π«π«ADT Security π«π« not so secure π‘π‘ππΎ
Weβre almost to the finish line on this flip thatβs taken WAY too much of our time and now we get a surprise from the thieves in the neighborhood!! Someone broke off the combination lock from our iron gate and came in directly through the doors of our rehab property, taking 4 bags of our contractors tools, to top it off ADT alarm system did not detect any motion what so ever in the property!!! I donβt know if there professional thieves or if the system just really sucks!! Long story short they send a tech out to βresolveβ the issues and find that the motion sensor where upside down! 2 days later after being fixed we have another break in most likely from the same guys this time taking the AC condensers from the basement! Keep in mind you have to go through a door to get to the basement and 2 other sensors!!! Absolutely insane whatβs happening right now. I donβt know if is just us but Iβve had enough of ADT and the south side of Chicago. What are the best secure systems to use and is it worth to get the keyless entry locks or will they get through those too??? I just want to move forward and secure this property to get it SOLD!
