I had ADT give me a quote and their price was very high to replace an old system. So, I have another outfit that I'm looking at now. I have an older system and some of the cameras don't work as well as I'd like. So, I went ahead and put another company's cameras in myself. That's why I don't really need ADT as much as I used to. Also, like the other companies these days, ADT has fallen short on service.

I wanted to be secure because I'm a retired federal officer. I got ADT and I have used them for about 10 years now. Their service has been good. But some of my neighbors didn't like that I was watching them on my webcam. They felt unsecure and they were very uncomfortable. So they started calling the police on me. At the time, I was in some kind of apartment. But I moved and now I own my own house, so it's a little bit better.

When something goes wrong, I would call ADT and they would come and fix it. They're there to answer and the people that they've sent out have been nice and friendly. ADT is reliable and I'm satisfied with them.

The only reason I'm still with ADT is because they renewed my contract without telling me and somebody forged my signature on the contract. My control panel stopped working and I needed a new one so they came out and put a new one in. They told me it would be totally free but it was not and the installer signed my name on a three-year contract at that time. I reached out to them multiple times and they said they couldn't do anything about it. They just pretty much blew me off and didn't care. But as soon as my contract is up, I'm cancelling and getting rid of them all.

I have ADT for almost three years now and I'll be talking to them in the beginning of September about renewing. But it depends on what the price is because I have a very basic coverage. On the first three years, you're paying for the equipment and the service. So when I call them in September, if they tell me the price is around the same, then I know I'm not going to continue. If they tell me that it's a lot less a month now because the equipment's paid off, then I'll continue on. Other than that, I paid for this year in advance and we went through it pretty easily. There was no confusion and they've kept perfect track. So if you call them for something, they answer the phone and they answer your questions. I like that.

I've been using ADT for about 40 years in several different states and different cities, and they've always been there for me when I need them.

For my first 20 years with ADT, I was happy with the service. The price worked for me and everybody was super friendly. You get exactly what they promise. The system works every time and it's very prompt and easy to use. There was a time when I accidentally set my alarm off and the police were there in less than three minutes. It was an accident, but I was glad to see the response time. The problem came up when I moved because I found these other people that were willing to provide the same service for cheaper. Then somebody with ADT told me that I've been with them for 20 years and that they were gonna work something out with me. When the technician set up the system at my house, I specifically told him we were gonna be moving in a year. He said, "We'll put it here for now, and when you move, you have to pay $150 for us to come out and re-install it to your other place."
When we moved, I asked the technician, "Before we install this, I wanna make sure how much is this. What am I paying for?" He said, "Since you're an existing customer, you pay $150 and we set up all the things for your alarm and all the sensors of the doors and windows." Then, he scrolled through his tablet and we signed at the bottom. After I signed it, I got a bill later saying I owe $2,000 over five years for the installation fee and the equipment. When I called to make a complaint, they told me I signed the agreement. I'll honor that because I signed it without reading it and that's my fault but that man was deceitful. I'm gonna pay this off and once it's done, I've already found another company. I don't wanna deal with people that will lie to me in my own home.

The service has been alright. However, at one-time, we never could get the camera to work. We finally quit messing with it and I bought my own cameras and put them up. I started to cancel ADT two months ago because I needed to cut my budget and I kept seeing advertisements where people could get that cheaper than what I was getting. They brought the price way down on it, so I still got it. That was a good deal.

When we bought the place that had ADT, there were already old systems that were disconnected that were still there. We tried to get ADT to update but they said all they could do was update a couple of items, but not change all that other stuff out and we never could understand why. We told them we'd just put a whole new system in, but they wouldn't do that either. We've just dealt with it and paid for stuff that does not even work. We had them put in the Pulse system too but that doesn't work too. We got cameras there and they say it's all recording through the DVR recorder, but we can't view anything anymore on it. We begged them to lower the fee because so much stuff didn't work and they lowered it a little bit. Since we've got it down, all we have is if somebody opens the door and breaks in, the cops are called.
When you call customer service, you gotta try to get somebody that can speak English. They get to talking so fast in their foreign language that three-fourths of each word is wound up into each other. In the process of talking to them, they trick you to make you say a word and if you say that, that automatically starts you a whole new account, but they won't give you any upgrades. I would not recommend ADT to nobody.

The service has always been stellar and for the most part, the system has worked great. They had to come out and change something twice on the system. If it's any of the smaller problems that I've had, they've been able to talk me through how to reboot it. They've always been spot on. They're very appropriately reactive and, at times, proactive. Any time I call, they have their security protocol to make sure that nobody can just call up and say or do anything. I've had two burglaries within six days and I saw that the police came out. I'm currently away from my home and I can turn my system on and off from my phone if I have somebody go in the house. ADT does what they say at a price point that's reasonable. I would, without a doubt, recommend them as a company. They've been great for my money.

