    The installer was professional, friendly and patient in answering my questions. I didn't expect the additional sales efforts at the start of the installation. Overall, the installation went well although I could have used more instruction on setting some of the options on the keypad such as chime volume, date/time, etc. Also, it was surprising that the generous Visa gift card required a $4.95 shipping and handling fee only payable by money order or cashier's check. The following day, a customer service representative of your company called about the installation. She suggested calling monthly to test the system. You may wish to have the system test itself daily.

    I was doing a search of security systems and I checked ADT and a couple of others at the same time. I checked what they offered and what the price is worth. So far, the system is good. While I would like it to cost less, it still seems reasonable. Also, when I've done false alarms, it's been as much as 15 minutes before they actually respond, which a lot of stuff can be gone, and the people can be totally gone.

    However, their representatives have been very professional and so were their technicians. They changed out a battery, and they always clean up after themselves when they have to do repairs. All in all, while I'll stay with this system, I'm not sure if I might not have re-evaluated it at that time and had gone with the cameras to the phone type situation. It's because when I got this system, we didn't have the cameras and motion detectors that immediately report to your phone. They're very different technology now.

    My house was burglarized and after that, I decided I wanted a security system. I went to three companies online but, ADT has been in the business for over a 100 years and that told me they knew what they were doing. They had a good package and a good track record. The salespeople were very knowledgeable and knew exactly what they were talking about. The technicians who did the installation were excellent and very professional. The original package that I bought included sensors inside the house, and three cameras, one inside and two outside. I later decided to add two more cameras for the front door and the back door. The installation was very good and the equipment has been excellent.

    ADT says they do a 24-hour monitoring and I know they do, because, I set off the alarm one day by accident and ADT was on the phone within 5-10 minutes. They called and ask me if everything was okay. I verified, gave them my password, a code word, to verify that I was the person who was supposed to be talking and we took care of it very quickly. They're using High Definition cameras now and the image quality is very good. I had someone check out my track in the wee hours one morning and I caught them on camera. A couple of days later I noticed and called the police. They came over and took one look at the video and said, “Oh, we know that guy". He was out on perils for breaking into vehicles. I would certainly recommend ADT to anyone looking for a security system. I've been very pleased with them.

    We've had ADT security system for years. If there's an alarm that isn’t turned off, the police come. If there's an alarm that’s made by mistake in the house, I can cancel it and it will go off. Other than that, it's a typical alarm system. However, I don't know how long the keypad lasts. It still works but I'm just wondering if it's starting to wear out because it's been there for at least 20 years. It might be a good idea to upgrade it. Also, when I call these days, it's been an automated call. But in the past, it has been a real person on the phone. But so far, I'm perfectly satisfied with what I expect them to do.

    I had my individually owned system and then I had them converted to ADT over six years ago. The system I have is wired and according to the ADT technician that's been out a couple of times, they have the fewest problems with wired systems. And now, the big push is for the wireless. The installer was highly professional. Also, they have long-time employees and I see the same faces when they come out. I'm satisfied with them. I’m 100% satisfied with them.

    My son had ADT in his house and he recommended it. My mother who lives with me is 102 years old and she keeps letting her cat in and out at night so I am unable to set the alarm during that time but I do when I go out. When my mother is going in and out, the system tells me that the door is opening or someone’s in the house. I appreciate that and it gives me a sense of security when I’m not at home. I have it for two and a half years now and it’s doing what I expect it to do. I’m very pleased and satisfied with the whole system. I would recommend it.

    We've had our ADT security system for years. They were Brinks at one time and then another company at another time. We have the usual security things and the yard sign. We recently upgraded and got some cameras on the house. The process was very easy and the gentleman who installed everything was very nice. ADT has been a problem-free company and we haven’t had any real issues at all. We've tripped it and their response time was real quick, unless we can cancel it before it gets to them. Then they have to call us and they seemed to be fine.

    Rep showed up on time, went over my options. The first pricing was over $5000,00 for everything. Wow! The second slimmed down version ended up at $1800.00. Then all the equipment was free, imagine that. Then I was really confused on how something that was once $5000.00 is now free. Then to top it off they offered me two gift cards at $100.00 each. So I went ahead with the understanding that I had Three days to change my mind. After not sleeping that night due to the what seemed like pretty screwed up sales tactics, I changed my mind and even if I pay more somewhere else I will be able to sleep. I would have hated to have been the little old lady that wrote the $5000.00 check for equipment. It just doesn't seem right.

    I was very pleased by the evaluation of my home for protection by Mr. William **, the ADT technician sent to my home. He was very professional and did not try to 'oversell' me on what I needed and what I requested. On his first visit, I just wanted an estimate of what it would take to set up my house, but we were in the middle of a renovation job at the house and not really ready to actually do the set up at that time. I received quite a bit of pressure from the ADT salesman on the phone to do it then, but I stuck to my guns and had Mr. ** out approx 6 weeks later and he set us up with the installation. I feel the sales people are quite aggressive. But the tech I had was very nice and realistic. I appreciated that.

    I’m satisfied with ADT. The sales rep was fantastic. She was thorough and answered my dumb questions. I felt really good when I left for the cruise because they got it turned on before we left. I felt like my house was being taken care of and they give you the option to get some of your family members or friends to contact if you’re not available. I really like that.

