Review

I think that your system is awesome for the inside of your home, but for the outside of your home it doesn’t capture all four corners of the house so that means the family that is bullying me behind me gets to jump over my fence break some of the slats sometimes knock on my bedroom window, constantly throwing stones at it jumping through my backyard knocking on my backyard door and none of that is ever captured. My car has been damaged twice the tire has been slash that was never caught on camera how is that possible on my car is parked 5 feet in front of the camera. Just the other day white paint was scraped off my car and there was no footage of that once again how could that happen when my car is parked right in front of the camera. The only good thing about your systemIs Win the guys behind me or in my yard or getting way out of control I set my alarm off and it lets the neighbors know somethings going on and they run back in the house. But that’s only deters them for a few minutes. But now if I had to do it all over again I would not get this system it’s only for a home intruders it’s not for people that want to vandalize the outside of your home or harass the person that’s on the inside of the home.

The life of our family at home being on film

I am great-full in so many ways for ADTs’ camera’s being available for us, as they are for my husband and I, right here in Scarsdale. As a mom, always on the move, busy doing something for my kids and the husssband, it gets pretty tuff to have eyes on our three kids, ALL the time. As always, I’m preoccupied with my day to day duties/chores and I can’t avoid the thought cross my mind that maybe I need to run down and check on them. Once upon a time, in the middle of something I’d been tryna finish for a couple days now and getting in the groove, would have to stop, only to be interrupted by a nervous/worrisome thought bout the kids, since, of course they were in the storage/playroom, adjacent the garage and of course I was on third floor, evidently put off once again what I was tryna finish. But no more putting off. Thanks to ADT, those fearful thoughts are not there and for that I will always be forever great full.
So after all that being said I can’t expect perfect. However if I had the ability to actually control the movement on each camera and pin point what I’m looking at/for, wooooo weeee, now that’s when I’d say we’d be talking serious business. But, ummm, who am I to say something’s not perfect? Lord knows I’m not. But who is? Right?
ADT - you guys rock!!!
Thanks a mill!!!!!!

Security system is great. App is not up to snuff

I think with todays ongoing 24hr outage I decided it was time to review the app, while it’s not enough for me switch to an alternative it’s definitely frustrating. House came with ADT installed, but requires a separate router (wasn’t compatible with the Google home router) and required a bunch of little boosters around the house to work properly. Even with all those gadgets, the app is still absurdly slow. Takes forever to buffer the doorbell when someone rings the doorbell. By the time it shows the live video the person is gone. Better yet, the clips rarely show the moment that person rang the door bell. Again, not knocking the security system cuz it works great, but I’ve got 1 GB WiFi with points all around the house, the slow speed of the app is not something I can solve for aside from saying it was installed improperly or the app is just not efficient. I don’t know how it has 4.8 stars, maybe other security system apps are worse by comparison. Today the app has been down all day, with no explanation from the company as to why. Considering I pay $70 a month for this to be working (app inclusive) to protect my family and i, I think it goes without saying this is pretty unacceptable. Not expecting some reimbursement but just venting frustrations at the end of it. Even without the 24h+ ongoing outage the app is subpar at best.