We had a very strong 80-mile-an-hour gust of wind that came up and blew a door that wasn't completely latched. When that door flew open, it set off the alarm and ADT called me right away. We were able to look on the inside of the house with the cameras and the local police was alerted. They came, did a check, closed and latched the door and everything was good. I like that there is no hassle with ADT and the system works. A lot of my neighbors have it. Some of my neighbors have other systems and the ones with ADT are very satisfied.

Our system went offline a couple different times but no one called. The 24-hour battery also died but no one called. One of our cameras went out but no one said anything. It was disturbing. We were paying ADT to monitor our house and we felt like nothing was being monitored. There was a city power outage at night. That's the most important time. That's when things are gonna happen because everyone knows power is out. But there was no call from ADT. Finally, I called a couple days later and asked what our system was saying. They said, "It now says you guys aren't online." No one thought about calling us. It was disappointing.
I work nights on some of the weekend. My wife and my child are here by themselves, and that was scary to know that on multiple occasions, the system wasn't being watched. I told them I wanted a call if there was something going on with my system. One guy I talked to said, "You gotta tell us that we need to call." This happened the first time but it happened again and never got a call.
Even when the panel got taken off the wall, still nobody called. They called a year and a half later seeing if I wanted to renew my contract. I asked, "What does my panel say?" The rep said, "It shows that it's not connected." I told them it had been that way for over two years. He said, "If it's still on the wall, we can do a panel check." I said, "I just told you, it hasn't been on the wall for over a year and a half." It was frustrating. For almost two years, we paid ADT but had another system in the house. We were paying ADT until the contract was up so we could get away from them.

When the alarm went off, my wife was in the garage talking to my daughter and didn't realize that it had gone off. She forgot the password and the police showed up. I remembered the password, told them and everything got taken care of. But I got a bill from the city for $273. Then they fined me for not having a permit to have an alarm. The lady said to me, "Let me send you something and we'll try and get the fee waived." I asked what would happen if it couldn't be waived. She told me I have to go back to ADT and try and get the fee waived. They put the alarm in over a year ago but nobody ever told me I needed a permit. Also, when my alarm goes off, I can't hear it. I told ADT that but they said it'd be another $250. They're charging me enough money a month and want more money. I feel like shutting my whole alarm off because I don't feel like I've been treated right. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of.

The system is out of date. We started using ADT more than 20 years ago and the central panel is somewhat falling apart. ADT gets the basic job done but pricewise, they're more expensive than some other options.

ADT sold me a system called Pulse. Using your phone, you could activate light switches in the house and turn the alarm on and off. It worked great for a short time but ever since, it's been spotty. Sometimes I can turn on one light, but I can't turn on the others. Sometimes all the lights are gone off the app on my phone. I've had them out multiple times to fix it and every time they come to try to fix it, they charge me but I've never gotten it back to where it was supposed to be. I've paid $4000 which is a lot of money to have them come, make me have the ability to turn on two or three lights and the alarm from the phone but it's never worked. I'm unhappy with it and I've told them so, but they can't seem to figure out why only half of it works at every time I go to look at it. It's very frustrating.
At one point, I had a number appearing on my keypad and it was for weeks. I didn't know what it was and couldn't get it cleared. I called them and they said my fire alarm was not working on one of the floors. They had to figure out which it was. Today my alarm went off when I went out because I took too long to get out the door. I called them and they said they didn't know my alarm went off. I'm concerned because what if it was a real alarm? They should at least know that it went off even if they didn't have to trigger a call to the police. It's unsettling. We don't test it regularly and it should be tested at least once a year by them as part of their service.

I heard of ADT back in the ‘80s and I had a system from them back then. I sold that house and bought another house back in ’09. There was an alarm system here, but there was no way I could get it set up, so I went with what I knew, which was ADT. I like having the system. All my doors are hooked up to it, even my garage door. Even though the house is locked, if somebody's trying to get into the garage, it'll set the alarm off and it'll tell me that it's the garage door. I've only had the system go off one time, and that was because of a smoke detector. I got a phone call asking if I needed fire assistance.
I arm the system when I leave and disarm it when I get home. I've never had a problem with the system, except with batteries going low on the door monitors. For that, I’d call ADT and ask them what type of battery I need to put into it. I very rarely interact with the agents, but the last time I called, I didn't have any trouble getting in contact with a representative.

We've had ADT for about two years because they were in the house when we moved in and it was convenient to use them.

Their phone app is pretty handy, especially if there's an issue. It shows up on the phone and it's nice. If one of my kids is going into the house, I can turn the alarm off for them and I don't have to be right there.

