    Installation & SetupTech

    Reviewed Sept. 22, 2016

    The experience has been TERRIBLE. First off the flyer represented that this was ADT which it was not. It was an authorized installer, which IMHO was not disclosed correctly and was inherently misleading. Second it said installation was free and did not mention equipment is extra. Third the installer comes to the house and basically jams the equipment down our throats by saying, "It does not matter. I am getting paid for this visit," and as I had given my credit card, I felt pressured to continue. All told I am out $570 because installation was not free (another lie) to have a security system when I had Slomin's already.

    Now the kicker is we were charged 3 months in advance and the $100 card that was promised costs me $6 to get, and it will arrive in 6-8 weeks if ever. By far the most unprofessional experience I have ever had. How ADT allows Defenders to use their name, I do not know. But I would be embarrassed to be associated with this company whether it is as an employee, a client or as business partner. I have never felt so violated.

    The salesman was very nice and explained things clearly and completely. The men who did the installation were patient in explaining the basic necessary items. Only problem, our installation got rescheduled three times. But when they did say they would be they called and were on time. Very satisfied.

    I was the victim of a break-in/burglary on September 4, 2016 while I was out of town. ADT did everything they were supposed to do but because I had not updated my 'contacts list', I was not aware that the break-in/burglary had occurred until I returned home on September 6, 2016. I now realize how important it is to keep the 'list' up-to-date. Thanks ADT for doing your job!

    A few weeks ago I got up, and in somewhat of a fog, I opened the slider and set off the alarm. I ran and began to frantically press the buttons, but for some reason I thought I was doing it all wrong. Soon the phone was ringing and a very kind woman's voice asked if everything was ok. Yes, but I can't get the alarm to stop! In a steady voice she told me not to worry and she would walk me through what I needed to do. In less than a minute the alarm stopped and I was so appreciative of her help. Thank you!

To get "all that we needed" would have cost about $3500 extra. After telling them we couldn't afford that, they "called their boss" and texted their boss and finally got it down to an additional $450 (big price drop - big surprise!).

    I told them to NOT install the equipment until we could decide if we could afford the $450. They absolutely insisted on installing it saying that they HAD to install it because they were already here. We were very upset and felt like we had been taken advantage of - the monthly fee had even been raised to $52.99 to get the cell service. It was a classic case of "bait and switch" - I was so disgusted with the entire process.

    The next day, I called to cancel our service and was sent an email with the cancellation form. I tried several times to fax it to the # on the form, with no success. I then called the toll free # on the form and was told to email the form, which I did. When I called to check up on the emailed cancellation form, I was told that I had to send it to the local dealer, NOT ADT. So I tried to fax it again (was told that when you send a fax, you'll hear music, then push "send" again - stupidest thing I ever heard of). So I tried a few times more to fax the form but it never went through. So I ended up sending the form via USPS with return receipt and signature confirmation on the 3rd business day.

    This was such a huge mess and handled very poorly. I think that the local dealer thinks that consumers will just give up and keep the service, but they have met their match. All I can say is "buyer beware"! There are several other home protection companies that won't pull this kind of nonsense on their customers. We ended up going with another company that quoted a monthly cost, included all that we wanted, no hidden fees or bait and switch. They also did not require any "installation fees" or add on fees once the tech got here. I would personally avoid "Protect Your Home" altogether!

    I had ADT Security years ago and would never go back to them again. I had the service for well over 6 years and my brother was staying with me and set off the alarm and I was out of town. Long story short he tried to disconnect the alarm and pulled the entire system out of the wall trying to disconnect the wires. I called 4 times and was sent to the attic to disconnect the system. Well, I fell through attic onto concrete floor broke my leg and then after calling them back was told by the 5th person that it was right in my hallway and all I had to do was to unplug it and the alarm would go off. I tried to make them pay for my medical expense they refused. So I had to file through my personal insurance and the cost was well over $10,000. I will never use or recommend them to anyone.

