    We're not 100% happy with the ADT reps but we're satisfied with the system. Nobody's broken into the house, but we don't like that their burglar alarm is such a high frequency, I can't hear it. I'm not happy with their keypads because the one in the bedroom stays lit up all night long.

    ADT is worthless. The system is a stupid thing. It went off in the middle of the night the other night for no reason because it wasn't even set. I had to push all kinds of buttons to get it to stop the noise. And now, I can't get the light to quit flashing off and on. I haven't bothered calling ADT because I don't wanna listen to their nonsense. As far as the cost, we finally got it down to where it's not too bad. But when I tried to cancel it, they keep telling me that I can't because of some kind of contract agreement. So, I'm just waiting for it to run out.

    ADT has been very good and professional. I got the app on my phone, and they're easy to get ahold of. I can't think of a single complaint. My interactions with customer service are usually very good. They call if the alarm goes off or have any issues. Thank goodness, I've only had it go off three times since I've had it on. I haven't had any situations, so I'm a low maintenance guy.

    ADT offers a good service. Their price keeps going up, but people are gonna see that everywhere. I've had several people call who want to come by and quote and offer a better deal, but I say, "No. I'm good." A year ago, I added the medical alert service, and I haven't had to use it either, but I have it if I need it. If I was at home and I was falling, I could push a button. I live by myself, so I thought maybe it might be time to get that set up just in case.

    The first time I called ADT to cancel, the rep told me that I wouldn't be able to cancel until March. I called back at the end of February and the person that I talked to told me to call back on the 8th. So, I did. And the lady that I spoke with told me that I still have a year on my contract. I asked why the other two people didn't tell me that and she said she didn’t know. It was a little upsetting. I said I'm a senior on a fixed income so I'm trying to cut down my monthly expenses. She said she understood and gave me an offer where I'm only paying $15 a month for at least six months, and then the other six months I finish out the year. So that was very helpful. The customer service reps were nice. It’s just the misinformation.

    The battery in the alarm that's on the outside of the house went out and when the repair guy came, he said that the battery needed to be replaced and he didn't know how much it was but that it was very expensive. So I asked if I could have it removed and he said we could just turn it off. And he did. Without the discount, the price of the service is reasonable. But for people like myself, I would like to see lower rates. We need and like to have the security but can't necessarily afford it. If the prices were a little less and a little bit more reasonable, we would probably be able to stick with it.

    The service is good. The first time the alarm went off, I called right away and no police came out. That was all good. But the second time it happened, the police came out. The person I spoke to said I didn’t need to come back and I could just go about my day. I decided to on my own to come home and it's a good thing I did because the police showed up. The sales process was disappointing because I tried to cancel and ADT sent some guy out here. He told me to continue and that I could get ahold of him any time. And he lied to me. But the cost was okay. It's a two-year contract initially and any time after that, if you don't renew the contract, it's another two years and another two years. I wish the timing on that could be less. You could go for six months or a year. But two years is a stretch.

    When I'm not home, I can look at my phone and see if anything is going on. But I don't like that it doesn't make any kind of sound. It doesn't give me any kind of notification. Also, when I first started with ADT, if my alarm would go off, it would always be a live person calling me. Now, when my alarm goes out, an automated system calls me. That was one reason why I changed from my last company. I don't like those automated messages. Somebody should call you 'cause there really could be something going on with you. It it's an automated service, what can they do?

    When my cameras went out, ADT set an appointment up to come out and fix it. I took off for the day for them to tell me that they had canceled my appointment. They still hadn't come out, telling me to move the entertainment system. The entertainment system is big. They want me to pull it all the way out and check the outlets. I pulled it out halfway and everything is hooked up to a jack. I was trying to tell them that everything is on one plug. I could see that it was no loose wires. But my camera is still not fixed to this day. I'm paying for them, but they're not hooked up.

    I originally called because the cameras on my phone had messed up. In the midst of them trying to help me get my phone back online, they had me doing stuff to the part that was hooked to the TV then my cameras on my TV went out. I told them, "That's a whole day of work if you're charging me to come out. What's the difference in me pulling something out, looking at it, and making sure everything is aloose? That's what I'm paying you to come out and fix it." That day, I was on the phone almost two hours. I told the lady I was giving up because it was still not working.

