Had the system installed in 2013 and since the first day we had issues. First was a cracked door from the installer putting in the bolt lock. Reported it but they never fixed it. Now 3 years later they say they won't fix it. Not happy. Next was the thermostat was installed wrong and was shorting out. Reported that as well. No tech ever came to fix it and eventually the short fried the thermostat completely and led to the furnace fan being shorted out. Had to call an outside furnace guy to come in and fix the furnace and installed a new thermostat that was not a Vivint one. Several other issues happened. Seized locks, broken sensors and more. It is one of the worst services I've ever had.
Kristoph, that would certainly be frustrating. If you contact us at socialcs@vivint.com about these issues, we'll gladly review your account. Thanks!

I have Vivint's security system for about four years now, and I'm fairly satisfied with everything and the ease of access. The installation team did a good job. Everything is fine, and I haven't had any issues, so I've recommended Vivint to my neighbors.

I was looking for a home alarm system and looked up on which ones were the best security system for a home. Vivint came up at number 5. I called them, but they wanted me to do the installation all by myself. They were just going to send me the kit and I'm like, "I'm not doing it by myself. I had to incorporate it with the one I have." I was going to call a different one but I liked Vivint because they had the doorbell alarm that notifies you. That's the reason why I called them from the get-go. The home service is good so far and I'm satisfied with it. I haven't had any issues calling anybody to come out or when the alarm is going off. I feel secure with it at home. If I have an issue, I know I can just push the button and somebody will answer.
The guy that came out at first, that was his first installation. He was here from eight o'clock in the morning to almost two o'clock in the morning. It took him all day to install it. He was having all kinds of issues, so that wasn't good. Then when they first put the monitor in, where it says the weather part, it was supposed to be in color but it's showing all black. I've called Vivint and talked to the guy about it. They tried to reset it but it's still the same. Also, the cameras weren't working well and there is a little problem with the doorbell where they can't hear me. They came out to fix it, but it still hasn't been resolved. I just gave up on that as far as having anybody come out as I'm always busy.
Vivint also quoted me a different price. It was supposed to be $60 and with everything now, it's $76. I called and talked to somebody with Billing last month and nobody ever got back with me. Their rep said that he was going to call my sales associate to call me about it and they never did. I recommended Vivint to my brother, then he figured out all the issues I was having so he canceled it and went with another company. I wished we did a little bit more research. We would have gone with somebody else at this time.

I'm not happy with the entire Vivint experience. So I canceled it. The cameras never worked, thermostat didn't work and it's taken two weeks to get my money back!!! I've done everything that Vivint requires for a refund. I was told 2 days it's been 5 days. I want my money back! I'm tired of waiting for my money and I'm tired of dealing with you.

I love my Vivint product. The biggest feature that I love most is the doorbell camera video/audio. That's the greatest thing ever. I feel very secure with it. The sales rep was Matthew and he is with AV Guys, while the technician was Zachary and he did the install. They worked together and they both showed me step by step so that I could understand it on my level. Zach worked really hard and was outstanding. He worked fast and didn't drag around and kill the clock. He was very efficient and explained every little thing to me that I asked him. The only tough thing is that I pay $66 a month and I would love to see the monthly dues get down on the $50 range. But I'm very pleased with the product. Overall, my experience was great all the way across the board. I promote them online because I believe in promoting good products and good service.

So this is my first alarm system. Heard from them through friends and watched Undercover Boss. Lol. The people on phone answered all my questions. I called next day with more questions they answered and I then booked appointment. They made me a package that was exactly what I wanted plus more. They gave me friendly reminders about my install date. The installer was amazing and was careful in the house. He cleaned up his mess and made sure everything was working great. I am so happy with what they offer and all the technology that they have - also their amazing lifetime warranty. They are more expensive vs others but you get way more stuff and you can't put a price on your family's safety. Overall very impressed and would recommend them to friends and family.

