    After our ADT system was installed, it worked. But after a couple of years, it stopped working and right now, I'm having so much trouble with them. Our alarm system is constantly beeping. I can't even turn it on and it says, “Out of range.” It's horrible. They just came out here on Thursday and it was fixed. But it was fixed for less than 24 hours. Also, they charge for everything now. For the last visit, they charged the service fee to come out here, but the tech refused to help work on the camera.

    I'm okay with ADT's service and we've never had any problems, so we've kept what we got. When we had an issue, their reps told us how to fix it and we did it. One time, we weren't home and we had a false fire alarm. I was 35 minutes away from home and by the time I got here, the fire department was sitting on the front porch laughing at me coming up the driveway. I know them pretty good and the fire department ain't but two miles away.

    The gentleman I talked to on the phone was good and told me the ins and outs. We joked around a little bit. He told me I would get a gift card in my email and I never got that but that was fine. The technician was personable, nice and prompt. I had him come back out because I had to get something else hooked up separately because my internet wasn't hooked up yet. And he came out and took care of that.

    I haven't had time to call and express my concerns yet but my cameras don't pick up all the time and also do not record the people that are coming in and out of my place, which is annoying. It used to work all the time. Now, they don't. It’s sporadic. I can click on the cameras at any time most of the time and see what's going on, but they're not alerting me that anybody's at the house. I have the locks on my doors and I can lock and unlock them from my app, which is nice, but that's about it. Still, ADT was easy to deal with, and it was seamless and self-explanatory. There were no hidden charges. I have recommended it to a couple of family members that are building houses in my area and the only thing I'm yet to see is if they can fix my camera issue. But that’s on me that I haven’t called.

    I ordered a battery mid-March, and I just received it the day before yesterday. I had to inquire three times in order to get it. I finally got ahold of someone that took care of getting it to me. Other than that, ADT is worthy of being checked out and considered. I've had their services since 2020 and most things have gone fine. We usually receive a text inquiring about an alarm and if we don't respond, they're gonna contact the police or fire department.

    The experience with ADT has been mediocre. We've been with them for 30 years. I get emails occasionally offering me upgrades to my system but other than that, ADT has been, in terms of customer relations, a flat out 0. The only time that there has been a communication with ADT is when there either has been an alarm event or I've needed service. I've had issues with the batteries and alarms. I have spoken a couple of times with an ADT representative after we had an alarm event. At one time, they said that they would come out and replace batteries. Later, when I mentioned that call and tried to get someone to come out, they said, "We don't do that. You have to do the batteries yourself." They told me that I could get X number of batteries a year.

    The system does what it's supposed to do. You close the door as you set the alarm. If you open the door without releasing it, a buzzer goes off in the house. But I don't know at what point in time it sends the message to the ADT team. There have been a couple of instances where that has happened. They've called and we've told them it was a false alarm. There was one occasion that we were out of town. An alarm went off, which was not related to any intrusion. It was a malfunction within the system. They had sent the police out, but we weren't here. The positive news is I get a discount on my insurance premium because I have ADT. But I have taken and considered contacting other security companies that are more local.

    I was under contract through NorthStar. ADT bought them and my contract transferred over to ADT. When the system works, it does what it's supposed to do. But there are a lot of times that it doesn't work. The reps are nice and they try to help, but nothing ever gets resolved the first time. I've constantly had issues with the hardware, different doorbells or cameras, and I have to call at least 5 times and talk to multiple people to get anything resolved. It feels like I've been pushed to the back because of me being under contract through the third-party company that they bought. I'm not a priority because I wasn't a ADT customer initially. The installation was with NorthStar, but even then, I've had I've had a few technicians have to come out to replace the camera or doorbell and there've been no explanations on anything or updates. I'm trying to get out of my contract and go to another company.

    The alarm works. The only thing is the battery dies every six years. The first time it happened, it was disturbing. When I called them and said that the low battery alarm was going off, they talked me through how to change it, where to buy one of those batteries and I was able to do it myself. That was good. I didn't have to pay someone to do it. It was also fairly easy to get to talk to a person and they were very helpful when I got through. I had a little trouble getting the app on my phone. I called and talked to a guy and we weren't able to get that accomplished, but I can get their information on my desktop. It's just annoying how much it costs because it's just a computer program for them. They send emails and try to get me to sign up for some advanced thing that I certainly don't wanna pay any more than I already do. Also, you have to have a landline to use it so you have to have the expense of a landline.