    After I had it for about three years, they went up on the price. I started out at $30 something and they went all the way up to $50 something. I called them because another company came by and I would pay $99 one-time fee and my payment would be less than $20, and I was going to go with him. That’s cheaper. And nobody has ever really broken into my house and I thought I’d do that. So I called ADT to get it shut down and they talked me into keeping it. And I said that I didn’t like that they jumped my price. So they lowered it and I like that. I’m still paying that same $32 for about six years.

    Also, about three months ago my bill went up. It was about $3 or $4, which was no big deal but they just sent the bill. They didn’t give me a warning it was going to go up. So I called them and said that if they're going to increase my bill, I would like to know about it. I’m retired now. My income is still good, but it’s not the same. I spoke to a supervisor and they put it right back to where it was and it’s still there and I’m okay with that.

    My husband smokes and he’d go out the back door. Sometimes he would forget that he had the alarm. The phone in the computer room would ring. We found out it was hooked up in the computer room rather than in the den where we’re sitting. We’ve gotten used to it but that part we don’t really like. We just let it go. We don’t open the door and we learned to turn it off sometimes when we’re home. Then my battery died and I was all ready to buy a new battery. I got a call back that said my deal came with the battery. I get a new battery and I don’t have to pay for it. I was a little disappointed in the fact that their call center people weren’t aware of that.

    I began this awful journey with ADT on Friday, October 20, 2017. Here are the reasons I am wishing to cancel my ADT services (without penalty): For starters, the salesman never told us the contract was for 3 years. I called him and said we would like to get service on Friday, Oct. 20. At this time, I was in the car driving and my wife was with me. He said we needed to sign an agreement, which I assumed was simply for installation. He emailed us document and my wife signed it. At no time did he mention this was a contract that was for ADT service for 3 years. I feel this was very deceitful. In our first week of ADT service, we were charged the online rate ($44.95) on Monday Oct. 23 and not the rate our sales guy quoted us over the phone ($34.95). I had to reach out via Twitter to have this resolved. It was handled, but it was still frustrating we were already charged incorrectly.

    On Thursday, Oct. 26, our alarm was going off saying a window was open when it wasn’t. I went through the whole house and re-opened and closed the windows and doors. I also called to get a tech out since I was unable to fix it. By the time the tech came to our place on Wednesday, Nov. 1 (the soonest they could have someone out), the system wasn’t acting up anymore, so he couldn’t troubleshoot the issue. Since the system was acting up during this time, I also wasn't able to arm our house in fears it may go off by mistake. A few days later, on Monday Nov. 6, our alarm went off at 1 AM and woke us up. Not only was there no window or door open, but it terrified my wife and I. I have no idea why the alarm went off. I was forced to turn our system off as I was worried another false alarm would wake us up later. I feel like I can’t even use the system properly since it goes off randomly.

    Our service started on Monday Oct. 23. On Thursday Oct. 26 (within the 3 business day cancellation period), I direct messaged ADT on Twitter and requested my service be canceled without penalty as the system was not working as it should. They told me I was outside the 3 day cancellation window and that social media isn't the appropriate way to cancel service. Due to these ongoing issues and the fear of a faulty, unreliable system, I am hoping to have my services canceled without penalty. It's been two weeks of worry and fear and I don't wish to continue these feelings.

It’s a great system to have if you’re looking for a security system. Their customer service is excellent and keep me informed. I like that if there's any movement, or sometimes because of the weather, they'd call to make sure everything is okay.

If we could have found one with ADT for the same price, we would have added our son to the mix. We ran into somebody from Vivint at a building show and we talked it over with him. He seemed to think that it could be done but we didn’t hear anything back so we figured that it was a no go.

    We called them one time when we went downstairs and one of us hasn’t turned off the alarm and so it went off, but then we immediately turned it off. The person I talked with at that time was fine. They used to call us whenever it went off but now there’s a certain amount of lag time they give us before they call back. Years ago, we had a tiny spider in one of our motion detectors and it sets the alarm off. The technicians were off on a trip, but they came out, cleaned it and we kept it dust free.

    The five-star ratings here must be bogus. Every single person I've contacted about our ADT contracts has been lied to. My wife and I were told repeatedly that after 2 years our contract would be fulfilled and we would own the equipment. LIE! It's for 3 years, and the sales guy talks really fast as he highlights certain words and phrases as he goes over the contract and gets you to sign. Okay, during the 3 years I was left without monitoring for several weeks, during which time ADT did not try to contact either myself or my wife to let us know there was a problem. I finally noticed when setting the alarm one night that there was an error code.

    Called the service and they sent someone out, telling me there would be no charge unless I had made changes to my phone line, which I had not. Tech fixed the problem, and, no, they didn't bill. They simply made an unauthorized charge on my credit card. I called to their rude, unprofessional customer service scumbags who told me that nothing could be done, ADT gets paid for all service calls. I told her to send the tech back out to pick up the equipment and I would pay the early termination fee of 75% of the remaining balance, in my case I still had four months to go, but I would rather pay the fee than to agree to let them steal even a single dollar from me.

