    I've been having an ADT system for our business since 2000. ADT was reasonable and everything seemed in order legally. There's only one thing that I don't like about ADT and that's commitment and early termination. I understand that we could transfer it elsewhere, but if we're only flipping one home once a year and we sell it, we've been lucky that we have been able to either sell it to the owners. The early termination is taken out of my account, and if they end up signing the new contract, I get my money back for early termination. I wish the commitment years would be fewer though.

    But I like that they call all the time and things are taken care of, how they should. We had an incident at our other business. It was good that we have that service. To top it off, the police did an excellent job. It was a really good bundle of how the process was done. It was really nice. I'm a little scared because I've heard that once they call the police, we might get a bill. I don't even know if that's true, because that was the first time. But as of right now, I haven't received anything. It's been up quite some time. But that was a really nice experience.

    I was a subscriber before on our older home and when we moved to this new house, we got ADT again because we had a good experience with them. Unfortunately, we got the system installed about a month ago but I'm still waiting for the other stuff like the video camera and the garage module to be installed. I tried contacting the rep that I signed up with and he had me talk to his supervisor. That was two weeks ago and she said that she was going to credit the account for the month that they initiated the contract, even though we haven't had the full service running. She told me that she was going to contact a more experienced technician to install the video camera and the garage module but they haven't reached out to me yet to schedule that. I get that they're busy, but giving the customer a timeframe or a callback would be nice.

    A guy named Bill was the last guy who came to my house to do the work. He was very smart and he knew what he was doing. We still have some glitches and he said the problem was the system can't handle it. I said I knew that a long time ago. The house is too big. But he was very good. I would rate him very highly in front of anybody.

    Just recently, I got royally kicked in the butt and screwed by ADT. Never showing up, never being on time, canceling appointments not notifying me, sending workers to the job that weren't qualified to do it, sending people over here at 3:00 in the afternoon to do a job that's supposed to take two days' work, then turn around canceling me, say I canceled my service with ADT at my personal house. Because the guy who dispatched didn't want to get in trouble that he screwed up and he never sent anybody. It's bad. And It's frustrating that every time they try to reschedule, they give me three weeks apart every time.

    It's scheduling, they're overbooked and don't have enough installers that know how to work the Pulse system. They didn't get it from anybody else. The manager tried to cover his butt down here. I called up one morning, they were supposed to be here at 8:00 to 12:00. I called, the manager said, "No, they are supposed to be there from 12:00 to 4:00." I called back, waiting at my house at 1:00. "He's not here yet." "Oh, he called in sick." I know their guys call in sick 6:00 in the morning. I'm not stupid. I have a construction company. I run my people. But if I ran my company like ADT ran theirs, I would be bankrupt. Their service is terrible. They treated me like garbage. Especially when you call up and ask for the district manager to call me back, and I wait two days, he doesn't call, then I call again and put another call in for the district manager and he still doesn't call me back.

    The Pulse system should not be sold on a house over 2,500 square feet because it doesn't handle that many cameras. It only goes up to 10. It does not synchronize with the other WiFi in the house because it only has one transmitter and one repeater, and ADT can't put a second repeater on it. My house is 6,200 square feet. Why did they put that system in my house? And it cost me 2,400 for the system. I didn't get it for free.

    The sales rep answered all of our questions. We have dogs and we knew that the motion sensor wouldn't be feasible so we asked if it was possible to interchange the motion sensor with something else and he gave us all of our options, which was great. Also, our tech was amazing. He went above and beyond to get everything installed and set up for us. The only issue is one of our window sensors may be slightly off. Other than that, I like the system. We have a motion sensor that we run in externally and I like that all the sensors are labeled instead of it going off and be like, “A door or a window is open.” It actually tells us which one and it goes to my app.

    I'll make this quick. I bought my house in October 2020. It took me until now to realize how badly ADT screwed me over. They charge me $81 a month for essentially a touchscreen and 3 wireless door sensors and a doorbell... Vivint offered me wayyyyyy more for less. I want to buy out my ADT contract that is, 5 years by the way, and they informed me that it would be $2283 for the buyout. I didn't like that because the amount I owe isn't worth what I got in terms of service or product. But, I was willing to pay out of my pocket so that I didn't have to do business with ADT ever again.

    The way I got the amount for the buyout was calling. I asked "What is the TOTAL cost of my buyout?" 2 separate reps on two separate phone calls said $2283. The only reason I called 2 times, is because the first person I spoke with never sent me an emailed copy of my Contract like I asked for. Then, I call today to cancel and I am informed that the previous two reps conveniently didn't tell me that it will cost $2852 because of something they left out... I was willing to pay $2283 to cancel but not $2852. This is where it gets good... The reason I wanted to leave ADT is because they SABOTAGED MY SYSTEM.

    I have a new home with a prebuilt very expensive setup with window sensors and all. I wanted to use my house's existing setup that came with the new house build, and ADT assured me they can use the house's built setup and add the screen and doorbell camera (keep in mind I am using ADT because I had no idea who else to use). THEY SNIPPED MY WIRES TO MY WHOLE SYSTEM. My system is not usable any longer (I have pictures to prove). Then, they installed their products and put staples on my walls with exposed wires... All in all, I got ripped off.

    After getting ripped off and seeing what they did to me, I was STILL willing to pay $2283 to cancel (that is how bad I wanted away from them). Now I want to press in because of what ADT's response was to me when I brought this to their attention. They told me that they assumed I snipped my own wires in my house. Not only do they overcharge, not update notes, install crappy equipment to match the crappy install, they also accuse me of doing something like that. I WANT TO NEVER BE AFFILIATED WITH ADT AGAIN!!! They didn't have anything to say when I asked them how they thought I felt. I get the people I spoke to, this is just their jobs right? Who wants to work for a company like this. It took 2 minutes to read this, please take 10 seconds to share this and post to ADT on social media so that nobody else goes through what I have.

    When I called up and talked to on the phone with ADT about six weeks in advance and let them know that we had a closing date on the 22nd and be moving, the person told me to leave the equipment there. But when I went to visit the house, I had a choice. I could have taken my equipment. Now, I ended up with this $11 equipment bill and I've lost my equipment. The other people called me because they started messing with the system, and it went off.

    ADT called me and asked if I kept the system alive for 30 days. I told them no as we were out of there. They asked what they would do, if call the police, or hit an emergency for the police. I told them it was up to them. No matter what they do, it will be wrong because they can't communicate with the people. The people will be upset because it's a false alarm, and ADT couldn't check, and because they didn't check if there really was something, it could be possibly a liable lawsuit. I've insured doctors' hospitals, and malpractice coverage, so I thought that was a big mistake by the company because they're open to liable and they should just confirm that the client is leaving and turn it off.

    Then before, I was paying $32 a month. Now, I'm paying $58 and I have the same amount of charges. I've been a customer since 2012, but I'm not getting credit for that. It was a jump from 32 to 58. It should have been a little more gentle. It should be something in the middle there. The only thing I did was trade two doors for one motion 'cause they were supposed to equalize out. But ADT does everything we wanted to do. I wanted an older system. My wife and I don't like the touchscreens because of reasons of privacy. Our seller was nice enough to get one of the older screens for us, the punch button ones, and I appreciated that very much. The people who came were great. But the person who gave me the ill advice of not taking my equipment with me has cost me some money.

