    We certainly appreciate the quick response in notifying the police after the noted intrusion by ADT. The police arrived within a short time after ADT notification and the alarm was sounded. I think that we might be adding a few more cameras to the perimeter of the home.

    ADT is the worst experience ever. I am a new member and since day 1 the service never worked. They sent the same technician twice and still not working. I have been bypassing windows to be able to partially alarm my house. Called customer service in ADT and they kept sending me to the installation company. Then the installation company would send me to ADT. Asked for supervisor and no one came on the line. Never did they even apologize or try to resolve. I need my money asap. Unfortunately I have to give this horrible company 1 star since 0 is not an option. HORRIBLE!

    Response from ADT

    Hello Nelson. I apologize for this experience and we'd like to assist. We've located your account that was contracted and installed through an authorized dealer, Defender Security. Also known as Protect Your Home.

    An ADT Authorized Dealer is an independently owned and operated company. They install and sell alarm equipment, but do not provide a monitoring service. They partner and contract with us to provide a monitoring service to their privately acquired customers and, in some instances, ADT purchases the contract from them after a pre-arranged set of time.

    For these reasons we would need to escalate your complaints through them, as they would be the party to resolve your concerns.

    I will be forwarding your complaint to Defender's upper management but, should you need to reach out to them directly, their number is 1-800-689-9554. Thank you . -Andrew

    Having been robbed twice, we felt it was time to invest in a security system. What a relief it was not to have to worry about our house and garages being broken into again. We have ADT Pulse so when we go away I use my tablet to check on things at home. It is an added layer to out peace of mind. The system is easy to use and whenever we have a problem we have been able to have it addressed in a timely fashion.

The representative said she’d clear the report. About 8 minutes later a Deputy Sheriff showed up at my door. I told him what happened. He said they always check out panic calls just in case and understood me being embarrassed with kindness.

    We have been clients ADT for 20 +Years. In all instances of concern in whatever we have had during those 20+ years, ADT has quickly addressed and repaired our problem. The are ADT equipment we use gives ADT warnings of potential or pending issues that may cause future problems. When it is apparent the back-up battery is near failure, ADT sends the service rep by to replace the battery. When our land-line telephone carrier couldn't or wouldn't guarantee us coverage I called ADT about that issue, ADT immediately offered and delivered a solution immediately. As my family has aged these little things have become more important. We can rely on the ADT system to notify the First-Responders in case they're needed. I find that comforting. Thank you ADT.

    Hello Ella- Thank you for reaching out and for your expressed concerns. ADT's referral program requires the existing customer to register as a "customer advocate" and receive a referral code, specific to their profile. The new customer, obtaining services, is then required to present the code during the time of sale for both parties to receive this incentive. If both conditions are not met, then it can not be considered a proper referral, from the standpoint of ADT.

I also included my code word and told him if he could hear me to please call me back if he needed more information. The next thing that happened was I had a police officer at my door. Here in Alexandria, the first time there is a "false" alarm you get a warning. The next time you get a fine.

    I now no longer have the luxury of a "first time warning". I called ADT as a follow up when I received the letter from the Alexandria Police Department. I spoke with Christopher who identified himself as a manager and gave me his extension. He said that he would pull the recording of my conversation with the agent and call me back in a day. It is now over a week and no call. It would seem that not only did your agent jump the gun, your management failed to respond to a customer. I am extremely dissatisfied and am currently looking at another alarm vendor. The worst customer service I have experienced in the industry. I have been in the security systems industry for over 20 years and this is pathetic.

    My son-in-law was a manager at ADT for several years and I've been their customer for a long time. So far, I've always been extremely satisfied with their service. Every window and every door in my house and workshop is armed, and I feel very safe with that. I also have the horn that blows when somebody cracks the window or opens the door. When that happens, I know how to get to my protection in a hurry and I know how to call 911 once I have the protection in my hand.

    The installer also explained to me that if somebody wants to get in my house and doesn't want the alarm to go off, they would cut the wire outside. But I'm protected against that with the cellphone backup that he installed. His name was Sandy and he was very personable. He knew what he was doing and he was back here several times to do little things for me. I bought a safe and he came out and armed it for me. One time, one of the pads that I punch in my code wouldn't work and I had a terrible time trying to get the alarm to shut up. I called for Sandy to come back but they said he wasn't there anymore. The one who came out was very nice and very professional.

    I've always been quite pleased with ADT. We have a few alarm companies in Mobile and from time to time, we were offered a pretty good deal with them. I called ADT about that and they took care of me. So, they're a very good company. The people that they send out seem to be very knowledgeable, too. They know exactly what to do and they do it. Then they ask if there's anything else that you need. They're very helpful and I would not change unless something drastic happens. I would also tell others that ADT is the best. They don't need to look anywhere else. ADT is very reasonable with their prices, and when you need them, they're very quick to come out and fix whatever you need fixed. I've had my system for a long time and I've only had to have one pad replaced. So I don't have problems with it and it seems to work great.