    The quality of the service is excellent. Any time I have a problem, they come and rectify the situation. The people that come to do the repairs are very personable and knowledgeable. However, I spend a lot of money to have ADT, and they want me to do my own repairs. I have seven-foot ceilings and I'm 80 years old. You can't tell me that I have to get on the ladder and change the battery. I'm paying $1,000 a year for so many years and they wanna charge me to repair their own equipment. That's not fair. They should do the repairs. If you have a battery that you have to have, they wanna do Zoom. But if you're not technologically savvy or an engineer, it's not easy.

    We had ADT at our last home. We cancelled it because we were hardwired in and kept having issues with the batteries they would send. They wouldn't last. It was horrible. We lived in an apartment for a while while we built this house. And because it was Wi-Fi, we don't have to hardwire everything in. And I don't have to worry about a big, old battery not working. The system started beeping at me Saturday night at 3 o'clock in the morning. Unfortunately, I touched a carbon monoxide thing by accident. The fire department came to my house. I was mortified. But I'm very happy with ADT. My grandkids spend the night. I feel safer with knowing that I have an alarm system. You'll sleep better.

    Everything's always been good with ADT’s customer service. The reps always resolve problems and get my questions answered quickly. The techs are helpful, informative and knowledgeable. I'm very happy with the system. It is very good and the only problem I ever have is once in a while every couple of years, the battery goes out. But ADT’s reps came out and got me a new battery for the unit. When I had the tech out here to do my doorbell installation, he had an extra battery and put another battery in my system. It wasn't ready for one yet and it was a little bit early, but he had an extra one so he just put that in for me right away, which was nice.

    Just having the ADT placard in your yard probably deters some people. I had a break-in seven years ago and my dogs didn't even hear it. The guys snuck in but they didn't get much. Ever since then, I've had the system and I added the doorbell probably about six months ago, which is one thing I like because you can see everything that's going on when you're not home. It's very clear. You can hear the birds chirping. I live in a neighborhood where a lot of people walk their dogs and I live close to a school. There are a lot of kids. So, I'll get notifications that somebody is at the door and they're not. It doesn't bother me or I would have called already. But it just goes off more around certain times when there are people walking dogs or the kids are leaving from school. My doorbell is probably about 25 feet from where the street is, but for some reason, it still goes off sometimes. I don't know if I can adjust that setting.

Aside from that, if something was messed up, they would tell me. One time, when my battery would make my alarm go off, they told me how to fix it. So, they've been good to me. I'm also satisfied with the features of my service package with them, and I like that if somebody was to try to break in on me, I would know it.

    I'm not really happy with ADT. Their cameras don't work. Their sensors stopped working and they told me to go and get batteries. I'm not fully equipped with how to undo this kind of material because I do two jobs. But if I call them, they're gonna charge me extra to come and fix their problem that I'm paying for. When I couldn't remember the password on the account, I had to wait for ADT to mail me something before I could even fix the problem. Also, ADT goes into my account and takes my money twice per month. I don't understand why they make two withdrawals when I deal with one contract. I'm tired of reaching out to them, so I just stopped. I can't wait for this contract to finish so I could just get out of ADT. It's a waste of my money.

    The system is working fine. At one point, I wasn't connected where I would get notices, and I didn't notice that. I was thinking that ADT should have been able to read that on their end and let me know that. But that was several years ago and it's been fine now. I like the fact I can get on and look at my settings and I can see online that it's on and that it's working. The price goes up every year, and I didn't realize that was gonna happen. But it's still a reasonable price, so I don't have any objection to that.

    I have had interactions with ADT's customer service when it comes to changing the batteries in my system. It left a bad taste in my mouth. It was the simplest thing. I kept having a problem with it. And when I call and let them know I'm having it over and over, what they're giving me is not working, they wanna tell me how much it would cost for a service guy to come out. $35 in each additional hour is so much, which I thought was poor service to be with them. They see that I'm having the same problem over and over, and to me, their main thing was that if I needed a service call, I had to pay for it.

    ADT is certainly the most recognizable name in home security. This is why I contracted with them in 2017. Over 7 years, my monthly charge increased from $55 to $75. I tried calling and emailing their "district manager". He simply did not return my calls or emails. I then called the 800 number... After many transfers (and a lot of time), I finally reached someone who agreed to lower my cost back to $50/month. I asked why they increased the pricing so dramatically...and was told that they emailed me and gave me opportunity to object. Since I didn't, they increased the price... Overall, this has been a bad experience. I would not recommend ADT unless you want to over pay for your alarm monitoring. I found a nice, more local company that will take over my system... Same wireless connection (no phone lines involved), same 24/7 monitoring...for $25/month...and no "gotcha" price increases.

