I am very angry with ADT service . cheater, ADT IS a big cheater. it is hard to cancel their service. It is hard ,difficult to cancellation, thay are cheater. I have use ADT for more than 5 years and recently I'd like to cancel it, but It always let you stay online , no one respond you ,just ask you wait wait wait. shit! ADT, it is nightmare

[@21CryBaby]

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

[@ambless777]

My biggest issue with ADT is the three year contract and monthly pricing. I have experienced other security companies at businesses and they beat the price of ADT time and time again. I have not found anything that makes ADT stand out from all the rest to justify their higher monitoring rate. If you take their monthly rate x 36 it is quite expensive. Technology is constantly changing and three years is a long commitment.

[@die4482]

in places like vegas with a no response policy, ADT the the only company that responds with armed guards and with no false alarm fees. every other company charges $60-$100 per false alarm response

Just got ADT for a 2nd time. i love them. they don't play and the cameras are awesome

[@giggityeffyou]

Adt is okay if you wanna overpay for stuff. Their monthly is between $35-$70 for residential. They charge you an arm and a leg for cameras AND an extra $5-$15 per month. Their customer service is trash and you don't always get a good technician. My first day as an installer at adt was a shitshow. I had very little training and oh it showed. I tried to play it off like I knew wtf I was doing but I had no clue. Once I got more experience, I had to go fix a lot of jobs that were done by guys who also had very little experience. They give their techs so much work that most techs don't give a shit about how good your job is done, they just wanna finish so they can get home at a reasonable time. The only thing I would ever use adt for is an alarm system and only if I lived in a town without any better options. If you're in a city, there's always better options. Response time all depends on the police, not on the alarm company.

This video was helpful. I appreciate the organization and clarity of your analysis. I was leaning toward ADT before watching, but now I think I’m going to choose SimpliSafe. It looks like they provide a comparable service with comparable hardware for a lower price with more flexibility.

[@chrism2042]

I purchased a house 2.5 years ago which had ADT previously installed, the seller owned all equipment and was left for me. So, no equipment cost from ADT, just monitoring! The nice 3 year contract! First 6 months was $24.99, then increased from there. I received an email this morning stating that starting Feb there is another increase, after taxes and fees it will be over $60 monthly with me owning the equipment and a simple system with pulse option, no cameras, nothing special. I am ordering a simplisafe with many more sensors and devices and installing within a couple months, ADT contract will be over in July. The irony is, I have a security system but getting robbed by ADT!

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Haha wow what a story! SimpliSafe is a much cheaper option. More info in my full written review: bit.ly/2XAi5ro

Smart choice.. utilizing the prewired system in your home. Still I recommend Brinks through a Authorized Dealer.

[@MyMiccro]

One thing you failed to mention is that it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get out of your ADT contract once completed. It automatically rolls over for 3 more years unless you cancel over the phone during a 30 day window at month 36. They dont take written notification and I spent almost 2 hours on the phone getting passed around from one agent to the next before I finally got a disconnect confirmation. They very much want you to hang up in exasperation before you get through so that you are locked in for 3 more years. It was a freaking nightmare. I will never go back. By the way, the reason I cancelled is because the pulse system only was online about half the time making all the interactive features useless...at $56 per month for flip phone technology.

Why do you say SimpliSafe requires a monitoring plan? It absolutely does not. That is incorrect. With SimpliSafe you can self monitor the system and pay nothing or you can do a monthly monitoring plan. I’ve had it for over 10 years and I choose the monitoring plan and it’s great but I can cancel anytime and self monitor if I wish

[@melissaalbarran3893]

Alejandra, as an ADT Authorized Dealer, the pricing really isn't as convoluted as people may at first think. Basically, if you are looking for a base system, you get the command panel, 3 doors covered, plus a glass break and motion detector for 47.99 /mo, with a one time 99 installation fee. If you'd like basic interactivity, (the app, and interactivity features) the same system goes up to 53.99. If you want automation, (think door locks, lighting control, thermostats, flood sensors, co detectors, fire detectors, etc.) then the price goes to 58.99 /mo for one peice of automation, or 63.99 per month up to 128 peices of automation per month. Each base automation package includes one peice of automation free, (usually a camera) then the only thing you pay for beyond that is any additional hardware you may want. The reason for the cancellation fees built into the contract is because we literally GIVE YOU (with approved credit and monthly monitoring) over 850.00 of FREE equipment. Not joking-that is the the ACTUAL RETAIL VALUE. So, when considering SimpliSafe, remember-you are going to pay for each and every one of those sensors, but I can give you alot more for free. If you are interested in a further conversation, please let me know. Thanks again!

