I’m not happy at all with the service. I’ve had the service only 3 weeks and it has only worked for 1 day. I’ve been calling, they say they’re sending someone out! No one has came yet!! They said they sent me a router three weeks ago. I have not received it yet!

This by far is the worst customer service I have ever received. My panel has frozen multiple times and I had a service appointment this morning that was missed. Now I'm without a working security system. RUN or don't answer the door if the salesperson comes knocking!!! Run away!!

I have had the system for about 3 weeks, within the first 4 days of having the system, all my sensors in the house went out. I was out of town during this time and wasn’t able to fix them due to me having to be near the panel to call support. Once I got back 2 weeks later, I rebooted the system thinking it just needed a reboot. It worked correctly for about 2 hours and then had the issue again. We called support in which they told me the sensors were programmed wrong or something along the lines of that.
Now I am getting ready to leave again for an extended period of time and my wife will have to make a trip back to the house just to go to an appointment scheduled randomly without y’all even calling us to tell us. You said around the 13th of July and you’d call to confirm. No call was given. I just feel a security system should be operatable 24/7 and have minimal issues. Right now I am fully regretting not going with another company. I enjoyed the system and how it works when it actually works. I hope this gets fixed soon.

No expected date for my door locks and my door does not close properly with the lock. Right now I am going to have to replace it just to replace it again when the locks finally come. They do not respond or answer their phones or get back to me on the door locks for both doors which I am already paying for and the whole reason I took the security system.

I called Vivint to let them know I was selling our house in Md and relocating to Barksdale Air Force Base in La. My job site closed in Md and I was being relocated to La. I was told there would be no problem canceling my service, just send a copy of my lease. I sent a copy of my lease, retired military ID and Louisiana driver's license. I still continue to get a bill. Called Customer service two more times and was told, they can not honor my lease because they cannot verify my address is on a military base.
I told them they can set up an appt so they can come to the base, to verify that I live here and they said they cannot install alarms on base so they cannot set up an appointment, but they will not cancel my contract. Now 1 yr and 1/2 later this is now showing as a collection on my credit report. I think what I was told originally, that my contract was eligible for cancellation, should be honored. Can someone help me with this cancellation?

We have liked our Vivint security system thus far, however, the installation process was somewhat miserable. The tech who installed our equipment had horrible body odor that was quite unbearable. So much so, that I had to leave the house with my child because the smell was so awful. The tech also was at my house much too long because he spent at least 45 minutes on the phone with Vivint, trying to get the proper information for the preinstallation survey that I needed to take, which resulted in me giving my social security number and credit card number over the phone to 4 different people (because almost every vivint rep he called, hung up on him!) Our tech was nice and got the job done, but please have the common courtesy to shower or wear deodorant before spending hours in someone else’s house.

I have been satisfied with Vivint. Its features are neat and the customer service is good. Sometimes, when my daughters will walk out of the door, they forget to shut the power down. And sometimes it takes a while for me to move around the house because of disability. And then they get ringed too many times and then it goes on for too long. Then Vivint's reps will call and check. Meanwhile, for some reason, when the doorbell rings the first time, it's good. There's a huge ring, like Lurch in the Addams Family ring. But in the second ring, it would just go down very low. Other than that, everything is virtually fine.
Gerald, thank you for the positive feedback and thank you for choosing Vivint Smart Home!

We had been with ADT for a long time but I like the idea of owning my equipment and being able to take it with me so I tried Vivint. The installation team were very friendly and professional. They explained everything. We have a panic code which I think has been great but the door camera has been the biggest change feature-wise. And when we've had a couple issues, most of it equipment related, they took care of right away. The service has been great. They've been really attentive and proactive when the alarm goes off. I wouldn't go back and change now that we have had the experience with them.

We could have gone with 3 other providers for our security system, but since we liked Vivint's technology and their salesman, we got them to install the security system at our place in Las Vegas. The salesman had been with the company for a long time and unlike other salesmen that just got in there making a sale and leave, he provided personal contact information and if we had any issues that we could always get in touch with him. So we've had that personal relationship ever since. We've been pleased with him and his support.
We went with the higher end package and got $3,000 in equipment. The installer was extremely professional, knew his stuff and did a good job. We liked the integration of everything from the front door entry, the key-less entry on the front door, and turning the system on and off. On the other hand, we were not able to do the same with the garage door because there was no way to do it with our particular garage door opener. We also ended up with some issues early on which was a little bit of the downside.
We had a glass break protector that was too sensitive and kept giving us false glass break readings at first. The first couple of times it went off, we were way in the summertime, so the house was empty for months on. They would call us and we'd tell them that we're not there, so they would send the armed security and they wanted to bill us $55 each call for the armed security that went out. I had told them that we were not there, it was their equipment that malfunctions and we are trusting their equipment to do the job. They had to come back, reset the glass break protector and adjust the sensitivity. Since we made the adjustment, we have not had a false alarm happen, so that part seems to be working quite well. Also, they did not send us with the bill through our account, so that may indicate it's been taken care off.
In addition, we've had two faults in the security system. We can fix one fault, but the other one, we can't. When we want to arm or disarm the system from our phone, the app does not support the use of the pin and we are not able to use the pin like we could with protection. So, if I lose my phone and I don't have it coded and locked, which I don't because of the times I used it, then somebody potentially could arm or disarm the system. That is one drawback that needs to be fixed, but the back doorbell detected the visitors, so it's working. Other than that, we've been pleased with the Vivint equipment and they were always there to take care of us.
Curtis, thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you're enjoying your experience with us. Thank you for choosing Vivint to protect your home and family!

A Vivint salesman showed us what we would be getting from them and then we decided to go with Vivint. The service package that we have from them includes security system for several windows, front and back door, a glass break detector and motion detectors inside. I'm totally satisfied with their service so far. The installation team was helpful when they showed us how the system worked, how to operate it and change batteries and the keypad. We had an older keypad before and when we got the new one, they came out and showed us how to operate it with all new features.
I have a detector for the back door and every now and then it would not operate properly. I had to request for that a couple of times and the reps tried to troubleshoot it and see if they could correct the problem from their end. However, it would be corrected for a little while and then would go off again. They need to go ahead and replace that detector. Also Vivint's price has been going up but I talked to somebody in the management and they said that the price that we pay would stay the same since we've been with them for so long. I have recommended them to other people saying that Vivint has good service and has knowledgeable people working with the company. Also, people could go over with whatever they require and whatever will satisfy them as to their security.

