I love ADT’s service. When I have a question, I call my salesman. He is ready and willing. I’ve had questions about the thermostat and about a couple of other things. He would tell me where to look and I would find it and we’re ready to go. During hurricane Ian, I had my daughter and her husband here, and I had set the alarm. In the middle of the night, her husband fell out of bed. He's 80 and cut his arm. My daughter went into the garage. She opened the door. I was sound asleep. Everything went off. It was like a siren went off. I didn't hear a thing because I have hearing aids. All of a sudden, my son who lives next door was called. They were gonna send the patrolman out here, and it was like a zoo in this house. If it had been a break-in, the whole world would have been here.

ADT responded right away. It took my son an hour to convince ADT that it wasn't a break-in. Finally, they woke me up and I punched in the code. Then they wanted a verbal password. It was an absolutely wild time around here at two o'clock in the morning. There was no power so it was pitch black here. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face. We looked back and said, “We don't want to do this again.” After that, I just didn't turn the system on at night when they were here. It got resolved and we have a verbal passcode now, and the family knows it. I've been very pleased with the system.

ADT's customer service is very good and responsive. They recently put in a whole new system for us. The installer was very good. He had someone with him and both of them surprised us with putting in a whole new system. We've always had ADT. I've always felt comfortable and secure with them. Anytime we've had any problems where the alarm has gone off, they've always been there. So, they've been reliable and trustworthy.

I have had my ADT system for almost three years and initially was very satisfied with the customer service and the alarm response. However, over the past several months it has become almost impossible to get a customer service representative to deal with equipment issues. More importantly, is that we no longer get verification calls from ADT when our alarms go off as we used to earlier on. What was even more disturbing was when we finally got a representative on the phone we were told calls were not made because we had disarmed the system albeit several minutes after the alarms went off!! I asked to speak with a manager and now it's several days later and no one has contacted me.

Effectively we have an ADT alarm system but have no assurance that if intruders come into our home, ADT will even make the verification call to determine if all is well - worse still in a situation where we are coerced to shut off the alarms. This is very disturbing and worrisome as many of us are sleeping in our homes at night believing we have some measure of security we are paying for while this seems not to be the case!!! Very very disappointed and waiting of for a return call from an ADT manager or supervisor still...

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Tried to get through to Customer Loyalty (I was on phone 5 times from 1-6:30 PM on Oct. 19, 2022) and each time I get to someone after being on hold for hours they put me on hold again and disconnect me then I start all over and same thing happened after being on hold for an hour. On October 11, 2022 I was talked into upgrading my system which I initially was told would be $109.00 plus the monthly monitoring would be $66.40. Then when they arrived on October 13 to install the upgraded system I was made to sign another contract for $544.93 and told monitoring was $60.41. Then I was directed to download the new monitoring app and discovered the Now app and upgrade (I formerly had a Pulse system) is not compatible with my DVR and Camera System. To get that to work I would need to upgrade my DVR system which would be another $600. None of this was explained to me before all of this was started.

I spoke to the one Tech I know and he told me to talk with Customer Loyalty which I can not get through to. I am very disgusted. The reps I did get through to did not even try to call me back after being disconnected and they have my phone number! I've been with ADT almost 10 years and it was one of your techs who is a friend that talked me into going with ADT in the first place. All I want is for the charges to get straightened out and my outdoor video cameras and recorder to once again work with the APP!

I initially placed this review and got a response from Timothy L. ADT Presidential Executive Response & Resolution& Social Media Specialist. He told me my upgrade was actually $1090. and was discounted to $618.69. He also told me to contact The TIER 3 CCTV team is specialized in CCTV and DVR networks who will be able to help me with an app to view the cameras. I contacted this division and after being on hold for an hour, spoke to Dave who told me there are no apps for my DVR system and that it only worked with pulse and there was no way to activate pulse again.

He then transferred me to customer service again as I requested to have this system removed and cancel all service and was on hold again for 45 minutes and was told I can not cancel as I was beyond the period (3 days) I could cancel and I would have to pay the balance of the contract to cancel. Note that this issue has been going on since October 13, when I signed the contract!!! I am disgusted with ADT. I am stuck with them now for next 3 years. I am not paying them another penny after that. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR SECURITY!!! They are a scam and will rope you into a contract you have no choice in. Very Poor customer service!!!

We’re satisfied with ADT. We were impressed by their presentation and what they offered. We’ve seen a lot of advertising and had some people stop at the house and ask to compare it. We always said we’d stay with ADT. Whenever they've had to update it, they've been very accommodating and people would come out to make the presentation. Then those that have to come out and do the work always have been very professional.

ADT responds fast. Except when there's a high volume, I have to wait. But normally, everything is okay. They get to the sheriff. When I come to call the sheriff, the sheriff gets out to my property. And the best thing I like is that the deputy sheriffs call me on their personal cell phone and tell me if everything is okay and what's happening at my property. If I have a problem-- usually the monitor outside doesn't show everything on the monitor on the wall-- I can have a technician there within the next day or two days. They're very good.

