    ADT has been around for a while and I went to the website. The tech who came to my home was great and I liked talking to him. I was impressed with his knowledge, and with him helping me and telling me about things. It was a good experience with ADT.

    A girlfriend of mine has ADT already for about seven and a half years. I was at her house and saw the thing and I was telling her and she said, “Why don’t you call ADT? I’ve had them for seven and a half years and I'm fine.” So that's why I called. I had some problems with the doorbell. It kept discharging. Then I called their rep and he came and he said, “I don't know why it’s discharging.” Then he figured it out by looking at something that's in the closet. He said it's only 14 volts and he said the doorbell requires 16 to 20. So he said, “You just need to get another one of those things so the voltage is higher." We did and took care of that. He came by and he checked it and he said, “Everything is okay.” I'm satisfied with ADT. I'm happy. I feel fine with it and I feel very secure.

    I was looking online for some protection company. An ad came and then I sent an email and ADT called me. I was looking for information to find if there is somebody could satisfy my need. I spoke with Apple and she explained to me and she made me feel very secure. But it was a complete lie. I didn't know it was a lie. When the technician came, they asked her and the technician installed the thing and I told him that Apple said he could check for me what I needed to be checked. But he told me no and that he didn't do that. I explained to Apple my concern about my ex and she told me that the technician would be able to tell me that. But the technician was not able to tell me that. He told me that I would be able to check if somebody come in or not. My ex is an engineer electronic and even if he could get in, there is a recording of when I turn on and off the system. So I was okay with that.

    The day after, when I wanted to check, it was a nightmare because one person sent me to another person, then another person sent me to another person, and one person said I need to go on Alarm.com. I went on Alarm.com and then I called again and told them I have all the recording on my phone. They said, “No, no, no. You need the membership. You need to pay. You cannot go to alarm.com if you don't have a membership.” But why didn't they tell me that first? Then I talked to somebody for more than an hour. I was so upset. I didn't need that. I didn't want another thing to add to my stress. It was terrible.

    I sent an email and I didn't get an answer to it. It was Labor Day. Then I called Tuesday the week after Labor Day. I explained to another person again but they have no record of me calling on Thursday, the week before. I said I called more than an hour and I have it on my phone. But they said they didn't have that. Then they said, “But why you let the technician install when you realize Apple lied?” One of them lied and now it has become my problem. I am so angry. But I need to take care of things in priority. I need to finish my test. I need to go for my procedure in the hospital. I don't need this aggravation.

    I have ADT with my business too, and I don't have any problem with the service. So that was one of the driving factors for me to get it again. The sales process and the installation were good, but I still haven't gotten any information about my gift card. Also, for me, there should be a couple more accessories that come along with it for their system. They should have a chime doorbell that could interlink with it.

    All my friends had ADT. Some families I knew had it and they always said it was a good protection. ADT is famous too. Everywhere I go, I would see those posters. The sales rep was helpful and answered all the questions that I had. The installers were nice and the experience was good. Usually, people stick to themselves. They do their job and leave. But these guys were very friendly so it was easier to get along with them. ADT’s people did everything they needed to do and did it within an hour or two. It was fast and helpful. One of the guys told us to text him if we need any help afterwards. He’ll personally come. So that was helpful.

    My experience with ADt was terrible. So, I canceled. They came to my house to give me a quote. The tech installed the panel before ever telling me how much it was going to be. Then when I said I needed to think about it, he said, “We already installed the panel,” and then he made me kinda feel like I had to choose this. Then he came back a couple days later to finish installing everything. I told him I wanted to cancel. I didn't wanna use ADT. So, he took everything out of the house but leaving screws all over the place. There's also a hole in my laundry room through to my garage from where the panel was. He left my doorbell off and my fire detectors down.

    I'm not thrilled. I’m not one to complain but I was very upset. Then I called to get my refund back. They said, “Oh, no. We can’t give you a refund.” I said, “I cancelled within so many days,” and then they agreed to give me my refund, but I have yet to receive it. I am $400 out and I have no security system, and I have a mess in my house. I'm very dissatisfied. I would never ever use it.

    When I bought the new home, they told me what services were in the area. AT&T was the service in the area which led me to ADT. Their reps were very informative and provided everything that they felt that I needed to know. That was how I knew to contact my insurance company and I ended up lowering my insurance on my home for getting ADT. It has been a plus.

    The installers who came out showed me everything that they were gonna do. They even asked me a few questions and once they got out here, they told me where they thought things should be versus where they had marked them off to be, which was a good experience. I now am pleased with where everything was put on the home. I felt comfortable with the people that came out and I really feel good about the whole experience. To a few of my friends that are trying to also buy homes in this neighborhood, I have given them Protect Your Home's information.

    I recently just moved into Slippery Rock. It's like it's out in the middle of nowhere and I got CenturyLink for internet service because it's the only place that services my area. After I set up my service with CenturyLink, they forwarded me over to ADT. They were running a promotion where you get so much amount of equipment for free as long as you pay the installation service. It came out to be $850 worth of service equipment that I got, so it's pretty cool. I talked to one person from ADT and our conversation went really well. I had a lot more of concerns than I think that she was able to help me with. She did transfer me to a manager, and he was phenomenal. I do a lot of customer service in my position as well, and I know it's a hard job.

    The service tech worked with me. He listened to the concerns that I had here at my new location. He was great and very personable. He ran into a little bit of an issue trying to install the actual keypad entry in the wall. I was a little bit nervous because he had already put the hole in the wall, but he kept his cool about it. He said, "Well, I already put the hole here, so I'll figure it out." It took him longer than he had anticipated, but he handled himself very well.

    My fiancé was here at the time. So they were having their own conversation. The tech made sure that we both understood how everything works. I wasn't able to afford the first offer that he gave me, so he talked to some people and got me some other things. The only reason why I signed up for it was because I wanted the security surveillance video cameras outside. But I don't have a high enough internet upload system here. So he said, "I'm not gonna install you with something that doesn't work." He replaced the security cameras that I wanted with smoke alarms instead. So, it worked out.

    Since having the system installed, I feel more safe. At night, especially when I go to sleep, I can set my security system. I did run into an issue with it the other day. It was down for like 48 hours, but I had also lost cell service too through Verizon. They had a big outage. But it's all good. I recommended ADT to a lot of people. It was a very easy setup and transition. It's very affordable for the immediate show up if I were needed to call 911 or there was a fire. It's very quick and it's simple to use that I feel as though anybody at any age could learn how to use it.

    ADT's rep was very good and the sales visit didn't take too long. He did the installation as well and it was fine, except that there was one thing that I had asked for, and I didn't figure out until the end that he couldn't provide that. It was a camera on my front porch. The only reason I even called ADT was because I thought people are coming on to my porch occasionally at night, and I wanted to know who they are.

    Brinks was trying to get me to buy something from them but I didn’t. I figured ADT was safer and better. They’ve got great people to work with based on their personality, how they talk to people and how they treat people. The installer was a very nice guy and he was wonderful. I was shown the product and how it worked. The only thing that the guy might have forgotten was the key chain with the door thing. He was probably tired. He was supposed to give me that key chain thing to disarm. If the alarm goes off and I’m not home, I could use that. The experience with ADT was awesome.

    I did some research and I liked all that ADT offered, which was quite a bit more than the other companies. I felt a little more secure with everything that they do. It was the correct family of security for me. The experience has been wonderful and more like family. They don't treat me like they don't know who I am and not like a number, and not that they got a good sale. It was very heartfelt. The installation was marvelous and the young man who came was very sweet. I'm rather old and when I saw him, I hoped that there was no communication gap. There wasn't at all and he was very patient with me. I asked him several times the same question because I have a hard time processing at my age. He never once barked at me or never made me feel anything but like a good human being.

    To this day, sometimes I call and ask. I would say I forgot what he said and how to do things again but he has never made me feel like I was stupid or that I don't deserve this ADT or that I should’ve gone with somebody else. He has never made me feel like I'm bothering him. He put little installations on all my doors, windows, even my shed outside and my garage. So, he was here for a while. I never even saw him get anxious or anything with me. Every time he put one of those little things, I asked questions such as why something was there, what he was doing a thing for and what a thing was gonna do. Never once did I feel that he was anxious about the same question over and over. When we sat back down and he was explaining everything to me about the machine, he had to do that maybe three times because I couldn't grasp it completely. He never once said, "Geez," or anything.

