    The customer service from the call center was okay considering my order wasn’t accurate but my technician Eric was outstanding. He went completely above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He was super professional, extremely knowledgeable, and patient. I will definitely recommend Vivint to my friends and family, hopefully they will have the same installation experience that I did because the installation is what changed my negative review into a positive one.

    My experience with the Vivint representatives (sales & installation) were outstanding. The gentlemen were very professional and friendly. They answered all of my questions. Their responses were thorough and concise. If these gentleman are true representatives of what Vivint has to offer, I would definitely recommend Vivint to a friend.

    Being a 78 year young widow, I have trouble reading the monitor without my glasses. The VERY SMALL white font does not help. I never had any problems with my Xfinity screen. You might want to consider improving it. It was also unsettling to watch the installer drill holes into the wall to connect the alarm. Xfinity's console sat on my bedrooms dresser.

    My son told me about Vivint and I’m now in my second contract with them. They're a great company. The first time around, they accepted the features that I had in my security package and they added some window and door sensors, smoke detectors, leveling things for the garage doors, and keypads for the front and side doors. So far, I've been extremely satisfied with the service. My interactions with the sales representatives were fine initially and when I had the renewal. They were knowledgeable and willing to negotiate a little bit on the price. The installers have been great as well. We live in Naples, Florida and when we first moved here, they didn’t have anybody local for the installation, but it has been much better ever since they got local people.

    Was very nice, explained everything thoroughly. The only problem we had was that I had to wait over an hour for the survey because apparently Vivint had a high volume of calls and was unable to put our call through. Maybe hiring more operators would be a plus for such a high demand, and would keep customers more satisfied and the installers can finish their job and continue on to the next customer.

    We bought a house that had Vivint in it already so we got it redone in my name. Dealing with their reps was a good experience. They were professional, courteous and everything they needed to be. I like the camera in the doorbell feature. If I’m at work and someone rings the doorbell, I can talk to them. I also like the old lock-the-door. I like to watch the video clips and see who’s been driving around. I like the thermostat feature too. I can turn it up and down from work. The service is worth paying for. Since having the system, I've felt a lot more secure.

    I like the convenience of being able to go on the computer, go on the internet, and see the area and the pictures if the system picks up anybody. But later on, I tried to get it uninstalled because it was not serving the purpose for what I got it for. There's this man living close to me and he was stalking the home at night and causing a lot of disturbance. I only had the one camera and he found out about it, and then he avoided all of the area where the camera could pick him up. There's nothing wrong with the camera but it's sitting outside and has a light on it and that’s a dead giveaway. I contacted Vivint to have the system removed but I have not gotten a response.

    I was very impressed with the product and the presentation made by the salesman. But there was a bad communication between the salesman and the installer. Installer told me the salesman misquoted about my ring being tied into the system. I would told that the job would take 2 1/2 hours to do the install by the salesman and installer. Another install a cane to help stayed about 40 minutes and then depart. Another installer came to work stayed about 20 minutes and then departed. Total time spent installing was way too long. Six hours 3:00pm-9:10 pm. My ring is still not tied into the system? My billing is not correct. Overcharged me. Money has been taken out of my Account.

    We've been having some difficulty with our panel. It started playing havoc with different devices in the house, so we called the guards and they came down. Our smoke detector kept beeping and then, after that, we had issues with the antenna and the card. Vivint came and replaced the card in the panel. But then, the camera is still not working.

    We had a lady come here whose name is Cassandra and she wanted to sell us Vivint. We didn't have our sign put out on our garbage box like we had before because it was broken and we put it in. She gave us a new one. Then, she text messaged me her business card to see if I had any problems that we'd correspond back and forth about. She also sent me a text message that said she'd call the corporate office and figure out a solution. Then, she asked if we had heard from Vivint. We've heard from Vivint twice but they either didn't show up or they cancelled the appointment for no reason. I called the lady back and she had to look up my file and call me back. I was driving, we arrived at our destination and I had to stay in the parking lot for half an hour to talk to her. By the end of it, after I explained everything to her, she said, "Well, what can I do for you?"

    I said, "You can straighten out all the issues, and I'm not repeating myself. So, if this call was recorded, you can go back and re-listen to the issues that I've had, take them one by one, and fix them." I then messaged Cassandra back and told her that I was having issues again. She sent two medical pendants since I have parents living with me, and she told me that those had been shipped out and that a tech would come to address the panel and the indoor camera issues. However, he was the guy who kept cancelling. She also told me that a possible indoor camera and panel upgrade had been discussed and that someone would reach out to me when things were set to come out. She also told me to contact her if the issue still wasn't fixed after that. That was on the 31st of May.

    On June the 6th, Vivint was supposed to come to my house. On June the 5th, I got a message on the answering machine saying that they couldn't reach us, so they were cancelling our appointment. They didn't phone here. They didn't phone my cellphone. I have call display at home. My child, who is 16, was home and he said the phone didn't ring. So, I guess they went through some automated service to get right to the voicemail. I phoned back and asked Cassandra if she could rebook it. She said she couldn't, so I hung up. I was frustrated.

    She said, "They're over-complicating everything. In July, I'm going to upgrade your entire system and have you paying less than what you are now. That would be easiest. However, I know you're waiting to have this done right away. So, I'm going to call tomorrow morning and find out an appointment time." She asked me what time works best for me. I told her that I would make arrangements to be home whenever they say they're coming. I also told her the dates I wouldn't be available.