Every technician that comes out there does the job and leaves. We've made good friends with them. Sometimes, the same guy would come and says he remembers the house. I would ask ADT if I could I have such technician and they would say if the technician is available, I can have him. I can trust ADT and they always call at 3 o'clock in the morning. I was in Virginia and I was going up to New York to visit some friends. I'm at the hotel, 3 o'clock in the morning, I got a call and they said, "We have a possible break in the front door." I said, "Respond with the sheriff." I turned around, drove directly back, didn't stop until I got to the sheriff's office and he said everything was all right. It was a strong wind that happens to come in from Alabama which they said happens all the time. It was 60 miles an hour and it jarred the connections. All it had to do is move 1/8 of an inch and it breaks the contact.

Original review: Oct. 14, 2022

When we first decided to go with ADT with the new home (I've had ADT since 2012) it was purely cause the salesperson committed to a monthly monitor fee of $51 per month. I purchased another 5k of equipment again (I purchased 4 to 5k equipment 3x in 3 different homes the past 10 years) based on the understanding the monitor fees would be 51 per month and stay at that fee. However, all of a sudden I start receiving bills with monitor fees of almost 100, double of what was promised. Several weeks ago, I called ADT executive line and told them of the issue. They stated it would be reviewed and the monitor fee would be adjusted. However, nothing has been done. This is unacceptable and such a horrible way to treat a long standing customer that has spent so much money purchasing ADT equipment multiple times for almost $20,000 in total! They are a fraudulent company that baits and switches consumers. Absolutely the worst, be aware!!!

Original review: Oct. 9, 2022

Recently, my mom put the code in, and the alarm went off, and then we couldn’t get it to shut off. We had to unplug it. When they tried to disarm it over the phone, nothing they had was working. So, they came out. When they came out, they said, “This is a really old system. We’ll just replace it.” They were very helpful. The service in person and over the phone when we were troubleshooting, was great. It's really nice to have the door alerts when they're left open or opened unexpectedly. It's also nice to have the app to control everything from our phones. The system has been great so far. It gives us peace of mind when we have to leave the house for an extended period of time, or if we’re just heading out, running errands. I would definitely recommend ADT. Everything's been super easy. It’s not as expensive as I was expecting as well. It's been really convenient to use and set up.

ADT gave us a good installation deal that allowed us to afford the service. We had to have them send us one thing about a year ago because we had a false alarm. They said maybe the curtain had blown in the house while we were gone and it triggered it. But it's all good and the system has never failed us.

Original review: Sept. 26, 2022

I have been an ADT customer for several years. Until recently I had no issues with them but that has changed. ADT has caused me to miss three days of work, spend countless hours on the phone & as of the date that I am writing this review, put my house and family at risk because of their faulty equipment. One day I just happened to notice that my ADT installed "cell phone box" was not operating. There weren't any lights or indications that the box was on which to me appeared to be strange. This purpose of this box is to send an alert to the police or fire department in case of an emergency so if it's not working your house and family could be vulnerable.

I immediately called ADT to talk to a technician. We both verified that the box was not working and that a technician would have to come out to repair it. ADT informed me that there would be a service charge (~$49) to which I replied begrudgingly, "Why should I have to pay for a defective ADT device that so critical to my security?" I also asked why I had not been notified that a critical component such as a cell phone box was not operating. The tech told me that ADT had tried to call me about it but said they only called once. I saw no voicemail or any record of such a call but still – why only one phone call about something as important as this?! I agreed to the charge and a tech was scheduled to come to my house a few days later.

I called ADT before the appointment date and inquired about buying a flood light. They gave me a price and wanted to charge me an additional $250 to have an electrician install it. I declined this offer and told them that I would install it myself. I gave them my credit card credentials & thought I purchased the flood light. As you will find out later in this review this was not the case. I was also told that the technician coming to fix my cell phone box was also going to install the flood light.

The day came that the technician was to come to my house. The appointment was set between the hours of 8am-Noon so I took off work. The ADT technician never came. I called ADT and was told that since I bought a camera, the original service appointment that I made was expunged. The ADT rep I was talking to couldn't even see the original appointment (ticket). They also told me that technical service calls and product installation were two different things and that product installation takes precedence. In my case that meant that the camera needed to be added before the technician could come out. I had to miss a day of work because ADT never told me that my original appointment had been cancelled.

Though I had been inconvenienced and had missed a day of work, I decided to add another device to my order and proceeded to give my credit card credential to buy a Google Nest doorbell camera. After having gone through all of my complaints with the rep they assured me that this time everything would be fine and that my cameras and cell phone box would be fixed in one visit. This would not be the case as you will soon discover.

On the day of my appointment two technicians arrived between the 8-12 time window. However, they only came with the doorbell camera. They knew nothing about the cell phone box or the floodlight that I had purchased. To make matters worse, they told me that the cameras that I had bought would not work with my older ADT Pulse system. Wow! Never did anyone from ADT tell me that my new cameras were incompatible though one tech did try to sell me on their new system which I declined. One of the techs on the scene sympathized with my frustration and called in to talk with a manager. The tech told me that she would try and get me a new system (not including cameras) and that she would help me make a new appointment. She also told me that everything would work out when they came back.

