    I spoke to a sales rep over the phone first which was terrible. I told them what I wanted but didn’t explain to me that the doorbell cams were part of Google Nest. The phone person also quoted me a quote less than what it actually ended up costing and also told me I had no money down which was also wrong so when they came I had to pay first month service so I’m glad I had it otherwise that would have been a wasted trip for the installer. So when the installer came I asked about that and he explained it. He also explained that the phone reps were trained the old way, the no money down and they are just used to that. The in person installer/sales rep was very knowledgeable and that part went great. I would refer him to set up anyone’s system. The installer listened to what I wanted then if it was too costly, found way to still get what I wanted done but a less costly way to do it. He was great.

I told ADT that I was returning their equipment and they said that I had to keep it and keep paying it for three years. I told them I didn’t need it, and they said to use it at my home. I told them I had Vivint and they said they couldn’t help me. They’ve deducted $53.40 a month for the last two years while sending me notices saying my alarm system isn’t connected! Of course, it’s not connected because I’m not using it!

    I've been pleased with ADT. It's just that until Ian came out here, nobody explained anything. They came, installed, and left. In fact, I hadn't even seen a manual. Ian came down, and nobody charged me anything because I didn't want to have to pay for something like that, because there wasn't too much I needed to. But when he came down here, he stopped by, and he showed me how to use my equipment. Then he also said, "If you're still scared, you can get some window sensors.” Window sensors on the back part of the house. Also, a motion detector down the hallway. So, I'm doing a whole lot better. I really appreciate that, because I was not given that at all. No recommendations were made.

    Ian took care of all my worries, because now I know how to use it. There are some things that he showed me on the pad that are useless. I don't know if somebody needs to look into replacing obsolete material with something new, but I'm pleased now. The first installation, I couldn't get anybody out. They told me that it would cost $155 for somebody to come out. And then the lady on the line from ADT, said, "Okay. I can work it out so that it can charge you $80." I was sitting here thinking, "This is not customer service." Because I'd already bought the stuff and paid for everything. So, all I wanted was to be able to feel confident in how to work my system. Nothing at all.

    Ian was showing me some things and looking around, and he said, "Look, I would do this, this and this. Six on the back." He said, "I can put them in all over the house," but he said, “To be honest with you, on the front, it's going to be really hard for somebody to start breaking in a window on the front side of the house when you're like 15 yards from your window," and he said, "but I would do it on the back ones, because nobody can see back there." He came back another time and installed everything. And he always asked, "Is there anything else you need to know? Yes. Because I can find out." I'm happy that whoever was on the other line said, "We'll send him out for free, and we're not going to charge you." I was like, "Now, that's customer service."

    Some of my ADT signs were broken, so they sent some other ones. Then another guy said, "We'll send you those fluorescent types that light up when somebody comes.” The fire department had to come out here one night, and they knew this was the house that had called because they lit up. Somehow, they were lit, or they could shine a light, and they could see it was fluorescent of some sort. I don't know how, but they knew that they had gotten to the right thing. 'Cause I live behind 7-Eleven.

    There are all kinds of crazy people behind the buildings on my left side and then across the street. They come in doing wheelies and stuff at night. So, I really needed this. The fire department came immediately. 'Cause I told them I could see smoke, and it was gray. It didn't smell like food. The ADT alarm in my house, the batteries went dead. My two smoke detectors went off.

    I had to replace the batteries in that ADT. It was installed less than five years. I had three alarms going off. And before I could get out of the shower, I heard the fire department siren coming. They sent two trucks, blocked the street because they knew this was the house. That was a false alarm, because I couldn't get out of the shower quickly enough to turn off the ADT thing. 'Cause it was in the kitchen, and I was in the bathroom. And it's a hallway and two doors down. So, I've just been frustrated. But the fire department is coming out here to make sure that I reinstalled everything correctly.

    After Ian, it's much better, except that I didn't know I'd have to replace the batteries in that ADT alarm. The installer was very kind, but he didn't do me one favor by explaining anything, or I wouldn't have been so panicked about anything else, because I didn't know how to work it. I didn't know if I was setting my alarm okay. I've had several false alarms just because I couldn't get to it quickly, and I was scared, and I had to remember my code and all that kind of stuff.