    We like the reliability of ADT's systems. We've been using them for decades. The customer service for the business account has been okay but for the home account, it was terrible. Our technician that was supposed to install drilled multiple holes in the walls because he was not able to install the panel. Additionally, the way the sensors were set up in our home weren't accurate because of the window shutters that we have. It almost looked as if the technician didn't know what he was doing.

    We had our smoke detectors go off. I was cooking bacon and it was apparently a very smoky bacon. We had to know a verbal password so that the fire department didn't come. That was annoying. Also, our doorbell camera has not worked since day one and I refuse to pay ADT to come out and fix something that they didn't install correctly. A camera is enough of a deterrent, but it's annoying that it doesn't work. I also don't like that I was told that I was locked into a rate but they increased my rates. A security service is one of those things where the value isn't there until something bad happens and I do not think I'm getting the value that I'm paying for, especially given the neighborhood I live in.

But sometimes, the four-digit pass code on the app doesn't work, and I have to do a full login. It takes longer to do that. Also, I haven't always been happy with ADT. When I started with them, it was $21 a month. It slowly kept creeping up then it was over $100 monthly. I was gonna go with a new service and when I called ADT to cancel, they said they'd drop it back down to 21.99 a month. I'm on a two-year plan just to get that amount and had to call to get it. I've been with ADT for 10 years but new customers get treated better.

    ADT set the system up. It's cut and dried. If there was a problem, the alarm would go off. The functionality seems fine. Also, the reps are kind and sweet but couldn't fix the problem. ADT set up two separate accounts. One that had nothing to do with the whole setup. I've done 10 calls to fix this, spent 45 minutes to an hour each time on the phone with them, and never to a resolution. So finally, they said, “We see you have a second account that doesn't belong to you or it was incorrectly set up. You've been paying into it for almost nine months to a year. We're gonna credit you all this, that, and the other.” They told me that it's fixed. But it still hasn't been, and they still call me, saying that my account is past due. Maybe they don't wanna give back the money.

    They called me this morning, and I told them where they could go. I'm gonna set my admins to put this all over the internet about this company. The company itself is either run by imbeciles or they have a system they couldn't fix. It has been nothing but a nightmare. They couldn't seem to get their act together and fix this. It’s a joke.

When Harbor connected the equipment, one of the sensors fell off, and they wanted to charge me to come fix the sensor. That made the equipment less reliable. It allows the system to always be overridden, which means if somebody were to enter through that door, there would be no protection there because it's not working. I refused to pay.

    We've had ADT for two dozen years. The system hasn't ever been updated. It was a little disappointing that they've never called and said, "Hey, you're using antiquated equipment. Would you like to upgrade?" Because we have pets at home, I really can't use the system other than for fire detection. My pets trigger the motion detectors. We use the security system because if there's a fire, the service would get notified. I've had to call ADT to find out how to put the system on test so I can replace a battery. I downloaded the app, so I don't need to contact them anymore for that. ADT is expensive. They don't take any proactive action to reach out to existing customers.

    ADT has different systems, and they are flexible with working with the budget of whoever they're dealing with. I would recommend them. The rep came out, and we talked about what I was looking for. I had a package with a doorbell but it was too expensive. So, we went with just door and window sensors, and they left me a Google Play box, but I didn't have a camera so I didn't need that. I called in and they took out that portion that was supposed to be taken off the bill for what I'm paying. All I have is the screen on the wall to turn on and off the alarm, and the doors and windows sensors.

    The system works for what it is. It's basic. They installed one of the sensors on the sliding door that when you close the door, it gets knocked off because of the blinds that are up there. That probably could have been thought out a bit better. Otherwise, the installation on everything was good. It's nice to be able to be away from our house and not worry too much about it.

I have 20 or 30 batteries to constantly change all the time.

    There's a battery out somewhere almost all the time and it's not always clear which battery it is. It just gives you which zone. And if you have one little battery out in one zone, your system is useless. Right now, the system hasn't been up in months. I'm really unhappy with it.

    The ADT system has been keeping me feeling secure and safe. We got it when we moved into our house, which was a new home that was just built. The house next door was robbed that night. Then, one Sunday afternoon, there was a young man going around taking a survey. He came to my house first and my daughter was there at the time. She told him her parents were home and he left. But the same guy went down three houses and robbed a house and took all the elder grandparents' jewelry. There have been things like that. Also, when my kids were getting older and my husband and I were both at work and they were home alone, I felt more secure knowing that we have ADT.

