    I lost my index finger in the army so I have my middle finger as my pointer now and at the same time it's broke and fat. I come in two or three times and accidentally, instead of putting 5058 I maybe hit one number and then it was either gone too fast, bam! That quick, a lady from Vivint is talking to me on the phone and asked if everything was okay, anything she could do and if I could give her my security. Also, I walked in one night and was in a hurry 'cause it was windier than heck out here. I threw my aluminum poles with my flag, just shoo them on the floor and it lit up my glass breakage. Vivint has been the best alarm system I ever had.

    The installation team was very professional, polite, and did a very nice job. They had to come back twice 'cause I didn't have the Internet set up the first time and they never complained or said a word. But the service has been very satisfactory and I recommend Vivint. They're friendly and they have taken very good care of me.

    A friend of mine had Vivint and I went with them because of the camera. I have the cameras over the phone which is pretty good but I have a lot of issues with it and the Vivint team had to come out several times with putting a router because I have AT&T and I have to use a D-Link router. I like the door lock but I have issues with the doorbell sometimes because it’s too far away from the router itself. The installation went okay but the software was faulty in the panel and the internal battery was not functioning properly. So, as soon as they installed, they had to come back out several times because they kept on saying that the battery was low and my house wasn’t being protected. That was very frustrating. But the team at Vivint are always nice and they always come out and fix the problems.

    At first I thought this was a great deal. A day later I still had no camera in my backyard. When the camera was finally up and running it was pointed in the wrong direction and could not be adjusted properly to get a good view of my backyard. I called salesperson for the area and when he got back to me I was told that his technicians were to busy and suggested I call Vivint to get someone out to look at it. Long story short I moved the camera myself. You would think that for two thousand dollars and thirty dollars a month they would take care of their customers. I would not recommend using this company to anyone.

    I have Vivint's monitoring and a Cloud service for video. I spoke to a couple of different reps and some of them were helpful while others were not so much. I pulled pieces to get information. I also got an installation schedule which was cancelled. They sent me a date in which they could come back to reschedule and I had to confirm it. So when I called in, I was left on hold for an extended period of time and they were consistently trying to upsell me on things. Other than that, the first technician who came, Kye, was really cool and knowledgeable, but he wasn’t able to get it installed. The next guy who came completed the installation. The service has been pretty good. Initially, the panel continuously drops offline, but since I hotwired it, I no longer have that issue. Also, the video tends to take pretty long to load. I was told that was because the speed of the internet which couldn’t be the case because I have the fastest internet offered.

    Vivint's guy showed us the product and we were interested. Being able to see everything, unlock the door from anywhere, and put the alarm on unarmed from anywhere won us over. The thermostat thing was also neat. The installation was also good and it went quickly. We feel much safer knowing that if the system goes off, it goes straight to the police and that somebody will be here.

    The service that their rep provided us when he first came was excellent. However, as with most other companies, he made the impression that you can run the footage back to any point in time, but that’s not the case. If the camera catches the motion, it records a 30 second clip. But if it doesn’t detect it, then there’s no going back. There was a time when somebody dropped off a package at the front door and there was no way that the camera should have missed it. That was when I found out and that was months after we signed up. What’s the point of having cameras if you can’t go back and check the footage at any time? I wouldn’t have signed the contract if I have known that. I also had to reach out to their rep and he responded to me for a little while, then he completely stopped responding and I had to reach out to the company. Plus, he was not able to get the referral bonus that I was promised.

    All in all, I would tell my friends to look into someplace else because of the recording issue. I know that Vivint has that available, but it’s super expensive and I’ve looked into other places and their price beat Vivint. The app doesn’t always work that great either. It doesn’t always connect when it should and we experienced little glitches. A few times ago, it was saying that the garage door was open but it wasn’t and sometimes it was saying that the front door was unlocked when it was really locked.

    I had a different security company but I wanted to change to wireless. I looked online and then I chose Vivint and I've been a customer for so long. I have the monitor on the doors, the smoke detector, and a sensor. All my experiences with Vivint’s representatives had been excellent. I'm in Texas and in an area that had been hit by several storms. My home was flooded and was under construction. So, the wall had to be replaced and I cut out a piece of the wall and I kept the monitor going so I didn’t have any issues. Then once the walls were backed up, I called Vivint and told them I needed to install the monitor on the new wall.

    I have never had any issues with Vivint. Their people who came here were very respectful. They were very clean-cut and neat-looking. If I had questions, they answered the questions. I had an excellent interaction with them. I have referred people to Vivint when they ask me which security company I have. Although, when I retired, my contract lapsed and I wanted to keep Vivint. I needed them to lower my rate but they told me no. Three weeks later, they told me that they had a new manager, and they said that there was a program that they had. When a customer calls requesting something that may be out of the ordinary to them, they should not be so quick to say no but to say, “Let me check with my manager or my management team,” because that was what I used to do. Especially if you have a customer that’s been with you for a long time, and they wanna stay as a customer. The whole idea is to keep customers.

    Vivint has the best combination of less technology and reasonable price. In the long run, you would end up saving money with them than with other companies. In fact, when deciding the features of my service package, I got a couple of quotes from other companies, and I'd still have to pay a lot of extra money to get cameras, and I already got the automatic and keypad door lock. To get all that stuff through other companies would almost be the same price, but still a lot more money per month. And while the interactions with our sales representatives went well, they didn't know everything. I ended up purchasing $500 more stuff when the installer came because they never even offered me the 1 TB hard drive that you need to use the cameras. Had they offered that to me, I would've said yes.

    Nevertheless, the installation was great. They made sure that everything was set up, and they walked through everything with us on how to use it. They also did a thorough and clean job. So far, the products have been good. We did have something crazy, like our alarm glass break sensor went off which freaked us out and we couldn't figure out why that happened. Still, that's the first time it has ever gone off. Also, we had WiFi repeater failure but Vivint sent another one and fixed it. Besides those issues,

    Everything started out great. Monitoring was always on point with any kind of alarm. After a few years I moved and transferred service is when it all went south. I had been a customer with Vivint for nearly 5 years. When I moved to a more rural area where cell coverage was a little spotty for some carriers, Vivint was unable to provide the monitoring like they used to. Initially everything seemed fine, but then the panel would randomly sound off due to cell signal loss. I contacted Vivint, and after a lengthy wait time and conversation with their support team, I was basically told there was nothing they could do and was suggested to buy a signal booster.

