I had problems with one of the sensors so setting it up took a little longer than it should have. You do everything with your phone and the sensor wasn't connecting to the system on my phone. You're supposed to reset it by rubbing it with the magnet. I was doing that, but it wasn't recognizing the sensor. So I ended up using a different sensor and went back to that old sensor later and used it on a different window or door, and I was able to get it. It's fine now that it's up. If you're setting it up, it's only identifiable to your Wi-Fi for a little bit and then it shuts off, so it doesn't drain the battery. So if you don't add it right away and do everything, it shuts off and then you can't find it on the Wi-Fi. That happened to me and I had problems resetting it to get the Wi-Fi to find it. It all worked out eventually. It was just a little hiccup in the setup.
Overall, ADT is simple to use. I use the main panels to set up my alarm when I leave. I also use the app on my phone a lot. The app is okay, but I have to log in a lot. It logs me out a lot on its own, which is kind of a pain. When you are gonna do anything on your phone, you have to enter in the code. The old system that I had with Google Nest, if you were on your phone, you didn't need to enter the code. You could just hit away or hit home or do whatever in two seconds. It would never log you out either so you were always logged in. So if you're in the car and you're coming home and you wanna turn off your system, you open the app and it says log in. It's annoying.
Elizabeth- We're so very sorry to hear of your install issues but are glad to hear everything has been corrected. Thank you for your feedback and review!

The salesman came in, looked at my home and told me what areas I should put the equipment in. So, I had a good experience with him. I love the products, so far. Especially the self-service ones. It's way better than the traditional product. With self-service, I like that it's more like the stick-and-peel stuff with the equipment versus it being wired and having to make holes in your home.

I hate ADT. It sucks. I had Google Nest Aware and they changed over to ADT, so they gave me a promotion to try it for a year for free. Setting it up was a pain in the butt. I had to call about four times. It doesn't work with a lot of the other cameras that I've purchased already, so that was a bad collaboration with Google and ADT. The system went off accidentally a couple of times. It amazed me because it was in there beeping, but I never got a phone call from ADT. I can go right now and set my alarm off at my house and it would just sit there and beep. It won't do anything. It doesn't notify anybody. I just use it now for a door chime so I can hear what doors are opening.

I contacted customer service when some of the equipment was failing, so I needed a replacement and that was replaced. In the beginning, the process was hard. My account kept saying that it was on a trial period. I kept trying to get out of the trial period and it said that it was gonna be like that for a week but it never got off. I ended up calling the customer service to be able to get out of that. I don't know why their system was telling me that when that was not the procedure to follow. So, that was a little bit not as satisfactory as I was expecting. But it ended up being resolved in the end.

Setting up was easy. There are a few differences so I'm still adapting to it. But it's going good so far. The only difficulty I have is at least once a month when the door shakes a little bit when you close it and the sensor thinks that someone has tampered with it. I just have to disconnect it, take it apart and put it back together every time to reset it. But that will be the only issue. When I got the Nest Aware system, one of the biggest reasons I bought it was because it connects to the sensors they had, and the door and window sensors can also act as motion sensors, but I don't have that anymore. The ADT sensors are just for open and close functionality.

There was documentation online for every problem I ran into with the setup. I couldn't get the door sensors to pair to the hub for the longest time and then I realized I wasn't setting up the magnets correctly. They weren't close enough together. So it took me a while to figure that out. But everything else was pretty self-explanatory. I did have an issue with the Nest Aware subscription. When I called in, customer service did help me with that and we resolved it over the phone. Everything's great. The only complaint I have is that sometimes when I go to my phone in the app, it would tell me the system was offline. I do it mostly over my phone to either change the status of whether I'm home or not, or if I go to bed at night. I don't go to the actual device.

We got a yard sign to put outside out front, but we didn't get any window stickers, so we ended up having to call back and order some window stickers. They made us pay for those. It was $2.49. Also, ADT wouldn't take over our existing Nest cameras unless we got the Nest cameras from them. So it would be new cameras. So we said, “Okay. Have somebody come out and they'll assess our system and give us a price for accepting or not accepting those cameras and getting us a security system.” The guy we had come out and he was a little bit older but he didn't seem to know much about the system. He stood and stared at our motion sensors and door contact devices forever. He said he had never seen one that had been combined into one device. Then we were done in about 10 minutes and we just said that we would get back to him.
We put a lot of money into the Google Nest system and the cameras, thinking, “How bad can that be? Google owns it. We should be good to go.” It was like a long term investment, and then two years after that, they said, “Oh, we're not supporting anymore. Go help yourself to find something different.” We also have a little minor annoyance about the keypad. It doesn't light up, so we have to leave a light on near the keypad so when we come in at night and see the numbers. But the ADT package was a really good price because it was free. Part of the deal was they gave you ADT Plus system with two sensors. They give you a credit of so much money to go out and buy something on your own. So price-wise, it was the most economical thing to do.

I have a Google camera and an offer came through Google that they partnered with ADT. They sent us the full setup package and it's more than we had before. Before, we just had a doorbell. It's nice to have the extra level of security, and the setup itself was easy. I had one little hiccup in the process, but it was not a big deal. It was a blinking orange light. I called ADT, and the guy said that maybe it was just finalizing a setup. The customer service was very satisfactory.

My experience with ADT was annoying because the system wouldn't work correctly, and the setup was done incorrectly. I couldn't even get through the app. I had issues wherein the app wouldn't let me navigate further than a certain page, so I had to call customer service several times, but then they kept directing me to a different support line. When they transferred me over, sometimes they would hang up, and that was me waiting for an hour or two. It was frustrating. When I was trying to change the router information, the app wouldn't let me and it wouldn't connect correctly. I just kept trying to fiddle with it, but I finally figured it out and it works fine now.

