When I first got the ADT system, it was just for a front door and back door, but I had them add another camera to it. I was kind of misinformed from the customer service to what actually was charged when I upgraded the system, but I wasn't upset. I was just thankful for them to install it because I knew I didn't have the tools to do it.
I use the online tools all the time, and they're up to date. The only trouble that I've ever had was when my Wi-Fi system was down a little bit, and it caused trouble for the system to be set for power going out, and that can't be helped always. But other than that, I've not had any issues with the system at all. I recommend ADT to everybody who asks about a security system. But it would be nice if it could be a little bit cheaper.

We've been a customer for 30 years or so. We initially had ADT when we lived in Westchester County and then in three of our photography studios. At the time, it was due to our budget, plus the sophistication of their system that we chose them over others. We upgraded a few years ago and, overall, the service works very well.

ADT specializes in security more than Comcast or any of those other places. Also, I look back and I remember they were the first players in the security realm. I've also used them before, so when I needed security service, I decided to go back to them. I spoke to the lady on the phone when I called and I spoke to the guy that installed the system. He was training another gentleman that day, so I spoke with him as well. I don't like pushy type sales and people upselling me. And with ADT's guy, even though he was trying to maximize the sale, he wasn't pushy.
When I told him that I wanted extra contacts on the windows and that I'd be willing to do a longer contract if I could get something like that, he was able to make a call about it. So, I ended up with a five-year contract and I was able to get the extra contacts for the same price. So, that was pretty good. Other than that, the installation came on time and afterwards, they explained the features of the system and showed us how to use it. I really like the features of our service package and they meet my expectations well.

Our original system in the house was from ADT and we’ve had them for 14 years. Our package includes motion sensors, glass break detectors, and the convenience of controlling the system via phone or key fob. We also have the carbon monoxide detectors in place. We had a break-in while we were away and the system promptly alerted us and the police called. ADT's customer service is great. The reps answer any questions you have and walk you through all the features. They have many options if you're looking for something specific. I always enjoy them. I highly recommend ADT. I am very satisfied. ADT has good value for the money and is very easy to use.

I would recommend ADT. The reps came out and did everything in a day. The system has been good to go ever since. Any time an alarm goes off, ADT instantly responds. If my alarm went off, they would message me before they send all kinds of crazy fire trucks. Also, they've always been very helpful any time I've had to contact them.

ADT has worked well, and I have liked it, and how I have used it. It has been a good program for me. I really like that I can hear when a door opens or a window opens. There have been several times that my alarm has gone off because I've forgotten I had set it, and it notified me that there was an alarm because I had not shut the door tightly, or my son had come in and forgotten to check the alarm. It was very, very easy to contact a rep. ADT is very reliable and economical.

ADT is always accessible, and they do what we need to have done. We've never had any trouble at all. Periodically, something happens where they need to call.

I'm 78 years old and it takes a while for me to change. ADT has been a part of my life for a long time since I've had them for over 20 years. I see other places that are cheaper, but ADT is simpler for me at this point in my life rather than installing something myself digitally. Any time there's an issue, ADT is taking care of it. I just call them or they call me. The last thing I had done with them was some battery replacements. I don't function well because I had a knee replacement, so they came in and did some battery replacements for me. They also worked on the windows I couldn't reach. But for the price, they could be better. They should have some kind of senior discount.

The ADT system is wonderful. I've been with ADT for 20 years now, and I always get their latest and greatest. I like this Blue and I like my Nest cam. I also got payment arrangements set up for stuff coming up. The installer was exceptional as well. But I’ve experienced some strange occurrences. My key fob went missing and then reappeared with a dead battery. I also had my space heaters turned on by themselves and windows being tampered with. I've had to deal with my system switching from broadband to cellular, which disrupts my cameras. Even though I have someone checking on my cat while I’m away, I don’t believe they’re responsible for these issues. It seems someone might be accessing my apartment through a faulty window, which hasn’t been properly secured despite maintenance efforts. But ADT’s system has been reliable. They're a stellar system. I'm just going to go through all of what I do to keep preventative measures. When I get back, I'm gonna change out the base, the modem for the Xfinity, and see if that helps.

ADT is a very good company. They know the business very well, the service is incredible, and they go an extra mile to take care of you.

It's not a complicated program that you have to go from person to person. They answer you and they take care of the problem, so that's very good.
A neighbor recommended ADT to me. I had a couple of people come in, talk about what the service they provide. They were one of the most complete and professional. When they came to install the system, they were amazing. They explained everything to me. The alarm went off in the middle of the night. We called the police. People tried to open one of the doors on the back, and thank God the alarm scared them to death. I also purchased from them something for my mom. A couple of times, they called me because she fell. Thank God I was home and she had the monitor on. They instantly called the rescue, and they were fast.