    One point of disappointment was the techs couldn't get my smart thermostat to work. It might have something to do with the wiring here in the home. I'm renting. It would be nice if that worked. But I like the convenience of being able to remotely arm and disarm the system, and lock and unlock doors. I see that ADT has done some upgrades to the app’s functionality since I'm at my last location, like notifications to let me know, "Hey, you just left home and you didn't arm the system." So, remind me to do that and things of that nature. I'm a fan.

    We also had a home in Florida. I went down there and called ADT. The person came early. Whoever comes early to my house, I respect. And he was incredibly nice. I love those people. Now I understand why my mom chose ADT. Since we own a restaurant, we weren't able to add a secondary camera immediately because the technician usually doesn't bring extra cameras on, which is understandable. But in Florida, I was able to get another glass sensor up and running. So, that's good. I love technology, so I feel like Batman every time I'm going home to Florida. It's very simple and it's awesome.

    The only problem that I had was in the beginning, ADT had another third-party company they were dealing with, that did a bunch of errors in the beginning when they were setting up my system. Then one thing that I don't like about the cameras is the whole setup. If I want it on top of a corner in my house, I have to plug it in in a plug, which will be at the bottom, that I have to run the wire all the way through the top. They have long wires and it looks ugly ‘cause I have to plug it in. But then everything's been good. It gives me peace of mind when I'm away from home that if somebody enters my house, I'm gonna know immediately, and I'll have protection.

    The tech was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and if I had a question he didn't have an answer to, he picked up the phone and called someone. However, there are a couple of things I dislike and I'm thinking about switching. Anytime I go near my kitchen, the security system makes an announcement saying that there's a glass break in the kitchen, but I'm standing right here. The other thing, too, is they still have the previous owners’ details on file, which is problematic.

    For example, I was too slow to get to the alarm and disarm it, so the police ended up coming out. They were very nice, but they said, “What's your name?” They also said, “That's not the name we have on file, though." They gave me the name they had on file and I said, “Oh, that was the previous owner.” This is weird because they just came and did an install and they've already sent me a bill.

    ADT should update names as soon as they receive the change of information. The seller, because they're the ones who were in contact, told me they had to have a screaming match with someone at ADT because they didn’t disconnect the previous cameras. They said, “Look, if we were psycho, we could be spying on this new family."

    ADT is just a very well-known brand and I wanted to work with them because they have a deeper experience. I didn't want a budget brand. However, I felt a bit misled about the costs that I would experience. I can afford it but I paid more than double of what I had expected per month. I didn't understand the equipment that I had to purchase. And I had specifically asked my first salesperson about that.

    The system works just fine. I'm happy with the features. I don't think about it very often because I shouldn't have to do that. However, there are a couple of frustrating things about it. It loses connection to Wi-Fi which happens all the time. The computer disconnects and reconnects. But it beeps loudly so that wakes me up. My wife and I wake up very early. And it sucks that we are woken up in the middle of the night by our alarm because it lost Wi-Fi. If somebody opens a door, it chimes. It's a cool feature. But since I have to keep the volume turned down so I can sleep at night, I don't get that feature. I'm an engineer, and the fact that I can't disable that Wi-Fi beeping notification, it’s a lazy programming decision.

    The other issue is it's really hard to get technical support. I have to schedule somebody to call me, and it's weird. I messed it up last time. I was supposed to call them. But I had to schedule a couple of days out in advance to get technical support. It was for that beeping issue. Other than that, I liked the guy that came and installed the system. He was very knowledgeable. He had great solutions. He helped me not to overspend, not to put in more than I needed. Also, we feel more secure. It's nice to be able to set that when we go to bed and especially when we leave the house. I have it configured to buzz my watch just if a door opens up and that's cool.

    After careful research I recently went with ADT. I told the sales guy that I needed to keep the monthly fee at $45 or less. After some negotiation he got me to $44.99. I pointed to a line item in the final quote that was an additional $2-3 more a month. The sales guy promised me that it was just an error in the computer quote system that he couldn't override and that I would be billed $44.99 a month. The first bill came and I was billed the extra amount. I called the sales guy who agreed it was an error. I didn't hear back after a few days so I called him again and he admitted they were now billing that fee - and had been doing so for the past 3 months before I was quoted a different fee. He said it was his fault but there was nothing he could do.

    This is like buying a house and then being told they are tacking on a few thousand to the final sale price after closing. Complete garbage that will cost me an extra $100 or so (IF this fee doesn't go up) over the course of the contract. I will say that the installation guy was amazing, and the equipment and app seem good so far. But going back on the pricing merits two stars for now as we are only 1 month in.

Everything seems to be working fine, so far.

    I got a little frustrated last week. The Wi-Fi went down in the house, which I didn't even realize, so the system looked like it was going crazy there. Maybe it was only 10 minutes and it was back. So, I called ADT's office. I realized what happened. The tech would show up here at the time, then the Wi-Fi came back on. So, everything was fine.

A lot of customers have a problem with that. Reaching the bell, reaching this or that. Other than that, I like the fact that when my door or something, ADT calls me right away.

    The tech that ADT sent out to do the install was a very polite young man. He very knowledgeable and I was happy with the install. However, when I went to the sill and lifted up one of my windows, the sensors came off. So I had to call in and have a repair. Another individual came out. He was a senior tech, so he knew what was going on and why it happened. Evidently, the young man didn't put it on correctly with the correct type of glue, but he put it back on. After he left and put it back on, I went to lift my window and the sensor came off again. I was able to put it back on and I didn't have to call them. Since then, I haven't opened a window because I don't want that to happen again. But they did well and were very kind.

    Aside from that, I have two windows that are on this side of my home that have nothing on them and I would like to ask ADT, as a loyalty, to put two sensors on those two windows. They're off to the side and you can't really see them that much but they're easy for someone to use those windows to get in. And the reason why I want to ask them as a loyalty is because I have two accounts. My husband and my children are at the one location, and I'm here because of my disability. So I had to come somewhere where it's worked for me. I don't feel safe with those two windows not being sensored. I can't see them that well unless I come out to the room that they're in and look there. Other than that, I looked at the system of the place where my husband and sons go and it's a lot better than the new one they installed here. The one that I have in that home is an older system and I had them for 15 years. But what I have here works and it does what it's supposed to.

    I liked the reviews that I got offline. I'm a USAA customer as well, and they offered a discount. The installation went relatively smooth. There were some price differences between what the tech brought me and what the salesperson quoted me. Also, I asked him about some discounts and he seemed a little unsure of what he was doing. The installation part was fine, but the invoice side of it, he seemed inexperienced or a little awkward about the interaction. Other than that, it's a good system so far. The cameras have good clarity and wide field of view. And I like that I can activate and deactivate from my phone.

    Vultures and deceitful. Services are sub par for what you pay. We moved before contract term and have to pay balance of months remaining, or transfer to your new location. They don’t care if it’s a van down by the river. You’d be better off spending $700 initial startup with Simplisafe or Ring, own your equipment and no contract. Alarm service is low tech for the money they charge. Very expensive. Never Ever again will we consider ADT.

