The Vivint reps were here and installed the security system. It went in fast and easy. The system does what it's expected to do and it's also very easy to maintain. It takes care of itself and I don't have to do a whole lot. The alarm works every time I turn it on and off and I haven't had any problems with it. Also, if I needed anything, I called and the reps took care of it. I've had two malfunctions and both times, they called and the police came. Once, we weren't here but my son had a key to the house. He came over and turned the alarm off. One of the sensors broke loose and fell off the door. Vivint sent us the part that was bad which was 9 or 10 bucks and it wasn't very expensive. I put it up and it worked fine ever since. It's been a very low maintenance service and our experience with Vivint has been excellent.

My brother had the Vivint security system at his house. I had another security company and got rid of them before I went with Vivint as well. The service package that I purchased includes cameras, sensors for the windows and doors, and the alarm system. But my doorbell camera went out again and they charge me if somebody comes out to fix the equipment that belongs to the distributor. They also charge me to get somebody to come out and troubleshoot it, even if it is not fixed, and I don’t like that especially if I gotta pay monthly for someone to do nothing. Although the reps have been helpful, they couldn’t go against their company's policy. The installers that came out to my home fixed the problem and installed an extra router or modem, but it still went out again and it’s out now. As there are so many competitive alarm systems now, I’m thinking of getting rid of Vivint and getting another security company.

I’ve had Vivint for seven years. When we moved, we also got Vivint. We like the service and we’re used to the programming, the little board. We like it. We got the new panel that has the doorbell and the camera on it, and the motion sensor inside. We have a thermostat, which we took that off but there wasn’t anything wrong with it. And then we like the doorbell thing. That’s very nice ‘cause my daughters, if they’re home by themselves, they can see who’s at the door before going to the door.
Whenever I interact with Vivint, it’s very easy and they’re usually pretty nice. The installation team was very nice too. They’re quick and they clean up their mess. It was almost like they weren’t even there. They were in and out pretty quick. They explained and showed the new features, like how to use the new panel. And they got us set up on our cellphones. But I need to redo that one. We got new phones and it won’t update. We're good with Vivint.

Had technician install system and all but one door sensor, the front door in particular. The installation for most part was very well done. Spoke with technician once since initial visit, and texed once. Still need final install, and Wi-Fi connection. The technician was courteous and completed the work expeditiously. An explanation of the system overview was given, unfortunately at the same time period my attention was divided between the technician and a contractor who was also completing work at my house.

We've had Vivint for about three years now and it's been okay for the most part. We had some technical issues with the panel and getting people to help me arm it. Vivint told me that the technician couldn’t get out till x-amount of time, but the technician told me that he could’ve been out a lot sooner. We’ve had a few issues that took a little bit of time to get resolved, but we finally did get them resolved. I feel better having Vivint.

My significant other's friend on social media recommended Vivint, so that’s the security company that I ended up going with. I have the panel, window break sensors in all of my windows, door sensors in all of my doors, glass break sensors in all the rooms, four exterior cameras, and two interior cameras in the service package that I purchased. I’ve been using their service for a few months and so far I’m very satisfied. Everything went well and smoothly in my interactions with the sales reps. The installation was super good as well. The people who installed my equipment were super quick and easy. I would recommend Vivint to anybody else who would ask me and I don’t plan on switching or changing my security company at any time soon.

When Vivint was coming around the neighborhood, I spoke with Chad, their salesman. He was very good and he talked me into leaving what I had before. I had issues with the other company that I had and Vivint sounded so much better. So I signed up to Vivint. I wanna feel protected so my package includes the break-in-glass detection for the windows, all the doors, smoke alarm, a keyless entry, and a camera that can monitor my front porch. Now that it's getting kinda cold and I would be using the heaters, I was also thinking one getting carbon monoxide detectors.
During the installation, Chad was also here but a different person did it. The installation guy went ahead, did the doors, and put everything up where it's supposed to be. He also checked and hooked up my Wi-Fi to the panel. He did a great job and was very thorough. I was pretty happy with him. So far, Vivint's service has been great. They take out my payments from my checking automatically and I don't have to worry about paying them. And every time I have a problem, all I gotta do is call them and they're right there for me. Also, I could set the system and open a door on my phone. I can be at work and see who's at my porch, if anybody's there. If anybody is looking for a security system, Vivint is the one to go to.

The Vivint team came to our door, selling their security system. They were pretty good and and they sold it to us. We had another home security company before, but there’s a lot more to our Vivint system than what we had with our old system. We've pretty well got everything in the service package that we purchased, but we’re figuring out how to work it. So far, the customer service provided by the Vivint team has been very good. We've had some problems with it, but they sure helped us out and fixed these. The girl who came was excellent when we got our problem fixed this morning.
We had a little problem, though, with the installation because the salesman said they were going to put all their new equipment in here and take out all of the old stuff, but they didn’t do that. They changed the motion detectors and other equipment, but they used a lot of the stuff from our old system and just put their system into it. We paid a premium price for the installation, but they just came in and put their control panel where our old control panel was and hooked up to our old wires and to all of our door things and other stuff. The system is working, but we felt that they shortchanged us. But even if that was to their benefit, it worked out anyway and we’re quite happy. After all, they didn’t have to put all the equipment in again and we didn’t want them running wiring again through the house.
I also wanted to hook up our garage or shop to the security system and they said they could do that, but it didn’t turn out exactly as they thought and they finally told me that the shop was too far from the house. But they added some things to boost the signal and we get a signal out to our shop now. They said they could get the system working and they did, so now we’re pretty happy with it.