    I'm getting better and better in using the system and I have nothing to complain about. I love it. It tells me when I open the door, and when I walk in and out of the doors. It reminds me that the front or back door is open. So then, I go and lock it again or leave it open, whichever, because now I feel more confident with the system. Before, I felt like I was in jail because I had to keep everything locked and always just afraid. And so with this system now, I'm a little more free with myself. It soothes my soul to where I'm not so afraid of every little noise. Even my cat likes it. When I open the door, he looks at it right away and approves. I am totally, completely and in every way satisfied. I would recommend it to every and anyone who feels they need the system. This is the one for you because it is marvelous and I would like to thank ADT from the bottom of my heart.

    I've known about ADT since I was a young girl in my teen years. I came to be a customer because I worked for the city of Ocean City, New Jersey, and they gave us these weekly discount type things through LifeSmart. I was thinking about getting cameras anyway because I had had an altercation with one of my neighbors. I happened to be kind of in the market for it. Then, I got an email about the promotion for the free security system and just paying the $99 installation and the activation of the camera. So once the technician came out, I ended up purchasing a second camera, and I'm very happy with it. My technician was very great.

    Everything with ADT has been pretty good so far. I love the fact that I can access my camera at any given time in the day no matter if I'm home or not. I love that I can access it on my phone at any time. That's very convenient. It makes me feel better because I have young teenage kids. I have a 13-year old and 11-year old that stay home right now because of school not being open. So, they do their schooling at home and I still gotta go to work. It's nice that I can check in on at least the outside of the house at any given time to make sure that there's nothing going on outside. They even come and talk to me through the cameras. It's really funny. But that's very convenient and it's a great feature.

    The only thing that I find that I'm having an issue with is I can't figure out how to shut off the notifications. I just get text messages like 1,000 times a day. But my experience has been great. The ADT guys are very courteous and knowledgeable. I called on a Tuesday and they came on a Friday and everything was set up. I like the convenience.

They said they work with retired military and critiqued everything to get everything settled. Even when the tech came out, it was great. He worked around and he told me where the best coverage would be. He explained to me about everything, including carbon monoxide, the equipment, and how the windows worked. He said, “Oh, yeah. The vibration, it’ll set it off.” Usually they put two packs in a window, and we got one that does the exact same thing. When someone opens a door when they’re not supposed to or they break the window, they’ve caught it.

    It’s great that I can add people on and take them off. It's also great that I could sit there, and if somebody’s at the door, I can look at the camera and I can also open our door. My wife has anxiety and depression as well, so if I'm leaving somewhere, she can set the alarm and she can lock the door. Last night, she said, “Oh man, I forgot to lock the door.” I said, “You forgot to lock the door?” I looked right on my phone. We were watching our show and while I was sitting there, I locked the door and set the alarm. I did everything in the comfort of my own bed.

    I've had ADT for over 20 years. I was starting to have problems setting my system so I decided to update it. I had a patio door that was on default and I called for service. The techs said the issue was with the battery. They told me they didn't supply that battery so I went out and purchased that. I replaced the batteries but still, that didn't clear the default that was showing. I was caught in limbo. Other than that, I have been satisfied with the service.

    The cost of the update was more than I thought it would be. After I compared their system to those from some of the other providers, I could've gotten what I have for half the price. Still, my ADT installer was very courteous and clean when he came to update my system. He had his mask on and followed recommendations from the CDC. I got their system with the fob. He went through the whole system including how to set and unset it. I also got the remote disarm feature and I'm able to cut my system on and off by cellphone.

    hello Alvin. Thank you for reaching out and we are sorry for the trouble you had with the battery. The back up battery normally requires some time to recharge if you purchased anew one and installed it. Afterwards any low batt trouble should clear from the keypad. If you do ever have an issue like this again we're always happy to help troubleshoot with you. -Andrew

    The home that we had that we bought about two and a half years ago had a system in it already, but we never used it. When they came out, they said that system was not functional. I've heard more about ADT than I have the other ones and we worked out a good deal, so we're happy. The system was very easy to learn. The technician did a good job of explaining it and it was a simple system to operate. I like it. The main thing that we got it for was for protection. There’s a lot that’s going on in the world today and the cameras were really important to us so that I can see the front door and back door, especially if we’re out of town. When I go to bed at night and I turn off the motion detector, I feel very secure knowing that if someone tried to get in, we’ll be notified. Also, if a fire broke out or something caught fire, we know that we got that as well.

    I had another alarm system in another home and it was okay. But ADT worked out to be cheaper. Also, I worked in banking for many years and we used ADT as our alarm company so I went with what I know. The technician that came out was very good, informative, and patient. He knew what he was doing. He also had his mask on and he had things on his shoes. The only thing was that I didn't know how long it was gonna take to set it up. I felt bad that the guy had to come back a second day to finish 'cause I had other things going on. But that was not his fault. I have the back camera and the doorbell with the camera. I've been using the smartphone app a lot too. I like that if I have stuff in the car, I can unlock the door and take off the alarm in the app before I get anywhere near the front door.

    I had ADT years ago so it was a natural progression, which was why I went with them this time. I wasn't incredibly happy because I was in the process of buying the home and I was being pushed into setting an appointment before I had even gotten to that part in my checklist. I wanted to own the home and get settled and figure out what I was gonna spend money on. They were saying that I was gonna get free equipment and I just needed to go ahead and schedule the time. It was gonna be $100. They pushed too hard as opposed to saying they would call the day after I close and schedule. They wouldn't relent and it was a "do it now" to the point where I told them I was busy and I couldn’t do it. So, it was a little too hard as a sale.

    I had some struggles with the initial guy but the salesperson who came out was patient and we took our time going over and looking at things. So, he was wonderful. I love the system. It's convenient and simple to use. The person that came out and I talked about lots of options. He listened to what I needed and wanted before he put together a system for me as opposed to trying to sell the most expensive.

    The sales team told me about the service and that the installer would come in and offer different packages and what they had to offer based on my needs. It was more of a personal interaction. The installer came and asked me what I was looking for. I told him and then I showed him an offer. He explained to me that the offer did not cover if I just wanted the movement or a certain type of sensor. I have the option of going with that offer or I can go with a better option, the one that includes both. He offered the alternative and what would be convenient for us. We chose based on the recommendations that he made and what we thought were in our best interest. They did the install on the 1st of the month but I still haven't gotten the Visa card they promised.

    We thought the doorbell camera we got was a full HD camera but it's not. It’s an HD camera, which is 720. It’s not what we call a 1080, which is a full HD camera. Our doorbell camera, that’s what I thought we were getting, but we got a 720. We did have an issue when they installed it. I called them and they fixed it. But we keep having issues with it. Plus, with the application that they're using, it gets delayed. The software that they're using with that is very poor. We had to opt in to a video package, which cost us more than $500, but we're not satisfied with them. So I’m about to give them a call today to see what they're going to do to compensate me for that because I'm getting better quality from a Wyze camera that I bought at my local computer store.

    When I get the message that there's an alert, it takes them about a good 30 seconds and by the time I got through the door, the person has already left. So if they were there to do any harm or steal something, they would have done it. It doesn't really make you feel secure if you have to leave something over if somebody’s standing there because of the delay that's happening when it syncs up with the software. So I may be better off getting one of those cameras that you install it yourself and it records. Because the doorbell camera really is not the best that they have. The interface itself is not the best. It’s overrated. I'm very dissatisfied.

    I lived with an ADT system for approximately six years with my grandparents. I like their dependability, their longevity in the marketplace, and the fact that I don't trust a damn person out there in the world. I like to hold everybody accountable that I can. Over the phone, I spoke to a very nice individual who gave me a lot of information, and we had a very pleasant conversation. Although come to find out when it came time for install, the advertisement that I called on behalf of was blatantly misleading. So it was starting at 27.99 a month. When the installer came out, he said, "Yeah, we don't even offer that. That's not even saying. The minimum is 36.99." He was trying to offer me 53 and 56.99 a month because I wanted video cameras. I said, "Well, I can't afford that right now. We'll just have to upgrade later."

    Apparently, ADT's 36.99 plan was phasing out the day that the gentleman came to my house. So he convinced his boss to let me have the 36.99. I told him, "I might have to send you on your way if I can't get it down below 40 a month. If I'm paying 50 plus a month, I can't afford it." Granted their gonna give me $3,000 worth the equipment for free versus the $1,700 that I was promised, but at the same time, that's still $53 a month. He said, "Okay, well, if I can get it to $36.99 a month, would you be able to do it?" I said, "Yeah. But I can't do it." These advertisements going through the circulars saying starting at $27.99 a month are horridly misleading.

