    I looked at ADT's groundwork and decided that ADT was better for me. I reached out to customer service for an issue, and they've tried to fix it but it still ain’t fixed. My camera records when it wants to. And when I need it to, it doesn't record. They tried to fix it. It was working while they were on the phone with me, but once they hung up, it stopped working completely. I got nothing recorded now in three days. I called again this morning to ask them to send somebody out to check it out. They said, the camera can be bad, but nobody is replacing this camera. The camera is old. It's time for it to be replaced.

    The rest of my package is outstanding. It fits my lifestyle perfectly. It's a great alarm system to have once they work out the little few quirks they have in it. I get great customer service, too. I call them when I get ready to go out of town. When the alarms go off, I told them to call the police, then call me. We go out of town a lot, so I rather for them to call authorities first because nobody's supposed to be here. That works out outstanding for me.

    In 2010, we were in another city, and the alarm went off and they called me. I said, “No, send the police. I'm on my way.” It took us an hour and a half to get here. When we got here, they had the person who had kicked the door. So that's why I call and tell them that when I'm out of town, if the alarm goes off, they should call the authorities before calling me. If there's a malfunction, I'm gonna get to the box and turn it off. When they call me, I’d give them the passcode and they can disarm it. Ever since that incident happened, that's the way I do it. I'm glad I do it that way.

    Somebody told me in February last year that I was going to get a rate deduction because of how long I had been with ADT. But I've never seen that. It's been over 20 years that I've been using them and the service has been good. I just arm and disarm the alarm. I have the doorbell camera where I can see when someone's at the door, but beyond those few things, there are no other features I really use.

    ADT is a popular home security service. Plus, my neighbor has had it for several years. I signed up with them and I've been a customer for about a year. I've had great interactions with their representatives. There was only one person that installed everything, and he was really good. The service package that I got fits my needs fine. I have no problem with it. My son did set the alarm off one time, but there was no problem with that.

    After 9 years of being an ADT customer and always paying on time, I decided to cancel my subscription because they refused to fix a system problem (the system could not receive the signal, a problem they said was due to the outdated system I still had after so many years). Bottom line, the system wasn’t working for over two months and I was paying for a non-existing service. I called in March of 2026 to report my problem and they promised to send out a technician during a time when I would be there since I work. They at first told me there was a fee, but I said that I would rather cancel my subscription, so they said they would waive it. Which would have been great had the technician come at the designated time. Instead, he came when I was at work and left a note that he had passed by but nobody had been home.

    I called again and, in frustration, asked them to cancel my subscription, but then the representative offered me a new contract for less than I was paying and an upgraded system. Great, right? Except that the contract I received was totally different than the one promised. It showed a higher rate and an installation fee of 105 dollars! I made many calls, during which they apologized and said they would send me the correct, new contract. They did not want to let me go because I was a good customer, they said, but they never sent a correctly revised contract.

    I was finally able to cancel the subscription but was asked to pay a 25 dollars as a cancellation fee. They would not listen to me that I had paid for two months for no service and sent me the current month’s bill too! I asked to speak to a manager and after much insistence, he came on but would not listen to me and only made believe that he was sorry about the whole situation. He wouldn’t budge on a refund for the time I was without service nor concede that it was basically the company’s fault. Now I have installed a new system that is not ADT and am very happy with it.

    ADT had to come out a few times. I thought they were a little pricey for what I got because they charge for every little thing and I didn't get chance to get the break window. But that's my only complaint. I have them since 2017 and the service has been pretty decent. I've have been offered. We are the type that if it's not broke, we're not going to try and fix it. But like anything else, the price would go up on everything and I didn’t like that. So anyone thinking about using ADT should be careful with the prices that they offer for this or that. Other than that, I like how they got the camera set up. I used to have something different with them but I like what I have now. I also like their customer service and the system.

    ADT has excellent customer service. Since having our alarm, I feel safe when I'm not at home. If somebody broke in, at least it would be a deterrent, but at any rate, hopefully, the police will get here in a quick enough time. It seems like it takes a moment for everything to materialize. By the time the alarm goes off, and then by the time the call comes in, somebody’s ran in and ran out already. I guess for insurance purposes, I'd have a police report to be able to write up. Nonetheless, it did make me happy just feeling more safer.

    ADT is a good company to go with. When they put everything in, they explained it, and they explained about the price. They explained about what I need, like did I needed the kind of thing to be in the kitchen where somebody rings my doorbell and I can see them on the porch. They explained all the options, but you don't have to go with all of them options. They just explained it because that's their job. They didn’t try to push their service on me. They explained it, and everybody needs security. Everything was self-explanatory. If the alarm was set off, ADT would blow my phone up and get on top of that. And the police would be around here. Also, ADT's reps are kind. They don't try to rush me off the phone. I have time to explain what the problem is.

    I was on the phone with someone and they interested me in getting ADT. I thought it would be a good thing since my husband passed away last October. I can handle their price and they're nice people. The service has been great so far. I don't have to lock my doors and I don't want to lock my doors because I’d get outside and if I need to get in a door, I don't want to have to carry a key around with me. I live up on a hill in the country, there are coyotes and raccoons out here, and you never know whether a wild dog is going to come around. I have three doors and if I need to get in the house, I don't want to have to go around and unlock a door. But the alarm will still go off if the door is open, if it's set.

    I also have a fob that I can carry if I fall, or if I need assistance right away. If there are wild animals out here that are looking like they're going to do something to me, I can push a red button on the fob, and I can have somebody here within a few minutes. And it gives me that protection. I've got a monitor in the house that if glass is broken, it will set the alarm off. In addition, I have a setting on the fob that I can set it at night. It's called "stay at home" mode. The doors are not locked, but if they're opened, the alarm will go off. I like the security of it. It's really a good thing to have, especially when you live alone.

    I know there were several security systems available. I heard on TV about ADT and I saw it in a neighborhood. I signed up with them and it was easy, but some of those people installing the thing were always on the phone. And no matter what you ask that guy, you had to take his phone off his ears. But it was not that hard and I looked online too to help.

    The price is a little bit high but the system is easy to use. We had power failure at some time where it was beeping loud every 10 minutes and there was no way I could stop the beeping. But that was the only problem. I had a new policy with a Spectrum and I had a new system. So, I had to call ADT because I couldn't push some buttons to change the doorbell. But there was no problem and the panel is easy to use. ADT usually checks the system once a month and whenever I accidentally set the alarm off, their response has been very fast. Sometimes I'd forget and open the door, and they'd call me. Also, I had a daughter who was with me when I installed my ADT, and she thought it was easy to do.

    I've used their service for almost five years now. The service used to be very good but now, I consider it very poor. We were away for the week and I received a notice that there had been an incident at the home. Then a few minutes later, I received a call from ADT. I told them I was 300 miles away and I couldn't do much about what was going on at the house. They asked me if they could go ahead and alert the police, which I told them would be great. They hung up and called back five minutes later saying that the police wouldn't go out because my alarm had not been registered.

    Thank goodness there was nothing here, but if there had been, we would have been burglarized because somebody did not alert the police, and we had an alarm system. We've had the service for quite a while and we never had a break-in or any reason to call the police, but I didn't feel it was my responsibility to call the police and tell them to register the alarm. If ADT told me it was my responsibility, I would have done that four years ago.