I’ve been with ADT for less than a year. Initially, I asked a neighbor and he told me about them. I called them up and had them come out and give me a price. The guys that came out and installed the system were top notch. They were very professional, courteous and helpful. Every interaction I've had with them has always been spot on. It's also very easy to communicate with ADT. I contact them for something or i make a phone call when I need to have them come out. When I had them check the system, we coordinated when we were coming home to make sure that we were home. They were very accommodating to get me checked out with the system to see what was wrong with it.
I've always had good interactions with the representatives. When we were down in Tampa, there was a glitch and all five of my doors were being opened up at the same time or at least the machine was thinking it was happening. I got a phone call at 5:00 am Central time where I live in, but it was 6:00 am Eastern time where I was at. I was sleeping then all of a sudden, my phone went off and ADT was calling. I said, "Okay. Send the police out." Unfortunately, nothing was going on. It was just a fluky thing that happened at Thanksgiving.
Originally, we also had a bit of a problem with the sensors on the doors. They would link up then they would disconnect and I was getting a lot of error messages. I've got five doors in my house, which is a lot. Most people with residential units generally have about three exterior doors on their house. I don't know whether five doors was too many for the system to understand and it was having a problem. The lady that I talked with at the service that came out and installed the system for ADT said, "We'll fix that." They put commercial sensors on the doors and I haven't had an issue with them since.

The ADT system is easy to use. ADT is doing their job because I'm not needing them as much, gladly. Communicating with them is not difficult at all as well. At one time, I didn't realize that my ADT system was on, and I wasn't able to get to the keypad right away. They called me and asked if I was okay and if they needed to send somebody. They called my husband, too, just in case. Also, I like the keypad 'cause I get to do everything manually - it's not automated. If you need a home security system, get ADT.

We heard of ADT from living in the Virginia area and we had a different company then. When we moved here, we knew we couldn't get what we had before, so we went with ADT because the people we bought from and the house we moved to had a sign in the yard. Currently, our house is equipped with detectors that let us know what's going on, but when the electricity goes out, there's nothing we can do until they're turned back on.
I've been using ADT for about 3.5 years now. We've had our system go off because they were testing it or there was an incident, like there was something in the yard, someone jammed the door or somebody hit the button that looks like a little clock. Other than that, we've been lucky. We maintain our system as well. We have had conversations with the company last year, when a little board was upside down and the lady said, “This is what we're gonna do" and walked us through it, then the board flipped itself back up.
When we've had to have someone come out because something wasn't going right, ADT told us what to do to reset the system or check the battery. We've also talked with reps on the phone for different things that they hooked up. We thought it was hooked right, but then they had to come back and check it, then they told us that maybe we'd wanna try a particular unit, another camera on the back door. That seems like it's working, but the thing about it is we have to keep an eye on it because when somebody comes along or whatever's out there flicks it, that means the battery runs down faster than some of the rest of the units. As far as upgrading, we haven't had any problem. Overall, I would recommend ADT to people and tell them to get it. Considering we live out in the country, especially in Georgia, it works for us. However, it depends on where someone is located or if they're out in the country too, especially if they have wild lines.

ADT has gone more and more automated where I can get online and see some stuff. I had some issues with them when we had a remote problem, and they didn't a very good job in resolving that. But more recently, I had a billing issue which they were able to settle to my satisfaction. We've been their customer for a long time and we use their service mainly for the alarm system. We don't have any fancy features although our service package in one location has more capacity. The other one that we have is in a more remote location and it's an older system, but it does what we need it to do.
We've been customers for a long time and through the years, the quality of ADT's customer service has gone up and down. Sometimes, you get some better folks and at other times, you get some folks that aren't very helpful. When we had some storm damage, we were asking some questions and the person didn't really have the ability to answer them, which they should have been able to do. As for the price, generally, it has increased. However, recently, I found that once you get a price increase, you should call and talk to them. In one case, we agreed to stay with them for five years and they kept the price constant for five years. This last time, our contract for the property at the lake was expiring and I asked them to check if the rate was going to change. They said we were actually qualified to have a reduction, so they reduced the price on that one. All in all, ADT's service has been good and we'd recommend them.