I like that the system is modular and that if I left this place, I could pick it up and move it from this place to another one and I'm done. I also like that it's connected to Google Home now, and I like the monitoring because of ADT. They have a good rep for monitoring. The setup wasn't too bad as well, but I had problems with one of the peripherals. It was a thing where I was installing with the app and it wouldn't let me name the smoke sensor or let me go past that in the system. If I couldn't name it, I couldn't go on in the install. I ended up having to call in and I finally got somebody to help me, but it was to reinstall the app. That wasn't helpful because I'm already computer literate. I ended up solving the problem myself.
I went on the computer and was able to name the peripheral through there. The PC-based software worked, and for whatever reason the other didn't. It was a fundamental software flaw. For something main in the app to not work unless you put a name in on Apple iOS, that's not very good programming. I was disappointed with that. Other than that, I like the general setup. I took a camera I had in the hall and moved it out to the garage because I had a windshield get broken recently. With the companies I've worked with before, I have to bring the guy out and it's 200 bucks for the camera. With ADT, all I had to do was just move the camera and rename it. That was nice, and generally, I trust me more than I trust them.

The service has been fine so far. I haven't had any issues. It's just the customer experience of going through the setup and all the back and forth. I was a customer that had a Nest Secure system, and I was impacted by the switch over from Nest Secure to ADT. I was given a promo code where I would be able to get an ADT self setup system at no cost to me because of the switchover since my Nest system would no longer work after a certain date. When I called to take advantage of that offer, I explained the existing equipment and setup that I had and my desire to have the new system be the same as the old system in terms of coverage and what I was getting for it.
I was told by the salesperson that that would not be an issue, and that for all of my existing Nest products, if there were any that did not work with the new ADT+ system, they would be replaced at no cost to me. I'd work with tech support first to make sure it wasn't an account linking issue or some sort of setup issue, then from there, I was told that I would have those items replaced, but I had to sign the contract first and deal with the existing customer support and customer account management and not the sales department. I said, "Okay, that sounds good." I signed the contract for the starter kit bundle.
When I received the starter kit, I installed it and found out that the only existing Nest product that I had that worked for me was my Nest thermostat. My Nest lock did not work with the ADT+ system. I linked the account as I was instructed. I called the technical support folks to see if there was any issue with my linking, and I was told, "No." Those products were not compatible, so I said, "Okay. Well, I was told at the time of signing the contract that if they were not compatible and they didn't work, that they would be replaced at no cost to me."
That started a whole process that was roughly four to five hours long of my time being bounced to roughly 30 different people at ADT and different departments over a period of weeks to try to get what I was promised. I still don't have a great solution on it, other than it is what it is at this point. The Nest door lock that I had was one of the items in question where the salesperson said, "Yeah, we'd be able to replace it, no problem, if it doesn't work. But I'm 95% sure it will work." In talking to tech support, they've told me it does not work, and there isn't a smart door lock that works with the ADT+ system. So I'm just out of luck, and I'm not that happy about that.
My existing doorbell camera and door sensors don't work with the ADT+ system as well. I have to install the doorbell that was sent to me if I wanted to connect with the ADT+ system. Through this whole process, I finally was able to reach somebody who told me, "Yeah, we'll send you a couple additional door sensors and we'll send you the keychain fobs." I only received one keychain fob, not two. I received the two additional door sensors which is fine. I installed that. However, I still have to go back to ADT to ask for my additional key fob, and frankly, I'm quite tired of it. It's been entirely too much time.
The last thing is, I'm an AARP member. At the time of the sale, I mentioned this to the salesperson. He said, "Well, you're getting your first year of monitoring for free. But it should be no problem to add the AARP member discount to your service after you sign the contract." I haven't approached this yet with ADT and I'm not currently paying a fee because the first year is free, but there's been no follow-up from ADT to know whether or not that's even included in my customer file to know if I'm going to get that discount, or if that's something that I'm gonna have to follow up with ADT about again. It's quite frustrating to have to continually follow-up to get things that ADT had already promised me, in the first place, I would get before I signed the contract.

I got ADT because I used to have the Google home security system. They're no longer servicing it. So, they gave an option to buy an ADT service. My first year is free, and I'm not sure if I'll re-up after this year, but I'm still on safe mode. We just have a small condo in the city of Chicago that we use ADT to protect our home while we're in and out. Besides that, the setup process was very simple, and the quality of the system is good. Everything is still working. Nothing's falling apart or broken.

The self setup took 30 minutes. It was simple, straightforward, and absolutely can be done by oneself. The system works fine. One concern I had was the other day, I got an email about a potential data leak, and ADT offered to pay for a year of Experian that offers up to a million dollar coverage in terms of if my identity gets stolen. That was a bummer for an early experience.

I don't like that when I leave, there's no way to pause the alarm. I have to always turn it off and turn it back on. Also, I would like ADT Self Setup to include more door sensors. I have to call customer service about that because I have one more door sensor that I would like to have for the garage door. It might not seem that big of a deal, but we never know. I might have my garage door open or somebody somehow might have my code to get in there and they could just walk in my house. That is an extra safety precaution to me. Other than that, it was easy to set up.