    I love my ADT. I rely on that for my sleep at night. I don’t want break-ins. It gives me a sense of satisfaction because I'm here by myself. Sometimes I cut it on in the daytime, like when I'm trying to take a nap. I will start keeping mine on even in the daytime, because I've been thinking about that. When mine rings, it goes straight to the jail or ADT. A couple of times I forgot to turn it off in the morning, I opened my door, and in a few minutes, here came the police, and I'm glad. They know me so well. They laughed along with me.

    ADT is a terrible company to do business with. They are legal thieves with their contracts. I signed up with a third party, Envision, who did the installation and ADT handled the billing. I had a 3-year contract, which they said I couldn't break after moving one year later. So, since I had to pay out the contract, I decided to move the equipment to my new house, even though I lived in a safe community and didn't need it anymore, and never used the alarm for 2 years. I paid Envision to move the equipment so I expected the contract to expire 2 years later in May 2026.

    Now that it's here, I found out that somehow, without telling me, they extended the contract by 6 more months, and ADT/Envision tricked me into signing up for 6 more months of service which I won't use. So, I paid over $2,500 for using 1 year of ADT service. I will never use ADT again and have told everyone I know to never use them either. So ADT, you are only hurting yourself for being such a deceptive company.

    We've used ADT since we bought this specific house. It's been about 18 years now as a monitoring service and maintenance service on an existing alarm system. Historically, there hasn't been much contact with them. The system was pretty much bulletproof. There wasn't a lot of problems. In the course of 18 years, we called them for service four times. It was always handled promptly, whatever had worn out, because these things only last so long. The system would have been put in in 1998. Nothing broke that was concerning. It was just natural aging and wear and tear on the system. The service was always satisfactory, we got what we want, and the monitoring was always good.

    When the alarm signals did go off, it was monitored, things worked as they should. If there was a fire alarm, the fire truck would show up. The police never showed up, because we'd always get a call. We answer the phone, we provide a code to prove it’s us, and it worked exactly as we'd expect it to work. This year, 2026, we completely updated the alarm system. So, we went from 27-year-old technology to state-of-the-art stuff. We got push button to touch pads, no cameras to five video cameras, and wired contacts that occasionally deteriorate or corrode to wireless. It was control on a phone app versus limited control on a keypad. We have all the controls on the phone. We lock and unlock from our phone, but we don't unlock and unlock the door. It's important to us because we have big dogs. So, we have to balance out, keeping them in mind when putting a system in. There has to be flexibility for home dogs in our home.

    If I was going to put another alarm system in, knowing what I know now, I'd go with ADT, and I would recommend them to relatives and friends. There are people that do the home install themselves. One of the top brand names of alarm systems is ADT. If you want it to work and you want it done right with minimum hassle, you call ADT to come in. Customer service has been fine.

    As far as monitoring fees, they're not budget. They're not the low-cost provider, but they are good value for money. The cost didn't affect us because we were getting what we wanted, even though it probably cost a little more than other monitoring services. In terms of the new install, it was expensive. It was 15,000 bucks for an all singing, all dancing system with five cameras and recorders.

    We have no issues at all with them. The install team and the sales guy were first rate. We haven't had any problems since the system was installed. The cameras went in complicated but perfect. There was a couple of sloppy things, but they came out as soon as I found them and gave them a call. They were back within a couple of days and made it right immediately. You can't expect perfection, but if they fix it immediately, that's real good.

    I had a 3 year contract which ended in spring of 2025. After that it was to be a month to month basis. No new contract was created. On 04/14/2026, there was police activity on my property and the next door neighbors. The SWAT Team was on my property for at least 20 minutes. My ADT Cameras caught NOTHING. They stopped working on 03/31/2026. I called ADT on 04/18/2026 to cancel service. The representative kept pushing sales tactics and would not take NO for an answer. I finally said just cancel it, ok. I told her repeatedly to cancel it, and I disconnected. I did not want to hear anymore of her pushy sales tactics. They won't take NO for an answer and sales can be predatory like. I was tired of hearing it. She did not cancel it as I requested. Now ADT Reps act like I was in the wrong for not allowing her to continue with her pushiness.