    I’ve known ADT for years. The equipment's quality is okay and I haven’t had a problem with it. However, when I had to have a battery put in, it took forever to get here. We even said we would pay to have it shipped overnight because we were without a system. I’m a senior citizen and I'm here by myself a lot. They wouldn’t do it and I was not happy about that. Other than that, the overall experience is fine.

    Somebody who used to be a salesman for a different company that I had dealt with started working for ADT and came to see if we were interested. The system has been great, but it has gone off a few times recently for no reason. ADT was very prompt about calling me and was very caring because when the alarm went off at 2 o'clock in the morning, we turned off the alarm and the rep asked me if I was sure I was okay because she could still hear something whistling. I said it was because I was putting my hearing aid. I'm more than satisfied with the service and I have recommended ADT many times.

    I was promised 39.99 for the first year and 48.99 for the remaining 2 years. When the installer got here he pressured us into adding extra features, then told us to download the Pulse app to have control of our system from our phones. He didn't tell us that using the app would void the promotion we agreed to...driving our monthly rate up to 52.99!! Calling customer service did no good. Even talking to the manager got us nowhere. He just said it is what it is. I called ADT directly. They said they couldn't do anything for 90 days, because that’s when Protect Your Home sells them the contract. What?? To top it off, they promised a $100 gift card, which turned out I had to fill out a form and said a cashier’s check/money order for $4.95. Don't forget the cost of the money order. This is bad business. I've had gift card.

    After multiple service calls and a year of living with a system that does not work as sold, it's time to cancel ADT for cause. I have two main issues: 1st issue: The garage door remote opener function hasn't worked in almost two years. I've had multiple service reps visit and it's never worked after the initial install. It's been inoperative for over a year and I gave up on technicians trying to figure it out.

    2nd issue: The external cameras keep going out and the service technicians keep telling me they are out of warranty and to buy new ones at $199 a piece. After buying 2 new cameras. I had two more stop working. So I've gone through 4 cameras in 2 years. Half the alarm components don't work now. When I called to cancel based upon the fact that half my system hasn't worked in a year I get gouged for a $400 service cancellation fee! That being said, it's cheaper to cancel than to pay for 2 add'l cameras and live with a system that doesn't work as advertised. From Day1 I've had issues with this crappy wireless alarm system.

    I've had an ADT system installed in my homes (plural) for 6+ years now. After these unresolved issues, personal time spent scheduling and working with technicians to never resolve my issues, my recommendation would be to go to another security provider! After 6+ years as an ADT subscriber on multiple homes... I would not recommend ADT!

    Response from ADT

    Hello Jim- We are terribly sorry to learn of your experience with the service and desire to cancel your ADT account.

    We have located and reviewed the account. Per our records and understanding, your account was started in November, 2015. We have documentation that only one service appointment was completed in July, 2016. ADT was sent out to inspect doors and windows and, while on-site, relearned the garage door controller. As of February, 2018 no other service appointments have been scheduled or completed.

    Please be advised that you do have a maintenance agreement. If the trouble you are experiencing with your Pulse devices were the result of normal wear and tear, we encourage you to call us and set up an appointment. Replacement of the devices may not be necessary.

    Please call us at 1-800-238-2727. Thank you! ~Tréchell

    The sales technician arrived promptly and was very personable. He listened to my concerns, walked through the house, told me about the basics of the package I had purchased over the phone, and then provided me with his security assessment. We went through each step and he allowed me to pick what I felt was best for my family's situation. There wasn't any high pressured sales. After we agreed on a package, he completed the install and explained everything again. I was very impressed. One side note - when I called to schedule, the first agent should have explained more that the monthly service charge could vary if there wasn't a landline option. That is my only complaint.

    A friend of mine told me about ADT. Their sales rep was fine and professional. However, they could probably keep me better informed of their updates. I had never had an update in 17 years. A couple years ago, someone tore up my ADT sign off my yard and I contacted them because I needed new signs and they were really kind of bought. I have had their service for a long time and that was the only time I have ever requested anything. That kind of not deterred me. ADT gives me the security that my house is okay when I am not here.

    They did a great job on the installation and I feel secure having ADT installed. I was told upfront that the "sales flyer price" was for using telephone lines in the house for their service. The "cellular system" would cost more by not using the phone lines in the house for their service. The installation price did increase due to additional monitors and sensors being installed on each floor in the house, as I was only quoted a price on the phone for the 1st floor. I was surprised seeing a sub-contractor show up to do the installation, but I have found out in the past that other companies do this also. The technician did a great job doing the installation and he explained everything to me about the install and service while he was doing the work. He answered all my questions and did a great job.

    ADT security cameras record for only 30 seconds. After that 30 seconds, it takes 5 minutes for the camera to “reboot.” They do not disclose this to you. My “hardwired” system does not work, and I have been paying for it, for over 5 years. When ADT learned this, they told me, "Oh well," and asked me if I wanted to renew my contract and offered an appointment beyond a month. I do not know how a security company can get away with selling security cameras that do not do anything.