"Do you want to hear more - if not please hang up." I chose to find out the information which led to speaking with all East Indian people which I could hardly understand. The call went on and on and I could not stop them to even comment. I accepted the first offer thinking that it was just one offer but it kept coming with more offers and more gift cards. Finally I told him I would not hear any more and he finally gave me a number that I should call to get me back to ADT and the department that I asked for in the beginning. It was bogus!! I called ADT back and told customer service of my experience. Asked them to please call me back so that I would know if it was a scam. Never heard from ADT. I ended up canceling my credit card.

With the changes in companies and the upgrades to an old system we started experiencing "connectivity" issues which caused the panel to beep at all hours.

    Yesterday morning I tried to test the companion services connection. After the 6 repetitions of "Companion Services," the beeps kept beeping without anyone answering. So I cancelled and tried two more times; no one answered. I then called the number. The person who answered said I should call the number first to alert someone that I would be testing the connection. That answer does not make much sense. If I am in an emergency situation, I need to have a response to the button. I should not need to get to the phone to find the number to call. The ADT rep wondered if my unit might need replacement. He asked me to try the system again this morning. I did so, and the connection was made. However, I am dissatisfied that if I had needed assistance on Wednesday morning, ADT did not respond to my call button. That undermines my confidence in the ADT system.

Once, the police were called, didn't show up until hours later, and then charged me for a false alarm. Which, by the way, the ADT rep said wouldn't happen. I asked specifically if we could be charged if the police show up and there's no intruder.

    When I called ADT to clear it up, I was given attitude by the woman on the phone. They sent out the install tech (The only person I liked in this entire irritating experience. His name is Jahmal ** and he's awesome.) to fix the sensor, but we haven't bothered to arm it because I don't want to waste any more money on false alarm bills. I really just hate your company.

    Installers had excellent PR skills. Two things I wasn't happy about is that we got a cheap pad. The pad we had at our old place had voice talking. It was convenient because it would announce if we hit "Stay" or "Away" or whichever entry was open. The second thing is that the entire system is sometimes slow to respond. There have been times where I would open the door, and it would take about 5 seconds before any alarm would go off. There was even one time where the alarm didn't go off at all.

    Love the ADT product and company, that is why my wife and I went back. BUT, the service rep that we talked to apparently talked up more than he could actually do. He stated that he would be able to buy out our existing contract to set us up with ADT. This was before he even found out what we owed. Almost 3 months later, after numerous lies about check being approved, manager approving everything, checks in the mail, we find that our rep wasn't authorized to buy out our amount of contract. His manager was only a bit better on all this. After all was said and done, we got the payoff check, in 2 parts, two weeks apart. I would have been happy to stay with my existing company until I could have switched back to ADT, but they insisted and fell through until we had to push harder. Hopefully I'm not having to deal with that particular rep again with empty promises.

    I have ADT Pulse. We were on vacation last summer and the fire alarm went off twice. The reps called and the fire department came but we hadn’t given our keys to anyone, so we had our neighbors look and see that there was no fire. Sometimes the fire detectors are set off if there’s dust or insects run across them. The sales representative was fine, but the installer took much longer than he needed to. We thought it would take two or three hours and it took about five. He talked too much. Other than that, the experience we had with ADT has been good so far.

    I had ADT as our security provider for years at our former address. Actually ADT came highly recommended by our bank. We called ADT requesting service at our new home, everything went fine until the day that I talked with the installer. Originally I was going to get a camera for inside. I told the installer that I need cameras outside too. He told me that will cost me over a $1000. I said "ok". Later I discovered that for over a $1000 I get 8 cameras. I called him and told him that due to the shape of the house I would need 10 cameras and this is when I noticed a not so usual practice from the installer's part. For 2 extra cameras the price went from $1000+ to $2440+. I said nothing thinking that a good camera system will be useful. He installed the camera system and then I noticed that he sold me a very substandard system, is the type of cameras that would be used for baby monitoring. Definitely not $2400+ cameras.