ADT's reps were very professional when they installed everything. But they did the border a little bit too far out because it ended up having people that walk past the sidewalk activate stuff. Other than that, we've had no problems with ADT. It's very easy to sit there and set everything. We have a very unique code and they've had that as the code the whole time. If a motion is detected, I'll sit there and go into the app to see what's going on outside. And normally, when the system is activated, there's a picture that's taken so you can go back to see exactly what activated it.

Our neighbors got burglarized and that made us want a security system. First off, we got some cameras from ADT, but then those didn't work. So we got other cameras and we've had some issues, so our cameras don't work all the time. We would call ADT about the issues and it has been pretty easy to connect with a person. Their agents have been great on the phone and they would always get us scheduled with a service call.
But lots of times, we just don't have cameras because we don't have time to mess with this. So we're paying for a service that we're not getting. And when we call, our system is set up through some Hik-Connect, which is weird. We want it all to be on ADT and we want it to be on our Pulse. We also want to be able to see the cameras, but we can't. So we have this whole separate system that’s Hik’s, and it's kind of annoying. And we're considering pulling our service and going to another company. I would also tell my friends to go with actual ADT, not an authorized dealer, because then they have you using third party stuff.

I went with ADT because they've been in business a long time and they have a good reputation that's built up on a long record. That was impressive to me. There are a lot of new companies coming into the home security market now and it calls into question how reliable they're gonna be over the long term. Plus, the way the service was described in terms of installation and support sounded good to me. I didn't wanna get involved in the installation myself because it seemed to me to be something people want to be done right the first time.
We're satisfied with our initial package. It's adequate for our needs, and so far, so good. The only trouble we've had was from the last service, the telephone call earlier this week, because the panel lost its WiFi connection and had to be rebooted. It took a while for me to troubleshoot it myself and that was not successful. I called the ADT service number and, once I got connected to somebody, it only took a few minutes to get that taken care of.

I got this thing called the battery replacement all the time, and when the main console needed to get switched off for the battery, they made me pay $40 for it.

When the guy came to make sure the system was working okay, he said everything that I had was outdated.

When we first got our home, I knew that we needed to get security and we went with ADT. I can access the system through my phone.

I called customer service once to get a certificate and another time to get estimates on possibly adding more equipment. And both times, the reps were very knowledgeable and were able to give me a lot of information. ADT is a great company to go with and I feel safe with it. I've been with them for two years and the experience has been good so far. However, the price has gone up. So I am looking to see about switching to someone local once our contract ends.

We took the patio door off and put the new one in, but it wasn't the exact size. We couldn’t get it to work. We went to the system and they told us how to take care of it. So, it was not a big deal. We’ve had ADT for 13 years and they keep wanting us to update but we told them no.
Thank you for the 5 star review and positive feedback!

I have ADT for years and of recent times, my system is requiring more Tech Support than ever before. I paid a few months ago for window sensors, WAN fault, low batter fault (all noted on keypad) and this week, I have the same issues. The sad part is that ADT wants me to pay for the same services I already paid for. If the Tech had properly addressed issues a few months ago, my system should not have the same faults today. I am now having to call ADT to be told that the system will be annotated but call back tomorrow to talk about a new appointment. Unacceptable!

When a lot of people see the ADT sign in your yard, they recognize the name that there’s a security system. But I don’t like that the alarm goes off in my house while I’m asleep and I can’t even hear it. It’s not loud enough. I’ve called ADT several times and asked them about that. And my battery ran down. They said they’ll have somebody call me but no one did. It was about a couple of months ago. Their customer service is crappy. They never call you back when you call in.

While the in-home ADT SECURITY SYSTEM is great addition, unfortunately contacting/speaking with an ADT REP to schedule an appointment is horrifying. No other word describes the experience; not only long hold time to get live person online, once you reach the REP & attempt to request an in-home appointment (I'm 85 & not able to climb a ladder to change batteries or smoke detector batteries, not able to physically manage a lot of alarm components so always request an in-home appointment).
The REP then insists on having you stand at the wall-mounted alarm panel & enter/reenter/enter/renter codes/bypass/look at zones, etc. When all you want is an appointment. Spent 25 min on phone 7/16/2024 in attempt to schedule appt; finally the REP scheduled; when a customer requests in-home appointment, it should be scheduled. No questions ask. I'm paying for their service. The TECHS that visit are most always courteous, professional & competent & answer questions/demonstrate how too, etc. Appreciate the TECHS, but NOT the Call center process or the REPS.