Abbi: We were just looking to get feedback about the experience with ADT.
SAUMYABRATA: The ADT is doing all right. I haven't armed it but I have kept it disarmed. But it is pretty good and it is working fine. I'm pretty happy with it.
Abbi: Would it be all right if we ask just a few questions about your experience kind of signing up and then setting it up yourself?
SAUMYABRATA: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was horrendous.
Abbi: Our call may be recorded. I do have to ask if ADT offered cash or services for you to only say good things.
SAUMYABRATA: No, no, no. It has not.
Abbi: How did you first come to hear about ADT Self Setup?
SAUMYABRATA: Through internet.
Abbi: What made you wanna use them over other companies you might have seen on the internet?
SAUMYABRATA: Because it was coupling with Google and the prices were reasonable.
Abbi: And how would you describe your interactions with the sales representative who assisted you?
SAUMYABRATA: Oh, he was very useful. He was very kind and he was very patient and we talked about two hours or so.
Abbi: And how long did it take for you to get that set up on your own, get all your stuff done?
SAUMYABRATA: Oh, it took forever. It never happened, and I had to get help from ADT guys and a person assisted me virtually, and then only I was able to get it through. The problem ADT has is the software, the compatibility of this equipment with the network or the Wi-Fi,, when you're coupling up with another multinational company like Google, it's important that you have equipment which takes two minutes or maximum five minutes to set up. All the Google equipments that I had from ADT, they got set up within 2 to 5 minutes. However, all the ADT equipment that I had did not get assembled or set up at all because they had issues with the Wi-Fi and this 2 gigahertz thing, and this 2.4 gigahertz issue,
I just don't understand how difficult it is to just change a chip which will recognize both 2.4 and 5.2 gigahertz in a Wi-Fi, the standard Wi-Fi which every company gives. I just don't understand. ADT insists on using only 2.4 gigahertz band. And when the Wi-Fi setup, which are by default in everybody's place is 2.4 plus 5.2, you have to stop the 5.2 gigahertz and only allow 2.4 gigahertz to run the setup. And then only you can get it connected, which is absolutely weird.
Absolute mess. It's an absolute mess. And the problem is ADT doesn't realize that they are partnering with somebody who is really, really good in these kind of things and their equipments get set up very, very quick. And this proves that where ADT stands right now compared to Google. Google equipments, they were quick. They were quick and you could connect them with any Wi-Fi. They in fact took the passwords automatically through the, network through the phone itself and, and they were very, very quick to set up. Two minutes.
And for ADT, I took something around two hours for three days and I was not able to do it myself. Then I had to give a call to the virtual assistants and they came in and then they helped me with it for about three hours or 3.5 hours to get the setup done. So that's, in total, something around 10 hours to get an ADT equipment get set up. Nobody has that much of time. That is not possible. That is just not possible. Nobody has so much of time.
To an extent, I even thought that I will return the whole ADT equipment back to ADT people and just by Google or Ring or any other company, because this way, I don't think ADT will survive any longer.
Abbi: Because it's having so many issues connecting, and like you said, the Google stuff you had didn't have any problem.
SAUMYABRATA: No problems whatsoever. It works quick.
Abbi: Overall, how would you rate the total experience with ADT Self Setup on a star rating scale of 1 to 5 where five is you would recommend and one is very dissatisfied?
SAUMYABRATA: 1. I would give it 0. It was frustration, actually. It was not even dissatisfaction. It was frustration. It's basically lying to the customer that they have a fantastic product and it works well and it does all the good job, great job and all those kind of stuff. And they not only do that. As I said, my first reason to go with ADT was they were collaborating with Google to bring their devices into their software. But the ADT software itself is so poor. It's so bad. It's so pathetically built. The design is so poor. It doesn't connect. It doesn't do anything. But yes, I would say that once the connection was done once the setup was there, I did not face any issues.
Abbi: But it was the actual setting up that made such a problem?
SAUMYABRATA: Correct.
Abbi: .It’s kind of off-putting when you can't even hardly get it set up. And like you said, it was 10 hours. That's almost half a day gone.
SAUMYABRATA: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody has that much of time. Nobody's paying me for setting up ADT for that matter. Time is money. That's the point. Exactly. There are so many things that needs to be done, and it's not possible.
Abbi: How would you rate the overall customer service you received from ADT?
SAUMYABRATA: Yeah, I would give it a 4, I would say. I had issues and I went and I was able to connect to an agent, and I was able to talk to an agent. I was able to get a virtual assistance though it took some time to get that appointment. But I got it at the end, and the person who was on the other side of the virtual appointment was very helpful, was very patient. We took about 3, 3.5 hours to get it through. And I don't know if anybody can be that much patient and sit with you for three hours and 3.5 hours to get a setup done. So, yeah, I would say that I would give it 4 out of 5.
Abbi: How would you rate the overall security features in your package?
SAUMYABRATA: That's a good question. After using it for some time, I would say that the features that ADT has given have become redundant now. Yes, they were relevant about 5 to 10 years ago when it was new, the security system was new. Nobody requires a huge sound that if you keep your doors open for 10 seconds or something with a delay. So basically, what ADT is doing is it is giving you a box which is a big sound box which gives big alarm if you keep one of the doors open or the windows open with which you have those security connections done, and some cameras, extra cameras that are connected to the ADT software.
Now, I keep most of the times the alarm disabled so that if by chance, if I keep the door open for a little while, it starts screaming at me. And then you have to put all the numbers and disarm it again, or give a call to ADT in the middle of this nuisance and loud noise, and it becomes very difficult. So yeah, the thing is I believe what has happened is the things that ADT is giving right now are now more or less obsolete. I think they should think of some more innovative stuff and maybe they should give, along with their equipment, some screens which tells you that somebody is at the front door and show who is at the front door, Instead of Google giving a screen, I think ADT should give a screen and say that this is who is at the outside of the door and how it is done and what all those kind of stuff.
So I think I'll give a 2.
Abbi: How would you rate the overall price you paid for the ADT Self Setup equipment?
SAUMYABRATA: I would say that I am neutral, so I will go by 2.5. That is neither here nor there, but it's only because I'm getting a Google product along with it.
Abbi: Unfortunately, I can't quite do a half star. Would just a 2 work ok or do you wanna put it at a 3?
SAUMYABRATA: 2. let’s go for 2.
Abbi: How would you rate ADT Self Setup’s online tools like an app or website?
SAUMYABRATA: Useless. Absolute 0.
Abbi: The lowest I can go is a 1. Is that ok?
SAUMYABRATA: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 1.
Abbi Would it be ok to use your comments to put a review on our website for ADT to see and to help other consumers make good choices?
SAUMYABRATA: Absolutely. I've told this to the guy who helped me with the setup, and I would request the same with you. Please send these updates to people who can do something in ADT, who can make a change.
Abbi: Your feedback would be made available to ADT directly and other consumers. Is that cool?
SAUMYABRATA: Absolutely cool.
Abbi: I have saumyabrata.banerjee@gmail.com.
SAUMYABRATA: That's fine.

