These people bang on your door pushing a "special promotional" deal and identify themselves as being ADT or ADT dealer which I did not know the difference and they didn't tell me.
I let them in because a relative got broken into and the guy said he would get credit if I just talked to him. The security reresentative (door to door salesman) was very fast talking and high pressure. I asked questions about how the system really worked but he didn't know the answers and if I hadn't been so concerned about a break in I would have thrown him out right after he started his high pressure pitch.
I unfortunately signed their contract and am now locked into paying for years for "monitoring" they don't even provide. I looked into this after it was too late and found out that it wasn't a promotional offering but what they do every day and that they really weren't ADT, just an in between that drives around knocking on doors to put in a basic alarm that doesn't really protect you. They sell the contract to the real ADT and thats how they make their money.
AFTER they say everything is free they charge $99.00 to "connect to the police, fire department and hospitals" which is a lie. All they connect to is the ADT company which you are then stuck with and have to pay no matter what even if you don't use the lousy alarm they put in.
They are not honest and take advantage of people. If you want an alarm, my advice is to go to a real alarm company that will monitor and service you on an ongoing basis as long as you want to continue with them— it should be one that knows about their field and actually cares about their customers and would not use deceit and misleading statements as tactics to get you to sign.
