    I was hesitant when the sales rep, AJ, came by, but he explained everything that Vivint had to offer and I was speechless. I had to have the system in my home. The technology is mind blowing! After I met with AJ, an installer showed up about 30 minutes later and had the job completed a little over 2 hours. I love the system!! And I thank you!! And a special thanks to AJ for stopping by!

    The installer was very polite and knowledgeable about the product. I have had an ongoing problems with the cameras going offline and having to reboot the panel or totaling rebooting the router several times since we have had this system. We had this system installed so we could have 24 hr monitoring but it does absolutely no good when the cameras go offline and you are not home to reset the WiFi. This defeats the purpose of installing cameras. We have only had our system for two weeks and I have had to do this multiple times.

    I have had service for about 3 weeks. I think it might be okay but have questions and can't get the salesperson to return my calls. I suggest if you plan on buying you get TOTAL clarification on how system works before you sign on dotted line because it seems that after you have committed, they are no longer interested in keeping you happy. Online chat service informed me they could not guarantee salesman would return my calls and referred me to online videos. This may be okay for some but senior citizens and maybe others may need more than a video. I'm definitely not happy with how they handle customer service.

    My friend, Bryan, works as a sales guy for Vivint and I'm confident in him. I know people who have other companies, but I went straight with Vivint. We're now a warehouse so we have done motion sensors on our doors and then we have cameras with our docks and our backdoors. The first guy who came to install was really nice but he didn't know much about what he was doing. So we ended up having somebody else come out. His name is Daryl and he is amazing. We like him a lot. He did our second install and then we just moved to different location so I requested to have him and he did that install as well. He's very professional and he absolutely knows everything that he's doing. The security system has only been set-up for 2 hours. We are completely confident with it and we like it a lot. We have to have it for one of our customers. Other than that, we wouldn't feel that we need to have one. But it's nice to know that we do.

    Vivint's customer service is amazing. If anything happens, they send somebody out and I don't ever get charged for them. When our cameras stopped working before, Daryl came and he reinstalled new cameras because the first guy didn't install the correct one or strong enough ones for our warehouse. By this time, I have already sent people over to Vivint to start using them.

    I had an old first generation ADT system and ring doorbell was all I had. A Vivint sales rep came to my house, described the whole system and it was exactly what I was looking for. I was also very pleased with the offer and the setup and he said that I have to agree to their card plan to get the price. It was 8:00 at night then. After I agreed and signed everything, he said they were gonna come over that night and install the system because they had a crew right there. That was not what I bargained for but I went ahead and relented it.

    It caused a problem with my wife because they were here almost 11:00. In order to put the camera up, they got to run a wire up my kitchen wall and drill a hole into the wall. I told them I knew where I wanted the camera and there is a security light up there. I told them to leave and I would get an electrician to install a box way up high in my house and they could come back and plug the camera into it. The sales rep didn't say he would give me space if I allow them to install the system that night. I felt that I was tricked by him and it was not the best experience.

    The whole system was installed - the doorbell camera, the panel, the thermostat, the motion detector, the door things. So, I called Vivint and told them that they owe me a camera and I got my electrician to put the box in. I had the electrician talk to the business people, so that they could tell him exactly what he needed to install. They came over to put the camera in and tried to fix some of the other bugs that were there. The electric box wouldn't fit the plug for the camera which cost me some extra money. The electrician didn't mind the first time because I wanted it done that way, but that cost me money for the second time when I had the electrician come back. Then Vivint came back and installed the camera, but the system was still very erratic.

    I've called customer support about six times and the real problem was finally diagnosed by one of their reps on the phone. The internet signal inside my house was not strong enough to carry the whole system and that was because the router is in our cottage that is old and got thick walls. They installed the Linksys router and extender, so now I have two black boxes on the kitchen counter and even that wasn't strong enough. So, I bought an Orbi Mesh internet extender to extend the wireless signal to my house.

    I'm really not upset about the fact that I had to do it, but they had people at my house four times and nobody said that the problem was the internet strength. The problem should have been identified on the first call and they had instruments that check the signal strength where they could tell that it wasn't gonna work. Even their competitor systems wouldn't work in my house on the internet. The Vivint systems worked perfectly, the cameras are working perfectly and I'm totally satisfied with the system, but not with the customer service and the technical support.