I felt this is one way I can spread the word out there given the company will not listen... DO NOT GET VIVINT HOME SECURITY!! I have been with them now for 11 months and have been unhappy with them for 11 months. Can't get out of the agreement for another THREE YEARS which would cost me over $3,000. I chose them for the advanced technology that they offered.
I got the protect and control package that allowed me to pick 2 advanced options. I wanted the doorbell camera and outdoor camera given we live in the country. They installed the doorbell camera after one month but was told that the outdoor cameras were on backorder. I was then told 4 additional times when I called back over 5 months that they were still on backorder... all while paying for the 2 cameras. After speaking with multiple customer service reps, managers, and spending hours on the phone, I still don't have an outdoor camera, which is the main reason I went with them. Bottom line: Very expensive, Horrible customer service & they straight up LIE to get your business.

This is my second time of being with Vivint, but I cannot say that I was ever disappointed with them not being timely and letting me know what was going on. Their reps are cordial. I have made them angry at times, yet they remained calm. I don’t have anything against them notifying me, but now my problems are physical such as vision. If they told me they emailed me, that might be a possibility because now I cannot read the computer. Yet they have answered any time I might have a problem with the system and they're very good. I'm satisfied with all of that, except I don’t like their billing and the fact that I don't understand the contract. Also, every time you call, you get a different person to talk to and I didn’t like that. But I like the service I get now.

The people that installed our Vivint system were very pushy. Their sales rep basically introduced the system to us and before we had a chance to digest what was happening, there were two individuals coming and drilling holes in our walls to get it installed at ten o'clock at night the same day their salesman did his pitch. I would like to have a little more time to think about it. We were trying to get the kids to bed then and they're doing the install right then and there. Also, I have no proof but I find it highly suspicious that about a week prior to them showing up, my car was rummaged through and that's never happened before. But so far, I'm satisfied with their service.

Arriving at home this week the panel was beeping six beeps every minute, announcing my fob (or panel) battery was low which I had changed six weeks ago. A call to the main office turned off the system and I replaced the fob battery, but then was unable to reactivate. Busy lady that I am, I felt it was worth calling our local representative, Chris, who was here on a call some time ago. He suggested the main number was the method to use, and the main office rep was very courteous and set me up with an appointment for the next morning. All is well. The system is reactivated, and I only had to make two phone calls to resolve the problem. I am very pleased with the service, although I don't know why the panel told me I had to replace the fob battery. I know it will work now in any case, and it was not an expensive battery to replace. I could have called the main office and asked that question, which might have resulted in an even speedier repair.

We spend our winters in Florida so we were interested in a security system. Some of our friends subscribed to Vivint and referred us. The installation was very neatly done. We had the motion detector and glass breakage features set up. We were also amazed at how quickly they installed the system and put the security things right in the door frame. We particularly enjoy having the system with the thermostat so that we can control the temperature in our absence through the icon on my phone because we're in Florida three or four months out of the year. We needed to keep track of how things are going in the house and that I can have peace of mind and look at my icon and know the temperature in the house. That's pretty wonderful.
We made one mistake and it went off when we didn’t intend for it to and we had a couple of township police officers come to the house. They do that once for free and after that they charge. We learned from experience what not to do. In addition, we had a power outage and got notified of that. That was really good to know in the middle of winter, so I contacted the neighbor to find out if it was still out. It was out a few hours and that can be crucial so the security system was very good to have. I did recommend our daughter in Chicago to try Vivint. She dropped ADT and signed up with Vivint.

I had Protection 1 and didn't really like them, but couldn't get out of the contract. I have three big plate windows in my living room, and I never really knew for sure if they were on the alarm system. The Vivint representative who came by the house told me they have a product that can pick up shattered window as well as a doorbell and door lock. They told me the price and also that they were going to give me a check for $500 to send to Protection 1 to get out of my contract with them. I did it and so I now have Vivint.
The installers were really cooperative. They told me to run through the system and afterwards asked if I was comfortable or if I want them to go over a couple more items. I love the doorbell. I've been gone and I get this little ding on my phone when somebody is here. A lot of times, they're gone by the time I get to it because they only ring it once. Still, I have a picture of who has been at my front door and I really like that. However, when somebody rings the doorbell, I can see them on my keypad but can't talk to them. They must have the technology so that I can do this and don't have to open the door to talk to somebody outside ringing the doorbell. Their customer service people told me that they have a lot of people inquiring about that and they're looking into it. I am very pleased with the customer service as well as the company, and have recommended it to many people.

