    My ADT system is very good. It's very simple to set. Because I don't have a lot of different features, I just set it when I'm leaving. I have a remote control that I use when I come back home, and I just use that to come back on. I don't have any problems at all. It's very simple. I have no difficulty setting the alarm and turning it off. I do like that they give you enough time to get to the system to turn it off if it comes on accidentally. If I forget to turn the system off before I open the door, I have plenty of time to get to the box to turn it off. ADT is a good thing to have. When you live alone as I do, you have peace of mind knowing that your house is protected when you leave your house. I've had ADT for at least 30 years. I get quite a few invitations for various items that are for sale, but I'm satisfied with what's happening where I'm now.

    ADT is nice to start with. We feel secure. They offer a good price. But after a few years, the price goes up to where we almost have to go to somebody else. Also, most of the time when I try to call, I would get an automated system or I would get somebody that I couldn't understand and couldn't understand me because I'm from the country. Getting in contact with somebody that could speak English is getting hard.

    We moved in to a prefab new home and ADT was the only one that was offered. There was a panel that was already preinstalled for emergency services and any optional cameras would be out of pocket on top of that. I did the basic and they added a free camera, so I threw that in. Also, I added a camera for our backyard so we have front driveway and backyard cameras. The installer was a real nice guy. But we had some issues with the connections a month later and I contacted them again and someone else came out.

    The only gripe I have with the system is that the cameras don't self-record and they don't alert any movement or motion. If I'm not home and I'm not sitting there constantly watching my cameras, I don't know what's going on out there. They just sit there and I have two cameras that are useless. I'm not upset about it but it's like, “Why do I even have that thing?” The only thing that updates us is our front doorbell camera. And we've had our fire alarm go off a couple of times and it did not alert fire or police. Overall, it's not really doing much. The app is nice, though. I use it all the time.

    I’ve been with ADT since 2020 and want to forewarn others who are considering using ADT. After signing the agreement, you only have 72 hours to cancel your contract with them without any penalty. If you decide to cancel after 72 hours, then you may be facing over $1,000, even if all your equipment is fully paid off. ADT has the right to increase your monthly plan after being with them for 12 months, regardless if you signed up for 24-36 month on a set amount per month - they won’t tell you that up front.

    You only have 90 days after signing the contract for a technician to come out to your home at no charge. After 90 days, ADT charges $100 per hour for labor. Unless you pay an extra $7 a month on top of your regular monthly plan, then the cost of labor per hour is between $50-$99 an hour. The only equipment that stopped working since my installation was the wireless doorbell charm. I recommend using the google nest doorbell camera that comes with a google nest speaker. The 1-800 number customer service is lousy. Very poor customer service. I’ve had better luck with my local ADT representative. Only reason why I use ADT is because their external cameras with infrared are better than Xfinity security cameras.

    Beware of ADT Alarm Systems: My Frustrating Experience. I want to share my experience with ADT and advise against letting them install an alarm system in your home. Our ordeal began when our State Farm insurance agent informed us about a deal they had with ADT. What followed was a series of issues and frustrations with the ADT alarm system installed in our home.

    High Costs and Lack of Transparency. When the ADT installer arrived, he convinced me to purchase additional equipment, which cost an extra $1300. The contract was signed via Docusign, but it lacked an itemized list of the costs, leaving me clueless about what I was actually paying for. To top it off, he left us with a Google Nest Hub that I didn't want but was told was part of the plan. Later, I discovered we were charged $125 for the Nest Hub. Despite calling ADT 12 times to have this charge removed and return the unopened Nest Hub, I was met with excuses and no resolution. Initial Issues and Resolution. Just two days after installation, frustrated with the lack of support and transparency, I decided to cancel the ADT service. Only then did an agent offer to refund the cost of the Nest Hub. I wish I had canceled right then and there.

    Recurring Technical Problems. Three months later, one of the 3-in-1 sensors (smoke, carbon monoxide, and heat) began to emit a "low battery" chirp. Despite replacing the batteries and verifying they were good, the chirping continued. After several calls, an ADT representative finally acknowledged that the unit was defective and sent a replacement.

    More Issues and Inadequate Support. Last week, another 3-in-1 sensor started chirping. I went through the same process of replacing batteries, but the chirping persisted. Multiple calls to ADT led to various agents giving conflicting instructions. One agent suggested removing the batteries and resetting the system, which ultimately caused the alarm to go off and triggered a seizure in one of my dogs.

    Continued Frustration. After another series of calls, I was informed that I would need to pay $160 to replace the defective unit, as the warranty was only 90 days. I refused to pay for something that failed after just five months. An agent attempted to help me remove the unit from the system, but that night, the alarm went off again, triggering another seizure in my dog. Now, I have a non-functional alarm system and am stuck paying $35 a month for the next 2 ½ years for a service that is more of a headache than a help.

    Conclusion. ADT's business model seems to involve selling defective systems that require frequent and costly replacements. My experience with their lack of transparency, poor customer support, and defective products has been nothing short of frustrating. I strongly advise considering other options before choosing ADT for your home security needs.

    I've had ADT for a lot of years and I'm pleased with them. The only thing I'm not pleased with was when I had to have them walk me through something, I didn't understand the people that I got and they didn't understand me. But with the latest experience I had, I had a young lady and she was great. I was getting ready to go out of town when my tablet went off and I needed to get my system back operating. I called early and a young lady spoke very good English. The next one I got was Spanish, but I could understand her. The last two experiences were great. But before that, I got so angry that I told them to cancel my service. Even with my experience, I would recommend ADT to anybody because most of my family members already have them and my neighbors around me do too. We're gonna keep ADT around.