I called Vivint about setting up system. Frank told me $53 charge but would be reimbursed. He charged my credit card & set up between 12:00-4:00 PM Nov 2 installer to come for quote. I had to take off work 4 hours. received 4 voicemails reminding me of installation date. Installer never arrived. I called Vivint. They couldn't care less. No supervisors available to talk to - only salespeople. I waited a total of 56 minutes to get someone to talk to. And, when I finally reached someone, she said it'll take 5-7 days to credit my card.

I've been with Vivint for about 10 years. I haven't had any problems with them before, but I've recently been having a lot of issues. About two years ago we've had Vivint guys out a couple of times. They’ve added something that looked like a little connector to the wall to help with transmitting everything, but it's not working. It's constantly down. We have trouble locking and unlocking doors and setting the alarm. Using the app is a hit and miss. It always sensed that the system is unlocked when it is not.

Vivint was the most cost-efficient versus the other companies, and I like everything on it. I have the doorbell camera. It works fine. I also have the thermostat, the motion detector, and all the normal other stuff. One time, I had to call about my thermostat because it turned into wintertime and it wasn’t taking on. But that was because they had it set to a furnace and I have a heat pump. So, Vivint had to come and change the setting on it. I also had them come out because the doorbell camera was wired wrong. The technician had to rewire it to make it function properly. Vivint has pretty quick response time and I feel pretty confident with them.

We started with a different company then Vivint took over. They came and put in new hardware. The team that did it was very nice, efficient, and didn’t make a mess.

Every time I’ve had to deal with their customer service or any representative, it has been a very good experience. They’re a very reasonably-priced and high-quality company that provides great service. I'm extremely satisfied with them.

I chose Vivint for the price and the other security features, like the cameras. When I told them the layout of where I was trying to get the system installed, they pretty much gave me a couple of suggestions on what to do or what package to go with. Then I chose according to that. I have had alarm people in the past that lead you wrong though. They'd tell you one thing then it's totally different after you've signed the contract. But Vivint was pretty much upfront with everything. They're honest people. The installation team also came out on time. They did what they said they were gonna do, explained everything in detail and answered any questions that I had.
But I'm not too satisfied with the outdoor cameras at the moment. Some of the cameras keep going in and out so I have to keep reprogramming them. The actual service itself is good though. If we have an alarm go off, they call in a timely manner. They're prompt and everybody is nice. They would answer all the questions that I have.

When we needed to put in a security system, I saw the cameras in a Best Buy store and I started asking questions. The young man who installed the system was diligent. We have got five cameras in my system. However, they go offline so often. If they're offline, those cameras are obsolete. Somebody came and they got it back online. However, the next day, a couple of the cameras are right offline again. In addition to the cameras, we've had issues with the panel six times at least. Overall, we are not satisfied with Vivint because we don't have continuous camera coverage.

Someone broke into our garage and we wanted to have a little bit of security around the house because sometimes I work nights and my wife is here by herself. So, we decided to go with a security system and it happened to be Vivint. I thought they were a good company but I regret going with them now. They are the biggest piece of crap I ever worked with. Every time we'd call them, it would cost 50 bucks per service call. Also, the cameras and stuff would work while their technician was here but once he left, a couple of hours later, it would quit working and would never work again until I call them out again. So we got nothing of what we expected from Vivint. But if you opened up the door, the alarm would go off when I had it set. And Vivint's reps on the phone were all right. But when we sold the house and we had to get out of the contract, Vivint charged us $1,055. If we knew anybody who'd buy alarms, we'd tell them not to go with Vivint.

We purchased a house with the Vivint system already installed. We wanted to ensure that our house is alarmed when we were not at home and to make sure that things stayed secure and working through Vivint was the best path as they have since operated the device and they were already familiar with this address. We've been with Vivint since 2017 and they've been great. Every time I've had an issue, I called them up and the answer had been good. The sales guy that we had was super nice and the technician that originally came in to install was professional and did a great job too. He was punctual, got right to work and it didn't take him long to set up the system. He walked me through a little bit and did everything else he was trained to do. It was easy and I appreciated it.
Vivint is delivering as advertised and even if I haven't had any major break-ins to test the system back to the local PD, I'm certain that it would work just fine. It tends to be a little glitchy sometimes which is typical for electronic systems but it's not a bug. We also had the fire smoke sensors installed but I ended up having that pulled out because it kept giving false alarms. Then, the battery needed to be changed every month and it was just a pain. I removed it from my system and we haven't had many false alarms. But the panel went completely in-operational recently and that was the latest problem that I called about today.
But now that it's refreshed, it seems to be working fine. I've got control over with my mobile app locally and things have been running smoother. Also, the person that I worked today was knowledgeable and helped me troubleshoot the system which was nice. I've been happy with Vivint and I've thrown their name out there whenever somebody asked about security systems.