When we first got the ADT system, we had trouble with it because the first installer put the cameras where he thought they should go and he put them at an odd angle. So, we couldn't really tell. Plus, the quality of the pictures from the cameras were not that great. So, we complained about that with ADT. They came up, made some adjustments, and didn't do much with that. We complained again because we couldn't see who was coming to the door and when we got somebody up here, we had to pay for it because it wasn't within the timeframe of when we bought it. And we didn't know that. We also didn't think that it should make any difference because they were the ones that did it wrong in the first place and we let them know once before.
So, we had a second person do some strange adjustments. He didn't know a lot about wiring because he strung a wire through the garage underneath the bicycle rack, which had bikes on it, and over the back door to the garage, and outside, then down in front of the back door. So, we didn't like that either. We called ADT again and they finally sent somebody who really knew what he was doing. He took the whole thing out and started over. Now, we got beautiful angles and good picture quality. And we could see everything we needed to see. We had to pay for it though and we weren't very happy about paying twice, but we got what we wanted. I’d tell my friends that I had problems with ADT in the beginning. There were too many installers involved with it and some of them were obviously educated than others were. I would also tell them to really keep close track of that, take notes, if necessary, and ask who and when and why.

Basically, ADT sold me a piece of junk for thousands of dollars. The system problems are endless. I incurred several thousand dollars of fines from my local municipality due to false alarms while I was abroad. ADT called the police and never informed me that it was doing so or had done so. The result was compounding fines. Recently, when a smoke alarm went off, there was no way to disarm the alarm from the panel. I tried to call them so that they would not call the fire department, resulting in yet more fines, the robot menu system asked if my alarm was going off. When I responded yes, it put me on hold! The only reason the fire department was not in fact called is because the smoke alarm event never registered with them, It just goes on and on. I have begun to shop for an alternative and cannot wait to get rid of this nuisance.

Sadly, I have had a horrible experience with ADT… The system has never worked properly. I’ve only had it for three months and it was giving faulty sensor notifications since the beginning. I did not know this was happening until I open my door and did not get the normal open door signal. So I search further on the keypad and found on the events setting I had faulty sensor notifications every 10 mins. I was never notified of this through Adt.
After trying to have them fix the system several times I tried to get my money back through their guarantee and they are now giving me the hardest time. They are basically in a breach of contract for their money back guarantee. I am totally disappointed in a company like Adt, who should be a professional in my opinion.

Review of ADT Security Services: Beware! I recently had a highly disappointing experience with ADT Security Services, and I feel compelled to share a warning: read their contracts very, very carefully. Several women I know, including myself, have fallen victim to their misleading practices. ADT representatives tricked us into signing contracts that we didn't fully understand. When we attempted to cancel these contracts, we were hit with exorbitant cancellation fees.
It's clear that ADT exploits their customers by making the terms and conditions of their contracts intentionally confusing. If you're considering using their services, please be extremely cautious. Make sure to scrutinize every detail of the contract to avoid the same fate. Customer service was unhelpful and unsympathetic, adding to the frustration. This experience has left me feeling taken advantage of and deeply dissatisfied. In summary: ADT Security Services has proven to be untrustworthy and exploitative. If you choose to use their services, proceed with extreme caution and a thorough understanding of the contract's terms.

Continuously disappointed in this company. After trying to cancel my service I was told not to cancel until the first of the next month because it will lower my payout charge but I was worried about them taking another months payment that I’m not using. I was reassured that wouldn’t happen and that the next charge on my card will not be taken or that a credit could be given because I was a long-time dedicated customer.
I trusted what the rep said and decided to wait to cancel my account but my monthly payment was taken by them two days later. Called again the following day and was told that the original rep who gave me this information will call me back in 30 minutes since she was busy on another call at the moment. She never did call me back. Called again after the weekend and now this rep was very warm and nice at the beginning.
Once I told her I was switching with another company she got a bit salty and rude. When I expressed my frustration about my payment being taken and now owning more than I would have if the first rep just let me cancel the original day I called, she said she couldn’t do anything about it and told me I can just cancel now. After I finally decided to just take the hit and lose money the company doesn’t deserve I let her cancel the account.
She followed up with a sarcastic tone of wishing me well and thanking me for being a part of the company and did a cold and sudden hang up on me without letting me get a word in or asking if I had questions or needed anything else. I did still have questions and I was taken by surprise at her rude behavior at the end of the call. I had to call right back once again to reassure everything was done correctly and get some unanswered questions answered. Very rude and people like them make me so glad I cancelled and am moving forward with a different company.

