The sales representative at ADT was the best. He's very professional, he knew what he was doing, he took time to explain how to work the system and the equipment and explained all the different packages they had. He was very well-versed. I love all the features that I got. It's user-friendly. That makes it even better because I'm 65. I have time to try to be working this and working that. It was super easy. I like how I can use my phone. Then when I'm almost home, I can just disarm it. I went back to work and was telling by how much I love ADT and I'm showing it to them and they were like, "I'm gonna get me one, now my daughter's a mom. I’ll be calling them and tell them I want the same thing you got." Overall, I love ADT.

When I was sold my system they told me if I moved I would get to move my system at no cost. While it is true they move the service but I just found out it does require you to buy a whole new physical system. So if you put out 2000 dollars for a system, and then have to move, you will be required to buy a whole new 2000 dollar system. It is a total scam. Don't fall for it. Buy something you can easily move yourself, and pay for a service that is a 10th of the price. You will be sorry if you believe anything the company tells you.

The advertisement is very misleading. They said the package was 27.99 and I made sure I asked their rep who said she was going to give me the price and that with the tax and stuff, it would be around $30. But when they came to the house, the guy said that the 27.99 price is not in New York State. From $27.99, it’s $40 now. Other than that, it was good with the sales rep and the installation team.

There are still some things with ADT that are pending. And each time I call, I don't get the person so I was getting so fed up and saying these people are not nice. I was given a name and a number. But that person had promised he was going to send somebody to come and fix something and they never came. Each time I called, nobody answered the phone. I have left a hundred messages. Nobody calls. So I said, “Okay. They don't want. All they want is my money.” When I applied, the people I talked to first were super special. I got some promises. I got their quotation. But then when the person came to install, things changed. I complained, talked to the representatives again, and they were nice. Then finally I got to get to Accounts and then they solved my problem.
My installation was not complete. The installation is not completed by Accounts. It’s completed by the people who are supposed to complete. So those people were supposed to come in, complete and fix some other things and they didn't come back. The first day, the person really helped me quite a lot because he made me understand this system, which I appreciated. But when I was calling to say, “When can the garage opener get installed,” I could not. I am dissatisfied but I can't do anything. I get people who will call and they understand. But then I get to somebody else who's supposed to solve the problem, and then they don't do it. When I call customer service, they're really helpful but I don't get help from where it is supposed to come from.

Russell, the gentleman from ADT, was patient enough. He went through the details. The price is on the high side, but no offense to the guy who sold us some stuff. I got that touchpad button because I didn't want it to shoot up on my monthly.

I had a history of trouble with our landline that was connected to a different alarm system, and I wanted to try to get rid of the landline to avoid that. While I was talking to a representative at a Verizon store about getting a box, they happened to mention that they knew a customer who had ADT and got rid of their landline, got ADT and it worked. So, I started down that path. The very first person I talked to was great. She was very informative and very good about answering my questions. The second person that I talked to was giving me cost information. I felt like they kind of went into sales mode really fast and wanted me to buy more than I wanted to buy, but I ended up at a price that I thought was reasonable that we could afford.
The installation was scheduled very quickly. It was on a Saturday, and the guy who came here worked very well. He ran into a few problems having to do with the wiring of our old system. He worked it out, and got it all set up. It went very well. He was here for about three hours. The system that I ended up with is pretty simple. All we have is door alarms and one motion detector. I wasn’t left with any information though, just the card that said, “This is what the buttons do on your control panel.” I didn't have any information about account number. So, when I tried to fill out the form that was required for the $100 rebate on the installation, it asked for a lot of information that I didn't have.
I would love to have the user's manual, too. I ended up calling some number I found on the internet, and they helped me set up my ADT site. Once I got into that, I was able to find a billing statement that has all the account information on it. I was able to find it online, but I thought, “Well, I was surprised I wasn't left with any paper.” I would like something a little more than just to arm it and disarm it. That was basically all the card said. I wish there was a little more information about how it worked, and what to do if you push the wrong button.

The rep that came out was able to answer my questions and make me feel comfortable to go ahead with the process of getting the alarm system. But the installation had to be done in two parts. They didn't tell me that when I got the camera system, I had to pay the 299 upfront. It threw me off that I didn't have the money in my account to pay that. I had to reschedule an appointment for the installer to come back and do the camera part of it.