Our contact from Vivint, James was amazing! He was incredibly helpful, beyond accommodating, knowledgeable, personable and an all-around great sales person! I had previously been interested in the type of security system that Vivint is offering, however, I had not taken the time to price shop, etc. It was pretty convenient that James would stop by on my day off and tell us more about the system and teach us about the features. And to think that Ben and his partner installed the entire system on the same night!? Unheard of salesmanship and customer service!

System install/purchase was not smooth. Salesperson told me no cost of equipment, but a shared install fee in return for me being a good representative of Vivint. As the sale progress, I discovered I would have to pay, so the good Vivint Rep part too was nulled by me. After two weeks to install the entire system (I had to move outlets), the system is still not fully working. First, the Smartmonkey/Smart Drive is not accessible to me at all. Was told photos and files could be used on that 3 TB drive that costs me so much. Next, Camera playbacks are slipshod in that a counterclockwise spiraling arrow circulates in the middle of the screen on and on, sometimes stopping when I can view, and then starting again to swirl and swirl. If viewing what cameras record is so impeded, the system is useless. The 30 day trial period is moving along and at this point, I am inclined to cancel and have all equipment removed as fast as possible.

I done explaining, been doing this daily now since Saturday last week, doorbell camera is offline. The reason I have a camera is for an unruly neighbor. Twice now cops called and no proof. Still waiting for Vivint to call and schedule an appointment.
Updated on 07/07/2018: I really don't know where to start! Guy knocked on my door and sold me a couple door sensors and a doorbell camera. I thought this will save me some time with looking around for a security company and the price was very reasonable. I have a neighbor that I would love to catch on camera, 'cause every time the cops are called they want proof. The cops were here twice on the 4th of July and guess what. Camera not working. It quit working the morning when I was getting ready to fly out of town. That was June 23.
I called for help and I only got put on hold over and over while being transferred from one person to another... Daily I have been calling, texting, messaging, etc. Wonderful vacation on the phone getting transferred and put on hold constantly and daily. All I want is someone to come to the house and reboot my equipment... I can open doors remotely if that is a concern, but my daughter and her husband were home while I was gone.
This experience and lack of customer service and support has by far been the worst experience I have ever had with any company. I got back from vacation on Sat. (Tomorrow will be a week since I have been home.) I tried tech support. They had me pushing buttons and getting more aggravated. Hour and a half later I gave up. Customer service told me they would schedule a time to come over. After a couple of days of hearing nothing from anyone, Monday or Tuesday probably I reached out yet again because no one called to set up the appointment. Thursday I was done and ready to opt out of the "peace of mind" they don't provide. They offered me $10 off every month for the camera and 2 service payments of $39.99. An appointment was set for Thursday night to fix the camera. No show no call again.
So here it is day 13 and I have been on and off the phone, texting, calling and still waiting for something. Only to be told by everyone that there is a rush on my problem...such a rush they schedule me for July 30th between 8-4. I work and thats 3 weeks away. Today I consulted a lawyer. I do have a case for small claims, and since everyone in my family works in law I feel pretty confident. I'm not going to let this company keep doing this to people...after reading the Consumer Affairs posts about Vivint, I'm sorry I ever done business with them. Sounds like this is happening to a lot of people so, If you're looking for a Security company to give you peace of mind, Vivint is not it. I will be uninstalling the equipment and since I have a business license I will also submit a bill for the work. I strongly suggest other people out there with the same problem to reach out to a lawyer, and stop future payments.

I am very disappointed with this security system. It’s almost always offline and has a crappy camera. Even more disappointed with the service! I wasn’t even interested in a security system when they just showed up at my door, cowering the new neighbourhood. (May/June 2016) I was told that I could get out of this at any point in time! The salesman was Kaleb and his helper was Collin. Invited themselves in and couldn’t say enough about this system. I felt so pressured, everything just happened so fast. I was very hesitant when they started drilling holes in my walls and setting everything up! Left a mess as well.
Kaleb kept saying "just sign here, everything I’m saying to you, is what this contract says... you can get out at anytime, no problem.” I should have read closer but felt so rushed!! Every time I call and would like to speak with a manager... I never get through. I’ve phoned numerous times, very frustrated and angry. I was told that there would be cameras all over my house (front door, side door and back door). I only have one camera at the front door. DON’T EVER GET VIVINT! Biggest mistake of my life and a huge waste of money. I tell everyone how dissatisfied I am.

Whenever I call corporate to get things fixed, they were really professional and do whatever it takes to get the system running like reboot the panel, router or the system, disconnect or reinstall the camera or, cycle the power on the sky control or pull the battery. And when they get it running, they’re always like, “Well, you have a great day.” And then a week later, the same screwed up again. So, the corporate was not a match for that. They didn’t understand reliability and I’ve been telling them that if we get it running, it doesn’t mean it’s fixed.
I almost cancelled with them. The technician said the problem was that corporate kept pushing through updates and I kept telling them not to do that. And then, Natalie, a technician, came and I could tell that she wanted to get the system working. She contacted the team lead and then the manager came over. Once I met those three individuals, I knew that they were doing everything they could to get things working. But the manager took his hat off and said, “I’m pulling my hair out of this system. I’ve never seen anything like this. I don’t know what’s wrong.”
But the biggest problem is that their system's expensive and my wife has been like, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” from the very beginning. I’m waiting for a new panel to come and I’m hoping it would be installed this week and that it would solve our problems because if it doesn’t, then they’re gonna do my house non-serviceable, which means there’s nothing I could do to get the system running in this house. But right now, I'm dissatisfied with Vivint and I lost all credibility with my wife.

The security package I got from Vivint has pretty much all of the features they offered right from the beginning. Their sales rep set everything up and it was easy to understand everything that was needed to learn from him. Their installation team was great too. And when I had issues with the panel, their customer service team was able to correct everything for me. The only issue that I have with the system is that it always shows that one of my windows is open but it's closed and locked so I'm wondering why that would be happening. But everything else is great. Vivint is very easy to navigate and their service is good so far.