    I called back on 04/22/26 and 04/23/2026, and they finally followed through with the cancellation, but they still want more money. They won't recognize the original cancellation date as 04/18/2026. It is difficult to cancel ADT. It is a fight to get them to realize that NO means NO. My experience is they won't cancel based on a simple request or a simple phone call. They insist you listen to their pushy sales gimmicks before they honor a cancellation request. Don't contract with this company. They are too predatory and exploitative.

But there's always notification if we left a door open and a sensor is going off, or if we lose power. We get all those notifications. The customer service has been handled extremely well too. They're very responsive and always available if I need them. They have multiple sources online I can use. Otherwise, I can call their number.

    I would promote ADT. We started out with them so many years ago. It was just a basic system, and it evolved over time. It's very connected now and there's even accessories that we don't use. In terms of cost, I don't know what others charge, but I want the cheapest price possible. I always think the price is too expensive, no matter what I'm talking about.

    This company lies and steals from their customers. I called to cancel my services. I was bombarded with "ways to help" and pressured into keeping the service at a lower rate and they would send a technician out to inspect my devices. The technician came out and did not say anything about charges. Only that parts had to be ordered. He came back the next week with replacements and charged me $735. Why would I agree to $735 charge if I was wanting to cancel in the beginning.

    I called to dispute the charge and the account manager had me on the line for over 55 minutes negotiating for a resolution.

    I agreed to 36 months at $29.99 and the $735 refunded/waived. He noted I agreed to $150 credit and the 36 month contract. I called back immediately when my bank was charged for the money I did not agree on and was given more of a run around and that is when I was told he put the $150 credit in notes. I demanded they listen to the recording and hear me say 1000 times over that I was not paying the $735. I still have not received a refund and I'm telling them to take their crap out of my house immediately.

    ADT has a national reputation, which a lot of the local companies do not have. Also, the person that I first dealt with was named Katherine and she was excellent. She had a nice sense of humor, and she was very knowledgeable and conversational. So, I decided that this was the company for me. I have them for two years now and the phone calls that I've had with different technicians have been super. I really like the way they handle things. I'd tell my friends that ADT has the latest technology and is very responsive to any problems that we have had.

    The alarms are very good. We have nine doors and there's an alarm on each door. I can hear when people go in and out. So, it's very helpful knowing who's going in and out. I also like the cameras outside. We had a very aggressive salesman come and when she saw the cameras, she backed off immediately. So that, to me, is a good thing for us. The cameras also catch animals that go past, which we find really interesting.

    ADT has been good. I pay $35 each month and that's chump change. Whenever I ask for help, they're very pleasant and they help. I have a good panel on my wall. I upgraded it to the latest one some time ago and I've been very satisfied with what I got. So, I've not asked for anything else. A few months ago, my alarm kept going off and they helped me to get the alarm back on after a couple of days. We found out that the alarm itself didn't cause the problem. My system was off and I understood that the issue had to do with something else in my home. All in all, ADT satisfies me.

    It boggles the mind that the ADT cancellation process hasn't resulted in a class action lawsuit against the company. DO NOT sign a contract with this company. You must speak to a live agent, but they do not answer the phone. You are required to leave a message, and they take more than a week to call you back. If you miss that call, they do not call back. You start the process over. When you do reach them, they take a full 30 days to cancel, meaning you pay again, even if you are not in a contract.

    I wish I would have checked the comments online before I tried to deal with these people because with a 1.2 rating they obviously don't care. They are running a slick pyramid plan. Called in and told the rep what I need for my business and she said no problem, got me scheduled for installation and of course got the deposit payments. Then they send the technician out to install the product and he says no, what I ordered is not what I need to he tells me what I need and of course it cost more and he gets another deposit.

