I ordered ADT for my new home back in December 2025 because I was told it would include the installation of the alarm and a Google camera. Needless to say, I signed the contract, and I received the installation of the alarm, but they could not install the camera at the top of my move because I had no Internet service. When my Internet was installed, I called to have them come back out to install the camera. After three attempts, ranging from canceled appointment, bad weather, etc. and ADT Van came to the appointment, but due to drizzle, refused to install the camera.
When I became upset and called the corporate office, he then ask had I received the Camera in the mail, to which I replied no; I wasn’t aware that I was supposed to have the camera, as a month and a half had already passed and no one mentioned that a camera was supposed to be present; I thought the installer would bring the camera. He shared with me that they were supposed to send the camera weeks in advance before his scheduled appointment. Each time that I called ADT to complain to inquire, they promised me they would look into the situation and begged me not to cancel and to give them a chance to investigate, and they would get back with me.
In good faith, I agreed. The last straw was after three months of no camera; I called to cancel completely, at which time they begged me not to cancel. Because I insisted, they told me I would be on the hook for the full contract of 900-something dollars. It has been 30 days, and I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau, and now I have received a collections notice. I am going to fight this. If anyone has a class action suit or has experienced a similar situation with them, please contact me. It seems that ADT is fraudulent in their services and practices. I am warning everyone that I know to stay far away. They are in breach of contract and fair business practices.

We used to live in a different town in New Jersey. We're now in Pennsylvania and we had a separate security company handling ours. But we had a whole house security system. Every window and door was monitored. When we moved to this place in Pennsylvania, we wanted to replicate what we had before. ADT had the reputation, so we went with them. We've been with them for 10 years.
I've had trouble in the last month with our internet and it caused us cascading problems talking to the internet provider, and talking to the company that handles our extenders, and talking to ADT. Nothing was working. The systems were not communicating anymore. I had to get a computer expert to come to the house and they've straightened it out now. The last problem is the ADT system that is not pairing properly with the two different control panels. Also, I'm still having trouble with the monitor on the first floor and the monitor on the second floor. They're supposed to communicate to each other and we had trouble pairing it. We had the guy over to look at that and he fixed it. But now, we're getting error messages again. I had to call ADT about it three times and it escalated to the point where we had somebody come to the house. We're still having the same problem.
We had an alarm go off about carbon monoxide in the house and we were not home. ADT called the fire department and they broke into the house, damaged the door, and went around and opened all the windows. We had to get the door fixed after the fact. But that was a positive experience. The alarm system did what it was supposed to do. They were concerned that we were in the house and sleeping and wouldn't wake up.

I connected ADT in two addresses, and they told us they were gonna give us a $200 gift card. But they never sent it, and they never got back to me if they were gonna give it to me or not. Sometimes, I don't get to see my videos maybe because ADT didn't sit down and explain to me how to work the system, so it's been a little hard for me. They need to sit down with me and explain how to arm and disarm the system. I've been trying to figure it out by myself, but I'm very ignorant as far as technology because I never used it. I'm 71. Every time I call ADT, they tell me they're going to set me up with somebody but nobody ever calls me back. My house was broken into twice. Somebody was in my house while I walked in to turn off the alarm. ADT got responders out after 15, 20 minutes.

I am using ADT home security system from one year. I recently changed my WiFi so I need to reconnect my cameras. When I try to do it myself it’s very difficult to set up and I tried to call customer service. There is no response from the customer service. It take two days to get a virtual service appointment. And for in person consultant service they are charging $150.00 for 30 minutes. That’s too much. Very poor service from ADT. I recommend don’t take ADT home security system.

Horrible service. I've been with this company for 3 months and have given them so many chances, yet they remain to lie to me. The latest incident involved them charging me for a Tech visit I was told I would not have to pay, and I still have to pay this fee. They take advantage of low income people, and when I call customer service, they give me the runaround. Such a lack of professionalism. ADT failed to provide the monitoring service contracted, which constitutes a material breach of contract. Because the equipment is a complete mess and malfunctioned all the time. They told me it was my internet. The City I live in placed a mortgage on my house. Which means I have to cancel my service. I am not getting any answers on doing this. I owe 1 cent and I should be able to cancel only owing the 1 cent. Major life events happens. Please, never sign up for ADT service. They make things difficult.

Original Review: July 3, 2026
Customer Service is horrible. You can't reach a person without going through AI and multiple holds. Every call is a minimum of 40 minutes. And every representative transfers you to another department, even when you actually needed the department that representative was in. Every representative tells you something different. So, staff training is incomplete and not inclusive.
We sold our business a month ago. I've been trying to transfer the account to the new owner since then. I was originally told I would be charged a cancellation fee unless the new owner called first. The new owner called and was told I had to call first. So, we called together. They set up a new account for the new owner and scheduled an appointment for a tech to come to the store. But, I was told that I had to call back later to actually cancel my account. I called back on 07/03/26. After being on the phone for 43 minutes, transferred multiple times and several holds, I was informed that the cancellation department was closed and I need to call back on Monday.

I like the high level of protection and notification, and it is very affordable. High quality standards and performance are all that was installed in my home. When I have an issue or a complaint, all I do is make a phone call, and the technicians and the representatives are on it with a positive attitude, and full of wisdom and knowledge to assist me. When the system alerts me, it protects the home. As soon as it goes off, a representative from your company calls immediately. There's no hesitation. There's been time where there’d been a fault, nobody had been at home, and I come home, the police and the fire truck’s in my yard, thinking the house is on fire or break-in has occurred. You can't go wrong with ADT. I turned down many security systems and just went with ADT. People came to me and tried to get me to switch over with all these little tactics they used, but I said, “No, not at all.” Because ADT stands high. They make your safety the priority.

I have home security with ADT. I like that it's secure. It does what it's supposed to do. I turn it on in the evening, and when I leave, and turn it off in the morning, and it works well. I don't really worry much about my security because I live in a +55 neighborhood, and it's well protected. I have security because it was in my home when I bought the home. It was under a different company, and I changed it over to ADT two years ago. ADT has been around forever. It's a good company that one can depend on. So, I would recommend it. If people are going to use a security service, that would be one that would be really dependable.

I purchased my security camera directly from ADT, and it stopped working. When the technician came out, I was told I had to pay a $59 service fee just for them to inspect the camera. Are you kidding me? The camera is from ADT, the monitoring service is from ADT, and I still have to pay just to have their own equipment looked at? This is extremely disappointing customer service. I expected ADT to stand behind the products they sell and the service customers are already paying for. Stay away from ADT.

ADT has a neighborhood corporate discount in a new neighborhood that I moved into, and it’s been a year since I went with them. It has been a good experience, and you feel safer. The workers are experienced and love what they are doing. The customer service has been great. The package was okay, which is why I went for it. I was impressed with the installation because the technician went above and beyond by installing the camera in a very good place that is not reachable by hand, unless you have a ladder. I didn't even know why he was climbing up there. He found two garage remotes the builder had left in the attic. I was thinking about getting a garage remote, but the house already came with one, and they were never handed over to me. So, that was a big blessing.

Absolutely the worst experience, it is ridiculous that you can not pay off your contract and close account prior to a 30 day notice, especially when you already gave a 30 day notice over 30 days prior. The agent did not take notes and they are not honoring their policies. They can see the call records but are holding me to a contract I just want to pay off but can't for another 30 days. I sold my house and this is a ridiculous situation. They should be liable if the buyers back out now because of the ADT. I was told to call the day prior to closing and now I was transferred 9 times and have to wait to pay the final bill in August, ridiculous since I am selling the house now not in August.
Just absolute bs, I bought the equipment and this company is a nightmare to deal with, will never buy again and will tell everyone what a mess they are to deal with. This is a bad business and over the top controlling over a contract that just needs to be paid in full. Ignorant not to just take the damn payment at the time of cancelation request. Absolutely the rudest staff, was put on hold and transferred 9 times.

I went with ADT because Xfinity is trash. The equipment breaks down fast, and you have to buy your new equipment after the first time which costs too much. I have people that I work with who have ADT and it was pretty reasonable price-wise. It was easy to get as well. A representative came out to the house, walked me through the estimate and signed me up. They had me installed within an hour and a half, and everything's been working fine since. The tech was very knowledgeable and he did everything right. He explained it even though I worked in telecommunications before. We had a good time talking about different things we did with AT&T. He was real personable and very professional.
The system is awesome and easy to use. The camera is using Google Nest. Most of my stuff is ran through Google, and it works fine. We're living in the city of Chicago, where crime is a little rampant. The way that I set up through ADT is nice. They give me a call. We set the alarm off the other day, and we were called by the desk from ADT then I got a call from the police station. ADT is a great choice. I don't know how ADT pays their people though. The installers should get paid for the pieces they put together and get in the house. That'll make them happier. With the sales tech, ADT should give them a percentage of whatever they do. ADT is still gonna make money hand over foot, but that'll increase their sales people wanting to be at work and helping out.