Their salesman lied to me and said that I would have 3 cameras. After he left they never showed up again until after 9:00 at night. The installation left my door bell with a broken cover and wires just hanging there. I was a little disappointed. The 3rd camera never showed up and when I called to ask about it they said that they would charge me even more than what I was originally told. Anyway, their cameras are terrible quality and don't record until after people leave. When it does manage to record something the footage is unusable and can't be seen. They're more dishonest than cell phone companies. When I see them roaming around the neighborhood I always make sure to get the word out there that they're thieves and warn my neighbors. They may have gotten away with robbing me for 5 years but they sure as heck won't be making anymore sales if I can help it.

I had a different company before and Vivint knocked on my door, and their selling point was being able to control their system from the phone. The system is good so far. I was having a lot of trouble for a long time and it kept telling me I had all these errors, but when they came in at the beginning of the year and upgraded all my equipment, it made a huge difference.

Vivint installed cameras and smoke alarms in the house. The quality of the equipment is okay but, their smart features are not as good as I thought it would be. I'm supposed to access it when I'm out of the country but I can't get in a lot of times. Nine times out of ten, it doesn't work and I can't see what's going on in the house. In fact, the other day, I didn't get pictures of somebody who came to my doorbell. Their reps came and they hardwired it and said that it wouldn’t happen anymore. But yesterday, on my phone, I only have June 5th and nothing after that. It is a lot of money to spend when a $400 system is better. I know people have cheaper systems that run fast and work beautifully. And, the other people that I’ve recommended it to have the same problem. So, I’m not happy and I wouldn’t recommend them.

We have had the system for a year and have FOUR MORE to go. How we ever agreed to a 5-yr contract I'll never know. The sales person kept saying we weren't being charged for this, they were giving us that, but we sure are paying! That was bad enough, but now the system keeps losing connection with the network, cameras go offline, then back and the doorbell camera almost never works! The wait for support on the phone and by chat are exceedingly long. They get the problem fixed only to have it return a few days or a couple of months later. VERY TIRED of calling all the time.

Called again 6/26, was told it was I would see it in 5 days. Emailed 6/29 to check, no answer. Called 7/2, was told it was "pending" and he could not do anything else to help me. Not sure how it got cancelled on the Credit card end but Vivint did not cancel on their end. All I have to say it is bad business and I am SO thankful I did not use them.

Joined company about June 5th. It’s about July 2nd and my service is still not properly installed. I was told my alarm was installed (taken over on June or around June 12th. Here’s my story, short version. Tech came out w/ helper. 1st visit. Removes old alarm, both panels. Leaves my home with no system from Thursday night through Monday. He was to return with all the missing equipment.
I want to list but I’m not sure what is put online and this is my home security alarm system so I need to refrain from itemized list. Before he left my driveway I called out to him because my keys didn’t work in the newly installed deadbolt. I didn’t mind it not matching the bottom lock for a few days but the keys should work. They ended up having to change the entire lock again.
2nd trip out, he fixed whatever he broke in my closet... I guess. I saw absolutely nothing installed however. He didn’t put a new panel in because it’s the exact same panel on my wall and same deadbolt. He never did a takeover because the technician that came out to troubleshoot my camera not recording found out it wasn’t done. My disability makes writing this complaint difficult, I have a mental disability, so I’m doing the best I can with the order of events. My son was home so he’s helping (college)
My entire house isn’t being properly monitored!!! On June 5, 2018 I paid for my home to have a take over completed and it still has yet to be completed and here it is July 2, 2018! I was lied to by technician Trey of Vivint, he told me my home was secured, the take over was COMPLETE! I explained to him that I am disabled, that I need him to talk slowly and explain things to me slowly. He came to my home and he lied to me! I clearly ask him if my home was covered! I asked about my motion detectors, glass breakers, etc. etc!
Trey told me to my face several different times they were in the system and being monitored! I am old fashioned, I don’t believe in WiFi, I believe dual coverage, but not solely in WiFi. I was lied to. Who lies about covering a person's home? I’ve spoken to loyalty department and a young lady was helping me. Ms. Delaly something. But then she stopped. Now she’s no longer helping. She put a credit on my acct for $100. But that was before I found out about my house wasn’t covered. That was when I was only fighting for my 2nd panel.
I now have bad dreams about this company. It’s a nightmare. I’m still fighting for my 2nd panel. They have me scheduled for two weeks out. It's ridiculous. I have a new technician that came out. I don’t trust anyone however. This company customer service waiting time is terrible. 15-25! I had one person that was slightly rude but otherwise everyone was upbeat.

My neighbor recommended Vivint and I chose to go with that company because of a discount. I added cameras and a doorbell as it would be a little safer for me since I'm here by myself. The doorbell was installed, but it didn’t work for a month. They didn’t charge me during that time, but it was slow going. When the second doorbell came, I was charged for the service call, which I didn’t know about. Also, I had to plan to be here whenever they can be here and I didn’t appreciate that. Nevertheless, the system is working now and the second technician who came out was very polite and professional and he did what he could to see if I could get a discount.

Vivint came to our neighborhood and introduced themselves. Vivint is mentioned quite a bit on the computer, so it was cool, and their rep was a really nice gentleman who explained everything very thoroughly. I've had Vivint for about 6 weeks now and I haven’t had any bad experiences so far other than the fact that I forget to take the alarm off when I try to open the door and then it yells at me. Before, there was no way I could raise or lower the volume and when I’d open the door, “Backdoor! Backdoor!” echoes through the whole house. Now I can lower the volume and that way it’s very quiet. So, everything is fine. Talking about Vivint would be a lengthy conversation but it is a good experience.