Vivint's customer service reps were very effective and friendly. I was happy with them. Also, the guys who came out to put the system in were fast, courteous, and professional. I wanted a kind of a relatively bare-bones package and I got four cameras, a control console, a memory device for recording camera video, additional Wi-Fi router, a few switches, windows and doors, an automatic door lock which I don't use at this point, and a door bell camera. I got those features to control petty theft around the neighborhood. We suspect we had a package stolen. I also got them to keep nuances away and for general security purposes, so when we go and travel, we're not worried about the house.
So far, the system partially works and I'm not super satisfied with it. Initially, I wanted a wired system because I was worried the wireless would give me problems. Wireless videos would fall offline and it's a major pain in the behind trying to get them linked back up again. My videos with Vivint are semi-wired which means they run the wire into a remote box in the house. But even with that, they kinda drop off and it's still a real pain. I don't know if Vivint owns the equipment or not, but I'm thinking of going with another company because I don't wanna deal with wireless. I got enough wireless stuff in the house as it is. So I'm switching unless they can put in a wired option.

I had a great experience with Vivint and there was nothing that made me feel compelled to wanna switch to a different security system. I like the service that they offered and the price point when I started it. I started with a standard package but ended up customizing it.

The reps are always super helpful and I like how present and hands-on they are. If I ever set my alarm off accidentally, I always knew that I could count on them to respond very quickly or check in to make sure that everything was okay. I had one burglary attempt but it was to no avail because the alarm went off and it scared the burglars off before they were able to get in so I was very pleased with the service and I would recommend everyone to go with Terminix as opposed to any other companies I have used.

I was checking out several security companies to see which would be the best one not just for value. I was looking for specific types of equipment that they would use, their customer service and how they monitor. Through the things I read, studied and researched, Vivint looked like a top-notch place to go with. There were several issues when I moved last year and getting the equipment reinstalled. There was also some miscommunication on that a few times and getting it up to speed. I wasn’t able to ever get to the person I needed to talk to and I got passed off to people who didn’t know what to do, so I was always calling back several times, trying to communicate and it was very frustrating.
As a customer, I would recommend, if they haven’t, to look at a smoother way so there’s not so many different departments you have to talk to. You’re getting so much red tape, no one remembers what you're talking about and then it didn’t get scheduled. There were a lot of dropped balls. It was a rough transition but everything else before that time and after that was excellent and interacting with the reps was very good. I sent feedback to Vivint about the move and they were accommodating and understanding. They offered some credits on my bill, so they were trying to help out. It just took some time but we finally got it squared away.

Vivint's reps have always been very responsive and fairly quick. But I had some problems with my alarms which didn't always go through because I didn't always get a return call. Right now, I have a battery out of whack that sets my glass break battery as well and nobody could tell me how to replace that or fix it. The reps I talked to said that they didn't know how to fix that because they use my existing equipment. But that was what they said was best to do. So, I don't know what to do now. Other than that, the rest of the hardware has been doing pretty good. We just replaced a couple of sensors on the doors.
Also, when the alarm goes off, I don't necessarily get a phone call. But I I like Vivint and I would recommend them. The reason I have it is because I've been broken into several times and it makes me feel better because I have kids that will stay home sometimes. So that gives me a sense of security with them. The fire alarm went off once and it was a very good thing. The response time was very good and we got it all taken care of. But we forgot to call and cancel the fire department,and they showed up pretty quickly. But when they're going door-to-door, I would suggest that they do not use the customer's existing equipment. They should out their own in so they can fix it 10 years later.

They'll send me a new part and hopefully it helps. If it does not, I will give them a callback. Every time we have contacted customer service, they have usually been pretty helpful.

We were very clear with our salesman that we would be paying $39.99/month + tax with no other charges including equipment rental fees. Our bill comes in with a $17 equipment rental charge. Your customer service said, "You can't do this," and when we contacted our sales reps he lied to us saying he meant our potential reduction in property insurance rates would offset this fee. That is not the case. We were very clear that we would not be signing up with Vivint if there was a rental fee. The insurance reduction was brought up when I asked about getting a certificate for them. He has no way to know if or how much my insurance company would reduce my rates for having a security system. I expect the rate we agreed to to be honored or I want the system removed.

They email or text me right away and usually fix it. They usually reboot it at their end. I’m very satisfied because no one has broken into my house and it works. We have a standard security alarm with Vivint. If I press the button, I could talk to them through the box. It also records on my phone what it’s doing. If I’m not home, it will tell me on my phone if it goes off, what it’s doing or if the power goes out. They’re just as good as ADT or anybody else, and they’re a little less expensive.