    ADT is a dreadful company. My daughter had spoken to an individual and it seemed like every question she asked, he read from a piece of paper to respond in a certain way. The service stinks. I will make preparations to eventually leave this company. They collect money from me every month without any problems. The only issue that they were on the ball with was if I went to bed and fell asleep and forgot to set the alarm system. They say, “Oh, you forgot to set your alarm system” or “Your alarm system was set after 10 o'clock at night.”

    After three months, three batteries went dead. They wanted me to pay for the batteries. I said, “This is your batteries.” They were supposed to last nine months. The batteries lasted three months, which indicates that they used the batteries that were used before I got them. Also, they wanted me to replace the batteries. They will send a man, but they'll charge me to replace the batteries plus the cost of the batteries. There was nothing but dissatisfaction with them every time I spoke to them. Tomorrow, we're supposed to receive the batteries in the mail which will cost me $20 or more. They want me to pay them for things that should be provided free to me. I would never recommend ADT. ADT is not a customer-friendly organization.

    We had ADT in the past when we were living in almost close to wildlife. At that time, it was all motion sensors. There was nothing with the cameras at that time. We were there for almost 18 months and then we closed it. That time, a little kid was there with us and all wild animals were roaming around. We took it back in New Jersey. And then now when we finally got our own home, we just thought of having this service again with the camera. All two roads, back side and front side, are linking to the different roads. So, we wanted to have an observation. For now, it's good. We don't have any issues. The only issue which I could see is to have another camera. We need to add it also. I purchased a couple of new cameras which are compatible with ADT. If someone can install it apart from the two cameras which I got, then that would be great.

    The ADT system has always worked fine. But I wish it wasn't quite so loud because if I set off the alarm, it’s enough to ruin a person's hearing. When they were originally setting it up, I heard my daughter say she wanted everybody to hear it. I don't know at this point whether it bleeds into the neighborhood or just inside my house.

    After years of having ADT's medical medallion, my kids talked me into trying a newer one with them. It turned out to be a disaster. It was a big chunky thing for my wrist and broke the first time I tried to use it. I went back to my old medical medallion that hangs around my neck and is 35 years old. I wish they would give me a better medallion, but I understand that they've quit. When I did it 35 years ago, it went with the package. Now, it's no longer that way. But it's a very nice thing to have it be part of ADT as opposed to having to go with a different carrier for a different reason and because I did it so long ago, I still get it as part of the ADT package rather than an additional expense. I'm delighted with ADT. But if Comcast isn't working, then they don't work too.

    I have been with ADT for 20 years. I never had an alarm system ever before. I still have the same package and it still works flawlessly. Years ago, one of my motion detectors, it showed up on the screen with a code number and the girl said, "Oh, yeah. That's your motion detector in such and such a location." I said, "Okay. When I get the battery at Walmart or whatever, can you walk me through how to install it?" She said, "Sure." She told me how to deactivate that zone. I went and got a battery. A couple of days later, I called them back and got a step ladder. I said, "Okay. How do I do this?" And she told me and it was done in five minutes.

    A few years back, I wanna put an alarm in my garage door. I have one big garage door because I have a two-car garage. I work on cars, so I have a lot of things in there I want protected. So I called up ADT and said, "Hey." What I was thinking was, everybody's got these garage door openers that work by their cell phone. You don't have to even be near it. You could be driving and you could open the garage door and you're two miles from home. I didn't want something to happen, when someone's driving by, and they hit their garage door opener, and the signal makes my door open. So I said, "I'm gonna call ADT to see if they can put a thing on the big garage door." They came out and it was a nominal thing. It was $68. It was ridiculously cheap. They put the thing and hooked up and said, "Okay. You're all set."

    ADT meets my needs for alarm service. Over the years, with technology and advancements, I didn't feel like I got less support because I wasn't interested in upgrading my system. Even though their plans were upgrading and making what I had obsolete, they still worked with me to be able to have what I needed within my budget. That was remarkable instead of being dismissed like other organizations that tear up and lose customers because their service no longer applies to you if you don't move along with them. I made a call recently to ask ADT about my service and see where I was at with things. The representative, through my loyalty of being a customer for so long, told me I fit into a discount so my bill dropped by a couple bucks just from a simple call to check in.

    At the time that I acquired services through ADT, I thought they were the better choice. But not so much now. They're not what I thought they were. I've seen things and been through things with ADT, having to get simple things straightened out. I had two accounts, and as I was going through the experience and sharing it with people, they were saying, "I don't know why you went with ADT. They're the worst." The system works except for my cameras that doesn't constantly work. For the camera above the garage, when I'm logging on to try to see video, it may log on or may not. It'll say for me to run some type of test, asking if the Wi-Fi password has changed. As I'm trying to go through and do everything, it still doesn't resolve the problem, then all of a sudden, it'll pop back up one day where it's working.

    It is easy to call and get in contact with someone but I'm not as satisfied as I should be. There's some improvement ADT needs to do that they're not doing. I don't think there's any communication when you're trying to call. If you call, talk to a rep and get disconnected, the next day, your problem is still not rectified. One person was telling me one thing and another person was telling me something else. Having to go through that for over a month with a property that had sold and had the owner to sign up with ADT to take over my contract was the biggest headache that I had to go through.