    We had Vivint installed in our new construction home for peace of mind. We have 3 cameras, doorbell camera, smart lock front door, garage door opener, glass break sensor, motion detector and security sensors on all of our exterior doors and bedroom windows. Being able to completely control our home from our phones makes the convenience factor of this system like second nature. Never have to worry about forgetting to set the alarm, lock a door, or if we forgot to close the garage door. I have such peace of mind knowing there is monitoring.

    The system is so seamlessly designed, anyone can learn how to operate it. The cameras having night vision makes me even more confident of my surroundings. The system is absolutely perfect for our needs. One of my favorite features is that the control panel chimes and says what door is opened. That helps keep track of small children in a large home. No worries about wandering. Being able to speak through the doorbell camera to visitors is also a wonderful feature. I recommend this system to all family and friends.

    The sales rep we worked with at Vivint was very professional, friendly and appropriate. He was not a pushy salesperson. I don't put up with a lot of the pushy salespeople that go door-to-door. First of all, it's not allowed in our neighborhood but he got through the screening. He handled himself well. The install guy was also very much accommodating to my husband and I, as the consumers. He didn't railroad his ideas as to how it should be set up. He had a lot of questions about where we wanted things placed and what we would like to do. He told us, “I can do it this way or I can do it that way." He was certainly respectful to what we would prefer.

    I got a security camera and I have all the windows armed. I can also do the functions on my iPhone. I got that gold standard of having the immediate access of somebody watching our home. We had initial glitches getting the system set up but that was just because of the distance between the home panel and a couple of the other access doors. W had to put in a couple of boosters and it was really no big deal. They were very much accommodating.

    When an alarm goes off or when somebody makes a mistake, the Vivint people are so quick to call. I'd apologize and say it was a false alarm, and what I like about Vivint is we don't get yelled at when we've made a mistake. Some companies do that but Vivint's Customer service has been outstanding. When I have had questions about how to change the battery or what something means, I've had zero complaints. I had plenty of complaints with ADT but I'm not seeing any of those with Vivint and we've been customers for two full years now. Overall, it's been a real positive experience. I have even gotten two more of my neighbors signed up because we have been so pleased.

    My house was broken into a couple of years back. My daughter set Vivint up and it has been my nightmare ever since. It sucks. It is never really online and always rebooting. Right now, it’s always something with this company as far as the technology goes. The people that answer the phone really try to be helpful, as well as the people that come in and do the work. Unfortunately, the technology that they offer really doesn’t go hand in hand with the service that I expected. I have a door camera and it is my nightmare. They've replaced the cameras and have given me booster boxes but it’s just not good. Perhaps it needs to be a better product, or maybe it shouldn’t be advertised as a door camera but as a stationary camera at your entrance, so it’s on the inside and not in the outside. Because weather might affect it. Techs have given me so many reasons why this hasn’t worked and it could be any number of reasons.

    We were broken into and wanted to get a home security system. We were inside Best Buy and Vivint had a representative there who was very pleasant. One gentleman came for the installation and he was excellent. We really felt like we understood everything when he left. Everyone we dealt with at Vivint handled everything professionally. They were very courteous and they answered all the questions we had. We got a special lock on both the front and back door and we are notified anytime there's somebody at the door, whether they ring the doorbell or not. If they ring the doorbell, we have a camera that records everything at the front and the back. If we don't respond, an alarm automatically goes to the police department or fire department, depending on what's needed.

    We're happy with the system. One day, right after we got the system, my husband went out and he forgot to turn the system off before he opened the back door and the alarm went off and Vivint called. Not too long after that, I did the same thing and Vivint called and wanted to be sure that they were talking to the owner and we had to give the password. They called to make sure everything was okay. Otherwise, they were ready to notify whoever needed to come. We got a direct response which really made feel us very safe with the system. It is working perfectly and it gives us so much more security in our house. If people do get in the house, we'll get them on tape. We get pictures and somebody will be notified right away.

    I’m now pleased with our system but it took a few calls to get everything right. The salesperson was very good at explaining how the Vivint system would work and the person that installed everything was very nice but he left with a couple of issues not resolved. He said he would try resolving the problem online later. After a few days I talked with someone via way of online chat and didn’t get anywhere with them to resolve the problem... It wasn’t until I called and talked to someone threatening to just come and take the whole system out that we finally got the problem fixed. I think there should be some kind of follow up after the system is installed to make sure everything is working properly and the customer is satisfied with everything... I’m happy with everything now. Was just disappointed with having to waste my time getting to the bottom of this problem that should have been resolved before the tech left or at least by the next day.