A Vivint sales rep knocked on my door, and he said they were in the area and looking for new clientele. I told him that I just lost my job and I needed to think long and hard. Also, I have a friend who has the service and I would like to reach out to him for a second opinion before I make a commitment. I told him that if he was interested in my business, he could make plans to come back to my house when it was convenient for me later that day, after I talk to my friend. If not, then he can just be on his way and have a great day. So, he came back. I decided that this was a service that I wanted to go with. He asked me about what my needs were and he was very thorough. So, it was a very positive interaction.
The first installer was a lady who was very pleasant and she asked for permission before cutting into my wall. She asked me where I wanted it. She was very engaging and asked a lot of questions. Then we had to coordinate a follow-up appointment for my smoke detector. I was in the process of working on installing my doorbell and I didn’t exactly get what I wanted but I wasn’t unhappy with what I got. I have a two-story, and they wanted to do one thing, and I wanted to do another. It all centered around my doorbell but I finally said fine.
At the end of July, I had a problem with my equipment. After being on hold for a very long time, I finally got someone. After multiple calls, we couldn’t fix it and the lady said we needed to add something. I told her I didn’t need any more equipment and if we couldn’t get it resolved, then we need to take it out and I need to cancel my service. After three calls, I finally got a guy and he said he needed to push a software update. After they did that, my online cameras still weren’t working. So, I called back and the girl I talked to said that I was gonna need new cameras for upstairs and downstairs. I was going out of town so I would be getting the equipment after I get back.
I was delaying on installing it but in the meantime, I happened to check my bank account and more money than my normal monthly bill came out of my checking account. Vivint billed me without telling me that they were charging me for shipping to mail me the equipment. I told them I didn’t agree to it so they made it right. I wasn’t asking for anything other than for them to remove the charge because I should’ve known about it in the first place and I should not have been billed in the first place for their equipment because they pushed the software update, and it was their equipment. Aside from that, I haven’t had any problems and I love the new cameras that I got. They are great. Vivint has always been good and they were very responsive.

Now, we pay a monthly amount and the system is of great quality. We set the alarm when we leave and we turn it off when we get back in. We haven’t had any attempted break-ins but we failed to turn the alarm off once or twice when we opened the door, so they were calling right away to see if everything was okay. That was good. Several people have asked about our system and I’ve told them that they should give Vivint a call.

I liked what Vivint had to offer and the lock on the door stood out. If you look up our account, you'd see how many times they have been out here. However, we still have issues that they have to come out for. For instance, my smoke alarms do not work and they said the tech would go out. He came out here, but he wasn't a smoke alarm specialist so he should have never been sent. Plus, every time we lock a door, it says, "Ignore. Break glass." My camera also doesn't work.
The tech support is okay though. I wasn't always home and when I wasn’t here, my daughter and my husband couldn't get in. There was something wrong with the front lock. We had to pay $90 for the locksmith to come after. The rep said they wouldn’t be able to refund us right now because it had been some years. They had given us a key five years ago. But how are we to know to say that if we never even knew there was a key involved. We only knew about the key once something happened at the lock. We'd tell others to sit down and do research. Once the contract is up, we wouldn't have to do anything with Vivint. For the money we have been paying, using them has been a bad experience.

At first, Vivint sounded like a good system, so we purchased from them through a salesman at Best Buy. We got the doorbell with the camera and the stuff that comes with the standard security package like fire and motion. Vivint's team installed our system and they were very efficient. But, we're not thrilled with the doorbell. It is delayed. Still, we're happy with Vivint's service.

I have issues with my door bell camera. I have tried everything to fix it according to their website and what customer service reps have told me to do. The camera was still not fixed. I asked for a tech to be sent to my house to resolve the problem and they want to charge a service fee even though everything is covered under warranty. The customer service rep had the audacity to tell me that because it was "my product" it was my responsibility to try and fix it myself. On top of that, a rep would not be available right away. Funny how sales reps will show up on your doorstep whenever they want and will wait for you to come home until they sucker you into buying their product but can't get a tech rep to your home right away? I would stay clear from this service as they will charge you fees even though the product is covered under warranty. And their customer service is just terrible.

