    For anyone who decided to ever close their account, make dang sure you have plenty of information and verification with emails and confirmations number or whatever you can get because I had called and canceled my services, I was told more than once it was closed and I just had to pay the balance on the account as soon as possible which I was fine with. Well low and behold they DID NOT close my account and I ended up with another bill cycle charge that they expect me to pay it all. What bs is this?

    I have so many complaints with this system; it’s not even funny. I don’t know where to begin! For starters it does not record what it should be recording, the cameras keep dropping videos. Somebody actually broke one of my doors, the locks and apparently the camera decided not to record at that time. I also had an issue with one of the sensors for the doors. I can’t begin to tell you; it took them one year to send me the correct product. I also had an issue that every time I call them, for some reason I could not get through to them. I had to use someone else’s phone in order to speak to somebody on the phone. I do not recommend the service, and I’m at the verge of canceling at this point in time. After this incident with my door, I do not trust them at all, they are useless!!! Below you will see the picture of the broken lock on my patio door.

    Tech and service is great, until your panel dies and you need to call them for support. They try to find out about your life story and aggressively sell you their upgrades. Saying yes or no, you will be transferred several times to the “right specialist” until their system finally hangs up on you. There is a 5 to 10 minute wait between transfers. Every transfer needs verification with a link and a code texted to your phone. By the 5th transfer, the call hangs up while you are on hold. The second call is no better. This is 3 hours out of your life! I have been a customer for 6 years, and the last 2 years have been a nightmare to call them where it might take days for them to give you a solution.

    If I could give ADT a zero-star review, I would. From the beginning of this process, I was promised that transferring my security system if I moved would be simple and hassle-free. However, it has been anything but easy. To make a long story short, I have been passed between too many people and departments, each assuring me, “I will make sure this issue is resolved,” or “You have nothing to worry about,” only for the opposite to happen. I am now stuck in a contract, and I have yet to speak with anyone who truly understands or addresses the challenges I have experienced with this company.

    Once my contract is complete, I will never use ADT again. The customer service process is overly fragmented, with too many departments involved and no clear accountability. As a recent example, I spent 1 hour and 20 minutes speaking with four different representatives, only to have a supervisor tell me that I must wait to hear from my relocation specialist before I can change my address. I was also told that I would need to install the sensors myself, despite the fact that ADT charges a fee if a technician is sent out to perform the installation.

    I had squatter issues, and ADT was the best service to have to put an alarm on the house. The installation technician will show you how to use it. It's self-explanatory. Even if you're not technically savvy, it's easy. I received good customer service and the service technician was very knowledgeable. Anytime I had an issue, ADT took care of it right away. I'm 1,000% satisfied with everything. The system is easy to access and maintain, and if I have any situation, it lets me know right away. I get an alert on my phone.

And, these high pressure sales techniques just guarantee we will never sign with ADT. Reputable companies are honest.

But prior to that, I was struggling. There were different apps. There's the monitoring app that you need to be online, there's an app for you to pay your bill, there's the app on your phone to turn the alarm off and on, and there's an app where you can see the zones and sensors. The app part was a little disjointed for me and I got a few runarounds in the very beginning of trying to get some help because I didn't know where to go.

    Having a horrible experience trying to cancel service after being a customer for over 8 years. One of my offices suffers from persistent false alarms that support can't fix. Another office had a faulty touchpad, but ADT required me to either sign a contract renewal or pay out-of-pocket for a service call to replace it. To top it off, to cancel service now, they are demanding I pay out the remainder of a 5-year contract. I was transferred to three different agents and left on hold for 15 minutes during the final attempt to disconnect. I understand initial setup costs, but penalizing long-term, dissatisfied customers this heavily is unreasonable. Given their 1.6-star rating, this customer service model clearly isn't working. I do not recommend ADT.

    Original Review: Sept. 11, 2026

    Ever since we switched from ADT to ADT Blu we have had nothing but problems. We had difficulties with installation, reps kept telling us we were active and installed and we were not. It took probably 2 months of going back and forth to show as active. Because they took so long to activate us, we were charged the cancellation fee on our old contract. We were initially told we’d be refunded in 24 hours, which turned into a week, which they’ve now said will take another 2 months to obtain. They are showing us as active in their system but our app still shows installation mode. This has been a terrible experience and if I could give zero starts I would. 10/10 do NOT recommend ADT. I’ll be getting away from them as soon as a can.

    Disappointed with ADT overall.
    1. Expensive equipment and outdated app. The low-battery chirping was especially frustrating—I lost sleep multiple nights because there was no easy way to temporarily silence it.
    2. Too expensive compared with newer, more user-friendly systems.

    3. Cancellation was frustrating. It required a phone call during working hours, followed by a long wait and 20+ minutes of repeated discount offers and comments about losing protection if I cancelled. For the price, I expected a much more modern and customer-friendly experience.

    Moved out of my primary home and called ADT to inquire about transferring service to new homeowner. The girl working from home (baby crying in background) at customer service wanted to upsell me a different plan, and informed me I could close the account but would have to buy out the contract for 700+ dollars. I said “ok, I will just keep the existing account and since new owners will not be in the home for 6-9 months, I’ll continue to pay my account as is”.

    I found out 1 week later the customer service rep, likely upset because I did not let her upsell me, closed my account. Then after being on hold for 37 minutes then transferred to another account specialist and hold for another 26 minutes, the “account specialist” transferred me again, to another “specialist” upon which I was then hung up on. So I did not purchase ADT at my new home and in my new neighborhood with 40 homes 1.5 million+ being built I will personally knock on every new homeowner's door and inform them of my experience and advise them to use our local alarm service, which I now have and far greater customer appreciation.

    In the days before cellular phones, wireless connections, and AI, ADT ran the show. Running copper wire around one's home. Picking up the telephone when the alarm company called. Today, services like "Ring" provide so much more convenience and information; and at a much lower cost. More than a month after my wife and I decided to terminate our expensive "land line". I phoned ADT to inquire why they were unaware that we were no longer connected. It occurred to me that they should have been trying to reach me at any of our secondary contact telephone numbers to inform me of the disconnect, but I got nothing.

    When I called, they had no explanation for why their record had an entirely different phone number (from a different part of the state) on my record for over ten years. Needless to say, I was furious that I'd paid thousands of dollars during that time when they had no way to contact me! I never got an explanation nor a refund! In our other home, we use a "Ring" doorbell that is very simple to install and provides all the information that we need on our cel phones... and can be connected to all sorts of sensors... at a much lower cost.

    **ADT Home Security review: 1/5** ADT looks fine on the front end. Monitoring works. The brand is familiar. Then you need something replaced or serviced after the honeymoon period, and the whole thing falls apart. After-service pricing is brutal. A keypad, sensor, camera, or tech visit can cost so much that it is cheaper to eat the pain, cancel the plan, and start over with someone else than to keep patching their system. That is not a security company. That is a lock-in machine.

