the fire alarm off accidentally. I got a call immediately and was asked all the questions and I was impressed with how the lady handled the service. That helped also even though it was an accident. I was impressed with how quick they responded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I've been very happy with ADT. For 32 years, I've been very satisfied. Any time that somebody opened the door or we forgot to turn off the alarm in the morning, it would go off within seconds, we would get a call from ADT. But with this problem, I couldn't get ahold of them. I've been trying to reach them and that hasn't happened. We live in Tuolumne County which is directly east of Sacramento, our capital. Our county has put their fire alarms in the hands of some company in Los Angeles. I came home from being away for a few days, had a letter from this company in Los Angeles stating that we had not registered our fire alarm. I called them. They wanted me to send them $29. It's not the $29 that makes me mad. It's the fact that I don't have a fire alarm. I only have a burglar alarm. We've been in this house for 32 years, and I've paid my quarterly bill. Nothing has been said about a fire alarm.

    A few years ago, because we had the pad on the wall so long, they put in a newer one because we were having some minor problems with it. They did that. It was a bit different from the one that was in there. Now, it looks like a policeman's hat on one of the buttons. It has flames on another. I said, “What does that mean?” The guy said, “That doesn't mean anything. You have the same thing.” I called the outside company. I said, “I don't have a fire alarm. All I have is a burglar alarm on all of our windows, all of our doors, as well as a few cameras in the house.” “ADT sent us a list of everybody that has a fire alarm. So, you need to pay this money.” I said, “I have tried to call.” After I talked to this person, I tried to call ADT. All I got was a busy signal or, “We'll call you back.” I never heard a thing. I can't get anybody to come out here for free to tell me if I have a fire alarm.

    I pay enough money that my husband thinks we're wasting our money with ADT anyway. But we live out in the country, and I feel more secure with it. There is a man who lives in Tuolumne County here who works for ADT. Whenever we had a minor problem, he would buzz by in his little white van that says ADT on it. I tried to call him to ask him if he could come and tell me if we had a fire alarm to find out so I could either pay the $29 or tell him to fly a coop. I couldn't get ahold of him. I've tried ADT numerous times to get through, to all the ADT numbers that I have. I couldn't find anybody to answer.

    I will not pay the $29. I'm sure that one of these days, I would have a sheriff drive up to my thing and tell me that I would go to jail because I haven't paid my $29 for this thing. However, ADT has not been responding to me. I would like somebody to come out here, but I don't wanna have to pay a $50 service charge for somebody to come and tell me I have something or I don't, that I don't feel that I've been told that I have. I'm just letting the bill sit on my desk. I'm waiting to see what happens.

    ADT has worked. I just had troubles here and there. For example, what happened with the battery last year with one of the hurricanes where they tried not to send anybody out, but they sent a battery replacement for me to do it myself. Everything was well taken care of. The panel was in a rough situation to get in there and change the thing. It was tight to work with. But I got it figured out. I would leave the house, close the garage door, go to the car before I set the alarm. Every once in a while, it wouldn't work. Someone else had told me it's because of the aluminum that they have on the outside of the house. But most of the time, it seems to work.

I stayed with them because of the price. I paid half of what it costs people now. I had a false alarm one time when I was out of town, and it happened to be that they got their words crossed. It was actually some other resident that it happened to. And for some reason, they showed that my back sliding door had been opened, but it hadn't.

    Nothing's impressed me about ADT. It works some. I can set the alarm, but I don't think all the sensors are right. I can't see one of the ones on the side of the yard. They said it was our internet. They couldn't read the internet. So, we put in a router down there right by the door, and it still doesn't pick up. They can't see all the cameras. I emailed the rep and told him what was going on. He never responded. So, we've been in limbo for a few years ever since we got it. We just moved in four years ago, and we went with ADT. I spent a whole week, when we moved in, with the technicians. The entire week of my time was taken up with them. They couldn't get the cameras to go. They put another sensor in the garage because there's a door in there, and it kept going all week. I tried to get work done, but I couldn't. They were asking me questions. It's a new house for us. They used part of the old system that was in.

    I had four higher level of installers come in. The original people couldn't get it to work. They got two more. I was getting pissed off, and this other guy came. It's been frustrating. We do set it when we go out, but I don't know if all the sensors on the windows, the alarm system, or the smoke detector work. I know we have to bypass the kitchen window for some reason. I think it's because there's a newer window. It's picking it up, but it doesn't do anything. It says, “Bypass the kitchen window,” with the bypass to get it to work. Overall, I'm paying for a system that awfully doesn't work. I paid for four cameras and sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't.

Eventually it was, "Can't you just tell us what to do?" We found out we could. It was a hassle to have to call ADT and have them to come out to do it.

