I have called three separate occasions in regards to the name on the email and account. The name on the account should be MaryBeth **. For some reason it is showing MaryBeth **. The customer service agents have told me that they have changed the name to reflect my correct name as the automatic payment will come out in my name MaryBeth **. I don’t know why it seems to be so hard to get the name correct as I am the one who signed the contract and purchased the equipment and the system. Please help as the payment is due October 16. I want to make sure the payment goes through. Thank you.

I didn't pay much attention to Vivint before since I already had a service, but I knew that they had some good equipment. Later on, one of my buddies signed up with Vivint and he told me that everything was working great for him. What really caught my attention was the fact that Vivint had clear cameras for the security system because they all put them 1080p. What I had at that moment was not sufficient in that way, so I decided to swap over after I heard that Vivint's equipment and service were pretty decent.
Everything went great with Vivint. Everybody was straightforward with what I was getting. When the technician came out, he was courteous, friendly and he took his time. He answered any questions I had and made sure everything was set up correctly. It was what I would hope to expect from somebody coming out to install equipment like that. Everything was professionally done and I was happy with everything.
I got a good deal for what I got from Vivint. I have the cameras, the doorbell camera and the front camera, and the sensors. All seem to function. But every now and then, they are hiccups. When you try to connect to the cameras from your mobile device, it may take a minute for it to pull it up. Also, the panel sometimes is a little slow in responding when you're pulling onto your cameras on there. But that can be smoothened out with a firmware update. Other than that, Vivint's security system works a lot better than my previous one. It's smoother in terms of the way I can control everything. The panels and the hardware are more advanced than what some of their competitors were offering. I had two other services, and Vivint worked the best out of the three.

I honestly don’t even know where to start. We signed up for 2 years however after a BBB complaint and no resolution to our issue we find out they tricked us. I am blind so I really take it very offensive when anyone or a company takes advantage of me. I have still products that keep beeping so loud every other minute that we started sleeping in another level of my house just to avoid it. We have called. They refuse to fix or replace. We have purchased 3 different batteries for the smoke detector. The app is a joke. Every now and then it won’t work. The cs phone wait is very long and pray someone nice will answer so all in all avoid them at all cost.

The Vivint system was great for about six months until our camera started having issues. They kept saying that it was my internet, not their cameras. So, I had my internet company come out and test it and they said I’m getting good quality and I got the top-of-the-line router. I kept calling Vivint back and it was impossible to get somebody to come and look at our cameras. When they sent somebody, he said, “All right, this will fix it,” and it didn’t. So I called back and then it was another four weeks for somebody to come out. We’ve had four people come out and look at them. Finally, Vivint agreed that it was their cameras and not my internet. So, they came in and removed the cameras. It was the last tech that came out, Dante, who helped me to finally talk to Vivint to be able to get the cameras taken out.
Vivint was supposed to change my bill but when they removed my cameras, they didn’t remove my storage device which is completely useless without the cameras. So, when I called about my bill being wrong, they said, “Oh, let go of the equipment,” so another two or three weeks went by for somebody to come out and get the other piece of equipment out. They said that they were going to refund me for the last few months that I have not had the cameras but they’ve still been charging me for them. I’m happy with the alarm system, but that’s it. It’s the typical alarm system and I can control it from my phone, that’s the only benefit.
So far, I’m locked in because if I cancel, I gotta pay back all the equipment so it’s not worth it. Furthermore, I have the fire alarm thing wherein I can look at my activity and see where it’s been activated. I’ve set the fire alarm off three times but I’ve not gotten a phone call saying that it has contacted the alarm company, which defeats the purpose of having an alarm system.

Vivint did the installation and I liked it. The alarm is good and I also like their garage door opener. However, it's hard to reach Vivint. We have to schedule the service, and there's nobody in the Prince Albert area. Vivint usually charge a service fee of 50 bucks, so that's why I just keep what's going on. My camera is not working but I just left it like that. I also replaced the battery of my carbon monoxide detector. Vivint gave the battery and it's not even one year and it's beeping already. Their service is okay but I don't like the service fee. I'm not satisfied now with Vivint, but I'm in a contract. So if ever I could change my alarm system, I would change it right away after the contract. There are more cheaper alarm systems in our area that are easy to reach and they come right away. I'm not recommending Vivint.

