We had 24/7 cameras and a box in the back. Our cameras stopped working about 2 months ago and I called. You had no problem sending someone out to fix it. Well they said we needed new updated cameras for the 24/7 surveillance. Well he installed cameras and took the old cameras and box. Also charged us 895.00+ installation. Over $1000.00 Well these cameras only record clips of a couple of minutes and only when triggered. That isn’t what we wanted or needed.
We called several times and were told someone would come get the cameras and refund our money. Due to the multiple calls with customer service and no resolutions we cancelled your services. We are still being told that someone is coming to get the cameras and my $895 would be refunded. No one has called to set up the appointment nor has anyone picked up the equipment. I want my refund now and any charges credited. I am very frustrated and annoyed by your incompetent customer service.

This company is to be avoided at all costs. They are not run well. Their customer service representatives say inconsistent things. They refuse to respond to multiple letters I have sent regarding my dad's account. I called and they were unable to transfer me to a supervisor because of a problem with their system. The system they installed for my dad never worked right, the fire department was called out erroneously on more than one occasion, and now they are making it very difficult to cancel his contract. They are harassing a senior citizen and threatening to harm his credit simply because he refused to pay for a service that has never worked right. Seriously, AVOID THEM.

My home was destroyed by Hurricane Helene. I've been an ADT customer for over 15 years. The only thing they cared about was getting a $1,000 cancellation fee because the customer service representative said, "your insurance will cover it, why are you worried about it?" They showed lack of empathy and compassion. What they did show was American greed at its finest. I will never have ADT again.

We installed ADT about three years ago now and the security system we have no complaints about. It's easy to use, sends alerts if necessary. The few times we've triggered the alarm, ADT has been very prompt in calling right away to check and make sure we're alright. That being said, we were upsold on a "smart" thermostat and it was complete junk. It was improperly installed to begin with where it could connect to either the AC or the furnace but not both. When the weather changed we had to basically change the wiring to whichever we needed. We called ADT about it and the customer service rep my fiance spoke to didn't understand that we were calling about the thermostat until my fiance read off the product number. My fiance said he had said "thermostat" at least 6 times prior to that.
When I called, I was on hold for half an hour, and the rep I spoke to also had difficulty understanding what I was asking. Eventually, she said she would connect me to HVAC, which I assumed was a different department with ADT. It was not, she directed me to a local HVAC contractor. She had said that their techs that install these thermostats aren't fully qualified, which is why she directed me to HVAC. Frankly, I think if you sell a product you should provide support for said product. And have qualified people installing them to begin with. Especially since this is a paid service. In summary, just go for their security systems. But everything else, i.e and smart plugs, thermostats, etc, is junk and not worth it.

I have had ADT for over 12 years. Because of that I purchased solar through them. Well they decided to cancel their solar division, but supposedly still provide support. I contacted them because of storm damage (I live in Florida). I didn’t ask for anything other than support to find answers to my question (nothing financial as I knew they didn’t owe me anything other than support). Phone support pushed me to chat support. Chat support pushed me to online support, who pushed me back to phone/chat/online support, etc.
All I needed was a contact to their partner warranty support. I have since cancelled anything to do with ADT and will never recommend, use, support or deal with them again. I will also post negative views monthly to ensure no one ever has to deal with what I had to deal with, which includes an $80k loss due to this company. DO NOT EVER USE ADT!!!

I always heard horror stories about ADT so I stayed clear, now that they bought my account from Alter all the stories have come true. I have always paid for premium service from Alter, this covers me if my system needs repaired or replaced, it's free of charge, ADT bought my account and will not honor the 3.00 a month extra I have been paying for years to Alter, ADT even has my contract posted on their web site in my account. I spent hours talking to people at ADT and they will not replace my system unless I pay 509.00. I talked to 5 different people and the one lady named Carmen said, "I am on your side; this is not right." The service Tech said the same thing then shook my hand and said, "Good luck."
The Service Tech even tried to get the system replaced for free because they do not have Alter parts to repair the system, I have now cancelled the account and have to pay 237.00 for that. One person it would cost me over 1000.00, one said I got it half price, "You will pay 509.00." The last lady I talked to said 189.00 and I told her, "I'm not paying anything because on my contract it states you will do it for free!" I am not that guy to give into their thievery, I have cancelled my account and also contacted a lawyer due to ADT not honoring my contract, just waiting on the next steps, do yourself a favor and stay clear of this company, there are many reputable companies out there that will not treat you like this, go to them and save yourself the frustration.

Good afternoon, On Sept 19, 2024 I had ADT install some equipment as a new customer in my home. For years I have been with Vivint. Due to the fact the tech could not help me fix my panel with Vivint. I went with ADT. I called and spoke to a lady on the 800 number. To set up getting ADT installed in our home the week before. She told me that some of Vivint’s equipment could be used with ADT. She put me on hold and came up with a plan of your equipment for our home. I told her I needed a camera outside in the back. She said a flood light camera. I was like, "Ok," and I needed a panel, garage door sensors, front door and back door sensors and some more stuff. The day the tech came out to our home Sept 19, 2024. He said that the employees that work the 800 number for new customers don’t know what they’re doing. I didn’t get none of the equipment I was told I would receive.
The tech who installed our equipment. Failed to tell me I had to make up a security password. He put his in and never told me it. I wasn’t able to arm my home for a week and a half due to this. I asked him to ensure I received my military discount. I’m still not sure if I have that. I asked for the equipment to be monthly. That wasn’t done instead I have to now make two more payments of 267.00 along with the 46.00 payment. I received an email for the tech stating what plan did I want weeks later. That the contract didn’t go through. This was weeks later. On his personal phone. I told him, "How do I even know if you're with ADT." I called right away the 800 number. And asked if my contract went through and was my monthly payment plan good. I was told yes everything was good. Something told me to call back and I was told the second time. No I have to pay 267.00 for two months for the equipment along with the 46.00.
I then text the so called tech’s number back and asked to speak to his boss. He told me that I said I called the 800 number and they told me everything was good. So I should be good. Huge disappointment with this company!!! I should’ve stayed with Vivint. Still haven’t received my 100.00 gift card for being a new customer. Just a huge disappointment. I stopped calling your 800 number. Absolutely NO help for me contract. If you're in the Harker Heights TX area be very careful.