    Long contracts and early-termination fees make it worse. You are not just paying for monitoring. You are paying to stay trapped while they charge premium money for parts and labor that should be basic upkeep. When the math says “cancel the whole thing and leave,” the product has already failed. I will not recommend ADT to anyone. If you want a system you can actually live with after year one, look at a company where you own the equipment and you are not paying a fortune every time something breaks.

I’m happy right where I am with the system that I have. It serves my purpose, and I'm familiar with it. I'm very happy with ADT and I wouldn't switch. The price is great as well.

And if I want to get everything installed, he will just do it. The gentleman came on the day I scheduled for him and talked to me about things. Everyone said it's going to cost me $1,800 for installation. If that had been told in the beginning, I would have said no and I would have told them not to even bother coming because I'm not going to pay them. So, it's very much misrepresented to me.

    I was charged $1,800 for installation, and as all that was getting done, a contract was sent to my phone. But the gentleman said it was just a contract and asked me to sign. I was talking to the guy who was installing the system and I told him I just wanted the cameras and that I don't know how much I need the ADT service. He said I can cancel it any time and there are no fees or costs. I don't have to keep it and just make payments on my cameras. But that was not the case. If I cancel the ADT, then I will have a penalty to pay, and then I have to pay off the entire balance of the cameras. I made a complaint and wanted to talk to somebody, and I told ADT to come pick up their stuff. I never even armed the building once in the month that I paid for the service. I got six people, and there’s always somebody home.

    I also had some internet outages and the camera only works off the Wi-Fi. You can't even attach it to your phone. The cameras are not worth $3,000 to me and I don't know what they do. I personally even moved the cameras myself from where they were initially put because it was not a good setup. I've readjusted them. The rep from ADT said it was not refundable and I couldn’t cancel the service. I got bait-and-switched and lied to. So now, I'm stuck with ADT for five years because that's the contract. If not, I have to pay everything off. Then I said that, at the very least, they had to give me free installation. I'll stay with them and I'll deal with it. Because they could have done better on sales to see what I needed or they could have explained.

    ADT should sell me some $5,000 cameras so I can at least have coverage in the event of an outage. That should have been explained better, and they should have sold me a better package, or at least let me know. But no one cares. It's always a number. ADT has terrible customer service and the only thing they offered was that I don’t have to pay for the next three months of service. But I don't want their service. I’ve only been here a month and they are strong-arming me into staying with them for five years. I also had to pay for installation that I was told I was not going to pay for. So, I'm always thinking about calling the Better Business Bureau or filing a civil suit.

    My mother is 98 years old and in a nursing home. She no longer needs her ADT service. We contacted ADT and informed them of her current situation, we also informed them that all her money is now going to the nursing home, which renders her not able to pay for her ADT. ADT would not turn off her equipment unless we jump through a few hoops meaning documentation. We supplied the documentation that they asked for, they still billed her after they received the documentation. Because they are still billing her it has caused her to go into a negative balance on her checking account which pays for her care.

    We explained all of this to ADT they continue to bill her. They also told us they didn’t want the equipment back because it’s now obsolete. That didn’t stop them from charging her full price for this obsolete equipment. ADT could care less about my mother‘s situation, again she’s 98 years old. They will bill you full price, even though it’s not being used and again the equipment is outdated. Very sad that a big company like that would take advantage of someone in my mother‘s situation.

I have requested twice for them to send me a copy of the contract so I can see who signed it!!! I HATE this company, so I have to pay for a service I am not receiving.

    My prior provider raised my rates and when I called to inquire about having some rate reduction because of the length of time I've been with them, they were not receptive. I switched to ADT and I've been extremely pleased with the service from them. I had my system upgraded last year. When I replaced my windows and had to remove the sensors and had them replaced, there was an issue with two windows where the sensor was reading incorrectly. But ADT was very quick in helping me identify what the error was then submitting replacement sensors for those windows. They were very helpful and accommodating. Communicating with them has been very easy. Their AI is very effective and efficient as far as identifying what the issue is. When I get a rep on the line, they're also very professional. They resolve my concerns in a timely manner.

    I would give ADT 5 stars at the moment, and I hope they keep it that way. The alerts are very timely. When I left my backdoor open, I got an alert letting me know that the door was open. When we had a power outage here due to a storm over a week and a half ago, ADT sent an alert as well. ADT has been great with me. They have a competitor who I looked at but I did not like that the installation was on the customer, and if you didn't do the installation yourself of the gadgets, then you'd have to pay extra to have a technician come out and do so. ADT is seamless for someone like me who is not DIY. They are very helpful to work with. They have remote service where there's a technician who can walk you through what the steps are and if that did not work, they would send a tech out on site to work on the issue.

    Reviewed Sept. 2, 2026

    My experience with ADT has been extremely frustrating, and it ultimately led me to cancel my service after several years as a customer. For approximately 3–4 years, my ADT doorbell camera did not allow me to rewind and view previous recordings, which was a feature I reasonably expected to have as part of my service. When I eventually contacted ADT about the issue, I was told that the feature was actually supposed to work and that I should have called earlier to have it fixed. When I asked why the technician who originally installed the system didn’t make sure that everything was properly set up and functioning, I was told that that wasn’t the technician’s job.

    So I paid for the service for years without having access to a feature I was apparently supposed to have, and when I finally discovered the problem, the response was essentially that I should have known to call sooner. On another occasion, I noticed that my monthly bill had been increased to approximately $70 per month. When I called ADT about the price, they were able to reduce my monthly bill to approximately $40 per month. It was frustrating that I had to catch the increase myself and contact ADT before the price was corrected.

    Then ADT updated its app, and shortly afterward my alarm system stopped allowing me to arm it from my phone. Being able to control my alarm from my phone was one of the main reasons I had the system in the first place. At that point, I decided I was done with ADT. I didn’t even want to call customer service and spend more time trying to troubleshoot the problem because of my previous experiences dealing with ADT.

    When I decided to cancel, I tried multiple avenues to get the account cancelled. I spoke with an online agent and also spoke with other ADT representatives over the phone. However, I was repeatedly told that the only way to cancel my account was to call one specific department within ADT. I then asked to speak with a supervisor, but my request was denied. I was essentially left with no option other than calling the specific cancellation department and waiting for someone to answer.

    I ultimately spent approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes on hold just trying to reach someone who could process my cancellation. That’s an unreasonable amount of time for a customer simply trying to cancel a service. The fact that I had already tried speaking with other representatives and an online agent, only to be told they couldn’t help me and that I had to call one specific department, made the experience even more frustrating.