ADT's installer was outstanding. He couldn't fix the cameras up because there was a prerequisite that we didn't have fixed until this week. Other than that, ADT was absolutely outstanding and I've had a very good experience with them. Their website detail is limited though and it needs to be expanded to make it easier to understand and to help a customer make a better-informed decision.

Not knowing what to do, and never having a security system, I just looked on Angie's List. They had a coupon that was a great offer for some of the equipment to be included for $99. So, we got $800 worth of equipment included with it, with the redeemable coupon.
Donald, our ADT rep, did an amazing job. I would have never felt as comfortable and safe without the courtesy and care of the person who helped us. It was so wonderful with him. I just didn't know the price that would be involved. If we did not have the money to do it, I would never have been able to afford it. I had no idea it would be in the thousand dollar range. But it worked out for us because safety over money sometimes is worth it.

I wanted to try something different than what I already had and I went with ADT. I lived in New Jersey and I wanted the security system to be installed into the home in South Carolina. When I spoke to the rep, she went over the plan and the packaging then she gave me the price breakdown. I told her it was great and she told me I'd get the keypad, the door locks, and all these features. She also said that my bill would be less than $60 a month. But when I set up the appointment, a few days before I was flying to South Carolina, the rep never showed up. So, I called and they said it was a mix-up. They wrote a wrong phone number down and it was a whole big thing that cost me an additional $600 for an additional flight. I had to change my flight and I had to get my rental car extended.
Then, a rep got on the phone and said she'd fix it. She said she'd have somebody there tomorrow morning, which meant I had a delay and everything was pushed back. So, their rep came and said that the service rep misinformed me of the details. I showed him everything that I wrote down and he said that was right but she quoted me the wrong amount. So, I didn't get everything that I was promised over the phone. I just got the panel and the door locks. Everything else that I was promised, I wasn't able to get. They also said they were going to give me a credit and they didn't give me a credit on my account.
The installer also told me that there's been a lot of problems with the customer service team with misquoting products and pricing. So, they may want to retrain those reps, which might help in the future. Aside from that, I was told that they're getting rid of their entire customer service team and they want to go that route because this has caused me a lot of unnecessary money. All in all, I'm very dissatisfied with ADT. I had to get the service because I had no choice as I was not going to be in that state and I was flying back to New Jersey. But when I get back in April 2nd, I'm going to cancel.

Michael came here and he was very personable. He interacted with my son. He explained things. The only thing that I'm concerned about is the hole that was drilled through the house, where the wire went in, so there's still a little gap on the outside. But everything else went great. I had the system installed on Saturday and on Monday, two of my cameras didn't work. I tried to call but it got a little difficult for me trying to reach out to somebody. So I went to the two cameras that did not work and unplugged them, and then I plugged them back up and they did work. Since I did that, I have called Michael and he called me back. We talked about it. He told me hat shouldn't happen anymore. He was very kind and sympathetic. As of right now, everything is good. I'm very satisfied. The only thing is that I would like to be able to go back and watch when I hit the camera. Like, if I'm working, I may not be able to go and check the live view.

The guy that I spoke with on the phone was all right. The technician that came out to install the system was wonderful. He showed us everything we were smart enough to ask. The system records movement, which is what it's supposed to do. But we've been having a lot of rain. It takes rain pictures every few minutes. We get like 60,000 pictures a month. I hope we don't go over that because it records all the rain we're getting. That’s the only thing we’ve noticed.

When I first spoke to the rep at ADT, she told me about the bundles and all that good stuff. They were talking me into getting the premium system but I didn't want to spend $60 for the home security just to have a video cam. I explained to them the main reason I got it was I need the chime for the kids. I have a pool and I want to make sure if they open the rear door, we hear the notification wherever we are in the house.
They offered a free camera with it but when the technician came, he told me that with the $27 package, I could not do the camera. It wasn't covered. It kind of somewhat forced me to get the $59 pckage because I wanted the camera. I didn't like that they told me one thing over the phone but when the technician came in, I couldn't do what they knew I wanted to do. I had to call my fiancee and we had to make sure if we could put it in our budget. I had a technician sitting there waiting for my response because I was making the decision. But the experience with the technician was a great one. He explained how the system works.