I talked to them about it but it still isn’t fixed 100%. They thought they got it going and we've worked through some things but then it would happen again. We can set the alarm with the keypad any time but if we're out and away and need to set it or we're leaving the house, the phones don't always work.

    When I moved, ADT was the only one who offered a live active police response for alarms and fire. If I'm out of town and someone breaks in the house or opens the door or there's a fire or something, they’re supposed to send the police to my home to investigate. I went with them but I didn't like the technician they sent out. It was a weird experience because he talked too much. He spent a lot of time talking and even more time trying to upsell the package I was buying. It was off-putting because he was trying to sell me something and he was not necessarily ADT. The company that he works for, even though they're contracted by ADT, was a different name.

    As far as the reliability of the product, the cameras will stop recording at random and there's no warning whatsoever. They're motion-sensitive if something happened in my front yard, it'll send a thing to my phone that there was motion detected but I would go to look at the footage and it didn't record it. I've called about it and they said I have to go in and delete the camera motion sensitive level. Basically I have to delete that rule where if somebody walks by, the camera is supposed to notify and record the footage. They said they have to delete that and then put it back in. That has happened so often that I don't even call ADT about it. I just do it myself. My experience with ADT is like once you're in, you're kind of trapped in until something better comes along or I have the funds to buy something better because I would.

    The very first time that ADT sent a man out, I had to pay a fee to get him out there. He told me he was brand new on the job, so they sent a new employee that was not experienced to check out my internet service. And it took a second serviceman to come out there and take a look at it. But I didn't have to pay another for him to come out and other than that, their customer service has been very good.

    But if my alarm goes off, there's a long delay before they call to check if there's an issue. I know they get a lot of alarms go off accidentally and they can't call everybody. But I would like a better response time because by the time they respond, if somebody is breaking into my house, they're already in and nobody's called the police at all. So, from that standpoint, I'm not getting my value out of having my security system. Also, their pricing is getting out of line. They just announced a new price increase of about $4 a month, which is a 10% increase over what I was paying. There are too many competitors out there that does the same thing and I could get a better price. But I don't want to have to go through the installation all over again.

Got the story that the job before me took longer than expected and they can't make it and want to move me to the back of the line to come out two more months down the road! We said no thanks and went the route we were going to in the first place.

    Five months later, they're still sending us monthly bills with late fees!!! I spoke to at least 8 different people and they always tell me they have no record of us cancelling so we need to pay the bill. Sent us a contract via email to sign and I never did so I never renewed with them. They literally have not been able to do a test timer on our old land line number for 6 months because we no longer have it and they're telling us we need to pay!!!

The alarm for my doors and the cameras are my favorites. I'm on the corner lot so that is probably the most important. I’ve referred ADT many times. They’re easy to work with and they’re all about customer satisfaction. If I need them, if something's going on with the system itself, they’re easy to contact and give me directions.

    I was told right upfront I’d get 20% off because I go with Geico. I'm an idiot because I didn't call Geico and double-confirm this. We signed everything and when I got around to contacting Geico and updating them, I get like a 0.05% discount from Geico. That whole spiel about me getting 20% was a lie and I wasn't too happy about that. They shouldn't be saying such things like that.

    Then, I felt lied to when they raised my prices. They said they sent out emails but when I first enrolled in the company, I was getting emails and messages every two minutes. Their marketing department knew what they were doing when they sent the email out, because if they had put in the subject line something that would have appeared to be more relevant and attention-garnering, they would have lost a lot of clients. But they wrote it the way they wrote it so that the average person is just not gonna click on it.

    I felt like I was forced into this 3-year contract and I didn't even activate it for over a year. I was working from home so for a good year and a half, I didn't need the security system. Then, when it was activated a month ago, I locked myself out of the house and I had to break into my own house. The alarms went off but I was not messaged and the cops were not called. I didn't even receive an email about it. That really made me angry. Not only did I feel like I was locked into paying this garbage but also, they weren't actually protecting me.

    Also, it’s the first time in my entire 38 years where I ever had a contract where they changed the price. The point of contracts is you get locked into a price. I didn't expect a price hike with a clause stating, “If you wanna dispute it, you have until 30 days.” I gave them my notice within 30 days and rep said they could end my service right then. But they took money out of my account again and they said I gotta pay them off, which was not what was told to me. I told the rep to read the notes to me and he couldn't do it. He said it looked like the first rep was just trying to be nice. My whole experience with ADT's entire operation is extremely dissatisfying. I'm very upset that I spent over the original estimated price for the three years and then I was locked into this contract. They got a lot of money and I got nothing in return. I feel like I was legally conned.