    Other than that, up until now, every time I've called them, they'd send somebody out or told me how to solve whatever problem I might have had. But this incident has left me to the point where it's on my list this week to call them and cancel service, because I'm not happy with the fact that they left me hanging out without the ability to get ahold of the police.

    We saw ADT on the television. They were running a special when we signed up and we were supposed to get a $100 credit card Visa when we joined. But we never ever received it. Upon reaching out, their customer service rep apologized and was giving a sad story. Also, when we have any problem and we call them, some of the customer service reps don't understand what they're talking about and what we're talking about. For example, a yellow button came on and they tried to get it off, then they said that we had to buy a new battery which we had to order off of Amazon. That was a big mess.

    Right now, we're in a locked price for life and I truly believe that we need to get an upgrade because we've been with them since 2018. They need to give us a special on an upgrade. Other than that, when I'm cooking and the alarm goes off, the fire trucks and the police officers are here in two seconds. They walk through to make sure there's no fire and I tell them I was burning something in the oven. So ADT has been pretty good with that. I would tell others that they should get ADT, too.

    I would not recommend ADT based on my experience trying to cancel and relocate service. My biggest concern is that ADT relied on internal “requirements” that were not clearly written into the contract. I was told a relocation/self-install package would resolve the remaining obligation on my old home, that I did not need to activate the new equipment, and that I had a return window. After signing and receiving the equipment, multiple ADT representatives told me the opposite: that I had to activate the new equipment for the relocation to count. No one could provide that requirement in writing or point to where it appeared in the signed contract.

    ADT also charged me for the new account 10 days after signing, even though the service was not activated or rendered. My contract stated billing would begin either upon activation or on the 31st day after the contract date, regardless of activation. I returned the relocation equipment within the return window without activation. The process felt high-pressure, disorganized, and unsupported by clear written terms. Their representatives and online account system also could not consistently locate or explain the relocation account billing.

    When I moved into this house 24 years ago, I had BellSouth Protection and somehow, it got moved into ADT. Nobody ever communicated until my alarm went off one night. Somebody was trying to give me the phone number because I had called the BellSouth number and I don't think I had anything to write it down with. So, I don't have any idea what their phone number is. I'd have to look up ADT’s number and call them. I don't have anything other than the sign that I asked for for my yard. I don't have anything but old BellSouth security stickers. Recently, it seems like the rates were going up to near $9, and if that happens, I won't be continuing with them.

    Up until this week, when my last dog passed away, I would set my alarm and bypass my back doors, so that if I had to let them in the yard, it didn't set anything off. Now I'm setting it regularly and not bypassing anything once I'm in for the night. Before that, when I was bypassing, I would make the mistake of opening the basement door and I set it off probably once every two months. I do something stupid and forget that it was on and open the door, and that was a quick call from them. It's usually the recording, but I did get a human occasionally.

    I was looking into a home security system and ADT had a lot of good reviews. I've been with them for almost two years and so far, the system works pretty well for the most part, other than a few malfunctions. Their reps have been pretty helpful, with only one exception. But we were able to get the issues taken care of.

    I've had ADT for about 20 years, and they gave me a free alarm if I signed a three-year contract. It’s been a good experience with ADT. The alarm always works. When I need help, the help lines are very helpful. They also just lowered my bill a few dollars. I also feel safe with the electronic umbrella over my house. However, others should not get the motion chimes ‘cause they don't work that well. They only record for 30 seconds. I'm satisfied with ADT, but not with the functionality of their motion sensor cameras.

    Canceled my ADT services in January then found out I had been double billed for at least 4 years perhaps longer. I had ADT install a new system in 2022. They claimed they could not fix the old system. I paid 1919.50. The new system was temperamental and was giving false alarms. I switched to a local alarm company that have been much more responsive. You can talk to a person. They will come to make repairs instead of spending long intervals on the phone trying to trouble shoot the system.

    Day 1: April 1, 2026. I discovered the system 103 Error on the panel and I attempted to resolve it based on previous ADT problem/solution, but that failed to permanently resolve the problem. Day 3: April 3, 2026. I called ADT, who informed me that they were already aware of the problem (problem with ADT’s Tower and AT&T), the problem is not with my home panel, and ADT became aware of the problem on Day 2. I inquired as to how I will know when the issue is resolved, do I need to call ADT or will ADT call me, and was informed that the error on my panel will disappear when its resolved. Note, ADT is aware of the lack of security on. Day 2. Result after call: unresolved problem.

    Day 6: April 6, 2026. ADT calls me, selling an extension to my contract at the current rate. She informs me that the offer is good for 30 days. I informed her that the system is not working, and she responded as if she were unaware of that status. Note, my contract does not expire for 4+ months. Scam Alert: The government executes this same scam. They take something away, then offer you your status quo if you do something for them. In this case, if I extend the contract, then they restore the security system to it’s operating state. Day 26: April 26, 2026. Problem persists.

    MY Background. As a previous Technical Specialist for the security system for a university, a communication problem between the tower and the panel is not a new security system problem to me, therefore, based on the length of this unresolved issue, its apparent that ADT deliberately created the issue and fails to resolve it. ADT is liable for any and all issues related to the lack of security of my residence (missing items, tampering, etc.).

    I'm happy with ADT. Everybody that we knew told us how good they were. Also, we liked the price. The guy that installed was super nice, and did a fantastic job.

    I had one episode when the monitor for carbon monoxide went out. I called to try to get it replaced. I was shocked that the guy was so rude and ugly. Also, I could never get anybody to give me any information on it. So, I went and bought a monitor of my own and put it in. That has been two or three years ago, but I was upset over that. Also, I had to pay upfront how much it would cost me right then without anybody coming out to check it. Other than that, I don't have any problem.

    I need to upgrade my notifications on who to call. But I'm used to the programming. Also, I feel secure with it. If an emergency came up, it would go through and handle it quickly.

    ADT has been around for a good while and when we moved here, they had door-knockers come around. The young man who came to do the hub stayed a long time and told me that he was going to get everything straight for me. So, they've been really good. At first, the cameras that we had kept going offline, and I'd have to climb up on the ladder and reset them. But now, if they’d go off or something changes, I noticed they'll reconnect. In the app, they'll get back how it's supposed to be.

    Other than that, it would be good if they did something like a packet for seniors. They have it for the military. As for the system, everything works well so far. The weird thing is, I have the Google Home app also and I have an extender. For some reason, the panel won't pick up the regular internet, but it will pick up the extender. I told the young man that came the other day for the internet about this and he said to just leave it like it is.

    One day, everything was beeping, turning red, and it was because the battery had gone down in the carbon monoxide thing. So, it was saying that I had a carbon monoxide leak. ADT called my daughter and she didn't know what was going on. Then they called me and they told me that to be on the safe side, they were sending the firemen. So, they came and did the testing. Then their rep told me that he'd change the battery for me while he was here and I said okay because I had no clue what was happening. So, they acted really fast on that. Overall, I’d tell my friends to use ADT. The service is good and when I called in, saying about how the bill was a little steep, they figured out how to lower it some.