    ADT is right on par with the price point. If it were any more expensive, it would probably be an issue. When the salesmen came out, they still played that old school haggling game. They came with this insane price and I said it was not gonna work. They said they would call their boss and see if they could get the price down to X amount. They would ask what you think was fair and then, you would say a price and they would say they could make that work. That to me is probably the most annoying thing. But the app is legit and it’s awesome. They have a separate fire monitoring service that you can purchase such as a smoke detector and they can link it to the device. But it’s an extra charge. For the price point that they're at, they should offer that as part of the base package, which would be much more appealing.

    When I first got ADT, I went with the guy that worked with the corporate. And then he came to the house. The house was under construction, and he couldn't do anything because they still needed to paint. Said he would come back, which he did. My husband was there. And he made another appointment with him. I couldn't get ahold of him when I tried to. So I called the regular ADT and they helped me out. Which I didn't get my $100 back. And I was supposed to get a bunch of discounts, but I didn't. They just took my money and ran.

    I'm not happy when I have to call and say something is wrong with my alarm and they have to put me on hold for 20 minutes and wait. That doesn't make sense then. And they want me to look on the internet. If I'm scared and panicking, what am I supposed to do? Get on the internet and try to confuse myself with it or what? I'm not happy with ADT.

    I really enjoyed talking with the sales rep. We got a little bit confused about how much we were trying to install and all the discounts and stuff. Some stuff got a little bit left off the original quote and it kind of confused the pricing. I was originally going to do doorbells and cameras and stuff like that and wound up with just normal stuff because I learned that if I ever decide to not go with ADT, the cameras wouldn't work at all and I don't want to have to buy new equipment all over again.

    The technician that installed the equipment helped me sort out the little bit of mess that was made trying to communicate what stuff to get and what stuff not to. He was very helpful. He ended up price matching close to what we had originally agreed on, even though we swapped stuff up. Also, he told me about the Shock Sensors for the windows that detect vibration within a 5-foot radius, which the sales rep didn't tell me about. I think more people would be attracted to those Shock Sensors if the rep told everybody what they were and described them.

    Another thing the sales rep didn't tell me is that ADT's doorbells required 24 continuous volts. I was originally gonna get two doorbells but when the tech got here, he said we can only do one. He said I might get lucky and have two, but we won't know till we install them and I was not gonna take that $300 or $200 chance. But I don't blame anybody because it's a lot of information to try and reply to somebody over the phone. Overall, once everything got sorted out, we love the system. I was able to get it set up where I get notifications on my phone.

    There was a little problem, maybe a misunderstanding, of what was covered. And when the tech came out, he said, "Yeah. The guy didn't put enough things you need. You have way more entrances than what's put on the information." I assumed there was a sale. He didn't put everything in there because of trying to get into that sale bracket. Also, I wish ADT told me ahead of time that it would be necessary to get certain things installed if I didn't have Wi-Fi set up. Because I would have pushed it back a little later. My internet was not on yet so the tech wasn't able to do the camera and the doorbell. So, if I wanted to get those in, I'd have to have someone come back out and install those. Other than that, the system uses some sensors that were already in the house. One of them went off, and it was because one window was taped. So, that scared me. Other than that, it works.

    The technician that installed my ADT system seemed very knowledgeable and professional. He showed everything as far as the equipment. Initially, ADT's customer service was great. When I originally called to look into ADT's service, the gal that helped me scheduled everything. I had another gal rep go meet me at my home. Then we scheduled the appointment for installation. I didn't receive any information on when the installation would take place. I later received a phone call from the rep telling me that my appointment had been cancelled, and we couldn't figure out what it was. When she threw out the city, Rancho Cucamonga, I said, “Oh, is that where your office is? Did they maybe make a mistake? Human error?” She said no and then she gave me a street address. I said, “Wait a second. That's my sister's home address. What does my sister have to do with this?”

    It's a completely different city. It's the same provider but different service. So, I believe the error was because I am an emergency contact to my sister. Maybe they linked her account to my account. My sister and I didn't discuss it. That's not something we would talk about. That's her home. That's my home. She received an email letting her know about the upcoming services. She asked my brother-in-law, “Hey, did you upgrade our system?” He said, “No.” She later received a text message for her upcoming appointment. She called them back to tell them she didn't have anything scheduled. It was then that they canceled my appointment, and I didn't go to work that day. I was waiting for the technician to arrive, and I later found out that no one was showing up.

    That kind of bothered me. I don't understand why they would link my account to my sister's. We don't have the same name. She has a married name. I still have my maiden name. I was talking to my sister and I asked her, “Did you get anything from ADT?” She said, “Yeah. It was really odd. It actually freaked me out because they were sending everything to me as if I were getting services. They knew all of my information. They provided everything. To be honest with you, I thought somebody was setting us up, trying to burglarize our home, having access to the codes.” She already has PTSD from being a nurse with COVID patients. So, she didn't need that. It got squared away. And now the sales gal who went told me, “I'm going to see what I can do to accommodate both you and your sister because of everything that happened.”

    The other thing was we used my boyfriend's card for the initial payment during the process. Because services were cancelled, he had to cancel his card because there was some fraudulent activity. So, I told my rep, “We need to cancel.” She said, “I'm going to credit the card back.” I said, “No. The card isn't good anymore.” He was already charged. They recharged my card, and he has not been reimbursed when I asked for them to mail him a check. So overall, in the beginning, everything was fine, and now I'm not happy with what’s happening.

    I've had other security systems and ADT is a lot more money per month than I was paying before. The system that I inherited has two cameras - one out the driveway in the front of the house and the other one is in the garage - and I don't know what those cameras do. They're not monitored, they don't sense motion, and they don't let me know if the cameras are picking up anything. I can arm and disarm the system remotely through my phone and I can look at the cameras. But unless I pull up the app and look at the cameras, it doesn't tell me anything about prowlers in the front or whatever.

    Also, none of my smoke detectors are hooked up or linked with the ADT system. They said I have to pay extra for that, on top of what I'm paying now, so I decided not to do anything. If the house burns down, I wouldn't know about it and there are no motion detectors in the house. The only thing that ADT is covering right now is the two cameras, four doors that they tell me when they open and close, and 14 window units that let me know if there's any impact to the windows. I'm still getting used to it, but I don't see how I'm getting my money's worth at all.

There were a few alterations he suggested based on when he actually visited my house. We got the changes done and I like those.

    Everybody at ADT seemed to have been pretty nice to me. I like the company and I was satisfied with the system because I could turn it off and on. But I'm a little upset about not getting my battery. I supposedly got a battery when my system was set up at my new residence but I have not received the battery yet. It's for the panel on the wall. When they set it up, I was needing to get a battery. The technician said, "You have low battery." He thought he had one, but he didn't. When I called them and asked about the batteries, the rep told me me it was gonna cost me $90-some to get it put in. I don't think it's right for me to pay for it. I'm getting a new system put up. They should've had all of that combined together. I can't even turn my alarm on right now and I'm afraid to try to use it. I have a guy going in there painting every day, and all he can do is just lock my door. I don't have any security right now. I need to talk to ADT and ask them what's going on. I'm going to have to tell them I'm gonna go to another company if they can't work with me.