    The rep was very patient and answered my questions on what to do. The installation took some time, but it was right. It’s very pricey for having a house full of people but the system has been good so far. However, I didn't get a guy back out here. I don't like that they don't hold the charge and the batteries don't last that long. With it being summer time, I have grandkids who are running in and out. I have so much traffic where the camera at the back doesn't stay charged. We can't run a cord to that because they'll see it. It doesn't make any sense to have it there like that. I need to have one more camera. I have one at the back and on the side. I have some inside the home because there are a lot of kids in my basement and they steal things.

    ADT is the worst anybody can ever have and every chance I get to put it out there, I'm gonna put it out there. I got ADT and I pay for it every month because they work against people who don't have it. ADT wasn’t bad until they showed me for 20 years they’re not gonna protect my house. An anti-jammer blocks the signals and that allows my next-door neighbor to come in my house. He stole all my clothes and took my chandeliers out of the ceiling. He took the speakers out of the components and stole my air fryer. And then last week, he came back and took some more dishes out of the kitchen again. I call ADT and tell them but they do nothing about it. They keep telling me it’s working on their end. I'm losing everything. I go out of the house and I have to take six bags like a bag lady. I'm 68 years old and I shouldn't have to be going through this. I thought I moved here to be settled down and to be in a quiet neighborhood.

Then, he must have quit or moved, and someone else came. I have one window now that is not reading on the system but I did not report it because I wanna have a hurricane window put in there eventually. People should get ADT.

    I'm moving overseas, so canceling the service of ADT was a natural course of moving. I'm not gonna have that service over there. But I've heard that those who canceled because of poor service, get the runaround. I’m not gonna play that game. There were some nice things about the service, but the detractors really pulled that down. Part of the reason why I stopped service with them is they wanted to charge me $80 for them to come out and take a look at the panel, a panel that they installed that filled their own update. I said, “I'll save myself the service fee per month and just terminate service.” They have a good customer service presence in the beginning. They install it professionally. But they always find some way to put you over the rock for coming up for a service call or fix something that was their faulty equipment.

    I'm not satisfied at all with ADT. After having it for nearly 29 years, I may have to change. I am looking into alternatives now. There are numerous things that go on and they are charging an arm and a leg for my security system. It's about $65 or so per month and what am I getting? Two of the sensors are not working. When I called and told them, they said, "We will charge you money." Then whenever I go on vacation out of the country, it's impossible that at least three false alarms will not be there. I do not know how and why the false alarm occurs. I have to pay $75 per false alarm. The police came and there was nothing there.

    My money is being wasted completely with ADT. I even go for a week and there are at least two false alarms. I go for a month, there are three to four false alarms. Before this, in 2023, there were four false alarms. I paid $75 per false alarm to the Village of Woodridge Police Department. I'm not here to just shell out money and ADT does not take care of my thing.

    One technician came out to inspect our home. My daughter was there. She got everything examined because the false alarms had already happened three times. He said one of the sensors was malfunctioning, but nobody opened the door. So, that had nothing to do with the alarm system. I'm pretty savvy and well-informed on the ADT alarm system by now. Also, after he left, there was another false alarm 15 days later. 10 years ago, I told them that I wanted another remote for my children's bedroom so that they could arm and disarm right from their bedroom. There was no action taken. I could go on and on with what's happening with ADT. The only plus thing is that I asked for a new ADT sign, and they sent me two yard signs.

    I'm not happy with ADT. They try to take advantage of people that buy new homes and convince you to sign up for things you don't really need for services. The only reason I got the coverage last August is because it came hooked up to the house as a smart system with a brand-new home. The guy came and hooked it up. I fell for the extra coverage that I didn't really have to get. Apparently, a lot of homeowners in the neighborhood fell for that as well, and I didn't know that you didn't have to have all that extra coverage and pay for all this. It wasn't even anything I really needed, and it's not even anything that good. I could have just bought the same stuff through my actual homeowners insurance who apparently offered the same type of thing and they would have given me the same equipment. So, it was a rip-off. Also, they make you stay signed up for a few years at that price. It's ridiculous.

I wasn't aware that once I signed up, I would be locked in for three years. I hated that. Then when I went to contact the tech who was supposed to come out and get everything installed, it took over a month for him to come back out to look at the security system that he installed and spent 10 minutes there when I had called every other day for a month and a half straight to get him out.

    The problem is that ADT is not just ADT. There's a mother company and no one told me that. I was calling ADT this whole time and they couldn't help me. I was being transferred to every possible customer service representative that they had. Finally, they got me over to the mother company who's the one that holds all the accounts and contracts. Right off the bat, it was the worst experience. I've got my internet or electric or water company that reaches out to me every so often to ask how everything's going.

    I got fed a bunch of crap and I'm not happy about it at all. The salesman promised us all this stuff. I was not aware they were a third party. I was thinking it was ADT. Once they came in and hooked everything up, we told them we had a dog and wanted a motion sensor in the house. They said they got a motion sensor that would work very well with an 80-pound dog or less. We got the motion sensor and paid all this money for it.

    When we set the alarm and left, we weren't gone five minutes down the road and we were getting a call from ADT saying somebody had broken into the house. We came back home and they said the motion sensor went off. My 5-pound dog jumped on the couch and set it off. They said the sensor must be faulty and they'd send somebody out to look at it. They sent somebody out but couldn't find anything wrong with it or with the placement. They said, “It must be faulty. We'll just give you a new one. We'll switch it out.” They switched it out.