ABSOLUTE WORST COMPANY! ADT and Safestreets completely screwed me over and left me with an astronomical bill after canceling service. We recently moved out of our house and I called ADT to cancel the service. ADT transferred me to Safestreets because apparently that’s who our contract is actually with. I was charged over $1,000 to get out of the contract, which I paid. I was never transferred back to ADT after cancelling my contract. The day I moved out of my house, Safestreets called me (mid-move no less) to tell me my ADT account is still open and active. The rep transferred me to an ADT rep, who after sharing the issue with him said to me, “what’s Safestreets?” I immediately hung up and finished my move.
I called ADT the next day and finally talked to someone somewhat competent who then told me they can’t cancel my account for another 30 days! Additionally, before deciding to cancel altogether, ADT tells me I should take all of my equipment with me from my home or I’ll be charged for new equipment if we use them in our next home. Meanwhile my realtor is telling me we shouldn’t be doing that because it’s always considered part of the sale of the house, unless specifically excluded from the sale, and then encouraged us NOT to exclude it since it is not a common practice. Which begs the question why would ADT ever require equipment be moved knowing full well it’s not a common practice? I will NEVER USE ADT AGAIN! I will also deter everyone I know from ever using them as well! We only had them for 6 months! Their business practices are criminal.

I'm shocked! In trying to cancel our service after 3 years it was extremely difficult and we likely got over-charged. They took our account access because the Forgot My Password does not work. Over 1 hour on the phone to get a one-time-only password sent. Trying the phone option to cancel your account leads to long hold time before they just hang up, you have to use the Billing option. Multiple managers trying to upsell you and offer better pricing to keep you as a customer. Then, they claim the equipment is a 5 year contract! I was told 2 years but they say that's only for the service, not the equipment.
Had to pay over $700 to cancel but it was worth it rather than paying for another 18mths and going through the rigorous cancelation policy again. They were very rude as to me canceling. I have no paperwork from them and cannot easily access my account online. They will NOT remove the equipment from my house. This is a predatory business. I advise others to avoid them at all costs!

I’ve been with ADT for 25 years now. They had to come out twice when the sensor went out. I also had them come out a few years ago when I got rid of my landline. But other than that, everything's been okay for the last 25 years. However, they get confused about their customers. They get confused about how long I've been with them. I don't think they're knowledgeable at all on who they're talking to or how long the customer has been there. If I talk to them today, they’re gonna think I just started with them yesterday. So, that’s just who they are. They get confused. But that’s what I call longevity. Longevity should want some respect. I don't feel like I get that ‘cause they don't know what year I joined them. They don't know how long I’ve been with them. But I like ADT. I was a truck driver. I just retired. So, I was only home four days a month.

I can see the ADT signs a lot when I'm going through neighborhoods. So, a lot of people depend and rely on them it seems. I have them for a couple of years and I don't have any complaint at all. I have four cameras and I use the key fob all the time rather than the screen on the wall. I like the fact that if I forget to do that, I can look at my phone to see if I set the alarm. And if I did not, then I could set it. When I had a caregiver here, I would leave her here so she could get her hours and finish her work, then she would call me when she was gone and I would set the alarm remotely. Also, we also had an accident when my son was here. He had the key fob and somehow he set the panic alarm and we didn't know how to turn it off. Then I got the phone call asking if I was okay. I told them I was fine and that it was just my guest.

The service has been fine. I've been happy with the coverage. I can isolate a certain area so that I know if anyone comes in that way. It just gives me a sense of security. I like the key fob, where I can activate it as I leave the house from the outside and on my phone. When the alarm was set off by a mobile device that I had with a breeze coming through and I wasn't home, ADT took the steps necessary to contact me and we canceled it before the police were called. So they've been very helpful that way. Get ADT. It's well worth the money for security.

I inherited my security system when I bought my house 27 years ago. It was already installed, and I thought, maybe this is a good thing to continue on with, as it is already installed. All I needed to do was to have the service transferred into my name, and figure out how to use it. Luckily for me, the system doesn't break down very often, but when it does, get ready for the fight of your life getting customer service to "make you whole again". Just getting to speak to a customer service representative is a battle. There is an AI system that precludes you from speaking to a human until you are exhausted, frustrated and pissed off!! Once you get to speak to a representative, I hope you can interpret broken English well. I have no idea where in the world these service representative reside, but they are not in the United States.
If I had it to do all over again, I would just ignore the fact that the system was installed, and rip it out when I repainted my house. Like I mentioned before, I have had my system in my house for 27 years. When I get very upset they do have a "Longevity Department" that will kiss you and tell you that everything will be fine. Just don't expect much! I am currently experiencing a sensor failure, and awaiting a field technician to come and fix the issue. You'd think I had asked for free silver and gold... Jeez, how much do they pay these guys? If you can get out of doing business with this company, I am certain that you will be better off in the 'long run'. Do it now before it gets too late!

As an ADT Home Security customer for nearly two years, I wanted to share my personal experience in hopes that it helps others understand what I’ve encountered. I entered into two separate five-year agreements with ADT Home Security: one for my home security monitoring service and a separate retail installment agreement for my home security equipment. At this time, both agreements still have nearly three years remaining on their original terms. About a year ago, I filed my active Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Approximately six months ago, the outstanding balance for my home security equipment was added to my Chapter 13 case, and ADT was listed as an unsecured creditor for that equipment balance.
My understanding is that ADT received notice of my Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and I have never been told otherwise. From that point forward, my experience has been that the billing and collection efforts related to the equipment balance have never stopped. From the time ADT was added as an unsecured creditor through today, I continue to receive bills, invoices, and other communications regarding the equipment balance while trying to understand how that balance is being handled. From the beginning, I made it clear that I wanted to continue my ADT Home Security monitoring service. That has never been the issue for me. Throughout this entire process, my monitoring payments have remained current.
Over the following months, I repeatedly received communications stating that ADT’s bankruptcy department was reviewing my account. I documented everything and continued asking questions because I genuinely wanted to understand what was happening. During those communications, ADT’s attorney identified that there were two separate contracts at issue: a service contract for monitoring and a separate retail installment contract for the equipment. That confirmed my understanding of how my account had been established and reinforced why my questions continued to focus on the equipment balance. During this same period, I lost access to my ADT mobile app and my online ADT billing portal. No one explained why those services became unavailable, which only added to my confusion as I tried to understand the status of my account.
After months of communication, I was eventually told that the reason ADT did not dispute my Chapter 13 bankruptcy was because my account was current when the bankruptcy was filed. From my perspective, that explanation raised even more questions because there was still an outstanding equipment balance of nearly $3,000 prior to the filing of my Chapter 13 case. I continued asking questions because I wanted to understand the basis for what I was being told, but my questions were have not been answered. As the discussions continued, I was presented with a proposal that, as I understood it, would waive the remaining equipment balance if I agreed to enter into a new 60-month monitoring agreement, however, I was not shown the new 60-month contract when the agreement was offered. My understanding was that this new agreement would have to be entered into outside of my active Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan.
From my perspective, this was difficult to understand because I already have an existing five-year monitoring agreement with nearly three years remaining. Before considering that proposal, I wanted the opportunity to review the actual agreement, not simply a summary of it. Several weeks have now passed, and despite requesting the proposed agreement for review, I still have not received the actual new proposed 60-month monitoring contract.
Around this same time, ADT stopped automatically drafting my monthly monitoring payment from my bank account. Because I wanted to keep my monitoring service current, I manually submitted the payment myself. Despite doing so, I later received another notice stating that my account was more than four months past due and warning of a possible interruption of monitored security service. This is especially confusing because my monitoring payments have remained current throughout this process, and I have consistently communicated my desire to continue my monitoring service.
Looking back over the past several months, what has been most frustrating has not simply been the account itself. It has been the overall customer experience. I have documented everything, asked respectful questions, and genuinely tried to understand what was happening. Instead, I often feel like I am piecing together information from emails, billing notices, account access issues, and ongoing communications while continuing to seek answers to the same questions, yet my questions remain unanswered. My hope in sharing my experience is to provide other consumers with insight into what I have experienced and to encourage anyone facing a similar situation to document everything, keep copies of all communications, and ask questions until they understand what is happening with their account.