    He placed the alarm system on what he told me was practice mode. The siren would not go off. I called the company. They send out a technician. He told me that the screws were not tight by the previous installer. Some rooms were left out even though had monitoring before. The new technician told me if I go with him he will fix it. He wrote down the charges: Labor $123 1st 30 Minutes, $31 each additional 15 minutes. He did not completed the charge chart. I started calling ADT to cancel the service that was within the cancellation time frame. I was placed on hold for so long that I eventually had to hang up since my phone died. I called back. I was connected into a dead line. After about 26 minutes of ringing I was connected in to the initial menu. I thought to wait till Monday maybe I can talk to some more sensible people. Was I wrong. In a way a young men was trying to chew me out and then hang up on me.

    Finally I was connected to (CUSTOMER LOYALTY) what ever this means. They were just as rude as the initial ones. Long story short at one call I was given a phone number in Seattle WA. The mail box to that phone was full and I was lucky and I would like to commend that young lady who give me cell phone number to this individual, supposedly a manager. After trying to convince me to stay with ADT he told me to call customer loyalty back. After doing so I obtained a cancellation number (after several days of harassment) and was told that I need to write a letter to AURORA, CO. I sent the letter with a return signature card. They received it on 26 of August. And now the good part. According to my record the alarm system was installed on August 18, when we were charged $2477.99 for an equipment worth around $300. In September while checking my bank account I noticed that some money is missing.

    I called my bank asking about it. I was told that ADT charged me $70.81 on Sept 17. I was also told that ADT attempted to charge me $1465.23 on Sept 18, the bank did not authorized it. Further ADT charged me $51 on July 28, when the alarm was not installed till August 18. All this charges after a flimsy installation where I got wires all over the house hanging, the alarm control box has no door on it. The camera's wireless receivers are all over my garage, they used my bedroom electrical outlet to connect the power. Cameras has no night vision, the field of vision is very limited. The $2400+ cameras measures 3x3" wow what a serious camera. ADT please tell me why I should not take you to court for embezzling money from an elderly disabled veteran? Is practicing elder abuse become a norm with you? Or your installer representing you did not liked my accent? By the way the cancellation number is **.

    The installer (Josh) was on time, worked efficiently, was pleasant to deal with. He did not have one piece of equipment, namely the large Fob for turning the system on or off. He left us his phone number, which we have called several times, yet he does not return our calls. He was to bring us the correct Fob. Also, we are not being charged the price advertised on TV. ($29.95). Instead it is almost double that price ($52.99). He never disclosed the monthly cost to us. He indicated that the equipment installed would not increase the monthly price, nor did he leave us a list of the equipment installed.

    Original Review: Sept. 21, 2016

    Everything was great until it came to getting my two referral bonuses. I assume it was due to the Local office. Kept getting the runaround almost 3 months later... called corporate office and the lady put in my Credit before I even hung up the phone. So I'm confused as to why that couldn't be done in the first place... That experience kind of makes me hesitate to refer people.

    I am renovating my home where one of my monitors is located. After waiting on hold for approx 7 minutes, I called in to ask about having someone to move it before the renovation. The customer service agent began to tell me the cost of the person to come out, how much per hour, etc. She basically tried to convince me that I didn't need someone to come out because of the cost. I didn't care about the cost. I wanted security and was willing to pay hence I made the call. I also asked if I moved the mechanism would the alarm go off? She stated "no it's fine." A few problems here. Can I literally knock off a sensor and it doesn't tell anybody I did so unless it's armed?

    She could've offered me certain zones to set my alarm in moving forward. I will call in when I'm ready to have my sensor installed back in place. At least I know the agent will be able to tell me how much it's going to cost! She sure knew her pricing! As of right now, because of the renovation, I'm not even setting my alarm because the keypad is located (in the renovation area) and I allowed her to let me make the decision that I wasn't paying for a new pad relocation. I opted for a new sensor. HORRIBLE experience. It literally angers me every night I go to sleep without protection. I DO NOT want anyone contacting me to explain how they are sorry for my inconvenience. I will call back when I'm available.