I used to be on the Google Nest services and it was sold to ADT so we had to move. But personally, Google Nest service was much better because the app that ADT has for this particular self-service setup is user-friendly but a little bit behind. When someone is ringing the bell, how you get the video, how are you gonna speak to them, how quickly you get the notification, and the interface is not that great. But overall as a security, the level of service is good.

We had moved into our previous home and they already had ADT set up. We reactivated some of what they had and we had to get new stuff. The guy who set us up was awesome but when we went to do a switch over and then a cancellation, it became a nightmare. We are owed refunds and I don't think we've even gotten it yet. It took so long to get our pay month by month that we had switched to. They need to know what department takes care of what. There was no record of us canceling in August even though in the same phone call of canceling, I set up the month-by-month plan and received the equipment. How could I have done that if I didn't have that phone call? It's baffling. Also, the one time I called, I was on the phone for about two hours and I got transferred to seven different people. And when I was asking someone for a supervisor, the rep refused. We're never gonna use ADT again.

For a modern system, it's not integrated with other smart home technologies, like HomeKit. Also, the setup was not super smooth. A couple of the sensors wouldn't connect, but eventually, I got them to connect. So it's working. The other day, one of the batteries said it was low, and then it just stopped saying it was low. So it seems like an okay system. The new ADT+ system is supposed to replace the Google Nest system, and you're supposed to be able to control the stuff from the ADT app, but you can't see your doorbell, which they totally advertise you can, and that's the only camera from the Nest suite that you can't look at for some reason. The ADT app is kind of irrelevant. I just don't use it.
It would be easier if ADT integrated with the Google app or fixed some of those features. If they had better HomeKit integration, then it would be a little bit more useful. But right now, you gotta set it manually separate from a HomeKit or an Alexa scene. It just doesn't work that well with other things yet. Whereas like the ADT Blue system, there's a little bit of third-party support. Ao nobody is making third-party support for the ADT+ system. It's unclear as to how those systems are linked. There are some backend support that services both. But I liked that the system was self-installed. I could do it all myself. I didn't need to run wires and engage.

The Self Setup was easy enough, but the actual system is just not user-friendly. It is nowhere near what I had before. The transition from the Google Nest to ADT was a pain. I'm not able to resolve it. I lost a bunch of features I had with Google that I don't have with ADT. For instance, when I unlock my door, my alarm would go off before. Now, it doesn't. So, with the kids carrying stuff in the house, it's a pain. They also gave me ADT’s huge lunking keypad. It's gotta go on a counter somewhere. You can't hang it anywhere, so it can't go on a wall.

ADT Self Setup shipped over new equipment. We had spoken to Nathan. I was able to do most of it on my own. However, there were some things that did not work and did not connect with the original Google products. And there are still some that don't. I kept what I had and they needed to send over others because they were not set up to do both. It's not a simple everything-just-works type of thing. But the system is good enough.

When I moved into my new house, it already had an ADT system set up but it was an older one. When I called and inquired about it, they said that with the options that I wanted, I would have to put in a newer system. I like this whole Self Setup thing with ADT. I had one of the sensors malfunction and so I called and talked with technical support, and we did an online video thing to troubleshoot the sensor. It took about 20 minutes. Besides the one sensor being bad, everything's working well. All the cameras are hooked up. I like the mobile access through the app. Even if it's not an actual ADT sensor or product, it integrates with the Google Home. I've got a floodlight camera in the backyard and I've got multiple cameras up around the house, and then it's got the smoke detectors.
I'm overall satisfied with ADT. I ordered everything online. I had used the actual website and it was self- explanatory. It was all good visuals, good pictures and descriptions of everything. They shipped it really quickly. With the whole self installation thing, you really don't even have to call and talk or do anything. If you're tech savvy, it's all easily set up. Everything was labeled in the box, and everything was easy to put up and set up. ADT is reliable. They've called me a couple times to tell me that I had hooked up my smoke detector but didn't put it up and they had called to tell me that the tamper alarm was going off on it. Then they had called me to notify me that my power was off in the house.