    Like I said, the cell signal was shotty in the area for some carriers, but my personal phones didn't have problems. So investing and installing a booster was not at the top of my priority list. Due to the panel's signal loss being intermittent also put the issue on the backburner. The main issue I had about the whole thing, was Vivint pretending like there wasn't a problem. I was paying full price every month for a service they couldn't 100% provide, and Most of all they didn't even have the decency to give me a courtesy call any time the panel lost signal.

    Basically, they knew they lost the ability to monitor my home and family's safety AND DID NOTHING, NOT EVEN A CALL! It wasn't until I called threatening to cancel service that they said I should have called sooner. I reminded them I had called previously, and was told there was nothing they could do and to buy a signal booster. I was then told I should have kept calling... Unbelievable! After discussions elevated in spirit, they offered to send a tech out. By this time, I was fed up with it and their lack of ethics and complete incompetence in handling the matter. The best they could do for me was to offer me a 10% discount to buy out of the remainder of my contract, which still equated to over a $1000! I had to pay over a grand for services they couldn't provide is the point this review. Shop around and don't let them rope you into a "deal" by signing up for any extended contract.

    The setup was quick and the persons I dealt with were awesome. Fair price for what I got. The panel interface is responsive and intuitive. Don't make a bunch of needless noises. Easy to disarm/arm. You get adequate time to arm and leave. The app works ok, but has a few issues with it getting "stuck" on disarming/arming screen. Normally if I go to another option and back to the main screen, it refreshes. The issue has happened on multiple devices, so isn't just my phone. Overall, my wife likes it and so I'm happy with it.

    Vivint is a pain right now and I'm fairly pissed off. My wife called me up and said she couldn't see the cameras. I rely heavily on those cameras to monitor my kids when they arrive from school. So I had to ask permission to get off from work, did some troubleshooting and got it going. This happens at least once a month and I'd have to reboot the system. But it's happening a lot less. It was happening twice a month in the beginning. I gave Vivint the benefit of the doubt and gave it a shot. The representatives gave me steps to reboot the sub-panel and disconnect the router. I had to get my ladder, go up to the camera and hold the button down, disconnect the camera, and so on until it starts working.

    From the other times I had spoken with representatives, they told me that I have to reset the system at least once a month. It was kinda ridiculous but okay. So I tried whatever I remembered and luckily, it worked. I didn't have to call. I want Vivint to get better as far as the system coming offline. But other than that, they are very reliable. When I had made mistakes and the alarm went off, they were quick to call and see what was going on. As far as getting back to the code and on the speaker, that was awesome. I can't expect any better.

    Vivint’s service was lacking and their system was not secure. On the video, it looked like somebody was trying to mess with the system. But my wife and I were standing outside looking at the door that they were messing with and there was nobody there. It was obvious that somebody was pranking us. I kept telling Vivint that I was hacked and that alarms weren't going off. They had a technician come out and told us that there is no way that it could happen, that their codes are changed daily and something else was updated regularly.

    The technician noticed that our panel had been messed with. Since my inside panel happens to be in my bedroom upstairs, that means somebody got all the way up there. He also added that it could be that the house shook and because they have a screw that's tamper safe, he put a piece of tape back there so that it won't jiggle anymore and that was the only thing that he did. It was suspicious that he had a Vivint car but he did not have any of their tablets. He also didn't have anything on his clothes to say that he was from them, not even a jacket. I was told the guy who actually installed the system would be coming and it wasn't him. When I asked to find out who he was, he told me he was in the area and he can go get the guy who installed the system, but he added that I'd be put back on the list and it would be another day. So, I went ahead since I wanted the system get looked at.

    After that, he was very dismissive of me. We showed him the video and told him where I was standing and what wasn't happening. Instead, he called me a liar and asked why I didn't call the police when somebody was trying to break into my house. I insisted that I was looking and there was nobody there. I then asked why Vivint's sensor didn't go off and why didn't the alarm company call since the door in the video was open enough to make contact with the sensor. He had nothing to say about that and that's about when he left.

    When I called Vivint to tell them I'm dissatisfied with their system, that I do not want their representatives coming out here anymore and that I would like to send their property back to them, their representative said no. I haven't received anything in the mail and I still have their equipment which is still on. I'm guessing that they're gonna try to charge me for it but if somebody at the house did burn, I don't know if they would actually call or just say that we haven't paid the bill, so they're not gonna call. But I'm not gonna find out.

    I've been with Vivint for two months and I'm annoyed with their system. I really don't have time over and over again to learn how to use the door things. So, I don't get much relief except to tell me that the doors are opening up. I have a busy schedule. I work, I've got two sisters in the hospital and I've got a family, so I got a lot to do. I gotta learn how to use it. It was very complicated and I need more instructions. The installation, nevertheless, was great and I'm appreciating the system, but I don't know how to use and to set it up. I had it set up, but every two minutes, the alarm would go off as we walk out the door and then we forget to do something.

    The system is too confusing. I can't run every time I gotta shut and open the door. I can't be checking it all so I can get the alarm system going. There's gotta be a better way. I'm not gonna turn an alarm off when I have to go out the door. I talked to Vivint twice when I told I have to call back to get some instructions. It's a wonderful system and I like it, but at the same time, I'm frustrated since I can't use it and I'm paying for it. Vivint's system is not for me.

That’s when we noticed that we had issues and that it wasn't recording so my wife called a technician. They showed up and fixed it.

    My review is totally mixed. The first tech to my home unable to install. Communication between home review and what tech could do way off. 2 tech Eric ** excellent but he spent 2 hrs on phone with his own people getting the runaround on situations. This company can take all the surveys it wants, but unless they act it is wasted time. The company has many compartmentalize parts not working together well. No meshing communication. Analogy: marbles scattered across the floor and no one gathering them or responsible. So many errors! No one in charge of fixing them.

    After sorting through everything, I was sent a copy of the agreement I supposedly agreed to ( with my name filled out on it) with the wrong price and included a clause that a $74 charge for equipment would be charged to my card used for the first mo service. I never say this form and never would have agreed to it in any way! Customer care rep Marissa ** deserves praise for assuring me records showed the info not correct. You can’t send this type of letter out to customers and expect them to have positive feelings about Vivint. Streamlining your operations a must! One hand needs to know what the other is doing.

