I have had ADT security systems in my last 3 homes! In the 1980's, before I had ADT, my home was broken into. The feeling I had was a feeling of being violated, when I walked into my home and discovered the burglary! I have not had a problem since! I highly recommend putting ADT in your home!!

We have used ADT for a number of years now. In September we decided to change our plan somewhat. Two technicians came to the house, made all the necessary adjustments and were on there. The technicians were knowledgeable, friendly and cleaned up after themselves very well. We will stick with ADT for a long time I'm sure.
Peter, thank you so much for your dedication to ADT. We are glad to hear of your positive experience with our techinican team during your upgrade! -Katie

The ADT security system is very functional with good operating and protection features and is easy to arm and disarm away or while at home with motion off and can be controlled from phone app which is very convenient and much less hassle than disarming from panel inside house as you then have limited time to disarm system. I have sensors on all windows and doors including garage door.

We received a mailing about ADT security and what you get if you have the system installed. Along with the Windows and doors sensors, key fobs and the monitoring we were entitled to a visa gift card. After the install I didn't receive the "as advertised" gift card so I contacted our sales rep who told me that because we had to have two extra sensors we were not entitled to the gift card. This is a very sneaky way around their promo! You can have half your home protected to get the promo or you put sensors on all doors and windows and lose the gift card. As for ADT and the installer, we are pleased with the service but stay away from the advertised promos from Safe Haven!! (An authorized ADT dealer) They don't deliver as advertised.

I'm satisfied with ADT but I want a quicker response. When we first moved here, we had an incident with the alarm. Two times the person who lived here was trying to get into the apartment and I guess he forgot the alarm and says somebody broke into my house. He asked me if I want them to call the police. I think that was a crazy question to ask me because the police should have been called immediately if it takes too long, not so though. The person do not want to be in the house if the alarm goes off. So, I want to make sure that if the house ever gets broken into, we and the police would be notified immediately. Also, my daughter thought that we're going to hook up the alarm at the front door, back door, but at the time we didn’t have a phone in the house. He had to put it in the basement, and I don’t know why the installer didn’t do that in the front or back door.

I am a private homeowner who has been a customer of ADT for over twenty years. Few days ago, I heard occasional beeping noise which I thought that it came from a downstairs smoke/fire detector. I called 800-445-0872. A lady on the line told me to get a battery replacement for the one in the control box, which I did. I waited for two (2) days, the occasional beep was still going on but at less frequent.
Today, 10-19-2016, near 1 p.m., I called ADT again. A lady gave me a very prompt service appointment for 3 o'clock. This is GREATLY APPRECIATED. Better yet, technical service personnel is MR. ANDRAE **. He is a wonderful man. He is very thorough on his work, very polite, very well mannered. I cannot think of any more words enough to praise him. He took time to explain the system in details. One of the detector is situated near a bathroom door. It was covered by an orange colored plastic lid. That was previously done by an ADT technician to prevent it from sounding off by steam from hot shower. Mr. ** removed the lid because it would not properly function, defeating the purpose of having it. He taught me how to prevent steam from hot shower to come to interfere with the detector. THANKS to ADT and in particular to MR. **.

Let me tell you about my ADT experience!!! I have had 2 properties that I had ADT serviced. The 2nd property I was selling, the salesman said if I sell it I had 2 options - new owners take over the service on it or transfer it to my existing service and just add on to my already ADT contract. I sold it and new owners said "no thank you". So I thought I would just transfer it to mine. Upon contacting ADT, they said I couldn't and I owed them a $1275.00 early termination fee.
My other house is 10 miles away but I find out they have separate contractors and don't service my area? Seems they contract out these service plans that ADT has no control over. I called ADT, referred up and up! I was sent to Customer Loyalty Dept. and finally the top! "NO Sir Mr **, nothing we can do", ADT is the corporate name but have no control over subcontractors and what they do! So I will pay the $1275.00, but please all beware!!! I was lied to, I was mislead, and I would recommend anyone I know NOT to use their services!!!