When there was a celebration here in town, Vivint had a booth set up. Since I was dissatisfied with the security service I had then with a different company, I ended up going with Vivint. They customized my service package very much and I got all the features except the doorbell. The customer service is good. The reps have tried to keep me updated every so often, which I appreciate, and they've treated me very well. The installation team has done very well too. I have a flat roof for my home and I have no attic for them to run in the wires. They had to do everything wireless and they did very well with it, so I'm pleased. I just have to put a battery in once in a while and when I get a low battery, they call me and I appreciate that too. When I call Vivint, I don’t expect them to come right then, but they do very well and they come here within 24 hours.
I have a fair-sized home and it's well taken care of now. I've got three cameras and two control panels, plus the other features. One thing that I really like about the system is that when I'm away from home, I am able to control it off of the app on my phone. I've recommended Vivint to several people. My cousin lives out in the country and when I asked Vivint if they could do their service there, they said they surely could. They did so and my cousin was very pleased.

I've had Vivint for over a year now and it's been pretty good. I like having the doorbell camera, backyard camera, and living room camera.

It will detect a car driving past your home but I work from home with office in front of house near front door and I had two different people come to my front door and doorbell camera did not detect. I am pleased, however, that I have not had to contact Vivint to send out a Tech since December (knock on wood). Before that, I was calling every other month.

I got the security system in August 2017. For the last six months the system hasn't worked and the app hasn’t worked. I’ve been calling them twice a week for the past six months. No one has been able to resolve any of my issues. I changed all the batteries. That didn’t help. Every time I call they reboot the system and it still doesn’t work. When I asked if someone can come out and fix it they said there’s a fee that I own the equipment and it’s my problem. And each time I call they say they have to go through everything they can on a call before they can have someone come out. The problem with that is they say it on every call for the last six months.
Then they were going to mail me a piece of equipment that was no good and I told him I don’t live at that address, to mail it to my mailing address and they refused. Because I don’t live there the item was stolen. I bought the system for the reason that I am never at that address and I have no security at all. I also live in Arizona where it’s 115° so when my feminist that doesn’t work everything gets food in the house. They just don’t care. And their customer service people have no idea how to work any part of the equipment.

We purchased a home and we moved in, and two days after, somebody from Vivint showed up at our door. Our neighbor had talked to us and told us not to leave stuff outside ‘cause things end up missing, so we got scared with the whole new neighborhood and went with Vivint. At first the system was great and it gave us peace of mind, but recently, we’ve been having issues. The doorbell camera has gone offline again and this is the third time. The instructions are helpful, but I shouldn’t need to be resetting it every other month or every other week. And as far as the app, we’ve had issues where by the time the app loads, the alarms are already going off.
Also, the panel where it was placed, I didn’t want it there. The person that installed it said, “This is a perfect spot for it.” But it’s also too far from my room to where I can’t hear. I had purchased cameras not through Vivint and I had somebody install them, and the installers were professional, took their time and did a good job. However, I asked them to remove the panel and they told me that I needed to submit another request for that.

Seems to have some potential. I like the no contract deal and the parts are affordable. My only issue is that 1.) They're still using 2.4ghz frequency for their wifi and 2.) it constantly drops wifi connection. Every couple of days the control panel loses wifi connection. This is the same with my brother who owns the same system. He can't access his cameras because of this. I really hope the upgrade the control panel soon.

The Vivint features are great if they work. The cameras go offline and every time a serviceman comes up, they get it working and then two days later, they go down. I guess we’re gonna have to hardwire it. But the worst part about Vivint is the 15 to 20 minutes hold period when you call in. But when you get a rep, they’re good mostly. I found one yesterday who was about as helpful as hemorrhoid. I said, “You need to either get it working properly or take it out.” And he said, “Well if you wanna go to disconnect services, I can send you over to them.” And I thought, “Wow, that’s a lot of help.”
So I asked for a manager and when I got the manager back on, I could hear him but he couldn’t hear me and eventually, he hanged up. I had to call back in and wait for another 15 to 20 minutes period. But then I got someone who did care, helped me through it and set up another technician coming out. And the tech who came out was great. Vivint needs to hire some more people to answer phones because there’s no other company in the world that expects someone to wait 15 to 20 minutes on the phone before you get to someone. That’s just lunacies.

For a long time, we've been with APX, now Vivint, and have been very satisfied with the service. We have the basic package, with sensors on all the windows, and we have the system connected to the Wi-Fi in the house. It provides alerts for storm, current weather as well as time. And then if a homeowner has a digital thermostat, it links in with that too. It has three buttons; one for panic, one for emergency and one for fire. We can disable certain ones if we want to and also enable or disable audio for going out the door. It has a remote app feature as well that we could download so we can control it from our phones. They also upgraded my panel for free not too long ago; got the main digital touch panel.
Our experience with their people has been good as well, both with sales and for technical advice. Periodically, Vivint's people come to the neighborhood saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" And then anytime we've added an alert, an alarm or we have a technical question, the reps have been real good about responding to whatever we need. Then if there is an alert for whatever reason, they're good about calling to check. And they're always good about checking the security password, which is important.

We used to have Guardian. Then, someone from Vivint came knocking on the door. Things went well with their representative, so we signed up immediately. We just got on a few more things then they left several of the other things from Guardian in place and we used them. However, we had some problems before long and it was due to the Guardian equipment. We would call in to Vivint and they said they'd be here in a couple of weeks. Then the guys would come and get it going. But the next day, we would have problems again. We'd call and it's gonna be three weeks again before they come.
So I got in touch with Vivint and tried to go with a little higher than their service person. The fella I talked with was from Fort Smith. I told him that I've been in the communications business for 38 years and it's unheard of telling a customer it's gonna be three weeks before someone comes out. I also told him that the problem was in the Guardian equipment. He apologized and sent a guy out who took care of everything. He got rid of the Guardian equipment and put all Vivint stuff in. We didn't have any problems since. They were nice about it, too, and so was I. I wasn't cursing at them. Everybody treated me well and they did everything. I had good luck with them.
But I still have problems occasionally. I had an issue with the sensor on the window a couple of times and I had to replace their batteries. I also had one carbon monoxide sensor go out and they talked me through that. It seemed to be in the unit that I've replaced batteries in, so they sent out a new unit at no cost. All in all, while Guardian was a bit cheaper, the difference in price wasn't much considering the extra step we got from what we used to have. So far, we use the Vivint equipment three times a day if we're going out and we've been pleased with it. We have it for 5 years now.