    The functionality is fine. The only issue we had was about two years ago, the alarm was going off several times. One time, the cops came and my neighbor called me at my daughter's in Virginia to say that there's police at my house. The police had checked the house but the alarm just kept ringing. It took me almost 45 minutes that one time. I had to call ADT and the scary part was when they would not call me back. My neighbor had a key, but he didn't know the code to turn it off. The issue was a faulty sensor in the system and we went through batteries and everything else but it kept happening. We had to put a three-inch by two-inch sensor back on the door and that solved the problem. Other than that, I haven't had an issue in the last two years. I'm very happy and comfortable with the system. I feel totally safe and protected and I still have my ADT sign out front, which is like my security just having the sign there.

    The service of ADT is good. However, upfront, we weren't told a lot of stuff. And I would have never signed a contract for three years. The rep had a little iPhone and the only thing the rep told us was, "Sign here." No paperwork. But I love it. It's self-explanatory. It's great and easy to use. My favorite feature is the home screen panel that you can go to. It puts it out there on display with everything you need to do. I called one day. Something wasn't working right. They said, "We have to get a technician." I said, "How about I just cancel?" They said, "You can't cancel it. You're in a three-year deal." I came apart after that and my wife calmed me down. She said, "It's okay. We'll handle it." But, everybody that I've talked to on the phone was awesome.

They wanna charge me to have someone to come out and get my service back online because my internet provider changed, and the system is not connecting, and they couldn't tell me how to do it because one of the items that needed to be done requires for me to get up on a ladder and do it because it's outside.

    I told them that makes no sense to me. They're gonna charge me almost $100 for somebody to come out to make sure that I'm getting service and I only had it for a short period of time. I took their installer’s advice, which was he recommended that I change my internet box, and that's what I did. I got an upgraded box that's capable of handling the security system.

    We had our security system installed 4 days ago, the salesperson came out and we agreed to a price and needed equipment. The very next day the installer technician came out to do the install and he said we need another camera, a separate dedicated Wi-Fi for their system including a "mesh" system for an additional $350.00 which we agreed to purchase. The Google cameras do not stay online the majority of the day, they buffer in and out constantly so it is pointless for a "security system" to have cameras that cannot show live video.

    Read the fine print! ADT advertises a 6-month money back guarantee with their system, that's only after you have paid them three times to come out and if they determine that they cannot fix the issue. In fact, in order for them to come out now after just 4 days to try and fix the issue, they want to charge me $60.00 minimum!

    The truth of their agreement is they only give you three days including Saturday's & Sunday's to get out of the contract for a faulty system. They do not stand behind their product, the customer service is terrible. GO WITH VIVINT!

I've done some research since I've installed their equipment and I can get as good, if not better, coverage for a lot cheaper to do our entire house. With them, we could only afford to do part of our house because as senior citizens, to do our entire house was unattainable. They should have incentives for senior citizens in order to make it more affordable. And if those were out there, I never heard of them or no one ever mentioned them to me. Other than that, even remotely, when we're away from the house, we can operate the system remotely, which I really like.

    I've been with ADT for a long time and they kept raising my rate. Being overcharged compared to what everybody else is charging didn't seem to make a whole lot of sense for a loyal customer. I called to try to negotiate the price down and they were stern that they couldn't do anything about it, so I went to the market and found a better price. Then all of a sudden, when I called to cancel after engaging to use the other services, they mysteriously magically brought my rate down. It was over half of what I was paying, so now I'm good. But the process to do that didn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. And one of my best friends did all this probably four months before me and was canceling. But they sent somebody out and they did everything and lowered his rate. They didn't do any of that for me besides to lower my rate, which I was fine with. It just seems silly.

    Also, I requested six signs and the first time I called, they said they were gonna send some new signs to put outside the house but I never received them. When I called to cancel, I told them they never did it and all of a sudden, 4 signs showed up to my house. They couldn't even fulfill the order of how many signs I requested.

    We aren’t even done paying for the system and the control pad won’t accept new batteries, it always beeps and says missing battery. They want to schedule out a virtual appt for the repairs then when the virtual tech can’t solve it I will have to pay for a technician to come out. I’m not paying a tech to come out for something we’ve had for 10 months.

    Updated on 03/13/2025: If I could give a negative number of stars, it would be minus 100. ADT run scams. I was lured into an expensive one year contract and when contract was up for renewal I made multiple calls letting them know that I am not going to renew this contract and and asked to cancel my account, but they were continuously billing me accruing debt on an expired contract and then sent collectors after me. One collector left me along after my dispute letter and they have sent another one.

    I got a call from their customer service to resolve this issue only after I filed complaint with BBB. Beside that, tech service is absolutely incompetent. They couldn't figure out for a couple of months why my system is constantly beeping. Made me to change sensors batteries ($14 each) just to discover that it was the station battery and to fix this I have to pay for their tech to come over and change it. It was the last drop. I ripped out all their garbage system and was paying till the end of contract to get rid of them. It was September 2023 and I finally got rid of this scammers just yesterday. Absolutely hate them!