I hate writing negative reviews so I am going to try to be as unbiased as possible. We were approached by our salesman Thomas about getting a new system installed. Thomas worked out a deal where he gave us cash to cover our installation and we were to receive rebate checks for the next two months. We liked this idea, it was a bit of a headache getting the technician to our house at the time he specified but we made it work... slight inconvenience but nothing to get upset about, fast forward a week and our system goes offline. We called in to troubleshoot and the women on the other end was not able to help us, she put us on hold so long that I finally hung up and called back and asked for a technician to be sent out. Technician came out and got us back online and we were happy for about 4 days.
The system went offline again... which wouldn't be so bad if we were able to get it back online ourselves. Unfortunately that isn't an option so we had to have our technician come back out again. No big deal, just taking 2 days off of work to get this thing fixed but we really liked our technician so it made the situation forgivable. What my REAL issue here is, we haven't received a rebate check. Everything else, the days off work the calling back and forth and people being hours late wouldn't be SO bad, but the rebate situation is the icing on the cake. That makes everything else a real problem. I tried to track the rebates and it states we do not have ANY? We were offered a rebate for the first 2 months and then a 3rd one for the trouble we were experiencing, I thought that was very upstanding.
The system is working as it should be now thanks to our technician. I can't complain about the system itself. I can complain about the shady dealings of the contract to begin with, I should have known better and saw the red flag but I really liked Thomas, he was a good salesman! He is everything a salesman should be. Half truths, vague dealings and promises he couldn't keep. If you are in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and you decided to go with ADT, I won't discourage you. I will discourage you from accepting rebates or cash from ANY dealer unless you have it in writing!

I am and have always been extremely satisfied with my alarm systems from ADT. The installation went extremely well, the installer was very knowledgeable and personable. He explained the system after installation. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that there is no Owner's Manual/Instruction Manual with this system. It isn't a complicated system, but a manual is a good reference source if you need it. I have a feeling this updated version will do many things the installer and I didn't go over.

The rep who came to install my system advised the pulse option would be $5 more per month, the option actually raised the price by over $20.00. He advised I would get docusign papers in my email, in my industry this means it will be sent for review, I would initial or agree to terms and return. He added my initials to everything and never mentioned the price jump from $27.99 to $52.00 per month. Not being upfront about this is dishonest and I would expect better from a security company.

I had ADT for over a year at my business. All was great until I moved the business and no longer needed the service. I went to cancel my service then I get a bill of almost $1,000 for cancellation fee with ADT saying I had a contract. I did not recall signing any contract. After numerous calls (not to mention them transferring me 3-4 times every time I called before they could get me the right person) they were finally sending me a copy of my contract. A few days later I find a contract in my mailbox from ADT but it is not my contract. It is somebody else's contract with their private information on it that was sent to me that I now had. This was almost funny with ADT being a security company and all. Then after another call (transferred again numerous times) they are supposed to send me the correct contract. Then I get a letter stating they could not locate a copy of my contract.
During this time I also get a email for a survey to fill out for ADT which I did complete and send. At the end it asked me if I would like to be contacted by a ADT representative for my issues. I answered yes and filled in my contact information hoping someone from the company would call and try to straighten this out. But nobody ever attempted to contact me, which was not surprising with the extreme lack of customer service with this company. So again calling ADT and being transferred several times the lady says she cannot locate a copy of my contract. I then give her my account number again and she says that I am showing a zero dollar balance but still no contract either and she could not explain what was going on. So since she said it was a zero balance and could not find a contract I left it alone. Then yesterday 10/18/2016 I get a letter from a law firm that has been engaged to collect the money!
This is the most disorganized, unhelpful, and shady company I have ever dealt with. They never provided me with a copy of my contract (just someone else's) and then had a law firm send me a letter to collect the money or proceed further and incur legal costs, late fees, etc. I will never be using them again and advising anyone I know to avoid them as well. Currently talking to the law firm who is trying to obtain a copy of my contract.