Vivint is our home protection, which includes motion sensors, door sensors, window sensors. It was customized to what we needed. Their service has been up and down. Sometimes, it's good. When we had to cancel a service at a second house because we sold it, it was quite an ordeal. It took almost a year to get to an agreement of where we should be. They wanted to charge us for a lot longer period of time even though we were on a month-to-month contract at that point because it had been like three years.
There were lots of phone calls with customer service, as well as emails back and forth. "We'll look into it. We'll get back with you." The whole nine yards and then, "We'll need this kind of information," and we sent that to them and, apparently, there were some lost emails. It just took forever. Nevertheless, at the house I still own, the service has been fine. When we upgraded the panel last year, it was easy enough to set up and they installed it. Everything was great. The smartphone features are pretty nice and convenient, too

The Vivint sales guy was definitely the best. He was super professional, had a good attitude and definitely knew how to sell the products. The features that were offered were good but we only purchased what we felt we needed at that time and everything has been satisfactory. Their full package had a lot of unnecessary things for the size of my home. So, the sales guy worked with us to customize it. We had a really crappy old garage door at the time and we didn't need the system hooked up for that. He gave me all the instructions on what to do when we get it fixed and lots of suggestions on what we could do as we improved on our home. The installation team was awesome. They were all very nice, worked quickly and kept everything clean.
However, during the first week, my eight-year-old accidentally set off the alarm system when nobody was home and I tried calling in. I was in the middle of a major event at work and I had a lot of people around me. I was having a hard time hearing and the person that answered the phone was real short with me because I couldn't remember my secret password. It took all those ridiculous amount of effort to try to get into the system so I could get them to turn it off. I just needed somebody to help me get the system turned off so that my eight-year-old can stop flipping out at home alone but the rep just wasn't hearing it. So that wasn't a great experience. But apart from that, a few times that I've had to call in a service with some issues, they've been very timely and professional.
I use their smartphone feature all the time. It's fine but the internet connection sometimes create a problem to access it especially when we were travelling internationally. If somebody was ringing our doorbell and we wanted to see who it was, it would be super difficult to be able to pull up the video and use that wireless interaction with them while we were in a foreign country. When I'm not home and my kids are in the house, I can spy on them and make sure that they are where they said they are. My house was in close proximity to the house next door to me. My neighbor had some vandalism and some of the stuff that happened was caught on my cameras so that has been an unexpected bonus for having the package. I've had Vivint service for over a year now and so far, my experience with them has been great. In fact, I have recommended them to family, friends and neighbors.

Lately, whenever I call Vivint with my problems, some of the reps are really inefficient and not courteous at all. They also take forever to send a technician to your house.

Last time when I called for a problem, the rep wanted me to shut off all the breakers in my house. The tech that came to my house was very courteous and he did his job fine, but it took me forever to get him here and it took a lot of phone contradictions.

Vivint's service has been good. I got the burglar alarm and the thermostat, and the alerts.

Later on, when it became APEX, they put a monitor on my wall. Then, when that was out-dated, Vivint came in and put a monitor on my wall.
I called Vivint's customer service when I had to change the batteries on my thermostat in the hallway. I felt awfully dumb, but I could not remove the plate off of it to put in the batteries, and the young lady that I spoke to walked me through that, which I thought was nice.

I bought a house that Vivint already serviced even before my purchase. They asked if I was satisfied and I fairly was. I upgraded almost everything when I moved in and I installed an outdoor camera just recently. Dealing with their people has been absolutely fine. The gentlemen who did the installation was pretty good and knowledgeable. But the equipment itself is made a little bit on the cheap side. It’s plastic so when you try to adjust the camera to have a different field of view, you have to be very careful and you have to play with it a little bit to get it where you want it. If you move it without loosening it all the way, it would strip. When you try to get it right where you want it then you tighten it back up, it would move again.
There are also little things that never really got ironed out that Vivint said they would take care of. When the home was built, it originally had ADT and it was also wired as well as wireless. I keep getting popups saying that there is a need to install batteries in the window in this room and that room. When the gentleman came out the last time and installed the camera, he put a new battery in the main area where all the wiring is. He told me that the problem won't happen again but I’m still getting popups for that. Other than those, the system works. I've had Vivint's system for about four and a half years now and it's been an all right experience.

The gentleman from Vivint had entered the home and tore my security system. He said it was outdated and they spin off ADT. I asked him why he did it and that he didn't have to tear it up. He could have just cut those wires right there in case I wanted to utilize it. Even though they may have upgraded, I did not expect them to tear up my system and break it up like he did to keep me from utilizing it ever in the future. He wasn't professional at all. Some of the things he said was fraudulent. But I have yet to see that particular individual again since he installed the system.
The service wasn't totally all the way up to par. I wanted to find out more information on having some sort of alert system to the phone. Take for instance, I've been in the hospital and my particular phone wasn't receiving the messages from the security system when they were trying to contact me. Someone activated the system at home, which resulted in them sending the police to the house. But what happened was one of the pets had triggered the alarm, and my son had put it in the wrong code. Another gentleman was a little bit more open with me as far as information, telling me that they don't monitor. They're a new company, and they still got a lot of things they have to work out, but they'll do their best.
I have an app system that's on the phone that I can monitor the camera from here, as long as my WiFi system is up and running and everything. I'm pretty pleased with it, but I would like to upgrade because I'd like to have more for my windows, that's on the lower floor, also participating in the monitoring, as far as those being secured as well, because it's on the first floor and it is accessible to intruders. I had to call the company and have them talk me through some things in order to get it back online and get it monitoring. I would also like to have a booklet or information to troubleshoot systems.