I hooked it up on the Alexa. It's not allowed to disarm because it would not be good for us if a burglar came in and turn the alarm off, but I could say, “Hey Alexa, tell Vivint to turn on my alarm,” and it turns it on. But then, I had a little bit of an issue controlling my thermostat.

    A gentleman from Vivint was going through the neighborhood and he came to our house and saw that we had ADT. Then he asked my wife if she wanted to do the promotion. He was very professional and he got us to leave ADT. Vivint's people came, took over our equipment, and added things to our system. Everything was good until six months ago when we started having problems with our system. We have had so many problems with Vivint to the point where everything in my house has been changed out. We had two cameras replaced and had to change our door contact. Everything now is basically run by business. It is only after I put in a complaint do I get a callback which is reasonable because if I'm not calling and telling them that I have an issue then they would think everything is okay. That is fine with me and I don't really complain about people not calling me as long as my things are running like it's supposed to run.

    There is a lot of the automation part if it's a two-story home and the doorbell is not working. The person has to keep running back to up and down wherever the panel is until the problem is corrected. I'm the one who was doing the legwork even though I knew Vivint was gonna charge me if they come up. Those things aren't quite explained to me, which they should. It was frustrating but they always seem to help me through it, which took away some of the frustration. Sometimes it may just be worth that charge and maybe the charge wasn't so much but I understand people have to make a living and it's a different situation.

    Also, our camera wasn't working right for almost six months, and so they went back and deducted that from the bill. They gave me credits every time. Vivint was doing their software updates and that was 'causing not to see the video camera. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it wouldn't work. There were good things and bad things about Vivint. But overall, I'm satisfied because I'm still with the company since it was a point where they were gonna just cancel my contract and let me get out of it.

    I like Vivint's web page. But when people are addressing comments or saying things on their website, they would say to that person to send a private message them and maybe they could work through it, sometimes other consumers want to see that Vivint talk online to that person to see how it was handled and whatnot. Because it leaves the other consumer on the dock, whether they ever solved that person's problem. Regular consumers would like to see everything because sometimes, that consumer might have the same problem, and then they would call Vivint to ask for help as well.

    Another thing, I know what I need to tell the reps when I do the survey after the tech comes and if I don't do the survey correctly, the tech is the one who would be penalized. If a client has been going through a lot at that time frame, he may not recommend that system to another client. And the tech is the one who's penalized even though that tech came out and did what they were supposed to do and did a great job to try to help the person with their issue. I didn't think that part was fair.

    Nevertheless, right now, the system is running perfectly. They basically took all the equipment that we had in here, even our panels, and gave me everything new and since then, it has been decent. Every blue moon, I might see a camera offline and instead of having to call customer service, I can do it through my app. Last night, I just called to add a few lighting systems to the alarm which is fantastic. It's an excellent alarm when it's working right. It's state of the art. What I don't like is how I have to do my own troubleshooting with the tech on the phone. But I understand that I have to pay techs to come out. When the system is working, it's one of the best alarm systems out there.

    Vivint came around advertising and their reps asked if they could take some of my time. They were very good, very informative, not pushy, and very nice. The same people installed the equipment and their service during the installation was great as well. So far, I’m very satisfied with the features of the service package that I got.

    The service package I got has plenty of good features. I like all the smart home feature which I have integrated with the Nest. And that was why I went with Vivint. When I put it on TV, it automatically turns to the eco mode. But I didn’t like that my glass break sensor got started by its own a couple of times even though there was no breakage. There was a technology defect or a bug and the sensor bypass went on. Their sales rep was okay but not really great because he didn’t give me all the different options available. He was only trying to push me with an option where I had to take full services. I wanted the 999 per month package which I came to know only through the Best Buy guys.

    My aunt has Vivint and she bought one for me. I wanted to get a system with cameras so it was included in my service package. I have all the smartphone stuff too that it connects to. The Vivint installation guy who came was good. He was also nice and it seemed he knew what he was doing. But he should have installed those other kinds of cameras from the beginning. I literally had someone come to my house every other day for a few weeks.

    Moreover, the first two weeks were horrible. The cameras don't work at all. They kept switching out the cameras because they would go out all the time. It's because they bought the wrong kind. There might be something in my wall that’s blocking it and when they knew there was something wrong with going through the Wi-Fi, they just put in the ones that go through the wiring in my house. But it was a total waste of time and I was about to cancel with them. And while the customer service was good when you call in and they got the camera to work, the whole setup time was horrible.

    Few choices in the remote area where my weekend home was so I went with Vivint because they could provide the camera which I could access via app and turn on and off system while I was away. I feel the monthly price is quite high, they make you commit to a 2 year contract then require you to put a credit card down to autopay your monthly fee but do not provide you with a e-bill. When I requested one they said it wasn't possible. What!? Then my installer did not leave signs because he had a fall at the end of my install. I called and asked for three signs, I was told they would charge me for any sign outside of one and then a shipping fee as well. When I already feel like I am being overcharged monthly!?

    There are no accommodations made for customers, just simply a very friendly "we understand but that's our policy." It feels like they do not work with the customers and that you are locked in for two years. I do like the camera and service but cringe each time I have to ask for anything special. You can't give me a $5 sign!? Come on. I am not impressed with the way the company is run or the the way this leave customers feeling.

    I have a family member who goes around and takes whatever she wants. I had had some things go missing. I heard of Vivint from my brother and I got their cameras and the doorbell. My grandparents had ADT but it seemed plain. But like with any computer or man-made system, I've had a few issues here and there with Vivint's system. I've had to call and their representatives have been good. They get on their computer and do the thing on the screen then they have me do stuff. It's pretty much a walkthrough and it's nice.

    But I still have an issue with my doorbell camera where it won't record. I went into the settings like they said but it still won't record. Plus when people ring my doorbell, my phone will ring but the doorbell inside the house won't. I've also had two of my cameras go out twice and that worried me 'cause I have a motorcycle that I'd like to know is okay if I'm not riding it to work. But Vivint got the cameras fixed. And other than those issues, I like the service. Vivint is awesome. In fact, I called a friend and he got it too.

    My daughter-in-law works for Primerica and Vivint's security system is one of the things that they can sell and recommend. She told me about it and I signed up. The person who installed our Vivint system came from Indiana and she was wonderful. She was neat and did everything right the first time. She put up with my grandkids running around and we all loved her. When it comes to the features of the system, I don’t use all of them, but I set them at night and I use them when I leave. One time, my son-in-law set it and I knew it said "armed" as I was leaving. But when I got home to disarm it, it was already disarmed and I didn't know how that happened.