    Somebody from Vivint came to our door and it was horrible. It felt like we were being pressured and the rep lied to us when we ultimately signed the contract. He left parts of it blank and then came back the next day and tried to get us to sign it after he filled in inaccurate information. And then, he wouldn’t leave. We refused to sign the new contract which was not what he promised initially and he told us he would lose his $500 commission but we really didn’t care. He appeared to be a nice guy and we are now much more skeptical. But we had signed the contract and we were stuck.

    Then, we moved to a different house and ended up with a different person from Vivint who was actually farther up on the food chain. We ended up with him installing it in our new house and he was excellent. We kinda changed our tune about Vivint because of him. Also, they’re responsive. Recently, I thought I turned off the alarm and then opened the sliding door and they responded immediately. I didn’t really wanna test it but it’s nice, every once in a while, to have a false alarm.

    I answered my door to a solicitor yesterday and told him that we do not accept solicitors. I was very firm and annoyed, but he kept talking. I decided to invite him in because I did not want to stand at my door for an hour. He was very pleasant and friendly... and manipulative. He made it seem like if I gave a bit of info I could try out a security system for free if I was "picked". He said that my neighbor a few houses down had been picked and had decided to stay with Vivint because she loved it so much. However, when I spoke to her about it, she said that she had purchased it from Best Buy and that the same gentleman had come by her home and bothered her about if she knew anyone who could benefit from the system. She may have sent him my way, knowing that my husband was deployed and I have two toddlers.

    We also have a lot of crime in the area, so I was all about trying out the system for the 3 day trial. He spoke to me for about an hour to an hour and a half. I had crying children who were hungry and I needed to shower. He had come to my home at around 5pm. Near the end of his manipulative sales pitch, he explained that I had to choose who a loan was taken out with to cover the cost of the equipment. A "soft" credit score was taken and I signed some documents.

    At this point I was so tired and ready for him to leave that I probably would have signed anything. I was exhausted and going on very little sleep. I ended up signing a ridiculously long contract. I was told, however, that if we PCS'd that our contract could be cancelled. So I had it in my head that we would just easily cancel once we move to another duty station. He didn't inform me that we had to actually move onto a military base in order to cancel the contract. I feel like I have been lied to and it makes me feel like a fool that I went along with this whole thing.

    I also thought installation would happen at least a week or two later (since I was getting "picked" for a free trial). It turns out that the tech was on his way over at 8:15. The salesmen didn't leave my home until 7:30 (remember that he arrived at 5:00ish). The tech was at my house until 11:30, drilling holes and talking loudly (I was told he would "be quiet as to not disturb my sleeping toddlers"). The noise woke up my 3 year old at around 10:00pm. My 4 year old was very excited about what was going on and was just acting out of character. I'm sure it was odd to have a stranger in our home for so many hours. The tech did not leave until 11:30, and still had not completed the install. He scheduled to come back the day after my 3 day period was up. So I said, "Does that mean that the trial starts that day?" He said yes. When I tried to reach him today about the issue, I got no response.

    I also asked the sales guy what exactly I need to do in order to cancel and he was not forthcoming about that. He said I send in the cancellation form. I wasn't given any more info than that. I mailed the form today and I also sent a screenshot via email. The website doesn't state if they accept screenshots, so that's why I also mailed the little form.

    Imagine an exhausted, sleep deprived military mom with toddlers dealing with a process that lasted six and a half hours. It also upset my husband which makes me angry. He is overseas defending our country and not only is Father's Day coming up, but his birthday. I feel bad that I got us into this mess. The reason for the two stars is that the actual Vivint security system is pretty neat. You can lock and unlock your door from your cellphone and you are supposed to be able to speak to whoever is at the door through the control panel (mine isn't working though, as I mentioned). The front door camera records everything going on outdoors, and the motion sensors let me know if one of the children is getting up in the middle of the night (updates are sent through the app).

    All in all, our experience with Vivint has been good. However, we've had a hella bit of time adjusting to when we would set it and not realize that we had to unlock the backdoor before we could open it and the alarm would go off. So, that was kinda crazy. But we like the cameras. We also like getting notified when somebody comes to our door or when there's a presence available but it seemed like when we have it set like that, it's way too sensitive, like if something blowing past the doorbell or if it's raining, it will make it go off. We are constantly getting alerts on our phone and that’s not really convenient so, we've had to turn that off. So, some of the things that we really liked about we have found that we haven't really been able to utilize since it was just a little bit more than what we expected. But their customer service has always been very good and we would recommend them. We did recommend Vivint to my daughter and they ended up getting them as well.