    Once I finally reached someone, the representative offered me up to two free months of service and a monthly price as low as $29 to try to convince me to stay. While I understand that she was doing her job and trying to retain me as a customer, it was frustrating to discover that ADT apparently had the ability to offer a $29 monthly rate and free months of service only after I had reached the point of cancelling.

    I ultimately declined because, at that point, the problem wasn’t simply the price anymore. I had lost confidence in the service and in ADT’s customer support. To make matters worse, ADT is requiring me to provide 30 days’ advance notice before my cancellation takes effect, meaning I am being required to pay for another month of service even though I have already made the decision to leave and have spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to get the cancellation processed.

    I understand that ADT may have a 30-day cancellation policy, but the entire experience makes that policy particularly frustrating. I spent over an hour trying to reach the department I was told was the only department capable of cancelling my account, after already attempting to cancel through other customer-service channels. I also asked for a supervisor and was denied. I was actively trying to provide notice and cancel my service, but ADT’s own cancellation process made it extremely difficult to do so.

    My experience with ADT wasn’t one isolated issue. It was a pattern of problems: years of a camera feature not working, being told I should have called sooner, being told the technician wasn’t responsible for setting it up, unexplained price increases, having to call to get my bill reduced, an app update breaking a core feature of my alarm system, being unable to cancel through multiple customer-service channels, being denied a supervisor, spending over an hour on hold just to cancel, and now being required to pay for another month because of the 30-day cancellation requirement.

    After several years as a customer, I ultimately reached the point where I no longer felt ADT was worth what I was paying. The technology problems were frustrating, but the customer service experience was the biggest reason I decided to leave. I hope ADT takes this feedback seriously. Customers shouldn’t have to spend hours navigating different departments simply to cancel a service they no longer want, especially after already attempting to resolve the issue through multiple customer-service channels. I would strongly encourage anyone considering ADT to look beyond the advertised equipment and monthly price and consider what their experience might be like when something goes wrong, or they eventually want to leave.

    **Extremely Disappointed with ADT – Misleading Information and a Huge Waste of Time**. I am extremely disappointed with my experience with ADT and the way my billing issue has been handled. Before my installation, I spoke with **two different ADT agents**, and both confirmed the same pricing: **$10.59 per month for the equipment and $40.49 per month for monitoring**. Based on that information, I understood that I would be paying the equipment financing monthly over the 24-month term. When the technician came to install the equipment, I decided that I wanted to pay a portion upfront. The technician ended up charging me **$635.65 upfront for the equipment**, which was already processed. He then told me that I would still pay the **$40.49 monthly monitoring fee**.

    After doing the math, I realized that I would effectively be paying **$381.49 more over the 24-month period** than what I was originally told I would pay under the monthly equipment financing arrangement. When I contacted ADT to resolve the discrepancy, I was told that because I had already paid for the equipment in full upfront, I was no longer eligible for the discounted monthly financing rate. This has been an absolute nightmare. I have spent **the past three weeks calling ADT more than 10 times**, explaining the same situation over and over again to different representatives. Each time, I had to start from the beginning and repeat everything.

    During my last call, the representative told me that the **local branch would contact me** to resolve the issue, potentially by providing a credit or refund. I waited, but **no one ever contacted me**. Today, I had to call ADT again myself, only to be told essentially the same thing—that because I had already paid the equipment upfront, there was nothing they could do.

    After three weeks of calls and countless hours of my time, the "resolution" was a **one-time $40.49 credit**, which is simply one month of monitoring. I was also offered a free smoke detector or key fob, neither of which I need or asked for. I declined and asked if they could provide additional credit toward my bill instead. I was told they couldn't do anything further and that I would have to **call back next month to ask for another credit**.

    Why should I have to keep calling every month to receive credits to resolve a problem that was caused by inconsistent information from ADT in the first place? This has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. The amount of money is one issue, but the bigger issue is the **lack of accountability, poor communication, and the amount of time ADT has wasted** trying to get this resolved. I relied on the information provided by ADT representatives when making my decision. If two different agents confirmed the same monthly pricing, customers should be able to trust that information. Instead, after the payment was processed, I was essentially told that there was nothing ADT could do.

    **I will absolutely not be renewing with ADT after my 24-month term, and I will never use ADT again.** There are plenty of other home security companies out there, and customer service like this is not worth the hassle. **Very disappointing experience. I would strongly recommend getting everything in writing and carefully reviewing the payment structure before committing to ADT.**

    ⭐ 1 Star – Extremely Disappointing ADT+ Experience. Unfortunately, my experience with ADT+ has been extremely disappointing. I had the service for less than one month, yet I was charged an $854 early termination fee. The initial installation took place at the end of July 2026. The technician installed an alarm keypad and one motion camera; however, the additional security cameras were never installed because they were determined to be incompatible with our existing Wi-Fi system. The complete system I expected was never successfully installed.

    ADT should clearly inform customers before signing a service contract about the Wi-Fi requirements and compatibility of its security cameras. Compatibility should be determined before equipment is sold and a customer is placed under contract—not after installation has already begun. Technicians came to our home more than three times attempting to address the issues, but the complete system was still never installed. I was also told by the technician that I had three months to cancel the service. When I later contacted ADT Customer Service, I was informed that the cancellation period was actually only three days. I relied on the information provided by the technician, making this discrepancy particularly concerning.

    I have contacted ADT more than six times trying to resolve this matter. I was repeatedly transferred from one customer-service representative or department to another and placed on hold for up to 30 minutes at a time. After having ADT+ for less than one month, dealing with an incomplete installation, multiple technician visits, incompatible cameras, and numerous customer-service calls, I was still charged an $854 early termination fee.

    I am requesting a full refund of the $854 termination fee. I do not believe it is reasonable to charge such a substantial termination fee under these circumstances, particularly when the complete system was never successfully installed and the service was active for less than a month. I expected professional installation, accurate information, and responsive customer service from ADT. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend ADT+.

    For more than 20 years, we have been loyal ADT customers. Today, we are senior citizens who should be able to depend upon the security system we have faithfully maintained and paid for over the course of two decades. Instead, for nearly a year, we have been left with a sophisticated home security system—including multiple cameras—that does not properly communicate with ADT’s network. We have repeatedly contacted ADT and have had multiple technicians come to our home attempting to restore the system. Despite those visits, the problem has never been properly resolved. What has been most troubling is ADT’s apparent position that because our existing equipment is now considered “old” or no longer compatible with its network, our only solution is to purchase an entirely new system from ADT at our own expense. That is unacceptable.

    At no point during our many years as customers were we advised that continued monitoring would someday require us to repurchase an entire security system simply because ADT changed, upgraded, or discontinued compatibility with the network supporting the equipment it previously installed and serviced. We invested substantially in this system with the reasonable expectation that ADT would continue to provide the monitoring and technical support for which we were paying.