I took over the account from the previous owner of my new house. When a (very nice, patient) tech came to activate my system, we had to call the company a few times and each time their own tech got put on hold for 50 minutes or more - and sometimes then transferred. It took THREE HOURS to get me activated, when all equipment was already installed in the house. At the end of that, with my patience tried, I was told for the first time that the high price I'd been quoted was good only with a five-year contract!
When I said I would commit only to two years with this terrible customer service, the poor tech told me he'd have to call the company, at which point I gave up and said I was cancelling. I was out of time so I asked the tech to have someone call me to come back and remove the equipment. No one called. Over the next couple of weeks I called a few times - getting put on hold each time - and spoke to someone who wanted to transfer me but I refused to wait anymore and asked again for someone to call me. No one called.
I finally just emailed someone there to say, "The ball is in your court. I didn't sign the contract, so you can't bill me. Call me when you want your stuff back." To this, I got a response saying I would have to call their "award-winning customer care" to cancel and to please see the attached cancellation policy. And that they are only an incoming call center so that's why no one had called! As I write this I've been on hold for 19 minutes and no one in the "cancellation" department has come on the line yet! I've rarely seen such an incompetent customer service system - even for their own techs!
Debbie, we definitely understand your frustration. Our Customer Loyalty team is our only team that works with cancellations which is why you were instructed to contact them. They are available 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM MST Monday – Friday, and 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM MST on Saturday so if you are experiencing high wait times you can try calling at a different time.

I like Vivint and it lets you know what doors or windows are open. It has a lot of features, but it doesn’t give you that real home security feeling. If the window is broken and a door is not jarred, it should have triggered the alarm. I don’t have the window sensors, but I tried it myself and it doesn’t work on a broken glass. It won't protect you, so that’s not really secured. But if you open a window or a door, you'd break the contact.
I know people are spying their way around things and they make so many gadgets now. You think you’re 100% secured, but other people got more knowledge than you have to disarm your system. I had a couple of times that my garage system had been opened by other people and I wasn’t aware of that until it happened. I came home and my door was open and it shut my alarm system down before they could control it all by themselves, and I couldn’t do anything with it.
Vivint should figure out some way to put something on the window as it shatters or breaks so that the people that are looking at it doesn’t realize that I know that there are other ways to get in to any place. Most of the time I’m home alone and I would like to feel more comfortable, and a shatter feature would be a little comfort for me because it's a vibration thing.
Ulus, thank you for your feedback! We do offer glass break detectors, they will pick up the frequencies of breaking glass and set off your alarm.

We got the doorbells, camera, garage door opener, and the front door lock from Vivint. The sales rep explained everything to us and showed us how to use it all. The only thing that I was a little bit disappointed at is that I was hoping I was going to be able to connect my cameras to the actual system itself, and I was not able to. So now I'm paying for my security system for my home separately from my cameras. I emailed customer service and haven't had a response back, and that was about three months ago.

We got a camera from Vivint, along with the touchscreen panel on the wall, where you can open and unlock/lock your doors, and open your garage door. The sales reps explained it pretty well. The guy who originally came by to install took his time. I, myself, had to get the door to work right because the installers didn't put the plate in correctly. Everything didn't line up right on the front door. We tried to automatically lock the door with the code and had to lift the doorknob to get it to lock.
Also, the camera that we ordered was supposed to be in within a month and we wound up getting it at least four months later, although I had already paid for it. The reps told me that they didn't have the thing yet and I'd get it as soon as it came in. But nobody ever came by or mentioned that the camera had come in until I called to complain about it, and then magically it was in. We had to call them or we probably never would've gotten the camera.
We've had two or three times where we had issues with our security system and had to reset everything. But our stuff, for the most part, has worked. However, my major complaint is the ridiculous amount of money they want you to pay ($3500) to get out of your contract with them, even if you're moving due to your job. Our neighbors across the street had a hard time with them and wound up paying them back to get out of their contract because they could never get their stuff to work right. Vivint is not very reliable.