    Original Review: If I could give ADT negative rate it would be -100. They lied to me to lock me into contract at high price, and after contract ended I called a few times letting them know that I am not going to renew contract and I removed all equipment. But they continued to bill me for 8 month ignoring my calls regarding closed contract and now they sent all this scamming bills to collections. If there are more former customers like me, It would be a great case for class action.

    When I first called for information, the customer service rep said they could probably use my Vivint equipment, but they couldn’t. It’s proprietary. It was never possible. They lied. I told the installer that I was also considering Brinks and he said Brinks uses ADT equipment and would send ADT out if I needed service. That was another lie. Brinks uses alarm.com equipment and they do not send ADT to service their accounts. Then the installer kept increasing the amount of new equipment I would need to buy after he already started installing the system. I ended up paying about $600 for the installation of new equipment. Then the installer didn’t explain the system or even leave a yard sign.

    The second panel stopped working after a week. I had to use the virtual tech support person to get it back online. When it wasn’t working, my external door wouldn’t arm. Then the panel stopped working again about two weeks later. I had only been a customer for a month! I called to explain that this is the second time the panel has stopped working since the April 11 installation. They wouldn’t send a service tech. I had to use the virtual option or pay for a service call ($169). After I gave notice of cancelation, they offered to send someone, but by then, it was too late.

    Then as I was having Brinks replace their crappy equipment with quality equipment, they didn’t call to say the system was offline until 24 hours later! Anyone could have taken that system offline! I specifically didn’t tell them in advance to see what their response would be. I was not surprised by their inaction. I requested a full equipment refund with cancelation. When I tried to cancel, they said I’d have to pay a cancelation fee. I reported them to the Better Business Bureau, and they offered to waive the early termination fee of $335.98 but wouldn’t let me return the equipment for a refund. Even they don’t want their crappy equipment! This is what you can expect as an ADT customer. Go with Brinks! The equipment is much higher quality.

    ADT (POOR SERVICE PROVIDER). We have been with ADT for over 5 years at this residence and 10+ more with other residences. They do NOT value customers. We have been patient and have spent well over 4 hours on the phone with them since yesterday! Our alarm panel has been going off intermittently for weeks now. I spent time with their technician fixing this virtually yesterday. It seemed we were good and "fixed" with a couple bad sensors being sent as replacements. UNTIL last night at 3 am with it doing the same thing and waking everyone up with NO faults showing. Since I couldn't sleep, I was in the phone with them at 6 am, 9 am, 12 pm and again at 2 pm!! Always being told a manager would call me back, but never bothering to! I spoke with Marissa (manager) and was told Nicole ** (another manager) was going to call me back.

    They just ignore you! They could care less if your alarm is going off in the middle of the night EVERY night! You are not a priority! Then I was told I was being directed to the WRONG department (general service) instead of field operations. I call field operations and they tell me, I have to wait until the 31st (over a week) with alarm going off randomly during the night. Then management told them to inform me that I could shut my entire system down. Anything happens to our place, I am handing these calls over to my insurance to go after (if anything happens here) ADT for their lack of providing for our protection paid service from them. This company is a disgrace. Come to find out so many other customers are having the same issue per the last ADT agent I spoke to. What are we all actually paying for? Disgraceful. They don't deserve even 1 star as the don't care about clients as reflected in their reviews. Date of experience: May 21, 2024.

    We got ADT because of the cameras but when they came to reset it, they changed the whole system and unplugged all the cameras. The technician told us that the new alarm system was not compatible with the cameras so I only have the basic ADT now. He also didn't connect one of the windows and I got broken into it in the middle of the night. They came in a second time and did a freebie for me. They fixed the problem with the window and checked all the other installations that the man had done. They didn't charge me for the service call.

    Yesterday, I was trying to add a person on to the ADT app and got this beautiful person. She had the patience to deal with me. I also called to see how much it would cost to put one or two cameras up but they're way too expensive. It's $99 for them to come out and put them on then $218 every month for three months, and it was for two cameras. The basic system has worked fine. If somebody opens the door, I know when it's opened. But I'm very unhappy with the fact that ADT took my cameras.

    If you are using ADT through a third party vendor like Safe Haven I would not recommend it. I was sold a security package that seemed to be a great deal with amazing features for a great price. However, when the system installer came I was told that for that I was getting installed the cost would be more than 5x what the sales rep and I agreed upon. On top of that the installer didn't even connect my doorbell camera. He said that he was not listened to do "heavy power" wiring. He left me some wires and said that I could do it myself. Not only that, but not even 24 hours later the security monitor had an AC power failure, So I called ADT and they informed me that due to me getting my services through Safe Haven I had to go to them for any issues that require component repairs or replacements. So I called Safe Haven and guess what? They do not have any customer support over the weekend.