DO NOT USE ADT!!!! I had ADT installed 2.5 years ago and was locked into a 3-year contract. When I set up services I had 3 door sensors, 1 Yale door lock, 1 motion sensor, and 1 indoor camera. I just moved 2 weeks ago and called ADT to do a relocation to have my services set up at the new address. I was told by the relocation representative that I had an older system and ADT has upgraded to a new portable system, but not to worry. ALL of the equipment I currently have will be included when the technician comes out to install new services, and that I would receive a FREE Google doorbell camera. I was told to leave all my equipment at the old address.
The relocation representative told me that I had 3 days from the install date to make changes if I needed to. I set the install date up for the following Friday, 1 week after my move. I asked the relocation technician if there was ANY way to have the services relocated WITHOUT starting a new contract, he told me I HAD to start a new contract. The technician came out and read the work order to me that included: 3 door sensors and 1 indoor camera. I asked him about the other equipment that was missing, he said he can add it on but it will charge me. I told him, "No, I've already paid for the equipment with my first install." The installation technician told me I had 3 days from the day of install to call and make changes and get the equipment sent out to me.
I called ADT 20 minutes after the technician left. I spent 3 HOURS on the phone, was transferred to 9 different people, and had to explain myself the situation every time. One representative was emailing with "leadership" and leadership DENIED my request to escalate the issue. They kept throwing the "CONTRACT" in my face. The contract states I HAVE 3 DAYS FROM THE DATE ABOVE (26SEP24) TO CANCEL. I told them at this point I'm not trying to cancel, I'm trying to make changes to my services to include what I've already paid for, on the error that your relocation technician did not fulfill correctly. I was told there were 2 options. 1. I cancel the contract (AT COST TO ME) or 2. They can add the door lock and the motion sensor for $220 and self-install, and they would give me $150 off of the total cost. I told them that neither option was happening. I made a complaint with the BBB.
I then called ADT headquarters and spoke to Brittney who said she would look into it and pull the audio recordings. I then received a bill from my old address that has a cancelation fee on it. I called and a representative told me that it was automatic and it would fall off in 30 days, and that ADT requires a 30-day notice. I explained that I didn't cancel, I transferred. I then received a phone call from ADT in regards to my BBB complaint who wanted to come to a resolution, which he just wanted to find a way to get me the product I was missing. I told him it should not have taken a 3-hour phone call, a complaint to BBB, and a call the headquarters to try and RESOLVE anything, and at this point, the only resolution I want is to cancel my contract completely, which he told me wasn't an option.
The representative told me he reviewed the phone conversation and tried telling me that the relocation technician didn't tell me that all services would transfer and that he didn't say a Google doorbell camera was included, I told him to send me the audio recording so I can verify that, and He told me it had to be subpoenaed. I told him if they didn't have anything to cover up, this wouldn't be an issue. I went to remove my new services from autopay, however, this is part of ADT's "new system" that the account has to be on autopay! All ADT cares about is making money and locking customers into contracts.

My friend had one of ADT's systems and I arranged to have one put in as well. For the most part, their service has always been good. Right now, I need to get someone to service my ADT because sometimes when the big trucks go by, it seems to set off one of my sensors on the side street and it's always that same one. And it always does it when I'm at work. So, I'm thinking maybe we need to put a new sensor on that one window. I'd tell my friends that I've been very pleased with ADT and that the system works. I usually get called right away when there's a false alarm and I've had no complaints with the system, other than we had to change a couple of sensors a while back. Their price is good, too.

I've been with ADT for five years now. I’m not very happy with it. If I call them and ask them to have a technician come help me, they're gonna give me a hard time. And I don't like that. I don't abuse asking for technical assistance. But I think if I ask for it, I should be able to get it. I pay my bill every month. I do everything I'm supposed to. I'm a good customer. I don't complain. My dilemma right now is, should I go with another service? Or should I stay with ADT? I haven't made up my mind.
On three doors in the house, the system doesn't work. Because I'm a very old guy, I'm just not comfortable with the system. I never turn it on ‘cause I'm afraid that it's gonna give a false alarm. I haven't tried to reach them in a while ‘cause I just gave up on it. But they have an 800 number and if I look around, I can find it. I can call customer service during normal business hours and they're nice enough, but they just don't wanna come out. They also wanna send me things that they send but they don't work. If it continues that I have problems with ADT, I'll probably move on.

10 years ago, ADT was great. It seemed they were ahead of their time. But now, nothing that they're doing is different from anyone else. I no longer like them. They suck. When my system goes out, I have to call a tech. A tech comes out but only does half the job. Then I have to call them back for him to come back again, not to mention they charge me $59 when a tech comes out. When my alarm system is down, they tell me they will have somebody come out in five days. But they don't give you a credit when you don't have a system. It's terrible. I'm actively looking for something better.

ADT is very reliable and their security system is very helpful. I have benefited a lot from it. The security system was in the house when I bought it 20 years ago. When the previous owner moved out, the system had to be transferred into my name. They came out, and then we bought some of their products. They wired the whole house and they put some of the sensors throughout the corners of the house. I do the monitoring manually from home, and I'll also set up the app to monitor the house.

I wasn't knowledgeable of any other company, so I went with what was noted by other community members, which was ADT. I saw the signs posted up outside. It's been five years since I had the system installed. It was easy to get ahold of their sales rep, but when I had issues in the past, it was a bit more challenging coordinating someone to come out and look at my system. I had a new door and I wanted their version of the Ring removed and installed in the back, but it was an issue. I have ADT because it's a protective mechanism for the house and my children, but if I had an option for a lower price with another company now that I'm aware of it, I wouldn't keep ADT. Their prices have gone up significantly. I started at 40 bucks, and now it's almost 70. I wish it was cheaper.
The customer service has been okay though. My fire alarm constantly goes off because of the steam in the shower, and they call me. Everyone's been making sure I'm okay and the family is okay. The product serves its purpose and it works. In the event that I have a real fire going on, ADT will alert the appropriate people in a timely manner.

I got ADT shortly after my husband passed. My children said I needed to have some type of alarm system put in the house since I was now here by myself. ADT was the one I was most familiar with and I knew other people who had it. I've had ADT since 2011 and the ease or difficulty to reach someone depends on what time of day I call. If it's early in the morning, it's good. Sometimes, when I call in the afternoon, I have to wait or I can't get anybody. I haven't had to contact anyone in a while though.
I've had a couple technicians come in, because there were some times when something had to be changed out. There was something wrong with the system and they had to come to the house and fix it. For a while there, we were having some problems when turning the alarm system on or off. I use my portal system a lot, especially when I'm coming in and out of the house, and the problem was very annoying. However, that's been over a year ago, and that seems to have been corrected. My system is old, and the technician told me that if I experience any more problems with it, he recommended I have the new system put in.

ADT is a good system when it works. During our first 20 years, we've had no problems. It's the last 20 years that we've had. We also have ADT for the last 11 years at another house in Delaware. Our alarm kept going out and they would send somebody out but would charge us every time it wasn't working. That was unbearable because it was their system. They came out and changed it at their discretion. We didn't want to change, but they did. They said it needed to be updated.
We had problems with the system for a long time, and they would send people out. We have to pay to keep having people come out and I understand that because they are a business but it'd be nice if there was some sort of program where they did a follow-up. We called three months ago about a carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that were part of ADT's system going off and changing batteries. They sent me a YouTube video to do it myself. I did, but the batteries didn't work. I had to pay an electrician to come back and replace it all. Part of it is not working now. He has to come back. It's hooked up to ADT's system, and their alarm keeps telling me there's a problem. I will not do ADT again when I move. I will use my own system. I'm a realtor and I have sold over 3,000 houses. I have recommended ADT to everyone but for the last year, I have not done that.

We like the ease of use of ADT. We moved. They came to the new house and installed a new unit. The technician was great and knowledgeable. I just have a basic plan. I do have an option to upgrade, but I haven't chosen to. We initially started at one price point, and then every nine months or so, they raise our rates. So now that their rates are well on point within the market, I have to consider changing for more features.