However, I would have put the camera in a different spot if I would have known that it only recorded for 10 feet, but it's fine. During the day, it works perfect but at night, I need to hang a light so I could get my whole driveway. Other than that, everything was very smooth and I've liked Vivint so far.

    I WISHED THERE WAS AN OPTION FOR NO STARS BUT I HAD TO DO "1" JUST TO POST OUR REVIEW. My Father passed away in June, 2015 and my Mother decided to help out and stay with my Grandmother to take care of her but the house was out in the country so we wanted extra security. She was told in front of myself and other family not by one but 3 different "customer service" people that should my Grandmother pass away, or get moved to a health facility which would cause my Mother to move OR if my Dad's family sold her home which again would cause my Mother to move THAT she (my Mother) would be able to cancel the contract and would NOT have to pay cancellation charges BUT they ALL lied.

    My Grandmother had to go into a rehab for 8 months so we moved my Mother in with us. The home was empty and the security was not being used. Still they wouldn't let us cancel. Then my Grandmother passed away 8 months later, still they wouldn't let her cancel THEN the home did get sold and still they wouldn't cancel the contract. SO she continued to pay for 3 whole years for security on a house that she neither lived in AND was being lived in by complete strangers that weren't even using the system.

    We recently called VIVINT to finally cancel after 3 YEARS and was then told WE COULD NOT YET CANCEL. Said that she signed a 42 month contract which our copy shows 36 months - I called myself to just cancel and pay out the contract and was switched to 4 different people before they finally TOOK my money and SAID that the contract was now cancelled. We'll see - I don't trust them at all for what they've put my poor Mother through. They are a HORRIBLE company and you should just get a GUN and forgo the security system altogether. BETTER YET use the gun should any of these GOATS come to your door!

    We already had a home security system and then there were people coming around our neighborhood going to different people's houses. The person who came to our house was familiar with the system we currently had at that time and he demonstrated for us how it did not work. So, I wanted to switch to a different and better one. I spoke with the Vivint sales representative named Alex and he was good and followed up with us. The installation team did fine and they were really helpful and very courteous. They took their shoes off or wore the little things over their shoes in my house. They were very thorough in explaining how to use everything so that I didn't have any questions when they left.

    The service package came with a Nest Thermostat and we had a lot of problems with it. One morning in the winter, we ended up having no heat. It was down to 50 degrees in our house and we had to have someone come out immediately. My husband called the regular heating and air conditioning guy and he said that the unit we had was not working properly. He took it off and gave us a regular thermostat. That was not a very good experience I had with Vivint because they did not wanna refund me for the Nest. I wasn't even looking for any other compensation, which I feel I shouldn't have had to pay that pack for a brand-new thermostat in my house when the one that I had through them was not working. They finally refunded for the Nest, but that was not a good communication with them. I ended up having to get a manager, who was really good once I spoke to him. But the people I was initially talking to through customer service were terrible.

    When the manager came out, it was the response I was expecting. "Of course, we'll refund you. Sorry that it happened." Whereas, the other people weren't trained properly on how to deal with customers. Their customer service people need to be a bit more thoroughly trained in how to handle customers when they have a complaint like that. Nonetheless, we love Vivint and I tell everyone about it. I tell them that I really like the cameras, like doorbell camera, and I like how I can look at that from my phone or my iPad when I'm not at home and even talk through the doorbell camera. That's what I like the most about it. And I like that it's so easy to use. I can just use the app that would turn the alarm on.

I changed the home router and now I can stream the video flawlessly. Installation was efficient and professional.

    I am appalled at how this company conducts business. They pulled a trifecta of no nos. When I first called to find out what their monthly billing was and how they worked, I was pleased with the gentleman I was speaking with. He was very professional and when I had a question he couldn't answer, he would find out for me. He ran my business credit, asked me all the information they would need, and explained to me that it would be a 5 point hard hit on my credit that would then be taken back off after the service was installed. I was ok with that. He then gave me both my options which were that I could pay for the equipment outright or that I could choose the flex pay which would allow me to pay off the equipment over a period of 60 months.