    Finally, she agreed and reversed the charge. I gave 30 days notice and I am finished with these thieves on 11/7. I am expecting a refund since we get charged a month in advance for service, another scam, but I really expect to not only fail to refund November, but to also charge me for December. I am waiting to see what happens, and I already have my papers ready in case I need to sue them, which I will happily do.

    When we were moving to Houston, a salesman from ADT stopped by at our house. We wanted to sign-up since we knew that it was essential. When our installer came, our house had been under ADT but an older version. He updated it, which was no problem, but after he's all over, he suggested that we take down the smoke detectors and the carbon monoxide detector and replaced them with ADT's version. I told him to leave them as they are as they were working fine, so he got upset with me and left without even explaining anything further about ADT. Then, a week later, the alarm went off. We didn't know what to do but we finally got it turned off. By that time, the police came and wanted to know what happened and we explained.

    Then, a week later, I got a letter from Houston City Protection telling me that I had failed to pay the $50 initial fee and also being fined in $210 for not signing that fee. We didn't know anything about that particular thing. The installers certainly should have known about it. I then sent the letter to ADT to remind them that they were responsible for it. But I got a no and I had to dish out $300 for a lesson learned. We immediately paid the $50 as part of the initial for it and since then, we've had once the alarms go off or for no reason at all but been taken care of.

I had to get the battery out or else I'm going to get this beeping and beeping. I thought that get service within a day or so. But I had to wait a couple of weeks. I had to get up on the ladder because my service call was not scheduled until a good week and a half later.

    I'm disappointed since I'm paying for this every year and I'm not using it at all. I used it only two years out of three. The third year, I have them come back and check it for me. Otherwise, I've had good luck with them. I had someone replace the connection in my front door because it wouldn't go off, and the tech did well. I want to have a lot of windows. I'm alone now and we're not in a really open area. I'm happy to have it but the cost kept going up. I called them and they made an allowance for me since I was paying so much more than what was given as the cost for newcomers. My sister had ADT put in this last year because they had so many break-ins around there, and they had a different type of wireless system.

    I had two break-ins in the home in San Antonio, Texas. When we moved in 2008, we bought a home here and I had Brinks done then in conjunction with the building. We had them continuously since then even after ADT purchased Brinks. I have all my windows alarmed and for when I go in and out. I also have a button but the button is not working currently. When the alarm went off the second time, I was told it was maybe the battery in the remote. I’m going to change that to see what happens.

    When Brinks put it in, the service and the people I spoke to at Brinks especially when I had an alarm gave me the impression that I was topmost in their mind. However, I didn’t appreciate the fact that ADT attempted to go up on the price within two to three months of them purchasing Brinks. They came up with a new price and structured that. I was not happy with it. I wouldn’t go out and wave the flag for ADT. If I had somebody that was cheaper that provides the same service, I’d probably take them. But it’s a service. And as a service, I accepted it for what it is. I’m satisfied with it. They’ve done okay. I don’t have to pay a fee to the city for my alarm. And when my alarm goes off, they call me once or twice some time on my house phone. And if they can’t reach me thru my house phone, they call me on my cell. So, I’m satisfied with the level of response.

    Have had a horrible experience with ADT in Montreal. I purchased their system which consisted of 4 sensors, a doorbell picture monitor and a controlled light switch module. Technician came as planned to install everything, upon trying to install doorbell he mentioned it was too big for my space and needed to install a smaller one which he didn't have. He also advised the light controller would need a electrician to install it, so instead I requested to exchange this product for one which just plugs into wall and I can plug in a lamp or light to it. He said call ADT and book another appointment for a technician to come with correct doorbell and do the exchange for the light switch.

    I called that same week and booked an appointment. When the agent came he thought I wanted a new system installed, he try to figure out to do on his computer for over an hour but left with no resolution saying his manager would call in few days. Manager called 1 week+ later, and no conclusion was made over the phone also as he said he couldn't understand my account and how the order was done, he said he'd call back once he speaks to someone else. No one called...

    I had my wedding the following month so couldn't be bothered to continue to follow up with this. Moving to September, I received an invoice for all the equipment. I finally called ADT advising them the initial installation was not even completed from June so I won't pay the invoice until it's completed and adjusted to reflect the exchange in the light switch product. The agent on the phone scheduled someone to come during work hours; I took off work to be home for when the technician comes. The technician never showed up and I didn't even receive a call regarding this. I called ADT back the next day advising them no one came and I can't take more work off. So they set up another appointment which was scheduled between 6-9 which was outside my work hours. No one showed up this appointment either...

    I now called back again telling them what happened and I need to speak with manager, I was transferred to a manager but only got the voicemail, I left a msg and no one called me back. Brings me to today, I called back ADT again and said I need a manager right away. I want to cancel my service, installation has not been completed and it's now been close to six months. I was transferred to retention/loyalty department where I spoke to someone named Katrina. She was NO help at all, after telling her the whole story and situation and the frustration I was enduring, her only resolution was, "I'll send another technician. I said, "How am I suppose to trust this for the 3rd time and assume it's not going to be a no show again." She didn't have any further assurance other than "I will follow up after the appointment." (I was told this by every other agent who booked me an appointment but was missed and never followed up with).