    As far as the system, I got a glass break sensor, door sensors, shock sensors for the windows, motion detector, an outdoor siren, and then the LCD panel. The system performs well. My one complaint, if I had to have one, would be the options for the door chimes when your doors open. You gotta get garage door, front door, back door, sliding door, windows, or whatever it opens, and it lets you know what’s open when you open it. It's keeping you aware of who's going in and out of your home while it's in lock. The only other option is an audible chime. But it's not like a doorbell charm where it's like, "Ding-dong," or "Ding." It's, "Ding, ding, ding." It's like this three-second chime and it's the most obnoxious thing in the world that we've just turned it off and said, "Screw it."

    My parents had Protection One which is another subsidiary of ADT as well. Their panel is the big LCD panel and they're only paying 30 bucks a month and they've got twice the crap we do. They've also got the full-color touchscreen panel. They've got all sorts of different little chimes and beeps and dings for all the different doors in the house. I'm like, "Well, that'd be really flipping great." I'm hoping when I can afford to upgrade the system to the full touch panel and go full automation in the home that I'd be able to have those features.

    It just gets obnoxious to have just those two options and be able to just hear a ding that are distinct for each of all the doors that lead out to the exterior of the home. I'd like that because I'm an armed security officer out here in Tennessee. I like being aware of my surroundings and who's going and who's coming. I'm just one of those leary people. I'm satisfied with ADT. I feel more comfortable in the home. Being a newer homeowner, I've lived in apartments and I've had the SimpliSafe systems, and I've always had a security system wherever I've been. You can never be too careful. Knowing what's open and what's closed in your home and any sort of potential intrusion is always nice to be aware of.

    My mom had ADT. She got it shortly after our house was broken into several years ago when I was young. So ADS is pretty much is the only security system that I'm aware of and we haven't had any issues with it. The installation went pretty smoothly and the tech finished up everything in a timely manner. He came with a mask. We offered him a hand sanitizer, he took that and made sure he wasn't touching anything that he didn't need to touch. Everything has been working pretty well since the installation. I have the motion sensor in the living room and the vibration detectors for the windows along with the door sensors. I also have the lock on the front door that I can manually lock and unlock on my phone, which is pretty sweet.

    The only issue I had was that the sensor didn't line up properly when I changed the locked on my front door. But that is due to me and the previous homeowner's fault. I wasn't aware that it pretty much had tape on the back of it. I called up ADT to ask whether or not I could take it off myself without breaking anything. Shortly after that call, I pretty much came back to the house and took care of it. It has been working fine ever since. Ever since we've got the ADT system, we haven't had our house broken into.

He thoroughly explained everything and showed us the basics on how to do things and how to go in and modulate whatever we needed to for our needs. It's a lot of information but it's also not too hard to navigate once you have the basic idea. So, he did a good job getting us through that part of it. Everything is nice and clean and I didn't have any issues with that. So, it went well.

    The system is a failsafe and although we haven't been out of town, it's nice having the motion sensors camera, the doorbell motion sensor and the door lock that works there. So, you can open and lock it and set the different security things on that way if we wanna automatically lock the door when we set a certain alarm system or scene. So, that's been cool.

It wasn't until the actual person came out to our home where we began discussing the options and what I could have put into the home. The person was excellent and very professional. He did the work and got it set up. We had a small hiccup but that wasn't his fault. We just didn't have WiFi at home.

The ADT sales representative was great. He was also the one that did the installation.

    ADT's reps are friendly and the installers were cool. They were good people. The only thing is I have a lot of trouble when I get an alert if the cameras detect motion. It takes at least about two minutes to get the camera to show on my phone. By that time, they're already out of the camera. I have the app on my phone, but I hardly get on it because it's kind of pointless to me for the cameras when I get an alert that somebody is at my door, but by the time I can finally see it, they're already gone. Other than that, the system is good because as soon as I opened the door, I get an alert on my phone. If somebody disarms the alarm, I get a notification alert on my phone.

    I found ADT online and the installation went well. The rep was nice. A week ago, the alarm went off. We were out of town and my father-in-law came. He didn't know there was a sensor in the garage. So, they called and I was able to verify that it was him. I'm happy with the service and I look forward to having it for quite a while.

    I never had an alarm system, so I didn't know what to expect. When it said that I had $1,900 of free equipment, that's what really won me over. However, when I had the $1,900 of stuff I had to choose from, my whole house still isn’t totally safe 'cause I couldn't get what I wanted without it being over-the-top as far as pricing. I didn't feel like the stuff was worth what ADT was saying it was gonna cost to have in the house. The equipment price is what turned me off right then. I felt like I was misled on their behalf. The installation went okay. The installer was very knowledgeable and he had a mask on. As soon as he left, one of the things popped out. I put it on, but I haven't set the alarm yet. Nobody called me and I couldn’t run this.

She said that they show up quick and if there was an alarm that went off, she never had a problem. I checked with a couple of other companies but decided to get something that I’m used to. Set up was okay, but there were a couple of things missing. We found out that we need a door camera and a motion on the inside. Then, they charged my wife when I thought I paid for everything.

    ADT was a better way to go among the three estimates that I had. Then the guy came and he put the two cameras in. I wanted one in the front and the other one in the back. But my cameras aren't working. The gigabytes are not right on my computer and he did not say a word to me about it. He just went around and put them in. I didn't even know he was in my bedroom until I walked back and seen it was on the window. He was from a firm that sells ADT products and they come out and put the system in. Then instead of calling them for something, he never gave me telephone numbers. The number I had was to ADT.

    I wanted a third camera and the repair guy from ADT came out and he was telling me that I had no gigabytes to put with the cameras. He was also trying to figure out how the first guy put the two cameras with the small gigabytes I had. I like the repair guy much better and he knows what he's doing. He explained more to me about the system and he explained what I could do and what I couldn't do. He was very thorough about what he was telling me. I would love this guy to go give a speech to anybody that wants ADT. He was so good to me and he talked to me right straight through. He checked everything out on the system.

    The second repair guy said that I would have to get more gigabytes and told me how to do it. But I talked to another person that was strong in this and she said that was a bunch of hell. So I don't know what I have to do now to get more gigabytes. Now I'm wondering if the two gigabytes are gonna bring up both cameras or ADT has to come out and do something to them. I was very dissatisfied with the person that put it in. But I would recommend ADT only if I got them to put one camera in.

    We were shopping online and we told ADT that we wanted to get a quote or estimate. They called us back quickly to talk through their offers and specials. When they called us back, it was what I would call a typical 800 sales call center. It felt strange where I said what were gonna need and they said they could do it. That felt a little awkward because it felt like a typical sales type thing. Also, we kept asking over and over again how much is the monthly monitoring and the guy said it's 27.99. He told us a couple of times because we were pricing out some other competitors and they were around the $30 mark. Then, there was a $99 fee for them to come out, but we would get that money back if we decided not to go with ADT and if we did, we'd get a Visa card. That was very transparent.

    When the installer, Shady, came out, he didn't have any of the information we gave the rep on the phone. The other thing that I thought was a huge disconnect was he never said anything about this $300 installation fee. My partner and I were actually kinda pissed off. We said we weren't gonna go with them. The other thing that was almost a deal breaker for us was we told the 800 guy we want one of those video doorbells and he said that's included in the package. He never told us, though, that the monitoring would be over $50, so we were really pissed off.

    But Shady had some really good service recovery. He tried calling his local supervisor or manager. He said he's gonna give us the first two months free of monitoring, which I just got credited back on my credit card. Then starting October 4th, he did an actual paper contract that goes into play on October 5th where our price is gonna be is 27.99. He was a great guy. He was caught in the middle and he was trying to make us happy. If it weren't for Shady, we would not have gone with ADT.

    We got installed around the 6th. We have one of those portable monitors. We have one attached to our wall and the other in the garage. But we have another monitor that's portable that we're having troubles with. It keeps saying it's looking for a signal and trying to pair, so I tried rebooting it. It was up on our third-floor bedroom and I brought it down to the kitchen in the first floor because I thought maybe it's too far away but there's something wrong with that monitor. I just sent a text to my installer saying there's something wrong with it.

    The representative I spoke with was very professional, and it looked like ADT had a good track record from ratings. The guy who installed the system was informative, and he helped me walk through everything and explained everything to me. Everything was set up good. All the windows on the first floor are all secure. They have the little sensors on them, the doors, and the different stay and home-away modes, I like it. There's the motion detector if we're not home too. We have a cat that is staying in the house and the guy explained to me how if we ever get a bigger animal, they have a different sensor for it so the cat doesn't set it off. The best part about ADT is the smartphone app. I use it all the time, usually when I'm setting it at night or when I'm leaving in the morning.