We moved into this house about two and a half years ago, and it had ADT in it. And where we came from, we had a different company which we were satisfied with but we figured since it already had ADT and the monthly payments look similar, we'd go with ADT. They charge us $1,500 for installation, and they installed two keypads. I can't wait to pay that off and use my three-year contract to get the heck out of there and then drop them like a hot potato. We already had a camera here, so we went with all the trouble we've had with that.
Plus, one of the keypads the other day had blanked out. They wanted to send someone out here to put something so one keypad can communicate with the other keypad, and they were gonna charge us $300 for that. I don't know why because that keypad is right behind the wall with the internet. It worked for two and a half years and now all of a sudden, it goes off and on. And then they were gonna charge me for the little magnetic things on the front door. They were gonna charge me $80 for someone to come out and switch one of those because it wasn't working. So, I said, "I'm not gonna do that. Send me one and I'll change it." So with a screwdriver, I changed the thing and saved 80 bucks. I would never ever deal with ADT again.
As far as billing goes, I had it on my debit card. When I got a new debit card, the data changed. It took about 10 phone calls with the billing department to do away with the late fees and every other thing and redo it again. It's the worst. Just today, I went to my bank and did a payment from my bank rather than using my debit card. That's another thing. Today, I got a bill for 70 something odd dollars. I asked, "$70, what's that for?" They said, "Well, you missed the last three payments on this other one." I said, "I missed them? How did I miss it because my credit card changed?" It was unbelievable.
Once my $1,500 is paid off, it will be goodbye. They want me to leave the stuff on the curb for them to come pick up. They can come and get it. I already called the previous company I was with and said, "Do you charge for installation?" They said, "No, we don't." As a matter of fact, they had given me a discount for being a retired police lieutenant. I should have went with them when we moved up here. Another thing that happened was I shut the alarm off one morning and I went out to the garage. The garage is hooked up to the same system. I got some milk out of the refrigerator in the garage. I came back inside, didn't hear any noise and the next thing I know, I got a ring at the front door and there were two policemen standing there. They said, "Your alarm went off." I said, "It went off? I shut it off when I woke up."
I'm dissatisfied with them. I had to call about 10 different times when my expiration date went off on my debit card. And they kept messing it up, changing this, and charged me late fees after I spoke to them. They didn't notify me for a month or two. Then they said, "You're two months behind on your payments." I said, "What? Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you notify me I was late or the payment didn't go through?" They waited two months and added late fees. I finally talked to someone and got the late fees taken away and I paid the whole thing. And then I got another bill for the same amount that I just paid. So, I don't know if one hand knows what the other hand is doing.
As far as the monitoring fee, it's right up there with everyone else. When we hadn't moved in to the house yet, and the guy came to look at the system and everything else, I said, "Well, we have to leave. Just lock the door when you leave." If he had said, "Oh, by the way, there's gonna be a charge for this." I have no idea what he did but we got charged $1,500 for a house that had ADT. He changed a couple of the door sensors from white to brown because it was a brown door. He did two of those on two front doors. That was it.

I had ADT when I lived in New Hampshire and I brought it back to Vermont. And now, I wanna get rid of it. The smoke detector ran its battery life. So, when we replaced the batteries, it didn't come back on. I called ADT and the rep told me to replace the battery and everything should be fine. So, we replaced the battery but that didn't work. So I called her and we did five different things. Then she asked what the expiration date was on it. It expired two months ago when the guy put it back in the first time when it broke off the wall. Then I was told I have to pay $100 to get a new one and I'm just not willing to do that again when it wasn't my fault that anything happened to it.
The second alarm that we had for the carbon monoxide was gonna expire too so the guy told me that when I call, I should get both of them replaced. I asked why he couldn’t just replace them right then when he knew they were expired and he said he only had expired ones in his truck. So, he was putting up an expired one and he thought that was okay for me. ADT is good when you first start. After that, the customer service is lousy.

In comparison to Brinks, ADT's customer service doesn't work as efficiently. They try to get the user to fix things on their own such as battery replacements.

I have a hard-wired system and so far, I haven't really had any issues with false alarms. When I've set it off a couple of times, I hit the cancel button, but ADT would still call just to check.