    I finally told her, I want to cancel my service and I want all the equipment to be removed, I know I signed a contract but the installation hasn't even been completed for almost 6 months now and no resolution has been met. She then said, "You're under contract. You will have to pay $1000+ in cancellation fee, + installation fee + equipment fee. I told her I was not going to pay a cancellation fee or anything else for that matter for a service which has not been fulfilled. She said she's going to send it to collections and I can do what I want... I left another voicemail for a manager and am now still awaiting a callback. I am not impressed with ADT or their customer service or their Montreal location which has no idea what they're doing. Hopefully an ADT rep sees this as I have seen they have responded to other reviews.

    I’ve had ADT for about 15 years and I have the basic package. I have motion detectors, glass break sensors, and the key fob. I shopped around and ADT has one of the best prices. My only concern at one time was that the pricing was going up but I called and was able to get a better price. In fact, I called and cancelled and then somebody called me back and wanted to know what was going on. I explained to him and since I was a long-time customer, they decreased my bill wherein I won't be needing a landline. Therefore, I'll save $50 a month and that made a big difference. They also called me around the time that we had our last hurricane and their guy came out and put in some type of Cellguard, and he was very pleasant. My experience has been wonderful and I would recommend ADT.

ADT took over and we had to go along with what they do or don't do and they don’t agree with the previous contract. A rep came out and tried to get us to purchase new touch pads which didn’t need replacing. And that was the time I found out that they don't transfer stuff. The service did not change but Brink can move my system with me and I can’t transfer services with ADT. I’m not happy with ADT and it’s going to cost me a lot of money when I move. Every window and door will cost me a penny and I’ll have to repurchase everything. I plan to contact ADT about it and I wish I had Brink’s back.

    I requested to put my account on hold for a period of 5 months while under a 3 year contract. They refused and so I offered to extend the overall length of my contract to make up for the lost months of service I was obligated for, and they declined. I now look forward to completing the remainder of my contract so that I can work with a more flexible and people-friendly corporation. This type of treatment is short sighted unsustainable. I told them that they would lose my business if they would continue to force me into services during these unnecessary months, and they didn't seem to mind. I will now have to dedicate time to spreading the story of my unhappy experience with this company on social media. I don't see how they see this as the better option for either of us.

    We had an old system that was wired and ADT integrated the new wireless stuff with the old wired system so that made it extra complicated. I wasn’t aware they could even do that but they did. But the service has been good. But for about a year the Plus system did not work on my Android phone but worked on my wife's iPhone. All I could get from anybody at ADT was there was a software glitch and they were working on it. They were supposed to have it fixed a year ago February and it never happened. I could use the app to see the cameras but I couldn't set the alarm with my app on my Android phone so we used my wife's iPhone and did it there.

    There are some cleaning ladies that come once every two weeks. On the day they come, I do not arm the system so they can get in. One day I forgot to disarm the system and I was 20 miles away. I saw them on the ring doorbell that we have. I saw the pictures of them trying to get in. I got a call from ADT saying the alarm had gone off but they said they could not turn it off and I had to do it. I couldn’t do it because my Android phone didn’t work. I had to call my wife, who's a pre-school teacher, call the office, have them go down and get her to turn off the alarm with her phone. It took them over a year to get the Android app to work, at least on my version of the phone. But it works now and I can set the alarm now.

    ADT revamped my system and it was different in a number of ways and a little easier, in some ways, to function with. We got a motion detector that's not connected to the system by wires. It's matted inside and opening and shutting it back up when you replace the battery is not that easy but it's workable. I had to have them come out and install the battery after I've got it to where I couldn't get it to close up. But I can do it the next time since the tech showed me how he did it. It's still a tight fit, though, and you've got to give it a pretty hard punch. They shouldn't make it quite that hard to open and close since every year or so, you're going to have to change the battery. But the system is as advertised and I've had no problems with them.

    So, about six months ago I had an ADT system installed in my house. When the installer (“I’m not a salesperson!”) arrived, he was very congenial but extremely deceptive. The house was a rental and I knew I would be moving out and repeatedly confirmed with him that I could cancel service at any time with no penalties. Moving day comes, I call ADT to cancel, spoke with THE most horrendous phone representative ever who informed me that I had signed a three year contract. WHAT. When I originally signed the contract the installer did not give me the opportunity to read the document since it was on the tablet he was using to set up the system, and told me the signatures were to confirm install.

    There was no explanation of what I was signing and certainly no indication that it was a three-year agreement. Additionally, I was paying an extra $5 a month for a service that I did not ask for nor receive and they refuse to credit me that. Today I had an appointment to remove the system from my house and into my apartment, since I would have to pay $1200 up front to get out of the contract that I was deceived into signing. When I spoke to the person who set up the transfer appointment, they told me that the same technician would take down the old system and take it right over to my apartment to install since they are less than a mile apart, and that it would just be a transfer of the contract, specifically that it was NOT TO BE A NEW CONTRACT. The window for the appointment was 10-2, and I get a call at 2:20 this afternoon from a technician at my apartment to install a brand new system.

    I was at an event with my daughter and had to step out for a significant amount of time while I called ADT to figure out what was going on. They had no idea. Fortunately they record all of their calls because I’m going to escalate this until I’m truly heard. The technician was kind enough to wait for us to get to the apartment, he does the install and it’s all good until we get to the signing part. I initialed in two spots and noticed below that it stated this was beginning a 36-month contract. I did not sign the rest of the contract but the technician left and the system works, so here I am. Screw ADT. Deceptive, misleading, dishonest company that I cannot wait to badmouth to everyone I know. Such a scam!