We're retired now and we're gone quite a bit, and then it happened that a guy from Vivint came to the door first, so we decided to go with them. We have a doorbell cam, window and door sensors, movement sensor, and carbon monoxide, fire and steam detector included in our package. The installer was fast. We were getting ready to leave the next morning on a month-long trip and he was here late until the evening doing the installation. However, we had a lot of trouble with the equipment at first. We have the automatic garage door with a push button and it was not connecting to our panel since they didn’t put a relay in. Also, the button was too far away. Finally, we got that fixed after two new doorknobs and a new relay. Vivint took care of it and they were good about it.
I had to call Vivint's customer service when our thermostat went haywire. It was saying one thing, but that wasn’t what the temperature was, so I had to reset it. We also called them when we had battery issues, such as how to change batteries. But after doing the doorknob thing, which was a weekly phone call, things were much better.

Don't go with Vivint. Stay with the company that you have if you have one. We were with ADT before but we changed because we thought that Vivint was more modern and nicer. Their sales and customer service were nice as well as the guy who came to install the system. We got the panel and some sensors for the door because they used the one that we had for ADT. We also had to buy the camera separately. However, the system is not working properly. Sometimes, when we go, we arm it and when we go back, we see that it didn't turn on.

System works good as far as getting emergency service response (when monitoring subscription is in place). However, if you use internal door locks or garage controller and have guest in your house with limited access - they can lock/unlock or open the garage just by walking to the alarm panel and clicking the button - not good. This is a major flaw on this system. For instance, my wife and I do Airbnb at the house. Thru the Vivint app we can create limited access guess/users to arm or disarm the system, it is easy to do even thru the app on our phones. However, when the panel is in disarm mode it shows the option to unlock internal door locks and to open the garage controller without any restrictions.
So, if you use internal door locks and/or the garage controller to prevent unauthorized access to certain rooms within your house.... and believe that a limited guess with no access cannot open those locks or garage door... think again!! They can open them by simply walking to the panel when is in disarm mode and "touch" the unlock button for the door lock or garage controller. This makes the system a waste of money, in my case. Now, I have to unpair door locks and garage opener from the Vivint panel (hint - waste of money) and link the door locks and garage opener to my Smart things controller were I can control 100% who can unlock a door lock, and who can have access to open my garage door. Hope this help!

On 10-4-18 at 8:01 PM our outdoor camera showed we had a package sitting on our porch. The camera caught the package getting delivered at aprx 6:30 pm. From 7:53 pm to about 8:03 pm the camera caught motion every minute. The camera then did not record any motion from 8:03-8:08 pm which in that five minute span of package had disappeared from our porch. We contacted customer support and they had zero explanation or resolve. I was told by VIVINT that they can't promise that the camera catches motion. What is the point of a system that isn't guaranteed to work when you need it. We will be canceling our service and requesting a refund because this company cannot fulfill the service it promises to.

We moved out of town and we want to be able to travel, so we thought having a security system would be beneficial. We bought a system from Vivint and we added onto it a house thermometer that controls the heat, which has been very beneficial. We can program that and we can change the heat up and down with that on our phone. It's really nice that we can see the activity on our phone. Also, we could see if someone comes up to our door because there is a camera through the doorbell. We are more aware of what's going on in our house especially when we're gone. If the alarm goes out, Vivint will notify us right away. And if they can't get a hold of us, they'll be proactive in getting someone out to our house. We really like our system.
Vivint's rep was very good. He told us the pros and the cons. He also told us the benefits of the system. The installers were very efficient, very thorough and they cleaned up. I didn’t have to clean up a mess after them. We also had a different person come in and do the control for the heat, and he was very positive and receptive as I was asking questions. He was willing to come back in if we needed help. I would recommend Vivint. I would tell others the benefits of it.