I have been a customer of Vivint since 2007 what they were APEX. I asked for an upgrade about a month ago and had to threaten bad recommendations to get one. You would think that an 11-year customer could get a simple upgrade without so much fighting. Well, I should have left it alone and went with another company. The only time they could install it was Father's Day between 10 am and noon. So much for visiting our son. It took them 5 hours to get the thing installed and working. Well...it lasted the night anyway. The next morning the problems started and haven't ended yet. We've had them out twice this week and they will be out again tomorrow.
I'm told the problem is that I have AT&T for internet service and that AT&T doesn't play well with Vivint and "closed ports" so the video stream and uploading don't work right. So their solution, a Linksys. Well... that worked for about 12 hours and hasn't since. Each tech that comes out tells us we need to get different internet service! Wait...What, that's not the problem, the problem is the Linksys isn't connecting to the panel, so look at that. But they don't... or haven't yet. We've spent 20 plus hours with techs and customer support and still it's not working right. So as an 11-year customer, DO NOT GO WITH VIVINT. I hate to say that but they are nothing but trouble...at least they are now.

ADT and one other company came by and gave me quotes. They told me not to get Vivint and when everybody started badmouthing Vivint, they must really be a competition for badmouthing them. I got into Vivint and I've had them for about three years now. The guy that did the installation was good. He had trouble getting the doorbell camera hooked up to work but a rep that works with ADT in the same area came and then they got it figured out. For the most part, the features are good but I'm having problems with the cameras on occasion, and I have to keep rebooting it. Other than that, the system has been good. I wish I’ve gotten some more cameras. But when I looked at Vivint's price, it’s a lot higher than anybody else. I'm right in 70 bucks a month for it so it's gonna be higher.

I selected the features that were beneficial to me based upon my lifestyle and my travel. I have all the sensors, doors and windows, and motion detector in the house. I have the doorbell ring camera and two other cameras on the outside perimeter of the house. Now I also have the thermostat feature with their thermostat VL.
But it took multiple calls to get the products installed and working properly. There were multiple issues with the thermostat feature having to replace the Nest Thermostat. Then I had to get another thermostat after spending my money and time to get this functioning. Some of the features are still having periodic service issues. The other day, the thermostat disconnected from the panel. We had to reboot the whole thing and get it back to working in the middle of the day when it was 95 degrees here in Texas. I had to be without AC for about 20 minutes while they rebooted the panel. I'm now stuck in a contract with them. But I wouldn't sign up for them again or recommend them to anyone else.
The representatives were professional enough but at the end of the day, I need the product to work. If I can't find a solution to fix the problem and I have to have multiple calls to get multiple repair people out, professionalism is not enough. What they lacked was the technical know-how to properly install everything and to get things working the first time.

Most of our experience with Vivint has been good, and our service package includes a door pad, lock and unlock, thermostat, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, motion detector, and a camera.

But when they had been here, they had been very polite and very thorough.
We're presently having trouble with one of the smoke detectors and we went through trying to get it to connect to the panel and it did for 24 hours and then it's offline and I haven't psyched myself up to call them again and say I'm still having trouble with it. We went through fixing it with them over the phone for 45 minutes and it included climbing up and checking it and changing the batteries and then going back up. And for five times, my husband had to climb up on the ladder to get to it and we're not doing that again. They tried to get most of the work done by phone and that is kind of hard to do at our age. We need somebody to come out and fix it.

Vivint advertises that you can get service in as little as 1 to 2 days depending on your area but what they refrain from telling you is it can take 3 months. We signed up and paid for our sign up just for them to message us to tell us it'll be 3 weeks. We wait 3 weeks and the day the technician was finally supposed to come he's a no-show. 20 minutes after he supposed to be here we get a call no voicemail nothing. So we call Vivint and ask them what the deal. They said it was a family emergency and now we have to wait an additional 8 weeks before the technician can come out and hook our service up. All in all it would have been a total of 3 months after we have paid and still had no service.
If that's the way they are was hooking your service up how do they treat customers that have technical difficulty. Do they have to wait 3 months for them to come service it? Really saddens me that I was excited about all the perks in this and that the technician say they can do what. Yeah that would be nice if they'd actually come hook up your service. By the way when you're scheduling for them to come don't expect to speak with anybody. It's all over text and it's pretty rude quite frankly.

He opened that door any constantly kept letting them out so I had to keep rounding them up to keep him from letting them outside. Damaged my screen door and didn't say anything until I pointed it out. Then his response was "I'll just file a damage report", not oh let me see, or I'm sorry. Then I later discovered he had scratched a car parked in my driveway with the equipment in his tool belt.
He asked to borrow a charger cord for his phone. I lent it to him and then witnessed him roll it up and put it in his pocket when he was done with it. I had to ask him for it back. He did not properly set up my system either. He did not program an entry/exit delay and a week later I discovered he did not enable one of my window sensors. But here's the capper, I contacted Vivint and reported the incident and filed a claim for damage to the door and vehicle. I was told that a manager was contact me within 24 hrs to speak with me about my installation woes, that was over a week ago!

On March 7, 2018, we were sold a Vivint Home Security and a U-verse package; The Vivint employee sold us a combined package for $150.00. The offer would remain in place for the next five years. We asked our Vivint/AT&T Representative (not sure which at this point) a number of times what the catch was, we were assured that there was not one, it was promotional between the companies etc… It soon became apparent that was not the case, AT&T knew nothing about it and although we had been signed up for Uverse, the bill was high and we had to negotiate ourselves a new deal which will only last one year not five, at a cost of which was promised for the combined Security/Uverse package.
We immediately called Vivint to get answers; we called March 19, 2018 5:27 PM. We were on the phone for 20 minutes, we called again on April 10th at 4:50 PM for 11 Minutes, and again on April 14th at 5:12 PM for 22 minutes. I called on April 16th 2018 at 5:59 PM. I was on the phone for an hour; I explained the situation asking that Vivint come collect their equipment, as we no longer want anything to do with it. At which point I was told, “To go up and down the street and sell it to someone else!” I spoke to four different people, lastly speaking with a “Supervisor” who said she would get a hold of our Representative, resolve the issue and send us an Email. We have yet to receive an Email, we have sent out multiple letters, still no one has contacted us with any intent to resolve the issue, only to extract payment. The equipment itself is not working correctly, the doorbell camera is out, all we want is the equipment collected and our money refunded.