    The ADT representative was fairly quick. However, I wish they would have explained a few things that I needed to know. Having providers in your home within the first 90 days is not a good idea. It's very distracting and you can miss a lot of things. I didn't get what I needed because of, one, the cost, and two, you don't have services after six months. The second time I called ADT for assistance, it was after six months and they said, "I'm sorry. We can't send a technician for free. We have to charge you at this point." But they bind me to a three-year contract, which is not equitable. I wasn't informed that it was going to be a three-year contract. They also need to inform people how much time they have where they can cancel services. If I had known some things, I would have canceled within a week. I'm currently unemployed and there's no way I can get out of my contract to reduce my expenses so I can alleviate some of the financial stressors.

    The monitoring service I get from ADT seems to be very well done. They were able to send out a technician to troubleshoot an issue on a couple of occasions. On another occasion, they came out and installed new equipment. I like the doorbell camera a lot but I'm having a problem with my indoor camera. It goes offline frequently. I have to go and reset it every time.

    I'm not crazy about the way the monthly price keeps creeping up. I also had an equipment problem and that issue went on for several days. They had to send out a technician on a couple of trips, one was to diagnose and another to come back and exchange a faulty device. I had another situation with a heat detector in my attic that gave me a trouble signal. The technician that came out said that they weren't installing the heat detectors in the attic. Evidently, it was related to the level of equipment that they were putting in the field and when I first became a customer. The technician couldn't tell me why the change or what the difference was or why they couldn't put another heat detector back in my attic.

    ADT is too expensive, and when I call and talk to them, there's no empathy, understanding, or care. They raised their rates after we agreed to a price, and it's been only a few bucks, but still, in this economy, every dollar counts. It's not what I originally signed up for, and if I'm locked in for a solo contract, then they shouldn't be able to raise the rates during that time period. I should have the right to get off that contract. I also told them that I have a friend that pays ADT for $30 a month, and they didn't wanna hear about it. I asked about other companies that are around $30 a month, and they said, “We're not them, sir. We can't comment on that.”

    ADT doesn't listen to their customers, and I can't understand how some people have ADT at $20 to $30 less than what I pay. They suck, and as soon as my contract is up, which is in about another five weeks, I'm going to a different company. I'm a man of my word, and I told ADT that unless they lower their prices, I'm not doing this retention to keep me back. There's nothing wrong with the system, but there are other ones that are just as good at a fraction of the price.

    When I initially got ADT, they were the only ones in our area, then other companies came and weren't necessarily as good as they are now. I ended up sticking with ADT only because, at the time, if I had issues, they would send the serviceperson out to the house. Now, they want people to look online, more or less, and see if they can fix it themselves, and when they send the third party reps out, it's annoying because, often, they don't know what they're doing. They take a lot of time. I had an issue with ADT because they had a third party rep come out to fix my system. They took the system off and left without making sure that it was working, and somebody else had to come back, then they tried to tell me, "Well, we can't operate this system that you have."

    They wanted me to update to a different system, and I had to argue with them and tell them, "No." The system was working before that repairperson came out. I had issues with the cameras connecting, so I shouldn't have to update. They had a bunch of excuses, and I've not really liked ADT since then. Even right now, I have an issue with my system that they're not trying to come out here to work. They want me to do it. They told me to look online, go into the MyADT app and watch the videos. I'm not very happy with them at the moment. I never truly was after the first incident with the third party person coming out.

We would arm it and then it would beep and beep, and it never worked. So, we called and talked to this girl on the phone. I've got it on my phone where I can arm and disarm. They tried everything, but the Wi-Fi just wasn't working. I did get it to where I like it better on my phone because they had it on there and it took it off. So, I can arm it when I'm leaving and not when I come back to open the door. Other than that, I'm satisfied with my system. It's been good. When we first had it, the alarm went off and it said there was a cracked window. That's one of the features I really like. It will be good if somebody breaks in or if there was a defect.

    I love the system. It's great. The technicians thoroughly explained everything. When we had our packages picked out, the guy who came said, "Your house is gonna look like a prison with these cameras. You need to put dome cameras up," so he changed some things. When you live out in the country, a dome camera is not very good because of the bugs and it's always dirty. You have to clean it every day. I contacted ADT and asked them if they could switch back and give me what I originally ordered. It took me two months to get that. I ended up calling the district manager but the district manager didn't call me back. I called a different district manager and they eventually resolved it.