    The sales rep went into the early evening and it was quick and not much was discussed. They just put the system in and said goodbye. The guys who installed the system were nice but they put in different kinds of things, like some windows have bigger ones that didn't look very good. But I didn't know that it was possible to do smaller ones until I walked around and started looking at everything. It seemed like they just wanted to get the job done. But they didn't offend me in any way. In retrospect and afterward, it seemed like it was done in a very good manner. The box they left was already scratched and maybe it had belonged to somebody else prior to that. Maybe they were giving me a cast-off. It's just that some of the things weren't quite as they should have been for a first-time customer.

    I did not have very good satisfaction with my ADT package. The alarms went off a couple of times in my house and I was not home and ADT called me to say they should send somebody out. The alarms are going off and they should of course send somebody. One time, I got charged by the police. I had to get my work to sign a piece of paper that said I had been at work and I had to take that to the police. The box for a couple of years hasn't been showing all the information. I had a motion sensor in the living room that hadn't been working for a while. No one ever checked in with me after it was installed.

    When I called ADT to discontinue my service, they talked me into a lower-cost service and I wasn't satisfied with even the service they were giving me. I tried to cancel and the girl got upset with me. She said I couldn’t cancel and that I was slated to go until the following month. I asked if I couldn’t cancel and she said I couldn’t. It was very inappropriate and abrupt and there wasn't much explanation other than she was mad. And I wasn't getting any help. I don’t wanna call ADT back. I cancelled them and I'm happy they're not with me anymore.

    I needed an alarm company, and the sales rep was knowledgeable about his stuff. He was friendly too. However, I dislike the doorbell camera. There would be times when people would ring it, and I'd be trying to talk to them through the doorbell camera, and by the time I finally could get to them or if it would even work, they would be gone already. The doorbell camera was terrible, and ADT didn't fix it.

    My contract with ADT ended last month, and I haven't renewed it because I don't think I'm gonna stay with them. It didn't feel any more special or different than any other system I've ever had, and I wish it would have had more. I wanted cameras around the house, and other companies are offering the same thing, but at a different price. That's why I'm going with someone else. Because to add the cameras around the house, the price would have been more than what I wanted to pay. I'm working out with another company, and they're coming to install this weekend.

So in that respect, that is the worst service I've ever had and it makes me uncomfortable for them to not even acknowledge that. When I would I call, they would say that they'd send them out and that it'd take a couple weeks. But I never get them. I like those signs.

I've been calling every week for the last 13 weeks to get a service technician to come out to my house and fix the system because it shows that there's a faulty issue. There's are 12 devices in my house and at least four of them are somewhat working, but the rest of them are faulty like the window devices, the camera, the door lock, the panel, and the garage door opener. Every night, the system keeps going off and it's not even active. I'm paying almost 100 bucks to ADT and I can't continue to pay for a system that is not working.

    Also, when ADT first came out to install the system, the first guy showed up with no tools and did half of the job. The second guy that showed up made it somewhat work, but it wasn't working. Then finally, a third person came out almost in a two-week period. It worked for a couple of months then it stopped working since then. I want to make the cameras work but they say that they're never connected even if they're hardwired to the electrical system. I have a terabyte of Wi-Fi because I work from home, so I have the fastest Wi-Fi and still I can't get the cameras to work.

It's not working with the system. Their guy was like, "Well, we need to upgrade it." I'm not paying $1,000 or $2,000 more for a system. I had it for almost six years now. The problem started after three years and I have nothing controlling my garage. My garage is detached from my house, but my sensors don't work. A guy came out a year ago, but he couldn't fix it. He told me, "I could fix it for 600 bucks." They never fixed it. They need to figure out why my keyboard works and doesn't work half the time. My garage needs to be re-hooked back up, too. That hasn't been hooked up for over a year.

    Also, I re-signed up for another three years. They never told me that re-signing up doesn't mean I get coverage on any of my stuff. They sent this guy out, and before I know it, I was almost $200 in the hole with charges for this guy to come out. It wasn't disclosed to me.

    The system is great. The only bad experience I've had is I burnt popcorn one night and they called back the fire department. It automatically went to the fire department. Other than that, the functionality is very simple. When I wash windows, I have to take that off of the alarm for like 30 minutes and it's very easy to do. Everything is named and the tools that you have to go to to do all this is very simple. It's dependable and the price is very fair. But one thing I don't like is when I call for service or to get information, I can't understand the people and it's very frustrating not to be able to understand.