I received a promotion in the mail from Defender for $27.99 monthly monitoring and $99.00 plus tax installation fee. I spoke to a rep and told him about my current security system that was installed in 1993 and hard wired. He assured me Defender could install an ADT system using the wiring from the current system. Didn't happen! The tech removed the old system and tried to install the ADT system without success and left my home with an open wall and the old system lying on the floor unattached.
After numerous conversations Defender agreed to install a wireless system with an additional expense of $309.82 excluding the $99.00 plus tax which was initially paid. There was no change to the monthly fee. Knowing I didn't get what was advertised called and discussed the situation and was satisfied with $150.00 Mpell gift card, which I received on 10/17.

We contracted with ADT to come out and install our system for a monitoring rate of $27.99 (plus tax). When the installer arrived, we asked him about phone lines and if that is required. We do not have a phone line connected and cannot easily get one. The installer said, "No problem. We can do that and recommend that anyway." He went through a lot of explanation of the equipment that we might be interested in having installed. We made the decision on our equipment and he stated, "This will IN NO WAY affect your monitoring rate. You just have to pay for the equipment." At the end of the 4 hour installation, he went over 2 forms with us: one called "Thorough Protection Plan" and the second was the Credit Card Authorization for the equipment payment. He then said, he would activate the system and would need me to state my name into the phone to complete the activation.
He said, "you will have several emails from us with your paperwork." Then he left. So when I open up the documents that were sent electronically, the monitoring rate is now $52.99 plus tax! $25 MORE than agreed upon!! AND, by stating my name via the phone call to 'complete the activation' process, apparently I "electronically signed" all of these documents so that it appears that the installer actually reviewed the documents with us - WHICH HE DID NOT.
I immediately called ADT and was forwarded to Defenders, the company that actually completed the installation. They claim that the $27.99 is the base rate and requires a land line and that the wireless system which was installed has a higher monitoring rate. They will be glad to 'downgrade' our system and connect via a landline (which we do not have, so would be additional cost). I understand that the different services may have different monitoring rates. My issue with this is the FRAUDULENT WAY in which it was done. There was NO mention of the rate being different and no opportunity to have changed it or agreed to the change.

When I called and spoke with a Defenders representative about a promotional offer ADT was having, I made it clear that I was interested in utilizing the Pulse app to control my system. Super nice technician came to the house, installed everything and left. When I couldn't access my system through the pulse app they told me that I would not be able to because they used Verizon instead of AT&T and this couldn't be corrected. I wish someone had told me this before we wasted everyone's time. I am now uninstalling my system and going with their competitor.

Called on an ADT promotion. Company came out and refused to honor the promotion. After two-and-a-half hours of having the salesman in my home and talking to 3 different managers they agreed to do half the promotion. Salesman was supposed to come back the second day to finish installing since he did not have enough time to install the first night due to him being on the phone for two and a half hours over the promotion. Overnight dealing with ADT found out there were more lies that were told and the contractor that was out there refused to install ADT promoted products. Ended up canceling contract and had them remove everything that they put in my house.

I have had an account with ADT for almost 8 years. When I recently called them about a issue they tested the service and I learned that they have not received any communication from my system for almost 3 years. Never was I contacted that there was a problem. Can you imagine my home was not monitored for that long but they accepted my payment of 50+ dollars per month to not provide service. That is frightening! I had no indication that my home was not monitored. To add insult to injury they sent someone to my home to fix the problem never stating there was a fee unless I upgraded.
When the service person came to my home a week later I was informed his services would cost 150.00+ to connect the service. I did not accept his services as I already felt taken advantage of. I have contacted with another provider with more services for a cheaper rate. They (ADT) would not even refund the recent payment for next month let alone try to rectify the near 1,800.00 dollars I spent on no service. Do not use ADT!