    We went somewhere and set the alarm. Five minutes later, the alarm company called me telling me the motion sensor was going off again. They came back out again. I ended up having to have it taken off completely. They told me it was a lot better if I get the window sensors. It was gonna be another $1,000 to do all the windows. But when they first sold me the alarm, they told me how secure I was, that it was all perfect. They sold me some glass break sensors and they put them in, centrally located. I asked if those were gonna cover all the windows and they said yes. Later on they said if someone breaks in the window in the bedroom, it probably won't hear that one because it's far.

    They put the cameras over my garage. I got one outside camera. That camera started not working. It kept glitching. I couldn't see the video. After telling me that I had everything I needed, they were telling me my internet was not fast enough. I needed faster internet because it was not reaching the camera outside and I need more cameras that I gotta pay more money for. I called my internet provider, and they upped me from 100 megabytes to 500 megabytes. But the camera keeps freezing and still doesn't work right. It won't download videos or stay on. I called them back and they said my router is too far away from the garage. I told them every house has a router in the front room. I had to buy a device to plug into the wall closer to the router to transfer signal. That was 50 bucks. Once I did that, it started working.

    I couldn't get my doorbell camera to work half the time. I told them, "You guys have been installing these systems for how many years now. You knew when you installed my system that I was gonna have all these issues." But they didn't wanna tell me how much it was gonna cost me. I had to go buy all this stuff on my own to get what they installed to work. Once I got my system installed, the managers were supposed to call me back but they never called me. They said, “You gotta understand, they're out in the field.” I said, “You gotta understand, I'm a new customer that they promised things.” They haven't called me in over a year. Now that ADT has got my monthly payment, they're done with me. They won’t call me about anything else. No upgrades. No nothing. They screwed me over and that was the end of it.

    I've been satisfied with the service over the many years that we've had ADT. When I've had them to do something, they've been very good. There are other systems that have come out, but so far, ADT has worked perfectly for what we've done. I'm an older guy that lives by himself, and I when I go out, it's my little remote that I have for setting the alarm and coming back in. I'm moving slower so I don't have to go down the hallway to get to the main unit. I've also connected it through various other electronic devices I have to talk to and control things that when I need help, I can quickly call them. However, over the years, everything is becoming harder to talk to a real person. I had called them to deal with the batteries on the sensor. I get frustrated a lot nowadays because of not being able to go to a talking person. I have to go through that menu to get to someone that I can talk to directly.

They didn't give us any instructions on how to use it. They said we could go online and get the instructions rather than give us a pamphlet. I find it not as easy to use as my basic system was. I don't use it when I go to the grocery store or at night. I don't trust that it would be safe for me to set the away with my animals.

But everything is simple to use on that app. Before ADT buys another company, they should get an idea of the equipment that that other company has so it's not so hard. We had to wait on ADT to get the parts for my camera because it's a different style camera that ADT doesn't use.

    The alarm works as expected, and I like that when the doors or windows open, the alarm would talk and verify which door or window is open or being accessed. When the alarm goes off though, no one calls. My previous alarm company would always call and make sure everything is verified, even if it just went off by accident.

    ADT called me about four months ago to renew the contract, and at that time, I expressed what I felt about them, that they can have somebody call me. I said, "There's no need to. You can call for money, but your customer service is poor." I don't need the alarm, and I'd like to cut it off, but my wife wants it. I work at night and if the alarm goes off, she knows the house is secure. There's a sense of security.

    Almost three years ago, an ADT salesman came and said that since we just bought the house here, they had some special offer for us. We got started with ADT, and initially, it was okay, but then they started trying to hard sell us some more sensors. I just wanted the basic thing. Installation was the same thing. The installer put in the ones that we purchased, then he offered to sell us more, but I didn't want more. Besides that, it was well cleaned up after he was done. The features of the system are nice too. I'm not sure how to change the batteries, but I'll figure that out.

    ADT got a little expensive after a while, because I'm on a fixed income, but I live out in the country so it's good to have security. We had a power outage recently, and the system sent an alert to the local police department, which was a good thing because it's good to know that it works. There was no problem, but it was reassuring to know that the police were there within moments.

    We live on 20 acres outside of town. Our house sits back off the road a little bit so there was a potential of robbery. When we built the house, we went with ADT. It's the Cadillac of security systems. Two years ago, we did a complete upgrade. They upgraded the alarm system on the windows and the doors that go to the outside. We have sliding glass doors that have a sensor that indicates that the door is being broken, which works well for us. They've got sensors inside the house as well. I use the app on the phone if I'm gonna be leaving then I can disarm it through my phone as I come back or as I'm close to the house.

    I also have a driveway alarm since the driveway is 200 feet long. We originally went with a sensor that you break the beam, and it shuts and sends an alarm into the house. The problem with that is if leaves or branches or animals move in front of it, it breaks that beam so you get to the point where your alarm go off but there's nobody there. We ended up getting the model that senses the passage of heavy metal as it goes by it and is buried in the ground. If somebody pulls into the driveway and drives more than halfway down the driveway, they won't see the alarm, but I can hear it from inside the house.