    These individuals are deceptive and give misinformation. Avoid them unless you want to be trapped in long-term contracts and deceived. We had a three-year contract at one of our business sites. I inquired if we could transfer the service and contract to a new site if we moved, and they affirmed. However, upon moving, during the installation of sensors, which we owned, at the new site, they presented a tablet for me to sign, supposedly for the installation. They neglected to mention that in very fine print, they were extending the contract by another three years. We discovered this surprise when our original three years were nearly up, and we intended to switch to a month-to-month service. They claimed we signed up for an additional three years when we moved.

    Upon reviewing the contract on a larger screen, not their small tablet, the fine print indeed included an extra three years. I confronted them about this dishonesty. I asked if there were any fees to transfer the existing contract with one year remaining, and they said no. I proposed a compromise to settle for half, which I felt was unjust, but it would resolve this predicament; however, they refused. They showed no concern for their sales representatives' dishonesty, insisting I signed it and must pay. I advise staying away. I am contesting this unscrupulous company's actions up to court if necessary. They deceive and mislead customers to take your money. There are many other companies that are honest and do not require long-term contracts.

Because I have knocked them off several times opening the windows, and I gotta retool it back on. But for the most part, I'm satisfied with my experience with ADT. I feel safe. We were gone for a month and a half on a trip, and we came home, and we never had an issue when we were gone as far as the alarm going off or anything like that with anybody trying to get in.

    I had another company for quite a while, then they started going crazy on us and not doing what they should have done. I needed to change it and I went with ADT. They gave me a good deal and they came out right away. When they put the service in, they were very polite. I also asked questions and they answered nicely.

    The system has been working out really good. You press the button, then you press it off and you press it on. It goes off if we forget to shut it off, so we know it works. I've also had text messages from ADT saying that the alarm went off and I just check it with my son. And everything was okay. The price is good too because before I was paying a lot more. Hopefully, the alarm system does what it's supposed to do.

    It would be really expensive to tear everything out of my house but I've been wanting to do it since the day the ADT system was installed. It doesn't really work and it keeps breaking. Customer service is awful and the technicians are really unqualified. The customer service reps can't do anything about any of the things that we need them to do. We've called to have somebody come out and fix our back porch light, which hasn't been working for three years, and every time somebody comes out, they tell us that it's not the light, it's the relay. So we put it in a relay and then it still doesn't work. And then somebody comes out and says it's the light. They said that all we have to do is restructure, but it still doesn't work. It's been a long time and I'm just giving up. There are so many things that I hate about this service and I would tell others to run very far away. from ADT.

The battery goes down and we have no protection at all to see our backyard. This has been going on for about four years at least. Then, if they come, they are gonna charge me for the person to come out so we've just been dealing with it. I've told them we're too old to climb ladders but that doesn't seem to be working out.

    A lot of ADT's equipment was already installed in our new build. Initially, when we bought this house, we had a salesperson calling to get us to upgrade, but they were really pushy and nasty. We had someone knock on the door and they were great. So, we went with them but then the person that called on the phone previously called us again and was like, "Hey, your builder has an agreement with us. You can't just sign with a door-knocker. You have to sign with us." I was like, "Your agreement was with the builder, not me." It was ADT, but it was like its own little side branch of it. It was weird.

    As far as the ADT equipment, the smoke detectors kept going off. There was nothing that we could do to keep them from going off. We sprayed them out, we did the reset, we changed out batteries, and they kept randomly going off in the middle of the night or in the middle of the day. So, we had to have them removed from our system because the fire department kept showing up because of those smoke detectors. And that's alarming for them and for us in the middle of the night. So, now, we pay for that service, but we don't have them attached to the service anymore just because they kept messing up.

    I travel a lot and my wife is pretty happy to have the ADT alarm system. She likes the service. We had a technician come out and we upgraded some of the system, and we were satisfied. They were what we expected. ADT got new products out since we started with them. It's gone more wireless now. The prices have gone up as well. They are no better or worse than any other security system but with them, we have a monitoring system while some of those home systems are not monitored.

    We've had good responses with ADT. The alarm goes off and we don't get it shut off here in the house in time. Usually, somebody calls us before they call the sheriff. But I don't know how fast the sheriff would get here though they're only two miles from our house. Also, my wife and I are not sold on the video cameras. I don't know if we really need them. I put in a Ring doorbell. We get tons of Amazon packages and this way, I've got a video of whoever might come up to steal a package. Nonetheless, I've recommended ADT to others, especially if they're a USAA client. I've got a daughter who I recommended ADT to. If they ever put in the system, they should go with ADT.