ADT’s customer service is sometimes very difficult. There was only one time that I was able to get someone to come to the house and check things out. I had a water leak in my ceiling, and nothing was working. One particular sensor was not working, so that made everything else not work. I get this bad message, so somebody had to come out and check everything out. They said how much it was gonna cost and I told them I just wanted it fixed. I live alone, I'm handicapped and I cannot do this by myself.
When the battery on the sensor that detects carbon monoxide, smoke and everything in the main room went out, it needed to be replaced. I can buy batteries but I cannot do it. If it weren't for the kindness of my neighbors, none of that would get done for me. I'm very disappointed that ADT is not willing to help handicapped persons in doing their thing and work with me. My equipment with ADT has not been upgraded but I'm being billed for two different items. It comes up a lot. I'm paying about $77 a month and I need to call ADT and find out what they can do.

When I bought my house, I had a different security company installed but my alarms went off one day, and I'm still waiting for them to call me to tell me my front door went off. So after they didn't call me the next day, I canceled it and I went with ADT. My house is secure when I'm not home, which is a good thing. One time, it alarmed because my kitchen window must have moved from the wind. I asked that I could just open it enough to have air in there and I'm not home. ADT called me right away. I'm very happy with ADT. I have no problems with it at all. I contacted ADT once when I had a dead battery and it was fine. It was easy. Go with ADT.

I like the digital panel because it's easy to work with, and the integration of the video camera that came with it, along with all the wireless sensors. I would recommend ADT.

My experience with ADT has been good in the 2 years that I've had them. However, sometimes it's hard to get the right person that can tell you what to do. If I have to change the battery at night, I have a hard time. There had also been one time that it kept throwing off alarms, and it just called them. Apparently, the person didn't get to put it in the test mode. But most of the time, they're really good. You get the right person that tells you what to do, and it all goes smooth.

My signing up for ADT dates back to Roanoke, Virginia, since 1993. I lived in Roanoke, Virginia, from 1993 to 2004. I moved up to Delaware. Then I signed up again with ADT in Delaware from 2004 to 2012. And then I moved here in Greensboro. I've been with ADT most of my adult life because I had heard so much about the service. And the fact that they’re 24 hours, seven days a week, and they’re quick to respond, even with an error. I like the response about not sending the police out there. The first time that there's a response, they give me time to cut off the alarm or notify me that somebody's at the house or whatever the case may be.
And sometimes, it could be my children or a relative. And they'll call me, and I'll respond as quickly as I can. Then they’ll say, “I forgot the code.” I’ll tell them, and they’ll punch it in. And everything is okay. I haven't had any issues with ADT. Just the fact that I had to replace a battery. And even the battery here, and even in Delaware, I didn't have to replace the battery after 10 years. So, I don't understand why I had the battery run low at this time. I replaced it last year. And that was the only disappointment that I've experienced with ADT. The cost is convenient for me. It's good for me, ‘cause I don't have anything really high-tech. I have basic alarm because I'm home all the time, most of the time. And if I go away, a relative will come in and check on things. However, ADT hasn't given me a break for being a loyal servant for over 30 years.

We were not to be charged due to the agreement that was made, which is on our acct and we have saved in email. With that being said they took $1000 out of our account, which they were not suppose to. When we saw this we were on vacation, now with very little money. My husband called adt just as soon as we saw this. The specialist he spoke with said yes, this is our mistake I can see the agreement and he was processing the refund. Call on Thursday 6.25.26. The refund was never started. Talked with Isaac that day. He told us he would process the refund for 616.00 because my husband agreed to pay 322 for the first payment.
Called Friday 6.26.26. Spoke with Isele and she said a refund of 459 was in the process due to July bill of 157 coming out of the refund. We were very upset putting it nicely. She put in a refund request for 552 and states no payment until August. We should of received a refund for the entire amount but my husband was nice and agreed to just 616 which we should of gotten on that Wednesday the 24th. Being that was never processed now we had to wait until 3 days from when we called on Thursday the 25th and being the wrong amount was getting refunded, when we called on the 26th now we are waiting until July 1 before we may see anything. This is very unacceptable and bad business. We should of just went with the other company and been done with it.

We had ADT in California, and we transferred it here when we moved. We've had two issues where the alarms have gone off, and we've had to call the alarm guy out to come fix the panel on the wall and fix the sensors on the windows. But right now, we just have an alarm malfunction. It was easy communicating with the rep and getting the repairman to the house. But it was a little more complicated to get the problem fixed. It took multiple visits.
We’ve been here since 2001, so things begin to wear out and break down, and that's just normal. The techs put in new batteries, but the next day the batteries didn't work, and they had to come back out and replace them again. I trust ADT to provide reliable batteries, but they buy them from another company. If the batteries are coming from the wholesaler that way, it's a long chain of failures. It's not just ADT. It is an established company, as opposed to using some of these companies that are locally owned and locally operated, and of variable reliability. ADT provides security for me.
Thank you for your feedback and continued trust in ADT over the years. We strive to provide reliable service, so it's disappointing to hear about the issues you've faced with the alarms and batteries.

I’ve been with ADT for a year now. We bought the house a year ago. And as part of a co-marketing thing with the home inspection company, ADT had an offer and contact; we were able to get in touch with them. I had positive conversations with the person I spoke with at ADT. He didn't try to sell me more than what we needed. He reached out to me a second time to let me know about the things moving forward and what to expect in terms of getting the agreement in the email.
We had to wait a little bit for the installation, though. And it was busy season, and I get it. But the person who came here to do the installation was very helpful, very friendly, and amicable. That was also a positive experience. It wasn't long after they put that into service, I came home and I was concerned about the dog. I forgot about the alarm. And it went off. I tried to clear it through the text message. It didn't work. My wife tried to clear it through the text message; it didn't work. And eventually, someone called; no police came. Everything was fine. This was the first time we used this technology; it didn't work. If they are going to roll something like that out, they need to make sure it works.
The billing works well. They send a note saying, "Your bill is queued up." They send a note when the bill is actually processed. I'm grateful for those things. When we've had people call us, for example, a smoke alarm went off, the calls come very quickly, and people are professional. In general, it's been a good experience. The only concern I have is they're saying now they're making updates to their app, and I use the app to control the alarm at times. It works pretty well. But after the last technology update they did, when things didn't work so well, I'm a little bit hesitant and cautious. I hope when they roll that out, it works well. When a new technology comes out, it needs to work. That incident we had back in February was very disconcerting, left a bad taste in my mouth because it didn't work. And it was avoidable if the technology worked.

ADT has been good. I've been their customer for many years and I have not had a problem with them so far. I had somebody come out six to eight years ago and talked about upgrading, but we decided that what I've got is fine for me. So I didn't need to upgrade. Also, every time some of their reps come, they'd say it's an old system, but it's a good and reliable one. So I'm satisfied with it. When I upgrade, it costs more money and I don't want to do that.
One night, there was a fire alarm when something was overheating on the stove. They called and asked me if everything was okay. Thankfully, I haven't had any break-ins or fires. I had a break-in right before I got ADT and that was the main reason I got their service.

My question was, why are we setting the alarm if the sensors aren’t working??? Even if the alarm is armed, it’s not got to go off if the sensors aren’t working. She agreed!!! I was in disbelief that I literally wasted my entire evening. The only thing ADT offers is a false sense of security. This company is an absolute joke.

I have used ADT in two homes now. After moving out of the first, we discovered some cancellation fee issues so we transferred to our new home. In our new-to-us home, the previous elderly couple had used ADT, but the equipment was nearly twenty years old. When an ADT tech came to install new equipment, I asked they remove the old one. It beeped at random times throughout the day and night. They said they could not. So, I called their support line. After many long conversations (30+ minutes each call) with ADT about this issue, I finally spoke with someone who told me it would be best to unplug the transformer and let all the batteries die, essentially.
The transformer is dangling on the ground, held together by exposed wiring in my 1 year old’s room. When I noted this and asked that they come remove it, I was told it was not something they could do because it was technically under the previous homeowner’s account, and they asked that I hire a third-party electrician remove it. I said I would happily, but they needed to pay due to their system failure. They would not even entertain the idea and encouraged me to call their previous owners for the payment or pay ourselves. The wires would not be exposed if their system hadn’t failed, yet they essentially explained that it wasn’t their responsibility anymore. ADT is not worthwhile when factoring contracts, hidden costs, cancellation fees and zero customer support.