    However, ADT has too many hidden fees. I'm not happy with it at all. I got rid of my home phone and my other alarm system. Those two bills equaled out to what I was gonna pay ADT. I was told my bill would be around $50 a month for monitoring. I did not realize that they have a Quality Service Plan attached to that, and I'm paying $60 a month for that. I'm paying 110 right now. They said I signed the Quality Service Plan and I have to keep it for three years. It was in that contract, but you think it's a one-page contract 'cause they have you sign on the first page, not the last page. I've written letters and talked to so many people. Trying to get ahold of a real person at ADT takes forever. Then when you talk to one person and they transfer you, you tell them the story again. The customer service is lacking.

    Every time I call for help or I need advice or there's an alarm, ADT is right there. It's within 15 seconds of the alarm going off that my phone rings. They are tremendous. Years ago, I had a bad experience because the equipment was so old that it couldn't be serviced. ADT was giving out free installations, but they wanted to charge me 300-some odd dollars to come out here and put new equipment in. But if I was a new customer, they would have come out and did it for free. So what I did was I canceled it and I went to Brinks and Brinks came in and installed all-new stuff for me. In fact, the equipment still has Brinks written on it. Then, ADT bought Brinks. So, I was back to ADT again. I didn't really lose anything but for a while, ADT lost a customer because of a local manager that didn't do what he was supposed to do.

    I wouldn't have left ADT except for the reason that the local manager would not give me new equipment. But later on, I spoke to ADT and explained it to them and they said that I should have called the main office. They would have replaced the equipment. It was just the local guy that was a real jerk. My ADT system is very good. It's cellular now, so I don't have to worry about them cutting the phone lines. It takes care of itself. When the power goes off, it still works. I turn it on every night before I go to bed and I feel much safer because of it. I'm very pleased with them. I recommend them. I tell people, "Get one of these. It's worth it. They'll put it in for you for nothing or $99 and it's a lifesaver." I wouldn't be without it.

    I'm not happy with ADT because when I first had my service upgraded, I didn't realize I was gonna be paying so much. I'm just living on a fixed income, and now these payments put me in a bind. I do love the service. I've been with ADT since I had my home. When I bought the home, it had a security system in it but it was old. Then I had it upgraded because I wanted the camera outside, which I didn't have. I did have the smoke detector. They just recently upgraded, and I do like the equipment. It’s just the price went up. Before, I was paying 25. It went up to 142. They didn't tell me that before I did an upgrade.

    I called the other day after they posted my bill online, and I said, “What's going on? Why did my bill get raised?” They said my discount expired. I said, “What? Well, how can I get out of this?” They said, “Well, you have to just buy the contract out.” I don't wanna pay 400 some dollars. I've been with them since 2002 and it really upsets me. Everybody is raising everything. With the break-in and everything, I don't wanna get rid of ADT because I've been with them forever and I'm satisfied with the service. I feel confident when I go out of town.

    They would give me a discount, and I appreciate that because it helped me. I could skip a month and then I can start again the next month. That really helped me a lot. That way, I didn't lose my service. They said, “You know what? We don't want you to lose your service.” I didn't wanna lose it either because the minute you don't have it, that's when somebody would break in your house. I would recommend ADT. Their product is excellent.

    I have ADT at three of my locations and at my house. My ADT Home Security service is horrible. It hasn't worked in years. I pay 30 bucks a month for nothing. I tried to cancel them about a year and a half ago. They came and fixed something, but it never worked. They did something to the main panel, but the panel in our bedroom never worked. So, we got them unplugged now. They're worthless. On the commercial side of things, they've been worthless as well. I've tried to get all three of my locations together on Control and I only see two. One of my partners only sees one. Crazy. I don't have access to one and all I did was ask them to put them together. I thought that was a simple request. Don't use ADT.

    I've had ADT for a long time. I've had it installed for over 15 years. We had it up upgraded about three years ago. When the they came out, they installed a doorbell camera. And then two weeks later, we found out that they switched the doorbell cameras over to the Nest cameras. We didn't care very much for the doorbell camera and we asked if there is any way we could change it out to the upgraded Nest camera? They said no. We're kind of upset that they installed this one. And then come to find out that they're not using the SkyBell, and they're starting to use the Nest one. We were hoping to be able to switch out to the Nest one because of the grain quality and the quality of the picture. We weren't very happy with it. They pretty much said, "No, you would have to buy a whole new doorbell camera."