I’ve used ADT when I lived in South Carolina. I know their equipment and what they do. That was what I wanted to purchase when I contacted them again but my experience with their sales rep was troublesome and he very much misled me on the phone. We had an existing system in the house and the house was three years old when we purchased it. I told him what we had and he told me that that was one of ADT’s sister companies. He said that with all the equipment w we had, we'd have an $850 credit. The main thing that we were looking for was the doorbell camera, which was what what my wife wanted, and he said that that was covered. He also said that we were going to get out of there with very little money at all.
But when the technician finally got there, he said it would all cost $3,472 and that was after we got the credit for the 850. He said he couldn't use the sensors I already had and in the end, he didn't use anything that was existing that I was told was going to be used. So we ended up not getting as much protection as we thought. I bought the system for $2,200 and had it in because we wanted the system put in. But financially-wise, I’m not happy at all. I had more protection for less money in South Carolina than what I got here.
All in all, I would recommend ADT's equipment. It does what it's supposed to do. But the technician that came out spent six hours at our house and for three of those hours, all he did was talk and try to sell me stuff. I told him that was not what I wanted but he kept going on and on to the point where I told him that I got some place I had to be. He was a friendly and nice guy, and he wasn't rude but he didn’t shut up. He was there to do a job, but he thought that the job he had to do was to be a salesman, trying to sell me everything that ADT offered.

I've known about ADT forever. I had a small provider, but he wasn't responsive. I knew ADT, being as large, is very responsive. And I've thought about going to ADT for a couple of years now anyway. Getting a time took three weeks, but that's all right. I had a very knowledgeable installer. I was so impressed. He was knowledgeable and superb.
The reps were very good, but it was a little misleading in, “You're going to get all these free charges.” And when it was all over, it cost me $1,500. The sales people wanted to make a sale. Also, they said, “Yes, your monthly fee, it's going to cost you $27 a month.” It's actually costing me $53 a month. They need to be more specific in just saying, “Probably, there are going to be charges when you install.” All my windows and doors were supposedly covered and it wouldn't cost me anything, but it cost a lot more. They had window contact at 278. And then they said shocker sensors, 2,873, equipment credit. I was told all of that was free, and it ended up being 1,496.41. They need to be much more transparent and say, “Yeah, I'm giving you this. They’re free, but it's still gonna cost you.”
I got two different numbers so I’m supposed to get two visa cards at 100 each. So that was a little more refreshing. I've been in the banking business forever. They're true sales people, and they're very good. I knew that going in, talking with them. And all very nice and professional. It was Victoria who stayed on the line. When we went through all of this, she was the first contact. And I talked with Ronald, and he talked about all the sensors, the entry points, that it was going to cost $28 monthly. 99-plus for the installation, which they took right away. He talked about cameras but I don't need them. We recapped it, but it ended up still costing a lot more than I thought it would. It was the equipment that threw me off. But this way, I can arm the system on my phone if I want to.

The system works fine. The only downside is the things that aren't being communicated very well to the customers. It's misleading to get onto it and catch them on the hook.

The representatives that I dealt with on the phone were awesome. They were really nice and considerate. They were pretty thorough. But the technician that installed the system was very unprofessional. He didn't explain to me that there were different systems and parts. He didn't tell me the different options and the different pricing. So I couldn't make an informed decision, if I did want to upgrade or not. He came in, sat on my chair and said he gotta go take a look at my house. Then he came back and sat down and he told me what all I paid for or whatever went with the package. After that, he said it would be about $400. I told him that I thought I paid for it already. He said that he was giving me some type of system with that system. I said, "Well, what did I pay for? What's the difference in what I paid for and what I have now?" He said, "Well, I gave you the best stuff."
I told him that I would just stick to what I got and then he talked with a attitude and said, "Well, fine. Well, what do you want to take off?" I asked him what he was talking about. He said, "Well, if you want it to be at the price you said, what do you want to take off?" I literally didn't even know what he was talking about or what devices. I asked him what did they have and he started telling me. I told him that I would just do the windows and the doors and the motion sensors. Then he said it came with one keypad. But I told him that the guy on the phone told me it came with two keypads. He said, "Well, you gonna have to pay more money." He did the insulation just fine. When I came downstairs, I asked him if I would still get the video or the recorder. He said no. I told him that the guy on the phone told me that he was going to throw that in there. He said that I could get it if I pay for the touchscreen. I wanted him out of my house at that point.