    ADT is a hit or miss. But they try to solve and rectify the situation and I give them credit for that. This last time around, customer service did a great job. But I had an experience before where I went to cancel the service and had the worst experience with a customer service person. I tweeted about my dissatisfaction and that caused a lot of people to start calling me. The stuff that they offered was a good deal. They definitely tried to correct the wrongs of the service that I received and they did a good job with that so I applaud them. They're not always gonna hit it right but it's a matter of how they make it right if they don't.

    The sales rep was good. But the biggest thing was that I was told initially that we could use the hardwired system in the house. But that turned out not to be true. So the price was probably double what the initial quote was. Also, there was some problem with the initial device ADT installed. It didn't work for the first week and a half. It only started working today when the tech came back out. When it works, it seems good.

    I looked at a couple of security companies, especially the ones that you have to install yourself. To me, that peace of mind wouldn't necessarily be there if I did it myself. I also like the idea that the system is connected to our local sheriff's department, fire department, and EMF. I didn't mind spending a little bit more for that. The day of the system installation was a busy day for us but the installer was able to work around our schedule as best as he could. Since I was at the hospital, he showed my father-in-law the system features and my father-in-law showed them to me.

    We use the system every day and it gives me peace of mind, especially at the moment when I'm elsewhere and my wife is at home with the baby. I can arm the system through the app and disarm it with the panel. I like the doorbell feature and we’re very pleased with it. I like the quick exit feature too. I am able to take the trash out really quick then come back in. That's nice. Overall, things are going really well.

    I liked how promptly and quickly ADT came to my mom's house. They had a technician in our area. So he came and sized it up. He made sure of what we needed and it all got installed. It was very easy. She’s using the keychain idea to arm and disarm the system. I like that too. Recently, I put in a system for my mom and the salesman was very kind. The first installer came out Tuesday but the window glass things did not work. Then another person came out and he installed two that did work. Early on, I told ADT that when the alarm goes off, I want my system to call the police first and not me. But when I called the 1-800 ADT number yesterday, the lady said, “Well, no, we've got your phone.” She had a hard time understanding what I wanted to do. I said, “Ma'am, all I want to do is that if that alarm goes off at my mother's, I want the police to be summoned first. And then, you call me. And then, if you want to call my mom as a third contact, that's fine.”

    Overall, I like ADT. We've had the service for 25 years. The batteries are fairly easy. The hardest thing is that the system that I have in my house is an older system. I've got kind of the older and newer motion detectors. The older one is a little more finicky, trying to take it apart. But the newer ones are a lot easier. The batteries last a long time. I'm the happiest when I know that when I leave the house and if something happens, somebody is coming. I had accidentally set my alarm off and the police came. I forgot to get a hammer and then I went downstairs and raised the garage door. Then there was a high-pitch sound and I realized the alarm was on. Before I knew it, the police were here.

    The reps at ADT are very professional. They listen to my needs. The last technician that came to take care of the glass breakers in my mom's house, I asked him a couple of scenarios there. He said, “Well, that's a good point.” He said, “Let's do this. Let's put one thing there, like a glass breaker, we'll put a motion sensor here. And that way, it's got your mom covered on that back-end of the house.” I told him I liked that. I've recommended ADT over the years to several people. There's a lot of outfits out there, but we’ve been happy with ADT. They're nice and neat. I like how they matched the color. Like we got white trim and they got white, and they also got brown if you got wood. That's a nice thing to have. They're not noticeable, so I like that. All is good as long as it works. So being concealable is great.

I got through the whole process in a matter of 15 minutes. It was two customer service reps that I was on the phone with, and they were awesome. The system could be a little pricey, but it's also the name brand that you're paying for. I like that I can control everything from the phone, and add users, and do whatever needs to be done from the phone.

I've got two younger kids at home, and he took some extra steps on some pieces to put some electrical tape around things. He was like, “I don't know that this would ever happen. If they put their fingers all the way back up behind this thing, they might be able to get a little shock or something.” He was very attentive to that kind of stuff. So, that was really nice.

    He kept asking if we had any more questions, and he walked us through the app. We had the app before, but it was a different app. This new one seems to be a little more high-tech or a little better, maybe even a little more user-friendly.

    Brandon was the guy that got us signed up with ADT and he was awesome. It was super quick. We talked about ADT and how long he’s been working for the company. When sales reps come out, they really just try and do their job. I’m in customer service myself so I’m all about getting to know my customers. Brandon was very engaging and he wanted to know what I needed to be done in my home. That was really cool. My mom was at my house when Brandon came. He went to my mom's house too and did her quote. I love Brandon. When a gentleman came to do the installation of my system, he was really nice and informative. He explained a lot of things including about the panels and how to connect the thermostat and everything from my phone.

    I have heard things about ADT and how a lot of customers really don't like it. But it was a great experience for me. I work from home and with the system, I have the ability to see things. When somebody comes to the door, it notifies you and that's even before they ring the doorbell. I was upstairs in my house yesterday and I saw someone at 10 o'clock at night. It turned out a bug landed on the doorbell. The system is so sensitive. I love it.

    My sister has Vivint and when her system was being installed, the rep was trying to sell it to me. Like ADT, Vivint runs a credit check. But with Vivint, if your credit is not up to par then you’re paying for your equipment upfront. With ADT, you pay a deposit and you’ll still be paying for the equipment that you need over time. Vivint's system isn't good either even though it's cheap. Also, ADT is has a quick alert response while Vivint is not quick and alert. I need quick and alert because I work from home now. If my sister comes across the doorbell, I can see her while I'm at work. If someone is behind her, I can see everything. I can go back and replay it too. You can't do that with Vivint.

I asked ADT to come back and get all their stuff. They told me I gotta give them $3,000 and I told them that their guy lied about the cameras so I wouldn't pay it. Most of the technicians that ADT has already know what you got when they see your Wi-Fi system.

    I had an awful experience with ADT. We went with ADT because it's a reputable name. They had a good price plan. We were looking for something for when I was away that my wife would feel a little bit more secure. We've had ADT for a couple of years now since 2017 and we've moved it from one home to another home. That has been a complete disaster. For about the last year, I've been paying for two houses even though we moved our service. They didn't capture it right. After multiple calls, somehow that translated that I wanted to cancel the service at my current residence. Not sure how that happened, and it wasn't even what we had wanted to do. So, I got hit with a $1,300 early termination fee.

    So, that was when I engaged with Aaron, a local field rep, and he's been able to help the situation by getting the bill correct. But in order to do that, I had to sign a new contract with ADT and pay a reactivation fee of a system that I never really terminated. I got a text message from him that the $309 credit that I'm supposed to be getting because of all the overpayments was sent out to me on 7/29, but I have not received anything. But in the physical service that we are getting, which is the security monitoring, it's been fine.

He went over the different things as far as the system was concerned to make sure I was comfortable before he left. That was very helpful.

    I really like that the wall unit is easy to maneuver than the past one that ADT had. I like the pad on this one too as it's more user-friendly than the old model. Before, I used to always trip the alarm system for some reason. By the time I got out and I had to run back in, it had tripped the system. With this system I have now, I hit the button that says I'm leaving out and put my code in. Everything's been working out fine. I haven't had any problem since then.