The day before my next appointment when everything was to be fixed, I saw a confirmation email that required me to click a button confirming the time. The appointment time was supposed to be between Noon – 4pm? However, I confirmed the appointment anyway and took another day off of work to be there just in case ADT arrived early or late. ADT never showed?! In fact, they called my wife at 4:30pm, not me, and told her that they were running late and wanted to know if they could come over around 5pm. I told my wife to decline for I had made other plans by then and didn't want them going to the house without me being there. I told my wife to tell them to schedule for the following Wednesday.

I called ADT a day or two later and spoke to several reps. Eventually I was transferred to the product/installation department because I wanted to confirm that I had purchased two very expensive cameras. I told the rep my whole story. She was not able to confirm much but was able tell me that I had purchased one doorbell camera. I told her that I had also bought a flood light camera and even gave ADT my card. After 30 minutes of this I went to my online banking accounts in search of the charges. I saw no charges from ADT whatsoever!

The rep eventually said with an apologetic tone something to the effect, "Oh Mr. ** you won't be charged for the cameras until they are installed." Pray tell why this rep didn't tell me this 30 minutes earlier? I recall telling the rep to cancel and and all pending appointments and that I no longer wished to buy ADT or Google Nest cameras. I recall had to excuse myself from this call but knew that this matter had not been resolved and that I would need to call back ADT later.

I recall it was a Monday (9/19/22) that I called the ADT general number in order to talk to someone in the scheduling department. At this point I gone in a "Full Circle". All I wanted was to have ADT come fix my cell phone box BUT there was no way I was going to pay a service fee. I had missed several days of work and had been strung along by ADT and their ineptitude scheduling & servicing inadequacies. The rep took notes and apparently deferred my case to a supervisor. The rep told that someone should be contacting me shortly. It's been a day later and nobody from ADT has reached out to my knowledge. I have been doing research online about other security companies and have learned a lot. I landed on a website that educates visitors on the best home security systems. I am likely going to chose one of these and say good riddance to ADT.

I have a very good experience with ADT. I’ve had their service for eight years and it might even be longer. I live in a corner home and we had somebody stealing stuff out of our backyard. I had installed my personal cameras that were not connected to ADT and then, possibly five years ago, we had a cold winter and it froze all the lines and the cameras died. It was out of warranty so, I decided I was gonna get ADT’s cameras. If something happens, they were responsible for replacing them. It was included in whatever I pay every month. I have three cameras on my house. When I call, I always have a very good experience. They always help me with whatever issue it is. They try to walk me through it and if I cannot do it on my own, they will send a tech out.

I’ve recommended ADT to my mother who lives in Virginia and I had that put on her doors down there. I also recommended them to a neighbor on 80th street because there were some shenanigans going on next to her. ADT’s reps have always been very pleasant, kind and helpful, no matter the issue is, even if it’s so minute that I should have been able to figure it out myself. ADT has always been there for me.

The system works. I like it. It's good and convenient. The comfort of knowing it's there. One time, I was cooking and fried up something on the stove. It got smoky and it set off the alarms. I didn't get the smoke alarms off in time and the fire department came. The respose time was very good. It was a faster than I could react to say, "No, it's not real." I'm very satisfied with ADT.

ADT's really nice feature is their glass-break technology, where you don't have to tap the windows. You put those sensors around the house and they detect glass breaking. The installation went really well. I love ADT because I can manage everything on my iPhone. From the account to monitoring the cameras to settings, I can do it all on my mobile device. It's dependable. The keypad works really nicely. It's a more complex system, but simpler to use. I had some significant savings upfront with ADT and I have cameras now. I traded an $80 a month bill for a landline and almost $40 a month for monitoring with Monitronics for $70 with ADT.

Before, they used to come and service me, like they check all my alarm and if it needs a battery. But now, the last couple of times, they don't come and I'm a little disappointed. Because it always shows on my panel that triangle. It means I missed something. I called so many times. They said that they don't service. I pay every month. So why don’t I get the service like once a year for them to come and check everything? They increase every month, but the service is getting poorer.

I'm satisfied with ADT. They seem to do a good job. We have no complaints, except for one little thing that happened. We have five doors that are under the alarm system, and if someone opened up one of the doors, it would say, "Front door has been opened." But the fella came in to replace a monitor and he removed those for some reason. I've asked twice to how I can get those back, and I've never got an answer. I'd like to have my sounds back when the door opens. Other than that, the system is good. I travel up into Georgia, and I can check on the house and see if it's still running or if my house is still here. My state of the security with the alarm system is really good.

I like ADT's service. When I go out, I set up my alarm on the app on the phone and that's good. I just have a sensor on my door and a sensor for the attic so nobody will come in through the roof. When the rates went up very crazy, I called them up to cancel. But the supervisor called and talked to me. They worked out a deal with me, $23 and change monthly, and it is a great plan. But I got to stay on top of it and I hope that when it's time to renew, they keep it that way.