I've had ADT for over 20 years and for some reason, I don't have the same service as I had before. I added carbon monoxide detectors only because I saw it in the news that it's becoming dangerous, so I called them. My smoke detectors are from the builder. They're not from ADT. They only monitor them. In the beginning, the service was good. But now, for the smoke detectors, they tell me, “Well, that those aren't ours. Those are the ones the builder put in.” I don't understand how that works, but there's been a yellow light on my box forever. There’s supposed to be a primary and a secondary, and that's the thing I don't understand. But if I tell them to come over, they wanna charge me. They came out because the sensors were beeping and beeping in the middle of the night, so I finally took off the batteries and threw them outside because they wouldn't stop beeping.
As far as the other services, I have never needed the smoke detector alarm thing because I'm always home and there's always a lot of people at home. So, I've never had an alarm go off and the police or the firemen come over. The only one they came out for was the beeping part, and then they found out that it was the battery or the instrument thing that was on top. They told me that it had an expiration date. I never knew that until they told me. So, if it goes out before the expiration date, then they take care of it but if it's after the expiration date, then I have to pay for it. So, it was after the expiration date, and I had to pay.
I'm thinking, “Well, now the yellow light is on.” My husband works all the time and he said, “Let's just call them and see what the heck is going on with the yellow light.” Because it's just there. It's not like before. I never had problems like that. I'm fed up with them. The people that come over are very good and they help out. But when they leave, that's when the lights come on. So if I call them back, then that's gonna be a charge. I've had this yellow light on for months. They told me to change the smoke detectors. They couldn't do it for me.
I thought ADT would take care of the smoke detectors because I'm paying them every month, but they said I have to go to Home Depot. I went to Home Depot and I bought them, and my husband installed them. But now there's a yellow light, and they told me that I have to go up there. The ceilings are very high in this house, so it's a pain to go up there. They told me that it could be that one of the smoke detectors was a little loose. I'm so fed up.

I would have left ADT already had I not been too lazy to look elsewhere to find a different company because I'm not truly happy with ADT in its entirety. I'm unhappy with their fluctuation in pricing all the time. There are no loyalty guarantees for us. I've been a loyal customer for over seven years, but that doesn't mean anything to them. There are so many other companies out there that are less. I just don't make the time to go out and search. ADT's pricing keeps going up and I feel like I don't get my money's worth. With what I'm paying, I don't feel that I'm getting everything that I should be.
The price just appears on the bill. I'm not one to sit and look at my bill every month. So, I set my bills up accordingly. If I know something's gonna be $50 for a month every month, I budget myself a certain way. I don't just pay the bill when it comes to $50. If I know the bill is gonna be $50, I'll divide that by four and I'll pay $12.40 each week towards that bill, so when the $50 bill is due, it's paid. I'm not putting out the $50 all at once because I may need to pay something else. That's just the way I set up my billings. I set up my billing differently than other people. ADT needs to be more dedicated to its loyal customers because if it wasn't for us being loyal to them, they wouldn't be in business. I would recommend them if they were more loyal, but at the current rate that they're going out, I wouldn't recommend them.

This is a safe area but it gives us that extra to feel more secure about our house and when we have to leave. The reps of ADT have been wonderful. The installers were very knowledgeable and made a good installation. We had to have someone come down and check the system out at one time, and the battery was bad and I couldn't get the cover back on it. And the tech came down and did that for me. So, we've had a good experience both times we've interacted with any of the people from ADT.

I used ADT for years before Massachusetts. And at the time, they were probably the better ones with services. Interacting with them now, compared to 10 years ago, is a lot different. Getting in touch with the first-line customer service person is good. If you ask for manager support or manager callback, it's very little. Now, they’ve gone the corporate route where they just charge you for every little thing that you do. I'm not too happy with them right now. We bought a carbon monoxide and fire detector from them and those were installed in the wall. The product failed and we were pretty much told that they wouldn't fix it and that we needed to buy a new one. I had to buy a new one.
Also, we had a carbon monoxide leak while I was waiting for them to install the new one. Our furnace had a crack in it. So, we had it there for a week or two, if not, longer, because we originally were quoted $400 for the new carbon monoxide. And after six hours’ worth of phone calls, I finally got someone. They said it was only about $100. We got a brand-new furnace. I had them install it, but it took about a week and a half for them to get out there to do it. And then between that time, our furnace failed and we had a carbon monoxide leak.

We had ADT at my old house, and then we also had them when we moved out here. We've had them for 20 years out here. I have a Ring that my son-in-law put up a long time ago. So, I stay with that and I have not changed anything. I keep the landline for ADT and to find my cellphone. I had a false alarm and they called immediately. Once, it went off at 2:30 in the morning and, a week later, it went off at 4:00 in the morning. The police came the first time. And the second time, I told them not to come. Then, ADT came out that next day and changed all the sensors in the door and there was a malfunction in the board and they fixed that, too. If a friend were to ask about ADT, I'd tell him to take it.

Our alarms went off by accident twice and the people that responded were very quick and very nice to work with. But we're disappointed a little bit because I don't have an instruction booklet and I tried looking up the things that need to be done online. But I don't even know what system I have because nothing was left for us when it was installed. We were told we didn't really need an instruction booklet because that's what the technicians are for, but you can't get ahold of the technicians.
We had two technicians come, one to install, and then someone else came out to reset something for us. We were told to call the technicians if we had a problem with our system, which I have been trying for quite a while now and I'm getting an answering machine for both of them and I don't know if it's theirs or not because it's a generic answering system. I've tried several times and I don't know if I'm dialing the wrong number. Right now, our alarm system works but it's not set properly. It's sitting on the alarm screen and I have no idea how to get it back to where it should be. They've texted me twice now to update my system, but I have no clue how to do that.