    We first heard about ADT in the mail where it said they would come out and hook things up for you and so we got the most we could for our money. Mike talked to the sales rep and everything was fine and I loved the install guy, Todd, who came out here. I said I could look it up probably, but he was really good and really nice so we got fixed up with what we want. He was very patient with my husband and me as far as getting everything set up. To have every single thing done in our house would have cost thousands of dollars but he was here for quite a while and he did a fantastic job.

    I have more experience with the system than my husband Mike, does because I'm home most of the time. Yesterday a funny thing happened when he had one of the key fobs with him but he was miles away in another town. I walked past my system where you turn it on and off, and then I turned around and I walked the other way past it when all of a sudden, the alarm went off. It was screaming “living door” and so I walked in here and checked the living room door and it was just fine. I didn't have any clue why the alarm went off unless he had something accidentally hit. I didn't think it would work from 45 miles away and Mike doesn't have the app on his phone where he can arm and disarm it. I have that but he never set up his. My other key fob was on the table and I didn't touch it. That's the only unusual thing that's happened and other than that, we've been very happy with it.

    We've only had the alarm go off two other times and one time was when the ironing board fell over and the shatter alarm went off because it was in our bedroom, and so was the ironing board. Also, there was a time when I had woken up with this alarm going off and knocking the clock onto the hardwood floor and it set it off. But unless we accidentally open the door and forget to disarm the system, ADT has done great and I feel so much safer with it. We got broken into twice last summer and we don't intend for it to happen again. We haven't had any more break-ins and I've got plenty of signs and stickers.

I looked at the window and noticed it was broken and there was broken glass and mud on the floor. Our system never went off and belongings were stolen. When we called ADT they told us they could fix our system if we paid for the extra coverage. Our argument was it should have been fully protected from the beginning. They set up the system.

Even though I paid extra for the service agreement, where ADT agrees to fix it if it doesn't work, they demanded that I pay to fix the system or pay a huge early termination fee.

    We had our system installed in June and it has never worked for us properly. The pulse app that we pay for never worked and still does not to this day. We were not told a 3rd party has our account and we can’t get anyone to fix our problem after numerous visits. Customer service is a joke! Lies after lies. No help whatsoever! I will spread this information to every source I can so that nobody has to deal with this!

    We have had 4+ techs out and none of them knew anything of the others doing. I have been told I need a new panel wires into my internet and I have set this up 3 times and each time a tech comes out he has no clue what I am talking about. Again, crappy customer service and communication!! Paid a lot 1500+ for equipment that don’t work and was told by one of ADT techs that was not even carried anymore and was junk.

    ADT responded to my complaint and closed the account and refunded overpayments on Account. I hope and pray this is the end of this matter

    Original Review: Oct. 24, 2017

    Mother Passed away last year (February 2016) and since she had ADT on auto-pay (for years) and our dad was still with us, we kept the account open. When our dad passed in December of 2016 we took on the almost impossible task of preparing our family home for sale, this made more difficult because me or my sister didn't live in the state of Alabama anymore. Knowing the alarm was on to protect the home was a blessing. During the process of prepping and re-painting home the lines that connect the ADT system was cut. No call from ADT or no Emergency services dispatched (i.e. Police). We finally sold and closed on home. August 30, 2017 I called to close account. I was told to fax a statement requesting account to be closed along with mother’s death certificate. Both were faxed on August 30th and later we get a letter saying ADT needs my dead mother’s signature on the request.

    Explained to representative that I already told the first one that my mother passed away and his response was they never received the death certificate, re-faxed certificate. Later ADT pulled another payment from account, called and representative said that they were still processing the account. Re-explained the issue to him and stressed that this back and forth is causing our family to have to re-visit our parents’ death over and over again months to near a year after their deaths. On the 21st I received a bill in the mail for the full monthly payment due of 55.97 and another asking for just 7.46, Called and talked to representative and she said that was our last bill and it was adjusted for services provided.

    Asked her how could ADT charge us for services when the alarm has been disconnected since June 2017 and they didn't even know or contact us of a problem with their monitoring system because according to bill that's what we are being charged monthly for. I didn't want this to be a long drawn out statement but the situation warranted it. This account is not even in my or my sister’s name. We were trying to do the right thing because we loved our parents and that's how we were raised. This is NOT how you conduct business or encourage positive customer service. I WILL pay the $7.46 and hope and pray no one ask me my thoughts on should they use ADT in the future.

    Hello Corwin- We are truly sorry to learn of the passing of your parents and the trouble you experienced cancelling your mother's ADT services.

    We have reviewed the account and see that your cancellation was supposed to be processed on September 7th. While, we do see that a customer service agent waived the remaining balance of $7.46, the account appears to have been over billed by $61.57.

When I had an incident where a camera wasn’t working, they sent somebody over right away to check it out. Turned out, it was the internet which was messed up. They did the best they could to fix it and they hardwired it. I’m still having a problem with it but it’s because of Charter Communications which has it all screwed up.

    I used ADT's services when I lived in Burbank, California and when we moved four years ago, I would have had to pay off my contract if we couldn't have used ADT in our new house.