We've had two techs here, one that did the install, then one who came back to do the replacement on one of the sensors. Both gentlemen knew what they were doing. They did it in a timely fashion, explained things to me that I could understand, and sometimes, that, in itself, is a task. Overall, they were very professional, and did their job. The equipment seems to be quality as well, and when we needed service, which we had a faulty sensor, that was taken care of in an appropriate timeframe. Customer service seems to be decent, although sometimes I can’t understand them. It’s that accent thing.

We've had some experiences where our daughter has come into the house and forgot to turn the alarm off, and I've immediately gotten a phone call. The quickness of the response was good, and all I had to do is turn the alarm off via phone. I have the app, so it was no big deal. ADT should stay competitive with the alarm world that’s out there. They got a lot of competitors that want to change me for cheaper price, but I’m a loyal customer. If they can hang in there with being reasonably priced, I will continue being their customer.

I wanted to upgrade and get something more modern, and the installation went well. The guy that installed the system gave me a description of what he was putting in, and I knew what type of system I was getting before I got it. It took him a little longer ‘cause he had to put in surveillance cameras. ‘Cause my old system, I didn't have surveillance cameras. I do on this one, and I like that I can look at my animals outside when I'm inside the house and check on them, my dogs and cats, and make sure they're okay. Plus, when I'm away from home, I can see my property through my telephone. Overall, ADT is a good company. They’ve been around for a long time.

Original review: Sept. 19, 2022

ADT is the worst company when it comes to security camera equipment and customer service. I got outdoor cameras which were installed from a third party company. I have to go through another separate application to check the outdoor camera video. I also got indoor cameras which I need a different application to check the video (ADT app). All which is very inconvenient and a pain. The app for outdoor cameras takes absolutely too long to load up. Outdoor camera video freezes and pixelates almost all the time. The motion is delayed as well. ADT tried to blame my internet signal which was tested every time they sent out a technician and was working just fine.

I tried cancelling my whole ADT service in December 2021 because I was within the 6 month money back guarantee but they said there was a procedure to follow. That they had to send technicians to check the problem first. They sent about four different technicians which didn't fix anything. About 3 months pass and still nothing. I contacted customer service several times spoke to a lot of different people including all supervisors. They said it was up to the supervisor here at the local ADT office to escalate and cancel my service. I NEVER ONCE SPOKE TO THIS PERSON! UP TO PRESENT DAY STILL NOTHING! I can't fathom how this is possible and why it's so hard to contact a customer and perform a simple cancellation!

I even emailed corporate about the cancellation as directed by customer service. Every time ADT calls I can repeat what they are going to tell me before they get to it because I have talked to so many representatives and they all do the very same thing every time. They transfer me to account management, take my number put it in the notes on the account, transfer me to a supervisor, they send a message to local ADT office, they say I will get contacted in 48 to 72 hours, and then... NOTHING! I still have this stupid service and just stopped paying it. I have proof I attempted to cancel within the 6 month guarantee whenever they feel like contacting me.

Original review: Sept. 18, 2022

We had a fire in August of last year and everything was destroyed so we had no ADT equipment that was functional. We got the equipment reinstalled and I thought everything would be going good. But we had a battery go low in one of the boxes and I called and I got people I couldn't understand because their accents were so strong. One gentleman was going to tell me how to do the box myself and replace the battery but I said I'm in my 70s. I can't climb up on a ladder and I can't do that stuff. He said he was going to transfer me to appointments.

I would call every morning and I would get put on hold for 45 minutes or they would call me back. The first two times, I took a call back, and when they called me back, they said they had to transfer me and it was another 45-minute wait. It took me almost two weeks before I was able to get someone out here. A tech came yesterday morning and there was a service charge for them to come and do anything, which they didn't have before. It was a nightmare. We had ADT for 10 years and I had never had problems like this.

Up to this point, we had had really good ADT service. When I had to call for any information on anything, I got someone I could understand and who could help me quickly and walk me through things. Also, they were very responsive and quick with the alerts. When the fire happened, we were in a no cell area for a period of time on that day so I did not get the ADT alert. They called my sister and before they called her, they called the police. When my sister got here, the police were already here and the alarms were all going off. In a matter of seconds, the fire departments were already coming. But this last experience, it took almost two weeks to get a battery replaced, I couldn't understand people, and I was constantly put to wait. That just blew me away. People have schedules and they have work commitments. They can't be waiting 45 minutes and plus for someone to come on the phone.

I’ve been with ADT for a long time. Everything's been awesome. When something goes wrong, I can call in and they hurry up and fix it over, help me get it correct. If not, they’ll send someone out and they’re always very polite. They upgraded and gave me a new key fob. They made sure everything was working. If I come in and I set something off, they make sure to ask me questions, like if I'm okay and if I can talk. They do what they are supposed to do to make sure that I'm safe.

I've been very pleased with ADT. We have a surrounding area that's quite dark and I feel good about having the system. When anything goes off and I don't get to the phone quickly enough or shut off the phone, I get a phone call to see if everything is okay. We've been very satisfied with their response and everything. My last dealing was shortly ago and the rep talked us through getting the battery put back into the kitchen detector which was on the ceiling. It was hard to get to but we did and then it was starting to come off the ceiling. The screw had lost its grip, so he sent some double-sided tape and other instructions.