    Then, I messaged her and said, "What's going to happen?" She said she'd call me and then I talked to her on the phone. She was waiting on a response from them. They had to send an email and it will be next week sometime. On June 11th, I told her we got the medical buttons and she said, "I'll call them today and see what else I can get sorted out. There shouldn't be much of a hassle for you, but I'll do my best." I thanked her. On June 18th, she called me back and asked me if Vivint reached out to me. I said, "They called and left a message that they wanted to reschedule and that was the last I heard of them. I haven't heard them since." She then told me that she'd call them and that she'll send them an email with both my home and cellphone number. I told her that my cellphone is always the best because it's always with me. But she told me that she gave Vivint my cellphone number and they told her that they called it but it was busy.

    I was at the hospital with my brother-in-law. He had a heart attack and my father-in-law was a nervous wreck at the time, so we were busy. I made my own appointment on June 28th. They were supposed to come on June 30th but they didn't. On July 1st, I messaged Cassandra and said, "Seriously, no one showed up at my appointment. It was supposed to be between 8:00 and 10:00 this morning. My husband was home, but I left the house at 9:30. This is getting ridiculous." Then on July 7th, I messaged her back and told her that there was still no explanation. I also told her that it was July and that we can entertain the whole discount deal she was talking about. She said she was sorry and that she was away, and that she didn't have service. She suggested checking how my deal was and asked how long I have left on my contract.

    I phoned in and asked and my contract time is September 29th, 2020. She told me she'd look into it. Then, she asked me how much it would be if I cancel my system. I told her I didn't know but I can phone in and find out. Vivint told me that it would be the full contract amount that I'm paying. She told me that due to privacy reasons, Vivint would not give her any money. So she gave me the number and told me that I should call. I called Cassandra on July 15th and told her that I have to pay 14 months, so it would be $80.49 times 14, which is $1,126.84. She said, "Okay, no worries. If that's not the best route, I'll call in tomorrow and figure it out." Now, we're into August and I'm not even getting my July offer. I'm still sitting in exactly the same position. My camera still doesn't work. My front door still doesn't light up.

    My camera records, but I have to shut it off. I can only view it live because when it records, it records seven notifications in one second. It just keeps constantly recording even when there's no movement. The only benefit of having it here now is when I put my Crock-Pot on in the morning, when I go to work, I look and make sure it's not on fire. There's no other point of having a camera in my house because it's not gonna record anything. I'm not happy. Walk away from Vivint. I have phoned Bell and asked them if I could hook up with them but they're not available in my neighborhood right now. That's the only reason why I'm still with Vivint. I have everything else in my house with Bell. Bell told me that when their system becomes available, they will buy me out of my contract and sign me up.

    We originally signed up for service in 2012 and even transferred our service to Oklahoma City, OK when we moved from NM in 2016. In May of 2018 I accepted a new job and we moved to Greenville, SC. I called to cancel service because we would be renting in Greenville and was told by the representative that we were still in contract so I told them I’d call back when we moved in June to decide what we would do. When I called back on June 18th I was delighted to hear after the rep went through the notes on my account that I was not in contract and could cancel at any time. I told him that is what I wanted to do and he said I would have to send my request by email.

    When I called back to confirm they received my request to cancel the rep said I was in contract and couldn’t cancel, I asked her to review the notes because I just got off the phone and the person I spoke to not 10 minutes earlier said I was not. Eventually after reviewing the notes and talking with her supervisor she got back on the phone and said I was not under contract but that it would take a few days to process my request. I called back 1 month later after I noticed my account had been debit the monthly service fee to find out why my request was not processed. The new representative I spoke to said they never received my original request so I forwarded him my email to his individual email and request that he respond back that he received it, he never did.

    I called back a few weeks later and after requesting once again for them to cancel my service the representative said according to the notes I signed a new 42 month agreement in 2015 that ran up to 2019, when I inquired why would I have signed a new agreement in 2015 he said according to the notes it was to waive a service fee for someone to come out and repair my equipment, I asked how much that service would have cost me and he said $50.00. When I told him I would never sign up for additional 42 months to waive a $50.00 service fee he said they keep audio recordings and that he could have another department pull the audio and send me a clip.

    I never received the clip or another call back from anyone to play me the audio. I called back today (3 weeks later) and the rep said they called my wife’s number and played her the clip, my wife said no one called her. I asked the rep as kindly as possible if he could have someone call back my number and play me the clip or email me the audio. The rep said during the week someone can normally call back within 2 hours, I called at 2:30PM this afternoon and as I write this review it is 8:23PM and no one has called. I would recommend no one use Vivint as they treat their customers very poorly. My next call will be to my state's, Attorney General’s office on Monday.

    The neighborhood was a new development and Vivint's reps were walking around recruiting people. I decided to work with them because it was a good price and it was the right time. We decided we needed it. We have two outdoor cameras, one indoor camera, one glass break notification thing, and several door and window alarms. The person that showed up for the installation was late because they had booked too many people. Then, he said he couldn’t install the camera, so a different guy had to come back the next day. It was kind of irritating. This was two years ago and I guess they were really busy. Everything has been great with their reps and they have very good response for everything and any issues that we've had.