    ADT is a nice security. We used to have Brinks a long time ago. We went to Xfinity. Then, we went to ADT. We did have some problems with the monitor when we had a storm. We called, and they fixed it, which was good. When we first got the monitor, they told me I pay $99, and then they were supposed to add it to my payment every month and take it out from there, but they didn't. They charged it on the card that I used to pay. They just kept going and going. I tried calling a few times. I couldn't get through to anybody. They would send me to people that I don't even know what they were talking about. The language was so bad that I asked one lady. I thought she said she was from Honduras and I couldn't even understand. So, then she passed me through another one who said, "No. I really don't know anything about it." So, I just let it go for a while there, until the thing went out, and then my daughter took care of it.

    The reason we got the ADT security way back was because there are two houses here that used to be on the government for the low-income people, and one of them was a bunch of druggies, and they broke into our house during the day when we were at work. I didn't feel safe. I had smaller kids back then. So, we got the security system. My husband is getting up there in age, and the other day, he opened the window, and he forgot to take the security off. Somebody was calling, and it was the security. My husband and I are very happy with it. The security is pretty good, and if they ever needed something or it goes off, they call me right away. I have a sign sitting out in front of the house. They sent me two and for some reason, they're really thin, and they break very easily. So, maybe they should make those aluminum ones that don't break.

    I had told the salesperson about my house two story and I live on a busy street. I had gotten a camera and doorbell. I told them that the doorbell was dead. The wires was no good. When the person came out he didn't tell me that the doorbell would not work for sound inside my house at all. Even when I had called later to add on a camera after having the system I started to notice the doorbell ran down fast and we couldn't hear anything from the doorbell or the camera without carrying your cellphone around. It was also difficult for people in my home to sign on after a while. Lesser than a month I called and wanted know why I couldn't hear doorbell and why I couldn't get my Alexa to work with the system. When I had been asking if Alexa was integrated with ADT I was told yes but after been on the call and transferred over to another person I found out no.

    Then found out I needed a speaker just to hear the doorbell and another charger of 100$ just for that. I wanted to cancel not being told the truth two times and not having the system lesser than a month. So they sent another person out after I made a call to try and cancel the guy on the phone. I told him my doorbell was dead. It didn't work. The whole thing was dead. It never worked. But he acted like he didn't understand and wanted to send someone out after I told him the wires didn't work and knows that the company doesn't do wiring and on a record line told me if it don't work he will get me a Ring doorbell. The tech came out, looked at it and said they don't do wiring and set up my phone settings and told him, "Exactly. I did know why the guy sent him out. The wiring don't work and you guys don't do wiring and the doorbell goes out quickly." That's when he set up my phone.

    After being disappoint I still wanted out the contract. Called in to cancel. The lady gave me the speaker for free and another technician came out and seen the doorbell was running down quick and called in to have it replaced but now I have to wait until Tuesday for a doorbell and a speaker so we can hear the doorbell only and not the camera. We still have to carry phones around the house when I was told the system would be integrated with my Alexa. The system is not working for me. I live on a very busy street and I told them all of this and I had no wiring outside my house and that my doorbell wires didn't work and asked was the system work with my Alexa

    I have been a loyal ADT customer since 2013, but a recent equipment upgrade has completely destroyed my trust in this company. Shortly after the upgrade, the main controller board failed. Despite my home being protected by an APC surge protector and a Ting power monitoring system (which confirmed no surges occurred), the initial technician insisted a power surge "fried" the board. It was later proven to be a simple connection issue when wiggling a wire brought the system back online.

    When I requested a second opinion, ADT quoted a $59 service fee. However, once the second technician arrived and began work, he pivot-billed me at a rate of $240 per 30 minutes. I was ultimately presented with a bill for nearly $500 to troubleshoot a part that only costs $170. Most disturbingly, the technician stated he could not leave my property until I signed off on the work. I felt intimidated and price-gouged. While a manager eventually reduced the bill to $300 "under protest" without ever speaking to me directly, the experience was predatory. After over a decade of service, I am appalled by ADT’s lack of transparency and their high-pressure billing tactics.

    DO NOT choose ADT. This is a money grabbing company who is heartless. I have been a customer since 2014. 12 years! For the past 5 years, after moving to another state and remaining loyal to them with continuing their service, half of our panels did not work. They had tried to resolve it via phone and sending out technicians but still doesn't work. To remain loyal, I still continued with them.

    I remained loyal to them up until now and I will do everything I can to tell my story. My husband lost his job and we have to move to a place that does not have security system. We are essentially homeless. Yet, ADT will not do anything aside from "3 months lower" payment. 3 months is a joke. Essentially it only saves me $72 total. DO NOT sign a contract because despite the panels not working for us and my husband losing his job and we will homeless, they do not care. DO NOT go with ADT! Go somewhere else.

    I am contacting you regarding a service issue with my alarm system. Recently, my alarm began beeping due to a low battery. I replaced the battery as instructed; however, I discovered that the original installation was not done correctly. The screw used to secure the battery is too small and does not properly hold it in place.

    Because of this improper installation, I am now being told I must pay approximately $125 for a technician to come out and address the issue. I do not believe it is fair to charge me for a service call when the problem appears to be the result of incorrect installation by your technician.

    The ADT system is more than what I need, but I'm satisfied with it. It has a front camera and a backyard camera. Sometimes I'm going to the Senior Center to learn the computer, and it's kind of too much IT for me, but the IT part of the ADT system is quite understandable for a simpleton. When I look on my phone to see what's going on, I'm content with it. A couple of places have been broken into, and the police has came to look at it, but it was out of the view of the situation. ADT is a good thing to have. I have accidentally set the alarm off, but they were understanding and took care of the problem. A couple of times, the alarm went off by itself with the back door being open, and they understood the situation and resolved it to my satisfaction.

    I’ve had a very frustrating experience with ADT and SafeStreets. It has been about a month since I scheduled the installation of three security cameras, and the issue is still not resolved. The first technician arrived without the cameras and had to order them. The second technician came but could not install the cameras, claiming the issue was with my internet provider. I was then told I needed to switch to another provider, which is completely unreasonable and added extra costs beyond my budget. After multiple calls and rescheduling, a third technician came and once again, the cameras were not installed. This level of disorganization and lack of accountability is unacceptable. I’ve had to continuously follow up just to get basic service completed. To make matters worse, I am now locked into a 3-year contract and cannot cancel without paying over $1,000 in fees, despite the service not being properly delivered. Overall:

    Poor communication
    Unreliable service
    Lack of professionalism

    No resolution after multiple visits

    I strongly do not recommend ADT / SafeStreets. Save your time, money, and frustration look elsewhere for security services.

    I almost became a customer of ADT, and I’m very glad I didn’t. Unfortunately, even without ever using their service, this has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had with any company. After signing up, I quickly realized I didn’t want to switch systems and decided not to move forward before installing any equipment. As soon as I received the equipment, I called right away to return it. I was told I’d receive a refund within 14 days. That never happened.

    Due to a surgery, I wasn’t able to follow up immediately. The next month, I was charged for both the equipment and a service fee anyway. When I called, I was told my account hadn’t been closed properly and that they would fix it and refund me. I did eventually get the service fee back, but getting the equipment charges refunded was a hassle and took way more effort than it should have.