Updated on 09/23/2022: Apologies for the delay. I was waiting for a Branch Manager to contact me. They finally contacted me last night. Once again, an ADT rep told me that "DON'T WORRY IF YOUR CAMS GO DOWN AND DON'T RECONNECT. IF SOMEONE BREAKS IN YOU HAVE ADT." I am so livid with the customer service provided. I have cams so I don't get victimized by a break in. They said someone would be here today between 8am and 9am. THEY ARE A NO SHOW. I am getting ready to leave this property for the winter. I am now having to have a secondary security company to come duplicate the security that ADT has been paid for but can not provide or assure that it will work. According to the 8 ADT reps that have provided me with customer service, none of the associates have trust in what the previous rep is telling me. It is such a mess. This is a 5 year contract valued at near 10,000 dollars. It's a mess.

Updated on 09/18/2022: So I posted this week about ADT poor performance this week. Still no resolution. Another call from virtual tech support who said once again that the previous rep was wrong with information provided. STILL NO CALL FROM BRANCH MANAGER. ONCE AGAIN MY CAMERA IS OFF WITH NO NOTIFICATION. THIS IS CRAZY. DON'T GO THROUGH WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH.

Original Review: Into my 5th hour of trying to resolve my 35 day old system failure. Still with every tech/customer service person the previous agent doesn't know what they are talking about. It's a mess. Now to find out my cam was never going to work properly per tech support. The wifi trend speed was too low for my camera to ever work. It never should have been put in. Now they want to charge me 2000 plus to do take the system that does not work out. Beware of ADT. Their reimbursement period is 3 days! Plus the installer told me this was a month to month contract. I guess we are going to court.

ADT works fine. The only issue I had was when we sold our one house and moved into our other house, I let them know that we were moving and that I needed to cancel from one address until we got to the other address, and they tried to charge me early termination. They tried to charge me for months that we were no longer in the other house. It was quite an issue, but we got it taken care of.

Sometimes, my ADT malfunctions if it’s offline. It's alerting me of the motion in the house but I don't have pets and no one is there. I can play it back but I'm not seeing anything. That happens a lot. It also has a delay. If I walk by the camera on the inside of the house, it’s not in real-time. My keypad is also in the center of a whole big wall. The tech claimed he couldn't put it over where I wanted it to be. I also had the glass break alarm go off a couple of times, but no one ever called. When they were setting up the alarm, too, something went off but they didn't call me, they called the guy that was installing it. Nothing went through to me. I wouldn't recommend ADT. I'm about to cancel this contract.

Robbed in April, Robbed again before we could even file a report. While trying to contact ADT, I set the Alarm off, cancelled within 60 seconds, but the police and fire trucks showed up while I was on the phone with ADT. ADT was to stay on the phone while the police asked their questions, but ADT hung up. I called ADT back, but they had to escalate, and have someone call me back.

I waited 3 days, I called ADT back, but Again, they had to escalate, and have someone call me back. I waited 6 days, I called ADT back, and yet Again, they had to escalate, and have someone call me back. May came And I called again, but Again, they had to escalate, and have someone call me back. This time I said, "If no one is going to call me back, please cancel my account." June came And I called again, but Again, they had to escalate, and have someone call me back.

Aug, same pattern... In Sept, they sent me an Email that my AM EX was getting charged... So I called again, and again they said they would have to escalate and have someone call me back... I said no, "I will wait." They said, "It is a 30 minute wait." I reminded them that, "I have to wait over 45 minutes every time I call, what's another 30, I will wait," after waiting, I got another customer service person and was put on hold again. I am now filing my BBB complaint, I want my money back for every month and every penny I ever spent with ADT. I want my contract cancelled, they can come get their product and we can go our separate ways.

In December of 2021 I received a price increase from ADT on my 10 year old alarm system. I called to contest it and they agreed to keep the rate at the old price for three years. However, subsequent bills were at the new higher rate. I continued to pay quarterly at the old agreed upon rate. Finally I called and they admitted they agreed to the lower rate but said they could not honor it and I would have to pay the higher rate. When I asked for a supervisor they disconnected me. When I called to cancel my service they again hung up on me. If anyone thinks Comcast service is bad, ADT takes bad to a whole new level. Worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Corrupt way of operating.

We've been in ADT for many years and we like their service. It's secure. Whenever we have a problem, they send a technician out to fix it and it is probably because we are senior citizens and there are things we cannot do. The techs are very nice and always very pleasant and helpful. ADT is the way to go. Right now, our ADT system is through our Spectrum telephone and the price of Spectrum keeps on going up. To have the ADT system go through our telephone is quite costly so the way it’s going now is on a cellphone.

I love ADT's service. It’s all user-friendly. It's on the app and I've never had any issues with it. So, it’s seamless. I use it every day and the interface on it is easy. There’s not a bunch of buttons you have to click through. You literally go in there, arm your system and disarm it as needed. The only issue I've ever had was with a sensor. I had to take it off and reapply it because it was too close to the threshold of the door so the sliding door would knock it off sometimes when closing. But it’s nothing. You just need to make sure the sensors are in the right spot when installed.