ADT is literally the worst company I have ever worked with in my entire life. They quoted me the wrong date of installation, the wrong price and wasted two hours of my time while I was at work. They assured me I would receive an email detailing my services - that never came. I called THEM, rather than the other way around, to confirm the technician would be there the next day however they said they didn't have it in their system. I was then given a new date and time. Then to my surprise, I get a call the next morning saying the technicians were at my house, while I wasn't even there. Not only should they have not been there, they spoke in circles about the layout of where the system would be installed and said it would be $48.99 when I was told it would be $36.99.
In addition, they told me the only place I could set up my key pad was upstairs in my bedroom, not on the main floor like previously discussed. If you have time to waste, want to be ripped off, run up and down your stairs to disarm your alarm and awful customer service - then ADT is the company for you. This experience was so incredibly horrendous, I had to ask the technicians to leave my house. NEVER EVER using this company as long as I live. Absolutely TERRIBLE.

Everything has always worked properly and if we've ever had a problem, we've called them and they’ve come right out. One time we had an electrical storm and it did some damage to the power and they came right out and fixed it without any problems whatsoever. So far everybody has been very nice, informative, and helpful. When we built the latest house, they came out and told us what they recommended and we agreed with everything they said that we needed. We may have even added a little bit more and we have several windows that are quite high off the ground but I still wanted everything to be covered.

I used to love ADT and thought they did a phenomenal job from the technicians going the extra mile to help you out, to the customer service reps on the phone following up other area reps to make sure my need was met. The equipment and install job was impeccable for six years that I had service with them through a hardwired system. Then, in January 2015, the third floor condo had a hot water heater bust and the water damage traveled to my unit on the ground floor and destroyed my hardwood floors, which in turn, caused repairs to include taking out the previous hard-wired ADT system. That, my friends, is when it all went downhill. When ADT tried to adamantly tell me that they don't do hard-wired systems anymore, but that they've switched to the CRAP-tastic wireless base. I can't even BEGIN to describe all of the issues we had with the "new and improved" system.
From DAY ONE, it never worked and I was constantly calling service technicians out but they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. I'd beg every time to be switched back to hard-wire and they'd say there's no way that there'd be wires across our floors at this point with the new floors in. Lo and behold, a wonderful technician is sent to us as another last attempt to figure out our connection issue, and the technician actually says that HE DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE SYSTEM TO ANYONE AND THAT HE REVIEWED IT NEGATIVELY WHEN IT WAS IN BETA TESTING. Even ADT's own employees KNOW it's a piece of crap! The one good thing that has come out of all of this, has been that this gentleman pieced together a hard-wired base to the wireless pieces and it has been brilliant ever since. That is just the equipment issue.
The other main reason why I am so livid with this company and think they need to be fined just like Comcast, is because they have repeatedly messed up my bill, overcharged me, and totally LIED to me when I can show PROOF of why I should be charged or should be refunded. Their bills are NOT transparent, so the customer often times is not able to clearly read where the charges are coming from. Once you get past the initial setup, my experience with the automatic billing has been fine, but I am still dealing with unauthorized charges made by ADT to my bank for transfer installation after I moved, and that's after the TWO AND A HALF MONTHS of not having service, because yet again, the install guy who came INSTALLED it incorrectly! Apparently, they contract installers out who aren't always up to date on all of the equipment nor know how to operate it. It's ridiculous!
I'm so sick and tired of paying for services that I don't receive or when I receive them, it's wrong! We literally had THREE technicians come out in one day because the initial install was not done correctly, so the system kept beeping. ADT needs to be held accountable for their shady billing system and WORSE than poor training of their installers!