    When we bought the original system, we had the placard that you attach to the outside. Weather and time have reduced it to almost unrecognizable except for the shape. I sent to ADT and told them that that happened. They sent me two brand new ones. I changed the position of that one so it doesn't face the sun anymore ‘cause the sun will bleach out the blue. Then I have the other one in the house as a spare if something happened to that one. The price is another plus. With my home insurance, I can get almost the fee for the service taken off my premiums because I have the service.

So, they'll have to be inactive whenever I arm my alarm until they come back. It was like that for about a week. But other than that, it's doing good now that we got everything stuck to the wall again. The initial guy was cool but he couldn’t finish everything. I had three different people come to do it and they were helpful. The installers plugged the system up and we synced up. And it was up and running.

    ADT sucks. My experience with them has been highly negative. The 2 years that I've had them have been financial hell. When I got the flyer, I made a mistake and that's on me. I was not reading the fine print. I thought I was going to be able to get ADT for 30 bucks. But in the fine print, it said you gotta have a landline, which I do not. The guy who installed it did not explain it. All of a sudden, 30 bucks turned into 50 bucks. I now pay 65 bucks a month to ADT because they have raised their price. I'm 78 years old and living on social security. Also, my housemates still get kicked off from the app on the phone. They have to come through me to get a code. We give it to them, hopefully, within their time limit then they can lock or unlock the alarm.

    ADT gave me motion sensors in the house that could be activated by something over 50 pounds. I didn't know any of my cats were over 50 pounds. The motion sensors get set off by my cats. We tried to turn the sensors off but there is no way to do that. I'm a little slow now because I've got a torn meniscus. One of my other roommates is even slower so we can't just push the button and run. We have to go outside and use our phones. We had to pay extra for the basics that were needed.

    I moved across the country and thought I needed a security system like ADT to get the discount on homeowners'. ADT locked me into a four-year contract because of the special installation. I tried cancelling, and it was gonna cost me over $2,000 to cancel. I use Ring service right now. I don't use any of ADT's products since they've been installed. However, I signed something and now I have to financially obligate myself until the contract's resolved, and then I can cancel. It's a $65 a month waste, and I would tell people, "Don't do it."

    ADT has been present in the house since 2020. It was originally in my father's house, then I took it over. They told me that if I stayed, they wouldn't up the price for three years. Besides that, I’ve had to call customer support several times because some of the sensors got knocked off. I have had to replace the batteries in the alarm system, which was moderately difficult. I had to take apart the alarm panel. I have also had to add cameras myself, and I still cannot use their app on my phone because while they let me change the email address that it's registered under, in order to authorize it, it sends an email to a non-existent address.

    I use ADT and to start, the customer service was great. We were in the transition of changing our security company over, and when I purchased the system through the sales guy, he came out. He recommended all the things that I knew I was gonna get, but the installation service side was not planned out very well and not very good. When the guy set up the system, that's where the ball was dropped at. We were getting some timers added to the lights, and one of them got added, but the other one did not.

    As a result, I don't know if ADT didn't pay the electricians to come out and do it, but the electricians called me and said they were gonna put a lien on my property. I said, "For what? I don't know what you're talking about. I worked with ADT on this, not with you. I don't even know who you are." The next thing I knew, I had to call ADT and say, "Hey, you need to contact this company. They're gonna put a lien on my property. Because they didn't finish the work so that's why they didn't get paid." They got it worked out, but the work never got finished and I just gave up on it. I've been with ADT for four years now, and I'm not getting what I paid for. We've had some issues with the other equipment that they installed as well. All in all, avoid ADT. The customer service is not very good there.

    We've been customers for 40 years. We started out with the Bel-Air Patrol in Beverly Hills, California, then ADT purchased the company. The system works all the time, and I have no complaints. We've added on a couple of rooms, added security to those rooms and upgraded the bathroom as well. It's been so trouble-free that we've had very few problems, and if we did, we had the people come out and fix it.

    Last night, I had a problem inadvertently opening the door for the dog after I had already turned the alarm on. After that, I couldn't reset the system and I wasn't getting a message on the panel. ADT referred me to technical support. I waited a couple minutes and then got this wonderful woman who walked me through a number of things to do. None of which worked, and here I was, a 76-year-old woman at home at night with nobody here. I had to go down to the basement to where the panel is. The woman talked me through how to disconnect it and power it down then power it back up, and it worked. Having to get a flashlight and a screwdriver and unscrew the bolt that holds the plug into the wall wasn't that easy for me, but the customer service was absolutely fabulous. I'd like the woman to get some sort of credit for helping me.

There was a little hiccup because I couldn't count the number of windows that I have accurately, and they resolved the issue in the moment.

    I have had different issues with my front door camera. It's not working. ADT did not and will not allow me to get out of contract. There were several attempts to try to get the front door working. They haven't other options as far as what I can do. I didn't like that everything has to be Bluetooth or nothing can be battery-operated. Everything has to be wired.

    The transformer was too weak. So, it wasn't holding it. ADT gave me a transformer to get an electrician to come replace it. And I had it replaced. That was the first electrician that I had to pay for to change the transformer. But it didn't work. The front door camera kept going out altogether. I couldn't restart it. And they said, “Now, the transformer is too powerful.” It gave too much voltage to the front door camera, so it made it automatically power off. I spoke to an ADT service manager who contacted me and asked me to get the correct transformer and have ADT and the electrician here at the same time. I did that. But we still weren't able to come up with anything. That was when the electrician finally determined that the wire is now bad.

