ADT doesn't have any, they have cheap radio shack quality simple alarm parts.

Not the stuff I worked with. I did commercial and government sites, all high end equipment. We did a lot of CCTV systems.

It's the independent dealers that sold alarm system and sold the monitoring to ADT that were cheap. I would tell people not to go with the "authorized dealer" as they were not actually ADT.

I hate those "Authorized Dealers", for some reason they think they don't need to comply with the national do not call list. Of course I ask them what good will an alarm do when the police don't respond to them so their scare tactics don't work on me then after their harassing call I look up ADT and call them and complain about their "authorized dealers"

Yeah they are a pain sometimes. To be honest, many small businesses do not even check the DNC registry. I had one call me, and I enjoyed messing with them, even had one dealer sales rep show up at my place lol. I answered the door in my work uniform.

The local law enforcement does respond to alarms where I live, but then in this city and county, you have to get a permit to have an alarm.

Just calling ADT and complaining doesn't help. Get the name of the offending dealer's company.

Yea, I give ADT the name of the dealer but remind the ADT CS that since the "ADT authorized dealer" is using ADT's name doing somehtng illegal "not adhering to the DNC" it doesn't give ADT a good rep.

Our local police liaison told me they don't respond to alarms any faster than other calls and prior to him telling me that I used to call when I heard alarms from the business park the next block over and it just annoyed the dispatcher that I called. One place had a loud alarm so I called and they wanted the address where it was from, I told them I'm not driving over to find which building had the alarm, they can come to my address and hear it and follow the sound and she refused to dispatch anyone unless I could give them the address where the alarm was sounding.

Go to the FCC web site and look up the reporting number for DNC violations, and then report that company, and make sure you have the caller ID information for the offending call for time and number that called you, when you do. That way the dealer can get fined for it.