    I clearly asked for my account to be closed and my information removed so I wouldn’t be charged again. I was told it was taken care of. Then in April, I was charged AGAIN for equipment they had already received back in early March and even confirmed they had. I had to call once again to request yet another refund, only to be told my card was still on file. At that point, I had to request (again) for my information to be removed. This experience has been beyond frustrating. I was charged multiple times for a service I never used and equipment I returned. At this point, it feels like they’re taking money that doesn’t belong to them. I would strongly recommend avoiding ADT.

    What a nightmare I just had with ADT customer service. I've been using them for 17 years and their monitoring service has been fine but I am now moving and when I called ADT to cancel my service, no joke.... I was transferred to 4 different people and after going through the security check each time, I was transferred to another department, who transferred me to another department until I was transferred a 4th time (and more than 20 minutes on hold) only to have the representative pretend she could not hear me and then, hung up on me. Called back and got some of the same people who continue to transfer me. I was told that since I had a contract that was still one year to go, I would be charged over $300.00 to cancel the contract.

    LET ME EXPLAIN... about 2 years ago, the battery in my ADT system went bad. ADT insisted that I must get an upgraded system. After they installed it, I read the fine print and realized that I had a 3 year contract that I could not get out of. Needless to say, I was pretty upset. Bait and Switch is what they did to me. I knew I would be moving in the next year or two. SO... going back to my recently trying to cancel my service, due to the move...

    I finally reached a guy by the name of "Christopher" who seemed nice but not really sure I was believing him. He seemed shocked that after 17 years of service, I would be charge a $300.00 cancellation and assured me that he would waive that fee AND cancel my service immediately. I asked him for a confirmation to be emailed to me, but he said ADT does not do that... but he was willing to give me his phone number and extension. WHAT???? What good would that do me? I just simply wanted a confirmation of my cancelled service.

    I'm still not positive this will be done. Today is April 15th and my last bill is paid through April 30th. Somehow, I have the feeling that my service will not be turned off, I will go into collections for not paying the $300.00 cancellation fee and I will receive a new bill for the upcoming quarter (May through July). WHAT A HOT MESS!!! I will NEVER use their service ever again, just because of this experience.

    ADT’s contract practices are deeply frustrating and feel fundamentally unfair. While the company makes accommodations for military personnel facing relocation, it does not extend the same consideration to civilians who are also navigating major life changes—such as selling a home without an immediate new residence where service can be transferred. Instead, customers are locked into rigid agreements that result in excessive termination fees, sometimes exceeding $1,000, even when continued service is no longer practical or possible.

    Relocation is a legitimate and often unavoidable circumstance. With proper documentation, it should be sufficient grounds for a reasonable contract adjustment or termination without punitive financial consequences. The current approach creates the impression that customers are being trapped in agreements designed more to extract fees than to provide ongoing value. If policies like this remain unchanged, it raises serious concerns about fairness and customer respect. Companies should be working to retain trust and goodwill—not enforcing terms that leave customers feeling exploited. Consumers deserve flexibility, transparency, and equitable treatment, regardless of whether they are military or civilian.

    2. It’s almost impossible to cancel their service without a hundred calls of harassment!

    3. The one time my alarm went off I had to call and ask them why they didn’t call me. Their reply was if the code was put in they didn’t bother! I then asked how they knew that I didn’t have a gun on me and was made to put in the code? I didn’t even have the change to give them a bad password!

    4. After deciding they are a company of no integrity we found another company and the installer sent an email from my phone to cancel the service. A month or so later the threatening call started. They said in order to cancel we had to call. So we used that call to cancel. Then the $350.00 bills started coming in! They threatened ruining our credit etc.. We don’t owe a penny to anyone so we didn’t care about our credit. We pay cash for everything!

    ADT is responsible and has the most up-to-date technology. I can do some things online, like get a yard sign if one disappeared on me. They are efficient about everything. Their customer service is excellent as well. I've had them for about 25 years and we had to change out the system here a little bit. They came in and had to cook up the WiFi receiver. Then they added a couple of motion detectors. I needed some in the garage and in the house, and the technician had changed those out. The WiFi system is working very well. I've also got it on my phone for when we leave the house. I've got the stickers in the windows all around on the lower level and that works out pretty well too. ADT does the job and they understand how home security now is very important and that it has to be quickly responsive if there's any alert or alarm going off. They are very professional and responsive, which are the two things that are most important in a security system business.

I'm in the design and construction business and I could go to a local company that would be cheaper and I could call the man on his cellphone day or night, 24 hours a day, and get immediate help, which is desirable. It's more desirable than what you get.

    I used to be ADT Gold because I contracted to put in some ADT systems at various customers' houses number of years ago. So they were my favorite back in the day. Now, I know a couple of family-run alarm businesses in Houston that if I were starting from scratch, I'd probably use for the reasons I just stated, just because they're not a huge company. But as a huge company, sometimes I tell ADT, "Stop raising my prices. Don't charge me so much. You're not competitive anymore," and they lowered my cost by a dollar.

    I’ve been with ADT for more than four years, and my recent experience has been incredibly disappointing. At the beginning of this year, my monthly bill suddenly jumped to about five times what I had been paying under a long-term promotional rate. After paying that bill, I called to complain, but nothing meaningful was resolved, so I canceled. Later, I called back one more time because, despite everything, I had actually been happy with the service overall and wanted to see whether there was any reasonable loyalty pricing that would make it worth staying. I was told they could get me back to my original rate, but that I first needed to reactivate service and sign a contract, and then the customer loyalty team would step in and honor the negotiated price.

    Based on that representation, I went through the entire process again: contract, reactivation, and follow-up calls. Then everything changed. I was told the promised price would not be honored, that it supposedly could not take effect, and that the contract could not be modified for a full year after activation. The notes from the prior agent were reviewed, but I was told they “didn’t count.” The only thing they said they could do was cancel the contract I had just been persuaded to enter.

    That is the most troubling part of this experience: I was talked into reactivating based on a promise that the post-activation pricing would be adjusted, and then the account management side refused to honor what the sales side had represented. I was even told it is “theoretically impossible” to modify an activated contract before it expires in 2027. This was not just poor customer service. It reflected inconsistent communication, contradictory promises, internal misalignment between teams, failure to honor documented notes, and pricing practices that felt misleading.

    To be clear, I was not expecting ADT to keep me forever at the same unusually low price I had years ago. I understood that rate was exceptional, and I was willing to accept some increase. What made this experience so frustrating is that, in the end, it stopped being about the price level at all. It became about being lured into a contract based on one promise, only to be told afterward that the promise never really counted. I wanted to stay with ADT, but this experience left me feeling misled and completely let down. If ADT wants to keep long-time customers, it needs to make sure its sales, loyalty, and account teams are aligned and that commitments made to customers are actually honored.

    If I have some issues, I usually get somebody on the phone. They're always very considerate and concerned about what you're trying to correct or fix. Then if it can't be done, ADT has new technology now where they can do remote sessions. If that doesn't work, then they send out somebody to our home. Right now, everything is fine. The only thing that I've noticed recently is that I sometimes get a false notification that something is wrong. It has to do with the batteries beginning to go out in certain devices.