    Then my son-in-law got Vivint, too. He said that sometimes when he pulls up to their garage and try to disarm the system, it takes about three tries because it's hooked into the home internet. That has happened once to me, too and it's kind of annoying but I'm gonna leave it that way because if I forget to lock the door, I just assume here that the door is open.

    The other thing is when I accidentally forgot that I turned down my nighttime thing and I went to check one of the doors and opened it, all the alarms went off. Then somebody called me to make sure everything was okay. I was embarrassed about the false alarm and I hope that didn’t charge me anything. I would tell my friends that Vivint is a very customer service-oriented place and their installers are really good. It's kind of ironic though because my daughter-in-law was the one who recommended them to me and when they got their system installed at their home, the first installer who came out got everything wrong. They had to have his boss or somebody above him come back in a couple of days and redo everything.

    We heard about Vivint when they came knocking on the door in the neighborhood. The service package that we chose was the touch-lock on the front door -- accessible lock from the front door without using a key -- which was what really enticed us to the package. We also have the camera, motion detectors and the security on the windows and doors. We had some difficulty at the beginning with some of the equipment being faulty like the motion detection that was in my husband’s office where we have several valuables and equipment. It was a long-drawn-out process to try to get it resolved. After several go-betweens, we finally got that ironed out. And it did not end in my satisfaction, but we did make other arrangements for security in that room.

    The installation team was great. They came as planned. It took a long time to install the system because we did have several working features and place that we had to disconnect and reconnect with theirs. It was an issue where a technician had to come back in to redo some work on the front door and they did that. The installation took up until 11:00 in the evening. They showed my husband how to operate blocks and everything.

    We did recommend Vivint to my daughter and her husband. They are still currently using their services. They have younger children in the home and so they were able to use the system to have the door alarmed. When the door is opened, closed or secured, they have different codes for the kids and so they could tell which of the kids are coming and going. That’s been a great convenience. And another convenience that we do enjoy with Vivint is we don’t have to give out the code to anyone like if we have relatives visiting from out of state. They just call us whenever they are sitting on the front porch and we unlock it remotely so that not everybody is running around with your code. The only thing that I had a distaste was the motion detector that we never got resolved in the office and the pricing. I felt that the pricing of the package is overpriced. Other than that, overall, it is a satisfactory experience with Vivint.

    Vivint’s service has been good for the last two years. But on the first year, there was some mix-up. I was not supposed to pay for something and it took me six months to get my money back. Other than that, they are quick to respond and their team is good. They say what they can do and they are nice. Their equipment also works great, although they replaced my board two times.

    I had already been doing research on putting together my own digital security system using stuff that I could buy at Best Buy. So, when the Vivint rep presented the package, it was like what I had already been looking for nearly put together, so that was the reason why I purchased it. Also, the rep we dealt with was very knowledgeable. However, we've had one problem with one of our four cameras constantly losing the connection, But, apart from that, the system has been good.

    We bought a house and Vivint was already installed. The installation team came and redid some stuff when we initially set up our account and it was good. However, the system now won't connect to our Wi-Fi. It's possibly just synced off. It still works and all the sensors are good but it doesn't have some features because it's not connected. But we're satisfied with the service package. Vivint is good and easy, and it gives us peace of mind.

    My daughter and son-in-law has Vivint security system and I'm a cosigner for them. The features of the system are okay and I pay Vivint $57 for my equipment and about $20 for services every month. But I know that there's another company that offers better rates. We recently dealt with one of the Vivint reps and right now I have one of my door alarms disabled since I got the service because I had two false alarms and a third one wouldn’t have been fine. I had to remove that, but I'm still charged for it.

    We’ve been with Vivint for about three months now and I’m not too pleased with the system. We had some problems with it right from the get-go with the installation. We had to have them come back out because it was almost like they were in a hurry to close a quota for the day. When the guy came in and started the sales pitch, it was about 9:30 in the evening. Then, an installation crew came over at about 10:00 and they were here until after midnight trying to finish up on what they could do. Then they said they had to have somebody else come out the next day to finish up on the last bit of stuff that they had to hook up.

    When they got done, the installer didn’t bother to hook the wiring up to the outside box and cover it back up. He hooked the wiring up where he left the box off and the wires and terminals were exposed. If young kids wanted to, they could have put their hands on the side of it, shorted out the wires, and got shocked. I called and complained about it then they sent somebody out the next day who fixed that. It was shabby work on the part of their installation team.

    Then, we had a problem with the outside camera that watches the driveway. It wasn’t working and it was offline more than it was online, so when I said something about that, they sent somebody out to try to fix that. It worked for a day then it went offline again and it’s been offline for at least a month now. Periodically, the doorbell camera was going on and off, too. Then it went off to where it doesn’t even work now. My daughter called Vivint and talked with somebody about it. I also did everything I could do with the panel to try to reset it. I turned it off and turned it back on. Then I turned off the modem and turned that back on. I also unplugged it and plugged it back in. I was too frustrated and I didn’t even bother to call somebody to try to help me fix it over the phone. If I had my way, I’d pull everything out and ask them to give me back my money or whatever I put into it.

    Also, we believe that one of the installers that came on the original night walked away with my son’s Costa Del Mar sunglasses. When I talked to their sales guy about it, he worked with somebody in customer support and they discounted me a $100 off the installation fee plus, they sent a check for around $120. It was supposed to offset the cost of the glasses and try to make me happy. It was a bad experience and I was not happy with their service at all. I would not recommend somebody to dig this service.

    A friend of mine told me about Vivint and had negative reviews about it but I wanted to find out for myself. And now, I’m seriously frustrated with Vivint. Since I got it, everything's been terrible and it hasn’t been a year yet. It would be in December. Every time I turn, there was a problem. First, the door wasn’t alarming off so they came out and fixed it. Then I turn around, it’s been my camera ever since. I got one camera inside and one on the outside and neither one is working. They came out and sent five different technicians out there to fix the camera, still not working. It never records so it was just useless for me to get it.

    Also, the customer service has been poor. Every supervisor and manager there doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Everybody’s telling me something different and they wanna send somebody out there every time instead of getting to the root of the problem. They should give me some new equipment in here and quit sending somebody out. The techs keep telling me that it’s gonna work but as soon as they leave, it stops working. It gets worse and worse every time they send somebody out there, even the manager.