    Even more concerning, we sought assistance through the North Carolina Department of Justice. We were subsequently informed of ADT’s representation that the matter had been resolved and that we had been provided a $400 discount toward an upgrade. I strongly dispute that representation. To my knowledge, no such resolution was ever reached with me. ADT has not had a substantive conversation with me in approximately a year regarding any agreed resolution. If ADT maintains otherwise, I respectfully request that it produce the corresponding email, letter, recorded conversation, signed agreement, or other documentation demonstrating when I accepted such an arrangement. There should be a clear documentary trail if such an agreement actually occurred.

    What makes this situation especially painful is that this is not simply a disagreement over electronics. This is about security. We are senior citizens living during a time when home security is not a luxury. We relied upon ADT for decades to help protect our home, our property, and, most importantly, our lives. After more than 20 years of loyalty, we should not find ourselves effectively unprotected because equipment originally provided and supported by ADT can no longer communicate with its current network. I also have a unique perspective because I previously worked for ADT in approximately 2010, when the company was under Tyco ownership. The level of customer care I am experiencing today is not representative of the company I remember.

    I understood ADT to be a company built upon trust, protection, service, and long-term customer relationships. After two decades of loyalty, I never imagined that we would be struggling this intensely simply to obtain the protection for which we have faithfully paid. I am asking Consumer Affairs to look beyond the corporate explanation and consider the human impact of this matter. Twenty-plus-year customers should not be abandoned because technology changes. Senior citizens should not be told that their security depends upon whether they can afford to purchase an entirely new system from the same company they have supported for decades. We are not asking for anything unreasonable.

    We are asking ADT to take responsibility for providing a functioning security solution, to accurately represent the history of our communications, and to treat longtime customers with the dignity, fairness, and concern that more than 20 years of loyalty should warrant. In these dangerous and uncertain times, no senior citizen who has faithfully trusted a security company for decades should be left wondering whether anyone is actually protecting their home. ADT, after more than 20 years of our loyalty, we are simply asking you to honor the trust that your company spent decades asking us to place in you.

    After being a loyal ADT customer for over a decade and investing heavily in their equipment throughout my home, I deeply regret trusting this company. I am leaving this review to strongly warn anyone considering their services: do not hire ADT. I 100% do not recommend them. My recent experience trying to purchase and install updated Google Nest cameras has completely shattered any remaining trust I had in them. ADT has cancelled five separate installation appointments, showing a callous, reckless disregard for their customers' time and lives.

    I personally took two entire days off work to be home for the initial appointments, both of which were cancelled without care. After those initial failures, I escalated the issue to a manager who personally called my local office and booked a Saturday appointment for me. When that Saturday arrived, it was cancelled yet again. The customer service representative's explanation was beyond insulting. My local office reportedly said, "I don't know why she's trying to come on Saturday, because we don't even do this work on Saturday." Management has zero control over local office operations, and the left hand clearly does not know what the right hand is doing.

    The final straw was my appointment on Friday, July 24th. After receiving a confirmation the day prior, I called that very morning just to double-check that the technicians were en route. The agent explicitly assured me they were coming, only for someone to call me less than an hour later to cancel on me once again. To have five appointments cancelled, frequently at the absolute last minute, is not just incompetent; it is predatory toward a customer's time and schedule. ADT operates with zero accountability, abysmal internal communication, and complete apathy toward loyal long-term customers.

    Having a home security system requires a foundation of trust. If a company cannot be trusted to show up for an appointment they confirmed an hour prior, they certainly cannot be trusted with the safety and security of your home. Save yourself the stress, wasted paid time off, and frustration—take your business anywhere else.

    Me and my husband recently signed up for ADT but then one day we knew it was not for us. The installer had left the electronic deadbolt here and then proceeded to tell us we could install ourselves and how easy it was. None of the cameras doorbells or devices were wired at all. They drill holes in your wall and then bring cords to your volunteer house for your plugs. I called in three days to get three day cancellation of the program/contract. We were told yes the day the guy was supposed to come out in the middle of the equipment he never showed. Instead we received a call saying he was coming just to pick up to the deadbolt and I told him it's not what we wanted. We wanted all different. So he said he would not come out for just that then coz that was not his order.

    We tried again to get the guy to come out. We were told no. Instead if we cancel our contract we would charge 2,100 dollars. They said there was nothing to do. They would not honor the 3-day cancellation and said we could cancel today and be charged 2100. I tried it again four more times, they kept saying the same thing, we would not honor it. The last time we talked to them he said he went over all the notes and because we had said that we did not want to be charged 2100 and only we did not be charged that was to stay with them that they wouldn't honor the three day cancellation and then proceed to tell us that they are honoring it but we're just not eligible for it because we did not want to charge the 2100 so therefore because we were forced like having a gun put to our heads did not take the 2100 fee they're not saying we're completely ineligible.

    I told them that we were forcing to a contract and every time I called it was like having somebody putting a Target on our heads and if we said the wrong word it would be blown off. After 30 days with them they canceled my contract and charges 4430 and proceeded to tell us that Ruby in charge of the equipment and the servicing services they offer for the nest that because now they canceled us we weren't going to use and after crying all day my husband and I went into the office and talked to a local ADT representative who told us that they would have to represent this coz he can see clearly in the notes where we requested the 3-day cancellation and they have to honor that and told me, "Not to worry, you won't be charged $4,100. Everything will go great." he was wrong legitimate and then proceeding to tell us that we weren't eligible again for the 3 day cancellation.

    I said you could review the services for us and the charges and possibly get it all taken back away but it's for one but we would have to agree to be with them for the contract. Now we have officially been trapped, forced and blackmailed by $4100 bill. It would have no other choice but in continuous searches with them or they would charge us 4,100. I even referred to the guy on the phone the representative that I felt like I was having a gun put to my head and he said, "I'll be right back," and he went sure as hell got that 4100 and then forced us for if you go through to pay for the first two months right then there or we would have to pay the full amount.

    We had no choice we had no option they completely trapped and scammed us. Do not use them. They're liars. They are manipulative. But the only thing I can say is at least they got us wrangled in trapped and blackmailed into his contract but at least we don't have to pay the 4,100 a month because that was our only other option even though we did do the 3-day cancellation.