They sold me equipment that did not work. Took them 3 months to come back and try to fix it. They could not get it to work so they took the equipment. 6 months later I only received half of my money back. Also the customer service that Vivint is horrible. They transfer you around until you hang up so they don’t have to deal with your problems. My car was vandalized and could not get the recording so I guess I bought the security system for nothing.

I would like to relate my Vivint experience to you. I recently moved to a new city and one of my first priorities for my new home was a state of the art security system. On 5 June 2018 I met with a Vivint salesman named Jonah at my home. He was exceptional. He did a great job explaining both the product and options. He definitely applied no pressure when I asked to think about it and he agreed to return. On Wednesday 6 June 2018, after some independent research which indicated Vivint was the only company to offer the level of technology I desired, I signed a smart home contract for equipment and monitoring and was excited to be a Vivint customer.
Later that afternoon, a young lady named Deanna came to install my equipment and my excitement grew. She was extremely professional and courteous and did an excellent installation. She took time to explain the products to include the phone app and left with me feeling very confident in my choice and with my new system. I even called several friends and family members to relate my experience and recommend your company. I was asked by E-Mail to fill out a survey on both of these employees and rated them highly!!!
On Thursday night at 12:42 am I got a notification on my smart phone that my front door had opened and closed and triggered an alarm. At 12:44 I was contacted by a Vivint employee indicating that I had an active alarm and that she had tried to make contact with me over the Vivint Sky Control Panel. I explained that I live by myself and that I was away from home in another city. The young lady indicated she would dispatch the police and I asked her to please keep me informed.
At 1:01 am I received a notification on my phone that someone had rung my Vivint doorbell. I assumed it was the police and I sat waiting for further communication. It never came. No one from Vivint ever contacted me. I sat 150 miles away and had no idea the nature of the alarm or the status of my home. At approximately 2:15, I called the Vivint Customer Service number, talked to a young man who explained I would need to talk to Monitoring and put me on hold to transfer me. After several minutes waiting, I was disconnected.
At that point, I took matters into my own hands and contacted a friend to go check on my house. Apparently the alarm was a false one and my friend indicated all was good. I also contacted the local Police and they indicated that officers had been dispatched, responded at approximately 1:00 am and found every thing apparently OK. I asked them if they had relayed that information to Vivint Security and they indicated they had had no contact with anyone at Vivint since the initial request for dispatch and that no one at Vivint had done any follow up to find out if the alarm was real or false.
At that point I was quite frustrated, but knowing my home was secure, I decided it could wait until morning. At 8:45 am I called Vivint Customer Service. After explaining my concerns, I was told I would again have to talk to Monitoring, was placed on hold, and after just a few seconds I was cut off. I waited a couple of minutes to see if anyone would call me back and then I called again. I talked to someone totally new in Customer Service, explained my problem all over again, was put on hold for Monitoring and again was disconnected.
At this point I was beyond frustrated. I again waited a few minutes to see if anyone would call back. They did not, and I know they had the number as they had both used it to verify my identity before putting me on hold. I left to go with family to our planned activities and to discuss with my children what they thought I should do next. I also received another E-Mail from Vivint asking for surveys both in response to the alarm and with my most recent customer service experience, and you can imagine my ratings were anything but positive.
About 3:25 pm on Friday 8 June, 2018 as I was driving home, I called Vivint Customer Service and explained that I had decided to exercise my 72 hour option and cancel my contract. I had decided I could not trust the security of my home or myself to a company that did not seem to be interested in my safety. I was transferred, this time successfully and had to begin the explanation process again. This young man was fairly pleasant and told me I would have to send an E-Mail to a specific address expressing my desire to cancel and to include my service number both of which he would provide me verbally. I explained that I was driving and talking hands free and asked him if he could text the service number and the E-mail address to me as I couldn’t write anything down. He said certainly and verified my phone number. I told him thank you and hung up. Of course, the text never came.
Once I got home, I again called Customer Service, again explained the entire situation and also my desire to opt out. This young man did indicate he was sorry and offered me three months free monitoring if I would like to stay a Vivint customer. With my first monitoring experience being less than stellar, I turned down his offer. I finally got him to give me both my service number and the e-mail address required to complete the cancellation process. He explained at that time that someone would contact me to schedule an appointment to remove the equipment. At 5:12 on 8 June 2018, I sent the required E-Mail to complete the cancellation process.
For thirteen days since sending the cancellation E-Mail, I have not had any contact or received any correspondence from anyone at Vivint. On Friday 22 June, 2018, I received a letter via E-mail from Todd stating that "we (Vivint) have made numerous attempts to contact you at the telephone number you provided to arrange for the removal of the alarm system. Because you have not responded to any of our attempts to contact you, we are notifying you of our intention to hold you responsible for the cost of the equipment listed on your contract, $1,974.42. This amount was also listed in the cancellation notice sent to you."
You can imagine my surprise. First, no one has tried to contact me and my phone log shows I have received no calls from any number identified as a Vivint number and T-Mobile has agreed to provide a complete record of all calls to my number since the date I requested cancellation if need be. In addition, no cancellation notice has ever been sent to me and as I stated previously, I have received no contact or communication of any kind from anyone from Vivint since I requested cancellation of my contract on 8 June 2018. I responded to Todd’s E-mail and expressed that I found the content of his letter and his tone to be unacceptable, unprofessional and untrue, but that it was unfortunately in keeping with what I have recently learned to expect from the Vivint company.
That in itself is a shame since I had such a positive initial experience with sales and installation and felt that the Vivint equipment was a perfect match to my needs. Unfortunately, In the entire time I contacted Vivint regarding my monitoring issues on 7 and 8 June, my cancellation request on June 8th, and of course the correspondence I received today, and despite multiple negative reviews, no representative from Vivint has reached out to say anything. Every bit of contact has been initiated by me except for today’s letter which was absolutely insulting. Almost everyone else I have talked to from Vivint Customer Service has been curt and disinterested and hasn’t followed through with anything they said.
Can’t begin to describe how disappointed I am at the actions and in most cases the lack thereof from a company who publicly expresses their desire for an "exceptional customer experience." This kind of treatment certainly doesn’t comply with Mr. ** advice to a young college dropout that said, “...if you’re going to run a company, you have to provide the best service you possibly can for your customers.”