The one we do all the time is the smoke in the kitchen when my wife cooks. But other than that, I have the water ones, I have the windows, I have everything. The water one had only gone off once when I knocked something on it. But when I called them, they fixed it right away when I told them it had happened. And every time the kitchen has gone off, I tell them that, if it's around dinner time, don't worry about it. But they have responded quickly and given us a call even before I've gotten to call them. I've been very pleased. They've been very helpful and very speedy with everything. I've really been happy with ADT.

I spoke to an ADT representative who was good but with the installer who came out, it wasn't a good visit at all. When they transferred my services from AT&T to ADT, there were supposed to be two cameras, one on the front and one on the back. When the installer came in, he refused to put them up that day and I had to call back in to make another request. About a week later, they came out and they did one camera in the back but they didn't do it in the front. Until now, this has not been resolved. Other than that, I have ADT for about six years and the service has been fine. I'm also satisfied with the price. I have the doorbell camera, and the one on the back that's connected to the light switch. The system goes offline sometimes, then when I call in, I have to reboot the tower that's in the home for it.

My experience with ADT has been extremely disappointing. The customer service is poor, response times are slow, and getting issues resolved has been a constant struggle. I have spent far too much time following up on problems that should have been handled quickly and professionally. For the amount customers pay, the level of service is unacceptable. I expected reliability, communication, and support, but ADT failed to deliver. I would not recommend ADT to anyone looking for dependable security service.

I've been with ADT for two years. There was a gal here. It went too fast. I didn't grasp it as well as I wished I could have. When there's an issue with the system, I panic because I don't know what to do with it. I'm not very good at this electronic crap. I've had a few incidents where I forgot to shut the system down, and I opened my doors because I've had service people and kids here. I would forget about the darn alarm system, and the doors opened, and alarms went off. Other than the silly things, I've been doing okay.
I always have power outages here, and I don't know why. I can go away or stay home, and I could get home, or at some point, the digital clocks are blinking. I don't know why I have this problem. At one point, the last couple of weeks ago, it did something to my system. A lady was on the phone with me, and I was ready to hang up on her because I didn't know what to do. She tried to tell me what to do on the phone, and I didn't get it. I was getting irritated with myself.
The next morning, I went to open my door up, and the system talked to me. All that day before, it was in a void thing. The lady couldn't help me over the phone. It has been okay ever since. She just said, "If you got problems, you'll have to call or see if we can walk you through it again." I said to her, "Good luck on that one." Otherwise, everything is okay. I'm happy with it. It makes me feel more secure here, because had a situation with an elder man down a couple of miles from me who keeps coming on my property. The system is beneficial for that kinds of situation.

We had ADT in our old house, and wanted it here. My husband talked very highly of the gentleman who helped us with the move. He helped set up the water feature for the sump pump. We were still in Florida at the time, so everything was handled over the phone and through emails. He said the representative did a wonderful job, was very helpful and did everything just like he said he was going to. The person who installed everything was excellent.
We’ve been with ADT for 35 years and they have always made us feel warm and cozy. My daughter lives with us and stays here when we go to Florida for four months. When we leave, we set the alarm. So, we feel better that she can come into a safe home. We have the alarms on the doors and the motion sensors. We like the comfort of knowing that there's somebody there who would help out in an emergency. We haven’t had to use ADT's service here, but we used it in the old house. The first time, the power went off and we didn't know we were supposed to let ADT know. We had two policemen at our front door who wanted to make sure everything was okay. So, from then on, we knew that we needed to let ADT know when our power went off. We then installed a full-house generator. This new house does not have one yet, but we are looking into getting a full-house generator.
I called ADT because I needed a corrected certificate. At first, I got the AI system, and it sent me the same certificate that didn't have the water coverage marked. So, I called back and asked to speak with a person. She looked up our account, said she would make the correction, and told me it would take 20 minutes to send out a new certificate. She was very helpful. The AI system is new. But when you speak to a person, we've always been very happy. The mobile app works great for turning the alarm on and off. But when we tried to go to MyADT to print off the certificate, it was a little bit more challenging for both of us. We couldn't find where we were supposed to go, and for some odd reason, it has my husband's email and my phone number. But now we know that's what it is and we're okay with it.

I didn't know much about the neighborhood, and I had to have protection as part of my insurance agreement and buying a new home. I signed up with ADT and I've been using them for about 10 years now.

You can only see the feet first when they come to the door. You can see the car when it pulls back up, but you can't see anything else. I've had to install Ring doorbell cameras for that purpose.
Out in my front, two windows are not covered. Anybody could just open up two windows and come in. They don't have sensors on them. I didn't know it because I never really opened those windows. But I had to open them another day ‘cause I was doing spring cleaning, and I realized that the windows didn't have none of them. Additionally, in the last year or so, I supposedly have been having a rebate on this, but I'm not satisfied.

I had a service call for a technician to repair or replace my panel monitor. Appointment was for 8-9 a.m. I get a call that service person is on the way, but that he has to go to the office for parts first. That was the first clue that my service call would not go well. I was told the service man would arrive after 9 a.m. At 9:28 service man calls me and says he is on the way. At 10:30 no one is here. I am on a call to ADT about the delayed arrival. Then the service guy shows up. He inspects the panel. I tell him ADT already tried to reset it remotely. He still tries to reset it without success of course. He then says the fix will require the ADT system which is down. My thought was why would ADT send a service person out knowing the system was down? It was a waste of 2 1/2 hours of my time and disrupted the plans I had for the morning. It also wasted the service man's time, and gas to drive around just to tell people the system is down.
ADT should have had someone call customers to reschedule due to their system issues. My new appointment is 6 days away with a wider window of 8-12 which means someone will arrive around 2 pm! Customer Service person sounded as if they were in another country. This is the state of customer service in the United States. Also a ADT AI digital assistant handled my call initially.

I got a call from ADT when there was a false alarm while I was out in Colorado at the top of a mountain. I had not firmly closed the door into my garage and somehow, it worked its way open. ADT also called my secondary to follow-up. But there was no problem. So, my daughter went over, found that the door was open, closed the door, and everything was fine.
I've had ADT for 10 years at least, and things have been fine with them, though I do not completely understand the system. For instance, I've had a red light on the board for months, but it seems to do what I say when I put the alarm on when I leave the house. So even if I'm out in Colorado now and there's a red light on the board, I don't feel uncomfortable and I still think that the house is protected. I've also had a failure on the board, but that turned out to be a low battery in one of the units that monitor any window breakage or sound. It just needed a new battery and when I finally found which one it was, at least, somebody talked me through the process of changing the battery.

Shortly after I signed up and had the system installed the cameras stopped working. I contacted customer support and was that my internet provider was not compatible with ADT. I asked if I could cancel and was told no since I signed the contract for 5 years.
Five years later after my contract expired, I wrote and emailed them to not renew my contract with a new bill sent each month. Today I called them after an AI representative and a live person wasting my time I was sent to a third person. After telling her why I am cancelling my service the rep said now ADT is compatible with my internet. My question was why did ADT not tell me about a fix for my issues after almost five years of partial service. After again reading her script she agreed to end my service. She ended the conversation by saying that I needed to pay a final bill of $124.34 since they provided service. I told her that ADT was not hooked up to my system and that I contacted ADT several times including in writing; her response was I can not find your letter and I must pay the final bill.

There was a breach in May 2026 of personal information. I was not notified by email or mailed a letter. I did call to cancel and possibly negotiate terms of cancellation contract since my information was leaked and I just don’t feel safe staying on with ADT anymore because of that. All the corporate manager kept saying was “well we secured it as soon as it happened and we checked to make sure no sensitive personal information was breached”. Okay, that’s fine but my information is still out there, I received threatening scamming emails, notification that my ssn was breached to where my credit was at risk, they still did not care and penalized me for wanting to cancel. We should be able to negotiate our terms due to this breach but said I would t be able to speak to anyone else except her. Ridiculous. Charged me over $2k to cancel. I wasn’t being a “Karen” as some may think, I was very calm but frustrated of course.
Don’t go with them at all. There’s other better companies out there. Especially signing up through their 3rd party companies where they charge you separately for the equipment and make you get more than what you need. Their Sales people are jokes and just want to make a quick buck. I know all experiences are different, but mine has not been great and wish they would be more willing to work with people. I did sign initially because I’ve heard great things about adt, but at the end of the day they’re just another big company that wants money, that won’t let you leave when you’re not satisfied with their service and just want you to keep paying.

