    When Vivint was in our neighborhood, I had a sales rep come by and tell us about the different styles that they had and wrote down the prices. He asked me which one we would like and we started service from there. The installation guy told us which is which, how to work the touchscreen pad and who to contact if something went wrong. So far, the service has been excellent.

    Initially, there was a mix up with my account with Vivint. I closed out my old account and I called them to give them information on my new account but for about two to three months I kept getting letters saying that I haven't made a payment for those months. However, I haven't gotten a letter in the last couple of months, so I'm assuming it worked itself out.

    I have a doorbell camera and two motion cameras, one inside my house and one in my garage. The installation guy was great, really professional and did a good job. It was a weird situation 'because he came over on a Saturday and he was there until 10:00 on a Saturday night. Then when I had an issue with one part of the system, I called him back because he left the card the night he installed it and he was able to walk me through over the phone. I got his number programmed on my phone now, so if ever I need anything, I will call him. So far, I'm very satisfied with the service from Vivint and I've recommended them to my neighbor and a few of my friends.

    The sales representative and I talked on the front porch for about 15 minutes, and then he came in. I showed him around the house and he basically stayed until the techs were finished doing all their installation – about 12:30 at night. So the entire transaction happened on the same day. The techs were great. They left the house cleaner than they came in. Though I wanted the panel on a wall on the dining room, but they said they couldn’t do that because there was no electrical there. I said, “How about the other wall on the dining room?” And they said, “Um, how about the wall in the living room.” So now it’s in an awkward location, but I have remote control so it’s okay.

    So far, I’m mostly satisfied with their services. The only thing that bothers me, which I’ve called in to the tech support for a couple of times, is that the panel, my tablet and cellphone all ring the doorbell at different times. If the doorbell rings, I hear it on the panel first. Then, maybe two or three minutes later, it’ll ring on the cellphone. And then, maybe five to ten minutes later, it’ll ring on the tablet. So, that interaction with being able to talk to people at the front door doesn’t really work on the cellphone or the tablet. Sometimes it all happens at once, but a lot of times there’s a delay and that’s annoying. I think it’s resolvable but the last time I spoke with tech support, we were on the phone for 20 minutes and we still haven’t gotten it resolved. They wanted me to do a bunch of other things and I had to get on with a meeting at work.

    The alarm on our front door doesn't work anymore, and we're also supposed to have a camera there. Then, the alarm on the back door alerts you after the thieves come in and close it. We don't have the system that would pull to show you when someone's at the door. Vivint lied, and they never came back. They ordered those things but nobody in the main office ever followed up. Their service is not good. However, the team who came to do the installation were like a family. I cannot say anything bad about them. They were wonderful. But I can't recommend Vivint to anybody. I need them to improve their service or we're going to take it down in another week or two, and bring in another alarm company.

    I really like the Vivint security system but I have one big problem. When I first committed to getting the security system, one of the main reasons why I agreed was so that we could have the doorbell camera. But for whatever reason I can’t explain, they could not get the doorbell camera to work on my system. When the system was first put in, the guys did try to get the camera working and then after not being able to have the doorbell camera, I mentioned it to several people but nobody ever really followed up on it, contacted me, or to even say maybe we could try something else or get it in. I had to go and take the system without the doorbell camera and still pay the same price.

    My Vivint service package includes the doorbell and motion detector for the garage. It's been good. However, I had to have somebody come out the other day to remove the doorbell because I put it in the wrong spot. I couldn't even have a storm door. And that cost me money. The people that installed it said it wouldn't interfere but they didn't know what they were doing because when the guy came out here to remove the doorbell, he found out that the fire alarm wasn't hooked up right and wouldn't work. We've been paying for 10 months and it was neither hooked up or working. The doorbell feature is definitely helpful though as it lets me see who's knocking at my door. I don't know if the price will be up later but I feel a lot from my money out of Vivint. I'm satisfied.