    Horrible company. Never, never use. They will rip you off and they will steal from you. They will steal your soul. It will steal your heart. It will make you cry for hours on end and don't even care. They're heartless and uncompassionate. Stay away from ADT and when the guy wasn't selling the system I asked him about the doorbell because it didn't look like it was securely secured onto the trimming of the door and he said if it was stolen or something happened to it that they would replace it well within 3 days. After he left someone did take it. We had them on camera and they would not replace it. Basically we had to do that. I've also included pictures of the holes they left in my walls to access cordage hanging out of the holes being incompetent job they had somebody do

    My Experience With ADT — Think Twice Before Signing a Contract. I signed a 3-year contract with ADT, and honestly, I regret it. I decided to pay the contract in full because I was concerned about unexpected or random fees. Unfortunately, that didn’t solve the problem. After I paid in full, I was still told I owed additional money because ADT claimed they had made a mistake. If you refuse to pay and try to cancel, you may find yourself dealing with another problem: the equipment can stop working, while you can still be responsible for the remaining contract term. Trying to get help from customer service was also extremely frustrating. I was transferred from one department to another until I eventually felt like giving up.

    This is based on my personal experience, but if you’re considering signing a long-term ADT contract, I strongly recommend reading the contract carefully, asking about every possible fee, and comparing other security companies first. From my experience, I would not choose ADT again. I hope you read this before signing up and consider your options carefully. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    My experience with ADT has been extremely frustrating. The system quality has been poor, the equipment has been defective or unreliable, and the monitoring service has not worked as I expected. What concerns me most is the camera performance. I have had people in my driveway, yet my ADT cameras failed to pick them up. That defeats the entire purpose of having a security camera system. I’m paying for security and peace of mind, but I cannot depend on the cameras to detect activity on my own property.

    When I’ve raised these issues, I’ve received excuses about why the monitoring or equipment wasn’t working rather than a satisfactory solution. A security system should work when you need it—not leave you wondering whether an incident was captured. For the cost of ADT, I expect reliable equipment, effective cameras, and dependable monitoring. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering ADT research other options carefully before making a commitment.

We have not received a military discount, and they told us that we would qualify for some type of discount after 6 months of being with them.

    Also, our cameras went offline over the weekend. We called for support and a technician. Instead of them sending someone, they required that I got on a ladder and climb up the sides of my house to reset the cameras and troubleshoot the issue myself.

    Everything was fine until I tried to cancel. My contract was up July 2026, I called on 6/23/26 to cancel. Spent 30 minutes on the phone with a manager named Mark. He tried to offer me discounts which I politely declined and said I just wanted to cancel. Mark kept asking me things like "Well what is your plan in case of a home invasion" and "What would you do if there was a fire" which was very off-putting and left me feeling like Mark was gonna burn my house down. He finally let me cancel.

    I checked my ADT portal on 7/1/26 and it said my contract end date had changed from 2026 to 2029! I called back and spoke with a nice lady who informed me I had in fact canceled and she wasn't sure why the portal reflected a 2029 end date. Flash forward to today 8/24/26 and I receive an email informing me my payment for 9/12/26 was scheduled, I check my bank account and sure enough I was charged for August as well. Confused I called ADT for a third time and spoke with a very kind man who let me know that he sees my cancellation request from 6/23/26 but that it hasn't been processed and that he is now processing it and backdating it. Not really sure what Mark's problem is but at this point I would sooner enter a contract with those annoying Vivint people over ADT.

    I've been with ADT for 35 years. I was with Brinks before ADT, and ADT bought Brinks. They took over the Brinks system and they are just as good. We had a low battery signal, and the tech rechecked that and cleaned it up. Everything was fine. I'm pleased with the ADT service.

    We've been protected with ADT for at least 12 years. I like being able to remotely control the system from a web-enabled device, like my cellphone. The service is good, but ADT is a big company. Your home will be secured and you will get warranties on your devices. But if you have a problem, if it be a billing problem or a system problem, it could be a bigger problem because of the size of the company in terms of them being able to get to you or understand. Because if you call in, you transfer, sometimes multiple times. Also, I've been having some troubles with a signal with a sensor and I haven't had resolution on it. But for the most part, it has always been well.

    The company that I worked for had ADT and if they’re good enough for a company, they’re good enough for us. I’ve been using the system for 10 years and the response is quick if we have a problem. When our alarms are not being activated properly, the techs are out the very same day. The ease of using the system is my favorite feature and communicating with ADT is very easy, too. About three weeks ago, the technician had to put in a couple of new pads and the service was excellent. ADT is very dependable and reasonably priced.

    Avoid this company. I have had a horrible experience with ADT's customer service and billing departments. Getting assistance over the phone requires waiting on hold for an eternity, only to receive unhelpful or contradictory answers. On top of the poor support, they continue to raise monthly rates without notice. Trying to cancel my contract has been an absolute nightmare. Save yourself the stress and find a provider that respects its customers. I was told the equipment I bought for a lot of money was a piece of crap by one of their service techs!!! Don’t trust them.

    We had a break-in at our home way back in 2008. So, we sought out ADT to keep our home secure after that event. I've had a technician come out and help get some things updated on the panel, and also helped me update things with my online and app access, so that the people who don't live in my home anymore can't successfully have access if they get in.

    ADT is a high-end security system, and a very well-designed and seamless alarm system. We've been protected with them for several months. We went by reputation and we were trying to get a more intuitive system. Their customer service has been on par lately. I also like the online communication system as far as chat. The interaction I had was with a wiring issue and they were very accommodating to the point of understanding the error that took place. They were able to schedule a meeting quickly and handle the affair without issue and accommodated me price-wise because of being a new customer.

    There's still a little lag when it comes to video. But overall, it's a stellar system. I like the simplicity of arming and disarming through the app on the phone, and the ability to access no matter where you're located. I like the how streamlined the system is and user-friendly the software is. My sense of security is higher than it was before my prior system.

It's been almost six months since and the system has been good. My favorite feature is being to be able to use the system from my phone. All of a sudden though, my monitor went down, so I have to call and follow-up with them. I'm planning on using the website on the weekend to fix my monitor. I also had a problem some time ago. They couldn’t do anything, so the rep referred it to a customer service representative and we finished. Whoever was helping me was very nice and cooperative. All in all, ADT is good and I will encourage people to join because they do good service. Getting a service justifies the price.

    I've had ADT since the beginning of February. When the technician originally came in, I didn't have Wi-Fi, and he told me that they couldn't connect one of my cameras on the back and my Ring camera on the door until I had Wi-Fi connected. Now, I have Wi-Fi, and I'm wondering how I can get a technician to come back out and connect the rest of that stuff for me. I reached out to ADT not too long ago through my app, but I haven't heard anything back. It's been easy to interact with the reps. This is the only instance where I wasn’t sure if they received my message or not. Other than that, I have done very well with everybody

    I got ADT because I'm recently out of a bad relationship, and when my two kids are away at college, I'm by myself. I felt safer having the extra protection, as well as I have two pets in the house. When I'm at work, I work overnight as a nurse. I also have that extra protection for fire. The system was good to have in case I'm not there to be able to react right away.