    ADT’s price is a little bit higher than other products. There should probably be more incentives as far as newer products that are available to customers that have been with them for a while. One thing I've noticed is that we get a lot of ghost ADT people. People say they’re calling from ADT or they’re a tech. I would have to turn around and send that to someone at the office because these are people who are trying to scam me. But that comes also from teaching and learning from ADT because they say this is not the right person or that they don't usually reach out to us.

    ADT sent a crew up here from San Antonio, and all they brought with them were wireless cameras. Then they figured out that my Wi-Fi wasn't strong enough. I said, “You put up the other kind of cameras in hardwire, just hardwire.” They said, “Well, we didn't bring any other kind of camera.” I said, “It sound to me like you made a trip from San Antonio here for nothing then.” So, they took off. A week or so later, they showed up again. It was on a Friday. One of the guys working on it is a young guy, and I could tell he was only interested in a paycheck. I told him, “We need to get a wire underneath the house.” He went underneath the house once before lunch.

    After lunch, he went to crawl underneath the house again, and I don't think he even went underneath there because he came over to me where I was at and he said, “Man, I can't go underneath the house.” I said, “Why? What's the matter?” And then he said, “I was just fixing crawling underneath there, and I looked down there. There was a big old diamondback rattlesnake right there by that opening.” I said, “Are you sure?” “Yeah.” So, I called someone and they crawled underneath there. They said, “No. Ain’t no snake underneath there.” I said, “I crawled all underneath that house everywhere. Didn't see no snakes.”

    It was 20 minutes after he said he did. So, I told him, “You go right in." It was like 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a Friday, and a check was waiting on him. He knew he was gonna be here until about 6:00. What happened was he made up this deal about a snake being there so he could go home early. I said, “Okay. I’m tired. Why can't y'all get it all right?” So, they sent another guy out. This guy was the best one, but he was too overweight. It's not his fault, though. He was a really nice fellow, smart, knows his work, and did a really good job. He was working on something. I have one camera put on out in my shop. Then we had to pull a wire. We already had a conduit run. So, we pulled out. A wire was in it, which was a telephone line and I'm not gonna need that anymore to go with this. So, he did and he did it all by himself. He was hardworking.

    He said, “Where's your monitor screen?” I said, “Oh, I don't understand.” He said, “Well, you must have a screen where I can hook it up to for a monitor.” So, he said, “You go to Walmart and get one.” I said, “Well, why didn't they tell me this? I’d already had it here.” To me, that's a click against ADT. They never told me anything like that. If I had to do it all over again, I would look for somebody else because it was like three times that they had to come by here. The first crew could have come by with the right stuff. They drove that far, and then they were under the assumption that I have a strong Wi-Fi. In this part of the country, nobody does.

    I lived in Alaska and we had ADT. We had wonderful service all the time. If we had any situation at all, they were right there. We're clear out of town, so that was really good. However, If you have to have anything done to your system now, they charge you to come out. They have a big enough clientele that when these guys are out selling things, they could stop by and make calls on the people that have had the coverage for years. About two years ago, I got the warning that the batteries were bad. I called them and told them, and they sent me the batteries. The batteries are still in the bag hanging on the wall, and I haven't had a warning that the batteries are bad so I wonder how accurate the equipment is. They could contact their customers once every two years and make a house call to make sure everything's working okay. But they don't.

    I like ADT. I have alarms and sensors in the house on all my windows and doors. When my windows and doors are open, I know which one it is and I also know if someone's entering or leaving. I also have the motion detector. I can't see all over the house but at least if something is open, I know where it's coming from. I have the breakage feature as well so if a window is shaking or even cracked, it's gonna tell me somebody is trying to do something. Even if I drop something and the room shakes or it shakes a window, it's gonna say window breakage, even though it isn't. It lets me know it works.

    The only problem I have is when I call them and say, “I need a battery and would like a tech to come out and replace it for me.” They would tell me they could send it in the mail but that's not what I'm choosing to do. They shouldn't try to persuade me to do something they want me to do when I'm telling them what I want. I know there’s gonna be a fee, but it is what I want them to do.

    We have had a rocky course with ADT. We had called multiple times, and they kept saying the issue was our fault because we didn't have a strong enough Wi-Fi and we needed to buy other equipment. It quits working for a couple hours then it starts back in again. They keep saying it's because our router is too far away, but it's almost on the same level as the front driveway camera and none of our other cameras are having any problems with it. We went through seven months of having problems before they finally had a technician go in and look at it. We asked multiple times to have someone come out. We wanted them to come out and change the camera, but they said it would take over a month and they didn't have anybody locally that could come. Had I known that, I never would have bought a system that doesn't have anybody locally that could come.