Our salesman, Jonny, got in the door promising “free” products for us to be a demo/test home. All we had to do was leave a good review. He was informed MULTIPLE times that I did NOT want to replace any of the security equipment (door/window sensors, etc...) that I already had. He was informed what type of system we had and said it was 100% compatible.
Later that night when the tech arrived to install our panel, we discovered that Johnny had added on door and window sensors that were NO part of what we agreed to or what he had written down. He didn’t even get an accurate count of what would need to be “replaced”. The techs started to install the panel and drill holes, confident it would work, but without even knowing if the system was compatible. They had to ask their supervisor, but decided to drill holes anyways. In the end, it wasn’t compatible, and I canceled service right then and there.
The next day, Johnny must have gotten word because he starts to harass me via text message, and I had to call customer support to get them to get him to stop.A week later, same tech shows up to remove the panel. He left a mess on my floor and did the WORST job patching the holes because he came unprepared. His drywall sparkle had dried up. When I confronted him he said confirmed he came unprepared and said I’d have to figure the rest out.

We were told by Rob before any papers were signed that our current (chimes) doorbell would work with the doorbell camera. When the camera was installed the installer told us that the chimes would not work thus we now have a decorative wall hanging. While explaining the wall panel to us the installer could not answer questions about the iphone app stating he knew nothing about the app. We still don't know how to use the app and would like to receive training on how to properly use it.

The install and first few months were problem free. Then we began having issues with the back door camera not working or showing. We telephoned customer service and were able to get it back online but, it's always short lived, it's currently down. Next issues is the panel connection. We have to constantly reconnect at least once every other week or sooner. Last and most recent issue. While the tech was at our home a couple of weeks ago, they set the alarm off by accident. My neighbor telephoned me approximately 20 minutes after she'd left to inform me the police had come to my front door and walked around the house.
We were home and the doorbell never rang. Vivint called five minutes later and informed us the police had come out. Really? No one thought to call us before that time? She was shocked to learn it was their tech that set off the alarm. What if it'd been an emergency? We're really considering discontinuing our service with them.

After we signed a contract, we were out on our own. Customer service is non-existent! The product is inferior with a wifi security system that has wires with each device, the camera was never 'fit' to show who was at the front door, 'it needed a wedge', the kitchen panel for additional view at the front door could not be installed, just plugged in and sitting on a box. I understand the tech did not want to drill into the granite, but I am sure we are not the only customers like that, but there was no back up plan. It took almost 2 months to have the equipment removed and when I had the former security come over to reinstall their service, he could not because he could 't determine what the tech did/or what they removed by Vivint. I set up an appointment to have Vivint tech at my house the same time so one could show the other what to do - VIVINT NEVER SHOWED UP, NOR DID THEY CALL TO SAY THEY WOULD NOT BE THERE.
What a totally unprofessional company. I am sure the owner of Vivint would not accept this type of service and equipment. It is inferior. AND now it is going to cost us several hundreds of dollars to get our security company back up and running. The techs, after installation, left all the boxes and trash in my foyer and kitchen. REALLY?!! I have never experienced a company who doesn't clean up after themselves. (See pix) The only pix I did not take were of the units plugged into the walls.

My service package includes sensors in the house, a doorbell camera, the thermostat, and window break feature ‘cause I’m here alone. Also, the installer was courteous and he explained everything to us.
Thank you for the positive feedback, Marsha, and thank you for choosing Vivint Smart Home!

I like the fact that our security system could be installed the same day. Also, appreciated that there was no contract and a moderately low monthly payment. The features Vivint offers like the doorbell camera, deadbolt lock and controlling the thermostat are great!

A.J. who sold us the system was great and Kate the installer also. We did have to have them come back after initial install due to our thermostat quit working after the security panel was installed but it was replaced and all was well.

When I moved to Raleigh, I was getting my cable set up and part of the cable package was Vivint. I was trying to get to a price point so I got a keyless entry, sensors on doors and windows, and motion sensors. So far, I'm mildly satisfied. I've had to get my keypad fixed twice. I've had to have service out once and yesterday they had to reset it and they did that remotely this time. They advertised automatic door locks but when you start putting the package together, you'd quickly find out that all of that doesn't go with the package, it's extra. So, I was a bit disappointed in that.
Also, I did not have a good experience with the sales rep. He got my name, my address and the features wrong. So, when the people were calling me for service that we had set up, they couldn't find me. The lady that did the installation was really nice but she had been working since 8 o'clock in the morning and it was 9 o’clock at night. I asked her all kind of questions, some of the things she knew and some of the things she didn't. The second installer who came out was very knowledgeable and he was able to smooth things over. I was more pleased at that point.
Thanks for sharing Bruce! We love to hear how Vivint has helped to improve your life.

My mailbox is situated next to our front door where the doorbell camera is installed, Some days, the letter carrier is captured, most days that person is not captured, I am not able to see my daughter coming from school every day unless she rings the bell, the camera is supposed to capture as soon as it detects a moving object or visitor within the customized radius and believe me, we set up the radius to the maximum width and nothing, we use our mail carrier proximity to our door every day as a way to tell how well the doorbell camera works. The iOS app doesn't alert you when the camera is disconnected, keeping the Vivint doorbell camera connected and working has been a nightmare, I would call Vivint technical support and they would have me reset the doorbell camera over and over, it works fine for a few days and the issue returns.
The main reason why we installed a security system with a doorbell camera is because we believed it was reliable and will make our home secure not matter where we are, they also offered to replace or repair any malfunctioning device but they did not say it was for an additional cost. The camera is supposed to capture images of people coming on to the property, but our camera does not consistently capture anyone that comes near my front door, one night we left something in our mailbox to be picked up by a family member, we waited for the doorbell camera to alert us and record that it was in fact picked up and by who was picked up, well we only found out who picked up the package because we called not because out camera alerted us there was someone picking up a package from my front door!
At this point we do not feel secure with the Vivint security system, we do not think it is reliable and we want to get out of the contract. I am thinking on hiring a lawyer and maybe filling for a Class Action Law Suit will bring Vivint to be accountable for false and misleading advertising and scamming its customers, also for not complying or failing to explain all the inclusions and exclusions in their contract. I opened my door for them, I trusted them, I installed their solar panels and their security system. We feel used and taken advantage of. I have never suit anyone and I am not looking to get easy money, after all the similar reviews I think something should be done.
That would definitely be frustrating, Rossy! Please email us at customersupport@vivint.com at your earliest convenience so we can better assist you. Thanks!