In August 2025, I notified ADT that I was moving from where I was receiving services at my home in Sacramento, CA. At that time, in order to cancel my service, I would have to pay a $250 cancellation fee but I only owed $141 on my equipment - I told the representative I would just continue to pay my monthly fee until the equipment was paid off but that we would not be taking ADT services with us to Colorado.
In April 2026, I received a bill for $153.68 which was for 4 months of ADT service. I spoke with rep and told them I was very frustrated because I am being billed for services that I am not using. I told them I had moved to a different state, the equipment was paid off and yet, I am still being billed for services that I am not utilizing. I paid the $153.68 to avoid continued relentless phone calls from ADT. I received NO LESS than 8 calls per day from various phone numbers that were not affiliated with ADT. They were all random numbers from several area codes as well. On that phone call in April 2026, I paid the $153.58 and told them I was not using the services and to close the account. I thought that was the end of it.
I recently received stmt dated 5/19/26 indicating I owe $38.42 - it's now $76.84. I called and spoke to 2 representatives and one of them apologized for the misunderstanding on ADT's end. He also stated that I would still be required to pay the $76.84. I responded with a question: why am I being billed for services that I am not receiving? The representative was silent for about 10 seconds and then stated that PER POLICY - if a customer does not explicitly state they want to cancel their policy, they will continue to be billed for services.
I responded that I spoke with representatives in August 2025 and then again in April 2026 and that we were not using services and they were no longer needed. I told the rep I am not paying for services I am not receiving and I notified them multiple times I am not using their services due to moving to a different state. I am seeking ADT to eliminate the balance owed as I am paying for services that I am not receiving and they were notified multiple times that I no longer were using their services.
I did file a grievance with Better Business Bureau today as well. I just called ADT to verify that they had - in fact - cancelled my service and they told me it had not been done so I ensured it was cancelled AGAIN. And now they are telling me that there is a cancellation fee of $109 and that I still owe the equipment charge of $45 which is the first I am hearing of this. This is my 2nd time as an ADT customer and I will not use them again nor will I recommend them. They are trying to make me pay for services that I have not used since last year. Very unethical.

We've used ADT for several years in several of our homes. In our most recent home of 9 years, we had a 2 acre property that had a front gated entrance and a back gated entrance. In addition, there were 9 gates total on the property. My main issue is with their ADT yard signs. They do not "wear" well in that the blue ADT part of the sign cracks and breaks easily due to weather, time, etc. I called to ask for replacement signs and I was told several times, no matter what, that they will only provide 2 signs per property, per year. I told ADT I would be happy to pay for additional signs for my large property. They were adamant that only 2 signs could be sent per property, per year, no matter the size and that other signs were not available for purchase. I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever heard.
ADT should base the signage availability on the size of the property. Two signs were not nearly adequate on my property AND they break/crack constantly!! I just sold my large property and moved to a new one. Signage is not an issue at my new home, but because I thought ADT was so ridiculous and inflexible about signage at my last home, I am NOT choosing them to alarm my new home. They need better customer service in that regard. They have lost a long time customer over a stupid issue.

ADT did not honor price quotes given by the retention department. Discovered our system was not connected and was not being monitored! Monthly charges kept escalating while first generation equipment was outdated. The "manager on the phone" during installation on 6/18/26 was extremely rude and condescending and demanded we sign a contract even though the previously quoted lower price was not on the contract. The contract he sent us didn't have our name on it...it was in the name of Sally Griffith at our address and she has never lived here nor do we know who she is. The tech here at our home was fantastic! She was the only good thing!!! He told her to leave without install. We have been with ADT for 18 years and we are now highly disappointed with their customer treatment and their system of "monitoring".

We've had the ADT system for 15 years and the only issue we've had was when the batteries go dead. We paid extra for the most expensive plan to cover batteries and the rep was not real helpful. Every time you call for batteries, they kind of question it, not knowing that you purchased a plan for batteries. But then, when you get to a different person, they go, "Oh, yeah. Absolutely." Then they send batteries without a problem.

Everybody in this area uses ADT. I know some people that use ADT as well, and they're pretty good. I signed up in February and they handled their business quickly. They were professional when the person came and installed it, and they were helpful and showed me how to maneuver the system. So far, so good. Compared to when I had a security system when I lived out of state over 20 years ago, the price is pretty good with the cost of living. I'm just wondering if ADT does senior discounts.

ADT has been responsive. I’ve been with them for 20 years now, and when I've needed services, they are prompt in providing those services. And their technicians are all very good. I had my system updated recently. I dealt with a representative and a technician, and the technician was excellent. He gave me a window of time when he'd be here. He updated me during that window to give me a more specific time and was personable and did a good job.
We had a false alarm just last weekend, which they called me on, and they were helpful and sent out security. I was able to interact with them with my Nest camera. I was not at home at the time, but we got it taken care of. My experience with them has all been positive, which is the reason why I've stayed with them and not entertained another security service. Their sales reps were also not overly aggressive, which I appreciate. They didn't try to oversell. I would recommend ADT to anyone who’s looking for a security provider.

ADT has been there 100%, no matter what happens. When I called them a couple of times, it was very easy. They told me how to change the battery, explained it technically how to do that, which was easy. Sometimes, the cameras have a loss in different areas. I don't know if it's just networking at times, but I know some cameras, with extreme cold, with the front door camera, I notice would go down a bit. But I work with it on the network and get it to go back up. The good thing is it always keeps recording, even if it goes offline. ADT is efficient.
There's a technician that I love. His name is Anthony, who installed everything for me. I have his number. If I needed some work done, I don't know if ADT would get him over here again. They did for me one time. I called up and gave me his numbers, and he came over and serviced my house. Everything has been working good. I love being notified about everything. It's easy to deal with. There's no thinking involved. It tells you where the battery is.

I've never had a problem with ADT. I love them. Thank God for the app's green dot saying, “This device” or, “Forget it” because it would always have mine and my husband's name. Now, it has my name with the green dot. That might have been something I did wrong, but in the past, I found iPhone with no name, and I always name it. And it's not just ADT's app, others, too, and other stuff with my phone.
When you slide somebody off, underneath, it would say "Trusted.” Does that mean they're still there and trusted? Because it would just say “iPhone,” and I never do that. I put my husband's name, my name and our phone. I never put that in there. There would be two of them, one of them is the Android. I don't have any of that in my house. My husband and I are retired. So, it's a little disturbing. I still haven't gotten to the bottom of it, but I will. They're super nice, and told me that the trusted takes them off when you slide off. It has my device with the green dot, and my name. Instead of Dawn's iPhone, it says “D iPhone,” and my phone number, and Nick is gone. I don't know how that changed. It's hard to talk to somebody. With the automated and AI, sometimes it's hard. They give the options, but those are note the ones I want. Other than that, I'm happy.
I get texts to go through the app and make sure everything's on the up and up. Also, I've had ADT come out a couple of times and upgrade. We got a new panel and sensors. The guy was excellent. He showed me the little trick. I didn't know it takes your picture when you set the alarm. He stood to the side and turned around as I put the code in. And he said, “Now, duck down to do it.” He showed me. I didn't even know. I never go through the whole thing. Now, I've been all through everything of my phone. He was wonderful.

This hard-to-believe review is primarily based on my experience with customer service, and secondarily about a reliability problem. On 5/19/2026 I ordered an ADT+ system--upgrading from an obsolete ADT Blue (originally an "InGrid" system). Digitally signed a contract. Payment via AMEX--posted. Next day called to ask whether I could add an additional sensor--I could but was told my order was cancelled! (Never understood why.) So I ordered the system again and was given a discount for the hassle. Original charge was refunded--great. So... several days later received a large box containing everything I ordered--great. Installed it myself. Within a few days received another large box containing a duplicate system! Also, was charged a SECOND monthly fee. So contacted ADT and they issued a return Fedex label, and I think "credited" the double monthly charge. Drove 10 miles to drop off the large box.
Started getting "broadband / wifi drop" error messages from base right after I installed the system. Two-three times a day lasting an hour+ each time. Contacted ADT. I tried everything to ensure that it wasn't a signal problem. Limited to 2.4 bandwidth, reset base, verified signal strength, etc. Was assigned a remote tech support person who VERIFIED base had/has a problem. Called to order a replacement. After several calls a replacement was ordered. (Note this was escalated to "management" who never contacted me). A week later I received a ADT BLUE base, not ADT+ base. Called again and they issued a return label, and ordered a new replacement base. A week later I received a Google Nest Hub. Not the ADT+ base.
Called again. Rep escalated to management and promised it would be resolved within 24-48 hours. Three days later I called again, and threatened to cancel service if not resolved. They issued a return Fedex label (I now have two bases that have to be returned). Yesterday received an "order" for the hopefully correct base, but no shipment info. It's now about ONE MONTH and still getting error messages 2-3 times a day. Don't trust system is working right since the base looses internet connectivity. (For what it's worth, the base also has a very "tinny" sound like something is internally loose.)
ADT management needs to look into this. ADT personnel are NOT performing as they should. My calls were recorded, I have at least 2 case numbers. I've spent HOURS on the phone and this is still not resolved. Once I receive the correct base I will have to reinstall all the sensors--a couple more hours of work. Never received an apology or an acknowledgement of the hours I have spent on this mess.