    I have cameras inside and out that were included in my service package, and I'm very satisfied with their service. When my alarm sounds, the guys from Vivint are on it. With the other company that I had for six months, I had never received a call and didn't even know that my alarm wasn't working. However, I'm dissatisfied with their salesman because he promised me $100 if I would switch with Vivint - I never received my $100. He also told me that he was going to give me a month or two or another $100 if I would get my neighbor to sign up with Vivint - which I did, but he didn't. But the installation was good except the one on the window is broken. Overall, I had an excellent experience with them.

    I am very impressed with the level of service that was received from Vivint through my online correspondence through Consumer Affairs. They were prompt to address my initial complaint and was able to get all issues resolved. Although I do wish that this service was received from the beginning through my original calls to the customer service line, I appreciate that in the end, Vivint took the time to look into the situation and work towards a resolution. Hopefully going forward, Vivint will be a little more transparent and up front with disclosing any fees associated with service calls.

    Original Review: Jan. 29, 2016

    Our keypad to our front door stopped working, so we called Vivint to have a tech come out and look at it. The rep on the phone offered an appointment that was 13 days out. We were a little shocked that 13 days out was the first time that they offered us, but oh well, it needed to get fixed. On our appointment date, the tech was late. He called us at the very end of our appointment window (literally with about 1 minute to spare), to let us know that he was running behind schedule. Eventually he showed up and replaced the door lock. We were a little annoyed, but it's ok. We understand that things happen, appointments run behind, no big deal. The door was fixed and that was the end of it... or so we thought.

    About 2 weeks later, I check my bank statement and noticed that Vivint charged an extra $49, so I called to see why. I was informed by the phone representative that it was a service charge to have a tech come out and look at the lock. What??? Why didn't anyone mention the fee when we called to schedule the appointment? The representative's response was, "Oh, sorry, someone should have told you that." Are you kidding me??

    I was over it, so I inquired about how much time was left on my contract. The representative had to transfer me to another department for that information. The new representative advised that I have a lengthy amount of time left and that in order to break the contract, I would have to pay out the remainder of what is left. After explaining to her why I was asking about the contract, she advised me that they do not charge a service fee if you schedule an appointment greater than 14 days out. That was when I learned that mine was 13 days out. Hold on.. so you're telling me that not only did Vivint NOT advise me that they would charge a fee to have a tech come out, they also scheduled my appointment 13 days out instead of 14? Wow Vivint... great customer service. Your company is awesome. Glad I'm stuck with you guys until July of 2018.

We talked to a representative that also did a good job and got me to a supervisor after doing all she could. The supervisor got on the phone very concerned and helpful with great customer service.

    The product is great and service is too, as long as you want to stay with them. I had the service for several years. I called to cancel because I am moving to assisted living. It was very difficult to accomplish. I was transferred to multiple people who kept offering me extensions or discounts. They questioned why I would want to leave my family unprotected, scare tactics? Then I had to submit a letter in writing and wait 30 days. They charged me for another month even though the system was only active for 7 days of that month. Then they wanted to charge me to remove the equipment they put in my walls because I was no longer a customer. The "customer care" representative was not at all helpful.

    The sales representative at Vivint was cool and informed me fully on the system, what it was going to entail and the cost required. Also, their installation team came and explained stuff very, very well. The guy that installed the alarm system personally called and made sure that everything was cool. That was awesome. But I was surprised with the cleanliness during and after the installation. The stuff that was left over and all my other parts were strewn about my work bench. Nothing was organized at all. I was annoyed by that, but it wasn't that hard for me to clean up.

    However, I'm having a problem with the trim on one of my windows, which is now falling down. It's hanging over my window and looks ridiculous. Another concern is that their sticky stuff that they stick on the back of the sensor is so off my sliding glass door and I can't get it to stay on there. So I haven't had my alarm set in 20 days. We were afraid that the sensor was going to fall off and I was going to get charged for a false alarm as it already happened once. I set the alarm the other night for the first time in three weeks. Because of these issues, it’s frustrating. Overall, the company is great and they're good people.