    ADT's sales rep was knowledgeable about the product. But the product is not living up to what he mentioned. We always have to keep reprogramming our cameras and call them. We set programs in our app and we wanted to record something. But every time we check a recording, we noticed it didn't record for the last two days and the last one we have is at 7:00 a.m. on Friday. If strangers broke into my neighbor's car right across the street where my camera points at it, I couldn't help because my cameras didn't even record that. They did a WiFi check and I've done my part to where I've upgraded my WiFi network plus I bought a mesh system. So there's really no more excuses of maybe the cameras are losing connection. So right now, the cameras record when they record. They don't look really high-depth upgrade cameras. They look like something I could go to the discount store and purchase.

    Other than that, we're taking advantage of the alarm system all because they offer alarm system and I don't want to go through the hassle of buying another alarm system. We also like the feature where we could disarm it on our phone. Aside from that, one of our magnets fell and we had to keep bypassing our front door. They are replacing that free of charge. but they didn't call us about it when that should have been a red flag to ask us why we kept bypassing our front door. When I talked to their agents, they were nice, professional, and friendly. But I don't like the customer service behind them not following up on the bypass and on the cameras that we always have to reprogram. I've called multiple times of the issues but nobody called and asked if things are working correctly. Also, the 55 bucks is a little more on the high side for the service I'm getting right now. If I didn't have all these problems then it's worth it.

    We bought a house in a sponsored neighborhood and ADT came to us and the approach was sketchy. From the purchase date, we took about a month to move in and then, we got a knock on the door. It was some dude and all he had to represent ADT was a little plastic name badge, which was not at all convincing to me. I spent the entire meeting questioning if he was just casing the house because he looked around like, "Okay, we gotta put security things here." That's no different than, "Oh, I look like I'm gonna break in here." It was very frightening, at first. Also, it was cold then and he was all bundled up, which didn't help his case. He asked to come inside, which is like, of course you're gonna say that to get in. It was me being paranoid and it did not help. I talked with him in our basement because I didn't want him to see the inside of my house. Then, we told him we didn't want any smart equipment in our home and he didn't offer us any other packages or try to expand the services. So long story short, he left.

    But about a week later, a different guy came in and he looked like an actual salesperson and he had the whole binder with him, which helped a lot. He came in and we chat at our dining room table. We told him the same thing like that we don't trust smart things and he said that they have all these other things and explained how the keypad doesn't even use our WiFi and things like that. He was phenomenal and very sweet. We ended up getting the fire system installed and it works extremely well. It functions to the highest standard and I feel very secure. It's made a big difference in how we feel about things. For the price, it is 100% worth what you're getting.

    I wanted to cancel ADT, but they told me that it's a contract, and that I would have to pay the balance of the contract. There are a lot of security products that are much cheaper that do the same thing. So if I could cancel it, I would. One of my cameras went out and they wanna charge me $59 for the tech to come and replace it. I wound up adjusting my doorbell camera to make up for the distance that my broken camera would get. Because I had a warranty, I just got the replacement camera. I haven't hooked it up yet because I wasn't going to pay them $59 to do it. But I really don't need it. Because of the distance that the doorbell and the front room camera have, it's getting next-door neighbors. And they're in and out of the house. I'm better off when it's not ringing and notifying me all the time. I just didn't put it back up because I adjusted my doorbell. Since I'm still paying for it, I'll just keep it.

    ADT came and told me they were taking my security system over. They changed the keypad, set me a rate at 29.95 and said that anything that goes wrong was warranted. They wanted me to sign a five-year contract for 24.95, but they wouldn't warranty it. I started having trouble six months ago. I had problems with one of the motion detector. The battery went dead. I called them and they said that I would have to change the battery. I said, "I've never had any warranty claims, but that's not the deal we made." They sent me a battery, I changed the battery but it wouldn't work so I had to turn it off.

    I was told the reason I was without service for three months was the phone line so I had the phone company come out three different times and they told me it was that box that ADT had plugged into the plug-in that transmitted the signal. They said that box is bad. They unhooked that phone jack and the phone was okay. ADT sent me a credit because I had called them and told them I had no service. It went a couple of months and somebody called me. I told them it was not working and I needed somebody to come out and fix it.

    They made a date and sent a guy out here. He said, "I have to change it and run a new line just in case the line is bad." He said the parts are free but I had to pay 180 for the labor charge. I told him that was not the deal I had with ADT. He just left and we don't have service since that date. It's been three months and they're still sending me bills.