    After months of having months of having ADT come out and try to repair it, I've spent much money on having different people come out and taking off work to have ADT fix my front door camera, we found out that it was a wire issue. ADT doesn't have other options as far as me having a front door camera that isn't wired, instead of other options out there like Ring that has battery-operated. That way, I could at least get the wired issues addressed and have to come back out and fix it. So, I have to get an electrician to come out and fix the wired. But I'm still in contract for a service that I don't have with ADT.

    If I cancel, I have to pay 75% of the remaining balance of the contract. And it doesn't sound right, especially since I couldn't even use the service. I've had issues since week two. They have full documentation of everything that has been going on, how many times their reps have been out here, how many times I've called to reset the camera. I haven't had a month when I've had all services working correctly.

    At first, I bought this house and ADT installed the alarm panel on the wall and had the battery in my bathroom that blew out my entire up, downstairs, and middle outlet because it was too powerful. And they messed up the front door camera. So, it has been a lot. The experience for not even six months has been horrible. I can't wait for my three-year contract to be over so I could cancel since they wouldn't let me cancel it now.

Then when I try to cancel when I called in my trouble, they told me I couldn't cancel through the people that I was talking to about my problems with ADT. So, I'm paying for no service.

    When I do try to use the system, it continuously beeps and keeps people up at night. So, I have to just not use it at all. Then, they give you instructions online on how to change the battery, but the instructions don't match the type of equipment that I have. They told me in order to make an appointment for someone to come out, there would be a fee. I called the support services and I was talking to them about trying to set the appointment. When they told me there would be a fee for them to come out, I said, "Well, I wanna cancel my service now." They said, "You can't cancel through us." I was so frustrated, I did not. Shame on me because I'm still paying for a service that I can't use. They sent me a survey about their service and I put down how bad it was. You would think they would do a follow-up call.

    The last time I tried to talk with ADT, I did not have a good experience. The local EMS people in the county I live in gave everybody a new address. I called ADT about a problem. And in the process of that problem, I told them I needed to get my address changed. The person that took my call argued me up and down that the address they had on file was the house. They could transfer that account to a new house.

    I kept trying to tell them it was my original house. It was the house the system was installed in. I had lived in it 47 years. And all I needed to do was change the number of the street. And this person did not understand or could not understand. It was someone with a heavy accent that I could not catch all that she was saying. I was right at the point of telling her that I would drop my ADT subscription. ADT needs to train your people, whoever it is that takes phone calls, that when someone calls and tells them they need to change an address, because somebody else had done it, they were living in the same house, they don't need to try to convince them they can't move it to another house.

    This has been over a month ago, and I asked at the time to speak to a supervisor. Finally got someone else on the phone that helped me that got the address changed. I asked to have someone contact me at that time. No one did. I got an email a couple of weeks after that, and I put on the email I gave ADT a very low rating, and I told them then I wanted someone to contact me. I was very dissatisfied with the service I received.

    The unit was so old that the buttons you pushed to set it were wearing out. They were little things that stuck up and when you push them down, they didn't always connect. ADT put a new panel in and the new panel is easier to set and arm and disarm because you're just touching it. You're not pushing a button that has to go down so the new technology makes it easier to set to arm and disarm the unit. We added a room and we had to move the sensor that was on what used to be the sliding patio door to the new back door, and the techs came out and did that, and that worked out fine. We haven't had any break-ins so we haven't had any need to notify ADT. So it's like they haven't done anything, but that's good. The few times we dealt with customer service has been positive.

So, we were triangulated into sticking with them. But ADT has a perfectly good customer service. The reps are nice folks and very helpful up to and including my most recent conversation. The price keeps going up though. You already have the system but they want to nickel and dime you to use the basic app, which is a given for any kind of modern product.

But it was too late because I was already locked into a contract. So they told me that there was nothing they could do for me. The reps are salespeople trying to sell something to you.

    My ADT experience is wretched. I had to unplug my system because it kept going off in the middle of the night. I called and got nowhere with ADT. I asked if someone could come and repair it, check it out, see if it worked, and they seemed very reluctant to send anyone. So, I just unplugged it. I don't use it, and they keep sending me emails telling me how wonderful it is that my system is working 100%. It's totally unplugged.

    When I had the shop, I had ADT for four years. Wonderful. If had a problem, somebody was out there quick to take care of things. ADT was able to do what I wanted. But when I bought a house, I did not know that this company that came out to install ADT was not part of ADT. I had nothing but problems. My system doesn't work right. And I'm stuck paying for crap for three years. They're some sub company not associated with ADT. They just sell ADT products. They told me they could rectify it for $1,800. The bad thing is, when I called ADT, they said, "Sir, if you're not happy with the service, we'll cancel it. No hard feelings." I would have to continue to pay ADT for three years and have ADT as a security system on this house or pay out $1,800 to cancel the contract. ADT should get rid of all of these fly-by-night companies like that because they do nothing but a rip-off. But the actual ADT is great.

    I'm not a happy customer with ADT. None of my systems work and I have been trying to cancel a system that I have not owned in three years. I've sold the house and the new owners don't want it. I called last week trying to cancel it and I talked to five different people saying all the same things. They can’t cancel and they’ve got to send me to another person. ADT is sending me bills and threatening to ruin my credit. I went to my bank and stopped the automatic payment. I would call and cancel and they would still keep subtracting from my bank. Now I'm still paying for one ADT service and it doesn't work. They need to quit sending me bills on that house. I tried to set up a service appointment and ADT wouldn't do it. They wanna walk me through it over my phone. But we can’t fix it on the phone. It's a home that my mother left me and I don't live there.