Shopping for an alarm system I came across Vivint. I did what most people do, research the company. I found a hand full of negative reviews, most of them were people complaining about their 499 dlls to get out of contract fee and some said they were a scam. Well... regardless of the bad reviews I decided to give vivint the benefit of the doubt and I am glad I did. I am extremely happy with such a professional and high tech company. They have done all the opposite of what people say in their negative comments. Yes, there is a charge if you break the contract, but guess what? There is a charge in any other company as well. They ask you to read three times the terms and they make sure you understand what you are signing. They call you to rate their technicians, they are on it like no other. Their system is the best in the market in my eyes. Their rates are very competitive and cheaper than Other brands.
From my perspective as a business owner and a mother of two I feel extremely confident and safe to trust my house and my business to a A+ company. I realize that when consumers don’t get their way or try to get out of a contract and cannot do it without paying, the easiest thing to do is talk negative about that company by leaving an ugly review. Nowadays most people base their opinion on reviews rather than trying and seeing from their own eyes... I am glad I tried and I didn’t let the influence of others make my decision. Also you should always ask what are the guidelines for your estate. Every estate is different, and the rules and regulations vary depending on where you live. Thanks.

Vivint sent a troop of people in town that were going up and down the streets and knocking on doors. I spoke with their sales rep and he was very pleasant. His whole game was to sell but he was very nice and knowledgeable. During the installation of the system, the installers came quickly and I didn't have to wait long. The guy that installed it was very professional. At that time, I thought it was a very pleasant experience but I found out later was that many things were left out. I was not instructed on a whole lot of things so I didn’t know how to do many things. I didn’t know the system had things that I should be doing or looking at. I did not know that there were supposed to be updates along the way, that I was supposed to go in to certain parts, into the little menu on the panel, and maybe check for certain things. I had very basic instructions on how to adjust the temperature and the alarm.
The first few years of working with them were not pleasant at all. My first issue with them was when I was cooking dinner. I was searing a steak and I could get the pan hot. I forgot to hit the exhaust button so when I pulled the pan out of the oven, the smoke was going in. I ran over there, turned off the alarm over there, but never got a phone call from anybody. We were having our dinner when somebody knocked on my door. I got up, got to the door, and there were two police officers. It was 45 minutes to an hour after the whole incident. They were asking me if I was okay which I told them I am. But one of them had his hand on his gun, and the other got a flashlight. They asked me if I was sure that I was okay. I replied yes and asked them why shouldn't I be not okay. He said they got a call from the alarm company that something might be going over here.
Then in about 10 minutes, a friend of mine called. She asked me if the police came by. I asked how did she know when she was working in a town 35 miles away. I was told that what had happened was, Vivint called her at her job earlier in the evening and said that our fire alarm is going off. She was asked if she wants them to notify the Fire Department and she said that she does. She knows our local volunteer, called one of them that was a friend of ours, and asked for his help so they went but there was nothing. Lights are off. There’s nothing going on.
She called the alarm company to ask and they gave her my address. She said that it was my house. She then asked them if they have called me, which they replied that they never called me about the incident. I called the company the next day and asked them why wouldn’t they call me. But they were very rude then put me on hold for 30 minutes, and I just hang up but I tried calling a couple times. Then some months went by, the alarm would just go off without any reason so I stop using the alarm completely and I haven’t used it in almost five years.
There was a guy from some other company that came around the neighborhood and was doing weird things. Mostly everybody had Vivint because we’re in a small town and that’s who’s been out here. The guy kept telling us all the illegal things that Vivint was doing but I didn’t really pay attention to that because he’s a salesman for a competitor. I found out that while people were listening to this guy, Vivint lowered several people’s monthly rates but not mine. And I had yet another issue with the alarm so I called and asked when my contract is up because I’m not renewing. I gave them a list of issues including lowering everybody else’s rates around here, but nobody has offered to lower mine. I was told that they can’t because I told them I'm not gonna renew my contract.
The guy was just very rude to me on the phone and said that he can’t even talk to me about it because I told them I'm not gonna renew my contract. I asked them who I can talk to about getting some service as the alarm was going off constantly and I couldn’t get it to turn off. I finally got someone on the phone and she was the most pleasant and helpful person in all of my years with Vivint. In talking to her, we learned in going through things and she was looking at it from her system. She said that I was on a very original system and they’ve had many upgrades since then. My system had never been upgraded and no wonder that the alarm isn’t working because they don’t even support that part anymore so she got the alarm to finally turn off. My mother is in her 90s and the alarm was just making her crazy. I could have worked during the day but it was over two days and we had this alarm thing.
The lady sent someone out to work with system and do the upgrade. The technician was quite pleasant and he told me a lot of stuff. He even said that if I ever have any trouble, I can call him on his cell phone and he’ll come to my home. Since the young man came out and did the upgrade, we haven’t had any issues with it. I’m four years into the contract, and I would call people at Vivint and I’d be put on hold for forever, where they tell me that they can’t help me and they have to transfer me to this department. It was just ridiculous.
The experience I had with Vivint until that young man came to my house, fixed it, and did the upgrade, shouldn’t have happened all along. And since I haven’t had any trouble with it, it’s been decent. But I don’t have any trust with the company right now because it’s not a good company. It took me four years to get a good person who works for them. I wouldn’t recommend Vivint to anybody.