    My brother recommended Vivint and I liked the features of the security system. The Vivint people also seemed to know what they were doing. However, it's been a love-hate relationship. They added a lot to the system but the features don't always work. They also have trouble trying to make those things work properly. Everybody from Vivint tried to help the best that they can, but it seemed it would break down with some of the folks that they were sending out. A couple of people, in particular, were not very professional, not very knowledgeable, and not very sociable. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The tech was not very good and professional at all, but then they fixed it.

    In the last two visits we've had with the gentleman from Lansing, he knows his stuff. He made sure that the system works and that he explained how it works in ways that helped to understand and it made a little bit more sense. Because the way it was described to us initially was just completely wrong. And so that is the one of the things that has really preserved the system in our home right now. The system still doesn't work perfectly but at least now, I understand its limitations and understand why it doesn't work perfectly.

    There was a door to door salesman from Vivint was a good guy. When I needed him he was fine. But when I referred him to my cousin he just talked to my cousin once or texted him back and forth, then he never showed up for the appointment. But still the salesman did a good job, except for this one part where I asked for another panel upstairs. I wanted a panel that when the alarm goes off, I’m able to talk to the person to the panel. However, he sold me a separate panel, which is the carry-on where I put portable anywhere and don't talk to that one and if something happens. I have to run downstairs and talk to the person.

    Other than that, the installation team did their part and they were great. I got cameras, sensors on my windows and the panel. I’ve been wanting a camera for a while. I like the doorbell camera as it detects people that walk by. And then I got a two-story house so I always wanted a sensor in all my windows upstairs for more security. However, I’m not so happy with the cameras. The signals are in and out but Vivint told me that that’s because of the internet. Nevertheless, the picture quality is great and so far Vivint's service is good.

The service kept malfunctioning at first but finally I got a young kid out here and what happened was there was an antenna somewhere and it had to be outside of that little box. It took him at least a couple months to solve everything but he got it fixed and part of it was the fact that I'm so far out. Since then I've had no problems.

    Yes, it's time to sue Vivint; I spent 1356.00 at Best Buy for their "Smart Home System". I had to leave town (which was the primary reason for getting the system installed). At about 90 days (not even the full 120 days)... the system just quit working, I couldn't check in on security from my phone. I was several hundred miles away when this happened, and could not get back into town until April. The system was installed in Sept. 2017... it failed Dec. 23, 2017. I could not get back until April 2018. I spent hours discussing this issue and was assured not to worry, everything was probably ok, it was more or less an internet problem and they wanted to know if there was anyone I trusted who could go to the house to access the panel! HUH?

    Yeah, that makes perfect sense, just give somebody my key. When I arrived home in April, the system was not active, the panel had frozen. The doorbell didn't work, the outdoor camera didn't work, I was surprised also there was no alarm voice after my entrance. They then said they'd send a tech out. Tech did not show up. They then rescheduled; Tech called and canceled, said, I'd have to reschedule. I got back online with the chat and made another appointment. She rescheduled for today May 3 from 10a-12p.

    However, I noticed I had an email I didn't open until yesterday... it was the chat operator saying, "Our chat was disconnected before I could finish scheduling the technician. Our system is having issues so it did NOT schedule the technician. I will try to schedule this a little bit later. I'll keep you updated." I said, "WHAT?" I saved the chat, that confirmed the appointment. I still have not heard back. It has been months of pure b.s. -- at one point I spoke to their loyalty department and wanted a full refund because the service failed in the first 90 days while I was out of town. They said they couldn't do that, but they credited 199.00 for past months of it not working. I am so sick of this... it's been a constant headache.

    I wish I could give 0 stars, especially after having a CS manager hang up on me this morning. Since 2016, our camera has NOT worked in our home. We have placed multiple calls to get the issue fixed, been sent a new router, had several technicians come out and try two more brand new routers, and still... we are without a camera. I'm done. I'm tired of paying for a service which I believe I shouldn't have to keep trying to fix myself or continuously check to see if I can get it working again. We have made the phone calls. We have waited for technicians. We have PAID our $69.99/month for the service and the equipment. Our contract ended Jan. 30, 2018. The $69.99/month included paying for the equipment. But when our equipment was fully paid for, our bill did not decrease.

    Please explain this to me. However, I checked my bank account online Monday, as it was May 1. There were no pending payments to Vivint. I then checked my Vivint account online. There was a payment deducted for April 1 and it said the next payment was due June 1. What happened to May? I then called the CSR and spoke with Rebecca. I explained to her that since no payment had been taken from our account and no payment was pending on your end either (verified by Rebecca), then I just wanted to go ahead and cancel the service because we weren't satisfied with it and the faulty equipment. She told me that she took care of the cancellation on her end, but that I needed to send an email to documents@vivint.com with my name, address, and service number. I did it immediately and requested that the service be canceled immediately to avoid a payment being drafted from my account.

    I wanted the service canceled immediately. Then, last night, I checked my bank account and saw where the payment was taken anyway. I called this morning and spoke with another CS manager who told me that, "You need a 30-day notice to cancel!" This is absurd. If I don't want a service anymore, I shouldn't have to continue to pay, especially if I am NOT under a contract. This is theft. I did everything I had to do to avoid having to pay for another month of a service I cannot use or depend on. I told the CS manager that I was displeased and would write a review detailing my experience with Vivint. And that is when she hung up on me! Are you serious, Vivint? This was a recorded call.

    Please pull the record of it. Even your managers have poor customer service skills. I got this email address from Consumer Affairs and read through ALL of the other reviews that had the same exact issues as me with the equipment and cameras. I know I am not alone. You have a lot of unhappy customers out here spending their money for your service. Save your reputation and fix these issues. I want this issue resolved and my $69.99 returned to my account immediately. Thank you.

    I was referred to Vivint by a friend and I ended up customizing my package with them. I run a Boys Home and the service has been awful. The rep fixed it, but my system has been down for three weeks and they’ve done nothing. I called them and told the rep that I needed to know that phone calls are coming through. Unless I know they are calling and who they are, then I would not answer that phone call. I have told him that I needed my appointment set up that day and he said they were going to set it up, however I have not heard anything from him.