Do not use this company's product or service. Was told all devices would work in my home. NOT!! After they knocked a hole in my wall to install their Skypad controller, the digital thermostat was not compatible. One of the main reasons for the purchase of the system. The installer was not knowledgeable on the install. All he knew how to do was drill holes. He shorted out my wifi system and really screwed up my heating/cooling system. He started work at around 4:00 pm and left at 11:30 pm and the wifi was down and my heating/cooling system was not working, plus the entire alarm system did not work.
I stayed up until 3:30 am the next morning working on the cooling system to get it working again. Went to bed and got up at 5:00 am to get the wifi going again after another 2 hours work on it. Had to have the wifi working so the so called alarm system would work. Called customer service to report and they just brushed me off saying that I pretty much had it fixed, so what is my problem. Stay away from them. They pretty much wrecked my home and told me tough ** on my complaint.

The control panel went out when they made some change in the service. It locked mine so I was without service for a couple of days because they had to get something before they could get it fixed. And then I received a credit on my bill the next month. Their reps took care of everything. They made sure I understand what was going on. We tried a manual reset first before we had to put in the call for a serviceman to come out. He knew what it was going to be. But I think there was something he didn’t have and he waited for several days but then it was fine. The installer showed me what he was doing and what he was going to do and went over the system again with me. We tested it and made sure everything worked like it was supposed to.
The system is really easy to use, to set, to change the volume, to make any changes needed on it and I know that it worked. It called the sheriff one time however, they did not have my cellphone number on and so they called my landline phone and it was turned over because the alarm went off and I wasn’t quick enough to stop it from being called in. So I know how quickly they responded. They came to my door and I had to tell them it was my fault it went off. I also didn’t realize that they didn’t have the right number to call me but I took care of that and gave them the correct number because they only had my landline.

Vivint accommodated us for our troubles that the technician left us with. The customer service has been top flight to this point. All in all, we're satisfied with the product. It was worth it. We wanted to add a few more features but we're hesitant with the installation charge that they wanted to give us. We don't feel we have to pay the installation fees every time we want to upgrade the services. I think it's absurd.

I can't believe I fell for a door to door salesman. They said we were a "test" neighborhood so that for $99/mo we would receive free home security products and just pay the monthly fee for monitoring. They said it's a limited time offer and we had to take them up on it while they were in our neighborhood, that the offer would not be given to other people ("So don't tell your neighbors about the price we are giving you") and that next month the price would be the cost of materials, installation and $150 per month for everyone else. He stated that we had until Monday at Midnight to cancel -- 3 business days plus the weekend -- so we went for it. He ALSO told us to lie to the company during the phone consult and state that he had a name tag on, which he didn't. (Red flags galore.)
Immediately, problems began. The thermostat that we wanted couldn't be installed, the back camera ate up our internet speed, and the front camera was worthless unless someone was two inches from the door. The rest of the stuff they installed was super basic plastic door/window monitors. What seemed like a great idea and bargain quickly turned sour. Even the salesperson straight up lied, saying we would be able to turn our oven on remotely, which was not possible in the least! Error codes popped up within the first 24 hours with the security features & the installation of everything took two days.
Feeling buyer's remorse upon waking the day after they sold us and immediately installed products from 7PM-11PM on a Thursday night, I went to FedEx, paid $20 and sent our cancellation notice to Utah. They still came out Friday to fix the back camera, despite clearly stating we cancelled. It was like they knew ahead of time that no one REALLY cancels.
Fast forward to Monday, the day we had to cancel by midnight given the three day rescission -- they received my cancellation at 8AM per my FedEx confirmation. I had my husband also email them at 5PM with the photo of the cancellation document and mention that they had received the paper version via FedEx. On Tuesday, they emailed us stating that the cancellation was received that day -- Tuesday, day 4 of the contract. TOTAL GARBAGE. My husband had to call and fight with them to cancel, which they flat out refused to do offering a discount instead. The most they offered was a $5/mo discount, which is still ridiculously overpriced for the services they offer.
DO NOT GET SWEPT UP IN THEIR SALES PITCH. This is a shady company and it is very difficult to cancel. Even mailing in the cancellation less than 12 hours after signing A contract was disputed. They still fought us on the matter. Hilariously enough, the sales guy mistakenly wrote July 27th instead of June 27th, so it was clearly received in time. (Plus the FedEx receipt AND email time stamp.. But those facts didn't matter to them.)
The company is a joke, the installers were a bunch of young kids who were friendly but obviously uninformed of the services the company provides, and I am appalled at myself for falling for them in the first place. Now we are out about six hours of installation time, $20, 1 hour in fighting on the phone, and over five days of anxiety riddled sleep. PLUS there are no less than eight holes to be spackled and repainted in our home after they drilled everything in. Do your research and do not allow them to install the day they come to your door. Buyer be warned!