At one time I would have given a good review, but after dealing with their customer service and basically being told "that's tough. You have to pay or else!!" I have had Vivint for 8 years and now I feel very ripped off. I have sold my home and needed to cancel and I am not moving to another home. They informed me that I had made a 5 year contract over the phone and that there are 17 months remaining on the contract and that if I could not get the people buying the home to assume the contract I would have to pay the 17 months and that was over $900. I offered $450 to no avail. Also you basically cannot get anything out of them as they have you recorded if supposedly renew your contract over the phone.
Yet I do not recall the individual stating that I would have to pay this if I canceled. Next came the "if you do not pay you will go to collections!!" There is no compromise on anything. Just basically "that's the way it is!!" Run. Do not walk from Vivint. There are other companies out there that will help you with an alarm system. Whatever you do do not agree to anything on the phone as they will use it against you for they record you.

I would not recommend this company. First off the salesmen were not honest with me about the cost. In addition in the three months that I've had the system it has not worked for most of that time. I have had four technicians out trying to solve the problem. None of them have been able to solve it. I talked to a supervisor and she didn't seem to care how disappointed I was. I am so frustrated because I have a contract with a bank and cannot just cancel the service. I paid well over $1,000 and I'm paying a monthly fee pretty much for nothing because the cameras have not worked. In addition it keeps getting disconnected from the router.

While the service department is kind and helpful the business end of this company is awful, from day one the installer crossed out the standard time frame on the contract and put 60 months on it... I did not notice it. They look to always have a reason why they can't shut off service till customers go through all the games they put out there, including a letter 30 days before saying you are stopping service, and a call 3 days before they are suppose to draw from your account again. I did all this and was told I would not be charged anymore. That was 2 days ago.
Today I go to my bank page as I do each and every day of my life and I see a hold from Vivint. I call and they hooked me up with some snippy women who told me my contract started on the 3rd of the month so I would still be on the hook for this month as well even after I have already paid a full 60 month term. I asked to speak to a supervisor, she got even worse. I told her I was going to do some blogging about Vivint she did not care, was not helpful, never gave me a supervisor. I stayed on hold for a while. I hung up called the bank put a stop payment on Vivint! Thanks for the memories Vivint.

We were with ADT and we changed to Vivint, and now we're regretting it. We're having lots of problems. We put some new sensors in and within a few days, they're telling us it's not working right. We'd put the batteries in and it would tell us "low battery". They sent it and had my husband to install it and told him what to do over the phone to save the technician's visit. It's very frustrating because we need our home protected. Their reps are very good as a whole, except we never get the problems taken care of for very long. We're very disappointed that it's not working correctly because what is offered is great. If it would work correctly for us, we'd be very happy with it. We're probably gonna change because we got to have better coverage.

A rep came through the neighborhood and told us about Vivint's new technology. He was very friendly, positive and upbeat. We got the security system and the installation team was okay. However, there were some issues installing the basement detector. Our ceiling wasn't a solid ceiling and the installer tried to stick the system up there. It fell off out of the ceiling so that wasn't very good. I contacted Vivint and they told me that I could lay the system down somewhere so it can work and do what's it's supposed to do.
And then, we're constantly having issues with the thermostat which keeps going offline and the reps told us we can keep replacing batteries. We haven't had it for very long, but we've had to change the battery three times this year. I was wondering if it was gonna be my new life 'cause that's annoying. We're also having issues with the garage door opener. It's a running joke in the house and we're wondering why we even had it installed. It sounds good in practice and it works sometimes, but then the other times, it doesn't. We have the remote piece on our phones and when we hit the garage remote, it'll just circle around where the garage is and we don't know if it's closed or open unless we sit back and watch.
I like the ability to use the system on my phone and I like the customer service when I call, but I'm not sure if I'm getting the appropriate timely response. The rep should be saying, "Hey, you seem to be having some issues, and let's resolve it for you" but I haven't gotten that. I know that Vivint is a new company and they're still working out some of the bugs but I'm not 100% satisfied.

I customized my Vivint security system but it was inconvenient. If you get a single item, you would get a higher price so I was forced to go to a bundle to get the very bang for my buck. I was also stuck into a two-year contract. I'm also paying for maintenance fees as far as them coming out repairing something that broke or is not functioning. I'm not sure if they offered a warranty packet that you could purchase, but I don’t think that was something that I got.
I had a technician come out. He had reset the alarm system and it was not working after he left. So it was something that he had done to the code and I had to call a different tech to come in. There was also a time I called them because the system had just dropped off, and they were trying to do testing. They didn’t come out. They missed the three-hour window they had and didn’t call. Afterwards, the technician showed up but I was leaving and I got things to do.