    The first phone call that I got when I called them was they put me off. We had it mounted on the wall, so it wouldn't be movable this time, and it still has. It’s not recording this in my office, so a burglar can break into my house and anybody can get in my house, and I would not know it. One boy could be going out running away and I wouldn’t know it. The whole reason that system was out in my house is that I run a Boys Home for high-risk boys in this UV system. It does not maintain the system for my house door. They came up the last time and put a brand-new board in, and I still got problems. I’ve been having this over a year now and I was gonna go pay it off and just get out of it. I know that nothing gets done and they need to show up in my house. I’m home seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

    They replaced the whole board because it was no good and that’s what they said. My daughter is having the same problem. And if I call my girlfriend, she might be having problems now. If I set the alarm, it would just freeze on my end and I won’t get a reading. I wanted to take it out the wall at that point. They did not call me to show up and I was there until 11:00 every morning regardless. I don’t go anywhere and there was no reason why they cannot be at my house. I told them to come over and I pay them for something. I don’t like Vivint and I’m over with this. I don't care if they fix it up.

    Vivint's features are okay. But I don’t like the delayed reaction on the doorbell ring and when my camera system would freeze that it didn’t go anywhere. As soon as I hear the doorbell on my phone and check the camera, that's when I would I know when somebody came to the door and they rang the doorbell. And they were not going to just walk away as soon as they rang the doorbell. They were going to stay there for a while. But by the time it gets to my phone, they were heading out again. So, it’s like such a long-delayed reaction and I don’t understand why.

    Also, when I wasn't at home and my mother-in-law was and she would wait until I set and turn the alarm off. What happened was, I was waiting for her to come out of the house for over an hour. I finally called the house and she told me that she already let the dogs out and they were back in. However, according to my phone, it was still locked up and I didn't see anything on the camera.

    When I first got Vivint, they were going around in our neighborhood. And I didn’t have any security at that time and I just went with them. Also, at the time when I got it, I moved from one place to another place and I wanted to stop the service at the time where I was. And they told me that I had to continue to pay for it because I was under contract. So I moved somewhere else and the service went with me. While I’m still paying it, I might as well use it.

    However, to be honest, I wouldn’t recommend Vivint. You can have a security system and not be under contract. I'm on a fixed income and I have to pay all of this for the next five years. It would be nice to get something else for a cheaper price. The ADT system is better from what I’ve heard or you should get something else from Home Depot to Lowe’s where you got cameras all over the place and you’re not under contract. And I know I wouldn’t even have to pay to get it connected if I was to get a system from somewhere else and just pay the service fee.

    If someone is in my yard or at the door and I can see them and I could scare them away or I could call 911 myself. My mother-in-law has a wristband and she could press that but I don't hear anybody on the other end asking if she is okay. We set the alarm off by mistake and opening the door, and not getting to the panel in time and there’s nobody there. I thought with an alarm system, somebody is supposed to be watching your back at all time. And I don’t feel like that’s the way it’s working.

    My husband made the decision to go with Vivint and we regret it. The salesman did his job well at their sales pitch and they customized the features, but he was pushy. We didn’t do our research and we feel it's severely overpriced. But we're under contract with them and we'll stay in our contract.

    2 men came to our door at 10 pm last night. They knocked many times. We then watched them walk across the street knocking on their door and looking in through the window. This company's just fine with their team ringing doorbells and pushing into homes any time of the day or night. No matter the price, no matter the service they are selling, I'd pay double to never use their services.

    We wanted a really good alarm company, and having seen Vivint's signs around town, we went with them. We got the door lock, three cameras including the doorbell lock camera, the keypad and sensors on every window and door. We also have the app for the phone. We live in a town that’s got a lot of problems and they were starting to get closer to us. And though nothing has happened to us, we opted for those mentioned features offered by Vivint as they make us feel safe. And so far, we've gotten very good service from them and they've been very easy to work with.

    We had one day when our system stopped working and they were able to walk me through and get it going again. And I'm not a very tech person. And then, one day, my husband accidentally set it off and they called and he talked to them over the monitor and they were real good with him too. With that, I'd tell anyone interested with Vivint to not hesitate and get it. It's definitely worth what we paid for it.

    My mom had gotten Vivint hooked up and we heard about it from her. When we first moved here my husband’s car window got broken and that was enough for us. Moreover, I have a four-year-old and we have other cars. It's good to watch so things don't go out of hand. We had two installed cameras outside and one in the doorbell.

    A Vivint salesman came door to door to our home. He was very knowledgeable and we were very happy with what he said about the product. Then, on the same night that we signed up, Vivint sent somebody out to install all the products and the installation went pretty smoothly. We've been happy with their service overall and we've been very pleased with the features offered in our package. Any time we've had an issue, Vivint has been very easy to get a hold of, very quick to answer questions and send somebody out in the rare case that has been needed. When we had issues with our panel, we called Vivint and they did a reset on the system. And a couple of times, when we accidentally tripped the alarm and didn't turn it off on time, they contacted us right away and took care of it. We have recommended Vivint to a number of people.

    Everything with Vivint's sales rep was very straightforward. No questions. We had a false alarm on the glass break sensor because my dogs bark at the pitch that sets it off whenever they get excited. It only happened once. Also, the detector for the smoke alarm also goes off of sound and we're having our floors redone at the new house and the demolition equipment was setting those off for the first couple days. It happened three times in a row and I was like, "Okay, alright. Is there any way to turn it off while we're doing construction and then I'll just call and have it turned back on again." It was no big deal.

    Vivint has been horrible. They used to come around the neighborhood a lot, knocking on doors. And a lot of my neighbors have their security system, so I decided to take advantage of the Black Friday Sale at Best Buy, yet it has been a disaster. It never worked when I needed it to work. I had a package stolen before and an issue was going on with my camera where it didn't pick up anything. It wasn't recording clips. And if I look at the logs of my call history, there are issues every month. Moreover, I would have technicians scheduled to come out and they wouldn't show up and I'd be waiting around all day, waiting for them. I would have to call several times.

    I had service with ADT from the start and it was almost the same as Vivint’s, but we didn’t have cameras with ADT and we needed cameras, so I felt like Vivint set an awesome deal on the package. My favorite feature is the inside panel where you can access your camera from. When we had first gotten the system, we were having problems with it. The tech that came out was not great and didn't install it correctly. He wasn't very thorough in explaining things as well. And we had hard time getting the technician come out. We had to call four different times. The customer service was horrible. The first three wasn't very friendly or helpful at all. But the lady I talked to on the 4th call was really great and helped me. Since they came back out and took care of the problem, it has been great. It's a great service to have if you can get the equipment installed correctly. But make sure to get a good technician out who would thoroughly explain the system.