    They had someone set up but that person called in sick. They didn't reschedule another appointment and we had to wait a month for that. After five calls in a few days, we got a hold of a technician who found out that we had the wrong software and they had to upgrade the software. After that, we've been having minimal problems with it. The other day, we had an issue and I unplugged one of our Canary cameras. That seemed to help take care of it.

    ADT is expensive for the amount of service they provide. The cost should have good service included, but I don't think we've had good service. I'm not at all pleased with the service, and we quit once before because we had problems with it when we had a different system. They weren't monitoring it for almost a year when we found out about it but they've been charging us. When the system works, it works. But when it doesn't, they're no help. When we call and tell them it's not working, they tell us we need to get something to boost our service. They told us it was fine when they sold it to us and installed it. But they came back telling us that it wasn't and something else was wrong. I don't think they're very good at solving the issues or willing to solve the issues. They just wanna blame it on everybody else.

    We had one of ADT's security experts come out to our home after we had people shot at our home. They looked around our property to see exactly what we needed at no extra cost. That worked out better because a few months later, our home got shot at again. From the security expert's specialization of where to put the product and what type of product to have, they caught the perpetrators in less than 24 hours. They got pictures of them through a heavy downpour and to the car. If it wasn't for ADT, we would still be wondering this last time who did what. Even the police were amazed.

    If you do what you're supposed to do, ADT is the best company ever. It's well worth the money. I could be at my daughter's house and if anything's moving around my house that's not supposed to be moving, it tells me. If my door stays open one second too long, it tells me something's going on. We have the right equipment and we feel secure with it. As matter of fact, it dings so much. My husband has put a curfew on everybody so the door doesn't open and close all night long.

    Right before I went on a deployment, the alarm system was messed up. My wife and kid were at the house but ADT wouldn't fix it. When I got back home, I called them again three times about the issue. They finally got me a virtual tech and got the system somewhat fixed but still not to what we were looking for. Within three months, I got a text message saying that if I did an upgrade, I would receive a free doorbell camera. I did the scheduling process. I just had knee surgery and moved my PT date a day so I could make that appointment time to meet the technician at the house.

    At that time, the technician never showed. I never received a phone call or an email. I called ADT and after an hour of going through why I didn't get a technician, they said I wasn't on the list and that I should never have gotten the text message. I explained to them that me receiving that text message was not my fault. I didn't opt into that text message, I received it. When I scheduled it, I should have gotten a notification then to tell me I was not eligible. Going through with them, they wouldn't give me the doorbell. I said, "Since I can't get the doorbell but moved my schedule around, I'd like it comped into at least half the amount of the doorbell." They told me no and that there was nothing they could do. I tried talking to a manager and I talked to the upgrade department, customer service, some technicians, but they wouldn't get it fixed.

    I had a woman on the phone on Friday and she was trying to fix it. She told me she got it fixed. I tried it Friday evening, but it never got fixed. The problem we're having is that if you hit Away, it'd still stay in Stay mode. I used to have the old ADT system. If I hit Stay, it is automatically armed. If I hit Away, it gave me 30 seconds to a minute to get out the door. It was the same thing when I was coming in while it was in Away mode. This time, it's doing the same thing on both. It was doing Away mode for both so I changed it but they said I need to put it in Stay mode and it'd fix the problem. It'd do Away in Away and Stay in Stay. I did that and it did Stay. Now, I can't go in the house after I leave without it tripping every alarm and sending me critical notifications to my phone. I have to turn it on on my app when I leave instead of hitting Away mode and just walking out the door.

    The touchscreen digital system should have more components to the authorized manager. If I wanna go in there and try to tinker with the system, it should give me more freedom to adjust to my system as I see fit. When the guy that came out four years ago placed all my glass breakers around and we got the big siren alarm, I wish I'd had a little more information behind it. He put the glass break right beside the siren so when you open the door, it kicks that siren on. When it kicks that siren on, it kicks that glass breaker on. Now, I have to put my code in twice to cancel both alarms.

    I've been with ADT for 4 years. My family's been with ADT since I've been alive. I like ADT for the monitoring of smoke or carbon. The door sensors work fine and the glass break is good. I got a two-year-old who dropped a broom right underneath it, and it thought a glass broke. The warm wasn't even set, but it still kicked it off like somebody broke through the window. That was good. I like the glass break equipment instead of having a sensor on all the windows. On the window monitors, if somebody could pick that window lock and doesn't break through the glass, I wouldn't know.