Definitely enjoy the system, to me probably the best security system on the market today. I had ADT Pulse and it really fell short vs. Vivint. My only complaint is was promised google devices and installer mentioned they were discontinued. The only reason for four stars on customer service Is miscommunication on window/glass break sensors/promotion that wasn’t valid any longer. The system isn’t cheap, well worth it but $1800 for equipment is a lot; however, with 0% for 5 years to payoff is acceptable. On customer service just the fact that window glass break sensors weren’t compatable but Vivint made it right and provided 7 sensors at no cost. Also the issue of promising 3 google devices that were discontinued would have been nice to know.

We've had good and bad experiences with the reps of Vivint. We have a somewhat large house and a lot of sensors. When we first had the sensors put in the house, the gentleman who came out did not do the best that he could do. There were some issues on where they placed things. The sensors were put in such a manner that we could not put screens in the windows, and they were put on the opposite side where they open up, which makes no sense whatsoever. The sensors weren’t working properly but they’ve been fixed.
We’re using the door sensors, window breaks, motion detectors and the services are fine. I would recommend Vivint but make sure you know what you’re getting into and make sure that before people leave, you go over things. At first Vivint was great and then I considered changing companies. But I had yet to change so Vivint has been pretty good.

There was an incident to the house where someone threw an object to the front window, and my mother was scared to death, so she had the Vivint security system put into the house. When she passed, I inherited the property, and I just kept the security system in place. The system needed to be upgraded and the technicians that came out were very professional. They get the job done quickly and explained things so that I understood what I would be dealing with. Their pricing structure is also extremely fair.
The customer service is wonderful. Every time I have called for whatever my challenge might be, they're always polite, knowledgeable, helpful and very upbeat. They're very, very good at what they do, and they make it easy for the customer. When something happens and I need to talk to somebody at the home office regarding battery replacement or turning things off, so I can take care of an electrical situation and turning things back on, they are fabulous. I'm in my 70s, so I'm not really up on technology. They walked me through things with a lot of patience and it takes a lot of patience when it comes to technology in me.

As we began our process looking for a new security system, Vivint seemed very promising. They had the allure of updated technology and easy to use systems. As we have used our system, however, we have come to find out it is quite the opposite. At the beginning of our process we were told by our installer that we would be able to cancel this service if we were not satisfied at any point in time. What we were not told, however, is that these installers are just saying what they can to get us, the consumer, to sign on the dotted line!
From the moment we signed we have had nothing but issues. Our main control panel frequently glitches, and has even started creating false alarms (which included calling the police, twice!) without even setting off a single alarm at our house. It was essentially hitting a panic button that we were unaware of. After 30 minutes on the phone with the company, they reset the service and fixed the glitch. This is not the first time this glitch has happened, and no one seems remotely apologetic about the problem or the lengthy phone call times we have endured.
I would say we have called Vivint around a dozen times with problems and at no point in time has a phone call been under 30 minutes. Their service is about as unapologetic as it gets, and we are feeling stuck with this company. I am not writing this as another upset customer, I am writing this as someone who is truly trying to enlighten those looking for a good security company to not sign with someone who locks you in to expensive contracts with no recourse for their faulty equipment. Please, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!