However, it was easier a while ago. Everything become so automated and you have the chatbots that you have to go through. But we still are appreciative of the service that we have.

    I really appreciate being able to see the video clips. I have either live if we're anticipating a delivery, if we're anticipating something possibly happening in the yard, front yard. We don't have cameras in the backyard, unfortunately. I also like the fact that when we had somebody try to open our front door at midnight a while back, I was able to take the video, save it, and give it to the police. It's there when you need it and it has ways of making sure that you are aware of both live and recorded for information. It's great.

    Other security companies have things that they offer and they are having security for your home that isn't affiliated with any company, to be able to do things independently. But what I like with ADT is, that not only do I get what I feel is 24/7 care, but it goes beyond security of anybody trying to break in or in the area that shouldn't be. We had, a few years ago, a chimney flue fire, which we ended up taking care of ourselves. The alarm went off and the fire trucks came. We didn't have to call them. It was taken care of.

The only time they reach out to me is if I'm falling behind my payment. Otherwise, I don't hear from you them. They should always have communication.

Besides that, I'm happy with the functionality and having an alarm system makes me feel safer. Also, when I call in, ADT's reps are usually very nice and they help me on the phone.

    I noticed that I used to like the service before when it was human beings calling. When my alarm would go off, I would get a phone call from ADT. Things have changed a lot through the years. Customer service should be a personal. Maybe there's only enough people in the customer service department and it's thousands of us, but it was better before. Also, the gentleman that installed the cameras fell through the roof. So they had to patch the roof, but everything was great. It was a pleasant experience.

    ADT sucks. I keep getting these notices that the batteries have died in the motion detector devices inside the house. I have my stepson who's younger handle that stuff. But I thought it could have been better handled by ADT. So, I called and said, "Can you guys take care of it?" "Oh, no. It'll cost you $60 if we come out." I pay them $37 a month. But as far as I'm concerned, nothing. So, I wasn't happy with that. Look around for other options and go with them.

    ADT's online tools are pretty good and the installation of the equipment was all lovely. But none of our sensors work and we keep having to change them. We get signal messages all the time. We've had four different techs come in , which we've had to pay for, but none of them have been able to fix it. We've had alarm systems in the past, so this came a bit of a surprise, how challenging it's been. It's been a disappointment, so we really would like to get out of the service. We're busy and we only have so much time that we can allocate towards problem solving with them. We've communicated that multiple times to various groups within ADT. Also, there's a fragmentation in their service delivery which may be leading to this lack of coordination. And it's like many large organizations, they may not be aware of how problematic the service is that is being provided. So, that's an opportunity for them.

    ADT is a scam. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy until they get their service and customer service straightened out. They got too big. They can't take care of their customers. They can't handle what they got and I'm not happy with it. I am not happy with them. They are the worst company I've seen for service. In my business, we got cameras and we call them for service because they get down. They don't come for days. They don't care.

    I have a business that I pay them a lot of money monthly for, and I have my home. ADT called me to tell me if we'd get another alarm, they would start charging me extra. That is ridiculous. When I took over the business, their system was there. They had a phony ad going through when I bought a new house saying that if we put all this stuff in, it would be all free, and I ended up paying ADT $3,500 and stuff I didn't want. We added a new system. It's worse than the one they had. They have to work on their service department if they want us to recommend them to people. I would not recommend them to anybody that I'm in business with. They suck and I would never use them again.

    My ADT system has been awesome though I've had a couple times where I've set it up by mistake. One time, they called me and said that according to the interior sensor, somebody was in the house. I freaked out, went home, had my handgun, and went through the whole house. But there was nothing there. I don't have any pets and I don't know how it got triggered. But other than that, it's been pretty flawless and I like it. It's nice knowing I've got that there. I've also got all the signs and stickers everywhere. And I like the fact that I've got the security knowing that if somebody breaks in, they will either call me or the police. When the system was installed, the guys who did it were really good and professional. They were fast and there wasn't any nuts anywhere. And it worked out really well. Aside from that, ADT's reps are always really helpful. When I have to call them, they always have all the answers I need and everybody's really friendly.

    I'm not happy with ADT. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of changing companies. They have this motion detector that I've had before and I said, "I didn't have you install it the second time because I didn't want you to install it the second time." The first time, it kept going off. It was triggered by my cats, which they said it's not supposed to do. Then they said, "Oh, no, this is much better, much better." I was in a city two hours away and the alarm went off and it was because of my cats. I can't be sure what's happening except, if it's an internal alarm, then it's like, "Okay, it's my cats." It could have been broken in through the window though. It's a little worrying to me. Also, I was a former ADT customer and when I got the new service, they said, "You'll get $200 off. We'll send you a $200 Visa certificate." I never got anything like that and they said, "We don't have anything down here saying you would get anything."