    Recently, I would look at it and it would say, “Your cameras are offline,” and I would have to reboot. I've had to do that three times in the last month and I've forgotten to call and have them come and see what's wrong. It seemed to have been happening after we had the extra camera added on and I need to have someone to come out here and make sure everything’s working right. Other than that, the service has been good. It's nice to be able to do everything from the app on your phone and having cameras that you can see what's going on is great. We love it.

    What we have with Vivint is meeting our needs right now. Their installation team was unobtrusive. They did their job and went on. We only had one problem and it was at the middle of our service. We changed where the motion sensor detector was and it was in the room where we have a fireplace. Our logs shifted in the fireplace that was burning and it set off our motion detector and nobody was home. They notified us but they had the wrong location with the numbers of the different door, back door, garage door and front door.

    They were numbered so what it said was going off was not the sensor so it made it looked like somebody had entered our house. Now, that has been taken care of and we haven’t had that problem anymore. They were very gracious in eliminating the cost of coming back and fixing that. I shouldn’t have to pay for this call because it wasn’t my fault that the sensors were done wrong. Otherwise, we haven’t had a problem and I just deduct the $44.99 from our checking account each month.

    We have a Vivint Security System and I can say working with Vivint has been the most horrible experience ever. We have had to call multiple times because our camera doorbell does not record clips. We get transferred from department to department and when we do get a rep on the line, the outcome is the same, NO RESOLUTION. We are at a loss since Vivint can't seem to fix the problem but does say they can send someone out only to charge us $120. That's outrageous and not very customer service like considering they were very fast at selling us their system. I would NEVER recommend Vivint to anyone.

    Our house already had door and window sensors. Vivint added some glass breakage as well as a system to monitor our smoke detectors in case there was a fire. They also put in the garage door, a carbon monoxide sensor and a couple of remotely programmable switches for lamps so we could have those turned on and off while we're out of the house. However, we moved and we disconnected our service. Our new home has a prepaid system and we're making use of that.

    I also didn't like dealing with Vivint's customer service or sales reps. They were always passing me back and forth to different departments. When they did, a lot of times, we got cut off. One time, we spent three hours on the phone with them because we got cut three to four times. Furthermore, nobody knew who we needed to talk to and put us on hold. During that time, we wound up on perpetual hold and nobody would ever come back to us. All we wanted that time was to turn off our old system because we were no longer there and there were new buyers of the property. But then, the app that we had on our phone was still telling us when the doors would open and close and that's not right for the new homeowners.

    Nevertheless, I loved the service of Vivint when we have an alarm that goes off. Their team is on top of the situation and get right with me. I felt that the service they provided was top notch. One time, we spent the winter in South Carolina 'cause I got called away for work. We weren't at home to keep track on things. The Vivint system was wonderful. We were able to check the house and make sure everything was armed. Still, we had a bad experience when we called in for assistance and we had to pay to get out of contract.

    We are more than unhappy with both the company and the products from this company. Over a year ago now we were sold on this system by a door to door sales man who first of all gave us false information pertaining to the amount that Vivint would cover to get us out of our current contract with another alarm company. We didn't find this out until after it was installed of course. From there we have had nothing but problems from the cameras not recording to the panel always being offline and us not being able to view any live feed...

    Also the cameras always go offline. We don't get notifications when we should... My doorbell doesn't often work or record... we called for support MANY times. We have the fastest internet possible and have been told by the company that the problem is our internet... My husband has the tools to test internet speed as he works for the providers SO that's clearly not the problem... We had a false alarm and we were home... Vivint said they had to dispatch someone and charged us yet NO ONE CAME AND WE WERE HOME!!!

    From there we had a technician come to our house who said system cannot be fixed... He suggested running all new wiring and new equipment for which he wanted to add a new panel in a different location in our entrance way... this will be panel number 3??? Are you kidding me!! We were originally told the existing panel spot from old company couldn't be used so they added a new one... cut another hole in my wall... then technician said it could have been... so here I sit with a system that costs WAY more than other systems who offer just as much or more and it barely even works... I am such an upset customer and the fact that we have now spent hours on the phone trying to deal with this company just assures that I will tell everyone I know NOT to get a Vivint system!!!

    I called Vivint about my system, and they came and fixed it. I called again last March as the doorbell was damaged and they said that I needed to buy another one and pay for it which I didn’t understand. It has not even been a year and they’re gonna charge me for this. I told them that I've called them so many times to fix my problem and if it can resolve it, they can go ahead and put it on and I’ll pay for it. So I paid, and after that, the other worry was the issues with the camera. It was in the backyard and when I look at it through my phone, it says, “Loading and loading.” So I called again and told them, “Maybe that’s because it’s far away from the panel” and I told them to switch it to the front. They came and moved it from the back to the front door but I still have the same issue like two weeks later.

    The last time I called, a guy told me there was an issue with the software and they were gonna send me another camera for $450, which was fine as long as it’s gonna resolve the problem. So they came and got it put on. Then the guy said, “It might fix it, it might not” and I was like, “What do you mean?” He said that since I got four cameras and the doorbell, it’s taking so much megabytes that could do this and this. I was so angry when he said that to me. They didn’t tell me that the first time. They just asked me how many cameras I wanted and so I pointed to each location that I wanted but I wasn't told that if I get so many cameras, they'd go down, loading and loading, and then if it’s loaded, it’s gonna be too slow or I won't be able to open it.