    I complain after installation and they send out a 'manager' to see my operation and he tells me I was not sold what I needed and then he gives me a proposal for different equipment and guess what, yep more money. This is wrong. They confused me, got over my head with technology and basically outsmarted me. When I call in for explanation of my billing the reps say they don't understand my issue and will send me something in writing by letter or email but they have not. The only thing they seem to be efficient with is charging my credit card. I wish I could rate them a negative rating but again it appears they just don't care. I don't know what remedies I have available but researching this. I have to believe they are treating other customers the same one.

    We got ADT in our second home about five years ago, and we had it in the first home a couple of years before that. We chose ADT because of its reputation for being secure and its products, especially the ability to control door locks from a phone. Everybody sees the ADT signs. Since we wanted security, they were the first company we called. We’ve had a great experience with the reps. Anytime we have a problem, they help us and walk us through anything, like changing the batteries on the doors. They send alerts to our phones so we know, and they tell us exactly what it is.

    One time, somebody jarred the back window and the alarm went off. I could hear him over by the garage. ADT called immediately and assessed the situation in 10 seconds. It was very quick. They called the police, and they were here within a couple of minutes. So, it was a very fast response. The police didn't see any footprints and they thought raccoons were just prying around the window, or when the light came on, it scared them, and they jumped and hit the window. It was a good outcome and the response was great. So, I was extremely pleased because I happened to be here by myself.

    We started with just the door locks and then we added a camera to one of our homes in the front. There are doors in the back and we added motion cameras to the side in the back, too. We added another camera at the other house and did the same thing with our Airbnb. We had the door lock put over there and cameras on the outside of it. The door locks are great, especially when I'm coming home at night or after dark. I can stay in my car, where it's secure, and I can unlock my door, get out and go in. I don't have to fumble with keys or try to see the buttons to push. I can just do it from my phone.

    Terminix goes to our second home to spray and we can unlock the door and watch our motion detectors and see where the tech is going. Then we have cameras out back from ADT that let us watch him. We've had Terminix for a long time and we know that guy pretty much, and we never have to worry about our house. But he'll call and say he’s done. We can see him on the camera and he would say we can lock the door. So, we just lock the door and set the alarm again. ADT’s system works out well because our second home is in a different state. It's extremely convenient. So, we're happy with ADT. The products are a little pricey, but you have to factor in that you're buying it once, and then it's there and it's monitored. We've never had to have the door locks and all the cameras repaired. And the techs helped me walk through changing batteries in the door locks.

Overall, ADT is are trustworthy. I trust them with the information they give and the service.

    I have had ADT for a number of years and was always very happy with my service up until now. If you have a problem and call ADT they make you talk to a digital assistant and she is horrible. Even if she can’t answer your questions or you need to explain a problem she will not let you talk to a human being. A pity; the service was always wonderful before AI.

    I was new to ADT. The home I purchased already had the system in it, and when I went to reactivated the system, they insisted to send a technician to make sure it was fully functional. The technician checked the sensors and I signed a work order that he never disclosed would change my initial one year contract to a three-year contract. This was never verbally agreed to and they refused to correct this extension.

    We live out in the rural area, and many years ago, we were burglarized two or three times. We decided we needed a security system and went with ADT for their reputation. They've been the only security company we've ever had and we feel comfortable about it. We have one ADT sign, but we need two new ones. Brinks came and tried to sell us something recently, and they put signs out. Besides that, we've been with ADT a long time and I have no complaints with the price.

    My experience with the ADT reps was good. There were some issues with it. I thought that the service came with the cameras, and then found out that I had to pay for the cameras separately. I got upset about it, but then I got over it. I just kept with them since. However, I have one Roku camera and a doorbell camera that aren't working right now. But other than that, we haven’t had much trouble with ADT at all. They're really prompt when it comes to alarms going off. They text you and call you really quickly if the alarm goes off. My son set the alarm off, and he didn't know how to shut it off. And they called me. I like that feature. I also like that when the internet and the house shut off, the system still works. Because if electricity goes out, it still works.

    The only thing I didn't like, but this has nothing to do with ADT, was that we had to get an alarm permit. I didn't know about the alarm permit until after we got the alarm system. It’s here in our county that we have to have an alarm permit to have an alarm in our house. On top of the service that we had to pay for, we had to pay for an alarm permit.