    I chose the flex pay because it was a more feasible solution for my small business. I was then told that I would have to pay the installation cost and the first month's service upfront. Again, no big deal. I was out on a run and told him that I would call back to make that payment when I returned to the office and could get my business card. I called back, made the payment, and set up an appointment for the following Monday from 10 am to noon.

    Monday rolls around and Vivint never shows up. I call them and have been informed that the appointment was never scheduled. OK, I get it. Mistakes happen. I went on to explain to them that I need somebody out here promptly as I had set up my new insurance to start that Monday and I was required to have an alarm system to even have the coverage of the company I wished to use. I have to give them this, they got somebody to my store within 2 hours in attempt to right their wrong. And here is where everything goes horribly wrong. My technician was here and ready to do the install when his supervisor calls him and informs him that they have to run another credit check on me. This results in an hour long conversation including lots of holding to get this taken care of. Meanwhile, the technician is becoming frustrated with the situation and the company themselves.

    Apparently, this is a regular occurrence. I just want to put in here that the technician was fantastic and hopefully he will find a better company to work for than this unethical, unprofessional bunch. They finally cleared him to do the install at which no point was I informed that they didn't like my credit after all and that they would be charging my card almost $700 without my authorization. Had they told the technician that and he brought it to me, I would have laughed and told them to shove it. When I realized that they had charged my card $700 I lost my cool. Upon calling them, I had to jump through yet another set of hoops to even cancel my service with them. I finally ended up going to my bank and disputing charges. I am still kicking myself for not thoroughly checking them out.

    A couple of years ago, there was a couple of Vivint salesmen who were walking in the neighborhood and then they came up to our house. Since we were wanting some kind of security system, we got a package that includes the doorbell camera with the Ping camera inside and we have the window monitor as well. We pay $60.99 a month. I like it for the most part, but the app works only part of the time. At first, I thought I was imagining it, but when I set the alarm and then got up in the morning, it was turned off. I like the feature being able to get a hold of somebody when we're gone, or they can get a hold of us. But it was frustrating because were so many times that it did not work like it was supposed to. And it was not just my phone, it was my husband's phone too. We've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and it may or may not work whenever we need it to.

    For some reason, the doorbell camera kept dinging all the time and then, it wasn't recording at night. It would just hit and miss. It might record once or twice during the day, but there was an issue and we weren't the only ones having it because they uploaded a new hardware program and it's been working ever since. So far, our issue is mainly the app. Whenever I'll alarm the system, it will just sit there and spin and spin and spin. I'll just get out of it and then go back in it and then it has done what I wanted it to do. But it never used to do that. Furthermore, it's delayed. If somebody would come up to the door, it would not give me the alert until they're already gone. So if somebody was stealing a package off my porch they'd be long gone by the time it dinged on my phone.

    During installation, they were trying to find a hole for the doorbell and they missed a small hole underneath the light switch. But other than that, they knew what they were doing. They went right to it and got it done. For the most part, the system is okay and we like it to be able to communicate when we're gone, but there are some things that need to be modified or worked out. We even wanted to get out and get rid of it, but we're stuck in the contract for another year and a half unless we can find somebody to take over the payment. Other than that, the tech persons I've dealt with were good about working with me trying to get the issues resolved.

    It's good that you can see what's going on when you're away and you can communicate. If you could get your phone, you can use the Ping camera to call somebody on their cell phone. The main reason you get it is to be able to monitor what's going on at your house and so as long as that stuff is working like it's supposed to, then it's doing its job.

My safety and my family's safety comes first. I pay too much money to leave home and have to worry if my system will remain online to pick up an intruder, or a fire etc. I recommend that you keep documentation and continue to email and chat and save those records so if you have to break contract, it will be your proof that you tried to rectify the problem and have exhausted every means in doing so but it continued. Vivint would be liable for not providing the services that you/we are paying for and that they promised.

    Just FYI don’t be fooled by being threatened for breaking contracts. As customers we have rights too. We have the right to receive the services that we are paying for and if Vivint does not deliver the security and 24/7 monitoring that they promised to provide to us then we are not breaching contract they are.

    My original package had a camera for the doorbell as well as alarms for the first floor window and the door. I had a thermostat as well. I wanted those features because it had the ability for me to set my alarm from any location and I can see my home from wherever I was. I could also control my thermostat from any location. However, Vivint has failed on all levels. Also, contacting their customer service team has been a joke because they would come to my house for the same issue and spend two to three hours, getting me back online and getting the system working again. It would work for 24 to 48 hours and then I would be back offline. The camera wouldn't be working anymore.