So last July after 20 or 30 years with ADT I determined what it was costing me was not worth the benefit I was receiving. So I called ADT and canceled my subscription. I was told there would be a waiting period to cancel because of the way that you billed so I paid the additional time for the bill to cancel. Next you sent me an offer to install a new system, give me more sensors and reactivate the system. Also you would give me a $100.00 VISA card and charge me $19.95 a month for the first year. Gave it a lot of thought. Sounded good to add to my present system with an additional set of sensors which would double my sensors and still cost me less. So I called and we set up an appointment.
When he got here he told me my old sensors would not work with the new system so I was right back to the size I started with. Then he did not tell me that in order to get the $19.95 a month I had to get the landline. That may have been I found out later because it was two different companies. That did not bother me because I had a land line up until then. He installed the new system and left. I now had a system basically like I had except now instead of paying $30.00 a month I was going to be charged $50.00 a month. So you can see how ahead of the game I was getting.
Then I got the bill for $50.00 a month with no discount. Back on the phone. This was an experience. I talked with the guy and he said no problem but had to connect me to someone else first. When he did I ended up on hold. That was for over a half an hour before I hung up and called back again. This time I got a woman. After explaining my situation to her she informed me I could not do the discount. We argued for a little while. I could not get to her supervisor and finally she connected me to someone else. I think she was tired of listening to me. Just happened to be the same guy I was on the phone with earlier.
He informed me I could do what I wanted but had to set up an appointment for a landline. Also to get the discount, they would send me a check for the full amount of the discount and then bill me the full amount because they were really two different companies. I agreed because I had already had your new system installed and had a contract. He set up an appointment for the guy to come and change my setup back to a landline. That is when I found out more about the two different companies.
All that was left was the VISA card so I printed out the certificate and then called the company because I had to send a certified check and they were going to charge me $4.95 for the card. Also found out that this was a third company I was dealing with. Again after more than a half hour on the phone, I got the girl to waive the fee so hopefully someday I will receive the VISA card with $100.00 on it.
Then the topper. I wanted a paper invoice bill like I had before and I was told that to get the same thing I had a month earlier, it was going to cost me an additional $3.00 a month. So in the end I now have a $40.00+ system that replaced my $28.00 system that I thought was too much and I still have the same basic setup I had before the deal.
No, I am not happy but I signed a contract and I will honor it. Only good for three years so you can recover your costs. I understand that. Would I recommend you to anyone else? NO WAY. I really feel got the short end of a bad deal. At least a bad deal for me. Your company made out good. This is the short story. Really do not have time for the long one but I am sure you get the idea. Do I expect anything to come of this? NO, but now I feel a little better.

We already had a security service by Brinks, so we didn't have a choice but to move to ADT. When they came to put in the updates, we had a problem with the alarm going off, but they came out a second time and resolved it. The techs were helpful and they explained things with the new one. We have been satisfied with it over the years that we've had Brinks or through ADT. We would recommend them.

I had a home alarm system I'd installed myself, and it wasn't working well. I decided to try something that would have coverage. I purchased live monitoring with ADT. The only problem I had with the installation was that the fellows who ran the door alarms just draped the cables under the house in a big loop. I complained about that and they sent somebody out right away and rerun them all and stapled them to the joist under the house. Any problem I had, they took care of it right away. I requested some new yard signs online and it was just three or four days when the postman delivered them.

I called to ask how to transfer existing services to our new home. I asked if I could bring the sensors but leave the key pad on the wall (to avoid leaving hole in the wall) and they said yes I will be able to use search sensors in addition to new keypad at new home. I also asked if my monthly charge would remain the same, she said yes. The tech arrived a few day later with a price of 48.99 (I was paying $29). He told me he couldn't lower it so I called the company while he was here. They would not budge even though I agreed to leave old key pad at old house only because they said the monthly fee wouldn't change.
The tech also said he could not use the sensors that the woman told me I could bring over to use. He Said it was outdated and wouldn't be compatible. These phone calls were supposedly all recorded. I would like someone to look into this and call me promptly. I also would like to cancel my services (like the tech told me I had 30 days to decide to do so).