I was a loyal customer to ADT with 2 home and 2 business locations. Today I cancelled my last home account and the remaining ones and switched to Ring. ADT customer service has been rude, arrogant and made me feel like I was inconveniencing them. I had an issue with my doorbell cam. They charge me $63 to come out to look at it and "fix it". It never got fixed. The issue continued through the last 6 months. When I called to initially cancel they did not even offer to take that fee off immediately. NO. When I called to cancel TODAY now they offered me a new camera and to waive that fee.

I did not break the camera, it just stopped recording. I did nothing I never even touched the settings. PLUS it took them almost 2 weeks to come out. They locked me into a contract for 3 years at my new house. My office I was so upset we actually paid the 70% or whatever it was of the remaining contract to get out of this. Crooks with horrible customer service, no follow up and hands down the worst business practices I have ever seen. They will never see a penny from me again in my home or business.

USE A NEW COMPANY, THEY WILL SET YOU UP FOR FREE FOR BEING A NEW CUSTOMER. ADT told me that my move would be free and I would be given a new doorbell (since I had a ring at my old house), and my installation/equipment would be free and to leave all of my old equipment at my old house. They would install everything from my old house into my new house. In the end I got about half the protection I had and they charged me $1000. When I called to explain I was on the phone for 3 hours with 10 different people trying to get to the correct department and when I reached the right person (after saying I’d just want to cancel) it was going to cost $1100 to cancel since I was on day 7 and my “trial period” that ended day 3. Now I am locked into a contract until the end of 2025. ADVICE: get set up by a new company for free as a new customer.

At my new house the technicians installed:
- 1 alarm system with 4 sensors
- 1 auto lock for a door
- 2 smoke detectors (I added these)

- 1 google doorbell (told would be free)

At my old house I had:
- 1 alarm system with 9 sensors
- 2 auto lock for doors
- 3 area sensors
- (already had old smoke detectors)
- 2 outdoor cameras
- 1 indoor camera
- a glass break detector

- an auto light switch

Hello, We apologize for any frustration this has caused you and your family. We believe in being transparent and our terms and conditions are listed on the last pages of the contract and when the contact is signed you agree to the terms. Thank you

I cut the system on at night and cut it off in the morning. It comes on and goes off. So, it works. I opened the door before I cut it off. They called and asked if I was okay. I would tell anybody about ADT.

My ADT system batteries were low and the system was beeping. I called ADT and waited, oh hold, for 45 minutes (with a promise of a 30 minute wait time). While waiting, I attempted to troubleshoot and follow website instructions. Very poorly written, I disabled the beeping on the 3 devices and was instructed to disconnect the power to the system. Although beeping stopped on the monitoring panel, it continued on a fire detector.

I finally got a technician that told me that he couldn't help me, and to send a technician to my home to troubleshoot and replace batteries, it would be $59.00. I asked to cancel my account. He attempted to transfer me, but then dropped the call. I called back, got an agent, said she would transfer me, and I am now on hold another 40 minutes. I had to (as a single person) get on a ladder to take my smoke detector down and take the batteries out. (The technician told me I had to go to a convenience store and get a 3Volt battery, there are 3 AAA batteries in the device). My home is now unprotected and I have been an ADT customer for 9 years. When it works, it is great, but any technical support or upgrade is a NIGHTMARE.

ADT response

Our apologies for any troubles, Toni- Standard battery replacement on products installed in your home are generally not covered under service plans ADT offers. Normal wear and tear and or faulty equipment replacement or assistance is covered, but battery care would be the responsibility of the user. ADT can mail system and device batteries as requested to your home and we can offer a virtual service appointment to help assist with the changing of the sensor batteries as needed, free of charge. If further assistance is needed, we encourage you to re connect with us by calling 1 800 238 2727 for additional assistance. Thank you!

I'm very pleased with ADT. I'll stay with them. I like how easy it is to program, to set when I leave or go to bed. I had one experience where I needed something. I called ADT and they had somebody come and replace it. But they ended up charging me $250. Somebody else called me from ADT and I was explaining I didn't think that I should have to pay that after I have paid ADT for 23 years. The rep said, "You shouldn't have to pay for that in the future."

I also kept noticing my rates going up. I kept seeing these advertisements that say "Sign up with ADT and you can get it for $33 a month." I called in and asked why was everybody else getting these deals but I was paying a whole lot more. It isn't fair when you've been with them so long and they keep trying to get people to sign up but they forget about us that's been paying them forever. They ended up taking my bill down to that sales promotion that was going on and that's what they charge me every month. But there was one condition. I had to stay with them, at least, five more years.

1. Our alarm service had been deactivated due to "inactivity". We had not turned the alarm on since were home all the time. Hence we could not got into my ADT account and could not do anything online. Wanted to cancel the service; wait time was an hour at least each time and then would get disconnected. Terrible time dealing with them. It has been 3 hours and I am still waiting on line.

I like that ADT offered the Ring doorbell as part of the package, and there was no added charge. Recently, I was upgraded. Previously, it wasn't quite as user-friendly. It was a little bit clumsier. This new one is simplified and more user-friendly. With the old one, we could secure the house from both phones but after they did an upgrade, we had problems with that. But when they put this new system in and we set up our phones, it's been flawless. We're satisfied. When I call ADT to get an answer, I get no problems with the service from that standpoint.