My experience with ADT was good until it wasn't. I had to sell my house and move and I failed to realize that I was not near the end of my contract. I had maybe six months left and I told them I needed to end it and I would be resuming it in about six months when I get into my new home. The rep said it was gonna cost me 700 because I was terminating the contract. I told her I couldn't pay that and she told me if I do the apartment alarm, then she could waive it but she needed to set me up. She didn't use the correct terminology that I know now, which is that there are two sides to ADT. She didn't let me understand that it was the DIY side of ADT that she was trying to set me up with.
She said she needed to run a dollar and I got that she was trying to get me into a new system and it was separate from the system I was in. Innocently, I gave her the debit card, which I have a limit on. She tried to run it for about 500 and some dollars and right in the middle of the call, I got an alert on my phone saying, “ADT is trying to debit 500 some dollars,” which they declined because of the limit. I asked if she just tried to charge my card 500 and some dollars and she said that was not what she was trying to do. She said she would get with her supervisor and she'd call me back in a little while. I waited a couple of hours and I never got a call back from her. I was in a panic because my bank wanted to know it was fraud. The rep tried to charge an amount that I hadn't verified or approved of and so I went ahead and put in a fraud claim. The minute I did it, they closed my card out and I was without a debit card for over a week, which put me in a whole new hell.
Meanwhile, I get a series of reps who sent me into a nightmare of more than two hours. I got hung up on, transferred, and lied to. It went on and on. Finally, I got somebody who had some sense and he said he understood what the first person was trying to do but she didn't do it correctly and misled me. He explained that in order to waive the fee, he had to sign me up for a DIY, which then means I'm continuing my services with ADT while I'm in the apartment. Then when I get back into a house, we can go from there. It mad sense and he sent the contract and I signed it. I felt better.
Then I got into the apartment and getting someone to walk me through the process was very challenging. I set up an appointment as soon as I had internet and I spent three half hour sessions with a rep. She was pleasant enough but I don't think she knew what she was doing. I had to wait another week before I got another phone call to walk me through. The second rep was wonderful and very patient. She did everything right and set me up within an hour and a half. The panel that you're supposed to program was not working for the first young lady and the second rep knew a workaround. Once she got us past the hurdles, it was smooth.
But suddenly, I was in my third nightmare, where they still wanted to charge me the $700. I told them the gentleman who set this up told me that was waived. They said the rep didn't have the authority to waive that. I kept getting calls and I kept getting transferred to people. Also, I remember being outraged that they charged a $400 fee to my debit card without authorization and I called about that. They said they have to use the card that's on file but it was a fee that they never explained to me nor did they have the authorization to use my card for that fee. My card was on file for them to use it for the monitoring monthly. That's 700, plus 400, plus 200 that I spent for the DIY.
I had enough of trying to reason with them and I went to the Better Business Bureau website. I wrote a very long detailed synopsis of all the events and I called one last time. I got a young lady and I said I was counting at least three areas of fraud that I was pretty sure would go in my favor. Suddenly, she had the authority to waive the $700 but she couldn't give me my $400 back. I was so tired of wrestling with them and I said, "Fine." I asked if we would be done after that and she said yes. I waited and it took about a week for the fee to disappear from my ADT account. And so I'm pretty sure you're not gonna come back at me for that 'cause it disappeared and no one's come for me since then. But that was that whole nightmare. There was a second nightmare, separate from this one, where I sold the home to a first-time homeowner, young lady, probably in her 30s. And I left the alarm in there because I was told to leave all the equipment in the house.
After a lot of research, I discovered that I was not the only one in a hell with ADT and I find it really odd that their letter grade is so high on Better Business Bureau when they've got complaints. I realized I cannot give them my business again.
Hello. Thank you for the review and feedback. We are very sorry for the frustrating experiences with the relocation and service set up to the ADT+ / DIY system you had set up. In regards to the previous home that you had ADT, the charges associated with $421.68 were in reference to your installment plan and cost of the alarm system you purchased for that home. While the monitoring contract cancelation bill and charges were removed, you would still be responsible to pay for the alarm equipment you opted to have under an installment plan. The authorization to charge you for the remaining balance was also approved via the retail installment agreement you signed as well. ADT does not relocate the existing equipment from the home and customers would need to purchase a new alarm system when moving.

Our experience with ADT has been fine, but it's frustrating. Like if you wanna buy more door sensors, you can't just go online and buy things. You have to call. With Google, it was very simple. If you need an extra window sensor, you just buy it and add it to your account. Why can't they do that? I was also using it up north and I was calling from my house. I wanted it shipped up north because I was going up there, and I wanted to get it installed. But for whatever reason, they couldn't ship it there. They're not convenient to the consumer.
The service is fine. It's just the logistics of doing anything or getting equipment is archaic and not easy compared to how Google had it. With the Google system, it was very simple. It should be really easy to do it yourself. Instead, it's not, because you have to do everything over the phone. You can't ship it where you wanna do it. You can't order things online. It's not self-help. You gotta call and get help for everything. The products are also cheaper-feeling than the Google ones and they're not as good. The features could be better.

For the most part, the transition from Google to ADT was okay. But you have to take notes while you're doing it so you remember the codes that you put in. Because otherwise, you can make it more difficult for yourself to use the ADT+ app later. It asked me to put in a setup pin at one point and I had forgotten. I entered in a setup pin and I forgot it immediately. I was still able to get it somehow. I went through some convoluted ways to find it. But unless you memorize that immediately, there's no way of getting it back. There was no way of anything telling you that. That was ridiculous.
I also think we have a Nest lock. Some codes did not work anymore and needed to be reprogrammed. Those two things were my major hang-ups. I also don't know how to arm it. Partly, because I didn't know the setup code. Also, the bell always goes off whenever you open the door. And there's no way to turn off that bell as far as I can tell.

I recently canceled my membership with ADT because I moved and changed the type of security that I had. When I made the switch, I called to cancel and was told that my subscription was canceled and they were going to close out my account. But I later learned that I was still being charged for the home that I initially had ADT through. So I was getting double charged. I called ADT and learned that my setup was established with a what I call the broker-type relationship. So there was an affiliated ADT licensed broker and I needed to call the broker. But as a customer, I did not know that. They did not make that clear, and it felt like an expensive way to cancel my subscription when I was told upfront that my initial cancellation went through.
I called the broker this time to cancel. But there was confusion with the broker because there was no record that I initially called ADT corporate, so there was no communication between ADT and the broker. When I asked ADT for a refund for the month that I had been charged, they told me I had to go to the corporate side to get that done. So it was just a lot of cumbersome back and forth between me as a customer trying to navigate how to cancel my initial subscription, and then also confusion around setting up my new account. So communicating as a customer, I have to navigate my cancellation journey versus them walking me through that.
I always found it very funny that I would get calls from ADT installers saying, “Oh, I saw you moved. Do you need help?” But I’d tell them, “Oh, I've already set up my account. Why are you calling me?” Then they would ask me if I had a deal, but the deals were for the in-home wired system. So there was obviously communication that I was flagged with a new home. But the type of account that I had, no one had any knowledge of these different callers that I was receiving that I had already got my stuff set up here at home.
Since I switched my system, I am 85% of the way there, following the instructions of installing the doorbell and the little hub. That piece is good. But what I can't quite figure out is how to connect it to my Google Home. My Google Home is set up with my partner's email, but the ADT is set up through my email. So there's some sort of disconnect with the setup because the emails are not the same. If you wanted the wired help, you can get assistance with someone coming in and doing the installation for you. But when you're doing it yourself, you literally have to do it yourself. There are literally two pieces of paper when you open the box. There's a video to install the doorbell but I don't know if there's a call-in help customer service type system. But to have someone install it, I was told it was 100 bucks if I had the wired. But that's not the option that I wanted because I rent now and I don't own my home.