The people I’ve spoken to at ADT have all been wonderful. Any time I've had a question or something just doesn't act right on my system, I'll call. It was really helpful as far as trying to figure out what the issue is, if I can fix it myself or if I need to have somebody come out and take a look at it. They are also very nice and they don't make me feel rushed off the phone because I'm not always the most tech savvy. They don't make me feel as though I don't know anything because I'm having an issue with the system for whatever reason. If they don't know the answer to whatever the problem is, they are more than willing to help get me to the right person or the right department that I need to get it taken care of.
The longest I've ever had to wait to speak to a person would be maybe 10 minutes. We had had power outages and fluctuations on our system in the city that I live in and I know a lot of people were calling in about issues that they were having with their systems. So I consider that really good considering how busy I knew they were.
The last time that I called in about getting an upgrade on my system, the person that I spoke to was very helpful and knowledgeable. They were able to walk me through the options that they had at the time, the features that I would be getting as far as the new panel, the new system. The ADT app was my favorite. I can do a lot of the stuff that I need on it without needing to be in front of my panel to take care of it. The system runs great too.

They hired a 3rd party company to install the system and then when we had a problem with the camera they installed they charged us for a tech to come and said we needed to buy a new camera.

Extremely difficult to get problems and issues resolved, and they show no culpability for their problems. Repeatedly transferred through long phone calls and chats, averaging 60-90 min each, often to eventually have someone tell you an issue is or will be resolved and then it never is. I've received incorrect guidance to address technical problems, equipment mailed to my house it was the wrong equipment for my system, reports that equipment was mailed, which was then never actually mailed, as well as repeated issues with the equipment. Contracts are predatory where there is always a cancellation penalty even if they are not upholding their end of the service, i.e. ability to maintain a functioning system.

They assured me everything was going to be OK which I was entirely grateful but after being with them for a year and three months and having trouble the entire time with no help from them, this company sucks. I have tried to cancel and now they tell me it’s gonna be well over $1500 to cancel because their product doesn’t work. How is that fair? I have never been more disappointed in a company, especially when it’s supposed to protect you. I have tried at me complaints. I have done everything to try to make this work when I first started with them I told them my cellular service at my home was bad. They said that was fine. They said they could get us up and running they can’t they lied they get my business and now I can’t get out of this stupid contract until it’s over. Don’t go with them. They don’t care about their clients. All they are trying to do is get your money.!!!

These people are horrible. Do not buy their services. My ex broke in my house twice while using their services. I fled the premises and asked ADT to set the alarm. They couldn’t help me until an hour later. By then my ex broke into my home. He was able to disconnect my WiFi and the second time he broke into the alarm couldn’t be set. ADT forced me into a contract that I was unaware of by telling me I agreed to a discounted rate for a year, there was no mention of a contract . Don’t do it. Run! They are unprofessional. It took me an hour before anyway could help me while my ex broke into my house and they kept transferring me, each rep I spoke with had different answers.

When initiating my service I was clear that I am blind and need the system to work for me. I was told it worked with Alexa so no problem. NOT TRUE. I had to purchase a separate router to use Google Nest which is 1/10 as good as Alexa. I clearly asked for control of thermostat and the installer did not have one so I had to set up 2 more installer appointments; 1 to install the thermostat and another to fix a faulty installation. The back door sensor had to be repositioned because every time I closed the door it activated the tamper sensor.
Then I accidentally broke the cover of a window sensor and had to purchase a new one and while I waited for it to arrive and schedule another installation, they disabled my entire system instead of just that sensor, of which I was unaware until nearly a month later. Also note that the backyard camera requires dismounting and recharging at-least twice per month. I advise a lot of research before setting up an ADT system, especially if you have any kind of vision impairment.