    The only thing that could be improved is with the billing. For a minute, I had three units because I was selling one house. From that house, I was transferring the services over to this house.

Because they were not able to do camera installs.

And they never applied the discount to my charges. This is about a week now. And they told me because I already signed the paperwork, there's no discount. I said, “That's irrelevant. I've been a customer there for 20 years. I moved five times.” They give me discounts. It's an incentive to stay with them. Because I could go through multiple choices of other security companies. So what they do is, because I stay with them, they give me a deal to stay with them type of thing. They didn't do that this time, even though they said they would.

    Normally, the service was always excellent. I love the system. It’s easy to use. And because of their name brand. That's why I stay with them all these years. But it seems that recently, the company has changed. They're doing a lot of advertisement on the TV. And they’re always great. But it seems that very recently, there's something lagging. There's a definite change recently with the exceptional customer service they used to have. It seems like it went downhill this last experience so far.

    To my knowledge, ADT was a reliable and okay place, so I called them. The company guy called, and they sent a salesman. He was knowledgeable and a very nice guy. Then they sent this guy to install this stuff, and it was a mess. He was here all day long. This house isn’t a $100,000 house, it’s a $1,000,000 house. He took my old stuff, which I understood, replaced it with stuff that left holes in the walls. He did not have equipment with him that he needed. I told him, “Look, this alarm system and fire has to work. My grandkids will live with me. They’re going two days after me to Aruba. I’m leaving tomorrow for a week.” I had no security system the whole time. They used the excuse that, “Oh, there was an electric shortage.” I have a backup generation. So, the stuff still is hanging where I left all the junk, and it’s still not working.

    They were supposed to come here the day that I came home. It was this past Monday. They never called. So, I called ADT. I was put on hold with various people for two hours. Finally, I got so disgusted, I hung up the phone. This morning, this gentleman called me and I told him there was no way in hell I would ever trust ADT with all this stuff I've been through. I was shocked. They left me unprotected. They didn't even have the equipment to put it up that day. It was a horrendous experience.

    The ADT sales rep came out to the house, and he talked to us about the security system. We didn't really notice until he left, and he really didn't go around and look at our house. He told us some things that the installer told us a lot differently like I had to buy more equipment. The rep told me I did not need contact things on my windows. The installer said, "Yes, you do. If they're at ground level, like, you need to have something on those windows." The sales rep said that he thought that just the glass break would be all right. The installer said, "Yeah. Glass break is okay if they break the glass. If they jimmy that lock, and they open up, it's not going to go off." So, that meant I had to buy a bunch of new stuff for the windows. I don't think the rep was that knowledgeable.

    The first time, the salesman came to sell me all this stuff. After that, they came to install. The salesman was there too. Everybody was nice. They had a little trouble with the wiring of my house. Then, I was very disappointed because ADT kept calling me saying that there were tampers. It was stressful because I was in the middle of a move. I got calls every day that there was a tamper, that there was this, that was that. I wanted to pull out the system completely, but then they sent some young kid in there who knew what he was doing and fixed it. I love the system because it's not saying that it's tampered.

    Chris came here and told me they could do two things for me. And when the installer came, he could only do one which was the inside. He said he couldn't do the outside. I'm disappointed in that. I wanted a camera that looks at my car, covers my car at night, that when somebody comes along and decides they're gonna put scratches on it, I know who did it. I just wanted the camera to capture that person doing it so I could refer it to the police. I wanted the inside for when I'm away. So I keep the thing off most of the time right now, because I'm here most of the time.

    Other than the internet might not be strong enough, that’s the only issue I know. But the installer did something else I'm not happy with. He decided that I needed protection on a cellar door. It’s never used. There's no way anybody can get to that door. He did that to make up for not being able to install outside. The system is okay. But it's not what I really wanted. I got half of what I wanted. The clarity is fine with the camera. I moved it so that I could see what's going on outside, and it works fine.

    I liked ADT because that's what we had when I was a young girl growing up and that is who my parents have now and that is who they feel safe with. We were moving to a new area that we're not familiar with, and I wanted to get a provider. I called some other companies, and I didn't really feel comfortable with them. We had a previous deal with ADT but because I had to go out of work, we had to discontinue the services. When we decided to move this time, I said, “Well, the only thing they can do is tell me no.” So, I called and I asked to speak to a supervisor.

    I was connected to a supervisor who told me, “Well, ma'am, you have a previous deal, and it's already in collection.” I said, “Is there anything that we can do about it? Because I really would rather be with ADT. There are other companies that I could go with. But I have children, and school hasn't started back, and we moved to an area I'm not familiar with. And I will prefer ADT.” She said, “Well, let me see. I have to call you back.” When she called back, she said, “I did speak to someone, and they said that if you agree to pay 390 some dollars and pay it today, we can settle the bill. And we can restart your services.” I said I didn't have a problem with that.

    I also asked, “Well, when is the soonest that they could come out?” She said, “Well, they could come out on the 2nd of August.” I said, “That is actually a little bit further out than I would like, but I don't mind. That's fine.” I had another company tell me they could come a little bit earlier, but I just didn't feel comfortable with it. I asked the lady how I should pay and she said I had to pay with the automated service. She said, “What I’m gonna do is it’s gonna go through a little process, and she's gonna ask you your information. And then once you're done, it'll connect back to me.” When she connected me to the automated lady, it started to static. I heard her a little bit when she was saying some things. Then the phone hung up.

    To myself, I was like that may have been a scam because she did say she was calling back and the number that called back didn’t say ADT. It just was a number. The lady did call me back. She said, “Let's try it again.” We did and I paid it with my debit card, and it went through. The lady said, “We’re okay. We got you already. It shows that it went through. And the guy, he’ll give you a call the morning of. And so, they’ll give you a call the morning of.” So, I just chalked it up to I had paid it, and that was that. So, after that, I thought that everything was okay. I just told her I wanted the basic plan because I didn’t wanna be in a position again that we will not be able to pay for the services. I just wanted something to protect the children while we are at work.

    The guy came and he did a wonderful job. He was professional. His name was Connor. Everything was fine up until I was calling the other day to see when the due date was to pay. A lady named Brandy said, “You have a balance due. So, how are you prepared to pay that today?” I said, “I shouldn’t have a balance. Actually, I shouldn't have a balance. I just got the services.” She said, “Well, you have a 900 and some odd dollar balance, and so you need to pay that. You can pay it either today or whatever, but it needs to be paid.” I said, “We just got the service, as I said. Is that normal protocol for as soon as we get it, we have to pay it off?” She said, “Well, this is from a previous thing. This is from a previous address.”

    I said, “Do you show that I paid 390 something dollars?” She said, “Yeah. I see $390, and I see 144. But it doesn't say what it was for, but the balance is still 900 and something. Then you have another balance for 900 and something. But that's for the equipment. This other bill is for before.” I said, “Well, you don't have anything itemized showing what it's for?” She was like, “No.” I said, “I'm not gonna speak with you anymore. Can I speak with someone else like a supervisor or manager, someone that is more professional and can give me some answers?” She was like, “If I can make use of somebody, they’re gonna have to call you back ‘cause we can't do that, ‘cause we work from home.” I said, “I’ll just have to call back.” So, I hung up and called the number.