    When I leave the house, I lock the door and set the alarm system, and I have no worries. When I come home and I'm in my house by myself, I set the alarm system and have no worries as well. Everything's covered. I've even had a couple of instances over the past couple of months. My one son who came home from college was cooking, and too much smoke filled in the kitchen. He had windows open and the system went off. The way ADT reacted and called so fast to make sure it was legit or not, it was very warming to me to know that they were that quick.

    I had Brinks originally almost 20 years ago and they bought Brinks out about six years ago. So they just changed names. I’ve been with the ADT name for at least six years and I’ve only had to deal with the reps two times. I had technical questions and I wasn't kept on the phone for an hour. I originally had a dial-up communicator and I did an upgrade when I moved from one house to another. I had a cell communicator put in a cellphone signal communicator. We use the ADT system every night when we go to sleep. So we depend on it, but thank God I've never had it where someone actively tried to break in and it went off. I'm happy with the company. I have very little interaction, which is good, which means the system works well.

    ADT never gave me a reason to get mad at them or for not giving me good service. The system does its job. I used to install alarms 100 years ago when I was a young guy and I'm happy with the technical aspect of how well it works and what it does. The other morning, I forgot to shut it off when I left for work and it went off. I shut it off and I got a text message within a minute saying that a door got opened with the alarm on. The price was competitive at the time when I had the system installed. I originally paid for it almost 20 years ago and when I moved from one house to the other, they gave me a credit. So, it didn't cost me the full price when they installed the new system in the new house I got. I've recommended ADT to my sister. They got them since I got mine. My daughter got married, bought a house for her and her husband, and they have ADT.

    About five years ago, I was moving from Miami to Ocala and since I'm a veteran, my realtor told me about ADT. I called to set up the alarm and the gentleman, Lewis, was very helpful. He explained everything, did all the connections, and made sure that I understood the system and the installation. He took his time, answered all my questions and made me feel that I knew how everything worked.

    I had to upgrade IQ Panel but the system has been great. They also had fixed the doorbell that came with it and replaced a couple of smoke detectors because they kept going off plenty of times. As a matter of fact, the police and the fire department showed up a couple of times. I told ADT there was no problem but I guess they missed the call. But they came and moved one of the smoke detectors from in front of the the air duct into the middle of the living room, and I haven’t had any noises. I would tell others to go ahead and use ADT. Sure, there are some hiccups and things go bad in there, but above all, everything is good. They call you when the alarm goes off and make sure that you’re okay.

    DO NOT SIGN UP WITH ADT! We have been ADT customers for 26 YEARS, and after our latest experience, we are done. We have had numerous problems over the years, including outdated equipment, equipment breaking shortly after service technicians left, and sensors going down without us knowing. This week was the final straw. Our alarm system was completely down for TWO DAYS, and we were never notified. We discovered the problem ourselves when we found the panel dark.

    I called ADT and, after dealing with an AI bot and waiting about 30 minutes, was transferred to customer service. I explained that our system had been down and no one had notified us. I was told ADT had called us three times. They did not. We have a complete record of incoming calls. We checked every call and even called back numbers we didn't recognize. There were no calls from ADT. A supervisor later insisted that ADT had called three times. I asked whether these calls were made by AI or a person. He told me both. Again, we have no record of these calls.

    At that point, we had a much bigger concern: We no longer trusted ADT to properly monitor our home or notify us when our system wasn't working. So, after 26 years, we decided to leave. ADT now wants to charge us approximately $600 to get out of our contract, PLUS another month of service for a system that is completely dead. They offered us discounted deals to stay. But when we said no because WE NO LONGER FEEL SAFE WITH THEIR SERVICE, suddenly 26 years of loyalty didn't matter. A multibillion-dollar corporation is squeezing another $600 plus an additional month's payment out of a 26-year customer who no longer trusts the service they're paying for. Twenty-six years of loyalty. A system down for two days without our knowledge. No notification that we can find any evidence of. And a $600 bill to leave. Terrible.

    I was with ADT for so long in Pensacola before we moved to our current home. It's going to be somewhere north of 11 years now and they have given us such great service over the years. There are two reasons we have ADT. When my father-in-law passed away, my wife inherited the family home with her brother. He came with the house, and so did ADT. That's what my father-in-law used and he used it for the second reason that we kept it. Their connection to USAA has always been strong. So, since my father-in-law was in the Navy, he had USAA, and that's why he went with ADT. We stayed with it because they were good to USAA customers. That's always been a factor for us.

    ADT's service package has been excellent and we've never had to Upgrade, but we have. We voluntarily added a few features when we came to the new house in Northern Alabama. They had a few things that they had not had the last time I upgraded in Pensacola, which was also voluntary. When I managed to set off smoke detectors, they called to make sure that I was safe. I am generally satisfied. I sleep better knowing that we have ADT in the house. They've been very comforting over the years.

    ADT is a top-star company. Excellent communications if you have to call them or they have to call you. Also, the system works perfectly. If we accidentally come in and set the alarms off, it works exactly the way it should. I feel safe with it. If the alarm is set and somebody opens up a door or window, it goes off. That gives me the best security. I have peace of mind. My app on my cell phone is perfect of the time. Sometimes it's down. It doesn't work. But it's probably more to do with the cell phone service. I had to call ADT because my app wasn't working, and the rep was able to get it taken care of over the phone with no issue.

    We bought a new house, and ADT was part of the package. So, we had the rest of it installed and enhanced. We’ve been a customer for a year and so far, we’ve had a very good experience. The system is easy to operate and the features of the service package is very satisfactory. It came in handy once when we hadn’t moved in yet. There was something that said that the garage door was open. We were able to have the neighbor come over and check, and find out it wasn't.

    It's difficult to communicate with ADT. When I wanted to change the battery, it was hard. I could not do it myself and if I asked for help, they were going to charge me. So, I told them not to come. I want to buy something to protect me, but not cost me that much. If I need help, they should at least show me how to change the battery. Three weeks ago, one lady was very helpful. She tried to help me on the phone, and she sent a guy who showed my son how everything works. He didn't charge me, and I appreciated that. But I'm not happy with this situation.

    I've had ADT for maybe five years and it's not bad. When the guy who sold me ADT came to my door, he was very nice. His name was Jacob. He told me he was my neighbor and when I want him, I can call him any time. But he just made me sign this contract. I called him and nobody answered. That made me feel bad because he made me feel secure, and then when I needed him, he disappeared. So, I cannot recommend anybody. Nobody wants to pay somebody to protect them. Everybody knows what he can afford. Life is very expensive, but I do it for my situation. I live by myself and I'm scared. At least when somebody opens the door, I know something happened. That's why I keep it, even though life is very expensive and I don't like paying monthly.