We switched the security system at the house to Vivint and I was real happy with it. They were offering things at home that we hadn't had before. I paid off our contract with Monitronics with $732.01 and I don't know where we go from here. We wouldn't have done if Vivint have a concern about the contract being paid off but we were told that if we switch that they would buy up the contract. I thought there was no problem but ever since we did that, it's just been a headache. Everything else has been wonderful except of this misunderstanding about them covering the rest of the contract with Monitronics.
I talked to so many people and we sent the contract to Vivint and told them how much I paid to buy that contract with Monitronics and we haven't heard a word. I don't know where we stand right now with them. Everything was great except that rep that I talked to who was cranky about the whole thing and wasn't cooperative with us being a new customer. My husband checked with them to make sure they got the contract that we sent. That rep said that she hadn't had the time to look over it yet for them to reimburse us for paying. We have wonderful credit and that was the reason I went ahead and paid off Monitronics because they kept calling about it and they were saying we weren't paying and that we had discontinued the service.
It has kind of spoiled having the rest of what we really like. If they can't do what they told us they would do, that nullifies the contract with Vivint. It has left a bad taste in our mouth. We certainly have appreciated everything, the camera and the doorbell etc. including the fact that they called immediately after I accidentally set off the alarm. There's been no problem. So overall, it has been a frustrating experience.

I got the security system and two motion detector cameras from Vivint. During installation, the guy who came here was nice, friendly, pretty clean, and professional. He had little booties to put on and cleaned up all the mess. Then he just had to drill one little hole to mount out the system. I've had the system for a few years now, and every time I've had an issue, I was able to get a hold of somebody, and they sent a tech out right away to fix what the problem was.
The fire, freeze, and smoke detector probably saved my house from freezing one night. My heater quit working and I was working out of town so I wouldn't have been home for a couple more weeks. If I didn't have the system, I wouldn't have known it was messed up, so it probably saved me a lot of money. I've told quite a few people about it. The only downside is having to have Wi-Fi because a lot of people don't have it for some reason. I didn't have internet, so it was just another add-on as far as the bill goes. If there was some way the Wi-Fi cameras could do the work without Wi-Fi, that would be cool.

This issue has been resolved.
Original Review: June 30, 2016
And I have been a Vivint customer since 2011. I have recently learned that since then, my monthly payments to your company have been credited to an incorrect account number. When the issue first arose a couple of years ago, it went unresolved and resulted in my service being interrupted. Somehow my husband was able to have the service restored; I am not sure if he paid the balance or how he made it happen. We have paid via our Bank of America bill pay from the very beginning and the payments were made on time every month and withheld from our bank account. About a month ago, I get a collections letter in the mail stating that the account is past due $205.00, after having made on time payments every month for more than the amount due.
After calling, being transferred numerous times to no avail, I contacted my bank and they contacted Vivint to set up a conference call. It was during this call that I learned thanks to my bank that the payments were being applied to the wrong account and your rep was able to see the account that the payments were being applied to and admitted fault with a promise to get the matter resolved. Nevertheless, an entire month later, I am receiving collections calls and emails threatening to take action if the account is not brought current, mind you, it was the Vivint rep that asked me not to make any additional payments until the matter is resolved and I followed those instructions. At this point I am beyond being extremely unhappy and disappointed with this process and I am asking you to assist in any way that you can. I have retained an attorney; however, I am attempting once more to get the matter resolved.