My military nurse wife was called up for duty and since I worked, I wanted to make sure that the house was fully protected. So we got ADT and they gave us a great rate. It's a military rate. So we're very, very satisfied with it. The signs alone kind of deter people from thinking about entering this house. ADT made sure that we were up to date with the latest technologies but the price was a little bit too much for us, so we just have a regular doorbell which rings loud enough. We can hear it throughout the house.
Whenever we call ADT, someone answers right away. They are very, very good at what they do, but we've had issues with having our alarm on for certain periods of time, and it's gone off for no reason. We've gotten calls, and then the police had to come out. So we're kind of frustrated a little bit that they don't service us that well. This has been a couple of years back, and they said they fixed it, but it hasn't been fully fixed yet. But that's partially my fault. I haven't called them back since I've been busy with work.

When we got ADT, we had problems from the very start. We had to call them out because we needed to give the recording to the police but it would disappear. One time, the guy next door had a stolen bike in the garage and the next day, he came and got it, put it in a U-Haul, and took off. The night before the police went over there and said they didn't see any bikes in the recording. The film would have told them what really happened but we couldn't get it out. And that thing never worked properly.
When ADT's techs came out, I asked for an extra camera, then we got these bills we didn't know were coming. I wanted that camera up because our boat got stuff stolen off of it and we were trying to get license plate numbers for the police. But we couldn't see stuff from the camera through our cellphones and computer. Plus, it didn't hold the recording. We complained about it and we called about the contract. We told ADT that we were not using the system and they said, too bad we signed a contract. So rather than argue and fight for the whole thing, which is not worth it, we're now paying on a dead horse. They system hasn't worked in years and we're still making the payments until next year. We're only doing that so the credit doesn't get messed up.

We first got ADT 20 years ago. It sounded like a good deal. Then, my husband passed away and I moved here to my new home and I continued on with the service. I'm comfortable with the system and I've had their reps here and they're fine. I have had some instances where I might have done something wrong or something happened and I couldn't identify it and needed to call ADT. The last time that happened, I got a young woman on the phone with me and she was fantastic. She stayed with me until the problem was solved. But other times, people aren't that sensitive when they're dealing with an elderly person. They lose patience or don't have the patience that perhaps they should. Fortunately, these instances haven't been numerous and I've been able to handle them myself.

When it was time to change the battery, it was nice of them to send me a box. But who is going to get up there and change the batteries? I am 72 years old. They're not expecting me to get on the ladder. I didn't like that. Also, I called them about the chime on the door and someone walked me through how to do it and I took notes. She was new at this, but she was willing to keep me on the phone and try until we got it right. But the door is still not chiming and I've decided I'm not gonna call ADT again. They wanted to charge me $59 but I've been a loyal member of ADT since 2016 and I'm not paying a service charge. This is their equipment and they need to come and service it. I would not recommend them and I'm looking at some other choices. They're not the only people that service security.

I had the ADT system installed four years ago and the features then were okay. But now, it's low quality. They were falling off the wall, they didn't have batteries to work anymore, and it was expensive. Also, they put the heat detector right outside my shower. Every time I took a shower, it would go off and I couldn't shut it off because I was in the shower so the police would come. It was a pain in the neck. I wanted them to fix it and they wanted to charge me how much money to do that. I liked the app, though. I could do stuff on it.
But their customer service is awful. There's nobody that you can talk to about your issues and that understands. I talked to one man about my batteries and he said, "Oh, just go to Walmart. You can pick them up anywhere," and that's not true. They are wrapped in a special pack. ADT should service their customers and they should come out every couple of years and update the product, because the products are outdated. I finally just cancelled the service. The new company I'm with is half of what I was paying ADT.

Cannot stand ADT. Yes, the actual monitoring was good. But they are very expensive and do not budge on cancellation fees +++. We moved out of the country - cannot transfer services - and they not only billed me through the end of the contract but processed a cancellation fee. Would never use them again.
Hi Susan, if a service contract is terminated prior to the end date, as outlined in the ADT residential Services agreement, 75 percent of the remaining term is billed in full to close the account. If outstanding ADT Flex Fi loan charges are due as well, those would be billed to close also. If we can be of any further assistance in going over these final charges, we encourage you to call us directly at 1 800 238 2727. Thank you

People should get ADT because they’re very good. I can see inside my house when I'm in here as well as when I'm not. And if I go out and don't press my key fob, I can go on the app and set it no matter where I'm at. Someone’s coming here to see what's wrong with my camera on the outside. I had the maintenance guy in my complex move the camera where I could see because the squirrel got up there and moved it over. When he did, it went out on me. We tried fixing it and it wasn't coming on and ADT said maybe it’s something with the scene card. Another thing is, my bracket broke when I got up there in the living room to look. It was worn. All I did was move the camera and the thing popped. So, I called ADT to see if I could get another bracket. But they don’t sell just a bracket. I would have to buy the whole camera and the bracket together. And that’s 100 and something dollars. So, I’ll just go online and see if I can find one or a similar one.