    Anyway, it worked fine for about two months but the other day, I was looking at it through my iPhone and the camera looked like it was off. I was like, “Oh my God! I’m not gonna call anyone. I’m not gonna waste my time for that to call you all and tell you that I had the same issue.” So what I did, I came home and I reboot the panel from my home and it worked fine. It’s strange sometimes because it’s like off the camera and it looks like for the next two hours, whenever I get a chance, it came back on, the camera. So, I’m not too happy with it. I’m not sure that I did the right decision to get in contact with Vivint. For the first three months, I had no problem because some guy would come to my house and I told him that my system works just fine. However, after that, no one showed.

    I changed home security companies on Sat. Today is Monday and since the install Vivint has lost connection with the sensors at least 5 times. Making wonder how secure my home actually is. When the Vivint system loses connection to my door sensors. I guess I need to really make sure the doors are locked. The security system fails at least 2 twice a day. I would not recommend securing with Vivint.

    I have never bought a security system - or any product outside of girl scout cookies for that matter - via a door-salesman. However, my pieced-together personal security system (non-monitored Samsung SmartThings devices) had been giving me trouble for months when the Vivint team came up to our door. They were personable, even while braving the Memphis humidity and heat, and knowledgeable about the product and service they were selling.

    I was impressed with the immediate set-up of the system, the smart home technology it included, and the service of the install team. There are no wires bulging everywhere - everything was cleanly installed. Another great point for me was the opportunity to test the system for a few days and decide if I really want to keep it. After doing the math of total and monthly payments, along with the great service and devices - moving to Vivint was FAST and easy and made sense for our home and budget. I didn't wake up thinking I would finally replace our security system that day, but Vivint helped us make that change and I have been impressed ever since.

    Vivint's sales representatives were very efficient and they knew their business. I was impressed that they were very pleasant individuals. The installers did the installation the same day and they did it very quickly and efficiently. We have a couple of doors that are glass, so if somebody broke through those and stepped through them, it would not trigger the alarm because they wouldn't have to open the door. And the system doesn't cover windows. Vivint's a good system but it isn't a perfect one. But overall, for what we got, it's fine.

    The system definitely works. We've had experiences with false alarms, and it registers quickly and the representative from the company calls immediately. It's a very fast reaction time on the part of the monitoring folks. There are some things that could happen to us that wouldn't be necessarily picked up by the system, but I'm sure they have options for those other eventualities that we just didn't choose to take advantage of. All in all, Vivint is a company that can be counted on to help you. They react very quickly to any event. So, they're going to be there for you if you need them in the event of a break-in.

    We were very dissatisfied with our last home security. Now with Vivint, we have a glass break sensor and we have different door sensors. We have motion detectors and the video camera as well. We're able to customize a little bit within the package without going way over budget. But the sales rep was horribly pushy and aggressive. We had already said no, but he really wouldn't leave. He was here for two hours and finally, we gave in. On the other hand, the installation team was really good and they were really nice.

    However, we've had problems with the equipment. Some of them, we've covered up and we're not using anymore because they're just a little bit too sensitive and it was always triggering off an alarm. We have trees in the front yard and the shadows trigger it too easily, and there's not really a whole way that we can decrease the sensitivity on that. Calling customer service is such a hassle and it takes so long to get through. Also, they're just too much by the book. It's like, "Have you unplugged it?" It's like you wanna say, "Duh. I think I've done a lot of this stuff before I even got desperate enough to call you all." There's a lot of things that just dealing with customer service is a hassle, I just don't even do it. Research other options. There are probably cheaper and a little bit easier security systems to deal with.

    However, the system has an issue right now. I’m not at home and I can’t lock my back door. I have been in contact with Vivint customer service several times and it just keeps doing the same thing. I have been on on hold on the phone for hours and then by the time I get to somebody I’m transferred to customer service.

    I wanted a security system that included cameras for me and my family, I found Vivint. I set up installation 3 times. They told me that they would be out and never showed up. Finally they came and installed everything. At first they seemed great but then I kept having issues. The cameras would black out. They would skip. I would call and be on hold for more than 30 minutes no matter what time of day I would call. I have made so many calls to them and have wasted countless hours of my time. When I do speak to an agent they are very condescending and rude. The techs are the only good part of the company especially Leonard. He has been to my house a few times and is the best. He is so nice helpful and very concerned about what I need as a Vivint customer, they finally had Leonard come out and install new outdoor cameras.

    Recently my new issue was the front door lock failed so I was without a locked front door for about 3 weeks. The customer service reps informed me that they do not install the lock which I don't understand if it's their equipment, so they sent me the new door lock. It looked different but I thought they would know what to send me, me and my family tried to install it but it was very confusing and I have very bad eyesight so once again I called and waited on hold for over 30 minutes to finally talk to an agent that was very rude and told me that old ladies can install the lock which I thought was no way any agent should talk to a customer. Finally they said, "Ok we'll send a tech."

    As soon as Leonard saw the lock he said, "Sorry they sent you the wrong lock." He called customer service for me and had to wait on hold just like a customer. I would assume their own employees could call a different number and get right through. After multiple transfers they said they will send the correct door lock. I have never in my 50 plus years had an experience like this horrible and rude customer service, they just don't care. I don't understand. This past year of wanting peace of mind with my home security has been exhausting, stressful and caused much anxiety.