    This is the worst monitoring alarm company I have ever had. I had Life shield before. Never had any trouble. The alarm keeps going off. It won't let me put in the code. The QR Code pops app while the arm's screaming. My wife was trapped in the house today because her phone wouldn't scan the QR Code then when I called to complain about it for the fifth time after having people walk me through resetting the codes resetting the pad resetting the cameras 3 or 4 times They threatened to send me to collections if I canceled and didn't pay. They graciously and that's snarky by the way agreed to bring somebody out free of charge. That was mighty ** of them and give me a free month for the inconvenience that I've had.

    If this doesn't work I told them that I will be filing a suit against them with my lawyer because I cannot get in or out of my house at times or even shut the alarm off with my phone because it doesn't put the 0 on the keypad until I enter the wrong code first. So I've had to change my code just so if this happens Again I can unlock it with my phone. I highly suggest anybody looking at ADT to run with your hair on fire as far away from them as possible and go with somebody else. PS I even changed internet providers at my expense to see if that would help. Nope!!!! I only gave Them 1 star because they didn't have a -10 star rating.

    Do not and I repeat do not sign a contract with ADT!!!! The worst customer support on the planet, when calling I get someone in another country that cannot speak English and have to hang up and try again and again until I can understand someone. There are multiple class actions law litigations going on for them ripping customers off. I signed a 3-year contract and after 1 year I had to relocate for my job. It has been a year, and they are still billing me for two separate locations, and I sold my other house over a year ago. It took months and 10 to 20 calls to just get the new system installed at new house. I had to call a local service company to have them help me so we could get system installed, they had to call the install department because the people I talked to on phone through the ADT 1-800 could not make it happen.

    I have never dealt with this level of incompetency in my 51 years of life. After over 20 calls I am still getting billed for a house in Florida, I moved out of over a year ago. Today I am cancelling the credit card, so they stop stealing my money. I am convinced it is intentional because how can a company this large not understand or be this incompetent????

    We changed from another system to ADT and it was a learning problem, probably on our part. But it also goes to their setup. They typically go through it once and ask if we understand. But understanding and practicing are two different things. So, the reps needed to have us sit at the panel and go through it a few times. They just tried to explain it and then move on. When there was an issue, they referred me to the manager in San Jose. I just ignored the problem for a while until I finally became comfortable with the issue. But that's probably more customer error than ADT. I like getting the emails from ADT saying that so-and-so door was opened at so-and-so time or that it’s still open. It’s a nice feature. We’ve been with ADT for two years and I'd recommend it to a friend.

    I've been in this house since 2012 and I've had ADT since. I had someone come out and do some upgrades on some stuff. I like ADT. It's convenient and the system is easy to understand. The price is good too. I'm content. There was this other people that came around our house one day, and it sounded all fancy, so I switched to them. It was the newest system, but the way it was set up didn't work for my house. That lasted two weeks, then I went back to ADT and I haven't looked for anything else.

    ADT's customer service has been great right now. However, the city charged me for excessive police calls for a problem that ADT knew I had. The alarm goes off on this same window. So, we knew something was wrong with this window and before the guy could get out here to fix it, the alarm went off again. I wasn't home and ADT should have just ignored it, but they sent the police. So, the city charged me $125 and ADT gave me the information where to send it to. I sent my request in with my payment and I'm waiting to hear back from that.

A lot of times, I set the alarm off because I forgot I had it on. I have to be careful because when I first got the system, I wasn’t attuned to it, and the police came out. They sent me a letter saying I get two free ones. If they come out again, it’ll be $100. I set it off once this year and I was able to turn it off before the police came out.

    When my son was moving things around, he moved something on the sensor on the door to the garage. I could get the overhead door down, but I couldn't get the alarm to set. So, I called ADT, and a nice man called Jerry came out and explained what happened. It wasn't the door or the sensors on it. It was a small piece on the inside near the kitchen door. Since all the doors have to be closed for the alarm to go on, that missing piece prevented the alarm from being set. He put it back on and everything was cool.

Now I’m receiving a final bill for over $800, which makes no sense.