We've had ADT at two places. We've been here since '18. So, we have it a little over five years at the place right now. We like the reliability and dependability of ADT. They seem to be what they say they are and they've been very good. It's been economical as far as per month as a monitoring. So far, it's been a good thing for us. Every time we've needed something if something's gone wrong, we've got a service person here. The service people on the phone have been great. The techs that come out have been very good at doing what they need to do. So, when there's been an issue, they're there. Thankfully, we haven't had to use our system too much. We've had some issues with the smoke detector beeping and it's like they're not always registered. Other than that, everything's been good. I would recommend anybody to ADT. We feel secure.

We get a rude awakening because we don't have just the alarm on our system, we also have a siren 'cause my husband can't hear. My husband was gone at night sometimes and it always happened in the middle of the night when I was at home by myself. But if it happened that way, the person that called would stay on the phone with me until I could go check all the doors and make sure everything was alright and determine that it was a sensor battery and try to change them out.

The ADT guy was here too long for the installation of the system and he didn't set it up right. He didn't know what he was doing and he couldn't get it to synchronize with the keypad. Someone else had to come back out a week later and even when I called back in before ADT sent someone else out, they said the first tech was kind of here long. Aside from that, these last few months, my alarm would just go off at 4 o'clock in the morning. It would say the back door or side window was open, but they would be closed. That was very irritating. They fixed the side window problem but for the back door, they sent me out a new sensor and I just installed that with the tech last Saturday. So far, things have been good and we have no more problems. Other than that, the quality of the alarm can be better. But as long as I don't have any more issues in the middle of the night, waking up my wife and my baby, it's not bad.

The salesperson insisted that I put a sensor in a location that, to me, made absolutely no sense at all. I don't know whether they get paid or I have to pay for a certain number of those sensors or how it goes. But it was a very positive experience other than that. I had another guy come along for a dead battery. I told him, “This sensor doesn't make any sense to me. It bugs me because if I happen to open that door and leave it open, which I do frequently, then it's telling me that I can't set the system at night time.” He very nicely took it right off and it solved the problem. He was wonderful. Though the amount I pay keeps going up, I would recommend ADT.

The house that I rented had an ADT system set up. Someone came over and suggested about what I needed to do and if I wanted to add more cameras. But I already had three cameras, so I said that was fine. They reset up everything and it took about 45 minutes. I've been using them for three months now and everything has been good. I would tell others about my great experience and that the system is easy to setup. It took no time out of my day or busy scheduling.

ADT installed the alarm and after about a month, the low battery alarm was signaling. I called them up, and they told me to reset it. But it happened again and after much to do, they told me I needed to replace the battery. They'd send me one out but it'd cost me X amount of dollars. I told them the system was less than two months old and that I should not be paying for a replacement battery. This went back and forth between phone calls with the people in charge. The sales rep was horrible. He never returned the phone calls when I had the system problem.
The reps were doing their job trying to pacify an angry customer. But they were not gonna commit to sending me a $60 battery on their word. It would have to come from a higher-up. Finally, I called and said, "If you're not gonna replace the battery, come take your system out. I don't want it." All of a sudden, somebody was at the door to change the battery. This was in January of 2024 but the battery best by use date was November of '23. They installed a battery that should never have been installed, which was the installer's fault of not looking at what he was installing. They came and changed it, and I kept the service but I should not have had to go to the extreme of canceling in order to get something done. But I'm happy with the service since. The alarm has gone off a couple of times, and they were very quick on their response.

With State Farm or Verizon right now, in 37 years, I've spent a quarter of a million dollars in monthly bills. I've done half that probably with ADT by now. Are they putting my name on a NASCAR? Are they putting my name on the basketball net? When you see State Farm, do they have Arnold Schwarzenegger dropping from a helicopter for 15 million? Where does ADT put the money? Do the pencil math and see. Let's get back to the gold level of standard that I purchased with the gold level of service and everything should be fine for all of us.
Because of all the cuts from everything that the CEO has done, it's more self-serve. There used to be a super bowl commercial a few years ago where there's a guy sitting at a kitchen table and he's got his doctor on his speaker phone telling him, “Cut three inches below your Adam's apple to do your own tracheotomy." That's what it's like here too. They wanna try to self-diagnose it or tell you that it's not covered. When did we go from the gold standard to Vonage or to Slomin’s Shield? That is how far it has fallen in a short period of time.
The CEO has decided to offshore the calls. I would call somebody in the Philippines or some other country. I give them my information plus my password for them to set me up for a service trip here in Delaware. That's not right. It shouldn't be like that. I have called and left messages as a longtime customer and said, “The CEO of the company ought to stop making so much money like everybody else is, and spend the money getting the right people. There's a lot of veterans you could hire right now that would sit in their homes and answer the phone for ADT and provide exemplary service.” If I have a problem, I get put on hold. After six o'clock, I get put on hold, 20 minutes later, somebody would come back and say, “I checked with the supervisor, and someone will get back to you in.” You never hear back from anybody. It's a bottomless pit. That's the bad part.
ADT told me when they sold the system that I have a four-year warranty on the batteries, so I shouldn't be charged. But it's like fighting, which I shouldn't have to do. I appreciate the brand and I hold it in the highest of esteem, but the CEO and higher-up management at the corporate office have made a huge mistake here. Because at the end of the day, it will erode. The way this economy is going and the way this election goes, the economy could get bad. People are gonna start cutting back on services, and that is gonna be one of them that they're gonna cut back.
Was it worth it to that guy to offshore to people that just say, “Yes, yes, yes.” I tell “Tom, well, I got this, this and…” it would go nowhere. He took the gold standard of AT&T and turned it into Vonage or Slomin’s. I was on a call for an hour and 57 minutes the last time. Finally, I got a nice American lady in Florida, finally switched back from the Philippines. She said, “Yes, I can see something. I can see this. I can transfer you to this one department now and they'll schedule.” Nobody answered from the next department. I left my information on a voicemail. Nobody called back. One time, I had to pay for the service. They had to come and charge me before the guy came. When the guy came, he said, “No, we'll have to go through the hoops of getting it credited back.” This is closer to Vonage. Since COVID, this guy who is CEO has lost all direction of the business and the corporation.
The system is good. What I don't like is, I switched four years ago and updated my system to the newest system at the time. That system is somewhat obsolete. If I wanna add one more camera to the front of the house now, it's almost $600 for the same camera. Even though now they're doing everything with Google and Wi-Fi Wireless, after spending three grand on equipment to get one more camera, they quote me with sales and discounts, $600. My wife said they can take the 600 and pound it.
It doesn't matter if you call and you've been in an account for a week or me for 35 years. Number one and number two, whatever it says that it's always different from each person, it's a different price and everything else. And when the guys come, “You should just get the Google to go right to your phone.” “I'm still making payments on the three grand when you first installed it. Who's gonna give me a credit back or rebate or something?” It's like a new car sales and all they wanna do is sell me a new car.

ADT has been a waste of money. The guy that the system was nice. But we've had some technical issues with the product itself. The smoke alarm kept going off and it wasn't the batteries. It was on a Friday night. I couldn't remember what my passcode was. So, ADT sent out the fire department and I said, "This is not necessary." I still couldn't get it to shut off. ADT had to set up an emergency appointment for Monday. We had to do with it through the weekend of just going off randomly. I had to pay $100 for them to come out and for them to tell me it was a defect on their end.
The whole reason I enrolled with ADT was because I was supposed to get an insurance discount through State Farm. They offered $20 a month for ADT. ADT refused to honor it. They acted like I was crazy. It was advertised. I had flyers for it. Something was totally off there. So, I've been stuck with a $55 bill every month. If I could cancel, I would. I lost my job three months ago. The $55 a month is not something extra that I have.