He tried to upgrade my stuff that I had already talked with about the other guy. We talked about cameras. He said it's an upgrade, which in my opinion was not an upgrade because we had a conversation verbally about certain things that were gonna be included in my home package. I don't believe that they should come and say everything's an upgrade. What they tell you on the phone should be what they deliver and not make it an upgrade when they arrive. It was my understanding my ring doorbell was gonna be included in my package, come to find out it's $300 more. I was a little upset.

    I had ADT once before in my other home and I was happy with this, so I went back. The only thing that stands out to me is that the young man that I talked to who was absolutely wonderful. I explained my situation. It's pretty scary right now. I'm disabled and I'm on Social Security, so I didn't have much money in my pocket. So, he helped me out. My down payment was $105. I was traveling down to Alabama to see my granddaughter, and I took it out as about some of my last paycheck from my job. 'Cause I retired in June. Because of the situation, he hit us right at the right time where we needed some security in the house, and so I took it.

    However, he didn't tell me that once he got to the house, I was gonna have to pay additional money, so I didn't leave any money here. When I got off the plane in Alabama, my granddaughter was hysterical on the phone saying, "You didn't leave any money for us to pay him." I said, "I already paid it." The guy got on the phone, and he said, "No. You didn't.” I said, “But I did.” I said, "The guy I talked to told me it was $105 and that was it." He said, "No. You have to pay for the installation." That was a little bit disconcerting because that wasn't what I was told when I got it. Although he did help me out with the key fobs. That was wonderful.

    But I also was told that I would get help if I'd fallen and I can't get up, which really is what I need because I fall all the time. I have a brain tumor and I have chronic vertigo, and I'm constantly in the hospital, so I need that. But I didn't get that. I didn't pay enough money for my thing, apparently. I'm not dissatisfied with ADT. I'm disappointed because, the gentleman who helped me get the package was wonderful, but he misled me. Another thing, when I had it at my old house, they had given me a sign to put in my front yard. We've got a scary situation going here and I didn't get any signs.

    From the first day, when I received the paperwork at home, there was a number that was said to call, so I called that. Based on the subscription that came on the paperwork, everything included, was like 27.99 a month. I spoke with this guy who took my card information, $100 registration fee from my understanding. Then he said a technician’s gonna come to my house to install the equipment. We settled that and then the technician came. I was in the middle of working. As he was about to get ready to install things, he said that my monthly payment would be 59.99. I told him to hold on and not install anything and that it was not what I was told over the phone. I also said that I have the paperwork they sent me in the mail. The good thing is, when I call, it was through my work call, so all the conversation is recorded when I spoke with the guy over the phone.

    He said that he would call his manager and he stepped out. Then he came back and told me that the manager said they could do it for 36.99 but they couldn't put the camera. My whole entire point is the camera because of the area where I live. I don't need window sensors and door sensors. He made another call and came back again saying that the manager wanted to refund me $140 so I could buy my own camera then they would refund $100 for the Visa card that was on the contract on the paperwork that they sent me. I told him to go ahead and do it.

    Now, I'm calling back and following up in both of them. They're pretty much fleeing. They don’t know what I'm talking about, all this craziness. It's been five days already that I'm in back and forth with them on the phone. Today, I was on the phone with them for an hour and a half, and I was transferred to seven different persons. I haven't even had the system for a month and it's been chaos. I finally told them that I needed them to cancel the contract. I don't wanna do any business with them. They're telling me that I have to pay a $1,000 fee, which I don't think so because I have the phone recorded, and I have the paper they sent me in the mail. So, I'm more than happy to take them to court if that's how we have to get this done. They're not reliable. They have no communication skills. Their customer service is awful.

Then I keep getting a message that my doorbell battery is low, and then I'll get another message saying it's recharged. The person on the phone said that something was not connecting so they're sending somebody out. They were supposed to come today, but I had to reschedule 'cause I had something to do.

    All in all, I'm not used to the system. It's not as accessible as what we had, so I gotta get used to that. I should probably do a little bit more research because I'd like to be able to go back yesterday at 4 o'clock and see what happened. The installer showed us how to go back and look, but at that time, we didn't have the previous day's images on my phone. Maybe I could do it on the computer, but on my phone, I could barely go back all day long. I guess the record stills or something. It may be something that I'm just not seeing yet how to do.

    It’s been a nightmare with ADT. I called in and ordered the system, and I called in a couple times to talk to them. I had a guy come out. He was gonna write me a quote and he never did. I called him several times and he never returned my phone calls. So, I just finally booked ADT to come out after we sat down. I talked to a gal on the phone and we went over pricing, the system and the options. I knew what I wanted because my house was being built. She quoted me everything. I left for my office and the guy got there that day to do the install. I was trying to do work from home, which just got done being constructed, while he was working. He was going over everything and I was not paying a ton of attention to everything. It turned out that the price that they quoted me on the phone was half the price of what they quoted me for when he actually got there.

    ADT quoted me $50 for the key fob and he charged me 130 bucks for it. He overcharged me every item that I had installed and then, there were other items that I wanted. But at that point, I was so confused as to why the price was so much higher. I couldn't figure it out. So, I didn't get everything I wanted. The very next day, the camera stopped working. When the guy was there, he told me that if I had any issues, call him and he would come out and take care of it. He gave his cell phone number. So, I called him up and he came out. He said there must be some issue. Even though he was within five feet of my router, the camera was not working. So, he put a booster in there and said that it was all good and that I’m working again.

    I got my paperwork and I was comparing apples to apples for my pricing. I called him up and asked what was going on with his pricing. He said that I'm an idiot and hung up on me and then blocked my phone number. I called ADT. They said they were gonna give me a credit. They gave me $250 off when they overcharged me by $1,300 dollars. But that's okay. I'm done with ADT. I want out of the system. Since that time, I've been on the phone with ADT 28 times. I spent 14 hours calling and on hold waiting. On top of that, I've had their service tech back out there another time because the camera quit working again. I went ahead and called and scheduled to have the other equipment that I wanted set up and added on to my system.

    I wanted the door lock, the thermostat, the smoke detector and the water sensor added in. If I had to pay for them, I had to. They said they were gonna take care of them. They were not gonna raise my rates and they were gonna give those to me for free. Then they sent me the paperwork on it and there were all these install charges. I was told that Nebraska law requires that I have a locksmith come out there and do the lock. First of all, I'm not in the city limits of Omaha, which Omaha doesn't have that requirement. I'm rural Sarpy County, so there's no city ordinance that they're trying to tell me that covers it. On top of that, Nebraska does not have a law where you have to have a lock installed by a locksmith. I'm a criminal defense attorney. So, I might understand the law in the State of Nebraska just a hair better.

    I've been told I was an idiot by several of their staff members there and that I didn't know what I was talking about even though I practice law in the State of Nebraska and they don't. So, I finally said that I didn't want the lock. I just want everything else because I was not gonna pay a locksmith to come out here to do a lock. I talked to their service tech when he was out doing the second repair on my camera. He showed me exactly what the lock was. So, I went and bought one and installed it myself. It's already in. It was a simple process and it took me all about 17 minutes including opening the box and throwing away the garbage, which they wanted to charge me over $100 for. I rekeyed it myself too. We've been on the phone and the phone rang less time than it took me to rekey that lock. I'm still waiting on this second install on those other three items because the soonest they could schedule me was next month.

    When I got onto my ADT today, it said that my two control panels are gonna be taken out of service here. They're out of service and they're telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about. There are excuses all the time. I've been transferred back and forth between the two ADTs, North and South, that are both ADT so many times. It's ridiculous. Add on that I still have issues with the camera. It works sometimes but most of the time, it doesn't work.

    I've had horrible customer service. This is my third time of having them out there and if this camera doesn't work, I'm canceling my service under the six-month guarantee. I had told everybody and their grandmother to avoid ADT. This has been by far the worst experience of my life with a security company. I will hire CPI and pay them twice as much money to come out and install a CPI security system in my house before I ever consider ADT again. I’m on a bunch of veteran’s groups and veteran’s sites and ADT is highly recommended on all those sites. I am tearing ADT down on every one of those groups and sites that I'm a member of.

He was very good about things and helped us out as far as making sure everything worked, so we liked him. I spent 32 years as a nuclear inspector, and he new stuff, so that was good.