    I have no problems with the system at all. I've been with ADT for several years, and this is the 2nd house we've had it installed in. Feel very confident with the monitoring, and the company has been very responsive.

    Original Review: Sept. 21, 2016

    I have had a couple of problems with the equipment, but they fixed them quickly. The repair technicians don't try to up sell when they come out to resolve the problem. The system is pretty sensitive - one time I sneezed next to the panel and near one of the glassbreak monitors, and the alarm went off. The other day the cat knocked over a small side table in the room next to the panel, and it set off the alarm. But other than these incidents I'm really happy with the system. Their customer service is very professional and responsive. I have no complaints.

    Called to find out if the keypad warns of low battery in the smoke alarm. The answer is yes, so not necessary to change the battery until the warning. Usual good service from ADT; however, rep could not at first find that we have a smoke alarm. (Slightly disconcerting since we have had one since the system was installed; made us think that a fire might not be detected.) Eventually the rep found that we have a monitored smoke alarm, so all is well. Thank you!

I do not recall ever having had a Service Rep come to my address. Any loss of ADT service has always been due to telephone service related issues through no fault of ADT.

    I signed a contract with ADT in March 2016. I signed a 2-year contract with an agreement that the alarm would be set up in unit 1 of the building while the construction is going in unit 3 and that once a construction was done I would get free move. I moved to unit 3 and now they keep changing the story. I asked them to have manager listen to the tape what was promised but from 4 managers no one called me back. Left numerous voicemails. All were ignored. Customer service representatives were not interested in reviewing my case.

    First representative I talked to wanted me to pay $180 to move one floor up the system. I asked to let me talk to manager. Told me someone will call me in 2 days. Week later I call them back only to find out my alarm was labeled unit 3 the whole time. If someone broke into my home the police would show up at the wrong unit. I had that mistake corrected and not even apology from them. Lady transferred me to supervisor Kelly who never called me back. Then I called again. Only this time they wanted me to pay for the move $180 and buy whole new equipment. I refused and was transferred to manager and was waiting on hold for 2 hours and no one called me back after I begged the manager to call me back.

    I called again and the last guy laughed. He wanted me to pay $135 for the move, sign a brand new 3-year contract and pay $15 more so $49.99 a month for next 3 years. Also I was told I need to pay $75 for permit with the city I already paid in March. Now I live in unit 3. I have different tenants living in unit 1 and I can't even use the system. I even tried discontinuing the system and they want me to pay for 3 years even though I have a 2-year contract.

    This company is monopoly and I feel like I was used and laughed at. No managers to help you. Representatives do whatever they want. They work on commission so they are in for the money. No trust. My husband and I were planning to get ADT for business but now we will go with different company. My sister had them for years and now after what happened to me will be changing. So many other companies offer cheaper services and have understanding for their customers. ADT used to be a quality company where people used them for 20+ years including my parents but now after these sales and poor customer service I bet they will filing for bankruptcy in 3-4 years. No one will extend and new customers will be careful not to choose them.

    I've been using ADT for the last 15 years, since we first moved to Texas. We just upgraded our security system from the 15 year old system to what they call the Pulse System and the monitor that allows me to monitor the cameras has been installed now for over three months. They stuck the monitor in an upstairs bedroom, but I had health problems that won't allow me to climb upstairs and stand in front of monitors for long periods of time due to some injuries that I have. I told them before they did this that the only way I would allow them to put the monitor up there is if they would get the monitoring capabilities on my PC.

    However, they could not do this and they didn't change the positioning of the monitor. I'm in a battle with ADT about getting this fixed. I've been trying to ask the ADT guys to help me get the monitor moved, but I'm not having any success whatsoever. There were some unethical practices that went on in the implementation of this system, so I'll have to give them the worst grade that I can possibly give.