I've been with Vivint for at least eight years now and their prices were comparable. They have been exceptionally good in helping me the issues I've had. Recently, I was having an issue with the weather feature. When turning it on, it alternates between the display and the weather, and it was not working. I spoke to a technician on the phone and he walked me through the solution and it was resolved.
One very important thing also happened. My husband died in his sleep. I'd gone down to let my dogs out and I’m losing my sight so I didn’t see that he was still in the bed. He always covered himself up and had pillows over him, and I was late for an appointment. I went down and opened the door ‘cause he'd always leave ahead of me, and the alarm went off. I pressed the key numbers, and then went upstairs, and I found him. He was already in rigor mortis, and I couldn’t accept it. I went into shock. And because I didn’t stay by the monitor to say that everything was okay, Vivint called. I told the man to help me as I couldn’t wake up my husband. He immediately called 911 and stayed on with me for a few minutes, and he said that I should call my minister so I hung up and called my Rabbi. Then before I knew it, the police came.
When I was able to talk, my friends were impressed by the way that I was helped and the fact that Vivint just doesn’t accept pressing the correct code buttons, they also follow up with a phone call. They couldn’t help me emotionally but they did the proper thing and called for help for me. I have recommended them to friends.

A couple of people I knew were using Vivint. The reps were okay although they were a little on the pushy side. They said that if I didn't do it then, I wouldn't get this amazing deal. I asked if I could have at least a day to think about it, but it had to be decided already, and I was quite surprised with that. It was the salesperson and his buddy who did the installation.
I'm kinda disappointed, however, in the quality of the system. It's a hit and a miss on whether or not it records at my doorbell. I've had people come into my backyard and it was not showing. My phone is not alerting me. My neighbors would be the ones who would phone me and ask me if I knew that there was a vehicle in my driveway. I've had people on my front door and I wouldn't know that they were there if not for the neighbors who messaged me. The system is very sporadic and then it'll go days without recording anything although I’m coming and going.
I've called Vivint a couple of times, but I really don't have the time to sit on hold. When the call takes more than a couple of minutes, I usually just hang up. The customer service has been okay though. I phoned in a while ago to up the sensitivity on my recording and it was working fine for a bit. But since the last month, it has been very hit and miss whether or not it records anything. In addition, I have had some issues with the door lock. Sometimes, it will be locked but it's not picking up the sensor and it'll show me on the screen that it's not locked.

Have had system for 5 years. Never a problem with it. Actually had to use service for a small fire when we were gone. Thankfully it all turned out well. We took the system with us when we moved. Easy process of transferring and getting set up in new home.

The motion detectors Vivint used in our home need batteries with 18 months. Cost per detector is $14. Hard to find batteries as well Cr123A. Comparing VIVINT motion detectors to other home that uses another security company Alarm.com detectors and equipment for security their detectors and all door detectors are over 3 yrs old and no batteries needed changed to date. Plus those batteries are cr2023 button batteries and only need one at $2 each. It’s easy to see Vivint has a long way to go. Also Vivint needs to increase their app's performance and the rules available in the app are secondary to Alarm.com by far. Vivint will be coming out of this house in 18 months. About battery replacement time. Shop around.

Vivint sent a crew out into the neighborhood and a guy knocked on my door. He was a really nice guy and my experience with him was great. For the installation, one guy came out and he was very good and quick. It was kinda late in the evening when he came, so he was so fast that he did it in no time at all. He was supposed to come back and do something else to the windows within the next day or two, but he never came back or we weren’t home when he came back. But it was no big deal and it didn't affect how anything worked.
Other than that, the quality of the features is great. We had a few old glitches because they had a software update that made our doorbell quit working. But I called and their customer service reps were great at getting back. They uploaded the right thing and everything was fine. The customer service there is fantastic and I've never been disappointed when I call in. They’ve always been very helpful. I have been meaning to call them again to ask them to bring us another sign. We had a storm and it broke our sign. But so far, I’m very well-satisfied with Vivint's service and I have recommended them.

I had a very pleasant experience with Vivint's sales rep that I ended up having their system installed. And it was done on the same day that I dealt with him. He was respectful, informative and he answered all my questions. I got two cameras, a few door contacts, window contact, motion detector and smoke detector from them. The team that installed those was respectful and quick.
Everybody seems to be pleasant and professional. I’ve had problems with the system in and out and they tried to address it right away when I called. When we couldn’t do it over the phone, they sent out a tech to work on it. I recently had a problem where one camera went offline and they ended up updating the system, then we finally got it back up. It has been mostly just a camera problem that was on and off in the couple of years that I've been with them, but the rest of the stuff has been okay. I’m satisfied with Vivint and I feel a little more secure having their system installed. So far, we're getting good service from them and I have already recommended them.

