"I responded to a flyer that I received from ADT as I had been thinking  about installing a security system for extra peace of mind as I am a single woman living alone.  It sounded like a deal that was too good to pass up.  I did not realize until I did some research later that ADT subcontracts all of their installation out to local providers so I am not sure which parts of this review should be directed at ADT vs Protect your Home...who provided the installation service but it is clear that their business practices have  common core and most of my interaction has been with Protect Your Home.  Apparently, after 3 months Protect your Home is no longer responsible for my system and after some research I am starting to wonder what will happen when ADT becomes responsible for addressing any issues with my system if there is no local service provider.
Here's an overview of my experience. It was easy to set up the appointment and the installers arrived right on time.  I want to state that my low grade has nothing to do with my overall experience with the installers who came out and installed my system.  They were friendly and courteous and very professional in completing the install. Nor am I dissatisfied (for the most part) with the system that has been installed. However, the reason that I would not recommend Protect your Home is that I  do have a problem with the sales tactics that they use which I have to believe come via ADT and then through the local installer Protect Your Home.  I was definitely oversold and my monthly premium is too high and much higher than I was initially quoted.  I am also locked in for 3 years which is  too long and should be unnecessary if your product is worth the cost. I believe there are better ways to set up business practices so that your salespeople are not so dependent on the commission they receive from a sale.
After evaluating my home my installer did some neat number tricks (this is sarcasm) to give me an estimate that was supposed to convince me that getting the highest upgrade was actually going to be the best deal for me after all of the credits had been applied.  I didn't really buy it but at that point I didn't completely understand all the components and the implications.  I was also prepared to invest in a security system and could also see the value in most of the parts of the system.  I ended up agreeing and the installation was completed that night.  I'm not sure what would have happened if I had asked to think about my options...my installer was a smooth talker and knew how to take advantage of me as a single woman.  Over the next few days as I reviewed the contract and started using my system I realized that I did not need the security camera or the supposedly handy clicker for disarming and arming the system that was supposed to be a bonus but was listed at $150 on my invoice.   The clicker is pretty much useless if you go with the Pulse system and can control the entire system from your iPhone. I also thought my monthly premium was higher than it should be.  I called ADT to inquire and the rep told me that I could return any equipment for a refund for 30 days.  I was also quoted a monthly rate that was lower if the camera was returned.  They set up an appointment for my installer to come out to collect the equipment that I did not want.   However, when the installer came back out he contradicted the information that I had received from ADT.  At that point I didn't argue and didn't want to deal with the frustration of navigating between all these parties so I kept my camera, my unused clicker, and have a higher monthly premium than I believe I should have.
As a customer I would be much more likely to recommend this company if you set up your practice so that your salespeople came out for an initial evaluation and clearly explained the options and pricing. THEN, gave the customer time to consider the options and choose the system that best suits their needs.  Yes, it takes more time but now that I have done some additional research I understand from first hand experience why ADT has lost credibility to other home security providers.  Until this changes I would recommend that anyone looking for home security system do their research before setting up an appointment with ADT based on their name value alone.
Finally, I also have yet to receive my $100 VISA gift card which required extra hoops to jump through in order to have it sent out.  I sincerely hope that both companies consider their business practices and make some changes or I definitely be considering another company when I move and/or at the end of my contract."

"I called Protect America to get pricing from them to take over my existing system and monitor my security system monthly. The girl I spoke with was very explicit and gave me all of the information I needed to compare them to other security companies. I did not go with them simply because I didn't care for the way it would be connected to my existing box. It is simply a matter of preference. I would recommend them to anyone. They are strictly DIY and I didn't want to take on the job.

"OK first of all I never write reviews, dont have the time.  However, the experience I had was amazing.  I mean from when they answered the phone I felt comfortable.  No high pressure, very straight forward salesperson.  I called two other companies and both tried to upsell me from what they advertised.  I am so happy I called Skycover! They did not try to upsell me.  I purchased exactly what was advertised and saved even more money than I thought.  I got a video camera for free with the system!  I have a home office and now I can see what my assistant is doing from anywhere I travel in the world and I frequently travel to China for work.  The system arrived to my door in a beautiful box and I will admit was concerned about setting it up, but it was plug and play just like the salesperson said.  It took me less than 30 minutes in total and was super simple.  I control everything from my phone.  This is the greatest thing I have done in a long time, I would recommend this product and company to anyone I know!

"Our American Home shield warranty took care of the dishwasher repair, garage door repair, but each time they have to come back. The company service is okay, if I know another company that had a better service than them I would be with that service. I would use them in the future only because I don't have anybody else."

"I had 6 security cameras installed...very pleased with the installation. Contractor was on time, professional and made sure that I was satisfied with the work being done. He indicated to me, if there is any issues with his insulation for the next 60 days he would take care of the issue at no charge. I would highly recommend Aggressive Security, very competitive rates and professional services."

"I would say that I wasn't really impressed with it. There were certain things about the service that I wasn't aware of like half the channels, you have to pay money to see those. It's a pay-per-view basically and the guy wasn't all that friendly when he came to the door. He seemed kind of put out, basically. It's like he just didn't want to be there so my first impression wasn't very good."

Security Doors questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a home security system in an old house. In fact, you can install a security system in any home. Some wiring may need to be added, but most home security systems do not require a lot of additional wiring. Wireless security systems can easily be installed with minimal additional wiring, if any at all. Most wireless security systems can be monitored and controlled from your smartphone, and the cameras and sensors operate on batteries.

The cost of home automation averages around $1,000, with most projects falling between $200 and $2,000. The total cost depends on several factors, including the level of automation, brand, system features, home size, and location. For a DIY approach, basic home automation technology can cost between $100 and $500, though the scope and interaction between products may be limited. High-end, all-inclusive systems for larger homes can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, especially when they include smart appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers that require extensive wiring. Additional costs, such as subscriptions for maintenance services, can also impact the total price. It's often helpful to set a budget and consult with an expert to determine the best options for your home.

The main difference between different security sensor options is the type of motion each detects. A motion detector monitors obvious movements in hallways, entrances, and exits. On the other hand, a presence detector is more sensitive and captures smaller moves. A window sensor typically focuses on the opening and closing of the window, whereas a glass break sensor alarms you when a glass is broken.

Leaving a light on at night probably does not deter burglars as much as we would like. While there isn’t much evidence supporting the theory that lights deter burglars, there’s not anything disproving it either. If you feel like it offers added security because a burglar thinks you’re at home, then you can set your lights to a timer so they go off and on at intervals, mimicking someone moving around inside the house at night. A better idea is to install motion sensor lights in your yard.

To prevent false alarms, motion detectors need proper placement and settings. Start by installing them away from pets and windows where outside movement could set them off. Adjust the sensitivity settings to reduce the likelihood of it detecting minor motions. Consider using dual-tech sensors, for example passive infrared (PIR) and microwave technology, to improve accuracy and reduce false alarms. And don’t forget regular maintenance—cleaning the sensor and checking for any obstructions can go a long way in making sure your detectors run smoothly.