I use the app to arm and disarm which is terrific. We were at a football game one time. There was a big storm and our dog broke out of the house because of the commotion. Had we not set off the alarm, we wouldn't have known it happened. We also have a sensor that's out in one door and so, until I get somebody out to fix it, it's great that I can just bypass that door.

So anyone can throw something, video 30 sec then turns off leaving the system blind for up to 43 min. Insane! So I contacted company to switch to a CCTV NVR system (more expensive) and want pulse cameras removed and credited 10 camera system towards new system. They laughed and for months said past 3 days they couldn't do anything about it. What a joke.

    Especially since 3 days from signing but not installed for 7-10 days. Still needing security I broke down and paid another $5000 for a 8 camera NVR CCTV system that was installed 5 weeks ago and has not worked at all since the 2nd day.

    I have had ADT since 2006, initially, it was ok. However, as time went on, I begin having trouble with billing, in spite, of me asking them to SEND THE BILL EVERY MONTH. They had gotten to the place, they were sending it every 2 months or so. Thus, naturally, the bill was larger. I DON'T WANT THIS. Additionally, periodically, the battery would get low and I was hardly able to hear the voice stating that the door and windows were covered. This occurred when I put the alarm on. Yesterday, a technician came out because the alarm was CONSTANTLY BEEPING, WHICH INDICATED, the battery was low. He fixed it and replaced the batteries. Well, last night, the system began BEEPING AGAIN. I called them this morning and asked them if they could disconnect my service until I could have this system replaced, thus, to alleviate this constant beeping, which is extremely annoying.

    The representative was not the best, therefore, I asked to speak to a supervisor. He told me that he could walk me through it to stop the beeping. I tried to follow his instructions, but it was beginning to become a long drawn out process. When speaking to the supervisor, I asked him to disconnect this service, he said that with my password he would be unable to do it. I explained to him that I had had this service for 11 YEARS and I have never used the password and I do not know what it is. He stated that he would send it to me and I should have it within 5 days. Therefore, for the next five days, I will be compelled, to listen to this beeping, which is nothing less than being annoying.

    Since I have been with ADT, 11 years, I am entitled to a new system. (That is what the technician told me.) When I called the number, they told me I would have to have to have the password. This is nothing but a mess. I asked them, if I did not pay the bill, they would cut the system off, therefore, why can't it be disable NOW. Once this is rectified, I am going to get another company. I do not like this constant beeping, that I have no control over.

If I accidentally leave a door open and somebody comes to my house they can open the door but the door will alarm me that somebody is coming in my house.

    I was at one of my friend's house here recently. I took some things to her home and she wanted me to put it inside her house. So, she unlocked the door from where she was so that I could sit it inside the house. And when I close the door, she was able to lock her house back up. I thought that was really unique that she could actually unlock her house from where she was, let me in and then after I came out she could lock it back. She was using a cellphone application for her ADT system. I'm going to call to see if I can find out about that feature.

I’ve had the most interaction with the house team and five different representatives and I’m very pleased. The installers have also been wonderful. For the few times that I’ve had a problem, they came right out Johnny-on-the-spot and I didn’t have to wait long. In fact, they come every five years and replace all the batteries in my house since I’m 74 years old. I highly recommend them.

    We needed a security system for the house with a recent rash of break ins a shooting. I called and got the ADT system installed within hours. Not even 5 weeks later the system goes down. I call and try to get someone scheduled to come out and fix it and they tell me it will be at least a week. That is unacceptable to not be covered that long. Very disappointed with effort of trying to get this fixed. But if you want a new system they will be there the same day!!!

    We have two door alarms and three motion detectors from ADT, as well as cell phone linked to the phone system. The installation team came in three years ago and upgraded the system we had. They changed the cell phone unit and some electronics. Their reps were helpful. We did call them about the remote because the batteries were running low and we weren't sure what we needed to do. They sent us a battery but it's a wrong type. And then, they sent us a larger battery for a different model of the remotes. We've called them a couple of times just to find out some basic information. When we have problems, we get good answer. When we needed information, they give us information. So, everything's working fine.

    I’m well-satisfied with ADT's service. I had something went wrong with the ADT system and we had a power outage, so I could not get into my camera to look at it. When I called ADT, they sent a technician out. And when he told me it was a $25 charge for him coming out, I was stunned because no one had ever said a word to me about it before. I told him I'd call ADT and find out about it, and I have not heard another word. I have my payments automatically withdrawn from my checking account each month. And so, they may have taken it out of my account like that. But when you pay what you pay each month for the service and you really don’t call them out often, they shouldn't charge you for it.

    But other than that, the security is good. Garnett had his remote and his key in his pocket and when he sat down on the couch, he accidentally set the panic button off. And I was on my way to take my sister to a doctor’s appointment, and ADT called but they didn’t get an answer at the home phone. So, they called me on my cell phone and I told them Garnett was home and I would call him. So, I did and he told me, but the police officer showed up too. So, they were right on the ball, and I would recommend them.

    Just got a call from Protect Your Home requesting payment for a "permit fee" of $31.70. I cannot believe they try and collect this after having the system for nearly 2 months. I told the agent to send me a letter explaining why this additional charge is just now being added. The first tech installed a wireless system and neglected to tell me the monthly charge was almost double for the system I asked to be installed. This is not a good reputation for ADT for the unhappy customers to deal with. If this continues I will cancel my service within the 3 month period.