[@giggityeffyou]

Melissa Albarran $70 for an alarm with cameras, locks, etc is a fuckin ripoff... The panel already has all those zwave capabilities and it literally takes two seconds for someone at a desk to turn it on in the adt Pulse or Alarm.com Mobile Tech app. Even $50 is rape

This is a good video, but there's a few things that are misstated: 1) ADT is not a a DIY system it requires a professional installer however, Blue by ADT is a DIY system Blue by ADT is an authorized dealer of ADT 2)Protection 1 does not have the same phone number as ADT and they also do not have DIY systems Blue by ADT offers renter friendly DIY systems that you can take with however ADT does not have systems you can take with you. 3) with ADT systems you can only use 1 app for your system and that's either the ADT Control or the ADT Pulse but both apps can not be used for the same system at the same time.

[@brianpalmer6385]

I just got ADT on June 18 2020 so not sure if ADT had the nice wall screen when you made this as I think it's new. It's really nice but not sure if it's worth the money. I would have to try both to really compare. I didn't shop around my wife just always picks the expensive option. It seems to work well. Sales guy was top notch and really did a good job explaining things but if you have a big house the free equipment will only get you so far.

[@DogManDan]

True professional monitoring is always best. ADT is far superior to SimplySafe junk. There are even better than ADT/ProtectionOne/Brinks (all the same company) but always true professional monitiroring.

[@broadmeadowful]

i just finished watching another video, sent to me by an ADT salesman, that is about Simplisafe's system being over-ridable by a simple little channel changer device. I, of course already bought a Simplisafe system but haven't installed it yet. I am disappointed that this comparison video comparing the two side by side doesn't provide any information about whether or nor either system works!

Btw, the moving policy with ADT is misleading. We got ADT in May 2019 and we are moving to a new house. We called them to tell them that we need to move our security system so here's what they have to say. 1. in order to move all equipment to a new location, we would either need to install new equipment or pay $65 a month and not pay for the equipment fee. 2. It'll be a 3-year new contract. The rep said, the system will have to stay in the house.

ADT is looking shady, I do like POE vs WIFI

Had simplisafe it’s garbage waiting on my refund. Front point all the way

[@April_85]

I have it now I'm thinking about returning it as well. It works ok I honestly don't trust it. Everything is cheaply made and the base station could be louder. I just don't feel it's worth what they're charging. I paid $200 up front for a very small package and $25 a month for monitoring and alerts. If you don't mind me asking what issues did you have?

APRIL BURNETT I stay in a small town in ms they sent me a unit that work on T mobile I need a Verizon one. And their entry sensor battery had to be reinstall by me it said on apply the battery was low and I had to wipe off battery and install it again, u have to bring hub close to keypad to update it and battery don’t last 24hrs only 4.5 hrs once unplug. Will get refund next week

@@journey2credit84 oh that sucks sound like yours was defective or refurbished maybe. I've only had mines a few days so I'll give it a try a little longer but I'm considering life shield. I'm in Memphis sprint and tmobile sucks here. Simplisafe sent me a email saying make sure your wifi is connected for better service but they're advertising it runs off cellular. I don't like the long wait time either it's like once I paid I can never reach anyone. Good luck though let me know how your new system turns out in case I decide to get a refund.

[@journey2credit84]

APRIL BURNETT yes they have long hold times mines was new. If u look at review front point is better and good customer service only bad thing about them they pull credit. And u have to sign a year contract at the least but it’s well worth it unless you want to try ring.

[@April_85]

@@journey2credit84 thanks I'll look into both.

[@montecarloc.7974]

You missed to talk about customer service, how awful simplysafe is, very poor training, rude people who just hang down the phone call, crying babies and noises in the background, not even mentioning over two hours just to answer a simple question. ADT is pricey but you get what you paid for!!

Thanks for the feedback. It helps the entire community.

Estafa dicen 2 años y al final estás firmando 3 años

A security video that doesn't talk about the actual security. How is the response times for monitoring? Who cares about the damn app.

[@chodge8366]

all monitoring companies have to have the same ul standards. reaponse time will bary nases on how long of a dialed delay you have before it calls the cops.

ADT is horrible. I had ADT or about 6 years. About 2 years into my ADT system I changed my cable provider. A few years later I went to cancel my ADT as there are so many cheaper options. This is the horrible part. I found out that my cable company was not compatible wit ADT. So when I changed my cable company, It rendered my ADT useless. I did not know this and they did not tell me either. I was told this when I was canceling my service. For 4 years I paid $45 a month for no service. They refused to reimburse me for the time and money lost. My lawyer is now involved. Stay away from ADT.

Simplisafe needs cameras so I can ditch my Arlo.

[@authorityzero31285]

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Yep! More info about the camera in my full written review of SimpliSafe: bit.ly/2XAi5ro

I am very angry with ADT service . cheater, ADT IS a big cheater. it is hard to cancel their service. It is hard ,difficult to cancellation, thay are cheater. I have use ADT for more than 5 years and recently I'd like to cancel it, but It always let you stay online , no one respond you ,just ask you wait wait wait. shit! ADT, it is nightmare

[@adameisele4360]

This review is not exactly accurate. 99% of ADT customers aren’t getting P1 and aren’t doing a DIY. This isn’t a good review.

[@whosyourdaddy4579]

NOPE! Ain't paying for some "professional" to sleep through the job...nope, no way!