Updated on 01/07/2026: They refuse to remove their equipment & refund, first few days sensors are falling off, door lock broke, now IQ Panel non responsive. Here is a document FROM Safe Haven confirming $0.00 cost for the equipment. Absolutely Thieves! claiming discounts for Military & 1st Responder families. SHAME ON THEM!!!!
I was told I would pay $0 for my equipment, then I was told AFTER they started the work that it was not $0 it was $3659 (this after the power is cut my existing system removed which in turned knocked out my HVAC & and having live exposed wires hanging out of my wall). The tech kept insisting that I needed upgrades and I said no five or more times and I kept saying I did NOT want or need.
Finally I agreed to a smoke alarm and a flood light. Little did I know they installed like 5 of them and then said hey! surprise we added an extra IQ panel in your bedroom, I NEVER authorized anything more then 2 items. In the end they charged me $5,536. My dad has worked for ADT since 1987, I tell ya what, never again will I trust them! Horrible ethics. They present the $5536 AFTER the install, switch and bait and then told me on a return trip to fix the failing equipment that he would not leave until my complaint was resolved & I sign his document. I call that intimidation, to tell a victim that was attacked in her home that he is NOT leaving till this is resolved and you are NOT getting a credit or refund and he is not leaving till you sign this, yea.... I don't even have the words for this other than absolutely horrible!
Original Review: I was told from the salesman who also wrote it all down on their letterhead document that the cost for equipment would be zero dollars. They changed the price AFTER removing the system that the builder installed in the house. I agreed to only one smoke detector and yet they added several, they installed a control panel in my bedroom without asked, they installed outdoor cameras that look into my neighbors yards after I said explicitly that I did NOT want that. Now I get a message that my system is no longer recording because it met its quota which I would never agree to as I was attacked in my home while my alarm was off so constant recording is a must for me and what I had with Simplisafe.
The panel in my bedroom turns on randomly at night while I am sleeping waking me up (why is it turning on? is someone viewing me in my bedroom??). They send a tech that tells me in my house that he cannot leave my own till I sign his document and settle this dispute and with him. Do you have any idea how terrifying that is for a woman that was attacked in her own recently??? This entire experience has been a switch and bait on so many levels. I signed up because it I was told they are ADT, then I find out that absolutely nothing is ADT till after the first 12 months (per ADT customer service). I want the entire system removed and the contract ended immediately and a full 100% refund of everything, immediately.

Do not go with ADT. The technician came to my house. Sat down at my table, look me in the face and lied to me and told me that when I pay off the equipment I'm no longer in contract which was a bald-faced lie. There is a three-year contract after you pay off the equipment. I was never told about a 5-year contract and beyond that. I've had numerous issues with billing, being lied to by their customer support, talk to five different people and everybody had a different answer. This is a horrible company for an alarm system. They will lie to you dead in your face. All they want is your money. I had a 91-year-old mother fall on my back porch. The camera never went off until 15 minutes later. Then I had a chainsaw weed eater and a blower stolen off of my front porch to where the yard camera did not record. Their customer service is horrible and they will come to your house and sit at your table and lie to you about the contract.
All he wants you to do is is sign that dotted line and that technician will come out there and lie to you until you sign that dotted line. I did not find out I was in a contract until 9 months later. I paid off the equipment. I will not pay the 3-year service agreement that I was lied to about sitting in my home on my kitchen table. For whoever considers ADT please be aware and read the fine print. Do not believe what the salesperson tells you. Thanks. Kentwood Louisiana

The worst company to sign up with. Locked into contracts for years with a cancellation fee. Then if you sign up for additional features, that you understand will cost more, will result in another extended contract from that point of upgrading features. Which they do not disclose with you. They disconnect calls when pushing to ask more question on why contract is extended with no communication.
They will guilt you into not cancelling your contract and will get you to sign up for another contract and say no cancellation fee if canceled early. No emails with follow up information or confirmation numbers after each conversation when something is changed on your account. It's all via phone that unless you record cannot get them to reimburse when they charge your bank account. I was told several lies from several customer service members that they removed my bank account yet I was still getting charges from them.

Subject: ADT’s Deceptive Practices, Misrepresentation, and Financial Extortion. I am writing this letter because ADT has engaged in misleading, deceptive, and dishonest business practices that have resulted in harassment, fabricated charges, and threats of excessive financial penalties over services and equipment that ADT itself instructed me not to transfer.
Here are the facts, clearly and chronologically. I was an ADT customer for over a year, approaching two years, before I needed to move to a new home. When I contacted ADT to cancel my service because the new home already included a security system (SST) at no cost, I was told that canceling would result in an early termination fee of approximately $1,600–$2,000 because ADT claimed I had not completed payment for the equipment.
ADT then presented an alternative. If I transferred service instead of canceling, the early termination fee would be waived and I would simply continue my monthly payments at the same rate. I made it clear that this was not ideal, as it required me to continue paying ADT even though my new home already had a free security system. However, under pressure and to avoid the large early termination fee, I agreed to transfer service.
I then asked whether my existing cameras would be transferred to the new home. ADT stated that cameras are not transferred. I was told that ADT does not remove cameras and that I would have to remove them myself if I wanted them taken down. I was also told that if I wanted those same cameras reinstalled at the new home, I would need to ask the technician whether he could do that and that a fee would be charged for reinstalling them.
Given this information, I was strongly advised that most customers simply leave the cameras behind and allow ADT to assess the new property for equipment needs. After moving, an ADT technician came to the new home. Contrary to what ADT customer service had suggested, the technician advised that I did not need new cameras, since the home already had SST cameras at no cost. ADT installed only minimal equipment: a limited number of window sensors and a smoke detector. No ADT cameras were installed, and ADT is not monitoring my home with cameras.
Months later, my husband began receiving repeated calls from ADT claiming we owed approximately $2,000. When I contacted ADT and explained the full history, the issue was escalated to management. Instead of resolving the issue, the manager proposed what he described as “help,” which consisted of offering a short-term discount on my monthly bill, followed by adding back charges for the cameras that were left behind at the previous home and never transferred or reinstalled.
When I refused this proposal, I was told that canceling service would now result in charges totaling nearly $6,000, including alleged equipment charges and penalties tied to a new contract—despite the fact that ADT did not install cameras at my new home and is not providing the services being used to justify these charges.
This is not confusion or miscommunication. This is a pattern of misrepresentation and financial coercion. ADT presented false choices, contradicted its own guidance, and attempted to retroactively impose charges after the fact. I am formally disputing all alleged charges. I do not acknowledge this debt. I am prepared to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the state Attorney General, and consumer protection agencies, and to pursue legal action if necessary. This letter will be published publicly so that other consumers can understand how ADT handles service transfers and cancellations. ADT failed to act in good faith. ADT failed to honor its own representations. ADT attempted to collect payment for services and equipment it did not provide. That is the truth.