I regretted signing up for a contract with ADT. The worst and oldest equipment, exorbitant fees, strings attached (3 years of service). I am pretty confident once most of the contracts will expire, it will be big trouble for ADT since competitors are far better. Unfortunately, I didn't do my due diligence before choosing ADT.

We had ADT up in Kentucky. We moved to Florida and moved the service down here. They just installed it today. The tech seemed very knowledgeable. He knew what he was doing. It's a newer system. He showed me everything and how to scroll through the menu. He helped me put it on my phone. ADT has been good. They've been good up in Kentucky, too.

I've had a couple of glitches, but my customer service rep, Zach, has been great to help me figure out the problems. He was quick to respond. We couldn't hardly figure out this last problem, but he stayed on the phone with me till I tried several things to figure it out. When I text him, he always gets back to me. I'm very happy with everything, so far. I'm working on my second year with ADT. I probably won't need the system because the neighborhood is quite safe here. But depending on if I'm given a customer discount to go a third year, I will keep it. The corporate office was good to give me a discount on my first year.

Whenever something needs the technician right away and I would call ADT, they would say that I have to pay for the technician to come. But when I say that I'm paying for the service protection, they would say that was not included in what I was paying for. So eventually, they would connect me to the loyalty program reps and when I talk to them, they would waive the fee for the technician to come here. But when you call, you don't get to that department right away. You have to be connected by the customer representative. Then, the last time that a tech was here, the guy was not wearing a mask and after two weeks, I tested positive for COVID. Other than that, ADT responds to you when you have a problem and they take care of it. I have also referred some of my neighbors to them.

The representatives that I had were good. I’ve had the system for so long but this newer upgrade went down because of a problem that I had there. I had the ADT reps come in to get the camera. They had a program that I could get the doorbell camera but they couldn't hook it up because the Wi-Fi wasn't connecting from the back. I was very disappointed about that. But it wasn't their fault. Other than that, their services were very good. I'm very happy with ADT. I feel safer because if I open the door by mistake, then I get a call from ADT and I have to give them my PIN number and who I am, before they’ll call the police for me.

I had a conversation with one of ADT's reps, Fernando, going back three weeks ago, and he knew the issue I was having. I was trying to get through to ADT. I was waiting 20 minutes, and the automated system offered the chat option. I was on a chat with somebody and the chat ended really quick without the rep acknowledging my issue. With that said, I finally got through with a gentleman. I called him back and he said, “I'll take care of you.” He sent me a battery, and I was good to go. I put a nice review on the website for ADT, to let him know, "Thank you for what you did for me."

The waiting time was harsh though. It's a good thing I didn’t need somebody right away, because I have been waiting a while, unless the answering service would have been different if an alarm did go off. I just hope ADT would have been on top of it more so than me calling and waiting that long period of time that I did that one day. Other than that, I’m happy with the service. The installation was good, and I'm happy with the features of the system as well. The panel is nice, and everything is situated in the hotspots that I needed for the alarms on the doors, the sliding doors, and windows.

Absolutely the WORST company. Not only is the customer service atrocious with every phone call being on hold for hours with several transfers (We were literally on hold once for 2 hours straight having to listen to how ADT saved some person's dog), but the entire staff is incompetent. We tried to move our service to a new address and since we switched from homeowners to renting, we had to switch to Blue by ADT. The agents told us, if we did, it would waive our cancelation fees since we were 1 year into our contract. They set up our account and everything.

2 months later, we got collection agencies calling us to collect our 1,800 cancelation fees. Turns out, ADT stepped on their dealers toes, over reached their contract, and tricked us into another contract all under false pretenses. If you just signed an ADT, cancel it within 3 days!!! GET OUT.. the real buglers are ADT and their dealers. The systems are fancy with bells and whistles, but it's all worthless.

I've had a very excellent experience with ADT. Everything I ever asked, they took care of. The system works fine. However, they put a camera on the porch and it's useless. If there’s a car out your 20 feet, you can't read anything on it. You can't recognize anybody. They’d have to be right in front of it to recognize anybody. It is a waste. Other than that, I feel secure with their system.

I love ADT. If I have a problem, they come out right away and do whatever is necessary. Any time the alarm goes off or if we have a weather problem and temporarily all the power goes off, they notify and let me know. When it comes back on, they'll also notify me and let me know the time it was back on. I had a couple of batteries go out a couple of times and they came out and changed those, and told me how to change them in the future and what to look for. The alarm system is fine, just expensive. But everything else is expensive. I'm happy with what I have.

ADT has been good to us so far. They have the best initial offer in terms of equipment but I'd probably tell others to try and find some place cheaper that doesn't raise rates every year. Also, the panel sucks and the equipment drains batteries quickly. It's a pain to unlock the app but outside of that, it works well. The agents have been excellent.