    I have ADT on a farmhouse I own. It has not been working properly. It beeps at irregular times. I hit cancel to turn it off. I had no idea whether it monitors my farmhouse. I already spent an hour and a half on the phone with someone in a foreign country who was very difficult to understand. I kept asking him to repeat himself. I could not go through that again in order to get it figured out what was wrong. So, I have ignored the fact that I pay the system every month and it's not working. Other people have said to me, I should have said, "May I speak to someone who speaks English as a first language?" Now I know to do that. Someday, I will have the patience and say, "I need to talk to someone who is better at English."

    On my Ballard house, the system performs fine. I feel safe. However, the back door monitoring little piece fell off the back door. I would have to try to figure out how to make that work. So, I override it. I understand from the latest repairman that it's an old system, which cannot be fixed. ADT wants me to put in a new system and take on a contract. I'm gonna sell this house so I don't wanna take on a contract. I'm not willing to upgrade now. I'm limping along. The last time they came to fix something, it was minor. They told me they couldn't. They came back. They were insistent I would have to pay for the repeat visit for the tech to do what he should have done the first time. I didn't like what they told me.

If they're not able to reach me, they go to my second person or my third person. They try to make an attempt to reach someone. Also, their staff is well trained and are very respectful and professional.

    About three years ago, I called and tried to speak to sales, stating that I was a customer for many years and a loyal customer and the system that I have is 27 years old. I asked if they could do something to upgrade it and they gave me an upgrade, but it was so much money that I needed to pay. It was insane. I don’t want to stay with what I have. But I also reported that on one of my keypads, the numbers are faded and to upgrade that, that was so much money too. Considering I've been a long customer that never fails with payment, I would think ADT will recognize that and do something. It made me think back then that maybe it was time to look at another company. But I guess I'm loyal.

Shouldn't that be a regular sensor?” I also asked, “Can I put the motion detector in my garage? Hardly nobody goes there, especially at night.” The installer said, “You're right,” and he did it for me. The first team didn't do it right.

    The customer service does what they're told, but they never answer my questions to the level that I want them to. I'm not satisfied with ADT. They were not truthful regarding the price and the equipment. They forgot to tell me that every year, it goes up $10 for no reason. It started at 60 something dollars, and now it's up to $80. I don't like the service package as well. Every time I got a service contract and every time something's wrong with my panel, they don't charge me for the service, but then they charge me for the battery. Right now, my panel is saying low battery. I called them up and they said it's my outside alarm battery. I said, “Okay.

I ended up contacting him and he put in a different alarm on my double door for me. He answered my questions about the price, and then set it up in the same week.

Every once in a while, it won't connect to my phone and that gets aggravating sometimes. Everything else is perfect. The system always tells me when doors or windows are open, which is nice when someone has kids, too. It's spot-on. The smoke detector has worked great too. We had a little kitchen incident and the system alerted the fire station right away.

    To do everything on my phone is easy. If I forget to set the alarm, I don't have to get out of bed and get up. I can just do it straight from my phone, which is awesome. I'm very satisfied with that. Having a security system is nice especially when I'm away for work. I can check on my home and my family while they're in the house.

My account is still under my general contractor's name after 20 years, which I've asked them every year to change the name of my account. They're still not the best game in town but they have the cameras that I wanna put up. I've had them out of default. I would change them if I could. They have an appointment with me on Monday. So far, with me trying to upgrade my system, they've canceled three times. This has to do with the battery and workstations. I've put them to death to say, "Do not cancel the meeting because I'll rip the equipment out of my wall," finally. They're terrible at follow-up. Not great in every aspect, even down to their chatbot.

    When I did the troubleshooting for my battery, the system was down after 10 minutes. After that, they said, "We'll set you up with an appointment with a virtual person," but that didn't happen. After that, it went dead. ADT is not great at anything and they suck. That's unfortunate. Accountability: poor. But I kept getting direct mails every day from them that said, "Please sign up for this camera Nest thing." The direct mail kept coming to the bad name on the account, and nothing that was proactive. Last time I said, "You need to let me know next week when you can come." The tech said, "I absolutely will." But he did not. If the installer doesn't come on Monday, I will yank the system out of my wall, and it will be a different thing because they suck. My alarm has been going off and I'm not home.

    ADT is serving as well so far. We took the basic one with the front camera and the smoke detector. We are thinking that we could improve it. We may add cameras. But so far, so good. Upon the installation, we had a very helpful technician who knew his job. He did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend ADT because it served as well. We've not had any issues about it. The cameras are clear, and I would give it 10 out of 10. The only thing is they SMS a lot. Secondly, the one that we took has only 30 seconds video. It's continuous throughout. You can review it but it's only for 30 seconds. So, I would wish that they have it run longer and perhaps have it run continuously throughout so that it's easier to do review.