The first installation was okay but the tech didn't use the correct adhesives on the back. Two of the devices fell off the very next day. I was able to stick one of them back up above the back door, but the one that fell off of our garage door broke the sensor. They were back out that Saturday when I could get them out there, and they put a new one on, and then put the correct adhesive behind the device. Other than that, the ADT is awesome. The keyboard’s great. They showed us how to make changes. We got the glass shatter monitoring, too. They did an excellent job.
The contact I've had so far with service people and on the phone has been awesome. With the new system that we got, I like that the fire monitoring system is connected directly to the fire department. There's no delay. That's all we use the system for. I have two big labs. San Antonio police is notorious for shooting your dogs if your alarm goes off in case they have to come in the house. So, unless we're gone somewhere with our dogs, the alarm isn't typically set.

Moving first into my home, there was a retailer who came to my house. He offered me a package and I didn’t follow up. I called ADT myself to see if I could get a better deal. The sales rep was awesome and he gave me a lot of information that I didn’t know of prior. The installer arrived early, went through detailed information, and gave me various options to pick from in terms of security.
Speaking with the initial sales rep, I was under the impression that I was going to be provided with $1,900 credit for equipment that I could spend whichever way I wanted to. When the technician came, he said, "You got $1,900 worth of credit but the stuff that you added is considered an upgrade." One upgrade was $500. In the end, I decided on the basic unit which was for the 27.99. The basic is maybe $300 worth of equipment. It only included the sensors for the windows, the doors, and a smoke alarm.
I thought that with the $1,900 I could get the monitors and the door lock. I thought whatever I spend of the $1,900, that would be just what I would spend based on the credit. But as opposed to paying 27.99, I would then pay 53.99 for the monitoring and the camera devices. That was a shock to me. I was anxious to spend this $1,900 worth of credit on equipment. So far, the system has been good. I feel that we have something just in case something goes sour. If I'm not home and my kids are home, they'll be safe. I know that they're protected. We have security at our other apartment so I'm used to it at this point.

Then the door doesn't lock exactly right sometimes. We were going to call back and see if they’d come back out and look at it. But it seems like if we’d lock it with the phone app, it locks just fine.

It was my mother who decided to go with ADT. I wouldn't have gone with them if it was up to me. We changed internet boxes and the cameras went out. The reps couldn't help me over the phone just to turn the cameras back on and they had to send a technician out. It's now covered for the 90 days but after the 90 days, if the internet and cameras were to go out, it's not. So, ADT will charge me 100 for them to come out and fix the cameras. That kinda sucks and did not make me happy. ADT is expensive in the first place. But the communication was great as well as the technicians. I like that I can see the cameras on my phone and that I can unlock the front door and disarm the system with my phone.

I was introduced to ADT about four years ago and I have their service at my current living location. The reps I spoke with over the phone were patient and understanding. I’m a female and a new homeowner and Ryan, the guy who did the installation, guided me through what was necessary for me and for my protection, being that I was going to be by myself. He explained everything thoroughly, gave great advice and was overall very professional. I am enjoying everything about the system. I love the concept with the door being able to lock my door from my phone and also where he recommended putting the motion sensors made sense. It provided extra security as well as the camera, and him walking me through all the features there. He was trying to play around with stuff and potentially messing up.

I had ADT a few years ago. Then, my father sent me an email with this advertisement about how much services you'd get, how many products you'd get, and the $100 gift card rebate. So, I went with them again and the sales rep I talked to was very good. The installer was fabulous, too. But instead of paying $99 for an installation, it became $397, since I needed to add the another item plus installation. That was a big shocker. The sales rep should’ve probed little bit more as to what I needed, not just sell me the package and make it sound better than it was. But the gentleman that was there for the installation explained it very well as to why I couldn't do what they were selling me over the phone and I felt comfortable that he wasn't just trying to sell me something. Unfortunately, I have two problems now and they're going to come out on Saturday.

ADT had a good program for me, so I went with them.

I was told the package that I would be able to get would be at a low price and it would include the basic things that are needed. But it didn't and I would have to pay more than what I was told if I would get the features that I wanted. I was going to go with that but it was not affordable for me, so I need to downgrade.