My only recommendation for ADT is to make your number known rather than having it appear as "Unknown Caller" on the phone's screen (and I have ADT saved as a contact).

    Response from ADT

    Amber- I understand that you have some concerns regarding ADT’s procedures in why you are not called or you received a recorded message if the alarm is tripped and you enter your code to disarm your system. If you accidentally set off your alarm and enter your code to disarm the system, you may or may not be notified.

    To further explain this, on a burglar alarm the signal will transmit 30 seconds after the siren activates. On fire/carbon monoxide/medical/or any type of life safety device the signal transmits upon activation of the siren. Once the alarm signal is received in the monitoring center, the agent will start notification procedures of the signal. You may also use the armed instant feature which would then generate an alarm to ADT monitoring without the entrance delay. We appreciate you reaching out for help!- Tim L

They said, "Get the little girl and the dog out of the living room, so we can finish these measurements." That was pretty cool. I like that it’s not connected to the wires and it automatically can call the police or the fire department. Once every few years they would contact me about checking the systems or they will notify me that something was wrong with the system, then I get that fixed. They’re always on top of it.

Now, we were in Australia, September 18th and that thing came out. We had not been able to use the app even to check stuff back here at home from there. It hasn’t worked since. It’ll open up for a couple of seconds. Every once in a while, it’ll pull up the camera for a second and then, boom, it crashes again. They’ve had other people also with the same problem. But there’s no ETA.

    ADT is a huge conglomerate. This is an emergency because we’re all paying for an app and have not been able to use it since the update. They should’ve shot out another update right away.

    After recently experiencing a burglary in our home while we slept, I was fearful it would happen again. I immediately decided upon ADT Security Services. The representative who called me to set up our installation appointment was very kind and understanding, listening to the details of our break in. The installer, who arrived, also very cordial and professional, explained all of our options, answering many questions I had, and allowing my husband and I to choose the level of service we wanted, without feeling any high pressure sales.

    After the installation, he explained how to operate our new security system and although we were given the opportunity to not have the system activated immediately, so we could become familiar with it, we chose to have our service active later that evening, out of fear of whoever broke into our home, might return. We did have a malfunction in an outside entrance to a cellar, in our 1860 built home, several days later, and a technician came back to change the sensor to a different one.

    Due to the entrance being a heavy metal door, the first sensor was malfunctioning. After changing it, it is working fine now. Before being serviced for the malfunction, I did have to call a tech rep to bypass the malfunctioning cellar door, and they were able to quickly tell me how to do so.

    We've had several properties and we've always used ADT. We live up on the mountaintop so we don't have all the service that we would really like. We have traditional home security services but because of the technology up here we can't turn our lights off and on, and we can't check our security from a distance if we go someplace. We have to rely on them to call us if there's a problem. The sales rep was really very nice. He told us what our options were and he also told us what the limits were for ADT given where we're located. We knew that we had to get some kind of service so, we didn't really discuss the budget too much. But he's very pleasant and he went through all of the options that ADT had and then came back when they did the installation.

    The installation team was good. They did have some problems with getting things set up and wired right so we did have to have them come out a couple of times after the installation. For the most part, they came on the date that they were supposed to and they were on time. It's difficult here because there's no phone service about 12 miles from here. So, we always expect people to be late because they either pass us up or they don't go far enough and they can't find us right on the boondocks.

    So far, we're satisfied with the service. We've been here for five years plus the fact that we've had it in our other home as well. The service is very good and reliable. If we're far away, it never fails that the alarm goes off and since we're located in a place where it's not easy for people to get to check on things for us, that's always a bit stressing. We really would like a capability to check on things through the Cloud. But that's not their fault, that's just where we are with the technology in the broadband here where we're located. Nonetheless, I would recommend them to a friend.

    We recently moved and wanted to install a system in the new place. We've been longtime customers as our old home had your system for 25 yrs. The installer was not the best. He acted put out that he needed to get under the house to work and did a rushed job. Shortly after, our system started beeping so had to have a tech come over to troubleshoot. He checked it out, said it was working correctly and 45 min. later left. Within 24 hrs keypad was beeping again! So basically we weren't able to use the system. So you sent out another tech. His name is Steve ** and what a blessing! Wish you would've sent him 1st time. He took the time to dig deep and figure out the problem! He was here couple hours but ended up replacing most of what the installer did and corrected the problem. We now finally have a functioning system and haven't had any problems since. Maybe that installer needs a refresher course?

    I put ADT's alarm system in when I bought the house. When I signed up, I was just really happy with all the people I've worked with. Even though I got the system in free, I did spend extra money to do things that I needed to be done. I like that it's just easy for me to operate. Up until about four weeks ago, my contact with anybody I dealt with has been great. But this last month, I'm a really unhappy customer.

    I've been experiencing some problems with the alarm system. It started six weeks ago. It appeared to have been a problem with my patio door and they'd indicated that I needed to change the battery in it. That was fine. They sent me a battery and I changed it. However, I was still having problems and it was all related to the patio door for some reason, even after putting the new battery in. I then went into ADT, talked to somebody, and they helped me bypass that patio door so I could still leave the house and lock everything up. But I continue to have problems.