Be careful when dealing with this company. We moved and closed on our house during a family emergency. When I realized we hadn’t called Vivint to let them know we moved, I called to cancel my service. They convinced me to “defer” my account while deciding if I wanted it at the new home with reassurance no billing would occur. A couple weeks later I receive a message from the new owners of our home that the alarm triggered and they had no way to disarm it. The police arrived as well as a loud alarm going off at their home. I called Vivint again very upset that the system was still on! They refused to turn it off since I was on a deferment plan!!! I told them they needed to cancel my service, which I had to write an email and then wait a few days for the service to be shut off. Ridiculous!
Fast forward and I realize they charged me for 2 months at a home I no longer lived at! I called customer service to ask them to refund my account and I was passed around and spoken down to the entire time! I was told my billing cycle was on the 10th and I called on the 5th to defer my account which takes 5-7 business days. Since that went into my new billing cycle, I was charged the full amount and no prorated amount would be refunded! I have never heard of that from a company providing service. I went around and around to get the next month refunded and had to keep asking for a manager. They told me a cancellation of service has to be on file for 30 days before it cancels, so again no refund.
I explained that the reason for the cancellation was because they refused to turn off my old system, in a home I no longer owned, with new home owners and a system that went off and they couldn’t turn off! After being jerked around by many customer service representatives, one of which actually said before passing me on in a quick and quiet voice, “you are still going to get the same amount!”, I finally was passed on to a manager who used a very good tactic of shutting me down and moving the call along. It was a very unpleasant experience and I am still out money. Be careful. They do not have their stuff together and are ridiculous to work with!

I wanted cameras and my tech guy said that Vivint provides them, so he recommended their system. There was a bit of a hiccup during installation as the installer didn’t seem to know exactly what he was doing. It took him a little while to figure it out so he came out twice. Other than having to remember my password, the system is great. The whole Vivint website is geared towards, “This is a home alarm,” but I'm using it at an office. I don’t have a large office and so it works fine. I like that before I head out, particularly at night when I think I hear something else, I can check the cameras to make sure there's nothing looking outside before I head to my car.

I just bought a new house with a security system and wasn't really interested in security but the sales guy showed me some really cool stuff and I couldn't be happier. This system is so much easier than my old cobbled ge, ring and kevo lock. Everything is seamless and very simple. I don't even arm it I usually just use it for the cameras and remote locking. I have a large panel or I can use my phone to look at doorbell driveway or indoor. My mom stays with me now so it's very handy knowing when she goes for a walk if I'm out or to keep an eye on people I hire.

A friend of mine referred me to Vivint and the initial call with them was fine. The people at Vivint followed up well. I told them I wasn't ready to get started and they kept pushing the call back. They were consistent with their follow up and patient with me until I made my decision. The service they were offering met my needs and the price seemed fair so I went ahead with them. I was able to customize my package wherein I added a couple of different window alarms. They worked with me to put the coverage in place that I needed and I'm very satisfied with their service. So far, my experience with Vivint has been good and I would recommend them to others.

I have two systems at my two office buildings. Both systems I have trouble with the automated door locks. Some days they just do not work at all and other days they work fine. Out of six handles total, I have had to replace two, both of which stopped working within the first month, and am having to replace the third handle after a week of being in service. Add to that that I cannot add people and PINS through the APP nor through the Panel and the passcodes are nearly worthless. Multiple times my employees have been left outside and not been able to get into the buildings because the handles do not work at all...the buttons do not even beep when pressed.
Add to that you cannot call the salesperson who sold the job, he says call the install techs; the install techs tell you to call the support hotline; and the support hotline tells you it's going to be $60 to have a tech come out to repair...for an item that failed...within the first year...within the FIRST MONTH. What kind of BS is that? They also tell you that they can send you a new handle that I have to install? Didn't know I was going to spend the rest of my days replacing failing Vivint equipment. In the first week of my newest install, I was left without a door handle cover, the door closure knocks the door sensor off the mount, the window sensor no longer works, and the front entrance handle doesn't work. All of this would be perfect if Vivint would take responsibility and support their product.

Vivint has been one of the top rated ones, technology-wise, for their app, so my wife chose them. We got outdoor cameras and a ring camera then the rest are the normal contact sensors. The initial installation was bad. Vivint sent somebody out that didn't know what he was doing, so they had to send out other guys multiple times to fix the stuff that the first guy did wrong. We even had to have some money credited back to our account for some holes that got drilled by accident or in the wrong spot. Vivint also cut us a check for $250 to fix the mistakes done by the original installer. We weren't happy with any of those but once Vivint got all of them fixed, everything was fine for a while.
However, there is an ongoing issue that we've had since day one and it is something that we're living with. Our doorbell camera or ring camera really hasn't worked perfectly. Every time we called Vivint, they would just tell us to reboot it. Then it would work for a while but it would go offline again. They've sent somebody out to re-fix it and the same thing happened. So our doorbell camera is too inconsistent to rely on because it goes offline all the time. It is not really helping us with what we need it to be helping us with, so their customer service has been average on that end. Nobody has ever come out and said that they knew what the problem was and there was a fix for that.
Other than that, when the system is working, we're happy with it. I'm not a security expert but the orange design in the front of our house probably does more for it as a deterrent than what the actual product does for us. We haven't had a system like that of Vivint before, but it is not meeting any of our expectations and I'm disappointed. It is average and I don't know if it is worth switching to find out if somebody is better, so that is why we haven't. There are some people that we know that has Vivint, too, and it seems like it is a hit or miss as to whether you're gonna have issues or not, which is not good. So to my friends who might ask me about Vivint, I would say, "Good luck."