    First off I just wanted to say that these people lie. I was home one day and a salesmen came to my door and presented me with Vivint, a cutting edge security system that can control your thermometer, lights, motion detector and has a doorbell that records videos. It all sounded amazing so I decided to purchase it. The very next day the system lost WiFi, so I couldn’t even access the system while I was at work. I was told it would still record even while it was offline, which was a lie. I called the service team and was told that they couldn’t fix it. I then had to call the guy would sold me the system and he came over, told me that apparently they received a batch of faulty panels from the manufacturer and they just needed to replace it.

    That night a technician came over to replace the motherboard, which did not fix the issue. After about 2 hours they decided to replace it with a brand new, “hasn’t even been released to the public” smart hub panel. The seller told me that this new model wouldn’t have any issues. Only a week had passed before another issue with the smart hub panel came up. It is an inconvenience on me to have to call multiple times a month to have any issues with this system taken care of. This security system is not worth buying and I wish I never had.

    We had a hit and run outside our house just a few days before the Vivint sales guy shows up at my door after a long day of work. We were heading on a weeklong vacation starting the coming weekend. It all sounded so great and so fair because I was so nervous about leaving our house unprotected. We got two outdoor cameras and a doorbell camera. The day after installation, I questioned the cost and looked in our contract and all the emails for a detailed list of what the equipment and service cost. When I couldn’t find it, I emailed support as well as our sales guy. After a few days I still didn’t have it and I wish I had cancelled the service then, within the “three day cancellation” period. I called Vivint. It takes FOREVER to get anyone on the phone. I finally was sent an invoice with the detailed charges.

    Why did it have to take so long and why did it have to take me threatening to cancel to receive something I should have received the minute I signed up? It gave me such an uneasy feeling about the company. Greedy, sneaky, dishonest. While we were on vacation, the backyard camera stopped working. We came home and I called Vivint. Waited forever to speak with someone again. We had the service for only 12 days and we were not treated like customers they wanted to keep happy. After a long over the phone troubleshoot, it was determined we needed a technician to come to our house. This is what has me so furious with the company. We were told they had an opening in the middle of the day on Wednesday. We had JUST gotten back from vacation and could not take off work.

    We were told that the next evening or weekend appointment would be over two weeks away! We had the cameras for less than two weeks and we were supposed to go another two weeks without their equipment working??? And I was talked to as if I should feel guilty by not being available in the middle of the work day. I was furious and eventually convinced them to find something sooner and amazingly, wow! Something this Saturday is available! Where was that opening before??? We are stuck in a stupid long contract and I cannot be more mad about it. I wish we could return all of the equipment and get rid of this company. I will never recommend Vivint to friends and family. In fact I am already doing the opposite by warning them not to use y’all.

    I liked the products of Vivint. I liked what they were offering and they had what I wanted in the package. The people that came in were local. It was cool to have them come and install. It took about two hours to do it. However, there are some things that I would like to see that aren't being done currently with Vivint. One of the things is it seems like their system requires a fast internet connection. I get the purposes of that.

    Their cameras save the information through the internal network, to an internal device that have the sky panel and it requires a good internet connection speed for that to occur because of all the uploading and all of the live data going back and forth, which I don't feel necessary. A closed connection should be more appropriate with cameras instead of having to require internet connection for cameras to work internally.

    The other part is there are too many limitations onto what I can/cannot do with the application or the app on the phone. One big thing is, since the garage door is not part of the inner circle of security, if the garage door is opened while I am away, I can't be notified. There's no way to do that and so if my garage door is open and I'm not there things can be stolen in my garage but yet my alarm doesn't go off so there's got to be a way to make that happen and it doesn't seem like there is. I kinda get why they do that because of the fact that when you go into your garage, then you will only have 30 seconds to disarm your system while you're trying to get into your door and to your panel. The function of not even allowing any type of notification or anything while your system is armed, to say that your garage door opened while you system is armed is the big issue right there.

    There was a gentleman that came to our door and he presented the Vivint program. I liked his presentation and my husband was ill at that time and the idea of security was something that we felt we needed to do. I’ve been with Vivint for about seven years now and there have been a few times where the alarm has gone off by mistake and their response time was excellent. When I moved though, I had a difficult time getting the signage and stickers for my service, so I transferred my service to a different place. I moved to a neighborhood that’s not a good neighborhood, so the signage was very important for me to have out in the front yard immediately. It took about three weeks to get the signs, so it was unnerving and I was being tossed from one rep to another with a lot of different excuses that didn’t make a lot of sense. But eventually, they got it right. I would recommend Vivint.

    Reviewed July 29, 2018

    The Vivint salesman that cam by the house about five years ago was good and the installers, for the most part, did everything. They didn’t ever hook up the window sensors and that was something I talked to the Vivint team about it and again, I was still waiting to hear back on the rest of it. I just figured out that they never terminated them. They never actually hooked them up. I recently had a doorbell camera installed and I like that it’s a little bit more active. It seems like it doesn’t catch a lot of the times when people come to the door for the visitor settings and then the video feed is extremely choppy, and being that I only use my mobile device to look at it. It’s kind of hard to use it for what I thought I’m gonna be able to use it for.