However, the instructions were a little confusing. I had to try to figure it out on my own. But I got it set up and it didn't take a really long time. It's great. I haven't had any problems since it's been installed.

I used to have my system through Google Nest and I got an email saying that everything was being transferred to ADT. So far, it's not going great with them. With the previous company, I was able to monitor the cameras, save the videos, and get alerts on my phone. Right now, I'm not getting that. I'm not saving all the recordings and I'm not getting alerts from the security in the door. And sometimes I lose signal a lot, which I know has nothing to do with the internet. I feel lost right now with what I have. The only good thing is that ADT gave me a year for free and if I like it, I can continue to pay the fee that they charge a month or go elsewhere. They're also pretty good with their customer service. Once they answer the phone, they want to help you.
One time, when the alarm accidentally went off, it took a very long period of time to wait for them to respond. I did it twice. Also, they told me that the cameras that I had before were going to merge with ADT but they didn't even though they still use the same outdoor cameras which are the Google cameras. They told me that I had to buy new cameras and I bought new ones, but the service has gotten worse.

In setting up the equipment in the house, I had to go around the house and find good spots to put the sensors. For the most part, it was fairly easy and simple to follow. It took me just over an hour to finish. So far, the ADT system has been pretty good and I really like the remote stuff that you can do from the app. You can go on there and set up rules for it to auto arm during the day, and you can arm or disarm. It seems like it has a lot of customization capability. The door sensors work but they don't account for doors with a design. They have a frame around the door and they stick out a little more than the door. In my case, it was fine. But for others, there might be a selection of different types of sensors. I feel more secure with the system in place. I also like that in the event of a break-in, if the person who's breaking in tells you to disarm the alarm, the false code "disarms" it but still contacts authorities.

The setup of our ADT was easy, but to get online was hard. I called ADT and it took six days of calling. Every different agent said different things and kept bouncing me around. I needed to go to an account manager who could fix my resolve. It took five account managers to fix it. It was fixed and it took 20 days. When I would call, I would always be bounced around, and not passed to the correct person. I don't like it anymore, so I had to stop it. It's on the expensive side, too.

ADT Self Setup is relatively simple. It's just plug-and-play mostly. I had one issue when I was setting it up and I managed to get in touch with customer service who helped me through it and it was fine. Their customer service is good. The only thing that lets it down is the app. The app is awful to use. It is buggy and slow. You rely on the app to do everything. You can use Google to access all the devices in your ADT security system. You could also use the ADT app to access all the devices in your security system. You must use the ADT app to arm the alarm for the house, but it doesn't access all the cameras.
It's not compatible with all the cameras. It's very inconvenient to have to use multiple apps to control the various security devices. I have a Google Nest camera that can't be viewed through the ADT app. I have to use the Google app to view it through the ADT web. But I can view the Google doorbell that ADT gave me through the ADT app. It's very inconsistent.

One of my door sensors is not working, but I already deleted it from my account. So whenever I get a chance, I try to reinstall and do it again. But I got a little problem. I ordered my ADT Self Setup. The guy who ordered my Self Setup told me that my old contract is going to be canceled automatically since I have this new contract. But they never canceled my old contract. They're still charging me for both houses. From the last house and for this house also, they're still charging me the same price.
I tried to call the Self Setup ADT and tell them the situation. The customer service told us, "You have to do it yourself. Just call ADT and tell them that you already got the Self Setup ADT and cancel the contract. And they're gonna cancel it.” When I called ADT, they told me a different story. They said, "You have to call ADT Self Setup and tell them to give us a call. That's the only way we're gonna cancel the contract." Both were telling me a different story. They never resolved my problem. But price-wise, it's okay.

I used ADT's technician to do the installation of my system and the technician's work was as seamless as possible, at least, for them. It wouldn’t have been as seamless for me because it was all wired connectivities. So far, everything is in place. But post that installation that the tech did, there are a lot of setups I still need to do.
Also, I had a text message come to me from ADT stating that I was past due. But when I looked at it, it was ADT's fault. My credit card was active and my transaction was going through my credit card. But ADT was not able to post it. So I started to call the customer care to address that and they did, which went smoothly. But I had another query with respect to the recording that I have in my home which I wanted to sort out with one of their technicians. But I was there in a call for one hour and I was bounced off between multiple representatives. One rep would say that I am an ADT Plus customer, so they'd bounce me off to the next technician. And the next technician stated the same thing. It went on until I selected canceling my subscription as an option. That was when I got to the right rep and spoke to him about the my concern. They took note, created a case ticket, and that was where it stopped.
I'm still getting a three hours’ worth of recording, not 30 days’ worth of recording as it states in their website that for Google Nest Aware and the Google Nest Aware Plus. There are two types of subscription. The Plus has 60 days and the Google Nest Aware has 30 days. But for the ADT Plus customer like me, the last person who handled my call said that as per Google Nest Aware, it was always three hours. Other than that, the initial sales and the shipping of the ADT product were both good. But why do they have to have two setups on their website? An ADT Plus and my ADT. I have an ADT Plus account but I cannot log into my ADT and that's a confusion.