    So, we spend time having me troubleshoot over the phone with them, and then them coming to my home for two to three hours of more troubleshooting for it to go back offline 24 to 48 hours later. Finally, I had to have them come back out and just remove the camera and the doorbell because it was not working. Now, what's happening with my alarm is that when I set my alarm at night, in the morning, it's disengaged when I did not turn it off. It's jumping and disarming itself. I'd never recommend Vivint to anyone. I wish they would stop billing me and pick up their crap and leave me alone.

    Using Vivint's system has been great and we've been liking it. Whenever we have any issues, they respond quickly. They usually call me and if I don't pick up, they call my wife. If my wife can't pick up because of her work, they call my mother. They're on top of things and their reps are very professional. However, sometimes the images on their cameras don't work as fast as I would like them to. Other than that however, their system is good and we're satisfied with our experience with Vivint. I'd recommend this security company to my friends.

    We've had Vivint for three years. I've had some app issues and communication error at times but for the most part, it's been pretty good. The installers have all been really good as well. The only thing is that in the future, being in their three of the five-year contract, I'll probably not know if everything is long-term. It's because technology could catch up with Vivint and I'm not sure that they've had updates which are more along the lines of the cost of 60 bucks a month for monitoring and equipment. It's fine now but when you come down to it, you can add a monitor for 20 bucks and the holo cameras and those other home stuff a lot cheaper.

    I've had this system for just a year and it's pissing me off. I'm still having issues with the Vivint security system. It cost me money every time they get their guys over. A guy came in this last time and he checked everything over. He did whatever he had to do and everything was working. And then a few weeks later, everything is back to the way that it was running. Half the cameras aren't working, the box is saying that it's not connecting to the internet and the door sensors aren't alarming. With the Vivint representatives, the interactions were all good. They explained everything and they do what they have to do. But for equipment wise, it sucks. I've had security systems before with different companies and this is one that I don't like. There are too many issues. Vivint should try to cut the number of years down on the program especially when people are buying stuff that is not working. I won't recommend the Vivint system to anybody.

    I’m unhappy with the sales experience. I would have appreciated the salesman making an appointment with me rather than hijacking my entire evening. The survey was taken before I received any documents and before the installer arrived. I was coached on how to answer. I let the installer install the equipment because that was easier than a confrontation with the salesman. Who installs a system before the customer has the chance to read the Service Agreement?

    I told Vivint's representative to give me the spiel, give me his card and write up a quote to see how much what we wanted was. He said that he would call us back and before the night ended, my husband called him back and told him that we were interested in their offer. Since getting the system, it has been good to me. Recently I realized that my door camera isn't working and while I haven't had the chance to call Vivint, I haven't had any issues with it either.

    We’ve had this system for about 2 years now. Can’t wait till our contract is up. Tried to set up a technician to come out for a problem we were having and he or Vivint canceled the appointment and said they would call to reschedule. Instead they just showed up when we weren’t there and never called us back for a follow up (this was over 3 months ago). More problems than it’s worth. So much so that we added additional security devices that are unrelated to Vivint. Maybe others have had better luck, I’m just speaking from our personal experience. Will never sign a 5 year contract again.

    We had the Vivint system installed at our commercial location based on the recommendation and assurance of a top Vivint technician. The system was inadequate for our location, as we had trouble with sensors, the secondary glance panel and cameras linking up properly. Vivint is also unable to install a smoke or heat detector in commercial buildings. This system might be good for homes - BUT IT IS NOT GOOD for commercial use.

    The Vivint sales representatives I worked with wanted to hug me like glue when they thought I was gonna spend about $23,400. They wanted to make a sale. I wanted to buy an alarm system and they were determined to hook me up before I left, so I ended up buying one. They were good and they helped me out a lot. I customized the package. We have a farm with three houses on it and we rent out one of them. We needed some security at our house because we’re gone most of the time during the day. The satisfaction with the service has been good.

    However, when we had a problem, we called and they were scheduling three to four weeks out. When your alarm system is giving you problems, you don’t wanna wait that long to get a service. So, Vivint needs to have some more help in addressing service in scheduling. And when the guy finally came, he came unannounced. There was no contact from Vivint about, “We got you scheduled for this day and so forth.” But he did a good job and he got everything up and running again.