    We purchased a home security system as new homeowners. We have been having issues with our cameras not working. Our control panel not working. Sensors not working. You name it. We are not sure when, but we noticed last Saturday, April 21, 2018 that someone had cut the screen in front our house. When we went to look at the camera footage our cameras did not record anything because the cameras were down. The cameras were not recording anything. We have had several issues with the cameras not working or going offline. We have called Vivint several times to make them aware of the situation and while they fix the problem initially it does not stay fixed. Last night we called them because our doorbell camera that was installed the day before went offline and was not working. That was fixed and today we have the same problem on top of a camera going offline. I am paying for a service that does not work half of the time or not at all.

    We purchased a "Space Monkey" that will store 30 days of videos and now that is not working. The customer service operators that answer the calls are not helpful and are easily frustrated. To top that off equipment failing routinely Vivint has done nothing to remedy the situation. I have had my cameras replaced the control panel replaced. There is nothing left to replace. I am paying for a service that doesn't work like it's supposed to. It's not a bad system when it works, but we still pay for a service even if it doesn't work. To me that seems unfair. As a customer who wants to pay for a service you the company you are paying can't provide the service. We are constantly checking the system to make sure that it's working. I shouldn't have to check my system daily just to make sure that it's working. I should be able to depend on the service.

    In the beginning, Vivint's service was not so great. My front doorbell camera would not record. The only time it would record was if someone touched the button. So if I had a package delivery it would not notify. My backdoor camera, nevertheless, works almost 100%. There were software upgrades that were problematic. It took us 60-75 days for the system to show that it really worked. It was frustrating. But after the outside service company came and explained the situation, over time, everything worked properly. The technical side with Vivint needs a little work.

    Nonetheless, I've had extremely great interaction with the sales. The gentleman I was dealing with was Mark and he was very upfront and very honest. I highly recommend the sales guy. He was very supportive during the time frame that it was not working, we were in the 30-day trial. Also, he made sure that it got extended out to our satisfaction until the system worked properly.

I had to stop taking money out of my account because they would pull more money out of my account and then it would take me longer to get it back.

    My brother had this service before and he never had issues at all. But my experience has been a little rougher. The installation was fine and each technician that came out was very informative.

    I wanted cameras and was looking at the kind that I can hook up myself but they were complicated. I had gone to a different Best Buy and could not get the information I needed. When I went to the Best Buy in Danbury the guy there was fabulous and explained to me the options in which case I chose Vivint. I bought the system at Best Buy but they were Vivint employees and they were great. There were a few little points of confusion but they were really good. They really explained the products. It was a bit challenging to get Vivint on the phone even when the installers where at the house. The first installer was new and he made some mistakes. The system stopped working just a few days later so they came and corrected it really quickly.

    Also I got overcharged for something and I never was able to resolve it. I went through everything once and they said they were gonna issue a credit but I have never seen a credit on my Best Buy credit card. They owe me some money but I don’t have the time to fight over it. But I'm pretty satisfied with the service. I have two doorbell cameras, two cameras, and a motion sensor. I love the camera system. It's easy to use and I can see everything on my phone. It does exactly what I needed and the best feature is I can talk to someone who's ringing my doorbell if I’m not home. That’s amazing because my mailman was trying to deliver something and I was able to tell him what do with it.

    There were a couple of different options from Vivint and I got the door sensors, motion sensor and the electronic deadbolt with several controls. The guy who did the actual sales while I was waiting for the guy doing the install to finish, sat and talked to me about video games. They were very personable people and they were fine to work with. But Vivint cost very high compared to some others who were available. It just wasn't worth it for me. I would tell a friend to go to someone else.

    We were at Best Buy when I saw Vivint's system. I really enjoyed the cool things that they had. We had another security thing but it took two apps to manage then, but with Vivint, they have everything at your disposal. But we left it because we had to pay everything up front. Then, a couple of months later, a sales rep came knocking on our door and we were able to do installment payments for 0% interest rate. We then got the smart lights and cameras and they're all outstanding. The only downside to the smart lights are the switches. They don't push against the wall, so there's a gap between your appliances and the wall. The installer himself was very professional but he left a big mess behind that we had to clean up as far as sheetrock, which he had to drill through, and cables. But I ended up recommending Vivint to my sister too, and now they also have Vivint in their home.

    We travel a lot and the home stays unattended for a few days. So we were contemplating on getting a security system and it just so happened that on that particular day, there was someone from Vivint canvassing the area. That person knocked on our door and began to speak about their system, and I wanted to listen to what he had to say since I wanted to see what they offered. When I saw it, it seemed to be what we were looking for and so we got it.

    The experience with their team was not as gratifying as I wanted it to be because when they came over, they wanted to set up the equipment on that same time and day. I wouldn't have had a problem with that if it wasn't because of the fact that it was so late and I had a commitment that I had to attend next door. I found it very uncomfortable to have to be there and be here at the same time back and forth. They started late and they ended up finishing at 12 midnight. That crew had to drive three hours to go back home from Fort Myers to Miami.

    When they made the installation, we were all tired. So, I wasn't observing what they were actually doing and there were a few things that were not done properly. They didn't put a sensor in one of my rooms, and they installed one sensor incorrectly. If I opened the door, the sensor wouldn't go off because it was set up on the side of the door that doesn't open up. And in the bathroom door, they put a sensor that once I immediately opened the door, it flew open.

    This all happened was because they were tired and it was late. They were working all night and they pushed this thing to be done on the same day, which was an inconvenience to me and difficult to them because they could have waited the following day and everything would have been done properly and they wouldn't have had to come. They decided to press on and when they do that, they're doing things in rush mode, something's bound to go wrong and something did go wrong. But other than that, my experience was fine.

    I tried to get a hold of the initial person that actually sold us the product after notifying their crew, and I got messages from his phone that he was not in service. 3 days lapsed and I couldn't get a hold of them. They installed it on a Friday, so Saturday and Sunday, we were shut and there was nothing I could do. Monday was when I decided to call and inform the company and that's when they went ahead and sent someone out here and took care of it. I had another issue with the camera that went down and wouldn't remove. I called again and they came by and we set up the Wi-Fi on it and distributed the frequency so it would be picked up, and everything went smoothly. Overall, the function of Vivint's system is fine and our experience with them so far has been good. It has been pretty consistent that if I have an issue, they'll get back to me right away.