    I ain't too happy with ADT. They installed the new stuff, and it's good. But I needed a camera on the one side and a camera on the other. They told me they had lights when they come on. But I have never heard anything from anybody about it. I have them in the front and the back. I wanted them on the side too. They told me the new ones came out. The new ones had lights on. So, when they operate, the light lights up and you can see. I had inquired about it, but I never heard anything else from them. Then they raised the price without telling anybody, which I knew that was coming anyway.

    All in all, ADT is okay. It could be better if they had a representative or somebody calling you every now and then and asking you, “What are you looking for? What do you need? Is there any way we can help you with your security need?” I haven't heard anybody. One thing I like about ADT is that if I forget to turn it on, I can turn it on from wherever I'm at. Then I can look at the house and see the back door and the front door and in the street and in the yard.

The system is easy to use but when you need to contact them, they're like every other company. You go into this voicemail thing to get a person. But other than that, everything's fine.

    My experience with ADT has been good in the 20 years that I’ve had the service. The system is impressive. It’d be a 4.5 at least on a scale of 1 to 5. My favorite feature is its simplicity, and it usually works probably 99% of the time. The few times I’ve had a problem, it’s because the wind caught the door and I didn’t get inside to shut the code off, or I walked in and forgot it because I’m old. Anytime I’m talking to relatives or people I know who don’t have an alarm system, I tell them that for the price and everything else, they should get ADT. I like the system, which is why I’ve had it for so long. Other systems have called me to switch over, but I’m satisfied with ADT.

    My mother had ADT for over ten years with both the medical assistance and house security. Unfortunately, my mother passed July 12th of this year and my nightmare began. When I called to inform them that my mother passed, I had to go through the usual verification of her passing. I asked them to cancel the service which had just been billed on the 6th of July. They told me that I was paid up for the month of July and my cancellation would be on August 1st instead of giving a refund. They billed my dead mother's bank account in August for an empty house and when I called, they said I cancelled in the middle of a billing period which was an obvious lie.

    When I asked to speak to a manager the customer representative said she couldn't help. There is more to the story which is too painful to discuss of how many times they made me verify my mother was dead when trying to find solutions. I ended up having to call my mom's bank and pay putting a stop payment on her account to ensure ADT could not take more drafts. I would never recommend this company to anyone and hope no other human being would feel this denigrated after the passing of a loved one.

    Company gives you a contract. Once that contract is coming to an end apparently you’re suppose to give a 30 day notice that the contract is over. The agents are not well informed. They told me I do not have to do anything extra. That was in May or June. Now I’m finding out I did have to call, TWO DAYS BEFORE the contract is up. Of course they expect me to pay WHEN I TRIED TO CANCEL MONTHS AGO! Terrible company. Not getting another DIME. How about you give your customer a 30 days notice that once the contract is over YOU AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE MONTH TO MONTH. I refuse to pay another month!

    Such deception with this organization. Hidden fees and charges for a technician to come out and fix a problem. All of the former companies NEVER Charged for a battery, and if we had a problem that stemmed from the unit it was addressed. Be very careful signing a contract with ADT. I have had other companies explain in full detail how they function … ADT representative was not even honest on the cost of a technician coming out if needed.

    Unit shut down because of power failure and battery drainage now will cost $40.00 to replace… They raised the rate three times after the first year (within a two year period). And now they want to charge us after they refused to even answer the phone when the unit failed to work and gave warning message. Did you get that? Wouldn’t even answer the phone. What a remarkable company that wants your hard earned money to give No Service when you need them most.

NOW I received a collection bill $415.30!! This company is trash!! I overpaid them November and December for service not used and they bill in advance.

We don't always get a warning far enough in advance that the smoke detector is running out of battery. Also, the device that picks up motion in the room sometimes gets set off just by vibrations where it's mounted near the door or some other cause which causes a false alarm. Other than that, we feel secure. When we go out, we feel protected against fire and theft. It's good to know that not only would the alarm go off, but there will be an automatic call too, either fire or police. Interview ADT. Look at their product. See if it’s up to date.

The package is more than adequate for what we need. I've installed Eufy cameras as well, so that has given us a little bit more peace of mind, but we've had incidents. So, between the two, it seems to be doing well.

    I've recommended ADT to numerous people. The equipment seems to be working very well. I just keep the batteries clean and the system lets me know if the batteries are going down.

    ADT relocates you, and they give you this great price. But when you get to the new place, they don't give you all that you had at first, and you had to pay extra. I started out paying $60. With all this relocation thing, “We can break your bill down to 47 something.” They did. But with that $47, it's not everything that I had at the other place. That's not a relocation. If you get a relocation, I figure you should have the same thing that you had at the other place, but it's not like that. That's the deal of relocation, just move your stuff over. They don't do that. So, I pay more than I was paying before, and I'm thinking about going to Brinks because that upset me.

    The system is up and running. However, I had a problem with it because I couldn't get two of the TVs to connect. They sent a guy out, and he knew what he was doing. I ended up getting everything connected. But I'm paying more for ADT than I had before. And they told me the equipment went up. That's a lot of crap. If you tell me you're gonna relocate me, you should relocate me. Don't tell me to pull all the equipment. The salesperson told me at first, “Just leave everything there, and we give you all new stuff.” But it's not like that. So, I had to pay for some of the sensors, the carbon monoxide, a little monitor that I had on a wall at the old place. Now, it's on the counter. I have to pay extra for that. In other words, I pay $20 more a month than what I was paying before, and I got the same thing I have the other place. That’s not right. All that stuff was paid for.

ADT has great customer service, quick follow-ups, and prompt service. We plan on keeping them for a while.

    I did not want to go with a provider where I had to hook up my own equipment and I decided to go with ADT. I've been a customer for six years and the features of my service package are okay. There was one negative experience last year, but it hasn’t happened since. The system went off on its own and the police were called, and my husband was harassed. ADT kept saying that my husband pressed the panic button, but my husband was asleep. I didn't really like that ADT kept saying the only way for that to go off is for someone to press it because that was not the case. Another time, when we had just gotten my dog, the alarm was going off inside the house. It ended up being a false alarm, but we didn't know if it was a burglar alarm or not.

    I’ve been with ADT for two years now. Their customer service has been great. If I have issues or something’s wrong with my cameras, I call them, and they walk me through everything. The system is good too. My favorite feature is the mobile app. I can set my alarm while I'm not at home. I can disarm it while I'm not at home. ADT is a good choice. It’s good knowing that my home is secured and all my windows and doors, too.

    We had ADT at our house. When we moved, we had to cut it. It made us a little safe in Chicago. Then, I just moved and I continued the services at my previous place. I was living in a bad domestic home situation. So, ADT always made me feel safe and protected, especially with my experience as things got worse in the house. I've had a wonderful experience with them.