ADT reminds me of a good old mom-and-pop system, where they want to take care of what they got, and I'm one of what they got. We had the ADT system alarm here since I was a kid. I called the number on the thing. They gave me a quote over the phone. By the time the sales lady gave me the discount on it, I've been paying $30 a month. Between the $30 a month and the insurance, I'm getting house insurance and alarm for $214. I don't mind paying $30 for three years. Later on, I want to add some stuff to the alarm system. But I'm happy the way it is now. We got the newer electronic system at the house now.
State Farm gives you a discount if you have an alarm system with your house, which is good. When you get any burglar alarm, your insurance goes down, too. That's the advantage to having it with your homeowner’s insurance. It's like getting two for one. By the time the lady gave me the quote, I told her it was good enough for me.
I had to call ADT one time because my brother hired a lady to clean the house, and she threw out the ADT instruction manual. That was a month after we got the system in. They got me a book here in four days, and I hid it. I had one problem with the alarm at one point, and they did something at the office and re-pointed it, and it has been okay.

I tried just one other service, SimpliSafe, and after about a year, that got hacked into. So far, ADT has proven reliable. The person who installed my system did not show me how to use it and did not talk about how to use it. He just installed it. He did a great job installing it, but then he just left. It was a little odd. I didn't know a lot, so I would call ADT and they were great. They're very helpful. They walk me through things , and I'm not disappointed.
However, when I have an emergency, I expected them to be watching and to call me because I pay $50 a month for that service for them to be on top of things. When I did have an emergency a couple of times, it was totally on me to call them or to call the police. We had an intruder and a prowler. When we had an intruder, we had come home from shopping, and the door was open. I have no idea why ADT didn't notify us or respond. The alarm was on when we left.
The second time, we had something happen, and I called the police. I went through ADT, though. There's a button on my base that has a police shield on it. You can press that if you need help with the police, or if you have medical problems, you can press the medical part. I pressed the police thing, and nothing happened right away. I didn't know if it was working or not. So, it didn't really do anything. Anyway, they came.

I like that there are two apps. There's the Google Plus and there's the ADT Plus. I like that I can access them easily and see my cameras and what’s going on. My least favorite feature is probably the sensors. Now, I know everybody's different. I don't really like the sensors in my home, but I like to move around with people knowing exactly where I am all the time. When we first installed it, I would go out the door, and bells would go off. That bothered me because you're just alerting the neighborhood that you're going out the door. “Hey, everybody. I'm going out the door now.” I didn't think that was such a good idea.

I've had very good experience with ADT. I have the basics, and I have the front door and back door cameras. They're very expensive, but it's good. Whenever I call ADT, they would respond. I also have called them to come out to check on certain things, and they came right out. You have to pay extra for that. That's normal. But if I need someone to come out, they will send someone out.

I’ve been with ADT for two years now. The performance of the system has been excellent. It's been really pretty seamless. I'm not a real techie guy, and I seem to manage it fairly well. Even if there's a problem, I call the service people at all hours of the night. That little phone app, where you look right at the phone, the technician can look at it and walk you through. That's a great option. However, it’s a little pricey. But I could justify it because of the service and the reliability of the equipment. Now, if those two go down, I'll probably leave, because it is pricey in my mind. It's affordable, but it's on the higher side. But I've had a really good experience with them. It's been reliable.

At the time I bought ADT in my first home, they were offering a service with a two-year monitoring and free installation. I've had two other houses after that and since I had had them for 27 years, they didn't charge me to put my system in in the other two houses. I've added a few features in the latest house that I have to be able to access the garage through the app and a couple of Wi-Fi doors to be able to lock the doors.
I had an alarm go off, but not because of an intruder. We had a bad sensor. We were out of town and ADT called us and told us about it, but we knew it through our app. They were able to do a bypass on the front door until we were able to get home. I'd recommend ADT. They are very reliable and provides prompt service. It's a basic program and doesn't have all the frills and I could get all that, but I'm perfectly happy with what I want it to be, which is an alarm system.

We're out in the country and we wanted some added security. The system seems to work pretty good. I like being able to arm my doors and not alarm them. Although there was a false alarm one time, ADT was a little slow in contacting the sheriff's department. That was the only time we've ever had to really use them. ADT is pretty dependable.

ADT has caused more emotional damage to my family than not having a monitoring system. We had multiple (four) false alarms in the middle of the night, between 2am-4am. My kids cry if they know that I have turned the system on. After spending hours on the phone with ADT and trying to get some resolution, I was met with the scripted response of they have to come out for the same issue 3 times and determine it can't be fixed to get you out of contract. I had techs out each time to fix the issue, and it ranged from bad installation to faulty sensor. I was told that due to the inconvenience, they would waive the fee for a tech to come out and inspect. What they failed to mention, was there is also a Truck fee of a $100 each time a tech comes out, and that they did not waive.
My only option of resolution is to pay out the 75% of my remaining contract, which is 30 months. This company is manipulative and do not care. I spent hours on the phone, explaining to them the trauma of my kids being woken up in the middle of the night to an alarm and me canvassing the house with a fire arm; just to find out that a sensor faulted on a locked door or window. Customer service always promised they would follow up and escalate my situation; never once did they give me a call back.
This is a large corporation that has a contract you can't get out of and money back guarantees that are impossible to get. To get out of our contract or to qualify for their money back guarantee they require the local branch to determine that it is not fixable; which would then fall back on the local branch and that tech's responsibility. I would never again use ADT, even if they were the last option.

My son wanted me to have some security because he was moving out. I signed up with ADT and it's been great. Whenever I explained to them what I was looking for, they were very helpful. They recommended what I should have. Any time I have any questions, I can call or go online, and everything is always good. They also keep me abreast if things are changing. They respond quickly if the alarm goes off too. If they cannot get in touch with me or my other contact person, they go ahead and call the authorities, and they come out. I like that. The website is really easy to maneuver as well. I'm not a computer person, but it's easy to go through. I'd tell others to make the call with ADT and have someone come out and them through it, like they did with me.

I have my own ADT system, and when I tried to sign Mary Ann up, because she's elderly, trembles a lot, and she doesn't understand the phone system, I did it through my phone. As a result, it ended up being in my name. I was assured that it would change once the service person got over to her address. So, when we got there, the service guy installed everything that he could. However, he was not able to install the door lock because something was wrong with the hole and the door, and ADT's lock requires real straight pin to go through, and her door was like at a slight angle, and it didn't go through. So, he left everything there. Then I had ordered Mary Ann a fob because she is in a walker, and she had fallen. They said that they would order it.
The guy helping me sign Mary Ann up took all her information from her account, and ADT was building her account. She paid full price for all of her equipment. Apparently, the fob was mailed to her, according to their staff, but they put it in my name because the contract was in my name. The guy never changed it, even though I did tell him to change it. I'm assuming that it was returned to ADT because she lived in a secure building, and they were not going to put anything in her box other than her name, and my name was not in her box. So, she never got it. I called, and then I was trying to change everything. I talked to a supervisor, and they wanted me to cancel her account, and we started again, and they wanted her to do it. It was a mess. The reason why I ordered it myself was because she's not able t, but in the process of her trying to see whether she could do something about it, she disconnected me and never called me back.
Then I called back again, and I talked to the customer service person, and he said he was going to try to send it out again. I said, “Well, you have to put her name on it because it's not going to get to her if you send it to me. It just isn't. And the contract was for that address, not for mine, ‘cause I have my own. I have a fob in my house. So, you guys could not mail it to my house.” He said he was gonna try. To this day, she never got anything. So, now, we've moved her to assisted living. She's no longer at that condo, and I need to cancel her account. I sent a letter to Florida complaining because they wanted me to terminate her contract, and they gave me an email that they wanted a copy of her lease where she is at her new place before they would cancel it. It's just so much screwing up that I said, “Well, they're going to cancel me instead, and they're not going to cancel the right address, because it's under my name.”
I explained everything when I wrote a complaint to their main office in Florida. I wanted Mary Ann to get credit because she never got the fob, and now, she's not going to need it at her new place, and I also don't want ADT to continue billing her because she's not there. The experience with whoever I talked to at ADT was bad. I even threatened to cancel my own account, which I don't want to. My account is working fine. It is the process of trying to get Mary Ann on it, and then ADT never gave me credit for getting her on anyway. I am done with their customer service.