    We bought a service package from Vivint that included everything and it's been horrible. The camera was our whole reason for getting the package and it hasn't worked since I've bought it in May. It's been trouble since day one, and they have horrible customer service. Their technicians have been here a lot but they couldn't make it work. It would work and then it wouldn't. They said it's defective and I need a new one but Vivint doesn't have a replacement.

    And then a few weeks ago, I heard my jeep alarm go off and I thought someone was messing with my vehicle. I went out and couldn't see anything. The next day the guy across the street came over and told me how his vehicle got broken into. So I looked into my cameras but they don't work. Now he's getting a system but I told him to not go with Vivint because obviously it's not the right thing to do. They said they'll reimburse me when they replace the camera. No replacement yet and in the meantime I still got to pay my monthly bill. They phone for money all the time. They have horrible customer service -- when you deal with their people, you deal with 10 different people. I paid my bill and then someone else is calling me to pay my bill and I have to tell them it's paid. I would never deal with Vivint again. They know I'm not happy.

    I had a very pleasant experience with the Vivint representative who knocked on my door. Included in the package I availed from them is a main panel in the kitchen, a doorbell that takes pictures and videos when somebody comes to the front door, motion sensors for the backdoor, and a camera that I can place in the house so I could keep track of things like a pet sitter or a cleaning lady. Their installation team came as promised, put in whatever they needed to, and everything seems to be working the way they told me they would. However, through no fault of Vivint's, I tend to be lazy about using the system.

    The system connects to my phone so it will alert me even when I'm not in the house. If I arm the house, it will alert me if anyone comes to the front door and if there is anything really suspicious, Vivint gets in touch with the police. I haven't had any real emergencies but If I did have to get in touch with them, for instances when I was a little confused or lost, they were very helpful, honest, and easy to get hold of.

    So far, I’m fairly satisfied with Vivint. We had one of their representatives come knock on our door and the installation team came and took care of it all in one day. They went over everything with me. However, I still have some questions about some things I’m concerned about but I’ll just wait until something happens then I’ll call them because everything’s running fine right now. Our service package included the fire, theft, carbon dioxide, and video for the doorbell. We travel a lot and lots of times I forget to close my garage door so it was nice to know that I can check to make sure I’ve closed it whether we’re away or anywhere I want.

They gave me a fix, then I called AT&T and they’re supposed to open some ports on the modem, but they don’t want to do it so we continue to have problems with it.

    I looked for a year before deciding to get the Vivint Security system. This is the only security system that I saw that had a camera in the doorbell. Not only can you see who is at your front door but you can talk to the person who is there. It doesn't matter where you are, you can see the person and talk through your phone. Getting used to the security system has caused me to set it off a couple times, like opening the back door for the dog in the morning and forgetting that the alarm system is on. A real person not a recorded voice comes through your main box to check on you. The Vivint Security System just makes me feel safe, kind of like a cozy pair of slippers.

    I researched all the Home Security systems out on the market. I currently have Comcast for Cable and Internet, so I figured I will try them out because having one bill and the monthly fees associated with the package that included a couple cameras was similar in price each month, roughly $60. Customer service was not that great with informing me of what I was going to get with the Plan. When the technician came out he said they make that mistake often with not informing clients with what they are getting, less than what was explained. Also, the equipment is sub-par. So I cancelled the job!! I had Vivint as my overall number one from original research so they were my next call.

    The Salesman I spoke to was very easy to talk to, explained everything clearly and accurately. I scheduled an appointment with the Salesman, he worked around my schedule (very nice to get that, as we know others like Comcast give big windows and don't cater to your best availability). I got multiple follow-ups to remind and confirm the appointment, excellent. The Technician, Aaron, showed up right on time!! He was very personable, he actually was from out of state filling in for a technician out here in the SF Bay Area. That means a lot for a company to make sure areas even as far as state to state will be covered. I enjoyed talking with him, he is a very nice guy.