The installer was very good. He was very respectful of the home. Did a good job. Also, ADT was affordable for what I need. But they're a big company and I get the treatment almost as bad as dealing with a cable company. Two things happened four months after installation. One, the adhesive for the magnets on two of the sensors failed. They fell to the floor. I had to find my own adhesive and put them back because the system was not effective at that point. Separately, the sensors come with a 10-year battery. I contacted the salesperson. That was of no help. My first issue was the battery. I told them I would get a low battery warning. They said, “That doesn't sound right. Let's make you reset.” I went through this half-hour call to reset the sensor. The warning went away. They said, “If the issue comes back, just call us back tomorrow. We'll send you a free battery.”
I was not convinced it was the sensor. It was the battery. I got the low battery sign again. I called. It got to be an emotional conversation, because they wanted to make me go through the whole stupid reset process again. I said, “No. It's a battery. And I was told yesterday I would get a free battery.” They said, “Your plan doesn't include a free battery.” I said, “It's a 10-year battery. I was sold a defective—” so, I just got in to circular argument. I hung up.
I went out and sourced from a local retailer, the exact battery, put it in. And it has been fine for six weeks now. I reached out to the salesman, pleading my case that, “Jeez, this was pretty poor customer service.” Plus, the fact that the installation was ineffective because the sensors are falling off and that they shouldn't be falling off ever. His response was, “Since it's been more than a month, I can't help you. And you just have to call customer service,” which I'm not inclined to do because I had a terrible experience my first call.

Unfortunately, it tells you to lock the house throughout the night and day if you don't, even if you are home. So, it's a notification jumble. It blows your phone up.

ADT is little bit better than the smaller security company that we had though both had some functional difficulties with the system working in our house. We have more false alarms than we do real alarms. I have to mess with the system every now and then because it receives false signals, and it requires some manipulation of the control box to close the signal off.
We had some issues with the signal being received by the main box so we have some extenders to make that happen. At the time, ADT said that our system was old and to upgrade it to a newer system. We've had them for 10 years and to put their new system in place was going to be $800. The new system would have required a laptop or a Google tablet that needed to be part of the new system and we didn't wanna mess with stuff like that. The large cost and the increased technology were not something we were interested in. We told them no and to put the old system back. But the technicians they send are very customer-friendly. They worked hard to find the right location for things and to install it such that it fit in with our home. However, the office people who do the sales were not quite as upfront as they could have been about the cost of things. They are questionable.

It happened with a quick rain overnight and we were asleep. ADT called us and we went down. We were able to save the basement from being flooded so we appreciated that. Whenever there has been an upgrade such as when they went to 3G then 5G, they have sent people out. They have to come about 90 miles for us from Peoria to the Champaign, Illinois area.

I was in the middle of the Georgia Aquarium at this function with 2,000 colleagues of mine. I took time away, handled this for about 15 minutes and got the code. It was incredibly frustrating to not be able to work with the techs that called us to be able to resolve the issue remotely because they don't do panel resets.
The house is in Austin, Texas and I can't move those two together when I'm at a conference. I understand that there are different divisions and departments, but I would have liked that to have been able to get resolved quickly. I was transferred to tech support to work on my app, but that wasn't the issue. Then tech support just rang and rang for about three minutes. We travel internationally a lot and having an unreliable system or tech support that's not able to help me nationally or internationally is why we're looking forward to the end of this 36-month contract to go to another vendor. Also, the sensors are a little bulky, so I'd tell others to get the ones embedded in the windows when they're building their brand-new house like we did.

When I needed it, it only recorded five minutes so I missed the vehicle. It was so ridiculous. I want to discontinue, but I can't ‘cause they're gonna charge me for it.

I don't like ADT. They lie. They make deals over the phone but won't keep them when we go about the business of trying to make them happen. The system broke one time. The push button thing broke, and I had to get a locksmith at my own cost to break into my house so that they could come a few days later to fix it. All of our transactions have been unhappy. The people who work there are very nice, but they're a terrible company.

ADT is very expensive for the service they are giving, and I curse the day that I spent $12,000 to install the system. When the system resets during the night and it wakes up people at 4:00 in the morning just to tell the reset, it's not a good idea. The system works really badly. Because they set batteries, even if the battery is new, it will still go on to alarm. I also have a protection that they should show up when I have problem but they do not show up.

We had to deal with ADT not too long ago and it was a real pain in the butt. We had an issue with our alarm system and we called them up to have them come out and take a look at it. They said it would be a virtual appointment but that was not what we called them for. I told them that somebody had to actually be there to can fix it. And they did not come out when we asked them to. So we had that going on and it took about four days to get somebody to help us out, come out and take a look at it. The people wo came out were polite and they resolved the issue. But I don't know how they're going to stay in business with the way they're doing everything now on a computer.

The overall service of the ADT company is lacking. They say it's fixed, but it's not. Then I schedule an appointment, but the appointment that they send me is not what we agreed upon. I eat it anyway and wait another week. They come out, tell me they fixed the alarm, but the alarm isn't fixed. I call them again and have to wait a another week. Then they come out and say, "These don't look like ADT sensors." I went through ADT, so I don't know why that would be the case.
The technician changed the sensor and I haven't had a problem since. But I had to call, scream, and be transferred to another department to get a credit. Every time I asked for a supervisor, they would try something else. I understand they have their own protocols and procedures, but it was at a certain point. I was asking for them to give me somebody that could make a decision, but they never would and never could. If I had a choice to go to someplace else, I 100% would when that time comes. But for convenience right now with my kids and my wife, this is what has to be.

The ADT security part is great but the ADT startup is very poor. I sat with the saleslady and she asked what I wanted. I said I want my doors and my windows protected. I also want a control panel in the kitchen and and another one in the bedroom and I wanna get an automatic lock on the garage door going to the garage. She said they'd get me those and that she had five doorbell cameras that she could give her customers. She said she was gonna give me one of them and that I was gonna get a doorbell camera, which would be free for me. I said great and they went ahead and started everything.
The guy showed me the panel and when I asked where the other one is, he said he forgot it. I asked where was my lock for the garage door and he forgot that too. Also, I said the saleslady said I had a free doorbell camera for the front door and he said that was up to her. I said it's up to him to give it to me and put it on but he said he didn't know anything about that. Now, we've had ADT now for almost three years. Every day, we have to carry our kitchen panel to the bedroom and then plug it in and then in the morning, carry it from the bedroom back into the kitchen and plug it in.
We have to use our phone to check whether the alarm is on before she goes to work in the morning. A couple of times, she left with the alarm was still on because we don't have a panel in the kitchen to look at it and I forgot to look at my phone. In other words, when I get up in the morning till my wife going to work, I'd have to carry it into the kitchen and when I go back and lay down, I'd have to carry it back into the bedroom again. That's so stupid, turning this panel back and forth. It's a big inconvenience and I'm really sick and tired of it, really.
I called them up and told them I want my second panel that I ordered at the beginning. They said it'll cost me $360. I said it's supposed to be part of my original program but they said now, it's after the initial program and I have to pay for it in cash. I've called people over and over again, trying to get a second panel. They won't give me a second panel. Anybody who asks how's my ADT, I say it's terrible. The alarm system part is good. It works. They open the door to go to the garage and the alarm is on, it goes off. But I don't know what's going off because it's in the bedroom. So, I have to look at my phone and then we have to shut it off. Their reps would call and I’d say, “It's just we forgot to turn it off. It's in the bedroom.”
But there are so many more people out there that are so much more efficient in buying your products at the beginning than ADT. I had ADT in my other house for 17 years but I had a rep who gave me all really good stuff. It was a wonderful service for 17 years and I was so happy about it. I had a voice that every time there was a break-in or something like this or you go in through a door when the security was on, it would say, “Security alert. The police are being called. Leave immediately.” It would say that really loud and I'd hear it through the whole house. But this one just goes “Beep” a little bit on the screen and it turns red and doesn't do a whole lot.

