It's not just ADT. We finally managed to escape from a contract with Brinks, after Brinks bought our previous provider, Livewatch, a few years ago.

It was hell, and in the end they made us sign a bunch of shit via docusign (!), and even then you're forced to pay for 30 days more service while they bombard you with scaremails.

Never again.

ADT, Brinks, and Vivint are the three shitty horsemen of the home security industry.

Simplysafe. At least their you can't disable their current generation of alarms with a $3 transmitter. Criminally negligent but oh well.