    I was receiving a central station, doorbell camera, inside camera, 3 door sensors, and a glass break sensor. He explained everything thoroughly throughout the job and touched on everything again at the end. The equipment is definitely state of the art. Perfect sized touch screen central station, very easy to navigate (exactly the same setup as the app you download). The doorbell camera is amazing, it covers 180 degrees, great coverage. Cool feature is when the doorbell rings you get an alert on your phone for when you are outside the house. It allows you to get a live video of who is there and also allows you to talk to the guest. For instance, if UPS is there I can tell the driver to leave a package around the back.

    You also get the live video monitoring on the central station if you are home. I have a custom home with all the wires built into the walls. I really like how Vivint runs the wires to the central station in the wall. Keeps a very clean look!! Everything is wireless!! All the sensors are very discreet. The tech, Aaron, got me on the phone with someone in the main office to confirm everything was set up and explained to satisfaction, which it was. I will refer Vivint to all my family members, friends and neighbors. Too bad they can't get Aaron, but by the look of how smoothly ran this company is I would bet everything all their Technicians are just as great!! Well done Vivint. I am very impressed!!

    I already had a security system, but I needed the protection from Vivint's medical alert because I've had a stroke and I live alone. The sales rep was outstanding. The installation team was very kind, respectful, knowledgeable, very helpful, and did what they needed to do. I had issues at my home during the first week that I had the system. A young man was ringing my doorbell and knocking on my windows, and we got a picture of him on the camera. The police came out and looked at it, and found out who it was. The young man came and apologized. I recommended Vivint to my daughter and she now also has it. I was so excited about the company so she signed up too.

    While the Vivint security system looks like a great deal with cool features, BEWARE! Customer service is horrendous. They won't come to your home to help you out but they can't seem to answer questions by phone. We begged them to come and then they didn't show up and claimed they had no record of a service call in the system. The key fobs do not work. They don't care. The whole thing is a joke. Going back to ADT where they care if you are actually able to use their system and if you need help they are at your door in a blink of an eye.

    We got Vivint's doorbell camera, thermostat and the doors and windows sensors. The initial representative was great but the equipment never worked properly like it should. They were out of stock with the camera and he said someone should call me when it comes in stock. I never got a call and it was almost 30 days. So, I called them and it took almost two weeks to get there with the camera. Had I not called, nobody would've called me about it. I then started getting notifications every two minutes so, they walked me through how to disconnect that and now, I don't get notifications on my phone. What's the point of me having the camera with no notification? I feel I'm paying for a service that is not even there. It was too much of a hassle to call customer service. I'm a disabled person so I can't stay on the phone for 40-50 minutes. It's too exhausting for me. I'm very dissatisfied and it was frustrating.

    I've had Vivint for 11 months and I haven't had any issues. Everything is good. I got the doorbell camera, the link to the access panel inside the house with the viewing screen, and indoor camera with sensors for all doors and windows, the glass break sensor, and the Space Monkey digital drive. The features are pretty neat. The fact that I can monitor what's going on and adjust the temperature in the house using my phone from other locations is great.

    The people have been very helpful and customer-oriented. The sales rep and the installation team both provided me their numbers so that they could provide anything to me and make sure my experience was good. The sales rep was very knowledgeable with the systems and worked towards what would benefit me as opposed to just whatever was the flavor of the day for what he was trying to sell. He did me a good service. I'm in the military and there was a discount that he was able to get for me for all of the features I added. Installation team was great. They took care of everything and explained it as well. They were fast, friendly, considerate and cleaned up after themselves. A lot of times these companies come in and leave a lot of waste once they're done, but Vivint had it all cleaned up.

    Vivint got nice equipment. It's nice that the lady answers over the wall set rather than the phone ringing. I've only dealt with them one time. My little girl made some noise and it was so loud it set the alarm off for glass breakage. The lady called right away and I explained it. They’re very prompt, courteous and do what they say. Before using them, we had ADT. We had a guy here in Florence that worked through ADT. Their relationship must have went flooey because all of a sudden we got a letter from ADT that said we're not theirs anymore. The whole thing was a real pain in the neck. But the people with Vivint were real good. I'd recommend them.