    ADT is very alert. Whenever I make pancakes and burn them, they call right away or they send the fire truck. So, they're keeping things monitored. I’ve been with them for 24 years because we’re satisfied with how they do their business and keep track of when the alarm goes off. We’re satisfied with the features of the system but about a year ago, we had a new control panel put in. It was a newer model and it works much better. The other one was outdated and you couldn't push the numbers and the little rubber things were worn out. The tech was very friendly, nice and helpful.

    We called ADT and asked them what kind of packages they had at the time. They had free installation for the system so their technician came out and put it all in for nothing. It was quick. We got it when we bought this house so it’s been 11 years. There are other options out today that weren't available when we bought it. Ring and all the other vendors didn't exist then. It was ADT or private local people.

    The contractor came out and updated the cellular modem one time. He couldn’t get it to work. He couldn’t get coverage in my basement and I told him to put it someplace else. He said it would have to be rescheduled and they would come back out. And that was two years ago. The system still works as long as the internet is working. But my internet is cellular so if the cellular goes out, then it’s no use. It's just sitting down there. I could call ADT but I never have and that's partially my fault for never calling them back and telling them to come back and fix it. They should have ensured it worked before they left but I get it, it's a contractor. It's been a good experience with ADT. But they keep trying to raise our monitoring rates on us. The system hasn't changed over the last 10 years and I’m paying for the internet for it to work. Typically, we call ADT and talk to them, and they roll it back to the original price. But it's still a hassle.

    The system works well if the door is open or if I wanna look outside and see. But sometimes, it's like a fog is on the camera. But other than that, everything else is okay. I only had to have assistance one time since I had the system. I had two doors open and the alarm went off. And I couldn't remember the code. I had to shut it off and the rep helped me. It was nice and she didn't stay on the phone long. She ran me right through it. ADT is a good company and I would recommend it. My friends and my mom have had the system since I told them about it. I said I have ADT and the sign is out front. That makes people cautious seeing that ADT sign out front and the stickers on the door. Even before I had ADT, I had no problem with nobody breaking in or doing anything like that but I still wanna keep it. I wanna be safe rather than sorry.

    I recently had a new ADT security system installed at my home, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer! The seven Google Nest cameras are absolutely fantastic. They have this amazing ability to quickly detect and alert you to any person seen on your smartphone from up to 300 feet away. What's even better is that they only alert you if a person is detected, and you can even customize the cameras to detect any moving object. Plus, the cameras store their recordings for a generous 60 days. And let's not forget about the motion sensors - they work like a charm! The phone app that comes with the system is packed with features that are super handy.

    Honestly, I haven't felt the need to tweak anything because the ADT system is just that good out of the box. And here's a big bonus - all the installers are ADT employees, no subcontractors involved. Trust me, that's a rare find these days. So, do yourself a favor and reach out to ADT for the best security system in America. You won't regret it, I promise! A very satisfied customer here, David.

    I’ve had the alarm system since 2016. At first everything was great with no issues. Sometime later in 2022 we were told we needed and upgraded with 5G capabilities. The price was put into our billing service, and we went ahead with the upgrade which they stated we required. After the upgrade we began having issues with the cameras and sensors. I made numerous calls to ADT which then would send a Tech to correct the issues. When the tech comes to correct any issues like sensors malfunctioning, the camera issues would disappear. Sometime in April of 2024 I contacted ADT and notified them of our sensor door malfunctioning and our cameras being out for close to a month. ADT could not resolve the issues and stated they would send a tech out to our home.

    ADT waived our bill for the month due to this ongoing issue of cameras or sensors not working. We were told it would take almost a month before the tech could come out to correct any issue. The tech was scheduled to come out to my home on May 13, 2024. Mind you since 2016 I’ve been paying my bill faithfully. When the tech finally came out, he corrected the issue of the sensor for the door and then I was told for him to check the cameras I would be charged $150.00 for the first 30 minutes and any additional 30 minutes would run at $150.00 more. I explained to the tech ADT representative never mentioned the charge. I told the tech to stop, and I would be contacting ADT.

    When I contacted ADT on May 13, 2024, after the tech left, I mentioned since 2016 I’ve been a faithful client and since the upgrade we have been having issues with the cameras. And it seems ADT is not willing to fix the issue and my home is not secured 100%. The ADT representative stated he could not do anything else. And at this point I was not breaking the contract, but ADT was breaking the contract by not providing the correct security for my home. I went ahead and wrote a letter requesting cancellation due to the failure of ADT not being able to secure my home. I received a phone call the following day and mentioned to them of my decision. The representative stated he would put in the cancellation.

    On June 17, 2024, I was charged my next bill, I immediately contacted ADT and mentioned to them why was I still being charged. They stated it was due to me still owning equipment and it would not be feasible to terminate. I stated ADT is the one breaking the contract when it cannot live by its obligations to secure my home. We went back and forth to whoever was breaking the contract ADT terminated my contract and stated, "You will receive an invoice and you might still be liable for the equipment." On June 19, 2024, close to $500.00 was deducted from my checking account. ADT should be ashamed of themselves. I suggest if you are looking for an alarm system don’t go with ADT.