My experience with the product itself has been neutral but it is instead my experience dealing with the company that dictates my review. Through the 2 weeks or so that I have been in contact with Vivint, I realize that the company cares absolutely nothing about the customer and exists purely because people get sold long-term contracts door to door or through other forceful/predatory tactics. It started innocently enough. As a new home owner and new parent I was willing to try their service out. During the installation the tech drilled a thumb sized hole through my exterior siding from the inside of the house. I was told someone would be in contact with me. The first contact Vivint made to me is about my negative response to an automated email asking for "my feedback on my recent service visit". After which I started a claims process with them...
I was told to submit a quote. I received one to repair the damage close to the condition prior to the install... When I submitted the cost to Vivint, I was contacted and offered about HALF the value of the repair. Also adding insult to injury was a clause included with the settlement that I have to "Take it and be quiet," and remove any negative reviews (which I had made none of at that point). The only explanation I was given for the level of compensation offered was that my damage was cosmetic (seriously??) and the cost to repair (fill the hole in my siding with silicone) was cheaper and that they wouldn't cover the cost to fix the problem like I had got quoted. I tried to negotiate a less insulting offer and was told my only further option was seek legal advice.
It just seems ridiculous that for a few hundred dollars, a large company like Vivint can't offer more than a half-ass repair as the only level of compensation to homeowners who have been wronged, but have no problem locking them into several thousand dollar contractual obligations. It sadly seems this company cares more about bad reviews and publicity than making things right for their customers. My recommendation to ALL people is to avoid dealing with Vivint as the level of customer care is brutal and the company will NOT act in your best interests, in spite of the sales pitch.

I received a visit on this past Saturday morning (25 June 2016) from a young man named Jacob who was in my neighborhood, and noticed that I did not have a security sign posted, like many of my neighbors did. He introduced himself very politely, and asked if I had ever heard of a Smart Home system. I told him that I had heard of similar systems advertised on TV and radio, and that my wife and I had talked about checking into one for our home. Jacob was very knowledgeable on the subject, and had some additional information, along with a short video that was very informative. I invited Jacob in to talk about the Smart Home system, and I liked what I heard.
I won't go into specifics on the package I was interested in, but suffice it to say, I was very pleasantly surprised at the amount of equipment and service I was offered for very little out of my pocket. I was very interested, but short on time, as I had guests on the way, and was leaving a few days later for vacation. To my delight, Jacob made a quick phone call, and Tyler (the installer) showed up ready to work. Tyler had my system installed and running within two hours, and had already showed my wife and I how to use it. He helped us set it up on our phones, touch panel, and iPads. We got the voice activated system with Alexa (through Amazon), and we were controlling lights, the radio, the thermostat, and the security system before our guests arrived. We have been very impressed with the system so far, and will give it its first real long distance test this week. Thanks Vivint for helping us join the Smart Home family!

We had problems with the transformer since it kept blowing every time we plugged it in. We went through about four transformers and eventually got one that worked. We got reimbursed for the ones that were blown so we got a credit on our account, which is good. Currently, we’re having problems with our doorbell camera and we've already had several interactions with the customer service team about this.

Our daughter snuck out and we wanted to keep her inside the house so we got the system. I asked people at work what security provider they use. I have coworkers and friends who use Vivint and I had been to their house and noticed their systems. So we got camera in our living room and a doorbell camera. The sales rep and everybody on the phone was super nice and detail oriented. I really liked that. The only thing that bothered me was that they somehow magically enrolled me in an automatic draft situation and I wasn’t receiving a paper bill. It was automatically drafting out of my account, which I didn’t really want. I would rather be in control of that and pay it myself. It doesn’t mean that I want to kill a tree and get a piece of paper in the mail. So I got that fixed after the first month of it withdrawing.
The guy who came to our house wanted to chat a lot and he didn’t give us the Vivint sign that goes in the front. He could’ve used his time a little bit better. He sat down on the couch and talked to me for 20 minutes. We're just talking about our families and that’s cool, but he’s a stranger and it was a little bit awkward since he sat down. I was like, “Okay, this is cool. I’m not trying to be rude, but finish doing your job.” We didn’t get the Vivint sign until we had to have somebody come actually back out to the house because our system wasn’t updating on its own.
We've had a couple of hiccups here and there, but I think it maybe more of our wifi’s fault rather than theirs. One of my favorite features is when it tells me that the electricity goes out of my house, that’s really nice to know because we have a big freezer and before we had the system, I lost $400 worth of meat because of it. So now it tells me and we leave 10 minutes from work so I just run home. I really like that feature and I recommend them to people all the time.