    It took forever for someone to answer it. I just kept getting transferred from person to person. I stayed on the phone the other day at least four hours altogether, and nobody could give me any answers. So, I feel like I was not treated well. The phone kept hanging up and then they told me that there were some connection issues on their behalf.

    My husband had called to get a doorbell camera and I told him, “Cancel it, because we don't even know what we're being charged for and how we're being charged.” I thought I had paid that off and I settled that amount. With ADT, I would have never expected this type of issues. They've always been professional and courteous and then able to at least show me an itemized deal. So, I was more disappointed than I was upset. I'm very dissatisfied at this point because in less than a month I've already paid $450. If I would have known that I was gonna have to pay that much and then I still have a previous balance of 1,000, then I would have probably just went with another company and settle for 600 and had to pay it off.

    Since purchasing 4 surveillance cameras and a two-year contract in September, I have had constant difficulty with the surveillance, both live camera and recordings of clips. The ADT cameras stop recording and also stop working live as well. I have complained about this to ADT customer service. They do the same thing over and over expecting a different result which is to reboot the system, send out technicians to troubleshoot and fix the problem. And it continues to happen over and over. There have been two events that I wished to have captured on camera recordings, but the ADT cameras and recording system failed. ADT has a very ineffective camera surveillance and recording system. Per the technicians, my internet is fast enough, and clear up my memory space each time. They can't find anything wrong.

    I have also asked to get out of the contract because of the ADT's system's inefficiency. I have been refused to get out of my contract. I asked this prior to my 6 month money back guarantee.. A technician came out just 4 days ago AGAIN and deleted ALL my recordings for the sake of running out of recording space and 2 days later So, I still can not see out of 3 /4 cameras for live view and only ONE has an occasional recording. So as of now I am paying for services that aren't being rendered by ADT. I feel I'm being robbed and stolen from by force.

    ADT is unwilling to satisfy and resolve my complaint. They ask me to reach out and call in, I have, about 10 or more times...In the end, don't help and force me to keep in a contract... I'll apology but otherwise nothing is ever done differently. Isn't that the definition of insanity? To do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result? I have reached out to corporate and corporate has not returned my calls. I have escalated it several times, upper corporate department has never reached out to me to fix my problem or give me a refund. I have paid well over $1,000 for an ineffective system and pay monthly almost $60 a service that I am not receiving. ADT has not resolved this. And for this I give ADT a ZERO.

We had one minor change, and the installation group was able to handle that very quickly and easily. We're still learning about the system, how to use the controls, and what themes we can set up. Being able to have the panel and access to the panel and having remote access on my phone and my wife's phone is a good feature. Hopefully, I will be able to spend some time and get to know it better. But as I'm still employed, by the time I get home every night, the last thing I wanna do is play with an alarm panel. Overall, everything seems to be very straightforward and I feel comfortable with it.

    The sense of well-being for my wife, since she's disabled and having a way of monitoring her and checking on her was the main reason I did the ADT system. We live in a gated community, so I'm not too worried about security. I made one of the camera, the breakage, the smoke alarm, carbon monoxide, so I could check on my wife. If she dropped something, if she falls, the breakage alarm would go off and activate and notify me.

    We bought a new home in central Maine in October of 2018 and were solicited by ADT to install a security system. The costs for both the equipment and the monthly fee were shockingly high but we went ahead due to the promise of “exceptional customer service”. We have had nothing but problems since the beginning, from faulty smoke detectors that would just go off in the night to countless service calls where the technician never showed up. Now when we call we know our “soonest appointment” will be at least a month out and time after time, after being stood up, they immediately say, “Well you’re two hours from our home office.” Is this my fault or problem? They solicited me. Avoid them if you can. No one at ADT is held accountable and you will not have an advocate when the issues begin.

    Typical to large telecom companies, ADT is a large legacy company, and expensive. I replaced them with a DIY system from WYZE. There are many other alternative if you want to create your own system, and control it from your cell phone. I cancelled ADT yesterday, they have a one-month cancellation notice. I asked why, particularly when they claim to be high tech, and should be able to turn service off asap. "It's policy". I asked If I could return their equipment, they said, "I can keep it, it's mine." Thank you but what can I do with an outdated security system. I asked if they would remove the monitor that they glued inside my house. They said I should call a different number to see cost and schedule. Now I know why I cancelled.

    I just had ADT do an install on my home we just purchased that had an ADT system previously installed, we called to have them re-activate what was already installed. We had 4 separate house calls, 4 days I had to take time off work to be home for them to do the install. Every time they showed up, the previous rep's notes were not available and we had to start from scratch, including the first visit when the call center rep did not pass along accurate notes. Completely unorganized, unprofessional and disrespectful of our time, I had to take 4 half-days at my own work just to get this done.

    To top it all off, we financed our upfront expenses into our monthly expenses, only to have them charge us $740.00 anyways. Luckily I caught it and they cancelled the transaction but I won't have those funds available now for 3-5 days. All of this for a grand total of 2 cameras when we were initially thinking we'd get 5 because they couldn't get their systems to integrate and there seemed to be no communication whatsoever between their service reps at any level.

    Whenever our contract is up for renewal we will absolutely not be renewing their services and I would not have followed through if the previous owner did not already have it installed. I would absolutely not recommend this company to anyone, they are unorganized and have no clue from a business/systematic organizational level what they are doing. A professional company would have taken care of it on the first visit, charged me exactly what their contract stated, instead of taking $740.00 that I won't get back for a week, forcing me to take 4 days off work for constant appointments that they weren't on time for and were never prepared, and not following through on promises that the old system could be easily reactivated. Do not use ADT and I would never recommend them to anyone!

    There were two different installments and both persons were very nice, clean, and professional. It was just that the first person had a little bit more knowledge than the second one. We weren't getting the doorbell to work with our ADT app and the second one couldn't get it. He said there was only 70% Wi-Fi connectivity from the router to the doorbell as the router was a little far away. He had a Wi-Fi booster with him and we purchased it thinking that would help, and it still didn't. In the end, I was the one who figured out what was wrong and had to show him how to set up the doorbell on the app because he said he'd never seen that before. So, did I really need to pay that extra money for the Wi-Fi booster then or would it have worked without the extra money?

    My wife is the originator of our ADT contract. I was in the military and it made her feel safe while I was away. However, first impressions: the installation cost was extremely high compared to others, secondly the monthly charges were too much and the glass break was set off by stomping too loud in our kitchen. After-which we sold our home and we were advised we could transfer at no cost to us and we would receive new equipment. This is lie #1.

    The original equipment must be paid in full, didn’t know it wasn’t after the $400 some we paid for install. Even if paid in full you only receive a credit back monthly at their discretion and you must finance or buy new equipment outright if you do move. So in other words you're out not only the old equipment but the money used to pay it off as well. Kinda like buying a car, trading it in years later for a new one, and having ZERO to show for what equity you had on the trade…. Either way we paid the $900 some and had a $800 some credit. Delta of ($100)….