    The only unfortunate feature that I found so far with the system that I wasn’t really happy with, and I’ve kind of talked about it to some of Vivint customer support, is that there's no feature for the panel itself to be locked. So, if friends and if somebody else is in the house or doing whatever, they can access the camera controls, the temperature controls, and everything. The only part that’s locked is the setting where you have to put in your code, which I have found a little odd. Especially if you have cameras, you wouldn’t want a house guest to be necessarily able to look at them or pull up feed or anything else like that. That slightly defeats the purpose. There’s a newer model out now but it’s not available at our market down here in Mississippi. They were supposedly looking into it but I haven’t heard of this thing yet. But for the most part, I’ve been happy with the service so I renewed.

    We looked into Vivint and it was something that made sense for us. The kind of the promise of being able to access it on our phone was very helpful. The sales rep who came by, Kyle, was helpful, friendly and he explained the whole thing quite well. He also talked us through the options that were available. He let us ask some questions about the pros and cons of each of the portions and it wasn’t high pressure with trying to get us to sign up for things that we didn’t need for what we were wanting in our lifestyle. The installation process was fine. It took a little bit longer than what I expected because of a couple of snags with coding the keys but it wasn’t too onerous. We were trying to see if we could use an older set of keys that we had and code them to the new locks but it didn’t work.

    We have a fairly aggravating scenario that’s been occurring. Our panel goes dormant and we have to reset it at least once a month which is incredibly frustrating. We have to call Vivint, go into the basement, unplug the system, then open the panels, disconnect the battery, go back to the basement, plug it in, come back upstairs, reconnect the battery and close up the panel. We have to get somebody to come out and kind of drill out a little bit more of the deadbolt hole just because it's not working perfectly all the time. It's clicking and not registering as having locked even though it was. Once that was fixed, the system is good. It's just that the reliability of the pad has not been better. If it doesn’t work, then I just couldn't recommend it.

    The salesman from Vivint was very good and professional. Also, the features such as the motion detection, the glass breaking, and fire are fine. But I would prefer it to have a video where I could monitor on my phone in case something goes wrong. I also like that the system does automatic alert to the police and fire departments, and emergency response. If it wasn’t for that, I would probably replace everything with my own equipment and just alert myself or the neighbors if there’s a break in. However, the installation was not great because there were a couple of holes put in that didn’t quite work in that placement so then Vivint had to drill another hole and when they plugged the equipment, the hole was very apparent.

    I had just renewed the service and was spending a lot of money for it. However, I got very upset with the number of false alarms which seemed too often. Every time a battery would go dead, the alarm would go off and then we’d get contacted by the company within seconds or minutes. Each battery runs differently but they probably last for a year so it’s not a quick thing. But it’s like a smoke detector where when it starts going off, it wakes everybody else up in the house. In this case, not only did it wake everybody else up, but the alarm company and the police department were contacting us. And then, it’s usually about an hour process to figure out which detector has a battery going low which was very frustrating.

    I tried to get out of my contract but they said no and that it would be three years before I could cancel out of it. They also said I could cancel it, but they would still be charging me for the next three years which wasn't a very professional way of handling it at all. I’m definitely going to cancel out the second I can. I don’t think a company should not stand behind their product and not release somebody that doesn’t want to be with them anymore.

    My initial reaction with the sales reps was not very good. They're terribly confused. They have two different divisions and they hire outside consultants to come to the house also. One installation team got in competition with the other and started setting up the system five days early and stole the other team's commission. I was very disappointed overall. That was a different installation team and they were subs who didn’t work for Vivint. They drove out from Utah and canvassed our area and I thought they were the original team. They did not say they weren't and they started putting stuff in. Vivint knew exactly what was going on and the original team was very disappointed because they set out of the deal and they didn’t put anything in. The other team, the outside consultants, was here for two days and they left not completing the job. So I had to call back and have someone else come and finish it.

    It was through friends of mine that I first heard of Vivint and I decided to get them for the equipment that they have. I have their service but they couldn’t come through with what I wanted. Vivint still has not provided me the coverage that I had wanted that they promised me in the beginning. If I take them to court, I could probably beat them.

    Furthermore, the cameras outside did not work. The reps came out three times, and finally the repairman said they couldn't get it to work. So they changed it up. Also, I have a wine cellar they were supposed to put a thermostat in. I also have a garage where they were supposed to put something in so I could open and close it from anywhere. Vivint couldn’t do all three of them. I have a friend trying to sign up right now and I told this friend not to sign any contracts ahead of time like I did because now I'm in a five-year contract that I can't get out of.

I got an alarm trigger at 9:46 PM and at 10:56 I had the area police there.

    The installation team was also very well-informed. I had lots of questions when they installed the device and they took their time and showed me how the devices and the app on the phone work. However, while I could monitor if my garage door is open I could not use any device that’s compatible with my particular model to open and close the garage door. I have a vacation home and I also want the ability to turn the lights on without the use of a little z-way connection. The z-way with Vivint don’t seem to work as well.

    We have the alarm and cameras included in our Vivint service package and we recently added a new thermostat through Nest. So far, the service has been really good, although, initially, we had a few little bumps on the road with the equipment and the installation. One of the guys fell through the roof, but he didn’t hurt himself and he stayed calm and everything was taken care of. I’m picky about some things and after they were done and gone, I went up in the attic to check on some things and I wasn’t that impressed with the way they routed the wiring. But we like the system and it works great.