    The system does a good job and I've never had an issue with the system not going off but it's the customer service I'm having a problem with. I've had one female that was very helpful. When they tried fixing it the first time, she apologized for the mess up when they put it in complete Stay mode. She comped me three months. But over the past year of experiences that my wife and I talked about, we're gonna cancel. We paid our equipment off, we never missed a payment, but we can't seem to get help and we're getting promised items that we're not receiving.

    I'm gonna cancel because my camera only picks up certain activities. What am I paying for if the camera is not documenting what's going on? Yesterday, I was standing outside and flagging my hand in front of the sensor of the doorbell and it did nothing. At this point, ADT is too expensive. I had an over-the-phone thing done last year when the camera went offline, but the last time I had any contact with ADT physically was last October when I had an incident where someone was pounding on my door. I called ADT to find out if they had backup footage and they said, "No." When the representative was looking in the system, he said, "But your WiFi is fine." He couldn't even tell me why the camera wasn't picking up the activities.

    We had some technical difficulties at first with alarms going off, but ADT got it all worked out in six months. The problem turned out to be caused by bad sensors which wound up to be too sensitive. They replaced all the sensors and I never got charged for anything. As far as them coming back out and dealing with everything that needed to be dealt with, I was pretty impressed. Also, the longer you stay with them, the price goes down. Plus, it's nice to be able to use the app to turn the alarms off and on when I'm at work. Having ADT is better than leaving your house alone. I can come to work and not fear something's going to happen to my stuff.

    I recommend ADT to people. They say, "Oh, they're a little more..." I say, "It's worth it." I've had ADT for 10 years and have no complaints. When I have a problem, they try to do it remotely. If it can't be done remotely, they send a tech as soon as possible. One time I had an issue with my camera and they walked me through it remotely. I told them, "The camera is no good." After a few years, they wear out, so they wound up sending a technician and he had to verify it. They replaced the camera and I didn't have to pay anything. That's part of my service plan.

They do what they say and monitor, and if the alarm goes off and I don't get it, they're right here. They've always responded.

    Right now, I'm very dissatisfied with ADT. For the service that I'm getting, the cost is too high. I'm paying $42 a month, and I don't feel like I'm getting anything. I don't like that I don't get customer service at my house anymore. When one of my things fell off my door to the outside, they sent me a container of glue. They said that was their way of doing it now. They don't come out to the house. I like to pay for the service for them to come out and put new batteries in if they need to be replaced or when I have a problem with one of the sensors, for them to rehook it up. I thought about canceling ADT again because I'm not using the system at all because it’s gets so aggravating when it goes off in the middle of the night, and I can't deprogram it, and my call to them is, “Okay. We'll just do bypass.” A couple of times, I've tried to do it and it didn't work. It's working now, so I have it on bypass and I don't use it.

I wanted to put the contract in suspension and then re-up when the property had electricity, but they refused to do so. They are charging me $59 every month because of that contract. I will never do that again. They're a company that's too big for its britches. I spent hours on the phone trying to get through to their different components to arrange this. I keep getting emails and text messages like they still think I've got a house there, and there isn't. So, I am just ignoring them.

    We have Arlo cameras and we also have ADT cameras. Somebody tried to break into my car, and the ADT cameras never picked up the motion detection. But the Arlo ones did, so that's a big hit against ADT. Then the unit itself would start beeping, like it would lose connection. They tried multiple times to fix it and they finally got that fixed. It's flukey and not reliable. Right now, our front camera is not catching any motion detection. And calling the hotline is such a pain that I've avoided it. Half the time, you can't understand the people on the other end of the phone. I've done it via chat, and sometimes, it's frustrating.

    ADT was already in the home that I had purchased. The system was already in place so I continued with it. But then I had to have it all updated. So, I wound up buying all brand-new equipment. I felt like I was stuck because I already gotten into a contract with them. Also, it took them about three weeks to even get my service up and running after everything was installed.

    For the installation, the first guy took all day and hours and hours, and he kept telling me I needed this and that, and I had to purchase this and that. He was horrible. The second guy came along and he had better customer service. He indicated that the stuff was already purchased, so he couldn't take it away. But he didn't feel that I needed all of that. So, that's what I'm going through with ADT right now. Then I found out that they make their money based on commission. So, for much stuff that the first guy added on, he was gonna get a bigger commission. They didn't even tell us how the system works. So now, I don't even know what my bill is. I'm waiting to get a bill from them to see exactly what I'm paying for because nobody seems to know. He did such a bad job inputting the information that we didn't know what to do.