    But we were supposed to get a $100 prepaid MasterCard that we've never received. Also, we were told that had a free system. But when the guy showed up, he said that that only counts for nine items and since I have many windows and doors, the system really wasn't free. To me, it was a bit deceptive. If you're going to tell somebody that they got a free system for their house, you should make it free for the house. We ended up paying $2300 beyond the free part, which they said was $900. So it went from free to $2300 which, irritated the hell out of me. Despite that, the security system is fine. I got it for when I'm not home and I'm traveling. It's for my wife, to give her some sense of security, and the idea is to keep people outside. And the longer I can keep them out or the sooner I know that they're coming in, the better off I can be.

When we came up here, moved to Virginia, I decided to go with ADT because it seemed reliable. They are rated number one the last time I checked. ADT has very good customer service and good sales.

    The sales rep from ADT was great. He had a lot of information and answered all my questions. The installation was quick and the installers were clean. Also, they wore their masks. The camera doesn't work though. I had two people come out here twice and it worked while they were here. A day or two later, it stopped working again. The first time, the camera wasn’t connected to the internet extender. So, they did that and it worked for a couple of days. It stopped again and the rep came out here again and reconnected it. I'm sick of calling and I’m very dissatisfied. It was a horrible experience.

    I used to have ADT before. Then I've seen an advertisement for huge savings for veterans so I called. There was some confusion when I first talked to the salespeople. The manager, Joe, said the $850 I would get for the promotion, and being a returning ADT customer, I was gonna get a total of $1,300-some worth of equipment for free and I only ended up getting $1,100-some. They said I had a $39 credit yet that I didn't use, which I didn't argue it because I tried to explain to them. The only thing they would give me was $1,100. I just felt like I was lied to on the sales side or they didn't know how much I was supposed to get.

    The other thing I thought should've happened is when the installer was here. I did not get a copy of any of the paperwork and when I tried to fill out the $100 rebate card, which I still haven't been able to do, 'cause they didn't send the follow-up email on it. I didn't have my account number or any of that information so it took me three and a half hours of going through that robocall system to try to get ahold of somebody who could help. I finally got it taken care of, but I should've had that information from the get-go either via email or a written copy. Nonetheless, the installer was very knowledgeable and efficient. He also had on his facemask and gloves the whole time he was here. The features I got were the motion detectors in two rooms, two door alarms, and a breaking glass detector.

    ADT's sales rep have all been very polite and tried to accommodate me. The installation was okay, too. But the system is still not working and their reps have been out here several times. The first time, there was a big mix up, so the tech left and only set up the two little door sensors. When he came back, he didn't show up until Friday afternoon and told me that he was running late, then I wanted to reschedule. I rescheduled for that Tuesday, so when they didn't show up at five o'clock on Tuesday, I called and they said it was a closed ticket. But I didn't have a camera at this point. We rescheduled again then I had somebody else come out here. Different people were in our house like until 10 o'clock at night and it still did not work.

    So they left and the front camera still was not working. I had somebody come back out here and this was somebody from corporate. He changed it out and it worked for two seconds. As soon as he drove off, the camera stopped working again. He then came back, changed out the camera, and put a new one up. It worked while he was standing here with his computer and when I got back on it the following morning, it was out again saying they were not connected. So in the process of all this, I still don't have my doorbell camera and my doorbell is screwed up, sounds like it's got a short in it.

    Dealing with them has been frustrating and at this point, I want to know if they're not going to be able to fix it and how to get out of that 36-month contract. Also, they told me that it would only cost between 27 and 57. So before I even had anything hooked up, they had a $67 charge come out of my account for ADT that I did not have yet. Then, I was told that it was going to be nothing out of pocket the day they came and I had to pay $400. And they didn't even install it day that I had to pay them for that. Then they said that my internet service wasn't good enough, so I've called twice and had my internet service up, which also raised that bill $50 because that's what they told me was wrong. But it's still not working and I'm $50 more in the whole.

    Before I had ADT on my old house, I had Vivint and their prices were really high and ADT was a little cheaper. They had very good customer service, too. I wish I got more features than what I got, but the features that I really want were too much for me to be able to afford plus put down a deposit. I can't get the full deal of the system because being it is a new house area, the internet service that we are only allowed to get at this moment is really not good. So, a lot of my stuff is failing. If I try to go on the camera when I'm away from home and look on the outside to make sure, I'm not getting any signals around here. At this point, I'm thinking about canceling it for now until I can see a better internet service out here. Other than that, I already know what situation I get them on. When the internet does want to kick in, my system works perfectly fine.

    The system worked yesterday because my niece had grabbed my little panic controller and I didn't even know she had it and she hit it. The thing started going off. Then ADT called and I couldn't really remember the code. Then, as I talked to him, the sheriff pulled up. He wanted to see ID. It’s just safety precautions. I was like, “I get it. because if it was really an emergency, at least I know y'all gonna come.” They really came. It wasn't even five minutes. When I was with Vivint, it happened a lot of times. I have a house full of kids and if the alarm would go off, “Okay, state your name, blah blah.” But the police never came. But with ADT, they came yesterday.

    I purchased a home so I decided to purchase home security. The first interaction with ADT wasn't good. I asked questions and the woman that I was speaking with didn't wanna answer any questions. She would brush off my questions and she was more concerned about getting the fee and the installation set up. I kept asking her questions because I've spoken with someone else and was trying to compare equipment and why were they giving me something that other companies weren't offering.

    She just was not forthcoming and was not straightforward. It didn't feel like it was a good situation. She at one point just transferred me off to the automated system to collect the payment for the installation. The call wasn't working. At that point, I was agitated and I just hung up. But they called back and they followed up and everything was fine from that point on.

    They had offered a credit. At that point, I wasn't really sold on it. Because I was like, "If they don't follow through, then my first impression was accurate." So I had a meeting with someone else prior to them coming out. It was already scheduled at that point in time. But I ended up going with ADT because of the sales representative that came out. He was very straightforward and knowledgeable.

    The rep was wonderful. There was no nonsense about him. There was no, "I'm just trying to sell you this because whatever," like the first conversation. He took the time to explain things. He listened and wasn't pushy. He didn't say bad things about the other company like the previous representative that had come out earlier in the week, from the other company that I was speaking with. One thing I like with ADT is the app, the ability to set my alarm when I'm away from home, or to turn it off from my phone. That is wonderful.

    ADT sounded like a good deal. The representative was a really cool guy. He was the one that came in and installed everything. I paid $1,600 for my system and he told me all the devices were absolutely free, and all I paid for was the monthly and just the installation fee, which turned out to be a complete lie. Come to find out that’s something that they usually do just to get people on board, which I think is pretty bad, but it is what it is.

    The guy that came to install it walked me through how to handle it, how to change stuff, and how to explain it in easier terms to my wife, ‘cause she wasn't there at the time of install. He hooked it up. It was very easy and simple, but smart at the same time. I'm happy with what I have. It works great and I love being able to control it from my phone. I just think that the original way that it was given was a little bit skewed from what it really was.

    The ADT guy over the phone was good but a little misleading. He said that the system was just $99. Then when a rep gets here, he said that we had to get other stuff and it was $600 and 60 bucks a month for three years. It was quite a big difference from what the guy was saying over the phone. My wife said that the guy who came out made it seem like the $99 package was not really worth getting for the protection that we wanted. We got four doors and a motion sensor and a camera for 600 bucks and 60 bucks a month to monitor one camera. Those seem like an awful lot. I wanted to get the camera that would go outside. But the guy said that it was an extra $200.

    I wish the guy would have been more honest and told us that we didn't need the touchscreen since we could do it all on our phone. He was just trying to make the sale and make some money. He sold us stuff that we didn't really need at the time 'cause we were new to this so we didn't know. We've had the system for a couple of weeks now and we've realized that we have never touched the touchscreen thing. Every time we turn the system on or turn it off, we use our phones, every time. At night time, we could turn the brightness down. So we should have just gotten the regular keyboard and probably saved ourselves some money instead of getting the fancy-schmancy touchscreen. We probably could have gotten a regular touchscreen and maybe another camera or something like that instead of this fancy touchscreen that we never even use.

    After the whole system was installed, I literally went out and bought one of those Ring doorbells so I could have a camera outside. Now, I went and bought spotlights, motion detectors and I put all these stuff myself. Then the Ring doorbell through the Wi-Fi I already have so that's not costing me anything to monitor. It records everything. The people from ADT are very nice. But I almost felt like this was a waste of money. I like having the security and I do feel safer with the system. But the Ring doorbell doesn't notify the police or anything like that. So that's one feature that I can't take away from ADT. ADT also has all my doors covered. But because of the age of my house, they couldn't put anything on the windows 'cause I got the old school crank out windows in my house. If I could change anything, it would be to get rid of that touchscreen thing, give me the regular panel and put another camera outside.