Poor service and even worse equipment, I had it installed on a Sunday, by Tuesday I was already having issues with the video camera and ring not working. Three different techs came out to troubleshoot all of which said the equipment was fine yet as soon as they would leave it still did not detect motion nor did it record activity. I placed numerous calls all of which did not solve my issue.
When I went to cancel I was met with numerous people telling me I had to pay off all equipment in full, even though I had their service for less than a week and their service didn't work. Why would I pay for something that didn’t work. I explained I had received a message stating I could try this service out for 14 days with no issues. I sent this message to them three different times and was told it would be uploaded to my account so I wouldn’t be charged, each time I called it was not. The tech came and picked up all equipment the following Sunday. I was told my refund would be processed 3-5 business days, nothing was received. I then had to call yet another time, and nothing was notated on my account to process a refund. Shoddy service, shoddy equipment, and no communication within the company when it comes to handling customers. I will not recommend this service to any of my colleagues or patients.

I purchased a system over a month ago and still do not know how to use my system. The sales rep over the phone promised me the installer would train me. However, after several visits from the technician (who was very slow and fell through my ceiling during the installation) he did not have enough time to train me on the equipment once he finished late that night. He promised he would come back and do it but I’ve texted him several times and called him with no reply. I called Vivint this week to ask for someone to please come out and train me and they said they didn’t do that. The customer service rep said there would be a charge if they did come out. I explained that I was promised a personal training session, so I could ask questions and understand the system. I explained my situation to her too and it was clear she certainly did not care.
Please know, I’m in a very serious situation with an ex spouse who will be getting out of jail in 50 days due to many domestic violence charges against him. I finally found the courage to finally divorce him, move into a new home and I purchased this system because it was highly recommended to me. I do not do well training over the phone (I get confused) and I need someone to personally show me how to work it and to train my 12 year old daughter. It’s sad that your promised excellent customer service when you’re sold on a product and then it’s not provided.

To be honest, I have been a bit disappointed. I had one issue immediately after installation with a wifi connection. Then two others followed thereafter. I called in last week and the gentleman was very cordial but in all honesty he seemed a little inexperienced. The phone call was an hour and a half long. Finally got two of the three issues resolved but you are still having to send someone out on something that should have been taken care of at inception. Also the earliest appointment is a month out? That is unnerving in itself that you may be that understaffed to handle issues. My salesman Jordan has been very good and has tried to help but at this point I'm wondering if I made a mistake switching my home and office from ADT.

We loved the system once it was installed but after the installation when we had questions customer service was very poor. They transfer you from person to person and at one point I was on hold for over 30 minutes. The equipment is priced ridiculously high for the same equipment you can get from other monitoring companies for a fraction of what Vivint is charging. We were told that we would get a 14 day trial and only after we agreed to keep the service we would get charged, we were charged the day after installation. We were also told that if we didn't want to keep the service after the 14 day trial that Vivint would put our system back up, that didn't happen.
When we decided not to keep the service Vivint sent a tech to remove all of their equipment but refused to put our system back up. The two Google mini's that were given to us and told that they were ours to keep even if we didn't decide to keep the service was taken back when the equipment was uninstalled. Now there are holes in our walls inside and on the front and back of the house where the cameras were removed. We are very dissatisfied and Vivint did NOTHING to make us feel like valued customers. We now have to pay our alarm company to $100.00 to put our original system back up. Everything that was told to or promised to us to get Vivint's service installed was completely false.