We had a very bad experience with Vivint. We had a buy out with our former Security company and Vivint did not want to complete the buyout. So we went back to our former company. However when Vivint took their equipment out they took the power source out and wires that were needed and the reinstaller had a rough time. Now we have to pay for a new transformer when we shouldn't have to!! We are not happy!

I had a rep come to my house and tell me that since I was a corner house that they had a special for me if I agreed to put the sign on the lawn. There was no special rate. I was told I was leasing the equipment, come to find out 5 months later when the system isn't working properly and I want to discontinue that I'd have to pay the entire balance of the equipment in full.
What am I going to do with their monitor and door sensors? Their monthly fee is much higher than many other services out there. I was also told we would receive a $20 or more per month discount on our homeowners, so the monthly cost would net around $20. I should have checked first as this was not the case. I received a $2 discount per month off of my homeowner's insurance.
The doorbell constantly sends updates to my phone that it detected a visitor when no one is there. The doorbell picks and chooses what it wants to record and when. Most of the time the recordings are of nothing. I feel extremely duped into purchasing this system. You are better off going with another company that has much cheaper equipment, or an equipment leasing program. By the time I pay off the equipment it will be outdated. BEWARE OF THEIR MISLEADING SALES TEAM!
Updated on 10/12/2018: I was shocked with Vivint commented on my review. I took them up on their offer to resolve my concerns, BUT NEVER HEARD BACK! Has anyone else heard back? I feel like they respond to the reviews to look like they are going to assist, but don't really do so!

We had a young group of college age men come to our neighborhood to sign up local residents. After talking with the young man representing Vivint it appeared to be a very good security system. At this point I should have listened to my gut feeling and sent him down the road. The well versed college student from Colorado gained our trust and convinced my wife and I to sign up. The main reason was not only the equipment offered for this “limited time promotion” but in his words “you can cancel after 6 months. No questions ask”. IF you place a Vivint sign with light in the front and back of our home.
Long story short we moved from Texas to Florida only to receive a letter in the mail from a collection agency stating we broke our contract and we failed to pay the $409.00 fee. I have never in my 53 years of life on this earth failed to pay or uphold any agreement that I have been involved in with any company or for that matter a individual. Be aware the snakes in the grass that make their way into your home!

I got Vivint's cameras at the front, back and inside our house, including a doorbell camera. My mother-in-law is getting a little older and we wanted her to feel a little bit more secure so we also got the little life alert. The installation team answered any questions that I had and showed me what they were doing. When they got done, they walked me through the panel, how to set it up and how to view the different features on it. The reps of Vivint are also very professional and willing to help out. They are easy to get ahold of. I had to do something with the system the other day and I called the tech support. They walked me through step by step and helped me correct the problem.

Vivint’s installers were punctual, dressed appropriately, very well mannered and articulate. Explained ahead of equip. to be installed and took notes as I answered his questions. Cleaned up any mess made during install as well. They installed all new home automation equipment, so everything can be pretty much controlled by your smartphone device. They mostly installed wireless equipment from the video doorbell, a new Nest thermostat to light controllers and of course the home alarm system (+more) that can be all tweaked with a few taps/swipes of your thumb.
The apps were easy to set up (installer will walk you through that) but once you are done creating them you can forget about them because Vivint has integrated each of the most important settings of each app or categories into one easy to navigate app of their own. You can ask Google (home mini) to turn on your bedroom lights or create an action in the app to turn on all lights when you open the door and disarm your alarm. Overall, I am quite pleased with my experience. From the beginning of the install, to the daily use of the equipment and the personalized “real person” customer service. I would & will recommend this company to my family and friends alike. Thank you Vivint and crew!

My interactions with the Vivint sales rep went well. They explained everything well and I understood everything that they were doing. However, the installation team had some trouble trying to get everything together. They messed my HVAC system and part of it went bad. A part of that had to do with the thermostat and part of it had to do with the installation of my HVAC system, so it wasn’t totally on Vivint’s fault. They were getting frustrated as well trying to get the thing to work like it should and eventually, it did work out. By the time they left, it was 11:00 at night so we were all exhausted. Other than that, everything went fine.
The Vivint system has really been nice. I look at the security cameras all the time. I just wish I’ve gotten one more and it’s probably a decent value for what we did. Also, any problem that I’ve had with them, I know that they’ll either replace or repair it. Even on my HVAC, they sent somebody out three different times and they never charged me anything, so that was a plus. I would recommend Vivint. In fact, I’ve told some people about it. So far, we're happy with it.

After having a less than desirable start to my relationship with Vivint (due to the contractor not showing up to install) I have to admit that I was shockingly surprised when the Vivint installer showed up in his place. The Installer Abe was a younger guy but has been working for Vivint for 6 years. He did a fantastic job installing our system. I was very impressed with the quality of his work as well as the speed that he did it with. Very nice and professional.