But it's more expensive and I would say the system doesn't really work as well. Also, it wasn't long after the system was installed that, for some reason, the little Alexa device that hooks it all up and coordinates the action of the camera lost its WiFi connection. I have a really good WiFi connectivity here and there should have been no reason whatsoever for this little device to have failed and lost its connection. But I didn't care that much about it and I just didn't even bother with it anymore. I've been dissatisfied with that. I don't use the system all that often. I live in a very secure gated community with an extremely low crime rate.

ADT already had a system in this house when I purchased it. I shopped a lot but the reps assured me that a lot of the equipment here did not need to be replaced. They were wrong and they replaced it all. It was the most horrible consumer experience I’ve ever had with an alarm company. I was led to believe that it would be a cost savings to be with them. I was very clear with them about my goal, which was to have an integrated system where I could put my garage doors up and down, and turn my lights off and on, more than just security. They're supposed to be very good with that. But they're not. ADT sells you the system and then turns everything over to a subcontractor. In this case, the company was local here in Ohio. Then, they inform you that 90 days later, ADT has no responsibility for it. There’s nothing I can do.
The house has three furnaces. I have thermostats that don't work with the ADT system and I have to go to Google Home to use. ADT was unable to deliver what they promised. They're the most expensive monthly monitoring and yet, they far underperformed the Guardian system I had in my other house. The cost against the quality is not good at all. ADT provide no service.
I went through three different installers and it wasn't that they just sent me different people. It's that the fellow who started installing the system was no longer with the company. Then there was a second guy who is no longer with the company. The employee turnover was so great that I didn't get any continuity. It wasn't a comprehensive installation. It was pieces, which is exactly what I didn't want. I wouldn't have cared if it was different people if they were all working from a comprehensive plan. But each one would come in, and they were not trained well enough to do the job I wanted. This is a $3 million house. I wasn't skimping on anything and price was not a consideration. And they still did a terrible job. I don't want anybody else to spend the kind of money I spent and wind up with a lousy system like I've got.

I'm not happy at all with ADT. When they called, I decided not to go with the plan. Then a little bit of time went on and they kept calling back. They were kind of pushy, telling me that they had a special going on. I finally went on with it and they set up a date to come out to the house. They were a no-show that day and I missed a day of work for nothing. They said the cameras didn't come in. They set it up for the next day on Saturday and when the service guy came out, I was telling him about it and he said that he had the cameras in his van for a week and he just lives right around the road from me. Then, I asked him if needed me to move something. I had some items where he was gonna be working but he said he'd be fine. Next thing you know, crash, a lamp hit the floor and broke.
I have four cameras, the keypad, and some window sensors. The last service guy that came out hooked me up with a motion sensor and put it in the house. I've got a little Chihuahua dog and I came home one day and somebody had kicked her in the face. It cost me $450 at the emergency room. To this day, I still believe that somebody has figured out a way to delete stuff off of my cameras. But the last technician who came out told me it was impossible for somebody to erase sections on what you recorded. Also, when they were putting my cameras up, I specifically told them I do not want any blind spots. If it overlaps, that's fine, but absolutely zero blind spots and I got three or four blind spots.
I filled out a survey online on my emails and someone up on the main office responded and he said he was gonna get back with me but I didn't hear anything until two weeks ago. I got another text saying that they were sorry my email got put back and they weren't able to respond to it. About a week or two ago when they did respond, they said that they were gonna get one of their top technicians to call me.
But I just blocked them from drawing money off of my card because as far as I'm concerned, they can come get everything. I had called to customer service and they didn't even have my name and information in the system right. They had a password that I did not give them. I don't know what the mix-up of it was. And I was put on hold for a good while and then it went on to say that I get money back guarantee up to a certain date. When the lady came back on on the phone, I told her that while I was on hold, the recordings mentioned a refund and they can come get the cameras. I told her I would just like to have my money back for what I've spent for nothing. I'm just done. I've spent a lot of money on this stuff trying to keep my house safe and it's just not working.

I've been with ADT since 2004. The only thing is I wanted to get better outside monitoring and they could not do it without replacing my entire system. But I'm satisfied with my service. I have three security systems now and between them, I feel fairly secure that I've got a good feel of what's going on around my house and I feel comfortable with what I've got.
I've had both of my major security systems fail at the same time. I've got a sump pump monitor and my sump pump failed. One sump pump monitor did not alert and the other they had down as fire alarm. I had five fire runs one day to my house. I woke up in the middle of the night to a call and I didn't necessarily catch which system was alerting. I was not sure which company was calling the fire department and which company jammed and the alert didn't go off when my sump pump failed. We finally figured out it was a sump pump and everything was okay. Also, my indoor cameras do a great job. I just upgraded part of that system.
Another fun event was when my hot water heater had sprung a leak three times. One time, I was home and as soon as it alerted, I got the call and I could do something about it. But I've had my basement flood twice and the first time, I said the company failed to alert because they had not put that part of my system back in service after repair work. Consistent with that, I've been having water leaking in cracks in the basement wall and it's been setting off the monitors. I got the wall fixed and at the same time, they did some repair work and never put that part back into service. So when I wasn't getting alerts, I didn't think anything about it because I've had repair work done.

We started with ADT when we had a burglary in 2004. We switched because they wanted $200 for one of those key fob remotes. We thought that was really ridiculous. We had a salesman from Fluent, which at the time was Strike Alarm. We switched to them, and we were with them for 9.5 years. Up until we switched back to ADT, they were really horrible at taking care of their customers. We had a control panel that we were having problems with. They were really dragging their feet like nobody's business to change it out.
The control panel from Fluent Home finally bit the dust, and we had to go with no security system until ADT came in. ADT came to the rescue on that deal. I'm satisfied with everything about ADT except we're leapfrogging between the bill notification and receiving the bill in the mail. I'm dealing with it. It's not a real inconvenience, but that's the only thing that makes ADT look funny. What's going on is they send me a bill before it's due. It's on the 20th this time, and I need to get the physical bill in the mail like the 1st or 2nd of the month.
The first time they did that, I figured it out quickly. What I did was I just took one of my own personal envelopes and I addressed it to their mailing address for billing, and I sent the bill in so that ADT would get it on time. And then I held on to the physical bill that they sent me, right next to time for me to pay the bill, and I kept that one. What I've been doing is every time they send me a text message, I take the bill from last month, and I change the due date on it to that current date. And then I put the check in the mail with their billing. When the bill comes in on 17th or 18th and it's due on the 19th or 20th, I keep that one. I hold on to that until I get the next text message saying, "This bill is due at the 19th or 20th of the month." I like to pay in advance.
Overall, ADT comes out right away. It's a stark contrast between Fluent Home and ADT. They're like, "Well, we gotta send a guy from Utah and it's gonna be two months.” That's ridiculously unacceptable. Whereas with ADT, I called, and within three days, their technician was out here changing the dead control panel and giving us one that work, and putting two sensors up that replaced the two that weren't working at all. I'm happy with ADT. When you experience a company as bad as Fluent Home treated us, and then you have the totally opposite experience with ADT, it's a no-brainer, you're gonna compliment that company and tell everybody to run from the other company.