    About three weeks ago, I called ADT again and they set-up an appointment for me. My appointment was two weeks ago from 12:00 to 5:00 pm. I sat home all day and I made sure I was here before 12:00. I was here by 11:00 am and at 5:00 pm, nobody showed up. I waited until 5:30 pm, then I called ADT back, and they could not even get a hold of the technician.

    I am sitting at home again from 12:00 to 5:00 pm for another appointment. My alarm went off in the middle of the night and again it had to do with the patio door. I've also got some other issues now with the alarm system. It's not displaying anything and all I get is a bunch of bars. Also, I didn't realize that I had a maintenance contract until all this started, and I've never asked ADT to come to my house at all. I am of the age that I do not get up on ladders anymore and I've got smoke detectors that they put in. That was one of the reasons for the service calls, so they could get up there and check all that. It's been a nightmare. I don't even know who I talked to at this point, but I told them that when I'm through, I'm going to find an address for their corporate headquarters and I'm going to write a letter. They probably won't read but I feel that this is not the type of service that a customer should be given.

    I was in business for 25 years, and if I had done this to one of my customers, I would not have that customer. If the technician cannot make an appointment, they owe me the courtesy of a phone call at least. When I talked to them to reschedule, I said that whoever was the technician that was originally set-up to come to my house, I don't want them in my house. They said their supervisor was going to call me and give me some kind of compensation, but I never got that phone call.

    Another representative that I talked to when I was trying to bypass my door got it all messed up. She said she needed to talk to her supervisors. She came back and she told me somebody would call me back. I told her I'm only going to be there till 11:00. Nobody called and when I came home that afternoon and I still did not get a call from ADT. I'm almost at the point that if I didn't have to start all over, I would take ADT out and go to another company.

    I called ADT to set up an install and was told that there would be an initial fee of $104. I was okay with that. Then I learned that they contract out an Authorized Dealer. Okay. I was okay with this up to this point. The company is called Defender. Let me tell you, the RUDEST customer service and experience ever. The gentleman came and before he even sat down to tell me what I would need, he started uninstalling the old keypad I had in the house (I recently purchased this home). He then walked around the house and told me I would need at least $6,000 worth of equipment. I laughed. The dog laughed and we all looked at him and he said he would see what he could do. He came back and said it would be $1,600. Mind you, the initial ADT rep said he is also giving me $650 in equipment credit. I told the installer this and he said that's including the credit.

    Long story short, I said ok. Then he couldn't finish the install because I needed a stronger antennae for the keypad and he would have to come back. He left me with a big hole on the wall in my foyer entrance. I called Defender the next day and told them I was displeased and would like to cancel (I had 3 days). They said that they would give me a credit on the equipment of $855. I was like okay. Today I noticed that ADT charged my credit card $110 for 2 months of Pulse services that I do not have because I don't even have a Pulse keypad yet! They were no help and said that Defender billed it like that.

    I called Defender back and they said it’s ADT. While we were on the phone I asked about my $855 credit. The lady said, “Oh, I see where there was an email sent, but it's not a guarantee that you will get that.” I told her, “Fine. Then I'll just cancel.” She was like, “Well. Okay, bye.” So, guess what I'll be doing tomorrow... I have until midnight to cancel this contract... PLEASE DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY... If I am going to pay thousands for a 36 months of service contract... I WANT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    Have had no problems with the system. Very satisfied with them. Do recommend to others. Like the Pulse option for remote analyzing. I had to replace the battery. They shipped it and showed me how to install. It worked out fine.

    Have been a customer for many years. The monitoring service is prompt and efficient. On the few occasions that we have needed a technician, one has been promptly dispatched. All we have met were outstanding individuals. They cared about our problems and solved them quickly with their extensive knowledge of the system. We are satisfied customers.

    I admire a company with good customer service. ADT is one. They know, or get help. My new phone company. Ooma Telo, wasn't compatible with ADT's alarm system. ADT researched the problem, sent a tech to install a 'cell guard' (name?). It fixed the problem, with a one time installation fee.

    The customer service agent was polite and allowed me to answer all her concerns without causing further disruption. Once, the cause of the fire alarm was explained. The alarm was reset for a 30 minute pause to allow us time to fix the cooking incident we experienced in the kitchen. Thanks.

    The service both from sale to the installation was outstanding. Friendly yet very professional. I was not pressured to have anything that I didn't need and got absolutely what I needed. The referral money is also a double bonus. I highly recommend them.

    I have had the service for a month. So far the staff and support team have been very helpful. My alarm continued to go off due to a faulty window connection. David ** and the team walked me through some fixes. David came by to check my alarm and window. I sleep comfortable at night knowing my home is alarmed and secure. I recommend ADT to anyone interested in securing your home.

    The young man that arrived at my door was exactly what any company would want representing them. More than capable, he was a welcome presence in a home. His time in answering questions, his relaxed attitude and general appearance made our experience much better than expected. He took the time asking questions and when asked he made suggestions. He was educated in statistics of his livelihood that helped in the decision process without any pressure involved.

    We are pleased with our ADT... We are away from our home for about 5 months in winter and rely on our security to keep our home safe. Our home is checked by family periodically but ADT is always there.