    The installation went well, although I noticed that I had a lot of slowdowns on my internet. Once the system was put in and when the tech came out to do the repair, he said that they had the modems or the router way too close together when they installed it. They had them stacked and it was getting an incredible amount of heat buildup which was slowing everything down, so he moved stuff around and seemed to be working a lot better now. The guy during the initial installation was very good and very helpful and he explained things. During the second experience, we told them what we wanted and he had it. They worked well and he was able to bill us for it. We put another camera in the house. I recommend Vivint with a caveat that I hope they would improve on their service time.

    My thermostat hasn't worked since installing several weeks ago. After several failed "chat" attempts, I finally was successful in reaching a human yesterday. After 52 minutes of troubleshooting, the lady informed me that she would get someone out to fix the problem (which was my 1st request rather than spend an hour of my time on the phone).

    Again, the product hasn't worked since installation. The technician called to inform that he was on the this morning at 7:30 am et this morning. The appt was for 8:00. I called around 8:30 to make sure he had gotten in ok as my mom was meeting him at 8. She lives two houses over. He informed me that he had moved onto another appointment since no one answered the door. In disbelief, I asked "why didn't you call me?" His reply was that he did in fact call me...at 7:30 to make me aware he was on the way. This is the same level of BS I might expect from Comcast or some other incompetent provider but certainly not what I expected from Vivint. I've requested a member from Vivint's mgt team give me a call. I haven't heard from anyone.

    I've been with Vivint for four or five years and the only issue that I've had so far was, for some reason, my main screen that I activate everything with went out. So, I had to get somebody to come by and work on it. And Vivint sent somebody out who reprogrammed it and it kicked right on. And then it was working great. Also, about four or five months ago, the screen and my doorbell camera messed up and I had to get somebody out. But other than that, I really haven't had any issues about anything.

    First, while the reps that pitched Smarthomes products were professional & courteous, and the tech that did the installation was attentive, I was charged $27.58 more than the quoted amount I understood as $53. Second, after the 2 reps that explained the products & what we wanted & agreed upon left, Scott the tech proceeded to do the installation. 2.5 hours later the tech says, “I don’t know what happened but I need you to re-sign because the price quoted didn’t include the outside camera not the back door.” He offered to remove the camera & lock on the back door to bring the cost back down to the original $53 as agreed upon. However, after 3 plus hours of installation I thought, there must be miscommunication and Harrison, would clear it up. Harrison said that he would return today but it’s at 5:30 so he probably is a no show. Not good business when a new install ends up costing more than the original quote.

    Last, unless the documents for what was supposed to happen vs what happened are in an email, I did not get the document with the order number to confirm and or dispute what was included in the $53 quote vs the oops it’s actually $80 but Harrison said he spoke with Headquarters and they will do $75... I’m unsure about this now and I’m sure that most of the acts Vivint promised “what it will do” it did not.

    So. They install a wireless-n router in case the system will not work with the current wireless modem/router you have. If you lose internet signal, the system still has backup power and it uses a data network, much like a cell phone, in order to still provide coverage. What was difficult to swallow is that you are taking out an interest free loan with Citizens One bank. This way Vivint gets their money upfront for the equipment. You then need to pay off loan. Afterwards, your bill will drop to $40 per month. The equipment costs $1648.00. (That's with a modest set-up.)

    Sometimes, using the app on the cell phone is a bit laggy, and you have to take an extra minute or two to make sure the system is armed. Also, the installers seem to be a bit over-loaded with work. That's good for them of course (I'm all for people working and doing something good for themselves), but for the customer, it's awkward. A team of two or three will start at your place, then another might show up to help out, then one or two of the original techs will have to leave because they need to go to another job, then the ones remaining might be visibly strained because they are in a hurry to get to their next job. In the end, in your politeness to not make their lives more difficult and let them get done, after they leave you realize you forgot to ask some questions. I know that's a mouthful. Just be focused, stay out of their way, and save questions until the end. Write your questions down.

    Every home needs a security system so Vivint deserves a look. People I know also have it and they are happy. Make sure you get the certificate of install asap. I had to ask for it but I think they should have that on the day of, right there for you. It'll save some money on the homeowner's policy. And one more thing I did not like. They also don't tell you about the $75 fee for someone to come out if you have equipment issues. The way they get you on this is: Since you are purchasing the equipment from them (through the loan) they wash their hands! Now, it's between you and the bank. Vivint then comes in a egress to come out and help when you have equipment issues, for a modest fee of $75 per visit.