    For instance, about a week ago, in the middle of the night a beeping that said a window in my office was being tampered with. I don't really think it was. It was either something with the device itself or the battery in the device. In fact, I was going to call ADT again about it because it happened before, and then everything was okay. They looked at it and said it was fine, and then I got that notification. But that's only been fairly recently because we've had our systems in place for a while. Other than that, it's worked okay.

I googled ADT and complained and they didn’t have a tech that could come to my home for a little over a week, the day the tech got here he told me by phone call that he drove the wrong truck that didn’t have the sticker decal to enter into our gate. It’s now been over 3 weeks, and still no service. I called ADT again and spoke to Lady and I was giving her my concern and she basically wanted to tell me what I signed on a contract. I told her I wanted someone at my home and she said she doesn’t have anybody that is available at this time and it got to the point. I was so irritated with them. I just hung up. I would never recommend ADT for service.

They trapped me into a five-year contract and said if I canceled, I had to keep paying for their monitoring fee. I called them a month after it was installed and wanted to cancel, and they told me I had to write a letter to their headquarters. I wrote the letter but never received any response.

    ADT is a good system. If you live alone, you should get it. The installation was quick. It took less than two hours. The system has been enough, except when the batteries get low, the system goes off like somebody broke in. ADT called me at 3:30 in the morning. It was just the battery, but the wall panel should have read, “Low battery.” The cops came, they looked around, and didn't see any breach. ADT did a virtual call. I waited for them to come here, but they said, “No, you got it wrong. We didn't tell you that.” I said, “Yes, you did. I didn't know it was just gonna be a phone call. You had me wasting half my day.” But the guy that did the call was nice and walked me through changing my sensors.

    I went through two security systems until they were both bought out by ADT in the late 90s. The techs came and rewired the whole world and put fresh detectors in. I've had the same quarterly charges since the time I opted into ADT. I also get free batteries for replacement in some of the remote detectors that aren’t hardwired. I have called them for help probably 10 times in the last 20 years and one time, they sent a technician. One of the smoke detectors was bad and he noticed that my motion detector in the living room wasn't working, which we hadn’t noticed, and he immediately went out to his truck, got a new motion sensor, and installed it. All of this at no cost. The other times, they explained the problems and I fixed them over the phone.

    When we accidentally set off the alarm, we enter our code twice, and that tells ADT that it was us and not something else so they don't bother us. A couple of times, the alarm has gone off, and they have called us within five to 10 minutes to ask if everything was okay. Then, we have to give the password to say that we're okay. The reps have been very professional and are always on time. If I need batteries, they send them that day. They know what the system is and don't have to send me to somebody else to answer questions. Every time I've called, the person who answered the phone knew what I needed to do. Overall, I've had great experiences with ADT. I get marketing emails from them periodically, saying that they'll give me a refund if anybody else gets their system through my referral. But most of my neighbors already have ADT, so that's not very easy to do.

They provide what they say they're going to provide. I've had trouble with two different sensors. One was a window sensor, and the other was a sensor in my living room. They came out and fixed it right away. I've had them for almost 10 years now in two different houses, and they've had to send me new plaques for the yard, and they're easy to use. I use the key fob in my bedroom. That's my primary. However, one thing that I don't like is changing the battery on the wall plaque, because that is a pain. It's terrible.

So Casey updated the system and we were assured that going forward the system issues would be resolved. Nothing ever changed. We just went on wasting time. The cameras randomly not video recording. We waited until the end of the year to try find a solution, but nothing changes. We never received a Termination letter.

    For the most part, my experience with ADT has been good and positive. I’ve had ADT for eight years now, and when I have issues, customer service can usually get them handled and taken care of quickly. People should sign up if they’re looking for somebody. When I was having issues before, I had a very outdated system, and they came by a few years ago and installed an updated keypad. It’s not the new high-tech ones they have now, but it wasn’t from the 1980s like I had before. Right now, I have some outdated sensors in my home that are affecting my Pulse app, telling me things are open when they’re not. I need to call and have that updated.

    All of the people who have come out have been good, but not all of them work directly for ADT. Some are contractors, so it has taken a little longer to get things handled. One contractor installed sensors and may have changed the sensitivity, because the alarms were going off in the middle of the night and scaring my child and me. After that, someone from ADT came out and fixed it and corrected it.

    When our electricity would go out, I'd have to reboot stuff, and the representative would stay online with me and allow me to follow through all the steps, and everybody's been helpful. When we had it installed, the guy was great. He went over everything. There were some things that he could not do because we had the thermostat, but they couldn't install that after they found out because the type of system we had and the thermostat weren’t compatible.

    ADT acquired Protection One, the company I was with and it’s been nine years that I’ve been with them. I never knew that the smoke detectors expire and stop working after seven years, and their warranty is five years. I couldn't deactivate the smoke detectors without beeping, so I had to call ADT or pay to replace the smoke detectors. Their techs had to remove the smoke detectors from the system monitoring and disable them. In order to upgrade the whole system, ADT wanted $1,200. But other than the issue with the smoke detectors, it's been satisfactory. There was a couple of false alarms and the reps called right away, especially when a smoke alarm went off.

    The customer service was excellent once I got through to someone who spoke English, especially the tech people who tried hard to fix the issue over the phone. They then scheduled a technician who had me check the system and walk through the process instead of sending someone to the house, which saved me. Overall, my experience with ADT has been good. The price is a little high for what they provide, and it could be better. Also, before somebody switches, they should know that the equipment is only good for five years and you have to update the system within so many years.

When he came back he told me he couldn’t locate a couple of the smoke detectors and that the prior tenants must had taken them. We paid a lot extra to replace them. Several months later my wife told me there were two detectors in one closet upstairs and two more in a closet downstairs. When he took them down he couldn’t bring them up 'cause I was there. He mounted them on the wall in the closets and then sold me more to up his commission. The ones he put up were less than ten feet in both spots apart from the ones in the closets.

    We have been dealing with ADT three years and during that time they never called to see why the alarms went off and they went off several times in three years. As soon as we told them we were going to cancel they call now every day talking about something owed, equipment will not work 'cause they fix it like that once you prepare to leave. The pad cameras or nothing work since we told them over four months. I am in process with Lawyers with pictures, recordings and all.

    My daughter had ADT and she was happy with it, which was why we got it. The rep came over to our house and we talked about it, and he installed the system. He was very efficient. It’s been a few years and we've been pleased with ADT. Anytime we’ve called them because our system has done something funky, their reps have helped us through everything and gotten it back to working properly. They answer our questions if we have any. The police have come over because our alarm has gone off, but not because there was something wrong with it. It was because we took too long to turn it off. People should get ADT and be happy with it.

    ADT has been reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. The installation was easy. They did exactly what we asked and we got exactly what we wanted. The price was good. Also, ADT has always been responsive when we've called to have help with different issues, either resetting the alarm or helping us walk through some of the mechanics, like how to replace batteries on some of the devices. Two weeks ago, we got back from vacation and the batteries on our front door lock with the key code on it where you have to punch in the numbers were low. We didn't know how to replace the batteries, so we called in, and ADT walked us through how to replace them. On some of the situations we've come across, we didn't have a handbook to help us walk through troubleshooting. We've always had to pick up the phone and call somebody.