    I was with Ackerman Security before, and Ackerman Security sold a bunch of their accounts to ADT. So, I really had any choice in the matter, but I haven't had any problems with them. I got a little frustrated with Ackerman's service just when I would call them on the phone. I haven't had any problems so far with that with ADT. It's a little bit frustrating when I call to talk to a real person. They want you to talk to the AI. You really have to fight to talk to a real person, but I eventually got what I needed when I called.

    Customer service-wise, they're always adequate. There's always a little bit of a language barrier because I can tell that most of them do not have English as their primary language. So, that's a little frustrating, but the times that I've had to call, we've gotten the job done. As far as the price, they haven't gone up since my account was transferred.

    Do not do business with ADT. Their customer service and cancellation process are completely predatory. I signed a 3-year contract starting April 3, 2023, and explicitly instructed them from the very beginning (just three days after installation) that the account was NOT to auto-renew. Fast forward to April 2026 when my contract legally ended—due to a bank card replacement earlier in the year, I was finally notified of a billing disruption, immediately contacted them to confirm my cancellation, and paid the final balance of $275.04 to clear the account.

    Despite fulfilling every single financial obligation through the end of my term and confirming my cancellation multiple times, ADT ignored my request, kept the account open, and slapped me with an unauthorized $68.50 charge. Now, they are holding my account hostage, refusing to close it unless I pay an additional bogus $206.53 balance that only exists because they failed to process my cancellation in the first place. They trap you in contracts, ignore your explicit cancellation instructions, and manufacture fake balances to keep billing you after your term is up. I have had to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau over this unacceptable behavior. Stay far away.

    We've had ADT since we've been down here in 2017. I had ADT in my home before we moved down to North Carolina. I've had ADT for at least 10 years. My experience has been good. If there have been problems, we've called ADT and they have addressed it or told us what we needed to do on our end. I've had no problems with them.

    The system is good. It lets us know if the batteries and certain things need changing. It lets us know if, for whatever reason, we got disconnected from the system, and then we call in and they do whatever magic they do on their end and it's back up again. It's easy to set and disarm. We feel very comfortable with ADT because it lets us know if something is amiss. So, if we go to visit friends or family or whatever, we know that the house is secure. ADT is a good use of your money with the peace of mind that it gives you. The cost per month is very reasonable and it doesn't require jumping through a whole lot of hoops to use it.

    One of my sensors recently went off, saying there was glass breakage, and it woke me up in the middle of the night. It took a couple of days to get a tech out. I’ve had ADT for almost 20 years and I haven't had to change any of the equipment over the years. I use the app more than the alarm panel to navigate the system.

    I moved in my new home in July of 2022 and I've had ADT since. They did the cameras and the sensors. I got nine windows and they put sensors in all of them, but two of them weren't working. I had them removed because the battery went out on them. When I first began with ADT, I didn't know that it was expensive to have those cameras. But after I received them and I paid by a monthly basis, everything went along just fine. I'm slightly disabled so the app helps me when I stay here and when I go out. I had forgotten to cut off my alarm once and the police came right away. ADT is good that's why I'm still with them. I'm not going to get anybody else. I'm going to stick with ADT. They have not given me any reason to go anywhere else.

    DO NOT USE ADT. Long story short. I am a renter. The house I just moved into already has ADT cameras and alarm panel. We were provided with an alarm code from our landlord but the panel wasn’t seeming to be working so we called adt to ask if they could assist. They said they would have to come out and verify all the equipment was functioning properly and we would have to sign a contract for them to even come out but that we would have 30 days to cancel the contract with no fees or repercussions. Fast forward. ADT came out. Verified everything worked correctly. Said we had to sign a contract utilizing the cameras and everything and we couldn’t just activate the alarm even though that’s all me and my husband wanted access to. Oh and they charge you a fee for them to even come out.

    So in case I’m not explaining well thus far. All I wanted was the alarm but they said we had to sign up for a year even though we had a code from the landlord which actually turns out it DID work. The guy who came out for ADT showed how ADT tries to trick you after you cancel your plan and you can still utilize your alarm it’s just hidden. Anyways, when they were here verifying the cameras worked and everything and as my husband signed they verified that we had THIRTY DAYS TO CANCEL WITH NO FEES. After about a week we realized we weren’t using the cameras at all and the app sucks and doesn’t really notify you of anything. We chose to cancel because we didn’t wanna be charged $60+ a month for a service we weren’t using. My husband called and after talking to several employees they told him to cancel we had to pay a 75% of what we owe for the year cancellation fee. THEY LIED.

    So obviously we were pissed. Because they are scummy slimy liars. After going back and forth with adt with different people, finally they said they couldn’t cancel without the fee still but they would lower our monthly bill for 3 months to $30 and they would give us 2 free cameras. Cool. My husband called a couple days later to ask when they were going to put up the new cameras and then was told they actually aren’t going to hold what they said. They lied again. Even though we had an emailed receipt for the 2 cameras. They said they couldn’t give us the two cameras and still couldn’t cancel.

    Just overall horrible experience and I will never use ADT again. I have it marked on my calendar to cancel before they try to lock me into another year when my service runs out. They prey on people and are just overall the WORST when it comes to morale. I don’t recommend to anyone. Horrible business practice. My brother uses Vivint and I’ve seen his app and the service they provide. I recommend going with vivint over ADT. Plus vivint's app is more customizable and user friendly AND actually notifies you when people are in your driveway and you can do so much more and the business itself isn’t scummy.

    ADT’s alarm was the best ones for what we were looking for in alarm coverage at the time we got them and we’ve had it for at least five years now. We were looking for a low monitoring fee and we also wanted to have indoor monitoring. My experience has been fairly good. We've had some difficulties that resulted from how the alarm was mounted, but we were able to resolve those. ADT provides technical support when you call and they walk you through any difficulties that you might be having. After that, if it can't be resolved, then they send someone out, which we care for because you always pay more having someone come out. Having three doors and two windows monitored is our favorite feature, because we have a door in the back and we have two windows that are not in plain view when we're in the living room.

    We're on auto pay, and apparently, it was not working properly. I had to call ADT a couple of times because our account was showing a past due balance. They said it had to do with the day or the month that our payment was being processed. It was moderately difficult to get that fixed because I had to call them two or three times about it.

    We needed protection in our home. We got ADT and have been with them for two years now. When I call, they answer my questions and they've been there when I needed help. I really like the protection I have for my family and knowing we're safe. I like that I can see on the cameras what has gone on around my home. When ADT's online tools are working, they're a 5. But I’d give it about a 3.5. Sometimes you can't get it to pull up correctly and it doesn't show what I wanna see.
