ADT Security
Customer service the worse
For more than a week I have been trying to get a quote for a yearly monitoring price as a third party will be paying the bill for our security system. This needs to be a written quote. Despite 3 phone calls and an email ADT appear to be incapable of supplying a document that states the yearly cost. The people we speak to don’t even appear to understand what we are asking. Customer service is a joke.

Worst Experience Ever- Do not Use ADT
Got a quote, accepted in good faith
ADT forgot about us for 2 months Installer turned up with partial system being door alarm no cameras no sensors and then advised what we were quoted for wouldn’t even do what we required.
No work done no materials left onsite due to entire job needing to be requoted.
Requote attempt was ridiculous sales rep hated installer both bitching about each other.
So we cancelled the entire job and offer.
Months go by - December days before Christmas - they attempt to charge me $2000.94 from my account on the moni...Read more

Atrocious customer service -
Called ADT for URGENT call out as alarm system was not working or responding to alarm code. The continual high pitch beeping could not be turned off even when the code was entered (as advised by ADT). The beeping was so loud trades left. ADT Technicians refused to assist!! Have been a customer of ADT for over 15 years. Not any longer!!

Very disappointing service
New customers of ADT we were surprised to receive a $500+ bill for a long and overly inclusive (history of the company, how the app has evolved...) introductory home visit, with an additional 2nd call-out fee and charge because the first technician was unable to set the emergency code (had been 'out of the game' for a while - we have no problem with this, but don't re-charge us). No disclosure that technicians charged per 15-minutes on-site! I let the first one do his full spiel out of politeness despite running late for another event! Website ...Read more
states "You have the right to make a complaint and we will make sure you're happy with the proposed outcome before we proceed...". We have had zero response to our complaints about this invoice, aside from a disconnection notice and referral to a collection agency for recovery action. I do not recommend this company.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

got result
Well tried since mid November to get a new alarm system as my current ADT one is apparently worth putting in a museum... ie not compatible with nbn, got 2 wildly different quotes over the phone,, asked for them to be sent to me by email so I could see what I was getting before placing an order. Finally mid December got all I needed from a matter of fact helpful and it was followed by the email I requested.
Having placed my order, I am now waiting for the actual paper workk and setting up of said alarm

Horrible
They were hopeless for the whole time I was with them. They increased my fees without letting me know and when I canceled their services they made me pay for someone to come out and take their equipment

Unreliable system and customer care.
It takes about one week to arrange an on-site inspection and quote. They confirmed with me 3 times for a simple time. Then while we are all waiting for the attendance on the day, the technician called and said he may or may not attend this appointment. Then he said maybe he will, but cannot confirmed, but hopes that we can cancel the appointment for him. We have been waiting for the security cameras to be installed for a long time and here comes this unreliable company. Then the technician went on and said that their cameras are very old and through a wired system that may not work very well. I just feel, F you. Don’t buy from this company.

Terrible Business Practice with Support
At our store we have a DVR camera system, and we needed to login to the admin in order to remotely access and view the footage, along with downloading necessary clips etc. However ADT themselves have changed the default admin login without our knowledge, and to reset the admin password with a security key, they have the nerve to demand a $215 technician charge for a measly 8 digit reset code which can be simply emailed to us AT NO COST!
This is holding a system at ransom, and to my recollection goes against the ACCC guidelines of fair business practices. DO NOT GO WITH ADT! Unless they can resolve our issue, I am keeping this review up.

Hopeless Accounts Department
I am a commercial customer with business premises served by ADT. My previous security company sold out to ADT and I've had continual trouble with ADT'S accounts department ever since. Half the time they don't send invoices and then demand payment for invoices I have already paid. I just can't afford to waste any more time on these peole and have cancelled their service.

Alarm system
I found vicki to be very helpful and easy to understand. she made me feel very comfortable and initially i was only looking at an alarm system for my business but also ended up doing one for my home and cameras. she explained everything very well and you could tell she loves her job and really believes in the product. I would highly recommend vicki and ADT

Requested cancellation of monitoring of alarm. Have not activated the alarm this year as we just dont go away anywhere, so have no use for it anymore. Am satisfied with the assistance in this matter.

Poor communication
Tuesday 10 November, I called ADT Security at 11.10am - 02 9947 7000 to cancel our business with ADT. Our Security system, once operated by the RAA in South Australia, was transferred (not by our choosing) to ADT. We decided that we preferred to use a local Security Firm that knew the suburbs in SA and we've all become more parochial! So Tuesday 10 November our new Security Company came at 9.10am to change. As mentioned, I then phoned ADT to cancel our Service. Subsequently, on Thursday 12th November my daughter messaged me that she had had...Read more
3 messages from ADT. Not happy, she was the THIRD person on our list to be contacted. I phoned ADT and really really complained. No refund, Insisted we had received their policies when system was changed from the RAA. Not so - we received nothing. We had previously had a bad outcome with ADT in 2002 and was very disappointed with their responses then. They haven't changed. Their internal communications are very very poor, their "front office" is not cotacted by their monitoring team to advise of cancellations, even though I selected the correct item on their menu!!!Similar opinion?

ADT Security
Over the past ten years I have developed a strong relationship with ADT Security & Aaron Walter. Recently I turned to Aaron to assist me with the installation of an alarm system interstate and I was worried it would be a complicated and drawn out process as I could not be hands on as I was in Melbourne. From the time I spoke to him about the need for the alarm and the time the alarm went live there was only one conversation between him and I, the process was seamless. I turn to Aaron for all my clients security needs and he has always had the solution regardless of which State I have the problem. ADT Security & Aaron Walter are my one stop solution for my security issues.

Excellent service
Shane from ADT Security came to the office today to install our security system. He was so efficient and helpful. Fully explained and demonstrated the system before leaving and cleaned up after himself completely.

security and safety
I very recently had my old ADT system updated, Abbas and Paris did an excellent job explaining the nuances of the new system , clear and precise instructions, very neat quick installation, Very happy with the service I received . I have been a client of ADT for many years and have found them to be an excellent service, would highly recommend to anyone seeking an alarm system at an affordable price and ongoing monitoring.

Re calling for an Ambulance - where are ADT operators located? Are they in Australia?

Does anyone else think its odd that the majority of the (26) 5 Star reviews for ADT are from " customers" that have had the system for years....I mean, who looks for a product review site and then writes a positive review for a company after 2, 3 or even 5 years? I can understand someone writing a positive review just after installation, but 5 years later....hmmm
2 answers
Hi, my answer to your point. Monitoring your alarm, is a long term value.Hence, its only any good, when broken into. Hence, if your paying $12pw, under a 36 month contract, and the alarm goes off after 2 years, its cost you $1248, you expect service. ADT, are useless, no customer service.
Those reviews are from ADT Management
Althomasked
Why are ADT quoting $1016 to convert an alarm system for compatibility with the NBN when the RAC are quoting $349 and others are offering to do the conversion for free?
Why are ADT quoting $68/month monitoring charges post conversion when the RAC are quoting $35/month and others are offering $38/month after free conversion
2 answers
Because they’re corrupt
I was told by ADT I would have to have a new system put in because NBN was not compatible with my system. This was over 12 months ago and I am still using my original ADT alarm with no problems. Still works and if I test by setting off my alarm they still phone me back as they are monitoring my alarm still.