    We bought a new home about a year later and the $800 credit was still there. I, myself this time called and opened the account in my name being my wife couldn’t horse trade water in a desert. I opened the account, had it all set up and from the date of installation to the ** contract I knew they were trying to scam us. They lied about the monthly charge, contract stated $36 and the bill read $66. Hours upon hours on the phone and nothing settled. After all this the bill and the amount owed ended up in my wife’s name??? How!?!? She didn’t even sign up the second time, she wasn’t even on the second contract. So in other words my wife owes $900 some on something she never agreed to pay and I’m not on there period. I have the signed contract in my name, and my name only. I am seriously inquiring about a lawyer this time. I refuse to buy ADT ever again and I encourage all to research and look elsewhere.

And anything that I told them I was interested in having as far as the services, they were able to assist me then explained to me, how it worked. So far, the system has been okay. I only had one problem that's still going on. The alarm system keeps going off letting us know that something is going on with the garage door and there's really not. It happens at any time, in the middle of the night. The first time it happened, it was 3 o'clock in the morning. It scared us to death because we thought somebody was trying to break into the house. It's just a sensor issue with the sensors on the garage door. I needed someone to come out and get that looked at.

    But when we first initially called about it, maybe they updated or they did something to it and they walked my husband through it, how to do it at home. So, every time it happens now, he just hit the reset and does all of the stuff and then it stops. But it happened again the next week. So, at this point, we need to get someone to come back out and replace that sensor so it won't keep happening.

    My motion camera doesn't work properly. I walk out the front door, I come back in the house, and it takes 20 minutes for me to let me know that there's already been motion at the door. When it worked, ADT would tell me that it recorded too many times. I told them that they were the ones that put it up and put it at the angle that it’s at so how is that my fault that it’s recording every car that drives by? That's their technician’s responsibility to make sure that doesn't happen. ADT always blames it on our internet. Well, it's not our internet because I see what my wife spends on that and she has the biggest router that one could possibly have, and it's literally less than 20 feet from the front doorbell ring. The gentleman that came out did his best to do what he could do being that he’s subcontracted. They really need to get their stuff together. Otherwise, people would start going and taking matters into their own hands and get their own cameras.

    I also got put into another three-year contract. They made me pay $1,400 to pay my old contract off that I hadn't finished out. They ignored the fact that I had told them that I couldn't afford to pay it because of the pandemic. They told me if I didn't pay the $1,400, it’s going to collection. They're more worried about collecting than helping people. They had my wife sign the paperwork when my wife isn't even the one on the actual contract. They showed no remorse about it. They didn't even care. The company sucks.

I showed him the problem and explained to him what was going on. He troubleshot it because we have a modem and then, they put a Wi-Fi extender. For some reason, the camera would only hook up to the Wi-Fi extender instead of the modem so every time he redid it, it was going back to the extender. It needed to go to the main modem. So, he deleted the entire camera and then, he started all over again. He deleted the Wi-Fi extender and it popped right in. I haven't had any problems since.

    I used to live up in the mountains on three acres and it was a small tight community where everybody knew each other. So, we left doors open and we left keys in the car. We never even lock it up.

Specifically, we discussed having two additional video cameras for the front and back. But when the technician got here, he said that the work order did not have anything other than the doorbell, the main panel, smoke detector, and so forth. It had things that I did not expect, such as turning lights off and on for the lamp. That wasn't anything that we had agreed to or talked about so I was not a bit happy. Also, I had discussed with the sales rep a backup panel for the master bedroom and according to the technician, that was not provided for at all so I had to pay extra for that.

    The technician was very pleasant. He spent six and a half hours here and left with a system that was turned on, but it was a mess. I had big holes in the wall with wires hanging out, a Jerry-rigged system that he had sort of manufactured on the spot, and I didn't have my main panel mounted. And he did not provide the training that he was supposed to provide.

    I called and I got someone named Cameron who was very nice. He said that in situations like this, they need to get an experienced technician out here to get things resolved. He said he would have to send me to somebody else who can schedule that. I talked to a guy named Ron who was very sympathetic. I ran through the whole thing with him. He said he was gonna schedule the first appointment he could schedule for me and that it would be on Thursday, June 3rd but that he would put a flag on it that I really want someone here sooner.

    I got a call on Tuesday morning from someone from ADT who was extremely hostile and wanted to know what's going on. I told him about the installation and he said he would send the same technician back out here and that the tech needs to learn to do it right. I told him I would not have the tech back on the place because he left things in a mess. Finally, I got a senior person who's been with ADT for 35 years and he got the installations done. Some things have worked, but it's been a rocky road.

According to ADT, their responsibility allegedly ends in calling the security agency. Ridiculous! And don’t trust JBM Patrol and Protection because they most likely do their security check by merely passing in front of your house even though the alarm that went off was the backdoor. Or they probably check on wrong addresses. I was the one who called the police and I drove from one state to another only for the police to find no sign of why ADT’s alarm went off by itself.

    Been a customer of ADT for ten years and liked their service. Decided I wanted two cameras installed as I am away from 3 months and want to monitor activities. Put it in 45 days ago for $1K. Worked fine until today when there was a power failure for a couple of hours. When the power came back and the modem and router rebooted, the cameras would not connect. I can tell other systems (ADT alarm and another wifi based monitoring system) came back fine. Tried all possible on-line reboots (remember, I'm gone) but could not connect.

    Called ADT and they said there is nothing they can do remotely (like reboot) and needed someone to come out and reboot the cameras. That's just not possible for me as no one is allowed in the house except my 85 year old mother in law who does not get around well. Oh, and she lives 50 miles away. I asked ADT why they couldn't reboot the cameras like then can the alarm. Because, according to them, they don't monitor the cameras and, by design, do not want access. So, I have spent over 1K for a camera system for when I'm away that fails whenever there is a power failure, will not reconnect, and cannot be serviced remotely. All other net-based companies I deal with can do this. I suggest the reader consider someone else.

    The gentleman that came in and did the installation of my ADT system was outstanding. He knew everything that I needed to know. Even things I didn't know, he told me just in case and gave me what ADT offered. He's a walking ADT book.

    The guy that we dealt with was real experienced. He was real talkative and nice. He explained as much as he could to us about the system because it was altogether different than the one we previously had. He did a good job. I commend him. The installer was on time and he did the installation in about an hour. On the front, we have two doors there, the main door and the outside storm door. Both of them are hooked up, and the system does let you know when each one is open. But it’s kinda loud.

    I had the ADT system last year at my home in Fremont, California. I thought it would be a good company to work with because it has the cameras. Their rep was okay. I feel that ADT has cheated me though. They have me stuck in this contract for 36 months, which I was told was 24 months. I did not use the service for the last 11 months. I was still charged for it. I moved from the Fremont home to the Southern California house, and I left there and the system was taken off. I thought I can just discontinue the system. They have me stuck into two more year contracts because I was stuck in the three-year contract. So, they charged me 500 more dollars and gave me new equipment. The old equipment that I had was not compatible. Even Microsoft Word or Dell computers don't become incompatible in one year. So, I thought this was another cheating method. The system is okay. It has cameras but the cheating comes with it. I was very dissatisfied.

    Hello Mohammad. Thank you for reaching out and we are very sorry for the frustrating experiences. One the 3 day right for the new contract has passed ADT will reverse the termination charges associated with the old agreement. ADT currently does not relocate the system/ or any parts to the new residence so a new system/ devices would have to be purchased. IF you have any questions regarding the charges being reversed for the previous location, please give us a call at 1-800-238-2727 so we can assist. Thank you.