When a tech was in he looked at it and said he fixed it then two days later it stopped again. I called the support line on the wall panel and I was told I’d have to higher a company to come and check the wiring even though I have no problems with my old thermostat or turning my furnace on with it’s manual switch. I’m currently waiting to get a call from a tech to try and remedy the problem. Everything else works great besides the thermostat and we love the system.

I like the features of my Vivint system. I have the doorbell camera, alarm system and AC unit that you could connect to remotely from your cell phone. I would have wanted a recording machine but I didn’t realize that they had that until after I got my system. Their sales rep was pleasant and knowledgeable but they should offer more of the equipment that they have. One of the things that I also don’t necessarily like is that it doesn’t always pick up when there’s movement. I’ve noticed that. I’ve walked by the camera and then I try to go back to see what time it was that I woke up, and it doesn’t even show that I was up. There’s like a three to four second delay on the doorbell when it rings.
But when it came to the installation, the guy that came by was pretty open to my needs. He wasn’t resistant. Originally, we had a different technician come and we cancelled that one and waited for another technician and the second technician was more open to what we wanted and our needs. One of the things that should be said, however, is regarding the internet connection. After doing some research I learned that you’re able to get a different internet connection from your internet provider that could get hooked up directly to the monitor system, to the alarm system, which makes the whole cameras’ recording and detection run smoother. It sounds like I’m paying to have an extra connection exclusively for the alarm system but overall that works better than being irritated as to why there’s a delay or it’s not recording. I would recommend Vivint.

There was a door-to-door Vivint salesman that came to the house and gave me information. He was very pleasant and nice. He made me feel like the security system would be a better option than the one that I had previously, which didn’t function properly so I wasn’t using it. The installers came out and everything was very smooth. They did it all the same day because there was a neighbor that was having theirs done as well. I like all the system's features a lot. I’m able to use the app to change the temperature in the house which is great. I'm constantly using the camera to check on my animals when I’m at work or at school. It’s definitely something that’s used in my daily life where before it wasn’t used at all. The app is super user-friendly as well. I have an Apple watch and I can play with it that way. Plus it’s super affordable.
My husband is currently stationed over in Okinawa so I’m here by myself. He also likes Vivint ‘cause he can check the cameras that we have inside the house to see what our dogs are doing. He'll eventually want to add some things, like the garage door cameras and sensors, so we like it enough that we wanna keep it and add. It has given me a lot of peace of mind because I can watch my home from away. Currently I am in the Florence path and we lost power, but up until 9:30 last night, I was able to watch via my doorbell cam what was happening outside of my home.

I’ve been very happy with Vivint. I love my door locks which take the alarm off when you punch the code in. However, I haven’t had much luck with Vivint for the last five months and I’m getting a little disgruntled. I’ve been having issues with my sensors and alarms. Vivint has sent out techs three times yet we’re still having the same issues. So, I called the other day, and the guy said, “I’ll send a you a new sensor and you can replace it.” And I said, “That means I have to climb a ladder. I don’t even know how to replace a basement window sensor.” Then he said he was just trying to save us money. We pay for the premium service because of our age and we can’t be climbing ladders at 73 years old. The rep finally agreed to send out a technician who is coming next week.
There are a few issues that I’ve brought up and they don’t seem to be able to get it working. Even our daughter who started using Vivint has been having issues. And then when I phone, Vivint doesn’t want to send a technician out. I understand that it’s hard to keep technicians working, and so trying to get an appointment is very lengthy. But each time a tech has come out, I’ve been very pleased with their professionalism. They’re courteous and know what they’re doing.
I was told by a Vivint person when I phoned last July that perhaps our monitor is aged out for some of the newer technology so it’s not interpreting or acknowledging some of our sensors. When I mentioned that to Vivint when I phoned later, they just brushed it off. A couple of years ago, I paid for the door locks that will disconnect your alarm upon entry. Our cleaning lady has her own code and she has been using it for over a year, and when she used it a few weeks ago, she set the alarm off. I had to give her our personal code which seemed to work. But every time I say to Vivint we need a new monitor, they don’t want to comply. We travel a lot and we’re out on an acreage so we need to have the security. It makes me a panicky when I’m away and I get the phone calls. The app shows my cleaning lady coming in but it doesn’t show her leaving and relocking the door. It shows the front door is unlocked when it turns out that it is locked.