My sales rep was very nice. When I called, she thought it was going to be a switchover because I had a system. It turned out, it couldn't be because Time Warner or Spectrum has encoded everything so ADT can't get into it. That was fine and was no big deal. It's just that I had a sensor on my basement door and I didn't get that with ADT. I would have to pay more for it. My technician was great and he showed me everything like how the system worked. I had an alarm before so I was familiar with how it worked. The people, on the whole, were very customer-friendly and it was easy to deal with them.
Last night, we were out and I got an email. I have a glass break thing and the alarm went off. I came home and one of my puppies had gotten a glass dressing model out of the recycling and must have dropped that. I liked that the system didn't immediately call the police. If I hadn't responded, they would have but that would have been such a waste.
I will have to call about the glass break because it is probably a little too sensitive. The glass didn't even break. The system just heard the noise of the glass dressing model dropping on the ground. The technician told me I could get the glad break system adjusted and maybe I should have done that. The glass break is a nice option to have for people, especially if you have an animal in the house. You can't have the motion detector. I have dogs so they set it off.

I had to have another guy come back and link it with my phone because it was constantly going off. He set the perimeters up but it would pick up everything. It continued to do that but I finally figured it out by calling back and forth with the ADT reps. I can go to a desktop and change it but I'm still having the same issues. I finally shut the notifications off of my phone because they trip all the time. It kept me up all night long one night. It was every few minutes. It's not doing its job at all.
I haven't called ADT since they came out a couple of days ago. I was gonna give ADT a call and tell them that I was dissatisfied on the camera side.

ADT is an industry leader and it's synonymous with home protection, which made me decide to go with them. The rep was very knowledgeable but intentionally persuasive. The initial phone call lasted 45 minutes and the same result could have been accomplished in a much shorter time period. On the initial installation, there were some issues where the tech needed to reach out to a dispatch center that took a long time to work through. It was an extended installation. It lasted six hours when we didn't even have internet to install cameras. It seemed like something that certainly shouldn't have taken that long and part of that is due to dispatch being difficult to reach and maintain contact with. The system has been great so far although I thought the cameras would alert on motion and they don't send alerts through the app. Also, having someone drilling holes in your wall that's not a contractor is something that people may have to be prepared for.

I initially called and we spoke about it was a new home, and we mentioned there were few sensors that were installed by the builder. They mentioned that when someone comes out, they'll do an assessment, that most likely the sensors that are currently in the home may be able to be used and be changed to a credit, and then the little things such as the doorbell and possibly some other things to be considered when somebody comes out for my installation.
The first technician that came out on the first appointment was Howell. He was nice, but in the long run, he was pretty much focused on commission, which led me to have a headache of the other appointments. Instead of doing an honest assessment that would be best for my home, he did a package that was best for his outcome or pay. I told him that he can't utilize some things that I currently have, that this is a new home, we’ve barely been here a month, let me just go into my research and I wanna see if there's any other providers that may be able to honor what I currently have versus paying out $500 for a package and it's not lining up to what I was told when I initially called. He told me that it was fine. He had to leave the items that was there in my home and someone else had to come out to take them away.
I called it to customer service the same day that he was out there. We spoke. Someone said that they would send a more skilled technician to my home. That guy came out. Pretty much, he didn't understand what was the concern. He asked me where I wanted my cameras. I told him where and he installed those. Then I asked why the sensors were there even though I told them we weren’t activating those. They were already installed in my door and around my windows. Howell stated that time that I had to get all new sensors inside my windows, which was gonna be another price package and that was the reason why I just went ahead and said that if we'd do anything, we do the sensors for the doors and get the cameras front and back.
I asked if he referenced the note. I gave him a little speech on what was going on, to find out he could do it, he brought the actual transmitter to do it, but instead of checking to see where my box was to do the transmitting piece, which needed a key, and I wasn't aware of. I had to reach out to the people that did the electric piece of the house and ask them if they had the key. They had it, but it was gonna be two hours out so he could not wait. I had to call them again to get someone else to come in.
There's a lot of confusion about pricing too and the ADT website does not give any insight on it. There's no document that says they have a package for this amount, or in case you have this, we take this off. It's almost like we have a set package and the items are not compatible, so we have to go with this, to a point I was lied to. Package can be helpful. They also need to be honest and upfront.
Throughout this whole time, I paid my initial $99 for the appointment. I even swiped my card for the 498 that he did. And then because I wasn't even officially installed, I was already charged for the first one, which I understand that's the billing process. I give it that. ADT is getting everything in reference to a financial standpoint, but they're not doing me right. Before going with them, do all research. If I would do a comparison, then maybe consider them, but it's where almost to a point the blind’s leading the blind because I have to trust what they're telling me. If something doesn't feel right, just say, “Hey, pause. Let me really think about this because I feel like I'm making a rash decision that's not the best and not what I wanted.”
Good Afternoon, Vincent-- We're so sorry for the troublesome experience during signing up.