    I was a former customer of ADT at a different house. I was with them for 10 years then with a rival company for four years and now, we're back with ADT again. The salesperson did an excellent job of telling me what was available and how much it was gonna cost. That person helped me choose what was appropriate. I was very happy with that. The customer service has also been good.

    But we had some problems with the installation. We ended up having to have a manager come out to finish up the installation because the installers found something that they had never found before. It had to do with the front door handle and they couldn't get it to work. The poor guy spent a lot of hours here into the evenings. It was two nights and I had to put a stop to it because he wasn't solving the problem.

    The manager came around and I said, “I don't want you troubleshooting here. Why don't you go away and solve the problem and then come back and install the front door handle?” Unfortunately, they couldn't solve it so I don't have the door handle. That was a disappointment and we're still with keys. I'm not a technician or an engineer, but I believe it has something to do with interaction with Spectrum and incompatibility with the WiFi system. Also, we still have a couple of things unresolved. But I'm confident that we'll get it worked out.

    It's a great idea that ADT has moved into the smart home business because that's where a lot of people are interested in. I'm very happy about that. But the education of the client, like of me, needs to be a little stronger. The practice is to install it and goodbye. I need some reinforcement. If they tell me once, maybe they have to tell me twice. Maybe the installer has the job of installing and the next day, someone comes around and tells the client, “This is how to use it.”

Then, the installers were very thorough and they knew what they were doing. They explained everything in a way that I can understand. It’s just I’m a senior and even though they gave me a real good deal, it’s still kinda high. I thought I was gonna be in the $30 to $40 range but I’m in the $50 something range. But it’s worth it. And they worked with me being an elder on a fixed income to make it more affordable. Right now, it’s not stressing me financially too much but at some point, I don’t know if I have to revisit it.

    The system is a little too sensitive but other than that, it’s good. Anything that happens, they send a text or an email to let me know that there’s this movement or the alarm has been changed from arm to disarm or whatever. It’s doing its job. I use the phone feature mostly, with arm and disarm and all that. I just have to pay attention to remember to disarm when I come in the house. One time, I forgot and sirens and stuff went off.

    I've heard about ADT a lot so I decided to try it. The sales representative was very professional. He explained the unit to me. He gave me the best advice. They went and evaluated the house and just mailed the package out. He had a person he was training and he let the guy do it. And what the guy didn't know, then he trained him to do it. He seemed like a very patient person so I thought that experience was very good.

    The main difficulty that I'm having is logging on to the website and checking up my account. I can't get into it, so I never set that up. Then every time I open the door, the alarm goes off. If I go out the door, it disarms itself and I don't do anything. But when I come in and shut the door, it arms back up. That's the part I don't like because if I'm in here all day, if I have to run back out again, I constantly gotta run over to the panel and disarm myself and that's a little annoying. If I'm not here, and if someone is here, the alarm sensor will go off. Maybe it's me or I can go out without doing that. I like the idea that it alarms itself at night in case I forget.

    We were moving in and we got all these phone calls. The person needed to let us know that we needed internet if we wanna add cameras. But because of what's going on in the economy, I had to do an extended installation. At the time of the service, which was the first week of September, it was very hard for me to get an internet servicer out to my home within seven days because they were backed up with everyone doing remote learning and people working at home.

    As a new homeowner, I had to have everything is covered. I had to get a prepaid internet service, which I thought would suffice enough and it would hold me. I have a camera service that does live streaming but it's not downloading anything. It only works in the front of the house but not the rear. I was told, "You got $850 in credit. Let's run your credit. Oh, you got another 550." That's $1,400 in credit. I paid an extra $300 out of pocket for two cameras and only one works. Granted that the internet service is not the best but I was never told that if I wanted cameras, I should have to have internet. Instead I was told, "We're better than all the competitors because we use satellite. Everything’s satellite."

    When the technician got here, he said, "Yeah, not the cameras." I feel like I wasted $300 on something that I'm not really using. Somebody's gonna have to come back out once I get a better quality of internet and renew all this again. Now, I have the prepaid internet. I'm still waiting for somebody to come and install something with more megabytes or whatever download data. I am not yet able to really enjoy the camera service.

    The installer did what he was able to do but he said that I should have been told that I needed internet. He would have to come back out. And with the coronavirus and everything going on, it's tedious to have somebody keep coming back. I've already allocated time in my schedule just as the individual allocated time in theirs. With the extended installation, it has to get done within seven days. They should’ve been able to extend that for me. It's common courtesy.

    I also lost $80 in credit. I wanted to get additional sensor upstairs. But because I didn't get it done during the first installation, which was the 3rd of September, I said I wanted to get it done within seven days. I had to pay out of pocket to get another sensor when I had credit leftover. I have a service and I'm not really using it to its ability. And I'm paying $69. There's a live feed but there's nothing being recorded and I can't play the app. Somebody cut my grass and I can't even look on the camera to see who did it to thank that neighbor. I really wanted a doorbell too but I wasn't able to get one.

    Also, there was a document that I'm supposed to show to the home warranty insurance company and I get a discount. That was a perk. A lot of my neighbors have Xfinity and Vantage, which is the one with the orange going around the house. None of them were saying, "If you show this supporting document, you can give it to your homeowner's insurance to get a discount." I reached out to my homeowner's insurance and I was told of what document that was. But I don't have that. I would appreciate it if ADT could email or mail that to me.

    ADT has been around for a while. I was considering it, and I looked at some options like SimpliSafe. One of ADT's guys had called me and I wasn’t ready. I told her to go ahead and send somebody out. The rep I dealt with on the phone was very good and helpful. I pretty much knew what I wanted, and I told them. The installer was wonderful. He was very informative and he wasn’t high pressure. He did not pressure me in doing anything I didn’t wanna do. So, “This is what I need. What do you think about this? What do you think about that?” He was very helpful and knew exactly what he was doing and what he was talking about.

    There are certain areas that I was more concerned about than others. He went along with helping me secure the things that I really was concerned about and getting the other parts to where they’re protected but not quite as the other ones are. I haven’t had any issues since the time he showed me how to use the system. It’s very simple to use. I’m more at ease. I can sleep better at night. I have a mother here that has brain injury. This thing tells me when my door’s opened. I don’t have to have visual eyes on her 24/7. I can be in the back making the bed, and she can be sitting at the kitchen table, and I ain’t got to worry she’s jetting out the door.

    When I first chose ADT, I had a paper that came in the mail saying that I could get ADT for the price of 27.99 and I'd get a free 100 gift card. It was a good plan and I could meet that plan because I don't work and I just get Social Security. But when the guy came out and put the stuff up, he said that that wasn't the plan that they had installed in me. He did the $57.99 plan and I took it because I wanted ADT coverage and I wanted them to protect my home.

    We're way out and I did need some coverage. I've also heard that it's a good company and I've had it a long time ago. I just had to get out of it one time because I couldn't afford it. So I'm trying to be back in it and hopefully, that I can be able to keep it up this time with this amount of 57.99. Other than that, the guy that came and did the installation was really wonderful. He explained things to me really well and told me what I could get as well as what I couldn't get. I tried to call back to lower my plan but in order to lower my plan, they said I had to take the phone thing off.

    We were applying to get ADT as it was and then when I was calling Spectrum, they said that they had a partnership with ADT. The representative on the phone was very nice and polite, but I wasn't happy with him. I asked him numerous times if this was direct ADT, and he assured me many times that it was. I didn't want a third party. I wanted direct corporate ADT. When the tech came, it was awkward and uncomfortable for both of us because they weren't ADT. He was from Protect Your Home, which we ended up getting anyways because we were in a rush. I did not appreciate being lied to, but other than that, I haven't had issues yet so far. From what I know, in three months, then we get transferred to ADT entirely, so that makes me feel better. All in all, I feel safer with the system. I have two small children, which was why we were rushing to get it.

    We needed a little more security within our home. We have two detached garages for two cars and we had been broken into years ago. So, I thought the security system might be another safety for us and that if someone did go in that back door again, it would set off an alarm. I let ADT's advertising sway my decision to go with them. During the sales process, the rep went through things very hurriedly and threw a lot at us in bulk, so I really didn't comprehend everything he said. But I thought at the time I was getting a basic understanding. The one thing I should’ve requested was that I need to see my full contract matches a couple of sheets of it.