They promise things they won't deliver. Don't waste your money and energy here. They don't care for their customers. In my case they preferred to make a little extra money one month than to keep a 5+-year loyal customer. I asked for a reduction in the number of cameras in my house, when the technician was supposed to come I was sick with COVID in bed, so I cancelled a couple of days before. I asked them if they would keep the discount in my invoice in September, even though the technician came on the 3rd and not at the end of August. They say they understood the situation and they would maintain the reduced price. They assured me this on 2 different occasions.
When my invoice came it was for the full amount. No discount whatsoever. I called and explained the situation. They said it had been a mistake, that they would not charge me anything in October to make it up. The invoice came as if no conversation had happened. I called again to ask what had happened, they said the invoicing department hadn't accepted the discount but they would explain the situation and charge me only for the 3 days I had had the equipment installed in September. AGAIN, that was not the case. So now I am stuck with them for a whole year, since the change in the contract came with a 1-year-long permanence clause. It is not the money, it is the fact I was told differently more than once and the fact I have been n their client for over 5 years and they didn't even consider that for a minute. By the way, the penalty for breaking the permanency clause is 300 euros. Not cheap.

I have the alarm system and CCTVs cameras that were installed 2-3 years ago. The DVR for the cameras has stopped working on it's own. The DVR beeps every other second and the hardware shows an X when the screen loads up. I talked to virtual tech support and had to pay for an in person tech support come out and tell me it's hardware and said I would have to pay approx. $1200 for a replacement. As a customer for over 15+ years and with the warranty protection plan I purchased, I had thought ADT would stand behind their products and replace, as it is no fault of my own and the system isn't that old.
After calling and talking to numerous representatives I kept getting "we can't help you out with that, let me transfer you to (insert different department name) they can better assist you" and ended up getting transferred over 8 times to no avail. They kept trying to get me to pay for an upgrade, or install a newer system, but why should I pay for a new system when this system is only a couple years old and I paid extra for the extended warranty? It's not normal to pay for a new camera system every 2-3 years. Highly considering taking all my services elsewhere as ADT fails to stand by their products they offer, especially failing to resolve this problem with a long term customer.

You can navigate their online tools, instructions are thorough and clear. Everything I needed is there.
I get prompts on my phone to let me know if someone's in the vicinity. I'm a truck driver, so that helps me out stay in tune to see what's going on with my property. I'm thinking they could do better as far as customer-service-wise because you have to wait long to get assistance. I understand they can't answer every call, but there's gotta be a way to be able to communicate a little bit more efficient.

One minute, I could see cars riding by, but when I looked again, I'll see a car in the driveway or a car in front of my house, and I was missing video. Every time my Wi-Fi goes out, I lose total service. I'm not happy about that at all. I'm contemplating switching. I would recommend ADT only if you didn't have to depend on Wi-Fi.

ADT experience was generally positive. We've been using them for over 15 years and the system does what we expect it to do. We added the automatic door lock and thermostats to control the heating and air conditioning. When they had a promotion, we added an extra camera indoors. But I wasn't real happy that what we were paying monthly didn't cover their visits. They often charged 59 bucks.