    Friday April 27, 2018. The customer services I have received so far has been the worst ever and I am furious about the way I have been treated. Let's start with the original installation – the installer was not able to complete the installation due to implement weather. However, that did not stop him from collecting payment for the both the service equipment a few days later via my credit card. He never left any paper work nor was there any information about the true cost involved. I signed onto his mobile device confirming that the work was done – as much as could be done at this time. Not once was a disclosure about the cost. The second tech arrives during the time when your computer systems are down… With this, he is unprepared to do any work. This was a big waste of time, effort and money – I had to have a friend leave work to accommodate the visit since I was not able to do so.

    The third tech arrives just past 1 pm and finally completes the job as 8 pm… This was clearly not a one man job. Luckily, I did not have somewhere else to be because I would not have made it. He was very nice, thorough and professional, though. He explained that there was no doorbell (not a camera doorbell) included on the work order to work with my second door that faces the front. Although, I was told there would be by the first install tech, and by three other reps via phone. I had since learned that you have discontinued this offer. My frustration is that I feel like I have been tricked into doing business with you. I have been promised free this, and other offerings that don’t exist and was told that I would be able to make payments for my service and equipment. I feel like I am at the mercy of whoever picks up the phone. I even asked to speak w/ a manager twice - that never happened, either.

    I never signed up for an equipment bill for over $2,000 with auto draft payments – but was later told that it was not an option not to have auto draft payments. I am filing a formal complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). Your business practices are misleading and unfair. It is my legal right to be given all the information about your services up front so I can decided if what you are offering is for best for me. Not learn of true nature of everything on the backside.

    My sister was a Vivint customer and I've now been with them as well for about three years, but I haven't been thrilled by the service. The technology platform that they're on and what they say they can do isn't what they actually can do. The app doesn't always work and they had issues with Comcast where they changed something about one of the ports, and then all of a sudden, the Wi-Fi wasn't talking to the panel properly. And ultimately, that became my problem because it didn't work right, instead of it being them taking care of it and fixing it. Similarly, even when it got installed, I got told one thing by the salesperson, and when the technician showed up to install it, I found out the price was much, much higher. And the technician straightly said that this happens a lot. The salespeople will tell customers whatever they wanna hear to get it done.

    And though the technicians have always been really nice, on time and get the job done as well as they can, the cost of the service is way too high. If I wasn't in a five-year contract, I'd be done. They're charging $70 a month, and realistically, I can go to Comcast or any of the other providers and get the same service done for $40 a month. Vivint had this edge where, when I signed up with them, they were one of the only ones doing real home automation; like putting on the ability to unlock or lock the door from my phone and linking my service right in to the thermostat and the likes. But now that any of the providers can do that, Vivint's not really providing any luxury benefits to justify a $70 cost. Thus, I'd tell anyone thinking about going with them not to do it.

    Our Vivint system includes the sensors on the windows and the three doors. And then we had an outside camera. We were happy with them. Then we had some issues with the security system connecting to our Wi-Fi. When I called Vivint for that problem, they were saying that with the appointment they would be charging us 60 bucks for a technician to come out. I told them that we should not pay the fee when I do not even know if it was working or disconnected the whole time. They waive the fee which was cool.

    And that was my only complaint. Down the road, I don’t want to pay 60 bucks if my camera starts malfunctioning and we didn't do anything to tamper with it. If it was something that we replaced and the system got messed up, then that was on us. But if it was something on Vivint's end then I don't know why we should be held responsible for it. And we had a guy come out to look at it. He was really professional and he did a great job. I could get the security system to connect to that Wi-Fi. Vivint gave us a router.

    We had someone come out from ADT and we had decided to purchase a security service from them. We gave them a check to pay for our installation fee but a month went by and no one came out to provide the service. Another month went by, and we've called and they had no record of us paying. Then the guy from Vivint came by and we decided to go with them instead and we signed up for our service in 2011 around October. I told the Vivint rep that we weren't in the position at that time to make a downpayment on the service because we were getting ready to get married and we were doing a destination wedding. And the rep said he could make my service where I wouldn't have to make my first payment. We'd be doing either 60 or 90 days and I said that if he could start it after the December timeframe, that would be great because we would have come back from Jamaica and by January, we'd be ready to make our first payment.

    He said he'd make our first payment and then he made the other payments 60 days after that. But then Vivint charged me because the rep did not have this discussion with them and Vivint did not know that he probably gave me a personal check and the check bounced. So I had to call and get back with my bank and then call Vivint and then had them honor what I was told by their salesman. Fast forward this year, it really kinda bothers me because Vivint doesn't call on a regular basis. If we've had service from 2011 until 2018, then we're honest and loyal customers. Yet no one ever called to say that they have upgrades or offers and I have to see my neighbors have a new system. I wanted the new upgrade and I talked to a Vivint rep on the phone and paid $175. They told me that if I pay that much for the upgrade, my bill would not change.

    The first month of getting my upgrade, my bill was $60 and my bill was normally $49.99. And this month, April, my bill was the normal price. So I'm confused because now I don't know what my bill is going to be. I'm tired of the runaround with Vivint when it comes to payments and honoring what was being told. The installation guy was great. He was in the neighborhood and asked if he could come a few hours early so that we wouldn't have to wait that six-hour block. He installed everything and explained everything to us. He gave us his card and told us to call if we had any questions on any part of the service. As far as the installation process, every time, Vivint has been great and I'm happy with my service. But I would tell my friends to be very careful about what was promised to them at the time of the sales or over the phone because I've had two instances where they were promising me with a gift.

    The installation team from Vivint was good. They were professional and courteous. But they had some issues with the door, so they had to come back several times to get a few people that understood the entire setup. It took some time but that was the only hiccup within the process. Vivint's features are fine and the cameras are very useful. What was interesting is that I had a ring at the doorbell with somebody that was coming to drop something off. And I was able to use the intercom through my phone which was a very cool feature for them to wait until I arrived. The feature that we have is good and it serves its purpose.

    This whole security thing is new to us. Within an hour after installation, I somehow managed to trigger the alarm when I didn't think it was even armed! Although the technician showed me how to operate the controls, it would have been especially nice to have a more detailed operator's manual. Your website was not even helpful!

    Thanks for your vote!

    The person who installed our system is very knowledgeable, but the Sales person is a different story, did not explain well. They charge $547 for the Panel, you can buy it new on Ebay for $100-150. Overpriced Equipment, I only had the system for 1 day. So far so good.