    He persuaded us to go with some motion detectors in the garages, thinking if someone went in, it would work that way. They’re more expensive and it wasn't a good idea because if a bird gets in there, it sets it off, and it's very common when you open your overhead door to drive your car. So that wasn't a good choice for us. As far as their initial informative meeting with any client, they should have told them there are some drawbacks that if you do put it in the garage and if a bird or squirrel got in and start moving around, it would set it off for you in the middle of the night. So we had them taken out and put in just the door sensors.

    I thought we were all set but the system only worked first three days. The alarm went off on one of the garage doors and the panel box indicated, "Garage 2, door number.” That's the back garage door of this garage but there was nothing there. The panel box does not have the ability to go that many feet out and that's why it wasn't communicating, then it would communicate. They call it just an event. So we ended up taking them off the back doors and just having them on the front walk to the door in the garages.

    We've had the tech here three times with some issues. My fee was supposed to be around 26.99 a month. But for an additional $10, I would waive all those tech calls. But my first bill was an extra $50. I called them about it and they said, "Well, every time the tech comes, and they've been there twice now, there's a $25 fee." I told the rep that was not fair. I haven't even had the service in 20 days and I've had two calls. I fought and they told me that they would waive the two fees because I was under 90 days. Lo and behold on Saturday, we had to have someone here again with a problem and that's gonna be another $25 charge that I'll have to fight when I get my bill.

    I got my bill yesterday and it was $32 extra. So I called and they told me it was because I didn't pay all of it last month because of the two tech calls. I had to fight that battle again. I did tell the rep point blank that going with ADT was a bad choice. I wish I’d never done it. I wish I'd just gotten another dog. But the service now is working, and we've been okay since Saturday. It hasn't gone off. So we'll just see how it goes for the next 10 or 20 days. Hopefully, we're okay and everything's fixed finally.

    I had ADT a few years ago and I canceled it, and then I came back. The sales agent was very professional. He explained everything to me and didn't leave anything out. There wasn't anything hidden. Because of my history with ADT, the manager described me as a premier customer so he was able to get me some promotions. He was able to give me a little discount on some of the camera work. So far, the system is good. As of right now with the cameras, I can record people that come, unwanted people, or any kind of intrusion and it gives me that little extra sense of security.

The initial plan wasn’t kinda like where I wanted to go, but then, we worked it. He met me halfway with getting me what I needed, and then also keeping me within the price that I wanted as well where I found a happy medium.

    The tech set the system up and he went through it with me, and then he snowed how to download the app and log in. He kinda quizzed my wife and I on the spot. It was pretty good.

When I called inquiring about it, questioning what happened, the girl put me on hold and told me she would text him. I was on hold for almost an hour, till I hung up. But then the people I talked to after that were a little better. At the time I canceled it.

    Someone said to call somebody else to see if they could redo it so that’s what I did. I called back and the representative set it up again. Still same issue with the system, but it wasn’t the way it went with the last woman than the first. I was notified prior to the second contractor getting there and once he got there, everything was done and made sure that everyone was safe in the house. He did a wonderful job. He corrected a lot of issues that the first contractor did to get the system up and running and stop waking me up at 4 o'clock in the morning, alarming every hour or two. He showed what had already been done before and made sure that we understood what was going on.

    ADT has a very good name and they’ve been around forever. I received a mailer that said that for 27.99 a month, I could have a service. I presently had Brinks and I was paying $41 a month. I'm 70 years old and my wife and I were on a fixed income. So, at $15 a month, that's almost $200 a year. We figured we'd go ahead and give ADT a call. When I called the operator, I explained to her that we had a system in and it was working great but we were looking to getting a $15 lower payment a month. She said okay and that they would come out. We have 17 door sensors, three motion sensors and two glass breaks. She said that if there was a problem with anything, they would swap it out. I told her to go ahead and send somebody out.

    ADT called and set the appointment up for September 3rd. Shane, the guy who came out, was from Protect Your Home. I didn't realize that Protect Your Home and ADT were partners. I looked at the mailer and I saw ADT on there but then on the side, it said Protect Your Home. Shane came in and he was a young-looking guy. I asked him if he had been with the company long. He said he has been with them for almost three months. I said, "Oh boy." He tried to get everything set up. He got the sensors on but couldn't get the whole system going. He was here for a little over four hours and he said he had to go to another place. He had another appointment scheduled and he asked if could he come back. I said yes.

    Shane came back on the 8th and he was trying to call in. He said he needed to get a signal from somewhere and he couldn't get through. He sat on the couch and he would call for so long and then they would disconnect. Then he would call again. After four hours, I told him that maybe he could come back. He said yes and that he would have to find out when he could come back. I said okay and just to make it soon because my system was down while he got his here and waiting to hook it up. He came back on the 10th. He was here for about four hours and he could not get it going again. He had all the sensors working but he was having trouble with the motion sensor and the glass break. The piece that he had to initiate the glass break wasn't loud enough. It didn't seem like it was as loud as the one that brings you. He said this was the first time that he was doing one that was already installed and he was just putting in the keypad.

    After about five hours, I said that he was not able to get it and the mailer says that after six months, if they couldn't get it working correctly, I could get all my money back and they take their system. He disconnected it from the wall, took the two keypads, went out the door and went out to the driveway out to his car. I was watching him through the window. He made a phone call. He turned around and came back to the door and rang the doorbell. I opened up the door and he handed me the keypad and two key fobs. I asked what it was and he didn't say a word. He turned around, walked back to his car and left. I put the keypad on a chair and waited. I figured they were gonna go ahead and send out a manager. They didn't.

    I got my bank statement and it showed that they took money out. I called ADT about it and they said that I was in the system. I said that I couldn’t be. The guy never hooked it up. I said that I never had the service and they said that I had it. I said that I do not have service and they could send anybody out here they want to. If I had the service, that would have been great. I could have saved a lot of money. The 27.99 wasn't correct. It was 36 something because you have to get QSP so that if there are any problems, the service tech will come out to your house and there's no charge on it.

    I've called 25 different places and talked to all of these different people. I got the names written down. I would call up and talk to people, and the line would go dead and nobody would follow up. They never give you the last name. They said they're not allowed. I understand but I kept calling and nobody could help me nor could do anything about it. They said that if they disconnect the service, I would owe for 36 months. I don't know this Protect Your Home and that's obviously where the guy was from. I traced them down to Pittsburgh, which is about 60 miles from here.

    A guy named Nick is the manager and that must be who he spoke to and to go ahead and turn around and bring that keypad back in to me. He's apparently in right outside of Pittsburgh, a place called Green Tree. I was gonna go back down there, maybe take a sign and say that the only time I was robbed, I was robbed by Protect Your Home ADT. I've never been robbed except for sticking a home security system in. It's the worst experience I have ever had with any company. It's so surprising because ADT is a very reputable name. I don't know this Protect Your Home and that's what the guy had on his shirt. So that's obviously where he's from. It's still Protect Your Home ADT Defender. They should be able to go ahead and get ahold of Nick and find out what's going on there.

    My brother-in-law is an attorney in Pittsburgh and I'm about to go ahead and get ahold of him and see what can be done and call Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General. I'm a senior citizen and they figured they could rip this guy off and he would just go ahead and pay. It's supposed to be a home security system and they're robbing me. I'm gonna be contacting the Better Business Bureau. I'll be doing whatever I can but I'd like to see it handled before it got to that point. I’m extremely dissatisfied.

The guys that came over here were great. However, I called and I had this ADT coupon thing that was in the mail and it said that all of this stuff was included, an outdoor camera and an indoor one. Even when I called the guy, he said all of my windows and doors would be covered at no extra cost. There were two additional window things that I needed so he did that.

    In the coupon, it said that it also came with two motion detectors which I know to be true because when I had ADT before, I got the smoke alarm, the carbon monoxide detector, and two motion detectors. I didn't have any camera but I had all of my windows and doors taken care of. But when the gentlemen came here, they said that I didn't have enough credits on my account to get the motion detectors which I thought was odd. The only thing I got different was the outdoor camera but they said it was $250 extra.

    I like the warranty and the product but I feel like the advertising is misleading. I was not happy with that but I know it's not their fault. They don't make the prices or do anything like that. I even talked to my husband and said, “I don't know if I wanna go through the hassle of canceling it and dealing with it because I feel like it's just gonna be a headache.” So, I feel like I'm stuck with something that isn't exactly what I wanted. At this point, it is what it is.