    Everything went fine. When I had interaction with them, it was straightforward. They stated what ADT could do for us, and I thought it would work for us. The system was just installed last weekend. There's an app for it, and you could actually program it and do everything while you're away from home. So far, I'm happy with it.

    The ADT tech arrived and we chatted for a little bit about what I wanted and where I wanted stuff. He got right to work and everything went smoothly. I like the features in my ADT package a lot. The system works just as well as it needs to, and I feel a lot better than I did since having it. I am getting good service, so if people are looking for that, then ADT is the way to go.

    The came out the same day. It took him a while because he was having some difficulties with the customer service people on that end. But he did everything and he was great. The system has a lot of options. I have the key fob. I can also arm the system from the pad and from my phone. So, I like the flexibility. If I get upstairs and realize I haven't done it, I can just do it from my phone and put it in.

    I'm very satisfied with my experience at the North Carolina location. It was just phone sales and the installer was very professional. As a matter of fact, he was dispatched again. He went to see a battery issue at our place. He was very knowlegeable and I said, “Wow! This is good. I'm going to go with ADT also in Florida.” I signed up and sales came over here in West Palm. Instalation here is a shame. It took an eight-hour installation. The guy's troubleshooting was bad. I had to help him troubleshoot and he didn't check all the contacts when he was initializing the system. One of the contacts up in the bathroom apparently wasn't working so he put another sensor on there. It was wired so we added a wireless but there was a lot of mess.

    With the app, when we set this one, I would have two locations on it. He and his boss said, “Oh, well, you need to set it up as it was when you first set it up on your iPhone.” I couldn't do anything with it. I had to look at the temperature on the bottom to know which location I'm looking at because they both said Chris' house and it was very hard to identify. He told me to look at the weather and I said, “Are you kidding me?” I told the guy in North Carolina the issue with the app and he walked me through all the stuff. So now I have one that says Edgebrook Lane and I have another one that says Bridle Spur and I can differentiate between the two.

    ADT is a good system but very pricey to add stuff to it. I'm just looking at it right now as a security system. I would like to add a couple of light switches here in Florida. It’s smart switches, but they're through the roof.

    When the tech showed up for the appointment, his cologne was very loud. He had on so much cologne that after he left, we opened up all the doors and mostly all the windows to try to get his smell out of our house. We have a two-story house. Before he even went upstairs, you could smell it up in our bonus room before he got up there. Also, he was not professional. I've been with ADT for 15 years. If they didn't give me excellent service, I would have then left them. He did not do that. And I have so much trust in ADT that I didn't even inspect his work. After he left, I had to go back to Florida to meet the movers. So I didn't go around and check everything he did.

    We upgraded to the best system that ADT carries now. We have all the cameras. But when we came back, he took off the doorbell that was on the property. He just left it laying on the porch, along with the screws. Whatever he needed to install the doorbell camera, he left all of that right there on the step. I live in a golf community, a brand new house on a golf course. And he left all this paper on my door, didn't do anything.

    But the most alarming part was what he drilled into when he went to install the doorbell, he messed up the sheetrock. I thought he was going to use the existing holes from the doorbell. But it doesn't look seamless. My whole family has a doorbell camera from ADT. So I know how they're supposed to look and it's a brand new house. If I knew ADT would have left the doorbell looking like that, I would have went and bought me a doorbell camera and got a contractor to come out and do it so it can look clean and seamless to match a brand new home.

    But after thinking about it, I called in and escalated that. He didn't leave me any yard signs. I had to call them for yard signs. Also, the camera that is on the driveway side, I lose the connection on it every day. I have to run upstairs and unplug it, reboot it, then it would come back on. I've experienced more complaints with this than I've experienced with ADT ever in 15 years. And it's only because they sent out the wrong technician. I've never called to complain about a technician.

    I've moved locations every five to six years I buy a new home and I take ADT with me. And if I got this type of service, I probably wouldn't have. But he was horrible. I wouldn't advise ADT to send him, especially to someone that has a new home. But it doesn't matter if it's new or old, or a shack, cheaper home. It's their home. That's what they're paying for. And I told him this when he called me. He didn't install that doorbell camera like he would do for his house. There's no way he would have left the sheetrock and the holes exposed on a brand new house. And the house is white. He just left it. It doesn't look like a professional did it. It looked like I went out there and tried to install it.

    ADT scheduled the installation for particular dates. The agent called and they followed up repeatedly saying that everything was still on track. The agent called the installation tech, who then called me and let me know that he was an hour out. The day of, he showed up on time, very courteous, answered all my questions. He consulted me on where he thought things should be set up. He did a great job doing the installation and in walking us through using the system after that. The equipment is top of the line. They function and operate as well as I could have hoped.

    We had ADT in a previous house, and they treated us better than Vivint did. However, there is a lack of interface between ADT's sales team and their installation team. Their sales team makes promises that their installation team is not ready to deliver on. I talked with the salesperson before the installer came out, and I told them what I had in my current system, and that I expected to have the same thing plus this extra camera. And they said, “Absolutely, sure.” And then, the same thing included in this particular instance, a thermostat that was controllable through the system. And the salesperson said, “Sure.” But the installer showed up, not knowing anything about the thermostat or the rear camera. The salesperson said, “Oh, well, we use a lot of the hardware you've already bought.” But the installation guys said, “No, we can't use any of this stuff.” That's the only negative I've got about the whole experience so far.

    The installer could have done a bit more testing because it turned out that the first time I opened either my garage doors, I ripped the sensor off the mount. So, they've been disabled for the last week. I'm waiting for the installer to be back out Saturday morning. He was fine as an individual. He just did not thoroughly test everything before he went. Also, I need to ask the installer to show me how to get the doorbell camera to tell me when somebody is walking up to the door. Amazon doesn't bother to ring the doorbell when they throw a package on your porch. So, I don't know if something is out there until I open the door. Because the old system, the doorbell camera would tell me, “Hey, we detected a visitor.” This one isn't doing that. And I haven't been able to figure out how to make it do that.

    I would recommend ADT, but make sure they clearly spelled everything out. I like their system once it's up and running. They do a good job not just of making the system usable, but I also like that they call once or twice a year and say, “Hey, we need to come out and make sure your system’s working.” I like that level of attention. But you just got to be careful in going through the installation process to make sure you got what you asked for.

    The sales rep was very professional and helpful. He was great. I like the system. I like the door locks. It's pretty cool. I wish I could have done it to the other outside doors because I only did it to one door. Everything was fine with my experience. The only thing was that it was a little troublesome to make the payments. I have to go into a website and record my payment information. They couldn't just take my payment information. It took about 40 minutes for us to get in there because on our phone, I wasn't using the right browser. It was a little complicated. It was not as easy as I thought it would be to make a payment.

    I had ADT's service about four years ago and it was great. But then I fell on some hardship and had to let my service go. Things are better now, so I wanted to come back and get that service going again. I never had any problems with the service before. With the new service, it's great and updated. I'm still getting the kinks worked out in my brain, like how to work it. But the service tech that came out was a joy. He was wonderful in explaining things and getting things done.