    Updated on 04/26/2026: Contracting ADT for security is one of the worst homeowner mistakes I made. This is my second time writing a review because after the first I was contacted by ADT, and they made it sound like they really wanted to solve the problems with my security system (cameras going offline). However, after telling me they couldn't schedule a technician to come to my home on the weekend when I would be available, they actually scheduled a technician visit for between 12noon and 4:00 pm, but the technician didn't show up. When I was about to leave home at approximately 4:44 pm, I received an email stating that the technician was on his way. My experience with ADT has made me wish that I had never contracted with them. I won't make the same mistake twice.

    Original: ADT is a big disappointment to me, and I wouldn’t make the same choice again. Repeated problems with the system going offline, and no solutions from ADT that doesn’t cost me more money. In other words, the system going offline places my family’s security at risk. However, when I complain about a camera not operating for days, there are no solutions offered to solve the problem, and I was told that my WiFi was the problem; even after I purchased a WiFi booster. When I suggested that ADT install a new camera, I was told that I had to purchase the camera. So, I end up paying for a service that I don’t have. Getting the ADT security system, has been one of the worst homeowner decisions I made. I won’t ever do it again.

    My siblings got ADT and have nothing but good things to say. I decided to go with ADT because of that and I’ve been with them for nine years. My system works good. Sometimes I set off my system when I cook, and the response time is great. I like the peace of mind that I'm armed and knowing that if I move, my equipment goes with me, since it was quite pricey. As far as functionality and promptness, I feel secure in my home. The only thing is that my bill went from 30 a month to 42. I called a couple of months ago, and the rep said nothing had changed with the cost, so I don’t understand why my bill is going up when nothing has changed and I own the equipment. I would like the bill to go back to what it was.

    I'm happy with ADT. They've been excellent and have always answered my questions. If I need trouble support, they'll send somebody. They've mostly gone more to on call now and they walk through things and use your phones to remotely check in when you're trying to repair something. They've evolved with the technology and I'm okay with it as long as I know that I have the recourse to be able to have a technician come over if there's a real big problem.

    A lot of people like to go with the do-it-yourself things at home now with Ring but it's nice to have the monitoring capability ADT provides. My system has been in my house now for over 20 years and it's very stable. I haven't upgraded my system and I haven't asked for any enhanced service capabilities. The thing I've had with ADT is the rates will keep going up and I'll call them and ask why they are raising my rates, that they're basically monitoring nothing at this point. If it keeps going up, then I would have to reconsider. Also, their app doesn't really work really well. You have to log into things.

    If there was a zero I would check that. They are the worst team I have ever dealt with. We had ADT installed January 19th. The installer came to our house and the first thing he said was “I don’t work on commission - we never asked him that question. Then he brought in a load of equipment that we would need. When I spoke to the woman when I decided to go with ADT and we talked about our needs we came up with a doable price, but our installer said she didn’t know what she was talking about. By February 20th we had problems with the batteries that were supply to have a shelf life of 10 yrs per our installer.

    The installer that sold us all the equipment (some of which we didn’t need and he also placed the smoke detectors by our other smoke detectors from another company) gave me his phone number to call if we had any problems at all. So I called him in February to tell him about the 3 dead batteries he first said that will ruin my numbers or something like that. Anyway he told me to call ADT and not him for any problems. We’ve had problems in March25th, March 30th and now today March 31st. I’ve talked to them each time and got different answers each time as if no one knew what they were talking about. They are a HORRIBLE COMPANY. I’m so sorry we are stuck with them. I consider it the worst decision I’ve ever made.

    If you are thinking about going with them - think again. When the batteries no longer worked I was told by at least 5 different employees the battery life was 10yrs, 5 yrs, 6 months, 60 days, and 30 days. You can’t get a reliable answer from anyone. I’ve spoken to account management a few times - they are no help - again I got different answers. If I could I would cancel this agreement but it costs too much. So we are STUCK with them.

    From the day my system was "installed," it wasn't working properly. When I told the install technician, he told me to call support. A year later, I am still experiencing issues with the system, and EVERY call is at least an hour with multiple transfers and sometimes disconnects. Everyone with whom I speak is very polite, but absolutely useless in getting the system issues resolved. I tried to cancel the contract since it took more than two weeks for it to be fully installed and was told that I'd have to pay out the balance of the contract, which equated to a few thousand dollars. The last technician who came asked me if I requested the system I have because it's inadequate for my home and the area in which my home is (large, urban). He said that it's best for small, suburban, quieter areas. Yet another reason for me to be further disgusted with them. So from day 1, ADT has been a cataclysmic disappointment. Don't believe me, though--ask your neighbor.

    ADT is worth it and I’d recommend them. I've had good experiences with them. Whenever there were issues with a specific equipment, they made sure they took care of that. For example, when the original install was done, the detached garage went offline a few times, and that problem ended up being rectified by one of the techs after me giving them a call. They had to put a repeater in. I was thinking it was going to be an additional charge but that wasn't the case. They said since they should have installed it initially, there wouldn't be any additional charges.

    However, after the installation, I reached out to an individual several times, but never got a reply back. That was one of the salespersons who ended up saying that they would keep in touch, but that fell through. I later learned that that individual made it to supervisor. Maybe that was why I wasn't receiving any calls. I wasn't too happy when I was calling to get back in touch with them. Also, after the install a few years back, I had found out that there were newer model of the OC845 cameras that were available. I would assume that they would be higher resolution. I was wondering why the newer model wasn't installed. But they work fine and I am happy with the repeater that I received. There was also an issue with one of the garage door openers, where an individual tech came out to troubleshoot and found a loose wire that was there.

    When you go in with the app and you decide that you want to see 50 clips instead of the 20, you tell the app that you want to see 50 clips instead of the 20. It used to be that when you selected it and you backed out and went back in, those selections would be locked in. Now, that's no longer the case. Every time I log into the app, if I want to see 50 clips, I have to go in, tell it 50. If I want to see anything else that has triggered any of the cameras, I'll do that but it automatically defaults back. It no longer holds those settings for me. For the first two years, it did that then ADT changed their policy. Now, every time you go in to the app to make those selections, they revert back to the default settings.

    My mother has been a long-time ADT customer, since the 80s. When I moved into my home, I thought of getting ADT as well because if they've done right by my mom, I knew they'd do right by me as well. But when I first got my system installed, it was a little difficulty with the sensors. But the installer, Luis, was very patient and made sure everything was working properly. I had a great experience in getting my system set up. Luis also showed me the different buttons on there and what they meant. He even said probably in a couple of years, I would have to change the battery, but I just have tp call the office for that. But now, you can change it yourself.

    I like ADT. They work with me on my bill. Customer service is very good if I get behind, helping me to get caught up. ADT has met my husband and my expectations well. It's just the two of us, and we are renters, so I wanted to do what I could to prevent anybody from breaking into our home. Even if I were a homeowner, I would have done it. I wanted to make sure that we felt safe when we left home as well as when we're in the house. I was wanting security, and that's what I've gotten in the past five years from ADT. I have what I need and I have the same equipment I had before. I just had to get a new carbon monoxide recently because that one went out.