    After moving from one house to another, we took our home security with us (Monitronics). We became dissatisfied due to a problem which continued to happen. The alarm keep going off. They said they would fix it but it was never fixed, so when Vivint came along and said they had a better security control, we said "Well we just renewed our contract with Monitronics." The salesperson said that Vivint would pay for one year of our service, since we just signed up for a three year contract and had two more years to go. So we took him at his word, we paid off the Monitronics contract which turned out to be $847.50. I contacted Joseph the sales manager three times. He said the check was on its way.

We did set the locks in the hallway but that was a little too far from the doorbell camera so we had Vivint come back and remove the box from the hallway and put it up closer to the front door so the doorbell camera would work.

    We really like Vivint. My sons also had it and we actually found out about it through them. My mother is elderly and lived alone so we got it for her and we decided we'd get ours too just because of the neighborhood we live in. Our town is very small, it doesn't have a lot of crime, but we live in a not-a-really-great neighborhood and full of rentals that people are coming in and out of. It's expensive but yet, it gives us the safeguard of knowing that it's okay. We turn it on every night when we go to bed and having the sign in our yard is enough for our community to not have people break into our house.

    Moreover, the installation team were very friendly but if I had the most complaint about anything, it's that we didn't have enough time to sit and go over what kind of things we can do with our system, what came across our screen and why, and if we're out of town, how we turn it on or off from our phone, because it was late. It was probably about 10:30 at night when they got done. I didn't really get good training on it. We don't know how to use the system like we should.

I had someone come out here before my time was up without me having to pay for the trip and they did their magic stuff.

    My neighbor used Vivint. I was having problems and so I was wanting to get an alarm, so I asked him about his experience and got his information. The Vivint sales reps were all good. The only negative was at the beginning, they led me to believe that I was going to get more of the package than what I actually got. Installation was good. When the man found out that they promised me that they were going to give me a bigger package than what they will give, and because I was really scared from some of the stuff that had happened, he hooked up a whole more of my windows than he had to.

    One time I was outside of the house and had driven off, and my dogs were locked inside the home. I realized I had tripped the alarm when I left and I didn't hear from Vivint. I figured that was because I had turned it back off that they realized that I had just tripped it. I have good experience and would recommend Vivint.

    The Vivint sales rep I spoke with was accommodating. I told him any conversation he had with me would probably be better suited if it was with me and my wife who would make the decision together and he came back at a time when he could sit down and talk to both of us about the system because we had been debating on wanting an alarm system. I remember being leery about anything from a door-to-door salesman but the rep was very professional, and gained our trust. The tech that came in was very good. We had a lot of weird problems as I’m kind of techie and I had all kinds of crazy technology stuff going in there that interfered with the installation. He was super helpful and helped me work with other problems. We really like our system and I would definitely recommend Vivint.

    I had quite a bit of problem with the installation team but everything got fixed and so far I like the service. My only problem is the app and being able to delete videos. You can only delete one at a time. It’s kind of stupid how it works. I pull up the video feed and hit “List all the saved videos” and then delete it. And then I got to end my session and then go back in to delete another one. If you delete more than one, it gives you an error message. I should be able to delete all that I want and then get out of the video portion of it.

    I am completely unsatisfied with Vivint. The system works fine. The guy that came in and installed the system was awesome and helpful. He used to follow up with us every once in a while to see how we were doing. What's horrible with Vivint is their website, phone app and customer service. The phone app, sometimes, will give false alerts. For instance, it will tell that the garage or front door is open/unlocked but when I checked, it's completely closed/locked. It's very not trusted. I always have to double check everything.