The setup was easy but it took me a little bit of time to figure out which mode I wanted to use at night. It took some trial and error and reading more on ADT’s website. One of my frustrations is that the ADT app not connecting to all of my devices. I’ve had my Nest doorbell for quite a while so it's not current enough to connect to ADT’s app. Or maybe the doorbell does, but my backyard camera doesn't. So, I wish I could have eliminated one of the apps that I have to use. But I can't because not all of the cameras connect to ADT.
I followed the in-app troubleshooting steps and then Googled more about the problem and saw that a bunch of people had the same issue with that generation of devices. So, I decided it wasn't worth calling ADT because it appeared to be something where the solution was buying the new piece of hardware and I didn't wanna do that. But I'm happy with it overall. I was happy with my old system but I transitioned because ADT partnered with Google and Google stopped supporting Brinks and its own system.

Setting up the system was very challenging. It would not hook up to the internet and we had to split the internet broadband into a lower threshold in order for it to hook up. It took quite a lot of calls and work. I got transferred a lot but finally, the person I talked to at the end was helpful and once it hooked to the system, everything else was fine. I was able to get the rest of it by myself. But people should just have ADT install it. The website was not very user-friendly and it was missing a lot of options that should be available.

All right, ever since I got my system I've had nothing but problems. Now don't get me wrong, the system has great options and operates wonderfully, when it operates. When I got my system the Nest doorbell camera didn't work. I had to request a new doorbell camera and while I was waiting for that the smoke detector quit. I requested a new smoke detector. Well I called and found out that they never sent the doorbell camera. So I had to wait another week to get the doorbell camera. So so far I've only had my system for less than a month and it has not worked completely. The big problem I have is the terrible terrible terrible customer service. I have called them more than 15 times. Every time I have called with the problem and ask them to do something every representative would use the phrase, "Rest assured we'll take care of this."
They would tell me they would get back to me and never did. I have not once got a return call from ADT and I have not once received an email checking on whether my system is working or not. I have not received any compensation for the fact that my system still doesn't work. I have had representatives get rude with me. I have had representatives promise me they would take care of this and that and not one representative took care of anything until I called accounts and billing. So I finally got my doorbell camera and then I had to call five times once a day for 5 days to request a return label and every time I talk to a representative they said they got it taken care of and it never happened. So so far since I've had the system I have had to call repeatedly three or four times a week and still wasn't getting any results.
I finally got the return label for the doorbell camera and now the hub stopped working. Now don't get me wrong. This great system but I've only had it for less than a month and already I've been unable to use my system fully. ADT doesn't seem to care that my system is incomplete and that I can't seem to get any results from customer service. Now I've been told they have to send me a new hub. So now my system does not work at all there is no security system. And I still am paying full price for a system that has not worked since I've got it and no one is solving my problems so now my system is disconnected. The hub doesn't work and I know for a fact because of my past experience I'm going to struggle to return the old hub if I ever receive the new hub. This has been a nightmare. ADT not one of them has taken care of anything unless I followed up and pushed them to do it.
What's making me angry is that ADT has no interest in compensating me for the fact that their system has not worked since I've had it and that their employees have not helped me and I've had to do their job for them by constantly calling and calling and calling. I'm angry and I'm frustrated and as of right now which is 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday November the 22nd my hub is bad and there's nothing I can do about it. If I were to go back I would not buy the system. The cameras are great. The hub is great. Everything operates just as it should when it's operational. But it's not. ADT's customer service is extremely poor. And the fact that they expect their customers to pay full price monthly for a system that does not work and customers should not have to replace devices constantly. I am angry I am frustrated they are ripping me off and I can't get any results. And now I don't have a security system. No thanks to ADT.
Do you know what it's like to call a company three or four times a day everyday for a week and be transferred repeatedly and all through those long calls and repeating myself to representatives over and over and over again and my problems have worsened. The system is exactly what I want but it doesn't work. The devices keep failing. I haven't had a full system. I know I'm repeating myself but I'm super angry and I've even tried to call and ask to speak to someone in accounts seeking some kind of compensation for the fact that I don't have a security system. And nope, they have no interest in taking care of their customer. Once you sign the contract it seems like ADT doesn't care.
I don't recommend ADT at this point simply because it's a nightmare. You're better off getting a ring system from Amazon. I do not recommend Vivint, they are a very terrible company with very terrible devices just it's like the Dollar general of security systems. I loved the ADT system as it's supposed to operate but it doesn't operate and customer service does not care.

Sometimes we receive the pieces hand to hand from FedEx, sometimes they are left at our door, with no signature required, sometimes we do not even receive the equipment and have to call ADT about such deliveries or shipments. If this is the security of my family, pets, and/or personal belongings, how am I to trust them when I can't even receive secure equipment from them. Who's tampering with it, where does it go prior to reaching me why it is delayed, yet FedEx and ADT have a different delivery date than what I physically have? With the lackluster mentality on the security of shipping equipment, I feel that is a lack luster concerned for the overall security of my living domain.
I also feel as if some "anomalies" that happen with the security system, in which you reach out to tech support to search to find the cause of the situation, or why it happened is masked by the excuse of "faulty equipment". We have had Cameras turn off when we leave for a weekend, then suddenly reappear on the system 1 hour before we arrive at home.
Cameras showing in our WiFi system but not connected in the app, dropping connection with the hub intermittently and with ADT Blue blaming our internet connection. And yet the Hub was connected to the Internet the entire time. Or how about a sensor, without any notification, stop recognizing motion in the apartment with or without the alarm set? And of course the app is about as useful as tits in a bull. I'm am tired of having to eliminate variables as to why these anomalies occur myself and just rely on the tech support that want to blame my Internet connection or simply faulty equipment. Too many issues and not enough concern for the safety of my family and domain.