I've been protected with ADT since February of this year. When I had previously moved into where I'm currently at, there was an alarm system that was here, but it was no longer working. I had inquired about the system, and that was when I decided to give ADT a call in reference to wanting to have the alarm system and have it installed. ADT's customer service has been more than fair. There was some discrepancy that was going on, and it was resolved. It was handled very professionally, and it made me feel like my concerns were taken into account. The advocate that I was speaking with took things into consideration after I explained to them what had happened. She apologized to me because of what had happened.
If there's an issue, then I would call customer service to see if the problem can be resolved by troubleshooting my system. I'm in and out of the country, so I'm satisfied with what's going on and to have that access to be able to still see what's going on with my property, know that my system is activated when I activate or disarm my system and the functions. Everything works very properly.
The other day, I did call because I was inquiring about controlling my lighting because I'm getting ready to leave the country again. I was told that the only thing is that the tech would have to come back out, though, just to do a couple of things. So, if I'm out of the country, I can turn my lights on and off because I just don't wanna be leaving my lights on throughout the day. That’s a very nice feature.
I'm satisfied with my services and what has happened. When you walk on the property, it automatically alarms. It's letting me know someone's on the property. I can see who's at the door. One good thing I do know about ADT is if there is a situation that's going on, which I experienced in the past with my previous significant other. She had a situation, and ADT was right on it. They ended up calling me immediately, informing me that there was something going on. They let me know, “Okay. You should call the police or call someone because the house has been broken into.” They call immediately. And whoever came in, when they did what they did, ADT was right on it. Unfortunately, the robbers did get away.

We had ADT in our other house for 26 years. Then we moved it over here when we moved. They seem to constantly upgrade the way that the systems work, at least internally. They offered us one of those things that you can talk to, so that was very nice. But I don't like those things so I didn't plug it in. The last guy who came in and worked with us through redoing the system that had been in this place, which is a condo in an old building, did a great job of reviewing all the window markers and got it all working really well. Over those many years that we've had ADT, it's been a good experience and I haven't had issues. But as soon as I had a problem with one of the window connection, they had somebody come and he had everything he needed. He walked through and added a fire detector that was not working here in this place that we didn't even realize wasn't working. ADT's price is good, too.
Wow 26 years is outstanding and thank you for being such an amazing part of our ADT family! We appreciate your five-star review and feedback!

I've been with ADT for my house since 2012. I did a Google search to see which was the best home alarm service, and ADT came up as number one. But over the past year, I have not been happy at all with all the cameras. I upgraded to the Google Nest for a lot of my cameras except for one. I have the ones where you have to charge it all the time, which is very annoying. The cameras do not record like they said they would. I've had some real issues that happened to where I had to call the police out. I went back to check for footage for proof and there was no proof because I found out my cameras were not working.
When I called to complain about it, I wasn't notified that I have to go back in and reset something every so month. I was never told about that. Had I known, I would have done it or probably looked for another service. This past year had been very horrible and in particular, these past four months. I've paid them all off now, but they don't work properly.
I've had just a few cameras before. They worked better to me with the recording. It seems like once I upgraded to the Google Nest, the issue started arising. It would be good if there's some way to where they could record all the time as the customers can't get the footage. I've had false alarms a few times and sending my nephew in here, he put in the wrong code. So, they responded very quickly. Even to the point where I didn't pick up right away, they were ready to dispatch a police officer and call family members who were on my thing. So, it's actually working when it's supposed to to get the police to the house. My issue is with the recordings. I get alerts like crazy on my phone since our last incident. It wasn't doing it when I needed it. I'm not happy because I feel like I wasted money all these years for a system I thought was really protecting me and my baby. I thank God nothing ever happened when we were in the home.

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

We've been a customer of ADT for 12 years now. For a lot of years, we stayed because they were doing everything we wanted. But for the last couple of years, it's no longer true. Now, it's just because I haven't had time to find somebody else. A lot of the stuff that I've gotten from them and their options, the inside cameras, all stopped working because there was a change in our network and they all have to be hardwired to the network. They had a lot of installation people out here but nobody could make it work. They finally had to back down the level of our service. It took a little pushing, but they did eventually do that. But the problem is that's not the service that I want. But when they had to back down on the service, they did lower the price also.
I'm not satisfied with what it does. But the service that I have works fine. I can turn my alarm on and that works fine. But because of the reduced level of what they do, there are some holes in our coverage. It's not entirely their fault that the network stuff didn't work and I'm told that they have some newer options. It's just I need to try and get ahold of somebody, which isn't all that easy, and find that out.

The system works well. It does what it's supposed to. On those occasions when we need to switch out batteries, that would become tricky. But the support line has always been very helpful in being able to get us through it. We've been able to manage everything by ourselves and with the support line. The site is easy to use. There are certain things you can't do on the website that you have to do on the panel. It would be nice if some of those functions were available on site as well. And there are some minor issues like on the phone app clearing out.
We had a battery problem on one of the smoke heads and it still shows it on the app as a problem even though it has been cleared in the main system. So, there are little things like that that eventually go away. But I figure as soon as it was done, it should do it. We're on a busy road, so it gives us peace of mind when we're not there knowing that if anything happened, we would get an alert.

The sensor broke while I was trying to open it. And they said, “Pull the batteries out. Put them back in.” We did that. It worked for a second. After that, a couple more sensors have failed.

A lot of years ago, ADT was the alarm guy that was visible. They had their little stakes in the ground at some neighbors. So I just had seen them around and they had a fairly broad brand name. The stakes in the ground were overgrown by bushes now, so it's not as prominent as it used to be. But I have on one edge of the house and there's a hedge that's probably hiding 80%. I got them originally and didn't want to have any false alarms with the police or the fire. So I don't have any automated.
I had two boys growing up here too and they were crazy that they'd never turn it on or off. So, I just use it as a monitor in the master bedroom. Somebody opens the garage door, it says, "Garage door is open." Somebody opens a window and sliding glass door, it just says which zone and what's going on. So I really just used it as a monitor from that standpoint. ADT was very responsive. I had some alarm panel issues where I couldn't shut it off. I got them on the phone and they would walk me through it and they were very professional, pleasant, and quick about doing it.