I have a home and office system with Vivint and it's been a nightmare from the beginning. The home system install was unreal. It took over 6 months to get resolved. The home equipment has never worked properly, our office system has been replaced twice with the continued same issues. They want to charge each time I have them out to repair the very same problem we have experienced out the gate. I would love to cancel but in a contract. I would NEVER recommend dealing with this company.

I needed a security system and a friend of mine said she was using Vivint and she liked it. But I’m totally dissatisfied with all of my experiences with Vivint. My control panel stopped working for multiple months. Nobody contacted me to let me know that the panel wasn’t working. My panel doesn’t communicate to the keypad. And I can no longer use the keypad on the front door. I have to use the key. I’ve had two technicians come out but they haven’t been able to fix the problem. I had to have my camera replaced because it was broken. They sent me a new one. But they didn’t give us credit for the old one. So it’s just been painful.
I was told that I was gonna have a supervisor call. The supervisor never tried to call me. I don’t even use the service because it doesn’t work. The only thing that works on there is the camera that I can look and see what’s going on. But even the notifications on the phone with camera don’t work. I can lock and unlock the front keypad with my cellphone. But when you go to the keypad to type in the pass code, it doesn’t work. I would never recommend Vivint. My contract stops in September and that’s when I have the option to cancel without penalty. And I just may go ahead and do that.

I had window breaks, door bell, a driveway camera and two indoor cameras from Vivint. We were using it as monitoring on our young children in the event the baby decided to leave the bed at night. So far, I have already canceled it, it was horrible. When I first got the system it worked well for about eight or nine months. They got a software update through their panels and since then, about November of last year, I started to have major problems with the panels never staying online. A doorbell stopped working and when they sent somebody out, they replaced the doorbell. However, we had packages stolen from our door and the doorbell wasn't recording clips. They sent another tech out to replace the panel, about a week later it started to go offline again continually and the same problems kept repeating.
They spent about three months sending out techs over and over trying to fix it and it never got fixed. Eventually they said, "Your house is unserviceable, so we're gonna allow you out of your contract and not have to charge you and we'll come pick up our equipment." The technician who was last trying to help me called me since and asked me if I'd be willing to try out their newest panel for free. It transmits and receives differently. I'd be willing to try out the panel but I'm not paying for service. The technician was very helpful and very nice. He is a local guy that's been trained from the mothership. Nevertheless, in terms of my experience with anybody at the mothership, they were always polite with me and they say exactly what I needed to hear to get me off the phone but ultimately the issue was never resolved.
It's interesting though because when you go online, it says Vivint gets 97% customer satisfaction. But it's because they send a survey out minutes after you get off a phone call with them when you feel perfect and that everything's fine, everything's working. You're happy and they're gonna resolve the issue. But they didn't ever follow up a week or a month later to find out how things are going. They literally give you the second you're at your happiest and then everything falls apart again. And every time I had a really bad phone call with somebody, the calls would just drop. I'd have to call back in and go through the entire customer service process again explaining to a new customer service rep. And then they wouldn't send me the survey, which was odd. They selectively send the survey when they knew you were happy but they don't when they knew you weren't.
When they finally decided to cancel the service, I asked for a refund from January through March when we were still having all these troubles. I didn't have a security system then so why should I pay for it. They agreed but it took 67 days to get the refund that I was promised in 15. I had to call back in four separate times to get my refund and everybody was very nice saying, "Oh, no problem. I'll put it through." And it didn't happen. So finally, I ended up having to escalate to somebody who deals specifically with the refund and I was able to get my refund under 24 hours. Working with Vivint wasn't my best experience. Their technology is good but their support is horrible. I constantly told the customer service reps over and over again that I have no problem paying for their service as long as it works. So, if someone would ask me about Vivint, I'd tell them to find somebody else.

We have had Vivint home security for 2 years, we had another provider for two previous years. When we were sold the equipment and service, we were told it was two years, the digital contract we just found out had 42 months. This is not our first issue with this company. Another senior family member was sold this service and equipment from a door to door salesman, and when called to cancel the next day, they would not cooperate, but they did eventually relent after persistent efforts. We have experienced the same dishonest service and do not recommend them to anyone. I encourage anyone considering Vivint for home security to run away as fast as you can.

We are happy with our experience with Vivint. Prior to getting a security system from them, we already have one. Vivint's salesperson showed us a lot of the items that we didn't have such as the cameras and the doorbell where there's a camera on it. He knew what he was talking about and put us at ease about how to use the system and how easy it is to use. That sold me and my wife into signing up with them. The installer came and his work was very professional. It was less than two hours which was pretty quick. He also didn't make very much of a mess and any kind of mess that he made, he cleaned it up right away.
However, there are issues about the camera on my phone. I load up my other family members, my wife and my children, but sometimes the camera, which is mostly the doorbell camera, says it's offline or has no pictures and they have to wait a few hours to a day before it actually comes back on again. One of those times that the camera was not working was a while ago when a vandalism was done to my vehicle. If it was working I might have been able to give the police something to go on. Vivint's reps have tried to explain to me over the phone what to do and they even sent a little tiny screw and a screwdriver for me to try and fix it but that didn’t work. I've only had the system for about a year and I've had two cameras replaced because Vivint couldn’t fix them. There was also one time that the alarm itself was not working. But every time I phoned in, I got ahold of somebody who would walk me through it and most of the time it was very good.