But now, it has been working perfectly ever since the second day. ADT had a really fast response whenever there was a false alarm. When the sensor on my bathroom window fell off, they notified me immediately. They called me to make sure everything was safe. I told them that I wasn't home and they sent people out to make sure everything was good.
I’m still not available to go to my house and my neighborhood has said that the alarm keeps going off for the back window. My neighbor is very upset about that.

I was not happy with the guys who were telling me some of the things that I could do and selling me information because I was sold a bill of goods. I asked the individual if I could use my Xfinity software, door sensors and things of that nature associated with the ADT hardware, and he said yes. That was one of the things that I based my decision to go with them but when the ADT rep showed up, he said that they couldn’t tie into Xfinity sensors. So, I ended up getting more sensors than I was led to understand that I needed. I was thinking I was going to get the 28.95 because I didn't have to get any other sensors or pay anything for it other than what came with the package. But it didn't. So, I ended up with the $950 equipment package that they originally provided me. But Jeremy, the guy who did the installation, was marvelous and did an outstanding job. He went out of his way to make me happy.
One of the things that I had a discussion with the sales guy was that I have the cameras and the system, and all I got to do is put it in there. I asked a specific question and I was surprised that he gave me the answer that since Jeremy was gonna be up there, he could help me install it or pull the wires. So, when I talked to Jeremy, he said he didn’t know why they told me that but he would help because he wanted to. I told him that I only want him to pull the wires and he said he would do it. So, Jeremy was good. He was late for his next appointment and I said that this was teetering on what's going to happen whether I'm going to get it or not. I already got the system in here and the one thing that they have over Comcast is that this is cable-based. So if somebody cuts my cable, I'm done. But ADT has a phone-based system, which makes it okay.
Even though ADT gave me a $950 credit for the equipment, by the time I picked up the additional sensors, the glass breaker and the other things, I ended up spending an additional $1,400. So, I had to get my wife in there. We were bantering back and forth and Jeremy ended up showing us something that we wanted to demo. He only provided one keypad and we talked about the other keypad and he got me a break on the cost of the keypad, which my wife saw and she said she was good. We now have another keypad, which was the same thing that we had with Comcast, and that was the selling point. It's small and looks like an iPad and that was the point that she accepted it.
I told Jeremy that it was a good thing that he was talking to his supervisor. He gave us quite a break because it went down from 2,200. I said I wasn’t paying $2,000 because I already got this equipment in here. So when he got it down and he was able to fix it for me, I said that I was gonna move with them. If it wasn't for ADT's other people and I'm giving them kudos, ADT would have probably lost this business. I'm disappointed and if I were to recommend it to a friend, I would tell them to be careful what these guys are telling them over the phone. It was my understanding that the installer would show up and explain to me what I need and what can be done. So, it put him in a predicament also.

The service with ADT is beautiful and I feel secure. I did start looking for other services and got worried and nervous but I'm so happy that I went with ADT. I didn't get all the gadgets and smart locks but down the line, I may upgrade a little bit. It makes a difference if a person is knowledgeable about the product. So, if you want to be that salesperson, you better know what you're talking about. The genuineness, the compassion and showing that they cared about my security sold me on ADT. When I first called in, the lady was so pleasant and awesome. Then, the guy that came to my house was knowledgeable about the products. So, it’s not the sales but the passion.

The gentleman from ADT who called me was very polite. He said that everything will be covered for a monthly payment of $28.99 but my daughter-in-law who recently had ADT installed told me that it was very inexpensive. But all the equipment costs are charges that you pay too. I didn't realize that. I should have realized that because there was a lot of equipment in this house. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the way they acted and I've always heard good things about them.
The installer came out on a Saturday morning between 7:45 and 8 o'clock which was early and then he was here all day. He went over everything with me. I’ve forgotten already half of what he has told me but I know that everything works. He was very knowledgeable, nice, courteous, efficient and he knew what he was doing. Every time I open a door, I have to be mindful that it's gotta be closed within a very short period or the alarms go off. That's something I have to work on or else, during the day, put it as non-operating. I am very satisfied with the system. As the days go on, I learn more and get more comfortable with it.