    JUST MAKE SURE you don't let them go UNTIL THEY FIX IT or else they'll come out, troubleshoot, tell you everything "should " be good to go, and then leave. If the problem is not fixed, guess who pays another $75 for the visit? The disclaimer here is this: You shouldn't experience any problems, but problems do happen, so be prepared. (I have a friend who went through this. Heedless to say, she's not happy.)

    The good news is, if you're away and someone comes around, Vivint will dispatch the police. The camera works good and you can see the person, talk to them, and even record video and take pics. Also, the equipment has smoke and fire technology. If there's a fire when you're away, they call the fire department as well. The app on your phone alerts you, wherever you are, if there is any activity around your home.

    The representative was very informative, set my mind at ease. The installers made me regret going with Vivint almost immediately. They had to take the ring doorbell off my account because they couldn’t get it to work. My sky panel had to be put in a weird place. But the customer service was fabulous. Fast, polite and patient.

    Great customer service. The salesman and technician were very friendly and approachable. They answered all of my questions and taught me how to properly use the equipment. Showed me everything Vivint offers. I will probably be recommending this security system to all of my friends looking for a new system for their home.

    I had a excellent experience so far with Vivint. From the initial phone call thru the installation process everything was great. My tech (Megan) was very experienced, knowledgeable and she answered all my questions. I feel so at peace now knowing that my home is fully protected wherever I might be.

    The entire process was pretty seamless. I bought my system through a Vivint rep inside a Best Buy where I took advantage of a Best Buy financing deal which saved me from committing to a 4-5 year contract through Vivint. The rep coordinated the sale and scheduled my installation right there at Best Buy. When the technician arrive a few days later, he was very courteous and knowledgeable. We went through what I had purchased and he actually made some suggestions to improve my camera coverage which saved me some money in the long run because I didn't really need as much as I had originally thought. He also explained the technical capability of the camera recording system and suggested getting the smart drive for what I wanted. Because of saving money by getting rid a few cameras; upgrading to get the smart drive was practically a wash!

    He was very careful to not make a mess or damage anything in the house during installation as well. The only issue was when the technician was trying to close out my ticket, he was having a problem with the Best Buy sales system communicating with the Vivint sales system. Things weren't showing up properly because of the changes we made on site and it took a bit to get it all lined up on both ends. He went through the "training" pretty quickly; but that is because a lot of it is pretty self explanatory (especially if you have some kind of tech-y skills). I've only had the system for 2 days and I'm already loving it. Being able to control my thermostat or check my camera feed from my phone is awesome and convenient. So far, I am very pleased with my experience.

    Vivint is a good service. They came in, answered my questions and I decided to do it. The sales rep described the product really good and explained the options, and then the installation went quick and easy. I got the basic service package and I'm very satisfied with it. Any time that I’ve had a problem, they fixed it or corrected it. I feel secure with Vivint.

    We got alarms inside the house from Vivint. I've gotten a couple of false alarms in the garage at about two o'clock in the morning. The alarm squeals and I have to come downstairs and disarm it and then phone in. There's an announcement on the panel but we have a two-story house and the panel's on the main floor and our bedrooms are upstairs so it takes a little while to get up and stagger downstairs. But since the tech changed the panel about four months ago, we haven't had one lately. At present, I have a low battery alarm but I haven't gotten to it yet.

    I got their app on my iPhone but I have to phone in to find out if I can use it because I have the old panel and I was told it was not that easy to do. We got a young man come around a couple of weeks ago to talk to us, just after I put this app on my phone and he couldn't help me. He said I had to phone in and then he said that I probably need a new system. I talked to somebody about it and found out that it will cost $600. However, this app is working for me and I'm happy with the older panels I have. Except for that false alarm, I've been really satisfied.

    I love Vivint. I had ADT before and Vivint is 10 times better. It's a very user-friendly security system. I got the doorbell, the sensors and then the Sky pen. The person I dealt with was really nice and knowledgeable. However, the installation was one thing that I was a little surprised about. It was a takeover from ADT and it took two people about seven hours to do it. Nevertheless, the installers were really nice, very polite and professional. Overall, Vivint is a great product and I had a great experience with them.