ADT Blue is worthless. (ADT is excellent.) ADT Blue have Cheap equipments. Cameras half the time do not work. Smoke detectors go off for no reason. Alarm goes off for no reason. Police is not impressed. No installer. Bad Customer service. On the phone forever. Then you get hung up on with no return phone call. If you do get someone on the phone they troubleshoot the issue till the cows come home and ADT blue is still not working correctly. Don’t mistake ADT Blue with ADT. We are switching to ADT. Their service and safety standards are very impressive. Do not get ADT Blue. We have a ADT installer coming out to our home now.

I like the ADT system. The camera shows up very well. It's also very prompt for the motion. The installation also wasn't hard, except for the camera on the front. That was because it was brick up under where you drill it at. We couldn't drill it at first because we had to have a bit for cement. Once that happened, it was easy. We had to contact them because it wasn't live yet after seven days and they did it in 24 hours after we called them.

She single-handedly walked me through the entire process. It took longer than she thought it would take for me to get it done but she was phenomenal through it.

I finally reached someone today that said I needed to call "Blue" not ADT. Ok I thought ADT was ADT....apparently not. I was transferred and then hung up on yet again.
I called a different number, was able to get through and the lady told me since it's been 30 days, and no one made a note to my account (that I really don't have because it was never setup) that I would be charged $1400. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and she said there wasn't one I would have to email support and they still can't waive the fee. All in all this was the worst experience EVER!!!

My experience with Blue by ADT has been poor. This product is not worth the money that we're paying. I just tried to arm my system at the house in my car which has got Wi-Fi but I can't even reach my system. The cameras don't last. My husband is 80 years old. I'm 78. We can't go up on the high, take the camera battery down and charge it, then put it back up and do that every day. Besides, if the camera doesn't last for seven hours, what good is that doing? I had purchased from Amazon some Blink cameras, and those cameras last for three years. I don't know why the Blue by ADT cameras only last a couple of hours. They said we needed to purchase the solar thing. We live in an area where there are lots of trees, and solar energy doesn't get to go through. It didn't help at all. The only camera that works is the video camera that is wired. It is not a good system for our condition.
They sent me one of those little antennas that was supposed to help with the cameras. But I never could get that to work. Nobody followed back up with me to make sure it worked. It's just sitting there plugged in and blinking. It's not doing anything. It is connected to their network and if somebody tried to break in, you call the police. But there's none of that because half the time, it's not working.

You gotta be strong to get the back off. I actually cut my hands trying to get the back off the first time.

I like to kinda figure it out myself but when you get something like this, you have to read on how to work this and operate this particular device. For the most part, I'm enjoying it because it's secure. The only thing is I stuck the motion detector on the door. You can't drill holes in it because it's like a steel door. So, since I've had it, that device had come loose a couple of times. If you push the door too hard, then that device will bounce off. So, they're sending me some sticky stuff that I paid for about $3 online.

I stayed on hold for over 10 minutes and then they just hung up or cut me off. This happened more than once being put on hold and just forgot about. Half of the batteries were low on charge and every time I replaced one another would report a low charge. I talked to a customer service representative and told him about everything and how disappointed I was with the system and he said he would write management and explain my situation and request that I be allowed to return the system and not be charged the early termination fee do to their customer support and how I had been treated.

When I first got my sensors from Blue by ADT, I told them that all the batteries were dead when you put them up on your door. They told me they were gonna send me new batteries out. Never did. The cameras also didn't stay charged unless you had them plugged up, so it was no use for me to even hang them up outside. If they do some upgrading, as far as the cameras and get it all the way together, it would be a good thing. But right now, it needs a lot of work. When I called and told them about the sensors nicely, one of the employees hung up on me. But I called back and I talked to Jane. She was nice.

When I signed up with them, it was quick. It was a little hassle trying to set everything up. But it was easy after I got assistance. However, it's still not set up correctly. She told me that I need to connect the sensors. But if I take the sensors off the wall, it's literally gonna pull the whole wall out, so I'm not able to reconnect the sensors. But their reps I worked with were good.

Possibly the most inept "customer service" I've ever experienced. Whatever you do in life, DO NOT get into a contract with them. You will NEVER be allowed to leave, even after death. We have been with ADT for more than 25 years. Then my father whose name is on the account passed away. I even submitted a death certificate and they STILL wouldn't let my father out of his contract. Not only do I have to deal with the grieving process, I have to deal with unyielding, uncaring predators who are still charging my father even after death. Unbelievably callous and unreasonable. Avoid at all costs because you will be stuck with them for LIFE, even after death.

For over 8 years I have been a customer of ADT. February of last year I moved to another location. I called ADT to transfer service. I was shipped an alarm system I was to self install. After doing so I noticed I was not receiving notifications. I called ADT to inform them of this and they offered to troubleshoot which they did with no success. I reached out to my internet provider and was advised that because I was in a metal building it was affecting the signal to my modem therefore causing it to not work properly. I called ADT again to inform them of this March of 2021… Me thinking that now since they’re aware it’s not working they will cancel the service.
In the following months my account continued to be charged not only for my current location, but also for my prior location, because instead of them transferring service when I called they created a whole separate account. For over a year I tried calling to cancel and was either on hold for an extended period of time or transferred to the cancellation dept for the call to drop. I was finally able to speak with someone 05/06/22 that informed me they would open case to request my accounts be canceled and my money refunded since they were able to see we hadn’t used the service.
Well fast forward to 06/06/22 and yet another ADT draft was debited from my account. I call again only to be given the run around and advised they would trouble shoot and we’re under a contract for another year and so on…. I was made to feel like I had done something wrong. I have since emailed corporate. A rep called and offered to finally cancel the service that I have paid over a year for in 2 locations that has not been beneficial for me in the least, and acted as if she was doing me a favor since they was letting me out of my contract early. But No mention of a refund. No apologies for the mishap. No compassion whatsoever. Just complete GREED!!! I do not see myself ever using ADT again in the future and I suggest you don’t either.