My experience with ADT has been good so far. Whenever my alarm goes off, ADT calls me right away. But I wasn't too thrilled whenever I was in the Philippines. Before we left for the Philippines, I called ADT and I told them that we were going to the Philippines, and to call the police immediately if the alarm went off.
We had a break-in, they called me, and I didn't answer my phone, and they waited 15 minutes before they called my wife's phone. I answered my wife's phone, and then they called the police. The people that broke in left before the police got here. My neighbor saw them leave the house, and the police came 30 seconds later. Had they called the police immediately, they would have caught them. That upset me tremendously.

I have been with ADT since March, and I have been dissatisfied and unprotected since the start. I have been harassed and assaulted on my own property-none of which has been recorded-many alarms that were supposed to occur did not, and I have had multiple false alarms that occurred whilst inside and barely outside my home. I have called for a number of issues with the equipment. and not only was I not properly helped, I was treated poorly. The first month I was with ADT, Nest aware was not even working even though I had the lead technician and a virtual assistant help me.
The proceeding 5 months I called with a number of other issues but was never offered a technician visit. With all my issues, during month 7 I called again to cancel my contract free of charge. Unbeknownst to me, I needed 3 in person tech visits within the first 6 months in order to cancel without paying out of my contract. I agreed to pay off the $1350 to get out, but after checking my email it stated my total was that plus a separate $1850. I was lied to yet again, and am now left with this financial hardship amongst many other difficulties. I have called multiple times to discuss this issue, all of which ended in me being hung up on or "disconnected".
Every single call lasted multiple hours on many different transfers. When I asked them about all this, every single representative said that My account was not notated by the previous person, so they are even trying to cover their own selves in lies. I'm sure you can see where I am extremely hurt and upset. ADT has preyed on me because I am young and inexperienced and because they never disclosed all this information to me, I am left in financial difficulties.
I understood the value of having a security alarm to protect where I live and people I love in case of an emergency. However, ADT's equipment has failed to monitor a large number of security concerns and have had multiple false alarm reports, causing more distress than peace. ADT is predatory and their customer service is terrible.

I have been with ADT for a number of years and have found them enjoyable to be with. The installation team was very quick and efficient, and when they got done, they went through the system with us. We walked around and looked at the sensors and where they were placed.
There have been one or two instances when the alarm went off, but each time we checked on it, everything was secure. In one case, it turned out it was the dog barking with a high-pitched yelp, which triggered the sensor because it sounded like breaking glass. ADT checked on it and later asked if we had a dog, which explained what had happened. In another instance, the alarm went off likely because of a storm, when wind or debris hit a window. Each time, ADT called quickly, and we were able to handle it over the phone. They have never had to call the police to come out.
The service has been excellent. However, I am on a fixed income and semi-retired. While ADT’s prices have not gone up, in my mind, they’re a little expensive. If the price were to go up, I would have to look at my budget and see what other options may be there, especially with the economy being tight.

In my experience, this has been the worst security company I’ve ever worked with. When my system started having problems, I reached out for help repeatedly, and for months, I was told some version of “we’ll look into it.” Despite calling over and over, I could not get a technician scheduled. Eight months went by with no real resolution. Meanwhile, the system behaved like it had a mind of its own. My alarms would go off randomly, sometimes in the middle of business hours, sometimes in the middle of the night. Every time, I’d have to stop what I was doing to reset everything and hope it would stay quiet for a while.
The part that still frustrates me the most is what happened when someone actually tried to break into my business. After months of false alarms, the one time I truly needed the system to work… it didn’t respond at all. No alert, no call, nothing. I only found out because of the physical damage left behind. To say I felt unprotected is an understatement. I felt ignored, dismissed, and ultimately left on my own by a company that was supposed to help keep my livelihood safe. If you’re considering a security provider, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I wish someone had warned me before I signed up.

We had ADT before and had a positive experience with them, so we continued it when we moved to a new house. I've had them for about five years. Now some of their stuff's changed and I've had a few issues with them. I had an alarm sensor fall off the door, and they want me to fix it, even though I’m renting the system and it's covered under warranty. The big one is when my alarm went off. It went off once for quite a while and I turned it off. Instead of them calling me like they used to do, they never did. I called them and reached a robocall that said call back during office hours. I thought they monitor it 24 hours a day. We finally got it all cleared up. I haven't had any problems with it till then.
They used to monitor and call if your alarm was set on instant and it went off. If they didn't get the person, they call the police or call the backup number. Now they send a text. They've been better about at least texting me to see if it's me that does the alarm. But the idea of having an alarm going off automatically is there’s someone monitoring it. I don't think that always happens. Their policy has changed. That's why a lot of people probably have gone to SimpliSafe and some other companies. But overall, I'm pretty pleased with most of my system. I don't wanna switch right now. If I find something better, I might, especially if they go up in price.