The installer got here at 8:00 and he was gone by 11:30. He was wonderful and he explained everything. He did the walkaround and we decided on something a little safer than just the doors. He put in smoke alarms at each end.
I got in my car and set my alarm with my phone on the first day. That's pretty neat. The other night, I had already set my alarm for my doors and I couldn't find my cellphone. I opened the back door and the alarm started beeping. My granddaughter came running. I told her, "I forgot about it. I was going out back to get my phone. I left it out back."

He said I could get a $100 visa but I haven't received my gift card yet. That aside, I like that with the system, I’m not worried about who is by the door or the window.

The installation of my ADT system went pretty good. I was a little bit disappointed because from what I understood from the get-go, I was gonna get a camera doorbell and I did not get that. When the installation guy was leaving, I had asked about the doorbell cam and he said that it wasn't originally in the package. There was some miscommunication, but that doesn't mean that their system's not good. The guy was still extremely nice. He took his time and did the job right. ADT just needs to be more detailed on what the package is including and what security devices are going to be involved.
The guy did go up and beyond. I really wanted a camera on my back door, but the way that my house was, it was going to be almost an impossible thing because he was saying that they can't plug the cameras outside because then it's easy for somebody to just pull the camera and unplug the hammer. He was really struggling on trying to get the camera up and it not be aesthetically ugly too. He battled with it for probably the entire time he was there, and then finally, he had came up with two solutions prior to that, and I was okay with them.

At my first call, I was advised that the equipment installation would be free and that it would require a contract. But when the technician arrived, I was charged $538 for the equipment. Today, I looked on my phone and there was an advertisement for ADT. It said that equipment installation would be free of charge with initiating the contract. That was really false.
On the very first day of the installation, everything went haywire. There are zones called rules that activate areas to have the recordings begin. There are three zones per camera. The next day, it was continually going off on my phone alerting that there was motion continually all day long. I called to find out what could be done. Technicians came yesterday and found that the area for rules of recording were overlapping and causing a lot of problems. For example, the first technician included the sidewalk and the street in the area of activation. Every time somebody walks their dog, it would go off. They adjusted it and it's a lot better now. The second technicians were very helpful and almost apologetic that I had to go through all that. On the whole, I was disappointed.

ADT sucks. Somebody drove into my garage. I was gone. I was at 7-Eleven. My renters heard something, and they came down because you can't just go and look on a monitor. You gotta log on. My garage doors are hanging by a limb and the cameras could be accessed. Somebody owes me new garage doors and my cameras that would monitor my garage. I said in my very first phone call, I paid the $99 and that's what I wanted monitored. I also said that when we sat down and he had his full folder out what I wanted monitored. And I let him do that. I had to leave for a little while, but I had somebody here. The guy should get fired. The protection that I needed done, never got done. They're responsible for this. What pisses me off the most what I asked for specifically was my garage be monitored, and the tech didn't do it.
I have three cameras. The middle camera doesn't have any talkback. The tech said that it would be able to monitor who comes in the house, anyone who would go up and down the stairs. Also, I can reach every camera there is, and I'm only five foot three. Nobody should be able to reach a camera like that. The guy did a poor job. It's because he thought he would not make a bunch of money off of me.
I live in a pocket houses in Northwest Portland, where every other person has ADT. I wanted the doorbell thing because they were having a special. But when the guy got here, there was no special, is what happens two days after I go ahead and I get some cameras, which I could have just done at the store and had one of my buddies put the cameras up. My own system would have cost me about the same amount of money if not a bit less. Because monitoring from my phone and all that is slow. I log on and then I don't know if somebody is coming. The sensor that he put in my kitchen never worked. I don't even know why I have a sensor in the kitchen. And then, let's say everybody has it, then anybody who is sitting and listening to me talk and tell somebody what is the log on or that person that rents for me logs on to look at the cameras, if they want to look at it, there's no separation of my control or privacy.