The main issue is that I have been paying for alarm monitoring services since 2023, which I have not received, and there is no record that my alarm was not operating as promised. This problem began after a 2023 system upgrade intended to ensure line monitoring. In early 2026, it was discovered that my monitoring had never been set up, a situation multiple representatives described as unprecedented. I have had alarm systems for over 35 years, and before 2022, Protection One provided my service.
In April 2026, a technician visited. It was found that, despite payment, the equipment had not been installed, and the required parts or services were now unavailable. The proposed solution was for me to spend $1500 to install smoke detectors so my system would function, which confused me. Two separate inquiries later confirmed my concerns. Based on that representation, I repeatedly reached out to ADT. I audited my account and determined that I have been paying for this monitoring the entire time since 2023. I reached out to ADT repeatedly after 3 broken promises and a supervisor promised to call me back, but it never happened.
Today, 1 actually called me. I was ultimately transferred to account management. 1 hr 30 min later Account management acknowledged the issues and offered an upgrade. I insisted that the question of charges for services I did not receive, starting in 2023, be resolved first. They indicated that ADT could not refund the fraudulently billed amount, then attempted to upsell me. When I insisted this was illegal, the representative told me to listen and began yelling. I have 38 hours documented detailing these unresolved concerns and illegal activity with ADT.
All of the above is well documented and confirmed by multiple phone calls. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. COMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON-EXISTENT. What kind of company tells you they cannot refund the money they acknowledged they stole from you?

I've been a loyal customer for over 14 years with no problems. When I called and tried to get help over the phone, talked to 2 tech guys who couldn't help at all. I was trying to change the wifi on the device to a different provider. I was on the phone for over 1.5 hours with no help. The only solution was up grade the system. Since you have all my information and can see what products I have.
Tech guy Emmanuel shows up @ 8:10am, he attempted to switch out old panel with new. By 10:30 Emmanuel called for back up Keshyna and he showed. Emmanuel didn't even have the right products on the truck to do the job properly. Keshyna had to leave which took 1.5 hours to go the products. I also asked about key fobs. Oh that's going to be $100. I said no when I got the first system 8 years ago ADT gave to us no charge. Call your supervisor and see what he says.
I then go and call the 1800 number and talked to Ron in account management explaining the situation and to find out my cameras I have aren't compatible with new systems. No one from ADT told me this when upgrading my system. ADT dropped the ball big time Ron said. He needed to make new work order and "I'm going to give the fob keys to you at no charge and refund the money." Ron also talked to Will Jon ** supervisor, saying, "We have to make this right, we dropped the ball and we don't want to lose them to a competitor." Will agreed to that, but asked about the cameras, we are not giving those for free. Ron said no. Now 11:30pm Keshyna was suppose to have all the product needed to complete the product. They continue to work. The panel is still not hooked up, you have 2 techs trying to figure it out. Now 12:45, Keshyna call his Supervisor. Will also asked them if they were finished with the job and he said no.
1pm now still trying to figure out panel. I asked very politely, how much longer is this going to take. Keshyna responded by oh we going to have to come back another day and finish. I said, "You have been here since 810 am and it's now 1pm and nothing is completed. You will finish the job. Business hours aren't over till 5pm." Keshyna then respond he doesn't have the product. I said, "Do you really need 2 people here. Emmanuel is watching you work. One goes gets the products and come back." Keshyna replied, "Let us work do our job." I said, "We have been letting you work since 8:10 am it's 1pm now."
I call back the 1 800 number and talked to account management Damitra, explained everything and she had to call my husband (I had to go to work) and handed the phone to them telling both techs that they need to finish the job and go get the product needed. We don't want her to leave a bad review. Of course Keshyna denied saying that he wasn't going to finish job today. Time goes by Keshyna left to go get the rest of the product. Took another 1.5 hours. Got back at 3:30pm. Still hooking the panel and testing the sensors/ fire alarm. Finally hooks up both cameras. They leave at 5pm. A 9 hour job with 2 guys who didn't know what they were doing.
Had to call back in the morning and talked to Ben and then the supervisor Adrian hey charged me for the key fobs didn't refund the $105 and charge $23 plus the $142. Was on the phone with ADT for over 1.5 hours. That got resolved for now, we will see when my July bill comes. I go outside to look at the camera ( see attached) it's ghetto rigged. Wires all hanging see the electrical wires. Obviously it wasn't done properly. Emmanuel hooked this up. My camera before no wires showing nice and neat. Just by looking at other outside cameras there are no wires in site. Very unprofessional job. Emmanuel clearly doesn't know what he's doing. Will also canceled 2 other jobs that Emmanuel had for the next day. Obviously there's a problem.
So for the 5th time in less then 24 hours I've called ADT. I talked to Danna and asked if she could put in the notes to send out a more experienced tech guy. I must wait a week now. A whole day wasted, glad my husband was off as well. Techs on phone couldn't solve the problem with wifi. I got sent techs that didn't know how to do a job. Took 9 hours on top of that. Getting charged for items that said I wasn't going to. Not getting refund the money I was supposed to and a charge that was out of no we're.
Unfortunately I'm stuck with a contract with you guys til 2029. I will never recommend your services to friends and family and will go with a different provider after the contract is up even if I've been with ADT for over 14 years. Hopefully this doesn't happen to other families/business. Please don't hire techs who don't know what there doing.

We moved into an apartment after selling our home and the sales rep obtained our information. They were to make sure the account was cancelled at the home but the sales rep apparently was under a lot of pressure to sell me in a portable equipment for the apartment with me asking thorough questions, one would I be able to opt out of the contract at any time due to the length of time we were staying in the apartment and it was definitely yes.

I guess I shouldn’t expect it and after $663 I rather pay that to get out of ADT for life and not never having to deal with ADT again… There are other systems in the space and I am surprised they allowed this sales person/create a brand that left a bad taste in my mouth… not even willing to discuss the contract.

I said no thanks and continued paying on the two year contract in order to keep my credit good, even though we were no longer receiving.
Now at the end of the two-year contract, I try to cancel automatic payments, and now I’m being told that I’m in a three-year contract. I said I want to cancel and they transfer me from person to person to person. The last person that came on told me to stop yelling at them, even though I was being extremely quiet in my voice. This last person continued to repeat to quit yelling at him, and therefore, I stated we’re not gonna do this narcissistic nonsense; to which he said hold on and placed me back on hold and after 40 minutes of being on the phone, I was sent all the way back to the very beginning prompts. There are plenty other security services. I highly recommend going with any of the other of them before choosing ADT as your security provider.

I've had no problems with ADT. It's been activated essentially when we go on vacation, or if we're going to be gone for several days. When batteries were down, they would come and take care of them. Or if there were any problems, I would get answers.
Thank you for sharing your experience with ADT. We're glad to hear that your installation has been reliable and that the battery replacements and assistance provided were satisfactory.

The world we're living in is demonic and evil. So you want to make sure your house is secured. I bought my house alone about seven years ago and I got ADT around the same time. So I've been with them for about seven years. Their service has been good, but they told me to buy this battery, so I bought with them and they overcharged me for it. Also, they never told me how to install it, so on top of the overcharging, I had to have them to come out because when I put the thing up, the shingle broke off. So, they charged almost $200 just for the guy to come out. But the guy that came out was really nice.
One time, they said that my alarm was going off and they dispatched the police to my house. I ended up coming out as well and I was pulling up as the police came out and I turned off the alarm. Other than that, when you have ADT, somebody won't break into your home. So, I've been satisfied with their service and their website is okay. But I really want to change from them because my bill is up to $700 right now. They don't give you any incentive for being with the company for so many years. After five years, they could at least give you some kind of incentive, but my bill hasn't come down.