We subscribed to the premium service and it has exceeded our expectations so far. The sales rep Jonathan was very professional and visited and contacted us after installation to make sure we are satisfied with the service. He answered all our questions regarding the terms of service about reviews we found in the Internet. The technician Taylor was very professional as well. He said it usually takes about 3 hours to install our system but he spent way more than that making sure that our system works and won't fail. He took time to explain to us how the system works and how to adjust it to our convenience. He is very polite and very helpful. We only have the system for 3 days, and it’s working great so far. We are very happy that we can view our house and control stuff while we are at work. We used the ping camera to view and talk to our pets when we get free time at work.

I own a Home Health Care business and I was extremely pleased to learn that I could buy a pendant similar to LifeAlert for a one time fee of $60. This is a bargain as the separate systems cost at least $32 a month with a six month minimum. I have so much peace of mind with that pendant and the camera which will have two way communication with the next software update. This is huge if you have your parents living at home with you or you want to monitor them from afar. Another huge aspect is that you can program the system to chime if a door opens... That's really handy for people living with a loved one with Alzheimer's or Dementia. There are several clients that I am going to what this system with.

We had another security system but we liked what Vivint had to offer at that time when the salesman came in. We got the doorbell camera a while back but I had a little trouble with it. It kept losing sync with the panel. I finally got the panel upgraded, then they said I needed stronger internet, so I got that as well. It's been working okay now except that it doesn't alarm us on motion. Another issue is the panel that I put in above the garage where we walk in has a light - green or red - that lets us know if it's armed or not. However the panels I have in my bedroom and in the front door that we never go into don’t have lights. My other system had those lights so whatever panel we looked at, we could tell if it was armed or not. I could be laying in my bed, looking at my panel and be able to tell if it's armed or not without having for me to look on my phone or go to the washroom where the garage door is at and look at that main panel. I'd like the company to upgrade those one of these days. Nevertheless, all the representatives have been cordial.

First off before you buy into this company do your research. We had just moved into our brand new home. The very day one of their salesmen came calling. The pitch is that since we are in a upper end new neighborhood they have decided to "sponsor" our home just so we can have one of their signs in front of our house for the purposes of advertising to other passersby. I was willing to talk to the representative but told him to come back later since we were still busy with the move. The rep pulled up his calendar and said he could come back Monday (a holiday). I said "No. Lets do later in the week". The rep replied "Oh I am going on a sales trip to Colorado Wednesday. How about Tuesday?". I agreed to make time Tuesday.
Tuesday came and the rep showed up, but was disappointed that my wife wasn't there. I said I could pass all the info on and to proceed with the meeting since he was going to be out of town after today. The rep then pulls out his phone and says he has since postponed his vacation, but his wife is now mad at him. "Vacation? I thought you were going on a business trip?" But we could now reschedule a time when the wife is there later in the week. I said "No, I have all the info and I will talk it over with her and we will call you." After 20 mins of pushing him out the door he presses 3 time to just show up later in the week. These are the type of sales tactics I can't stand, especially since I have a slight background in sales.
A few weeks go by and another rep shows up at my door. I tell him that I have already spoken to a Vivint rep and I didn't like the $65 monthly charge, in which he proceeds to jam his foot in the door. Forcefully giving me his pitch that he is with "Corporate" and can save me 40% off. 10 minutes later, he comes up with a $59 a month figure that is less of a system than I had worked out with the previous rep. Finally he throws his hands up in the air and says "I don't think you are 100% committed", smiles and walks off.
Pro: Vivint and some of the nicest looking and most tech advanced equipment on the market. Equipment is free with $99 install. Originally $199 (wink, wink). Cons: 5 year contract. The rep will go out of their way to steer away from any contract talk. Good luck trying to get out anytime sooner. $60 a month service fee, and you get to monitor it on your cell phone. You can find another service for $20 a month. Extremely pushy sales people. You thought certain religious orgs were bad. I have read their customer service is just average. Vivint just isn't the type of company I would choose to do business with. Their sales people are well trained but pretty slimy when it comes to actually disclosing the truth at what you are getting into.