    When my door was having a problem closing, ADT was on top of it. The wind would blow it open, so it would set the alarm off. It has been at least two times that ADT has called me while I'm at work. They were on it. They called me. They also called my step-daughter and sent her a text ‘cause she's my emergency contact. The only thing is sometimes my camera goes out, but I just haven't taken time to call ADT to come and look at it. I have the ADT app and I was having some problems logging in again using the dash to monitor my backyard, which is where I have the camera. But once you're into Pulse, it's fine.

    They also came out once after installation because one of the cameras, the power wire broke, so they had to fix that.

Then, they suggested a digital screen instead of a push-button one. If somebody comes to the door or rings the doorbell, everything comes to my phone. One time, I had an emergency, but it turned out it was just my cat. He was locked in the bedroom and ended up messing with the mini blinds, which set the alarm off. ADT called us and said it was a break-in, and the police came out, but we didn’t get charged. Everything got resolved, so that was good.

    Giving a 2-star rating only because I feel responsible for agreeing to this mess. My rational mind would have said NO! The day the tech/sales person came out was hectic, as we had just taken possession of our new home, and other workers and family had all just arrived to see the house. The previous owners had ADT, so we thought we would just be starting a service, NOT having to buy all the equipment (for 5 years).

    Previously we used Ring, and to me that was MUCH easier to use, more intuitive, and familiar. After about 10-12 DAYS, I’m wanting to pitch this and go back to Ring. Can’t do without paying out the contract and equipment, to the tune of over $6K. Freaking crazy — I thought I would have 30 days to get used to this new program and equipment, but instead there was only a 3 day window (which I did not know but should have asked!). I really hate this product and system. I’ll begrudgingly keep it instead of paying for this insane cancellation, but I’m hoping others will read this and re-think their decision.

    I’ve had ADT for years and years and I can’t remember when I didn’t have them. I felt like it would be a good system for us and would work well. I accidentally set it off yesterday, and I could not hear the alarm in the backyard where I went. I need to call ADT about that, but it usually works great. The customer service is very responsive. I like it most that if a motion detector is not working, it notifies me where the problem is, such as if it needs a battery. Changing the batteries in the motion detectors is okay but some can be very difficult, like those in the doors in the basement. Sometimes, I have to ask my maintenance man to do it.

    My experience with ADT has been going good in the five years that I've been with them. The reps got things handled, whether it be major or minor, and everything went correctly, and I was satisfied. The installers answered all my questions when they hooked the system up, and it’s been going well. The package that I have meets the expectations because my price is still the same. I like that. It never varies. When I go online, the reps try to convince me to upgrade and if I say no, it’s not a problem. If I say yes, they’ll get right to it. But right now, money is tight and I'm not trying to upgrade anything. My alarm went off when I wasn’t at the house, and I asked the reps what they were seeing on the camera. They told me what was going on inside my house. So, it made me feel a little bit safe. ADT protects me. They are always on call when I need them and handle the situation professionally.

We ended up getting a phone call, but we didn't know that. I saw these messages. ADT called my daughter. She got through and said, “Hey there. Your alarm went off.” There was a little spider on the motion sensor, inside of it or behind it, that activated it. The sheriff came out, looked at the front and the back. There was nothing wrong.

    Warning to anyone considering ADT: their cancellation process is deliberately designed to prevent you from cancelling. I called on Saturday to cancel. The rep could offer me discounts, upgrades, and "anything else we can do" — but not cancellation. I called back Monday. Ten minutes with one representative, another 8 minutes on hold, and then ten minutes of counteroffers and upsells later, I was told my account would cancel in 30 days.

    My billing date is in three days. So they're charging me for a full month that falls almost entirely inside their own cancellation window — after I first tried to cancel six days before billing. Oh, and they bill in advance, not in arrears, so there's no justification for extending the window. I've filed an FTC complaint and a credit card chargeback. ADT's retention tactics are textbook coercive obstruction. The rep who can give you a discount but can't cancel your account isn't having a bad day. That's policy. Sign up knowing you may not be able to leave. And that you'll be getting in bed with a company that does not prioritize customer service if it costs them money.

So, I knew for a fact that that worked, and that made me feel good. The police were here looking at my windows and everything trying to find me, if I had fallen. I'm really happy with it. It's worth every penny I pay for it.

    ADT did their job and I followed their direction when they needed me to do something. A couple of times, the clock would go warry on my fixed clock or FC. I call and they try to give me the codes. If anything, I’d like to have a little manual on how to do that stuff myself. Other than that, the service never fails and I would recommend them.

    ADT came door-to-door in the neighborhood and a few people might have had it, which was how I came to know about it. I'm new here from another state, and I’ve only had it for about a month. The sales rep was wonderful. Some of these younger generation children are respectful and very polite, as if you've known them for a while. It was a pleasure just talking with the gentleman. The installers also did good. They cleaned up after themselves, put everything back, and you could hardly tell they had been there. They didn’t bother you, just did their job and left anything behind.

    I chose ADT for the price. It’s reasonable and the system serves its purpose just as well as the higher dollar ones. If the alarm goes off and the window is open or somebody opens the door, you have time to dial your phone. The package that I have is good, pleasant, and works fine. I don’t have the alarm on right now because we had an issue with the door before, where it got stuck and we couldn’t turn the key. Now we have a new door, but my daughter is in and out, and she has a disability and illness, so I don’t want to keep setting the alarm off.

So, I could show my daughter and granddaughter how to do it. I live by myself. I got the one that I can open the door from the phone. I'm learning every day. I'm finding something new about it every day. The main thing was I can't get up to the door when people will come. I have keys, my kids had keys, and my brother had keys.

    Worst customer service I have ever had. Zero support on equipment, batteries.... Unless you want to pay way too much. To cancel service, it takes more than an hour of your time while they beg you to stay with bigger and bigger discounts. If you could discount your service so low, then why is the cost so high? Run away as fast as you can.

    Extremely dissatisfied with ADT customer service. They’re charging me for service I cancelled and post contract expiration date, which is very unfair. Also got conflicting information from different customer service folks. I had to repeat same info 7 times to be able to cancel service. Overall very frustrating experience. I would not recommend this service.

    These people are a joke! This system has never worked correctly and effectively since installed in my home. Please don’t get them. After several missed appointments, backing out at the last minute to come correct this piece of junk, the agent Brad on the phone gets smart with me about rescheduling once again and not canceling this account. Then tells me that I will be charged $5000 because of early cancellation. I will put them on the national news about. I explained to him more than one time that I have taken off work.

    My husband had the ADT system put in 20 years ago, and I heard about it because it was still here. We had to get the house rewired and a whole new system was put in about two years ago. The person I dealt with was nice. The installation went perfectly. I like everything the way it is. The doors, the alarms, and the new keypad work well. The package 100% meet my expectations. When I had a choking emergency, I pushed the button and it contacted the local fire department. ADT has a great security system and it’s easy to use and does the job.

    ADT is the best. I've been with them since 1992. I have the basic alarm and then the smoke detectors, and the doors and motion sensors. The alarm went off one day, and when I looked outside, the police was out there. Because I didn't answer them right away, they sent the cops right away. ADT is the best security to have for your property, your home, and your family.