Everyone at ADF was nice. The initial guy that came out took a long time when he first came out. It was really late by the time he finished. And then when he installed things, we weren't really satisfied with our experience at that time on the initial installation. He had to come back the next day because I had my grand babies, and I was like, “It's just time to go.” It was getting close to 10 o'clock. It was late. We hadn't eaten anything, and it was time to go. We were frustrated with the whole experience.
He came back. He had to go up in the attic, and then he came out. He had to go to Walmart and get electrical outlet to put in the attic, which we were very disappointed because we spent quite a bit of money. It was close to $2,000 to get the equipment. And then he put like a home type of switch up in the attic so he can plug in surge protectors so he can plug it in the attic.
We've been having some faulty transmissions. Everything inside that’s been working with those cameras is plugged into the attic up there. I called for someone else to come out, and that guy just said, “Hey, you may wanna get something a little bit stronger than what you have up in there, because it's very low. It's a low quality type item. So maybe something a little bit more durable.” But the second guy that came out was very attentive and tried everything possible to help us out.
He followed back up with us because we had questions about that equipment. We called and we happened to get him again, and he was trying to explain to us how that works. I guess ADT just allows them to put whatever they wanna put up there and it's coming out of their pocket. So, I can understand that they're not gonna put anything very expensive up there that's a quality device.
We were told if it goes off, if they have a power outage, we may have to go up in the attic and reset it. But that's not our thing. That was the thing that we thought it was getting a wireless device, and that we didn't have to experience all that. We don't really like going up in there. But having to do that, that takes away from getting a wireless system. We had our own Ring where we could go in, we have to change the cameras, and now we're getting kind of old to do that. But now with this thing, if you get a outage, you gotta climb up there again to turn it on. That defeats the advantage of having a wireless system.

I have no intention of keeping up with ADT after this subscription ends because I can't use my things. I had the Nest for a while. ADT hasn't updated the app to interface with all the legacy Nest products, so the IQ cameras, or the IQ doorbell. I haven't been able to use any of my in-place items. It's not even set up. The base is not connected. I can still log into my old Nest app and set up notifications. My Nest app still works, minus the door sensors. All the ADT stuff is packed up, because I would log in, my cameras would show up in the app as unsupported. But at least my cameras work. And I get notifications that way. I can work the thermostat from there as well. So, the only thing I lost was the security aspect with the door sensors and window sensors. None of the ADT stuff is even hooked up anymore because it didn't help. I haven't been able to use it. Luckily, I didn't pay for it since it was provided by Google.
What ADT needs is to work in those legacy objects. They got all this stuff from Google Nest, but not supporting the things that Google Nest gave. It's a software thing. The company needs to make the investment to get these things to work. There's no reason it shouldn't. I'm a programmer. If I had the time, I would come and do it for them. I don't know what agreements need to be made within the company to get it to work. The only option I was told was either buy new ones or did not have the support. The few times I've used the customer service, there was no fix for the service. I was told every time, “Sorry. There's nothing we can do.

We requested to have someone come out and look at it, and the technician showed up. But unbeknownst to us, there was a $175 fee for the technician to come and look at the system. Not even servicing us just yet, but looking at it.
Once we found out that it causes for a technician to come out to assess why the system isn't working, we decided to call and we tried to cancel the service and just go with Ring because we have Ring cameras in the front, and because of the contract, it costs more to get out of the contract than to keep it intact. So we decided we could reduce all the features down to the bare minimum, which is at the $60 price point. And that's where we're at now.

ADT is great. I first got them in 2010 when my husband passed away and I liked it. I just have the doors and some windows, and the glass-shattering thing in my back and the front. I also have the motion detector in my front entranceway but it hasn’t worked in seven years. So, people could walk into my house if they could get in the door without it beeping and they could have a party in my entranceway. I’ve called ADT and they told me to get a ladder and get up there and point it down a little bit more. I don't know if I'm paying for it but I would like, if possible, someone to come out to give me a motion detector that works.
I used to have a little clicker I brought upstairs and then in the morning, I would click it off so I could come downstairs. But now, I don't have to click anything off. I just come down and do jumping jacks in my front entranceway. The customer support tried to help me but it was not working and finally, I just gave up. They said they couldn't have anybody come out. It’s their equipment and I'm not gonna get up there on the ladder and try to bring it down. I probably should have changed companies because ADT's techs weren't coming out to help me and they kept on saying the system should be working but it's not.
Still, ADT is very good about responding. My daughter was living with me about five years ago and she ran into the room and said the alarm was going off. I didn't hear it. And I said we’ll see what happens. The police called and when they asked, I told them to send somebody. When they came, I ran down the stairs to open the door and it was good. It was the vibrations from the thunder that set off the alarm on one of the windows. I like how they do call. And when I come in, it goes off and I have to code it out. It’s simple to use. I've taught friends how to do it if I wasn't home. They had to get in. So, I'm fine with ADT.
I had a year and a half that I changed to AT&T because I figured I'd bundle it. But I said I was going back to ADT. So, they came by and put new equipment in. This was probably about eight years ago. I thought AT&T was gonna give me a better deal so, I went with them but I shouldn't have. I just should have stayed with ADT. My son-in-law has the one that you put in yourself and he's got cameras. I could have that done too, but I'm fine. All I need to know is if somebody comes in my door, it goes off. That's all I need.

I installed ADT in my house 10 years ago. My service package is bad. I'm not satisfied at all. All the equipment is extremely outdated. It's a 20-year-old technology compared to all the other services now like Ring, Comcast and SimpliSafe. Its cameras are old. Everything is old, and I had several issues. Their network went down. Equipment was down for a month. I had no video clips recorded. And after 10 years of being a loyal customer, they couldn't offer anything at all to compensate me for that. They won't give me anything to update my cameras.
I wanted to get something for free. They offered upgrade if I pay full price for them. So, there are no complimentary upgrades. There was no additional camera as a, "Sorry, we messed up." It was a very bad customer service model. They don't care about customer satisfaction. They only care about making money. As soon as things slow down at work, I'm gonna switch from them. They're not a good company at all. 30 years ago, they were the leader in the market in home security. But now, there's so much competition. There's so much better service that are cheaper, better, and higher quality in every way. So, ADT is not doing too well.

ADT's service has been good. There were a few issues. Things worked well. The system works well. We really use it mostly to arm and disarm. I like the ease of the system. I use a mobile app with it, and it's one of the things that are the best. ADT is a good company. It's well supported.

We went with ADT because our daughter has ADT. The sales rep was wonderful. The installers were wonderful, too. We got nothing but good experiences with them. The price is reasonable for all that we have. Our equipment is good. We lose power a lot in this area, and we have trouble with when the power is off with it. But other than that, everything's fine.
Mary- This is wonderful to hear and thank you for being such a fantastic part of our ADT family!

I’ve been using ADT for at least five years and the security features on my package are okay and seem to be adequate. But if something breaks, ADT’s techs don't come out and fix it. We had to wait two months since I got the last thing fixed here just recently and I paid for those two months of security. Then, they charged me to come out to fix it. It’s their equipment. If you have DIRECTV or Dish Network at your house and the satellite went out and you didn't get to use it for two months, you would feel like you should get a refund. Because it's not just once. It's been a few times and they don't give a break or refund. The shortest we've ever had was a month and a half to come and it's usually at least two months.
One other thing that drives me absolutely nuts is that I'd get an email from ADT each month saying I have a bill. Then you go to the bottom there and it says, "Balance zero dollars," and that's all it is. I pay $900 yearly, usually in March. The next month, I’d get another bill. And the next month, I’d get another bill that would say the balance is zero.