    When I go to their website it won’t let me log in. It said my email address isn't verified but I've been on their website plenty of times to pay my bills monthly with them. Last month I made a payment and tried to set up auto pay. Before I submit it, it says, “Do you want to make this an auto pay with this credit card?” I selected yes. But it didn’t do anything. It logged me out saying there is still something that I have to set up. I tried to log back in and, again it said that my email isn't set up. This month I get a notification saying my bill wasn’t paid last month, so they didn’t even process my credit card. Now I owe them for two months and I tried to log in again but it tells me the same, that my email is not verified. I get so frustrated. I've already talked to them and told them I would never recommend their service. I'm stuck in a three-year contract with them unfortunately that I can’t get out off, so I have to deal with it.

    We have a very positive and overall a pretty good experience with Vivint. The house we bought had a pre-existing system and Vivint was able to come and tie-in. When I talked to the installer about the need for glass breaks, the way he pitched the product made sense. So we had that included in the service package we purchased, along with the door sensors, motion sensors, their security panel, and a couple of cameras because we have small kids.

    Both the sales staff that I dealt with and the installer were exceptionally patient in dealing with a pretty tough schedule. At the time, we were trying to move out of one house and into the house we’re in now and we had a real tight time schedule. They were really good about making sure we would be home and working with our time frame. Also, they had a back order on one of the products we wanted and were very good about telling us.

    The app that they use, though, is somewhat herky-jerky. It’s a little glitchy and sometimes it won’t pick up. Also, sometimes it doesn’t necessarily show that I’ve disarmed the system but when I walk inside the house, the system is disarmed. I suggest to Vivint that what would help the app experience from the user’s side is if they alerted us such that if we got more than five miles from home, per se, and the security system wasn’t on, a little reminder should pop-up on our phone saying so and then it would give us an option to arm. I think that’s user-friendliness and I feel that if they would do a redesign or a recent update on the app, they would find that more users would appreciate those features.

    We had one time where our housekeeper set off the system and the response time they had was exceptional. They had me and my wife called in under a minute. Someone at their home office was able to converse with me and my wife and our housekeeper all at the same time so Vivint could verify that it indeed was not an emergency situation and a false alarm. That kind of rapid response is always appreciated.

    We like the platform of Vivint. We have teenage girls that can be home alone because both of us work and thought it was a good time to get a security system so when they come home they can arm it and we'd feel a lot safer between the time they get home and the time we get home from work. We got the doorbell camera. Also, we have the interior camera that looks at the front door inside. Rep was great. She explained and showed us everything. We didn't have any complaints other than they sold us the doorbell camera and they turned out to be out of those and we didn't get them for a couple of months. I contacted them and complained about that and they credited us a little bit off of the price to make up for it. They made it right and it was all good.

    The installation team did a good job but some of the installers were little sloppy on the front and back door. The sensor wasn't completely flushed so it wouldn't let our doors close. We called a tech to come back out and fix that and he did. That was a little bit annoying, but not anything terminal. Also, we were having issues with the front door lock and they wanted to charge us 50 bucks to come back out and look at it. I was disappointed about that because we're not past the one year mark and I thought that if it's not functioning it would be under some type of coverage.

    The first couple of months that I had Vivint, I recommended it to three friends and they all bought it. But now I'm dissatisfied with it and my experience has been painful. It was the basic security system that I purchased first. Then I purchased a doorbell camera, an indoor camera, and some glass break sensors. I had existing thermostats and I also added a deadbolt. The first month, I was able to use my deadbolt from my app at my panel. After that, it stopped working so I had a technician to come out. They called and said they were coming out. The day came but nobody showed up. Nobody called, too.

    I didn’t respond back for a while then I set something else up again. They committed to the appointment and came back out. The technician said, “Well, I don’t have the tool that I need. So you’re going to have to reschedule another appointment.” I did that and that was in December. He said that something was interfering with the frequency of the z-wave which is the frequency the deadbolt runs off of and that there’s no way they could fix it. So I eliminated that from my contract but I was still getting billed for it. I called back a couple of days ago and set something up again. I had to talk to a different department, which was customer loyalty, but they were closed for the day. I talked to a supervisor and she said that she would call me back at 7 p.m. the next day so she could put me in touch with customer loyalty. No call.