    I brought ADT here from my last address and I've been with them for over 15 years. I'm old and I like going to familiar things and they were familiar to me. Right now, all my cameras are not up because I gotta program them myself and I don’t care for that. But that's the way of the world. So eventually, I'll get all my cameras online.

    Things changed a little bit for me when ADT partnered with Google, but I’m okay. Technology has changed things over the years, but I'm satisfied. Sometimes I don't know whether to go with the Google product or with my ADT. It’s confusing because I have ADT cameras and I have Google Fiber, then I have a Google doorbell, which is really ADT's doorbell. So that’s challenging for me. I was told I need to update my cameras and that they’re outdated because my Google Fiber just updated, but some of my cameras are working. So, I possibly do not need to update my cameras. But that's where the confusion comes in right there. That's one of the crazy things about my cameras.

    We used to be gone eight months out of the year, and we would come home at different times. I realized my wife would turn the alarm on for Stay when I wasn’t there, and I felt it was because of a fear factor. It concerned me. When she said she wanted a camera on the front door before I left, I told her that if we were putting one on the front door, I might as well put them all the way around the house. But after I put all the cameras up, she questioned why I was putting so many.

    I had Alder and it got sold to ADT. ADT's reps were very helpful. They explained everything. So, it was a smooth transition. It's better once we got them as far as communication. I liked ADT. The stuff that I had had gotten close to outdated whenever they switched, and we were in the process of selling the house anyway. We had ADT for about a little over a year and we sold the house. When we did that, we moved out into the country, and that was why we didn't pick it back up because my brother-in-law has cameras everywhere. We really didn't need any more security, but ADT was good when we had them. While we had it, they were very helpful with everything even with us doing the cancellation. I had three months left on my contract and they helped me clear that out and made sure everything was finalized.

    We had a couple of calls when we were still using ADT. We had a sunroom, and so all we had were glass break sensors. We didn't have an alarm on anything, but they set it off and it was late at night. We were on our way back home and the police came. We wound up beating the cop there in town. We didn't know if it was fire or somebody broke in and I was worried about my dog. I was more worried about her hurting somebody than somebody hurting her or getting out. ADT was spot-on when it went off. I'd recommend ADT. They were really great with everything. There were a couple of times where I set the system off myself, but they always were right there to make sure it was nothing.

    My son has ADT and he's had it for years. My neighbors have it as well. When we had a problem here a few years ago with somebody ringing doorbell and beating on the door at 2 a.m., I insisted my husband we call ADT and get an alarm system put in. My neighbor across the street gave us the rep's phone number and he came. His name was Mike. He was wonderful. He walked us through. We're senior citizen but was very patient. He explained everything, then he set up a day for the tech to come and install everything. The installation was so easy. This is a little different than my son's, but it didn't take the tech any time at all. Then he sat and explained how to set it and how to change it. He made it easy.

    The system has met all expectations. My husband won't deal with it, so I have to, and it's really easy. Anytime there's been a problem, and it's always something that I pushed wrong because I was in a hurry or something, I call them up. I get someone on the phone, and they walk me right through it, how to reset it or fix it. When we had a bunch of batteries get low, I called them, and they told me what the price would be. Then they sent somebody out, and he installed new batteries. It's usually a woman that I talk to when I call. I've called them at 11 or 12 o'clock at night because I couldn't figure out what I did wrong on the keypad. They’re so patient and they'll go over it. If you have any questions, they'll answer them.

    It has been a wonderful experience with ADT. They're very competent, and they come immediately if you need them. A couple times, my husband has gone in and set the alarm off, and they've called me right away. The one time they couldn't get me right away, the police came. ADT is great and I rave all the time about them. The price is very reasonable as well.

    I heard about ADT through my insurance, and by the time I decided to change companies, the incentive that I had noticed was no longer there. I picked up medicine from a neighbor because they delivered to her house while she was working, and I know she switched from Vivint to ADT. There had to be a reason for that. I made a call and talked to several people at ADT, and that's how I changed. The first guy I talked to told me how much I would pay a month, but that wasn't true, because I had to pay for equipment as well, which they didn't mention. I expected to pay $50 a month, but I pay almost $100 a month instead. The cost is higher than what it's planned on, but I can manage that.

    The installer was very helpful. We were having issues because I had a lamp in my living room that Vivint had a little thing on to turn my lights on at night. The installer said, “I’ll check and see what I can do,” and that can happen. But I went to Wally World and discovered that they make bulbs that are compatible. I plugged that in, and it worked. Go with ADT and don't waste your time with Vivint.

    I have had service with ADT for over four years, but since moving my service to a new address two years ago, it has been an absolute nightmare. First, they try to force you to sign up for automatic payments, threatening to cancel your service if you don't. Furthermore, they quote you a monthly fee that supposedly covers both the equipment costs and the monthly service charges bundled into a single payment. Then, they cut off your service; when you call to inquire, they tell you that you haven't been paying for the equipment—leaving you with a balance of $4,000.

    They transfer you between different departments, and you spend two hours on the phone, talking endlessly with various supervisors. Eventually, they acknowledge that the error lies with ADT—that they failed to split the payments correctly. They find a solution, you supposedly resolve the issue, yet time and again—every single time you call—the same error recurs.

    There is never a lasting solution, and the outstanding balance keeps climbing; it has now reached $7,000. I want to cancel my service immediately, as I have been locked in this battle with this company for two years—dealing with technicians, supervisors, and two-hour phone calls every single month. I have had enough. And the customer service is just as bad—the representatives are incredibly rude and disrespectful toward customers. They accuse you of lying, and absolutely no one does their job. My payment history is excellent—I have never made a late payment and have never offered excuses—yet this is the worst service imaginable. They are thieves who constantly demand more and more money; they deceive their customers, and no one ever resolves a thing.

    Once service was installed, not once during our 3 year contract did we receive a courtesy call to check if we were happy with our system or to see if it was running smoothly. Payments were deducted regulary though. After our old system started malfunctioning which caused repeated false alarms, we called to get help with troubleshooting and were told to replace batteries and to log on to our portal to see which batteries we needed. Service tech even said we could request some from ADT but that for faster resolution to the repeated false alarms, we'd be better off buying them ourselves, as ADT's request to send batteries would take too long.

    We continued to have issues with our old equipment and regular false alarms (as well as trouble with the less than helpful customer service ADT provided each time I called) and I considered canceling service altogether but to avoid lapses in security and to avoid the false alarms, made the decision to upgrade, renewing a contract which included installments for the new equipment. In short, the installment plan was ignored and we were charged the full amount for the new equipment, plus installation, plus service.

    When we tried to get a refund, were given the run around by customer service which seems to be outsourced and inefficient at giving resolutions other than the recommendation, "Your request is being reviewed, call back in 3-5 business days." Each time we called after 3-5 business days we were told to call back and made to feel as if we were at fault for calling, even belittled for "not understanding". Sadly, we got tired of waiting for a refund and basically involuntarily paid off the equipment AND we are still stuck on a two year contract for service all because we didn't take time to research our other choices or look for a system we could install ourselves and monitor for less.

One time, my son came home from college and he needed to get home. We weren’t around the house and he was trying to get in the home.