We paid $887.65 for the equipment to be assured we would not need to sign a contract. After a year and 4 months of service, I tried to disconnect the service and they said I needed to pay a cancellation fee of almost $1,000.00. I told them No, I do not have a cancellation fee. The salesman asked my husband to write his signature and initial on an iPad for our original purchase of the equipment and monthly monitoring service. NOTHING WAS MENTIONED ABOUT A CONTRACT. Again, we told him that we do not want any installment payment nor contract so he told us if we purchased the equipment he can do that, all we need to pay for is the monthly monitoring fee.
When I called for the cancellation I was told for the first time that we were under a contract. The salesman used DocuSign for my husband's signature and initial to make the false "contract" and put his signature on lines that he did NOT go over with him. We also never received a copy of this "contract." How can a Company that claims to be a Security Company, protecting people from thieves actually be a blatant thief themselves.

And then they will call you and said that "because the letter have an stamp for the 4th day if you cancel it right now you will have to pay the 75% fee of the owning contract," so then you explain how everything happened and also tell them about the phone call and one they said "we don't have anything noted" and two "pretty much is not my fault so either you pay the fee or you stay with us."

We used to have Brink's and then we got to ADT. Everybody we know had ADT and therefore we went with it and have been using it for 20 years now. We have another home in Nevada and I tried to get a hold of somebody from ADT to come out and put in a system. It was really hard, but once we got them it was great. We recently had a break in and nobody responded. After they see a break in or because we called them and told them about it, I was thinking they would do a follow up call like, "Is everything working okay?" We wanted somebody to come out and reevaluate our system and put in some more motion detectors, which they did. But another thing I wanted was to be able to tell ADT who was here and what they did but the guy who came out didn't give out his business card saying he's not allowed and maybe because they don’t want us calling him directly, which wasn’t my point.
There was a time they called and kept calling to try and get me in and I didn’t answer my phone. Then they called my husband and he didn’t answer his phone and then when this all went down, they asked to put in their number as ADT so when it comes up we'll know who it is. So we did that and we're better prepared now for in case that it's happened. We feel secure.

ADT did not meet our expectations. We had a wired, working Security System. It only was not connected. It took the nosy ADT authorized installer more than 5 hours just to replace the central unit and the keypad. He wanted to see everything including the walk-ins my wife denied access. He further claimed windows and doors were not safe (we have double pane Anderson windows and some of the best doors on the market) and THIS is NONE of his business. A vast amount of time he spent on his cell phone and rather than installing the basic system we had ordered and wanted. He initially installed a more expensive system with a monthly fee of $52.99 rather than $27.99. He tried to talk us into the more expensive system. We declined. I was close to cancel the entire installation when he gave in.
After he finally had finished the installation he explained the system: use Stay to arm the system overnight and Away to arm the system when you leave the house, BUT there is actually NO DIFFERENCE between the two since he did NOT connect the interior motion sensor (only active with Away), which I found out later. For our 3800 sf house he offered 1 (one) free heat detector (but said he had to call his boss to get permission). This happened after the installation was done. We declined since we were already 5 hours into the installation and we have three wired heat detectors, but now, they DO NOT WORK anymore obviously NOT connected.
Bottom Line: we now have less security than before: no motion sensor, no heat detectors! Sure, we are now connected to ADT, but how long does it take police or security personnel to be onsite after the alarm goes off? And the $100 Visa Card offered with purchase of a new system? Here is the ridiculous procedure to get it: Make a copy of the contract, get a special form from the WEB, fill it out and sign it, obtain a $4.95 cashier check or money order (shipping & handling fee for the Visa Card) and mail these three items to a P.O. Box in Encinitas, CA. Outrageous! Why not deduct the $4.95 fee from the Visa Card or even better simply offer a $95 Visa card?

Some of the "loyalty group" that I have talked to even have given me fake phone numbers to call back "if you don't hear back from us." One service person "Chad" said he would call back "within 24 hours" and here it is two months later and no call. I called back last month and asked to speak to Chad's manager and was informed that ADT "has rules and procedures and ONLY Chad could help you!" Funny that "only Chad could help" me but he never calls but I have to wait for a call that does not happen!
Many of ADT service Techs and service managers informed me that the "panel should have been replaced" when I paid for the upgrade but no one will do it! Now 7 months later some non-tech says "We reviewed your case (after 8 months!) and decided you don't need a new panel." Wow, and here I have had over 8 service calls where I take time off from work and they show up and try and up-sell me or say they don't have the part they should have or offer to sell me something extra for $440. Amazing they can stay in business with this level of service!