I was very, very wary of selecting Vivint based on the customer service reviews. Granted, most security companies have bad ratings and people rarely take time to post good ratings. However, in the end, I love the Vivint product line... so I took a chance and called today. I spoke to a customer service rep named Savon, who said he was a manager also. It was a great call and we talked through completely our needs and set up a package for us. I inquired about the report of getting charged for each service visit. Savon assured me that practice no longer happens. I was super impressed by my first interaction. I was very upfront that the major reason I was debating using Vivint was ALL the complaints about customer service. I hope the good start continues through installation and support.
For now, they impressed me. Maybe I am lucky. Maybe they are changing their ways. Maybe it is because I am a new customer. Savon gave me his email and cell and said to call if I have ANY problems. I will use that ace if I need to. I am sorry some others are having awful experiences, but their products and technology are first-rate. I know there are a ton of bad reviews, but I took a chance today and was pleasantly surprised by their customer service.

When I initially got my Vivint and everything worked correctly, I loved it. I can see who it is when people come up to my door when I'm not home and I can talk to them on the doorbell. However, I've been having trouble with my equipment for some time. Some of them are not working correctly. The cameras are off and on. Initially, it was 100%, but now, it's around 50%. The customer service has been great. However, a lot of times, they'd try to work the issues over the phone with me and I'd have to spend time out of my day to try to fix their problem. I don't like that because sometimes, it takes one or two hours and I don't have one or two hours to be sitting around trying to fix my service.
The technicians have been great. Every single one has been very knowledgeable. They just can't get it fixed correctly although the equipment worked until they leave. The online people that I have talked to on the phone have also been great. They've been patient because sometimes I get a little irritated with the equipment. Vivint wanted me to sign again but I said, "Why would I sign up for you right now if I can't get my equipment to work? It's ridiculous. Just get my stuff working correctly so I'm at a 100% and then we'll talk about it." And that's where we are at right now.

We were fairly new in the house since we built it three years ago. We have been looking at security systems and got a knock on the door from Vivint. The interaction with the rep was very good and all have been friendly. We had a couple of false alarms that were set off by our little 12-pound dog and they called us. Sometimes, when he jumps off the couch, he would set it off. I called to see if there was a way I could set it so that he wouldn’t trigger it, and they were very helpful to get me to change the setting.
I had no problems at all with the installation and the technician was very efficient. We wanted to add cameras and the technician said that there were only two days of doing it. It would either be running the wire over the outside of the house, which our HOA would not allow, or punching through the wall and running down the inside. We said no and our attic wasn’t a possibility so we did not go through with it. He was very good to return our cameras. We have the security, carbon monoxide and sound features but I wish Vivint had wireless cameras. The cost of the system is a little bit more than what I would like but it is what it is. Since having Vivint, I have peace of mind knowing that we are protected. Knowing that the alarm is set, you don’t have to worry about leaving the house or being in the house at night.

Installation of my new security system was prompt, convenient and professional. My technician, Geno **, went above and beyond anything I could have ever expected. I am completely happy with my home security purchase and even more happy that Vivint employs Geno! Top notch customer service and efficiency!

Everyone was very helpful and considerate. Both salesman and installer explained things well. I will be contacting customer service for any additional questions regarding the Vivint security system install. I haven't had enough time with the product to tell you any more about how I feel about it and my use of said product. When I have more time with it I will be able to tell you more. Until then this is all I can say about the system.
Thanks for the feedback Suzanne! We love to hear about your Vivint experiences! Thank you for choosing Vivint to protect your home and family.

The equipment is very good but it needs a good internet service to work properly. My area doesn’t offer a very fast internet so we had to overcome a few issues. But overall we are happy with the system. We only had it installed 2 weeks ago.

Not real happy. The system doesn't seem to work well. Wouldn't stay programmed the way it was set up. Had to wait for the right door knob. Installer left holes in walls. Installer didn't show up when supposed to. Installer didn't come back when he was supposed to. At least the back up installer showed up on time, and installed the right door knob, patched holes and got the program to hold the right temps at the right time. Not off to a good start.