The alarm system is good. I've been meaning to call in a couple of days about the back camera not working, but besides that, that's it. Also, the representative was communicating but he didn't tell me anything about these payments I would make. I paid $100-some for ADT to come out, and then I paid an additional $300-some once they got here. And then, they took $80 out of my account, saying it was for the first month's bill. So altogether, I spent almost $600 on the security system, but it wasn't told it would happen like that. And they just took the money out of my account without me knowing. I was gonna cancel the whole thing, but my fiancée wanted it. The only reason I kept this is because we're in a new home in an area I don't trust yet. But they gotta communicate all this extra, let people know where this is going to happen, that is going to happen, etc. I would never recommend anybody if they are going to operate like this.

ADT was very quick at setting up an appointment and charging my card for installation. They changed the appointment on me at one point, which was fine. Then the person that came gave a very different cost than what at least I thought that I received when I got the promotion from where I found them on. So, I had to negotiate on that and work with them. The charges were monthly $10 more than what the other company competitors were giving for the same type of services. Even that, I agreed with.
He did the installation except for the cameras because I didn't have Wi-Fi yet. I told him that the Wi-Fi people would be coming on Monday, and that was Thursday. He said he'd come back on that day to finish the camera installation once I have the internet and that I should text him on the cell phone he left with me about the timing. After whatever he did, there was a call from ADT asking me if the installation went fine according to what I expected. Even though he hadn't finished because of the camera, he told me to tell the lady that the installation was completed, because he planned to come on Monday. I agreed, so he basically had me lie, which I trusted him. He then left.
Once I had the confirmation from internet company, I texted him on Saturday or Sunday about the timing and that he could come after that. He texted me back saying he already has some other installation booked up and they don't do follow-up installation until after 2:00 PM. I told him that time would be fine. Then he said he has other things lined up.
I texted him on Tuesday asking if he could install that day and he said he has two other installations already scheduled. At that point, I told him that he was supposed to finish an installation before taking up new projects. That was what he signed up for. He didn't come on Monday and he still couldn't come on Tuesday, so I asked the number of his supervisor because I would complain. He told me that it's unlawful to give his supervisor's contact. I told him that there is nothing unlawful about that because they are in a business. He responded back saying his supervisor was the one telling him to tell me to call the ADT schedule line to schedule the follow-up installation. He never gave me the contact of the supervisor. I had to call ADT.
Now, according to what the ADT rep sees in the system, the person who came on Thursday marked the installation as complete. So, if someone else has to come and install the cameras, I will be charged separately for that. I said that is not right because that's not what I was told. I have it written that the guy will come back and do that. He transferred me to some other people who then said that they will go ahead and schedule but it only showed three cameras versus four. They have to send the same person to see if they will honor that and the earliest installation available by then is Friday. I had no choice, so I agreed to that.
Come Friday, finally, the same guy came and installed four cameras. It was not really the location that I would have wanted. He installed it where it was easy and convenient to install and by then, I was done with having to do anything with him, so I just said to do whatever he needed to and just go. After that, I don't wanna call them or deal with them ever again. I have never had a national company like ADT, with that reputation, and then having this kind of people as their authorized dealer. The ADT themselves also are not even doing anything. It is the most painful experience I've ever had trying to get security installed for my home.

The range of the remote isn't long enough. It works but the range is only 100 feet.

I have to be standing pretty close to the panel. But it's not a big deal. As long as I can arm and disarm from the panel, it's fine.

ADT's service is very slow and their promotion doesn't tell the truth. They don't tell me details and everybody has a different story. I chose a package for my first year which had a promotion price. In my second year, half the year was the normal price but in fact, they gave me a promotion price. I called them many times but nobody can resolve the problem for me. There are many tricks in their sales.

I had an ADT system previously and I just called them to get it reconnected and upgraded. A manager came out and did the installation. He explained it really well. He took his time and went over it two or three times to make sure that we understood how to set the alarm, and even if we wanted to put in a secondary code on the panel itself, he showed us how to do that as well. The only downside of it is we are still waiting for the key fobs, the keychain, to come in the mail. They come with the system. He was out of them at the moment. But other than that, the service was tremendous. We've been using the app on our phone to arm and unarm the system.

We've been using ADT for 20 years. The first experience we had with them was really great at the residence. Then, the second experience on the commercial property was just okay, because the technicians were too busy talking about sports and doing the install. I had to ask them if they could move it along and keep their conversation, but going with the install rather than talking about sports. The same techs who came in and installed the system at the business were supposed to bring back a stand for the interface the following day, which was last Saturday. But they never came back.