I got movement sensors a few years ago and I'm happy with it. However, the first guys that came here to install did not have anything on their person that signified ADT. I'm a County Sheriff's Deputy so I look for that. I had to call the guy that sold me the system and say I didn't know who they were, and he told me to let them in so they did it. Any workman I ever had come in my house, I always took a picture of them. The only workmen who's ever gotten pissed off that I did that was the ADT guys who installed the system, and they were cranky the rest of the installation.
But I've had people come out to help me to change the batteries, and somebody had to come out and change something in the keypad because they upgraded it. He was really nice. Everybody who's ever come out here has always been very quick, friendly and knew what they were doing in and out. I like ADT and I trust them. I've talked to other security people, but I'm sticking with them.

Every time I have spoken with someone from ADT it has been an unpleasant experience. The hold time is ridiculous. The customer service representatives are rude and condescending. The amount of my bill seems to change every other month or so. I recently found out that I am locked into a 3 year contract that cannot be broken even if I move out of the state. When I first inquired about service I discussed a 1 year contract. When I questioned the representative about this I was told that unless I had something in writing stating it was a 1 year contract there is nothing I can do and I would have to pay thousands of dollars to buy out of the contract. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ADT TO ANYONE I CARE ABOUT.

ADT home security misrepresents their pricing and lies about the discount you'll get on your homeowner's insurance. The installer who came to our house talked about windows and doors that were "high threats" but never mentions that adding windows and doors above the basic package—which was never fully explained—racks up huge equipment costs. The installer unsuccessfully tried to sell me $4,000 worth of extra equipment. He constantly tried up sell me during the entire installation, often using the used car salesman gimmick of saying, "Let me call my manager and see what I can do for you." He said three time, "By adding the smoke detector, you'll get a 20% discount on your homeowner's insurance." My Safeco home insurance rep said, "I don't know why they keep telling people they'll get those discounts. It's not true." I got a total discount from Safeco of $16 on my $1,054 homeowner's policy. ADT's business practices are slimy.

It concerns me that if I'm home asleep and someone comes through the door, I won't know because the alarm does not sound off. I believe it still counts down the time to punch in my code but no sound is made.

Then What a silly idea to have a remote disable that when you use the disable it is so loud it wakes the household when it is after hours. And among other things it simply appears that ADT has made this process so easy if you wish to call it that for the consumer but it's really easy for the install process.

ADT did add an additional camera to the front of the house; but not the rear of the house. The one camera in the back only covers the back patio door. I have a stairway leading to my basement entrance, which is not covered by a camera.
Original Review: Sept. 29, 2016
I have been happy with the service from ADT so far; after 7 months of service. The salesman/installer mislead me by stating one outdoor camera would cover the entire front of my home and one would cover the rear. I found out later that the maximum distance for their cameras is 15 feet. Coverage area of the video cameras would have affected my decision on agreeing to install the system that I have. Not happy about being misinformed.

I moved to Knoxville over a year ago. The home that I purchased had in place an aged, wired-in, non-functional security system. Being unfamiliar with my new environs, I felt a certain anxiety living here alone, dog notwithstanding. Shortly after moving in I was contacted by an ADT rep. He gave a very clear and concise explanation of ADT services and did not apply any pressure for me to sign up, which I appreciated. After I selected the plan best for my needs, the rep installed the wireless equipment. In just a few hours the alarm system was up and running.
For over a year I have enjoyed the peace of mind that comes from using the ADT service. The equipment and wireless connections to ADT monitoring have passed every test that I have made. I can check the status of my home security through the app on my phone, which is wonderfully reassuring when I am not at home and particularly when I am traveling. Best of all, I can sleep soundly in my own bed. Thanks, ADT!