    We still keep in touch with the sales rep. We needed to change the thermostat out in the house and we noticed that Vivint had some access to some of that, so we called and spoke to him about that. He set us up and we were in line for another camera. We dealt a lot at one time. And when we’ve had a few issues, the tech support people have been great. They’ve answered all of our questions or they’ve had people come out when we needed. Initially, they overreached their ability to service the area and the response in our area was more than they expected.

    But now, the technicians have been added. I’ve seen more of the vehicles around town a little more, so when we have an issue, we’ve got people available. The only issue we had was when we had some equipment changed. Some of it might have had some issues and they came back and replaced it. Customer service and tech support have been good overall. The sales reps that we've dealt with were all top-notch.

From what I experienced I would not recommend Vivint to anyone. You will spend most of your time waiting on hold for Customer Service to maintain the system on a daily basis.

    My first year of doing business with Vivint was awesome but the next four years progressively got worse in service and excuses. The people who I called in and talked to were absolutely worthless on the phone, except for the last guy. He was awesome. He was the first guy in three years that I've talked to in Vivint who has the heart to help people and an attitude that cares for the customer. While with the previous four people who I talked to, I got so fed up with their excuses that I just hung up.

    I had an issue where my panel quit communicating while I'm out of town. When I got back home, I called Vivint and found out that my panel was 14 updates behind, and that Vivint didn't push out updates. I had to call in and sit on hold for 10 minutes to get somebody on the phone. And then I had to stand in front of the panel while they push the update and they did it all over the phone.

    Then, I had another time where the power went out at my house for 37 minutes and my panel quit working because the battery wasn't good enough to keep it running for 37 minutes. I called Vivint and I let them know what was going on. They said that it looked great from their end and I told them it was until I lost power. They said that the battery was only supposed to last six hours, but that didn’t make sense since it went out after 37 minutes. Then, they said that they would come out and fix it but it would be $35 to send a tech. They came out here to put in a brand-new panel because the one I've got, which I bought and paid for over the course of five years, was already acting up and the panel that they put in for replacement is still acting up. I shouldn't be paying to have them come out and fix the stuff they put in. So, I told them that I'm out.

    There was nothing that made me madder about my contract with Vivint knowing that I was locked into a contract with a company that did not care and that I didn't have a choice and I had to pay them. And that was evident in their tone and how they handled me as a customer. I am thankful my five years with Vivint is up and I can put this company behind me.

They are on top of it charging me the old contract amount of 79.94. I have a new contract as I got rid of somethings when we did the move. New contract 5/18/18 states monthly payment of 59.99. Supervisor told me that was wrong. So seems they are making me pay a null and void contract the higher amount than the contract signed 5/18/18. So Vivint you're not going to honor this new signed contract of yours with!!! Bad business indeed. Stay away from Vivint.

Soon after the sale, like within 30 minutes, the technicians came and had the system set up as well as gave a tutorial. This was done in 5 hours. The technicians were cordial and professional. They came in and did their job without fanfare.

    We got talking with a woman in her booth and we figured out that Vivint had a good price for our home security. I had no clue what I was doing and she was friendly and very knowledgeable all the way up until a month and half ago. I’ve been contacting her on and off. I was trying to get some more information and a couple of technical issues were happening also. She straightened those right up too.

    We have the camera doorbell and the motion sensor, and those features are good, especially for the price. We're trying to figure out if we could add something for our garage in the backyard. We’re hoping for an actual camera. Nonetheless, The Vivint system has been the most awesome thing ever. We live in the decent side of town but criminals are stupid and they travel anywhere so we've felt safer in our home with our doorbell.

    We've been with Vivint for several years and everything has been good. However, I replaced the battery of the back sensor and it probably hasn't worked in about a year. Also, I don't know what the matter is with the keypad in the front, so we've been having to use a key to get in and out. I can't even set my alarm. I have to manually do it and override it so I can get the alarm active. I've been troubleshooting it myself. The rep told me that if somebody came out, they would charge and so I said that I'll just figure it out. I can't get the issues fixed, but I don't want to be charged, so I've been leaving it like what it's worth. Nonetheless, we are very satisfied with the service package that we have.

    I liked the products that Vivint had from what it looked like on the internet. I also liked their reviews. I did some research before I called the representative, then I had them go through the same things that I figured out on the internet. The reps were informative and they did well. Any issues I’ve had, they’ve taken care of immediately. The installer did a good job too. He was prompt and got it taken care of quickly. From what I’ve seen on Vivint's costs, they’re not out of line with any of the other companies. I’m satisfied with the equipment.

    I have a camera for the front and the backyard, and a doorbell from Vivint and so far, we like them. Sometimes, we forget what we're cooking on the stove, and then we start doing something else. The next thing we know, the alarm's going off. Their reps have all been helpful when I call. And when the technician came over one day, she was very helpful. The only thing I don't really care for is that I couldn't pick up the pad and take it with me. It must be left on the wall. Also, I didn't like it when they got rid of the thing where the light stayed on 24/7, 'cause I used it as a nightlight. They said they did it like that because the other way was ruining the screen too much. But overall, everything's been fine with them. In fact, I've already recommended Vivint to a friend.