    The ADT salesman came to the house and told me many things. He said two things that sold me. Number one, if our alarm went off, they would come to the house to verify before they called the police so there wouldn't be any problems with us calling the Warren police for false alarms. That was fantastic. Because I've heard horror stories where alarms have gone off and people would be out of the area and the police come, and people would get a bill. The other thing he said was, "And the great thing is we set the system up for you. And then any time you need any repairs or the batteries in the big thing need to be redone, just call us and we'll come and do it." They were a little more than other people. But I'm happy to pay the extra.

    Mother's Day, we had gone up north. The alarm went off on my phone and I had no idea what was going on. When I got back home, I contacted ADT and asked, "Why did the Warren police come?" "Your alarm went off and no one answered it." I said, "Yeah. But supposedly, you guys are supposed to..." "That's only in certain areas." But that's not what the salesman said.

    The person I spoke to said, "No, it's in gated areas only." I said, "Someone should have told me that because Lord knows Warren ain't gated." I was upset and told them that's not what they had promised. I asked if they could come and fix this it. "We can walk you through it." I said, "What do you mean walk me through it? You told me that you would come and fix this stuff." They said, "We will, but it's a $60 charge to come to the house." And I said, "That is not what you told me either." I got very upset and I spoke to a manager who said, "Very sorry. You understood that wrong." I said, "I didn't understand it wrong if you would have said, 'But you don't have it in that area.'"

    They gave me two months free monitoring to make up for it. And at this point, I already got it set up, I've already got the signage out, I've already set it up for autopay. I'm angry with ADT, but I'm not gonna go through a new company because it's a pain. After those two months, everything was on autopay. I didn't wanna deal with it. I didn't pay attention to that account that the money was taken out of because I put money in it.

    Six months went by and I got calls and thought they were sales calls and I would just hang up or delete. I noticed getting the same calls from the same number. I finally answered it and it was ADT. They were very upset because I'm six months past due in my payments on my monitoring. I said, "What? It's on autopay. I see money being taken out by ADT every month now." Stupid me, I never looked close enough. What was being taken out every month was the equipment. Once they gave me those two free months, they never put it back on autopay. Maybe they couldn't and they misunderstood.

    We tried it again. I had one lady tell me, "If this doesn't take, you call back and ask for me and I will credit you the month because this is just crazy." It didn't work. I called her, but she doesn't exist there anymore. I would explain this story over and over every time and I would be frustrated because, when they would call, they would act as if it was a brand-new situation. It was three months ago we finally got it solved, where I have not had a problem since.

    I went out with my sister last month and I got a text message while I was with her from ADT saying that I was past due. I called them and the person said, there was a problem with their entire system that everybody got this past due notice. I said, "Okay. So that's a tech issue." He said, "No, you're up to date. Everything's fine. You're on autopay."

    I like the features of my ADT system. It says when it's time to change the battery on one of my sensors and then if the payment is behind. Still, the performance could be a little better. In the middle of the night, it starts beeping loudly when a smoke detector needs a battery and you can't open it up and change the battery. I've got to go through a whole process where I have to shut down the system. I had to call them to tell me it was the motion sensor that broke and it was 100 and some dollars to replace. I'm not gonna replace it and they finally shut it down. I want to just press the button on my keypad and shut the system off, change the battery, put the cap back on, and turn the system back on. You can't do that. Everything has to be that way. It's hard. Getting somebody to help me change the battery is a long drawn-out process.

    Getting in contact with an actual person is not that hard. But it's like they get frustrated and then they say, "Okay. Well, we can call a tech for you." I don't want a tech. I wanna replace the battery. I don't wanna wake up in the middle of the night with this beeping and then have to deal with the beeping, the resetting, and the test setting all night long. One time, I was supposed to shut down the system to replace the battery, and they shut down the wrong one. I gave in and said, "Send the tech." The tech came and he said, "Well, your problem is when they shut it down, they shut down the wrong sensor." Overall, I don't want to complain about the company because they have been helpful, but that battery thing is a pain in my rear end.

    Also, I can't get ahold of the automatic billing payment thing. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I tried to go to the website on my phone and it goes to a blank screen. I have reached out and talked to somebody, and that was a pleasant experience. I would tell others to give ADT a shot. They're a big company. I like their equipment. It's easy to operate.

    I have two ADT systems, one in Maryland and one at another location. I don't use it to the fullest but so far, so good. I just don't like the big sensor that they put on the door.

I guess that's the best they can do but they really need to make it a little bit more appealing to your household. It's big enough for me to be distasteful. I would like to have a keyless lock on my front door, but it would add more to my bill, and I didn't want to do that. I wish I could just buy a keyless lock without having the service added to my service.

    ADT didn't give me all the details. I found out information that was not given to me at the time when I signed up. They told me I had two years to cancel the contract. But now, it seems to be five years. There were a lot of hidden details that were not given to me. The service is not what they disclosed at the time of when I signed up. Everything was wonderful, but now it’s not the best company for my needs. They quoted me one price, and now I get two different charges every month on my bill. It's really very stressful.

    They're not monitoring anything because the system hasn't worked for months. Everything has a charge. Someone has to come in and reset the alarm system because I had a contractor that removed one of the devices from one of the windows downstairs in the basement. They have to come and reinstall it, and there is a charge for that. But no one has bothered to come and check. No one called me. I tried to set up another appointment and they tried to walk me through over the phone, but it's very complicated. You stay on the phone for over 30 minutes. I wish I had the money to cancel the contract. But right now I don't have the means to do so, so I'm stuck with them for the next three years.