I first registered with ADT in October of 2015. Myself and my girlfriend were satisfied with the service and decided we wanted to continue with the service when we moved in June of 2016. My girlfriend called ADT to notify them that we were moving and inquire about moving services. Apparently, ADT does not "move" a service, the existing service has to be cancelled and a new contract must be started up. We thought this was a bizarre system, however decided that we enjoyed the service and decided to go with it. My girlfriend set up a date with ADT to install the new service to our new place and was reassured that there would be no extra charges and that the billing would be the same as our previous (where our monthly bill would be taken directly from my credit card).
Our ADT system was installed and everything seemed to be great, until we received a letter in the mail a few months later stating that we owed ADT a total of $278.00!!! My girlfriend called in and they said that we were still getting charged to my credit card for our previous alarm system and that our new systems bills were in fact not being taken from my credit card. We immediately paid the current balance and ADT customer service apologized for their mess-up and said to my girlfriend that the old service was now cancelled and to have myself (the account holder) to call the financial department to receive my refund for the old system we were still getting charged monthly for.
Although very inconvenient, I called customer service to receive my refund, only to have a very rude agent named Julie tell me that the old account was still not cancelled and that they would not refund me for it because our new service is under my girlfriend's name and not mine like the previous one was. I asked to speak to her supervisor and while I was put on hold the line was disconnected! I then got a call back saying that the account was canceled but that I still wouldn't be issued a refund. I then asked ONCE AGAIN to speak to the supervisor and they put me on hold only to a dead end mailbox asking for the mailbox number that he never gave me!!!
ADT doesn't to a good job at protecting your property as they're the ones robbing you!!! The second this "new" contract is up we will be cancelling our services with this terrible company.

Not only is ADT on everybody’s lawn in my neighborhood, but it's on TV. It's over 100 years old and it's not far from my visual sight. I was more concerned that it was a company that was around for a long time and that it would be around for a long time and that it had national coverage. One of my friends' husband owns an alarm system, but it's just him and I wasn’t comfortable with that. When I first called because I was robbed that day, it was horrible. Then it happened again. The thief walked in because I'd just gone out to the store for 10 minutes literally a block from my house and he was watching my house.
I called the three different companies in the area and they gave me their quotes of hundreds and hundreds of dollars upfront to just put the stuff in. ADT seemed to take that $99 installation and give me a $100 gift card and everything was there. It's just a couple of dollars more a month. I'm also a senior, so I talked to a supervisor who gave me the fire package. I had to ask for it since I'm not getting more unless I ask. Setting up the device isn't rocket science anymore. It's just drilling in holes and all that wire that has to be put in, then they told me the best place to put them and it was good for my needs.
I called ADT when I was going away to let them know that I was going to be gone and my son had the code to get in the house, so if anything happens my children would notify me. They were very responsive to that. I also had another attempted break in so I made sure that they knew about that. I've told every one of my friends who don’t have it or don’t use it that they're out of their mind if they don’t have that.

My only complaint was the lady who took my call at 3 a.m. at your call center and steered me to my cable provider which was a waste of time, and was not correct. I had to call back to ADT. I think next time I have a problem I will call during day time hours. But the service call was responded timely after I called back.
Hello Vickie. Thank you for your review and I'm sorry to hear about that experience with the representative. If you come across a similar situation again, please let us know so we can help address it. -Andrew

We had problems installing batteries sent to us by ADT. Our issue was quickly rectified by the ADT serviceman who came out and explained the problem we were having. ADT was very prompt with the service call.

Being a new customer, I should have been provided with a Yard Sign depicting my home is protected by ADT, and a remote control. Sorry to say no Yard Sign or remote control was provided.
Hello William. I apologize for these concerns. If a remote was not part of the contract then you would have to pay additional for it. In regards to the yard sign, you can request one to be mailed to you via MYADT.com. You can also request window decals from their as well. If you have trouble accessing MyADT.com, please call us at 1-800-238-2727 for further assistance. Thank you. -Andrew