I had Vivint over 6 years. At first they were great. I would recommend to my family and friends. Towards the end and now that I'm discontinuing the service, it's a nightmare.

The representative was beyond rude and hung up on me when I wasn't persuaded by his half price offers to stay. Now that I'm finally done, getting out, I have been charged for 2 months of service.
I was told when I called about the charges that it was apart of my contract to be charged one more month, but I would be issued a credit... over a month later no credit and I disputed with my credit card company and I just saw another new charge!!! This is an absolute nightmare. Get Arlo, you won't have to deal with this garbage company.

The quality of service I've received isn't even what I would consider mediocre, AT&T has better service and I left them for poor customer service after over 10 years as a customer. I have been bounced from person to person and I have been told my issues would be resolved, yet your company only does their job half way. The ONLY positive experience I've had with Vivint was with the installer, Joe, who was super kind and courteous, prompt to follow up, and I liked and can count on him. It.s because of Joe that I'm even giving you the benefit of the doubt to email today.
When I signed up for Vivint's services the representative wrote out this awesome list of the things I wanted to secure my home to include free moves for the life of my contract as that was a huge part of me even agreeing to the contract as my wife and I will be moving in 2 years for work relocation. Your representative told us there was a $198 install fee, which I immediately told him, I was no longer interested then, I already have ADT and I'm not going to pay another install fee. So he said he pays half and that we would be responsible for $99 of the install fee. I agreed I would be willing to pay the $99 install fee only. When he called Vivint to verify the offer is real he told me they would say the install fee is $198 and I am to agree as he would be paying half, which was obviously not the case.
As we were setting up the account, he told me he needed an payment account on file. I asked the representative if they would Vivint charging the account right away and he said that it was just to hold and that I could pay with whatever method I chose and I had 10 days to do that. My wife and I expressed the account information given was NOT to be used for any other purpose than to complete the info needed for the contract. So, you can imagine my anger when I check my account the next day and see Vivint withdrew $278 from that account and charged me a $25 return check fee, because that account didn't have funds in it as it's only used for making my car and insurance payments monthly and NOTHING else.
I immediately contacted your company, was bounced from person to person, and finally spoke to someone who said they would refund my account. I waited 10 business days, still no refund, so I call back a few days ago and was told the money was refunded to my Vivint account and the representative I spoke with the other day said she would refund my bank account within 24-48 hours, here we are several days later, and still no refund in my account.
I sent the above information to Vivint's legal department and was contacted by someone who offered to cancel my account. I needed to verify with my wife that was okay and he said he'd call back the next day and send me an email so I could contact him directly. That was a week ago, no call and no email. I filed a complaint through the BBB. I want out of this contract with no further financial obligation and will NEVER do business with this company again! I will tell everyone I know to run far, far, far away from Vivint.

I’m not happy with how it has been hard to get Vivint out here to fix something that’s not my fault. It’s taken way too much effort on several occasions and without someone wanting to charge me. Although, in the end, somebody makes the right decision and sends somebody out to take care of it. It’s a fact that batteries wear out so fast. It’s just the way it is and they don’t tell that. The batteries in the door locks are only used once or twice a month and they have to be replaced every couple of months. This has not been a really good experience. When I had a window fail they said, “Well, it’s not our problem.” And I said, “Well, yes it is.” So, there again, I had to get to somebody else to make the decision. So, somebody came out and fixed it. But it’s way too much effort and probably I will switch because of this.