    When I called to get clarity, the representative I spoke with didn’t even try to hear me out—he just said he would email me the contract. This is extremely frustrating. Even canceling a phone line doesn’t cost $400+, so how is this justified? No one I spoke to over the years ever mentioned being locked into a long-term contract.

Additionally, the "agent", obviously a bot, indicated that there was no way for me to find out when we could expect the technician. After waiting more than four hours, I was notified by the bot that the technician was enroute, but I wasn't given his estimated time of arrival.

    When I protested this response, I shortly received a call from the technician, and he that he was still quite a distance away from my location. He offered to reschedule the appointment, and we declined the offer to which he responded, 'Yes, I understand." Because ADT makes it impossible to speak with a human being and stonewalls requests for help, we cancelled our long-time account with ADT and do not recommend them to anyone who expects responsible and timely customer service.

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

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

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

    I use ADT when I leave, or go on vacation. Other than that, I've never used it. ADT hasn't done anything good for me. They've protected my house, but I've never used it because no one has tried to break in. If the power goes off, my ADT goes off. It has a battery backup, but it only lasts for 20 minutes, and it starts beeping because the batteries are low. Also, I got one camera that doesn't work very well. My front camera is not clear. It's an orangish yellow. I can see what it puts out, but it's not a very clear camera.

    I wish the price would go down instead up. When ADT installed the thing, the tech said, once I paid for the equipment, the price would go down, but it went up. I wanted to upgrade and get one camera where it would work properly, but ADT told me it would cost more money. He said they can put different cameras, but it would cost me $40 a month more so I never did it. They put in new system that is supposed to be better than the one they put in 14 years ago. Why should I upgrade if I don't want to pay more money a month? The price in 14 years has doubled, and I still have the same outdated equipment, because they charge you to upgrade.

    The representative said I could call billing and talk to them about trying to get a price reduction. I never did. Other than that, I'm happy with it. The security system seems to work. If I want to see if something that was moving in the yard at night time, I can always go on my camera and look. I've recommended it to people. My neighbor across the street owns a preschool up here, and he wanted to do something over there because he had some kind of system, but it didn't work very well. He came and talked to me about ADT, and I said it was all right.

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

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

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

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

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

I have three doors and if I need to get in the house, I don't want to have to go around and unlock a door. But the alarm will still go off if the door is open, if it's set.

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

But that was the only problem. I had a new policy with a Spectrum and I had a new system. So, I had to call ADT because I couldn't push some buttons to change the doorbell. But there was no problem and the panel is easy to use. ADT usually checks the system once a month and whenever I accidentally set the alarm off, their response has been very fast.

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

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

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

Upon reaching out, their customer service rep apologized and was giving a sad story. Also, when we have any problem and we call them, some of the customer service reps don't understand what they're talking about and what we're talking about. For example, a yellow button came on and they tried to get it off, then they said that we had to buy a new battery which we had to order off of Amazon. That was a big mess.

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

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

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

    In our prior home, we had ADT since 1975. In this house, we've had it since 2000. I have only had interaction with customer service when I needed a new battery, and then when the alarm would go off on an occasion. For some reason, we'll figure out it was a cat. Our interaction with their representatives were positive and productive. I feel fortunate that I barely interact with them. I'm happy that the system just works. I'm much more comfortable knowing I have ADT.

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

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

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

    Total overcharge 4670.73.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I need to upgrade my notifications on who to call. But I'm used to the programming. Also, I feel secure with it. If an emergency came up, it would go through and handle it quickly. I've had lots of calls and people come to my door and want to change and they weren't interesting. I had one the other day, and I said, “I've had ADT for years. And I don't intend on changing.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Because of this improper installation, I am now being told I must pay approximately $125 for a technician to come out and address the issue. I do not believe it is fair to charge me for a service call when the problem appears to be the result of incorrect installation by your technician. I am requesting that this issue be resolved at no cost to me, as it is directly related to the original installation. Please review this matter and advise on how you will correct it. I would appreciate a.

    ADT's customer service reps have all been good. It's been a long time since I've been with ADT, and the service has been good. I haven't had any problems with it.

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

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

    Poor communication
    Unreliable service
    Lack of professionalism

    No resolution after multiple visits

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

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

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

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