    The ADT system works well, so far. I feel safe. It lets me know when something out of the ordinary is going wrong. One time, my internet had gone out and I couldn't get my system to work. We called a representative and she showed me how to hook it back up to get it back on. However, it takes too long to sit there and wait on the line to be able to talk to someone. That's one of the things I hate about this new system and the things that they have now. If you're calling somebody, they're gonna say, "Hold on, I'm gonna transfer you to somebody," and then you gotta sit there and wait until a line comes over. You're on hold for five minutes on average.

    I looked at the ADT install-yourself system and avoided that because that's a little too complicated. I told the rep that we needed a basic system. From time to time, I get emails but have never been pressured into adding more bells and whistles. We didn't get oversold. ADT is quick to respond and the system’s worked. When I've needed to ask a technical question, they've been good. I installed Ring myself because they offered a connectedness with that. At that point, I got some technical help.

    ADT gives me and my wife peace of mind. We live in a neighborhood that's very watchful. We have burglars on a regular basis looking for something. There are people driving slow down the street, looking for open garages and stopping and testing cars. But we have very obvious signs of ADT in the front and back yards. No one has ever come on the property and I haven't seen on my Ring camera or in the backyard camera anyone looking around. The ADT sign helps to prevent that.

    I got ADT when we were first moving into our house. It was August and it was hot, and we were having a carpet installed. The house kept getting hotter. I went out and looked at the air conditioner. I’ve had the fan going, and I didn't see it immediately. I called an HVAC company, and it turned out when the technician came out, he said the plate that sits over the fuse was lying on the ground. When he opened the box, the fuse was turned upside down. It is the kill switch for a compressor which meant that someone had turned the fuse upside down and was going to make off with some copper tubing and destroy our air conditioner. That being the case, I got ADT to put lights on every side of the house. If somebody walks up to the air conditioning compressor, they can help themselves to it, but they're gonna be in daylight because I've got a large floodlight that casts a light on them.

So now, I have to wait for tomorrow for a tech to call so we can get that set up. They said they were gonna mail the battery to me and they're gonna walk me through it over the phone. Why aren't the techs coming out to do that? That's what I'm paying but I have not had a tech in a long time. Then if the battery hasn't arrived, we have to reschedule the phone call. Meanwhile, my back door can't lock because the battery is messed up so I have to bypass the system.

I wanted to find out about having some monitors outside the house for the areas like the driveway and the backyard.

    It was straightforward with ADT. I told them I had a house that I wanted to secure. They sent out a technician and he installed the equipment. I have had an instance that I tried to test the alarm and I just let it run. But ADT never called me to ask if I was okay. I don't like calling ADT to do any repairs because it's very costly for them to send out a technician. A couple of days ago, I changed the battery on the control panel. When I was looking for a battery pack, I rang the doorbell on the ADT office here in Tucson, but no one came out. I went around behind the building and banged on the door. This gentleman came out and told me the serial number for the battery that I needed. I explained to him that I didn't wanna call ADT because I didn't wanna pay $300 for someone to come and replace the battery.

    I ordered a battery from Amazon and removed the panel. I saw a YouTube video on how to replace the battery and did it. Right now, the only thing is there is a motion sensor in the kitchen and I don't know if the sensors are worth anything. My house is very small. I only have two bedrooms. They installed the motion sensor in the front, in the living room, and one in the kitchen. The one in the kitchen fell off and I haven't taken the time to put it back up. I requested some adhesive tape from ADT and they sent it to me. But I don't think it's even needed. The alarm goes off when I open the back door when it's set. If I'm inside the house and I set the alarm, I don't think those things are reading me.

    Overall, ADT gives me peace of mind. It's worth the $43 a month. Every time I leave, I set my alarm either with my phone or on the keypad. When I went out of the country for a month, I called ADT before I left and told them to please sent somebody if the alarm would go off. However, I pay for the service but there is no return on investment. They should have a courtesy call. At least once a year, someone should come out, check out the system, and make sure that it's good. I've been watching commercials about Ring. It's a camera system that you can monitor your house with your phone. I'm thinking maybe I should switch to Ring instead of being with ADT. But I don't know how efficient Ring is compared to ADT.

    On 10/17/2024 my ADT account had a balance of $0.00. Today, 10/18/2024 it showed a balance of $-133.14. ADT UNLAWFULLY CHARGED my credit card. They did not have my permission to charge my credit card in OCTOBER. Doing so is a crime. When I called them they said that they would send a check. I told them that sending a check is unacceptable. Then they agreed to put the funds back to my credit card in 7 to 10 days. They charged my credit card in one day, they can return the funds in one day, not seven to ten days. That charge on my card incurred interest. This is yet another reason I left ADT after 17 years as a loyal customer.