Purchased ADT home security system back in March of 2022. The cameras are already having issues especially the doorbell camera all conveniently stopped working after my warranty is up. Now they want more money just to send a tech out for repairs. I initially was told by their company that the issue was with my internet and I needed an extender. I purchased the extender for the Wifi and the cameras are still not up to par. Now after more phone calls with this company, I told them I am not paying extra money for a tech to come out and it. They proceeded to argue and remind me of the contract I signed. I told them I will be canceling my service once my contract is up. The "supervisor's" exact words were, "That is totally fine." Not only do they not stand by their products, they have horrible customer service and are money hungry. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND LOOK ELSEWHERE!

The system has been good. But I had my phone switched over to another phone, and I had a hard time getting it back on there. It has a triangle and a one in it.

I was on the phone for three hours, because when it comes to electronic stuff, I don't know that much. But I finally got it on there. Also, I have been calling up because I have retired and on a fixed income. They have been lowering my bill. I will have to call them again and see if they will keep lowering it for me.

No matter the reason or tears cried they only want my money and have no sympathy or offer any exceptions to their contract terms. They are thieves and heartless people. On top of that each time I tried to call and cancel I was placed on hold for an hour or so. I was bounced around from the people who cancel to the accounting people to collect the remaining amount on my contract. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ADT SERVICE!!!!

I've been with ADT for almost 20 years and I'm very happy with them. I got one of those fall pendants to wear because I have a bad leg and balance issues. I wear that all the time so in case I fall, I can get help. That's been excellent. I also had a water sensor put in to the basement and that was a problem because the first fellow that put it in was not properly trained. It kept going off making false alarms. That was a pain in the neck. They had to have somebody come back and reset it. After that, it got straightened out. The system works good. The only thing is the price per month keeps going up. I'm on a fixed income now so it's a little difficult trying to keep up with payments on everything.

I couldn't access the app because when I would ask for a password reset it would send me to their site but there is nowhere to reset password. I have been 1.5 months now without security and it is **. I have to pay for a product I cannot use. I've emailed customer support on multiple occasions and I have not received any response.

I've been with ADT since 2009. Their customer service has been incredible. They've been good to me. I've done two upgrades. I have cameras and the quality and resolution are good. However, it was disappointing because I was having some problems with my sensors before and they said, "We can't do anything with your sensors. Because they should never put these old ones in there. But because they did, you're stuck with them." For the first nine years I had these outdated sensors that would cause it to alarm unnecessarily. But I have all the new equipment now.

We had issues with a flood sensor. We called to make an appointment at where we were given a virtual appointment instead of a technician coming to the house. We had to reschedule another appointment. When the technician came he did not have the sensor. He called his manager and the manager said he would credit us 2 months. The manager never put it in the system. We canceled our Saturday plans for a new appointment and guess what happened? The technician was double booked and had to come on Sunday instead. So not only were we lied to but we had to cancel our weekends plans. We foolishly signed a three contract! The billing woman told me to write a letter.

Hi Lisa! Our apologies for the troubles with the sensor and in getting this repaired. We do show that a month credit was placed on the account, however as a gesture of good will, we have reversed that credit and placed a two month credit total on the account as you mentioned this was offered to you. We appreciate you as a customer, and thank you for connecting with us online!

This is our second home and we've had them install their services. They're prompt, attentive, and dedicated to what they do and say. Overall customer service satisfaction is excellent. I'm happy with ADT. We've had it for over 10-plus years.

I spend a lot of money on my plan with ADT… to begin, once you receive a notification that motion has been detected, you have to go into the app and see what’s going on. However, 99% of the time I click to see what’s going on, the video does not work. I then have to hurry and exit the app then come back in. By then, the person is gone and I have to wait sometimes 10 mins before I can see the saved video. By then, if a crime were to be taking place, it would be too late. Additionally, one of the products I have is the doorbell. I was told that the doorbell was hard-wired and wouldn’t need to be charged. However, my doorbell is not working and keeps notifying me of a “critically low battery”.

When I contact ADT customer support, they tell me I will have to pay $59 for a technician to look at it. Additionally, I am told that I need to charge the doorbell manually, by going to a “Walmart” or “Dollar General” and buying a micro USB cord… because they don’t provide it to the customer paying $2,200. The best they can do for me is schedule a virtual technician to help me fix the product they have supplied me. And if it’s not resolved, I’ll be left paying for a product that does not work, with a company who does not care about their customers.

ADT has been amazing. I live in Florida and I have ADT’s service at a small residence in North Carolina with my mom's home. My mom passed but I still keep the home up right and available. Someone broke into my home into the garage area about 1:00 in the morning. The ADT system went off perfectly as it should. My Ring device kept clicking and woke me up. I was able to get up, see the people actively breaking in, got still pictures bounced off to another device and called local law enforcement. I sent the pictures to local law enforcement and they arrested the people. The people were still there, loading their vehicle with the tools from my garage. I will definitely forever be an ADT advocate.

I like ADT because they call every month and check if everything is okay. Even if I'm not here, they call my daughter and wonder where we're at. Then I can call them back and let them know we're okay. I would recommend ADT in a heartbeat to anybody that needed protection because things are happening and they’re right on it. My son was fixing up one of the outlets in the kitchen. He turned the electric off and ADT called right in, saying that my phone had been interrupted.