Usually, the ADT technicians are good, but the customer service can be hit or miss. I stick with them though. They got their own problems, but they fix them with due time. The automatic payments kept messing up every month and they finally got that fixed. I was like, "Okay, no big deal." They were supposed to charge you for the keypad that's inside the house that will be fixed but they didn't charge me for it. There were just little things like that where it's something they can charge you for, and they don't.

I've been an ADT customer for about 10 years. I have had issues and the customer service experience was fair. It's just they were never able to resolve some of my issues.

I have an ADT system in my house. We had it in Prescott. We moved down here, and we still have it. We had it at our business, too, before that. We retired. We still have them and we're really happy with them. A couple of weeks ago, the smoke detector was beeping. Chuck took the batteries out so we could replace them and we left home to do some errands, and met a fire truck down there at the end of the road coming to our house. Our smoke detector went off when the batteries made a signal that something was wrong here. So, they're efficient and we were pleased. The firemen were really nice. We turned around and came back because our fire alarm went off. Unbeknownst to us, we took the batteries out. We can't do that. We gotta notify ADT.
Customer support has been good to us. When we moved here to this house from Sun City West, I got a nice gal. She worked with me to get a better price, which I had before because rates had gone up. She got me a good monthly price on my ADT system, and we're happy with it. We've got everything secured. We've had them for over 35 years. It's a great system. We've never had any issues with them like billing. They call if a garage door is open. One day we were gone and one of our people left it open, and right away, I got a phone call that there was a door open into the garage. That was within a very short time of when Caroline left and a door just didn't close tightly. So, we think they're great alarm system people. We've never had any issues with them that they haven't resolved.
Sandy- We're so glad to hear you love the system as much as we do and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with our team.

My husband and I worked for a county agency and ADT was the security system they used. Dealing with the techs was excellent. I called them one time and they walked me through to resolve the problem. And when they came out, they explained the different things that I could get. I was very surprised because my son-in-law had an ADT system in their house when they bought it and it had things for the windows. The tech said that's not how they do it anymore so, I just have the two door things and the one thing up in the corner and it takes care of my house. I have recommended ADT to several people. I have friends that have other services that they pay a little bit more and they don't get anything more than I do.

ADT was one of the better-known security services where we lived at the time. It was a very small town and there weren't a lot of options. I saw some of the ADT security signs in front of other homes and maybe I had seen some of the television advertising. I had a positive experience with the sales rep and we’re very pleased with my system. They work perfectly. We haven't expanded our basic package but the prices continue to increase. We went from a 3G to a five 5G, which might have added some expense to doing business.

ADT is a larger provider compared to others, and I find dealing with larger providers a better and easier experience. They've always been responsive and quick to resolve any issues that I've had. It's been exactly what I expected it to be. It's nice to know that I'm gonna know if someone enters my home. It's like having an extra set of eyes that are there all the time. However, my monthly bill is around 80 and it keeps on creeping up. I understand that everything does. But it's almost $1,000 a year. What is your peace of mind and safety worth? But it's $1,000 a year for monitoring, so I get it. But at the same time, I wish it was a little bit lower.

ADT went into the solar business and we bought a system from them. Then they went out of business and didn't even tell us. Our system was broken before it was a year old. Even though we've got ADT security on our house, since they had the solar business and then got rid of it, it affects them as a corporation. It's been horrible. But when the installation team came and completely updated the ADT system in this house for us, that was good.

My husband passed away and I had a daughter in treatment at the time and I got Social Security for her and I used that to purchase the ADT system because I didn't trust her and her friends. So that's how long I've been with it, which would be coming up to eight years. It was amazing when I first got the system. I loved it. But I hate it now. And I'm upset with myself because I’ve been struggling with this for how long now and that's $80 a month. I'm a widow and I live on my own and $80 a month is my grocery bill. I can feed myself for that. I liked ADT up until the last two years and I'm about ready to put up some other type of system because I've had nothing but nightmares with it.
When I first purchased the whole thing, ADT was hands-on. The techs came to the house and put the system in. They came out and changed batteries and provided service when there were issues. Then, the price was $50 a month the whole time. That's all gone by the wayside. There's no customer service other than by phone and three-fourths of the time, I can't even understand the person on the phone. So, it becomes very difficult. I probably spend 100 bucks, if not more, a year for batteries and that was all included when I initially got it.
I had some issues with my panel and it wasn't working properly and it was due to the signals. ADT’s techs installed an additional panel upstairs. So now, sometimes it will say that my panel has something wrong with it. Then, when I try to resolve it over the phone, they act like I'm stupid and I don't know what I'm talking about. It's my panel and it just becomes ridiculous. I have a home on the East Coast and when I leave to go there, I can't arm my system except from my app on my phone. Once in a while, a young man comes over and has to wash up when he mows the yard and he would say he couldn’t arm the system again. I would tell him I would do it from Myrtle Beach. It’s getting way more and more inconvenient. People should go for a different type of system. I've kept it too long. But I like the sense of knowing that there'll be a response.

It was our insurance company that recommended ADT and when we called them, they came out and set us up. 20 years or so later when we moved, we had to set up the new house as well. Their system does a real good job and the features that are available are really exactly what we need. There have only been a couple of times we've had an issue and that was because we did something that was not correct. But when I call them to come out for a battery change or a problem with the system, they always come right away and solve it without a problem. We've had ADT for close to 30 years now at two different locations and it's a wonderful system. I would highly recommend them.

It's been an on and off love affair with ADT. When I bought the place, the equipment was there and everything seemed to be all right.

I was at work and somebody busted my front door. ADT called me at work and the police were here in four minutes when I got the timeline. I like my alarm system and I have been with ADT over 13 years. I have neighbors and they've tried other security services. But a lot of security companies in my neighborhood don't do 24-hour surveillance. ADT is a little expensive, but is $2 a day while you're at work too much money to have somebody here to call the cops in case somebody decides to come in your house? Aside from that, I like that I can access my house and my cameras from my phone. ADT has made my life a whole lot easier ever since that break-in and I don't worry anymore. I've also told neighbors about them.

I also like the fact that ADT's reps have always been helpful when I've needed help.

I had another security company before ADT and when they put the system in, they tested it so I would know it was working. ADT didn't do that and I really didn't like that. My whole house is supposed to be covered by the ADT system and from my understanding, when the guy put the system in, he was supposed to add the existing windows from the other security company into it to make them work too. But I don't know whether they are even working because on the pad, I only see certain windows. I see the windows from the guy who did the upgrade part of it but I don't see the windows from the previous company that they had on there. So I don't know whether ADT even covers them or not.
So far, my lights went off a couple of times due to hurricane, because we've been hit three times, then the system said battery low and we couldn't have the alarm on. So we're not secure when we don't have any lights. One time, the alarm went off when I was shopping out of town. Their rep called me and said that one of my doors was going off. But my dad came over here and he didn't see anything. At that time, we had a little storm, so the rep was saying that maybe the storm wind triggered it. But other than that, I haven't had any false alarms. I use my alarm every time I leave my house and when I'm in here, I use it when I go to sleep. I put stay, then when I wake up in the morning, I take the stay off and I let the chime thing go. So if you open a door, it'll tell you which door is open. But I only do that with the kitchen, because that's really the only door we use. I can also open the front door and see if it's going to chime. I just never thought to do that.