    If you have ADT or are looking into a new alarm system - you NEED TO READ THIS! ADT, the WORST alarm system EVER! We were a victim of home invasion and burglary on December 15, 2015. The Thief(s) opened the door to our house to take my car keys - the alarm was set, but didn't go off!!! We slept straight through them taking my car, filling it up with items from our garage, and driving away. This has cost us money, time, energy, sleep, and a lost sense of security in OUR OWN HOME. I called ADT on a couple occasions to be told that the next level up is the CEO, hung up on, transferred to voicemail ultimately to tell me that they have to send a Tech out to verify that our alarm is faulty.

    Funny how their website say "Theft Protection Guarantee covers insurance deductible (up to $500) in the event of burglary if your system is armed." Their Commercial states "I'm ADT and I am always there". Good luck getting money back, or cancelling your account because they require a tech to come out to verify that any mishap was not YOUR FAULT! When did the customer become wrong? I have called ADT numerous times regarding this issue, and they have hung up on me, transferred me to voicemail, and I was told by one rep that the next higher up was the CEO? Really? Somehow I was not transferred to the CEO.

He replaced it bu within a week it was going off again and he came out and he replaced it with a new sale right out of the box. So I think the first time he replaced it he used a reconditioned sale.

    We had ADT install our equipment and provide our monthly service. There was not a problem until we sold our home. We called ADT to put them on hold until we purchased a new home. We paid $100 to hold our service since we had not fulfilled the 3 year contract. (Which I was not told about - but I will chalk that up as my fault since I did not thoroughly read the contract, and just took the word of the installer.) The new buyers of our home called ADT and began a new service with them. Their first monthly charge was put on our credit card. I could not find anyone at ADT that could fix the mistake, so I had to cancel my credit card to avoid future billings on my card. Finally someone I spoke to, after a month of calling, figured out the mistake and credited my account.

    A couple of different times, we have had agents call to see if we were ready to begin our new service to which we told them we were in the process of buying a new house, but have not finalized everything yet, and our closing date for our new house is set for the end of February. However, today we received a call from collections stating that we owe ADT $700 because we have not started back up with them. We had just talked to a representative a few days ago and told her that the new house was under contract and we would be calling soon. NO MENTION FROM HER OF A $700 BILL GOING TO COLLECTIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT STARTED BACK UP WITH THEM YET!! Needless to say, I am FURIOUS!! I paid the $700 to keep it off of my credit report, BUT they will NEVER get my business again!!

    We have verified that your services were not purchased directly through ADT security, but through a company named Defenders INC Protect Your Home. This being the case, when your services in Texas were cancelled, they pursued you for 75% of the remaining contract balance.

    It appears the new residents contacted the same company to start their service. We will reach out to the dealer regarding this concern to see if reimbursement would be owed to you, under their policy. Should you need to reach out to them directly, their number is 1-800-689-9554.

    I just got my ADT system installed at our on January 23. In the evening we turned on the alarm and went out to have dinner. My neighbor next door called us to tell of a high pitch noise coming from our home. When we got home the alarm was off. Looking at the monitor, it said the zone 6 (Our kitchen door) was open. I noticed that the magnetic was gone. I called the telephone number on the brochure that night and was told it's too late to send someone. They will have a tech out the next day. This starts what I call a nightmare experience.

    After 6 days of waiting, I called again. I must have gone through 4 individuals, repeating the same problem over and over again. I finally got a tech and was told that they won't be able to service it until February 20. That's about a month away. We live in Los Angeles (not somewhere in the boonies). I then called the 800 number on the sign and I got someone who told me that they only monitor the system and another company installs it and there's nothing they can do. I can't believe ADT reputation is in the hands of another company and they can't do anything.

    So I have to wait. I then called by the installation company and wanted to have the system remove and refund me. They replied that I only had 3 days to cancel and since I called back 6 days, it's too late. The last insult was I receive on January 30, a bill from ADT for monitoring from January 23 to January 31 and February 1 to February 28 for $67.12. I won't recommend to anyone to get this alarm system.

    Hello Tracy- Thank you for reaching out and for your feedback regarding the service.

    I understand that you have some concerns regarding ADT’s alarm procedures and why you are not called or you received a recorded message if the alarm is tripped and you enter your code to disarm your system. If you accidentally set off your alarm and enter your code to disarm the system, you may or may not be notified. To further explain this, on a burglar alarm the signal will transmit 30 seconds after the siren activates. On fire/carbon monoxide/medical/or any type of life safety device the signal transmits upon activation of the siren. Once the alarm signal is received in the monitoring center, the agent will start notification procedures of the signal. However, if an authorized restoral code is received, the agent may disregard the alarm and an Interactive Voice Response call is placed to the premise number. This procedure is to help reduce false alarms being reported to authorities.

    If you would like more information regarding alarm notification procedures, please feel free to contact our 24 hour monitoring center at 1-800-238-2727. ~Tréchell