We've had ADT for 13 years and it's getting more difficult to get service when you call. When they installed 13 years ago, they tried to put an AT&T phone and it does not connect here. They then put a two-way radio up in my attic, which worked, but it took 110 power plus a battery. A couple of months ago, I needed service because of a communications failure and they didn't want to send somebody out. I had to call three times.
A year prior, the back door sensor alarm kept going off at 2:00 in the morning. They finally sent somebody and he did change the back sensor and we haven't had a problem since. But they're very reluctant to send out someone. They only want to do virtual service, but none of that solved it. I went for a week without service. I think they're getting very stingy when it comes to providing service.
ADT is easy to set and easy to clear when you walk in the house. It's just I've got a battery failure in my motion detector upstairs. ADT charges two and a half times what you can buy an Energizer or Duracell-equivalent battery anywhere else. When they send batteries for 100 that you can go buy for 30 bucks because they're lithium, they're not cheap, but they’re not worth what ADT is charging. I got a pack of five and I have to call ADT to disable my box. I'm not able to shut it off. If I start pulling batteries, I start getting alarms. Every time there's a price increase, I call and complain and they put me back to where I was. They're very good about that. On a fixed income senior citizen, it’s worth it.

Somebody knocked on my door at 3 o'clock in the morning, and it scared me 'cause I live alone. I needed to have a security system, and ADT was the best. I checked with Ackerman and they were more expensive, so that's why I went with ADT.
It's really easy to use. I set the alarm before I go to bed. When I close the door, I know it's set. Then when I open it, I know it's time to turn the alarm off. That's how I remember.
It's a good deal, and ADT is always available. If anything goes wrong, I can call them. But it rarely has gone wrong. I've had them for seven years and I've been very pleased.

I had ADT for 20 years. Rarely needed it. My alarm went off. Nobody called. ADT didn't react. When I finally got somebody on the phone, an experience in itself, there was no trace on their system. They tried to fix, came several times but trial alarms never got a reaction from ADT. Once I let the alarm ring long enough until it stopped ringing. I cancelled. Getting past their AI operator is a feat. Since I had just paid a year in advance they said I would have to wait until 11/23 to get reimbursed. They sent me a bill showing a credit balance and 11/23 due. That date came and went and I received nothing. Went back to the phone and spent several hours getting through and was promised reimbursement but only after more delay. It finally came through on 12/6. Stay away from ADT. Will never deal with sharks like these again.

During that time, the system had also worked, which I appreciate. There were people who tried to break in my front window, that thing went off, and they took off. ADT called the police, and everything was okay.
I’ve had ADT for close to a year now. And I decided to use them because when the guy game out, he was really good with me, and he did not make me feel like I was old and crazed, unlike the other companies, which treated me like I was a doddering idiot.
There were also a whole bunch of technicians that came here for the installation, and they were excellent. They answered all my questions. They made sure that I was comfortable and that everything worked. They had to run wires for the cameras and everything. And they wanted to make sure that I was okay with even the smallest thing, like drilling a hole. And then they cleaned up behind themselves.
They were here for quite some time, getting it all to work right. We had an issue with one of my doorbells that didn't wanna hook up to my internet because the router was too far away. And they guided me through what extender to buy to get it closer and to make sure it was working right.

Customer service has been equally unacceptable. Hold times are consistently around two hours, scheduled calls are routinely missed, and basic support has been nearly impossible to obtain. At this point, I feel disrespected and taken advantage of. Instead of providing security and peace of mind, ADT has caused ongoing frustration and stress. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. I strongly advise choosing a different provider.

I've had ADT since October 2015 in this home and had their service even before when I lived in Acworth. I had it even longer there. We just extended it when we moved here. I’ve always given them a positive review. My experience has been good with them.

Worst company and customer service. Had a touch screen pad installed it constantly freezes on me and I had to call them to do a main reset on hold for 30 min every time and they won’t replace it. Best part is they said it should never freeze and it’s faulty but they still won’t replace it

This company is the worst. They made me sign a contract yet they will not honor it on their end. They continue to charge me a lot of money and no one at the company can address the issue. After several calls and wasting several hours, this thief of company can't resolve it. They shouldn't be allowed to do business especially I'm supposed to trust them to provide security. They are robbing me blind.