    I called the following day. I finally got a hold of somebody and was on the phone for an hour and a half. They said it’s settled and I got them to send me an email confirming that. They did but I’ll see when my next bill comes. At this point, the contract is null and void on their side if they don’t fix my issue. They can come out and get the equipment and I can be done with it. I don’t feel threatened at my house but when I’m not here, I want peace of mind. However, this is not fulfilling the needs for my family. It’s not worth the headache. I have a couple of nice-sized dogs that do a better job at security in the house anyway.

    It was nice how they described the system and how it first worked. Everything was really neat but then it went all downhill from there. Customer service has been friendly but they don’t resolve much of anything. Sometimes my app will still lose the communication with my panel. There has been some times where it’ll say that it disarmed on my phone and I have walked in and it had set the alarm off. There are a lot of bugs and glitches in that system. They need to revamp it and really do a lot of research and development. They start trying to sell it just for the visual of it. They don’t really talk about the technical problems that they have.

He came back after hours and stayed for a couple of hours trying to ensure my husband was comfortable with the new system and answered any questions. He came out several times after that. If I had any questions, he helped me get everything set up and we tested all the alarms and it was absolutely amazing.

    The installation team was here a while. And since we already had ADT, we used the existing sensors so they didn't have a whole lot they needed to install except for the panels, thermostat, and the doorbell cam. They were nice and very professional fellas and looked clean cut. The only issue we had was the keypad on the front door - it didn't work.

    We have always had a positive experience any time we have had to call out a service tech. It has been for the same problem but they have worked diligently until they solved the problem with the area where we wanted the alarm placed. They are also super quick answering the alarms, our son often forgot to put in the code when it was first installed and our daughter kept forgetting the code and would set the alarm off. I have also set the smoke alarm off twice trying out a stovetop smoker. We have had our system for just over 3 years and don't plan on going anywhere.

    I was getting ready to call a couple of alarm companies to come out and the day that I was going to do this, a Vivint rep knocked on my door and wanted to show me what they had and I signed the papers that day. I'm very happy with it. I got the thermostat and alarm that you can program with the phone, as well as the glass breaks and monitors on the doors. They told me if this house is too cold the thermostat monitor could be used so the pipes don't freeze.

    It's really neat and I've had a great experience with Vivint. They've done everything they said they would and the service is good. They came out and set everything. Although I did have one problem and that was they didn't get the smoke alarms in right away. Actually, they had the smoke alarm and the qualified people to install them and I had to wait a little on that. But as soon as they had the guys through the testing, they came right up and did it.

    Vivint took money out of my account that they're not supposed to. I called them this morning and had them come out to fix one of my sensors. I always had to bypass on the panel in order to set my alarm and there was a sensor that they screwed up when they first hooked it up. When they came to fix it, they charged me but they didn't tell me I'm going to be charged for that. When I looked at my bill and accounting, they already pulled out $117 plus my monthly payment on top of that so I was really upset.

    Even before this happened, when I first signed up with Vivint, they didn’t explain the details to me. The guys were in a hurry to sign me up. I work in a customer-based business myself so I know it's very important how I treat my customers so I can get business and get work back with my customers. It's always good to be truthful what the prices and the terms are and how many years you are signing for. Very dissatisfied with Vivint. I was really disappointed and I said, "I'm not going to waste your time and if you're not going to help me, I don't want you to waste my time. Have a good day" and I hung up.

I was very pleased with both the salesperson who was the first contact person who represented the company and showed me the product. The installation team was also very good. They took their time and showed me everything. They let me know what they were installing and why, and how it did and didn’t work.

    The system makes me feel more comfortable. With me being in and out of the house, it gives a better advantage to my wife who is on disability. If she has to open the door downstairs for somebody, she can unlock it from upstairs and she doesn’t have to go downstairs to open the door. She can also see who’s at the door when the bell rings. She can tell someone to leave a package outside or just slip the package inside and close and lock the door back. We can always go back and look at the camera clips to see who rang the doorbell and who’s been to the house.