I feel protected having ADT. When I go out, I arm my system, and when I come back in, I disarm it using the keypad. When I leave, I feel comfortable knowing I have my alarm system on. If it should go off, I'm protected. The police is going to get the alarm and somebody's going to come out if ADT doesn't call me to see what's going on here on my property. I like that when I have an issue and I call, I get somebody on the phone. They will respond right away. Whenever I had to have service calls, the people that I've engaged with were very courteous. The only negative I have with ADT is about three or four years ago, they were going up every year and I got a little aggravated with that, being a long-term customer. If I leave though, I get a great price for a year or two, but everybody goes sky high eventually.

We had a system with AT&T before, and we just weren't satisfied with it. Then we decided to make a change to ADT. A couple of our friends had ADT, and they seemed to be satisfied. I liked the fact that they could section off different parts of your house. They could activate different parts of your house. Now, it's helpful because we have security on all the doors. And my husband has a bit of dementia, so that's another safety factor for me.
We just came through a tornado outage for about three or four days. I fell in them, the thing that you put around your neck, and I couldn't get up. They're connected somehow, I believe. So I've been getting calls from them almost on a daily basis to see if our service is still out because they were getting some type of alarm in the office. But other than that, ADT called in to make sure that the battery was good, and what the problem was. We're good, and everything went well. They have a timely response. They did well at responding to any problem or any question that we had. When we’ve needed them, they have been there. I would recommend ADT to other people.

ADT is the greatest. We've been with them for about eight years, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I'm very happy with the price as well. However, the system is a little older. I would like to renew, but the cost of renewing is $658. I would love to go and change to a Ring camera or some type of outside surveillance. But the functionality of the system is great. We also have a sensor that we put up that doesn't detect the cats, but if something like a window would break, that will go off. Having ADT, our sense of security is much better. We had a window that was open and the screen blew out. The alarm went off, and the police responded. It was awesome. We also had an emergency, and they responded to the police. When it was time to change the battery in the mounted unit on the wall, they helped walk me through it. However, it wasn't working, so they sent someone out, and he showed me how to take care of it. He was very informative.

If I could put less stars I would. I don't even know how this company is still in business and how its rated so high. It has been a nightmare since day one. First the salesperson that came into our house scammed us and lied about the service we're getting, and even though my husband and I specifically asked about this being a contract, she said absolutely not and that we can cancel anytime. well... 6 months later, of hell, messed up sensors, bad quality installation we finally decided to cancel... yes, it was a contract. A THREE YEAR CONTRACT that she locked us in without our consent. And to make it worse, we contacted customer service, who btw, are terrible and everyone is clueless and hold times are so long, they refused to cancel us saying its in the "thin print".
Fast forward two and half years with a completely pointless bill that did nothing but add annoying maintenance, we moved and contacted them to cancel, and PAYOUT what was left of our contract cash, they took the rest of the amount $400 which fulfilled the contract. This was June 2025, we are in June 2026 and they are STILL charging us. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVICE, JUST REOCCURING MONTHLY BILL. We have spent an immense amount of time and energy trying to cancel but everyone is transferring us to the next, telling us we're looking into it, promising call backs that never got returned and here we are, a year later and still on hold.

As a once loyal customer of ADT, I am really disappointed in ADT. First serious issue with ADT which they admitted it was their fault later down the road, I moved locations for military obligations like I usually do and the ADT rep terminated my services vs transferring my services which caused me to pay for my equipment and remaining balance of the contract. I disputed it but by time it got escalated to corporate it was sent to collections without any acknowledgement. Every conversation I had with a different rep was different.
The last conversation was I was right I didn't owe anything because the services should have been transferred by that time it hit my credit...Next issue, I cancel my services and the next day $800 was withdrawn out of my account, no bill explaining how that amount came about no warning saying "hey expect money to be drawn out of your account " nothing but waking up seeing $800 withdrawn from my account. The last rep told me I would be getting a bill to explain what I owe, so I asked why I couldn't get a bill explaining where you get the amount of $800 he preceded to pull a calculator over the phone lol....terrible.

DO NOT SIGN an ADT CONTRACT!!! It's a trap. It was a frustrating experience to be a ADT customer for a number of reasons:
- Countless false alarms at night when the system is not even armed due to low batteries or some mysterious environmental triggers and ADT has never provided any solution to prevent this. Good luck going to work and being productive after a night like that!
- Numerous fraudulent charges, which got resolved upon escalation but you have to catch the fraud and then waste your time on the phone trying to dispute.
BUT THE REAL NIGHTMARE BEGAN WHEN I TRIED TO CANCEL THE SERVICE. There are no cancelation instruction if you didn't purchase the service online. ADT agents give conflicting and misleading information or outright refuse to help or just ignore you and stop responding. ADT account management team that handles cancelations is unreachable.
Upon receiving my written notice of cancelation by mail, ADT refused to process it by imposing additional (and virtually impossible) condition never stated in the contract. For instance, ADT refused to process my written cancelation notice unless I call 800-238-2727, etx 6 EXACTLY 30 days before my contract expires. Guess what, I have already spent numerous hours calling that number before seeking help with the cancelation process and I have never, not never!, been able to reach a human. What this means is that even if you comply with the contract and submit your written notification on time, ADT will impose extraneous and impossible conditions to make it impossible for you to cancel. Do your research, there is a lot of info on reddit about how this company scams people. I wish I did my research when getting into a contract with this fraudulent company.

ADT's service has been mediocre and I wouldn't call it top shelf. For as long as I've been with them, I don't hear anything from them. I had a few issues that I called them out on, but it’s like I really don't exist to them. I want to upgrade my system and have some of the best services, like cameras around the house. I can afford it, but no one has reached out to me to try to even sell me anything like that. I just pay them a bill every month, but the service after the sale is not there.
At the end of the day, I just have basic alarm and the biggest benefit is having some sort of sense of security. In case someone breaks in, the alarm will set itself off, and someone will be notified. Also, when I had an emergency, their response was fairly timely, overall. But in the past, we had an issue and when my wife tried to work with them, she had to jump through a few hoops and loops to get the way she was going. All in all, I wouldn't recommend anyone to ADT and I’d advise friends and family members to search for something that's a little more competitive and upgraded.

ADT is part of our HOA package here in Retreat and because I'm part of the HOA, I’m not paying much other than just for the camera part. So, it's very reasonable for us. I like what I’m paying. If I am not in the HOA, I would still consider ADT. They have done what they said they would do. They provide security for alarms. I've had a couple of extra cameras added and one of the cameras went out. The techs came out and replaced it a couple of weeks ago. Other than that, the equipment is easy to use and we haven't had any false alarms. When I lived in Illinois, my neighbor had ADT, and he had a lot of false alarms, and that was not a happy experience. But it’s not so much ADT. It’s more the problems of the house.
I use the app very frequently and it does the things it's supposed to do. When I have to get in touch with ADT, it just takes a phone call and a little bit of wait time. But other than that, it’s not a problem. I would recommend others to adopt ADT if it’s available to them.

I'm trying to get the requirement to show that I have an alarm system. It somehow or another fell off my State Farm Insurance. ADT sent the certificate I requested, but my insurance company said they needed a signature on the end date at the bottom of the page. So, I’m supposed to get another letter stating that the system has been active since 2011. But I haven’t had any issues with ADT. My parents passed away and I’m living in the house now, and I still use ADT. I would accidentally open the door and forget I had the alarm on, and ADT would call and confirm that I was okay.
I learned that you can have the system set up to call your person of contact. When I go out of town, I can have it call my cousin or somebody local first or second. You can always designate that, or have it call the police first. When I go out of town, I usually say, "Call the police first." If I'm in town, I want them to call me first. But usually, it's me setting the alarm off. When I walk outside, I forget I have it on. One time, I had to get a new battery and the tech support walked me through how to install it. So, both tech support and customer service were both helpful. And the price is reasonable. The only thing is I need a new key fob because mine’s faded. I can’t tell what was what.

I am incredibly frustrated with ADT's cancellation process. I have been a loyal customer for 8 years and am completely out of contract. Despite this, I have been trying to cancel my service for over a month. First, I was told I could not cancel over chat or during my initial phone call. Instead, I was forced to schedule a phone appointment a week later just to speak with someone who could process it. During that scheduled call, I was informed that I have to wait another 30 days for the cancellation to take effect, meaning I am being charged for a service I do not want, especially after a service tech has been supposed to come out for over 2 months because my system has not been working properly. Making customers jump through hoops and enforcing a 30-day waiting period on a month-to-month, 8-year loyal customer is unacceptable. ADT makes it intentionally difficult to leave, and I cannot recommend a company that treats long-term customers this way.
