Look at the small print
Be very sure that you don't miss hearing the 3YEAR LOCK IN CONTRACT,and if you are disatisfied, too bad, pay up, or else. And even before the contract expires, the will tie you up with dates that force you to pay an extra month. Customer service? That's a joke,…

Homeowner
First off, ADT actually owns Brinks security, which is now all but history except for some commercial applications. ADT is not local, is simply too big for their own good. Service and getting out of contract (even when term is up) is terrible. 7

GREAT COMPANY
My experience with Alarm Force has been all good. The free installation was great. The installer did not try to sell me anything else. When my back up battery died at about a year and a half, a technician came out, replaced it under warranty, and did a complete…

I worry about installing myself
I just got the alarm force kit that I have to install it myself since they don't go up north like 45 min form downtown, or 30 away from where the authorizer tech delivered the kit.
The box for the system is so easy to turn off since…

Brinks is Totally ineffective
I was looking at a Brinks Review and came across one which says that the system is slow. It seems Brinks is totally ineffective as a home alarm. Is it true? Have you had any such experiences?

Not Impressed. Nothing but Issues.
I have had an alarm system installed last summer. The work included pr-wireing for an extension. Since Protection subcontracts all their work, different technicians were sent during the install and each new one did not know what was done previously. As a result, many wires wires could not be…

Terrible customer service
Protectron had the worst customer service from day one. Their contracts are so shady and forget about trying to get out early – they'll charge you the cost of the whole term.

Bad company
I was hired by this company for so long. They are mistreating employees and are racists. They are also mistreating customers and are not giving priorities. At protectron, you are responsible to double check your bills because if there are errors they will not tell you. They say they…

Hard to quit contract
When sales person would not give a competitive rate for a new contract I told them I was going to switch. Couple days later I used their "contact us" section of their website to tell them I would no longer do business with them. Three weeks later they emailed…

Horrible customer service
I've been with ADT for a little over two years and while the system is simple and easy to use their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Sometime ago I wanted to investigate cellular monitoring. I called several times, being either disconnected, left on hold for way…

ADT rips people off and their staff are jerks
We got ADT installed last month when we moved into our new house. BAD IDEA, because not only did we get offered the $99 price but they took over $300 out of my checking account. I wasn't home, I was at work, so the babysitter was allowed to sign…