    I had a log cabin built and they said, "Well, we couldn't put in the alarm system by your front door because of the way the logs are being full logs. So we had to put it on the kitchen counter." Walking in the front door and going into the kitchen to get to the alarm is not really the most convenient. So, I'm gonna have to put it where it belongs. Overall, still, I'm very satisfied. ADT is a good company.

    I had my debit card hacked and ADT was taking payments directly out of my debit card. I had to cancel that card and get a new one and I had not called ADT immediately. When I did call them, then I got a bill for three times as much. I couldn't figure it out. So, I just kept paying my monthly fee until finally one day I got a hit on my card for 900-something dollars. I was like, "What is this?" They said, "Well, you never caught up the card. And since you were on a payment plan and you stopped paying, we just charge you the whole fee all at once." I was like, "What? You overdrew my account by hundreds of dollars." They said, "Well, we could put it back if you can give us a new debit card number." I was like, "Really? I didn't give you a new debit card because I was afraid you would do exactly this." They did take it back within five days.

    ADT is a famous brand. When we moved into our house in California, I thought I was dealing with an ADT representative, but it was more one of their third party vendors, and they offered me a package and I accepted because we needed to install an alarm in our new house. ADT always seemed like a leader in the field. Everybody always has those yard flags with the ADT. The only thing is I'm almost on the phone with customer service once a month. I've been relegated to being that crazy guy who has to call all the time because my system sucks. It's awful.

    The system is unreliable. It's constantly on the fritz. It's not user friendly, and it's more expensive than any other service I've ever had. I made the mistake of not asking, but everything is wireless and it doesn't work. My video cameras always need to be reset. In my previous two houses, the only time I ever had to deal with the alarm company was when I set it up. I never had one ounce of issue or worry, and that's the way I like it. Here, it's constant so I have zero peace of mind with the system.

    The first time I called, they charged me 50 bucks for a service call, and I was like, “Wait a minute. It's a brand new system.” I had to be irate. The customer service is good in the sense that they're very friendly. When I call, they're willing to get to the root of the problem, but it's been very limited. I upgraded once, and I had to pay for the upgrade. And the upgrade didn't buy me anything. If I haven't spent almost $4,000 on the system, I'd rip it out and start over with someone else.

    As far as the installation, it took over a week, and the installation team came back a couple of times. Then they got tired of me calling, and then said, “Just call AT&T directly." And that was what I would do. Then I paid for the upgrade, and that was also frustrating. All they did was put in a new panel. They didn't change the sensors. I've had the cameras changed a couple of times, but right now, one of the cameras is down and I don't have the patience or time to deal with it. I'll worry about it when I build up the stamina. It's great that I have an alarm and that if a door opens, I hear an alert that tells me that it's open. But other than that, I have zero satisfaction with the system and they're the most expensive one, too. I've had to call a ridiculous amount of times.

    I've had ADT since 2019, and so far, since I had this service started, I haven't had many issues. I didn't have any issues during the installation and the equipment is fine, but when I moved, I had a terrible time moving my account from one address to the other. I had a partial balance, and it took me six months or even longer to get to the right department who could issue the partial balance refund on my account. One time I had a sensor problem, and it took me a while to get to the right person. Customer service is not terrible overall, but it's not the best.

    We got a system installed in our house sometime in March. When the first guy came in and did it, he didn't have all the equipment, so ADT sent another guy. He came just to finish up and he said he owed us a tilt. He said he was gonna come back, but he never did. I sent an email, and I still haven't heard from anybody. Besides that, the system works fine. I used it for three days when they first installed it, but I didn't have everything on there to make sure the house was secured. There's no sense having or paying for a system that I can't use. The sensor on the back door is not sticking to the door, so I haven't been using the security, because there's no sense if people can come through the back door. All in all though, I'm satisfied with what they've got hooked up.

However, I'm not happy ADT because I had an issue with some of my sensors on my windows, and they wanted to charge me to have somebody come out and deal with it, when their people were the ones that put them in. The rep tried to talk me through how to change the battery in the window sensors. I said, “This is your responsibility, not mine.” The system runs fine. I'm just not happy that they treat their customers this way. I shouldn't have to pay for somebody to come and check something if I'm having a problem. Also, I have to go through a ton of menus in order to talk to somebody. That's inconvenient.

    I like that it sends me alerts if there's somebody in the driveway or out in the front yard. I don't that the system doesn't record for more than two minutes.