Worst company ever. Truly. We haven't been able to use our security system since May. They can't fix it. They've tried. 6 times they've been here to try to fix. They can't get it to work. All we want is to get a credit for the months that we've paid since we've had no service. Their company policy is that they can only do that once the service is fixed. Which they can't do. It's madness. Just canceled and will NEVER use this company again. I called many times and talked to different customer service representatives. They've given me confirmation numbers. When I call back, they have no record of the confirmation number. One person told me that he could see we didn't have service since May and we'd receive a credit for $260.95. I wrote down that person's name and the date of the call. When I call back, they said they don't see any record of that. In summary....DO NOT USE ADT

HORRIBLE COMPANY. STAY AWAY!!!! Sales guy quoted me $18 install and it ended up costing me $400. Technician did not even tell me the price. Just scrolled really fast and asked me to sign to start the service. Looked at my credit card the next day and that is when I discovered the bait and switch. Called Customer service and they say since I signed the contract there is nothing they can do. Yeah Right. Very dishonest business. Stay Away from this company.

I’ve had ADT for about four or five years and I'm well-satisfied with the service. A month ago, an ADT specialist came in and replaced all the batteries in our system, and I thought he did an excellent job.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and being the best part of the ADT family!

ADT is very raggedy. Bad customer service. I don’t recommend. They cancels appointments on their own. I feel as this is a waste of my money ever since I has had this service. It’s been very bad. Camera jumps on and offline all day and night. Just a rip off but I’m about to shop around and let you’ll kick rocks.

After 31 years with ADT I recently discovered they are an unscrupulous, greedy and corrupt company. I cancelled my service with ADT after 31 years. On 9-11-25, a service tech fraudulently replaced my original contract signed on 9-3-25. One of the management employees I spoke with on 9-22-25 told me, “You signed the contract and it can’t be changed.” She explained that I had 3 business days to cancel that contract after which time it cannot be changed or canceled. If that’s the case, the contract I signed on 9-3-25 is still valid and the tech should not have been able to change it on 9-11-25. I have spent hours of wasted time trying to get ADT to update my security system. ADT employees have made several errors, misled me, lied and tried to scam me. Ultimately, I am fed up with the dismissive, disregard and unethical customer service displayed by management and I will no longer do business with ADT.
On 9-3-2025, I called ADT to speak to someone who could help me upgrade my system to ADT plus. After being transferred 8-9 times I finally spoke with a sales rep, who quoted me a price for equipment/installation of $389 reflecting the discounts he applied to help compensate for ADT’s numerous failures in customer service which also included free installation. He emailed me the contract and I signed it the same day. When the tech came out the following week on Sep 11, 2025 to install the equipment, he assured me that even with the add ons it would be around the same price that I was quoted. Meanwhile he took my phone and said, “I’m setting everything up for you and all you have to do is tap here to sign.” He didn’t tell me he changed the contract; I was led to believe I was signing to acknowledge the installation. I had no idea that a tech even had the authority to draw up a contract.
Subsequent days later, I received a bill in the mail for about $900. That’s when I realized the tech that came out on 9-11-25, wrote up a new contract with a significantly higher price of $2,213.00; dismissing all the discounts in the aforementioned contract that I signed on 9-3-25. I checked my Discover card to see that ADT had billed me for the two prior failed service installations, plus another $128.14 (61.50 + 66.64). They also charged me $1096.34 on my credit card that I did not authorize. The tech did a shoddy installation and apparently voided the original contract I signed on 9-3-25.
Lastly, I called ADT to cancel my service on 10-12-25. I was transferred twice then the third person told me she could not help me and that I needed to call back tomorrow to cancel the service. I called back on 10-13-25. The ADT rep pleasantly asked me why I was cancelling the service. I explained that the system never functioned properly and that ever since 8-13-25, ADT’s customer service has been horribly incompetent and deceptively unethical. She transferred me to the second rep, who was also quite pleasant. She began processing my request for cancellation. However it took 52 minutes for ADT to process my request for cancellation.
I held for several minutes then the rep finally came on the line to tell me that my account wouldn’t be closed until 12-11-25 and that I would be billed more than $2,000. I explained again that I would not be paying ADT anything for their horribly incompetent and deceptive customer service. I also explained I have disabled my ADT service, so I have no need for them to continue monitoring. I also explained that I put all ADT’s equipment in a box for them to pick up. She responded that the equipment belongs to me so they are not coming to pick it up. I told her that I would be throwing it in the trash because I have no need for it.
I am appalled by the manner in which I have been treated by ADT after 31 years of patronage. At this point, I would not go back to ADT if they gave me the service for free. Furthermore, I discontinued my ADT autopay but those crooks tried to bill my credit card a month later without my authorization. This also illustrates ADT’s unscrupulous, dishonest, disregard for customer service.