    I Googled the top security systems because I had ADT before and I wanted to change. When I talked to the customer service rep at Vivint, I liked how everything was in-house which he said ADT security was not. Also, the flat screen touchscreen pricing wasn’t any different than the ADT ones, but ADT was charging more. The first sales rep that I had was pretty awesome, and the people that came and installed were great. The installers were very personable and fast. The service package has the doorbell camera, the screen, the temperature gauge, the monitor and the regular security. There are some minor issues with the equipment, but it’s been pretty good. Vivint is way better than ADT.

    I needed to upgrade the alarm system in my home. I had a wired system previously and I was making some changes in my home and wanted to go with newer technology. My son works for Prime America and they are partnered with Vivint. I had the choice of what I wanted at the moment and purchased wireless cameras from Vivint and I felt that I secured my home adequately with what my selection was. The installer came in, inspected what she had to do and did a clean job in a short time. She showed me how the system worked but it was a little overwhelming because there were a lot of explanations. It’ll be nice to have some place to go to where I could review that. But everything works the way the installer said it would.

    I’ve tripped the alarm a couple of times and I’ve gotten immediate calls confirming that everything is secure, or who was supposed to be in the home, checking if I knew the password, if I actually belong there or if am I an intruder. The response was fast. In fact, one day I tripped the alarm and before I reached the panel, I got a phone call. I’ve been very satisfied.

    I had somebody that came to my door and spoke about the Vivint service and I saw them on the neighborhood and I figured it was pretty good. We bought the system that is about $100 a month with the cameras, the recording systems and all the good stuff. Somebody came in, set up the cameras and they were very attentive. It took a couple of hours. They came in and right on the spot they made their way. The system is also straightforward enough. The only concern is just the quality of the system. It's not the best.

    I have several issues. I must have called at least 10 different occasions with issues about the system always going down and not recording. As of now, I'm still having some discrepancies with the system and I just don't have the time to call and bother with them anymore. Their customer service reps were cordial enough but as far as situation in terms of resolving the issues, they could do a better job.

    Vivint's online reviews are good and the type of system they put in seems more simplistic to me. It runs on our own router. But, the selling point to me was that they offered a lot of smart stuff for the house to incorporate in the alarm system at a really reasonable rate. Their service personnel is great too. After the initial installation, I changed my mind on something else and they sent someone immediately who came out and changed to what I wanted. They also gave me quite a few deals as far as price cuts for six months and it's been about four or five months.

    Vivint installed the alarm and completely made my house smart, so all my lights are controlled as well as the thermostats, garage doors, front door lock, and rear door lock. The smartphone features also run well, but anyone who joins Vivint's service is at the mercy of their Wi-Fi because their signal strength determines whether or not they're gonna have spotty issues. Vivint assesses that initially and they can tell what areas their systems are gonna run well. Mine's good about 95% of the time. 5% of the time it's kinda glitchy, but overall, it works really well. I'm very happy with Vivint.

    We used to have a security system through Monitronics then we switched to Vivint for the service and the cost. We were first approached at Sam's Club then people came to the house. They were very pleasant and competent. They answered questions, explained the features and compared the system we had with the Vivint one then made us a proposal that made sense to us. We got general monitoring, a thermostat, a camera in front, and locks in the garage and the front door. And the installation was very short. Apparently Monitronics and Vivint have very similar systems so they were very compatible. A lot of stuff was simply reused. We’ve had the Vivint system for a couple of months and so far, the people have been very nice.

    Most security companies offer free equipment and waive the installation cost especially to disabled veterans. Your service essentially locks in a person to a five year contract until the equipment cost is paid off... it would be a big plus if veterans were able to get a discount.

    I was very upset with Vivint way back when I fell twice and they did not respond. Then when I asked them about canceling, they told me I had to stay with them or pay the backup fee till the contract was over. I didn't even know I had a contract because years ago, they dropped my rate down and they didn't tell me. I got a phone call a couple of months after they did that. When I called to ask why it went down, they told me I had a new contract but I never picked up on how long the contract was. Also, they didn't call to tell me or send me any emails that the rate went back up to 40-some dollars a month. When I got my bank statement, I called them and they said, "You're not under that contract anymore." I said, "I didn't even know I was on a contract to start with."

    Then when I wanted to leave because I had two episodes where there was no response, they said they never got the call. I said that my daughter pushed the buttons after I did and it didn't work. So, they sent me a new pendant. I told them, "I don't need the pendant anymore because I'm outside more than I'm inside at summertime." I don't even have it on my neck 'cause I never put it on or activate it since I can't trust it.

    A man came around many years ago and convinced me that Vivint was a better deal than ADT was. When I got the pendant way back, he had me to believe it was good for anywhere around the outside. When I had trouble and I called and complained, they told me, "It only works in the house. It's not set up to work outside the door." But everything else is fine. My daughter wanted me to give it up right away, but I can't. All these years, I've had it and lived alone and I appreciate knowing it's there to protect me. They also tell me when the batteries die and I really appreciate that.

Also, the installers were friendly guys and they helped me set up and program my phone. My system does the fire emergency and glass breakage, and it's sensitive if I knock something over. I should've gotten a camera for the outside and another one for the inside, though. I also like the doorbell as I see who is at the door. And if my doorbell rings and I'm not here, it rings on my telephone. The smartphone app is pretty easy to use too. If I forget to lock my door, I can set the alarm on my door from my phone.