I just wanted to get a quick setup, which I have now. The technician who came out was able to install all the cameras and get everything to work. He was also very knowledgeable in calculating the angles of the camera so it could cover the entire backyard and front yard. I am in travel status but when I return, I’d probably add some more sensors or cameras inside the house. The app on the mobile device is very good and when I log in with my laptop, I don't have any problem. There are other things there but I want to keep everything simplified. I get alerts if anyone shows up on the property and the doorbell. So, I'm happy with it.

I hate ADT. When I first bought my house, they already had a system working with ADT, so I just reconnected it using my account. I've contacted their customer service several times. I don't have anything against the actual people working at ADT. The technical support team is really friendly. They helped me with every single issue that I had. It’s just I had so many issues. Something really bad happened inside my house. My daughter fell into the pool. Thank goodness I was able to catch her in time. It was very traumatic for the whole family. But I wanted to see, so I checked back on the security cameras and I don't have any recording. I called ADT and I was really upset that I don't have any recordings of what was happening in my backyard.
The way it was set up, the cameras don't record 24/7. Then I tried to make them work 24/7. They never will. It's just the way the ADT system is. So, I hate this system. For me, it doesn't make any sense. Why is it a security system if I don't have a 24/7 recording? I tried to cancel my ADT account several times because of that. They said I couldn't because I had a contract for three years. Also, the doorbell never works. The people who work at ADT are great. They sympathize with my frustration, but there was nothing they could do. I will not recommend ADT. A lot of stuff happened, and I didn't have any recordings, and it really upset me.

The only time I'm in contact with the reps from ADT is when they call me when I'm accidentally setting off my alarm and when other family members forget to turn it off before they enter. With that long run, there’s a sense of urgency to turn off the modem. But everything is fine with the system. I just have to change the battery on the sensors from time to time. It’s not bad. But for somebody who’s not mechanically inclined, they tear it up and tell them to send them another one.
ADT is a good system but my bill keeps going up. I had a different house in a different city and things were cheaper across the board as far as the cost of living. ADT is not the only one going up but I should be paying less than what I'm paying and being that I only have two doors covered via the alarm. When I had it in my prior residence, it was ADT that came out to do the installation and was monitored and I paid the bill, too. But when I got this home, they contracted it out. So, part of my bill is paying for the middleman who came out to do the installation. It’s in the contract. But I will give them a call because that contract is up with that third party.
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how important it is to maintain a cost efficient bill. We will use this as an opportunity to improve.

When I first got ADT, the rep told me a bunch of stuff. I specifically remember asking them if I was gonna be locked in and they said no. Then, I found out I was stuck in a three-year contract and if I try to end it early, I have to pay everything upfront, which is three grand. That was not clear to me. So, ADT should let people know. The customer service from that standpoint was horrible. The doorbell or Ring camera doesn't work 7% of the time. If there's someone at the door, I need it to see who's at the door and it doesn't pull up. It's not good. I went to talk to ADT about it and I got the runaround about trying to get it removed. The app is good, clean, very concise and easy to use but some of the features don't work or as efficiently as they should. I would not recommend ADT to anybody and I would be leaving them as soon as my contract ends.

I’ve been with ADT for 20 years because of the service and trust that I have in them. Whenever I have a problem and I need to reset something, they do an excellent job. If I have questions, they answer thoroughly and make sure I understand. I'm comfortable with them. I have the alarm around my whole house where it announces that the door is open. When a glass is broken, an alarm will go off. And I added cameras. I feel secure, especially since I’m a retired senior. Sometimes, when I open the door and I forget to close it, and I realize I got the alarm on, I rush back and put in my code. ADT will call me in about two minutes and see if everything is okay. They ask for my safe word and go from there. Once I put back my alarm when it goes off, it clears it. Also, ADT would send me a text saying that my alarm went off and they saw that I put in my code. So, they have good backup service too.
If I need to reset my chimes because the power went off, I can call. The longest I ever waited to get somebody on the phone was three minutes and then, the rep walked me through all the sequences. I want to change my code and my safe word and set the chimes because once again, the power went off and I forgot to set the time. I could go online but I like feedback from a human being, so I'm gonna call them and they'll set the time for me. It’s laziness on my part. I just haven't done it.