    I had ADT in the past. I got them again. The reps I worked with were good. I just got a doorbell camera installed on Friday. For some reason, it's not working properly. I noticed it last night. I also notice that the camera is all scratched up. It looks like it was used. It doesn't look like a brand new camera. There's a lot of deep dings on it. So, someone is coming out on Monday. I wish someone could have come out sooner, but they only could come out Monday to swap it out and to find out why it's not working properly. We have no online connection.

    I have had the worst experience ever thus far. First off, when I received the promotion in the mail, I called about it. The representatives transferred me to a sales manager to sell the promotion a little bit better, which they did. But come to find out, everything she mentioned was not true as far as the price of the promotion and the devices. I initially called for the touchscreen keypad along with the doorbell camera. When the sales representative came out, I had to settle for the basic system.

    About a week later, I ended up getting in the phone with customer care. They reimbursed me like $200. So therefore I use that money along with $100 of my own money to purchase the equipment I wanted, the touchscreen keypad and the doorbell camera, which I just got last week. Everything worked out perfectly. Now, I'm having issues with the camera. When the tech left, it seemed to be working, but it's not working now. It's been a crazy experience. I have only had my system for about three weeks now.

    We were ADT customers years ago. We switched but we weren't satisfied with who we switched to so we decided we wanted to come back to ADT. We had a good experience with our sales rep. They were able to help us walk through the plan that we needed. But there was a point where I didn't think she explained everything clearly about the package so when the tech came out, we weren't aware that for any of the additional things that we talked about, we would need to pay upfront. By the time the installer finished going over what we talked about with the rep, he was expecting almost a $700 downpayment or deposit. That kinda took us by surprise because I was going over my notes and I didn't recall the sales rep saying that we would have to pay anything upfront.

    But the installer was able to work with us. His manager also called to get us, at least, into a system we were okay with. And at a later day, we'll add the things that we wanted. Other than that misunderstanding, the sales rep was very professional. I also really liked the technician that we got. He spent time explaining things to us, walking us through it, and making sure everything worked. My husband and I both were very satisfied with him and what he did. We have his name written down so that maybe we can request him when it's time for us to add the additional items that we want.

    We just bought a house and my girlfriend wanted to get an alarm system. We got ADT since this was the only one that I had heard of. The installation went really well. The guy who came was awesome and super helpful. He was also wearing a mask and he was using hand sanitizer frequently while he was working on everything. I like the fact that I'm comfortable leaving the house because everything is monitored. I can activate and deactivate the system from anywhere using my phone which is pretty nice.

    I was asking ADT's rep about prices. She was telling me their system was $99. I was telling her that there was more to the cost than $99. She also said their techs would call before they came and they would give me a timeframe. But then, they didn't call. The lady on the phone needs to know more about what she's selling. When their salesman Larry came, he explained everything. He was able to demonstrate the use of the system. He was telling me prices and he said that they never call when they were gonna visit. He said that if they said that they would come between 2:00 and 5:00, they would be at my place within that timeframe.

    I had a security system but I had this brochure and I wanted to get my internet re-hooked up. I called that and one thing led to another from CenturyLink to DISH Network and they finally pushed me onto ADT. I had a wonderful sales rep who was in his 20s. He knew his stuff and was 100%. The packages were super-duper. If you have a lot of money, you could do it. But I don't need all that stuff.

    I do, however, need more equipment in here than I have at the present time but I'll have to wait a little bit more until I get some money so I can do that. The rep would have supplied it that at that moment if I wanted it, but I didn't. I had more things before but I didn't utilize them. So far, I've already ticked off the police department twice because I hit the wrong damn button. But now, the police and I are getting more familiar. Other than that, it's fine. I've always had a security system and I'm used to it. If you live by yourself and you've got a dog that doesn't bark, it's a good thing.

    ADT was a pretty popular alarm monitoring company. I got a sales rep from there who was thorough and knowledgeable. I told him why I was calling originally and he told me what I currently had as well as what he thought I needed. He knew the product and what I was looking for. Originally, he came in at a price that was kinda astronomical and he said that he figured I would choke at that price. I said, “This is what the other company I'm currently with was in the ballpark," and he put together a package that was better than what I was getting there. That's why I went with ADT. He was good. We got a camera system and I know who is coming to the house and who is dropping all packages. I know if anyone is in my backyard, coming in my front yard, or ringing my doorbell.

    The installation was fine and was done relatively quickly for what I think they did. The installer went over the system with me. I had a silly little problem with it initially. But the guy came back that day or the next morning to help and figure it out. So far, the system is good. The only thing is with my other system, there was an external siren. With ADT, it just comes from the keypad so the other one was much louder and more startling if someone entered the house. I was looking to add an external feature whether it's in the house or outside to get that startling factor if someone breaks in rather than have them come in, let them get scared then run out.

    I heard about ADT from friends. The rep was very professional and courteous to what I was looking for. Very helpful in explaining things. And then, the installers were very accurate, also professional, helpful, and easy to talk with and explained everything. Nobody has been in my house so it's a good deal for me.

    I needed to get some security because of a relationship and I chose ADT. My experience has been wonderful. The installers and everybody from the get-go has been nice and professional. They have taken good care of me. I was pleased. The people they sent to my home were knowledgeable and explained everything. It's easy to understand. You make a payment and then all this goes to you owning the system and you're able to move the system with you if you choose the move. It's self-explanatory. To put my system up, it took them two hours. It was quick and easy, and I didn't have any problem at all. The system adds up to my expectations of what I was needing and wanting, and it works well. It's a good system. The people are awesome and I highly recommend it.

    Everything went well with when I dealt with my ADT sales rep. I was promised two cameras though but when their tech came, he told me I would only get one. He started doing all of these discounts. He discounted me out of a camera and I need another camera outside. I didn't like that or their false advertising. Now, they're trying to make me pay $200 something for that camera. The system I got is a little complicated for me. I need the tech to come back 'cause I need him to show me something else and unplug some things. Other than that, the system I got is alright.

    The installer, Javier, was great, very professional, kind, friendly, and informative. He also wore a mask all the time. But I called ADT to send me the information in a format where it could be sent by mail because I was having a problem. I also forgot my password which is four letters and I should’ve known that as well, but everything was done. It’s the first time I've ever had security and I know that ADT is pretty much number one. So, I feel that I’m very secure up there. I had a three to five-day trial to try to see how it works and it takes a while to time yourself. One time, I ran and disarmed it because I had to remember that my phone was still charging and I was walking out the door. I’d rather disarm it and arm it again than to have it go blaring. And I appreciate the fact that I can look at it from my phone. I just tap into it and I see my living room.

    Other than that, I have a barn and the system was set up with the barn being protected. But on the first night, the thing went off and said, “Men running.” It means that somebody is around the barn. But that was not true. So, my tenant at the time had to take that off. But once I have tenants again, I'd still like to protect my investment. I've put a lot into that farm and it's beautiful.

    I'm very pleased with ADT. The only caveat was we had a salesman come out to go over with the system that we wanted, but we weren't moving into the house yet and we didn't have WiFi yet, which didn't tell us. He came out and he priced out the whole system for us and he planned the whole thing out. Months later, we called back to have everything and for them to come back in and install it, and they had no idea what we had already planned out. So, it was a complete new sales call from the beginning.

    It was a little frustrating because we're in the middle of trying to get situated and set up and I didn't have three hours on a Saturday to devote to this. I just thought they were coming and putting all the sensors in and that was it. The second salesman was wonderful, very knowledgeable and didn't push us too hard to do certain things. We went kind of on the lean side with the system because we wanted to try and see what our needs would be, and then go from there and see if we needed to add additional things. So far, it's working okay as far as what we need. We're great with the app. It's so easy to use.

    We went online and we filled out a form for a “free quote.” We gave ADT all the information and the address of the house, my name, my phone number but we never heard back. But we got another call later. We made arrangements for somebody to come out and give us a survey and that was Josiah. He did a good job. We never had a security system before so it's a little bit new to us. I thought one of the things we were gonna get was a video of anybody that came to the front door. To the best of my knowledge, I have not seen that yet. But we are still in the midst of moving and we haven't paid a whole lot of attention to it. We haven't read the manuals and the directions. The other day, I rushed out of the house without turning the alarm off and realized it a little too late, but I came back in and I turned it off. But then I got a call from ADT to make sure everything was okay. They were pleasant and professional.

    My daughter looked ADT up for me and the rep came out maybe a day after. He was a gentleman. When you go out the door, it says exit and when you open your door, you go out and it tells you, which is good.