    She also has a medical alert button and if something goes on and she needs some medical assistance right away before I can get there, she can have all the doors unlocked so the emergency people can come right in. So overall, I’m very happy with my security system and I would definitely recommend Vivint right off the bat. I like the fact that it’s an advanced service.

    I contacted Vivint over a week ago to have services installed at my home after being referred by my mom. Though she only had the services for about two month, she also had issues setting up her account which she was told she would be accommodated. She like the system now that it was finally installed. After hearing about the company "resolving" the issue and hearing such great things about the system functions I was interested in changing my current service to Vivint. So, I contacted the company for a quote and possible installation of services. After I spoke with the sales representative and was told about the equipment I would receive and the benefits that comes with it I decided to move forward.

    I was EXCITED! I set up the account and scheduled installation. I was transferred to another young lady who confirmed my contact and account information, I was all set. Until I later received the confirmation email with account information and product list. I immediately noticed that there were several corrections that needed to be made, so I attempted to contact the sales rep back as he assured me that he would be available if any issues came up or he would contact me back. He did neither. So I contacted customer service informing them that they mistakenly entered the person who referred me name and telephone number on my account and payment info which needs to be removed as she should only be listed on my account as the person who referred me to Vivint.

    It was after several calls to get this matter resolve and being told it was corrected that I was informed that they had not only made the mistake of including her on the account but they had set the account up in the name of the person who referred me listing me as a cosigner instead of the account holder. The agent stated that because my credit did not meet the qualifications to receive the free activation they placed the account under her name, instead of informing me of the problem and allowing me to make a decision as to how to proceed. Mind you neither I or the person referring me approved or requested that they use her name or credit to establish account which is illegal.

    If they would have given me the chance to address the problem I would place the account in my husband's name as I told the rep. The agent ran my husband's information and he was approval per the Vivint agent, therefore they would change the information in their system as the previous agents had told me before but was false. The agent assured me that he was taking care of it. They continued to tell me that the account was corrected yet the account was never updated and my account remain on the account of the person referring me making her have two accounts instead just the one she originally set up at her own home.

    She and I contacted Vivint on numerous occasions informing them of the error and the corrections which needed to be corrected. They continued to lie stating that the problem had been resolved yet when she pull her account up it still reflects the two accounts, one at her location and one at my home. I spoke to a number of representatives and a few managers daily for over week. I received a email from one of the managers after requesting updated documentation which showed the "updated" information on the account with her name still on it and the only thing this manager could tell me was to confirm the corrections with the Technician when he come out to install the equipment since it was already corrected on his end.

    After receiving the email that confirmed along with her account information that reflect no changes and knowing that the Technician won't be able to make any corrections to the account upon installation, I decided to cancel the installation. As this company seems to be a group of con artists with no integrity, no accountability and lack of respect for their customers or the law that they are comfortable with perform illegal acts in order to security a sales and refusing to correct them when they occur. I called to request a refund so let's see how long that take.

    So the fact that I see so many positive reviews on this site it's almost unbelievable. What I thought would be a good experience turned into a terrible experience. I can't believe the lack of effort that went to correcting a problem that was created by their team member for a "potential" customer, so I can only imagine what a customer in a five year contract may be experiencing. I am very disappointed in the entire experience but I glad I found this out before entering into a long term agreement with them!! So would I recommend Vivint? My answer would have to be no instead run in the other direction. Such a huge hassle!! Good Luck.

    I got the door, window sensors, a camera, the automatic door lock, lock system and the remote control of the system by cell phone from Vivint. There were two who went for the installation. The first one I wasn’t really impressed with. They made more excuses than they did actually putting the system in. The first one was a young man who told me that I would have to go with the separate battery pack system for the doorbell camera because the wiring in my house wouldn’t support the doorbell. But when another person came through to look at it, he hooked it up with the existing wiring with no problem. So the initial installer was apparently not too knowledgeable about the system that he was trying to install.

    I like the system because of the security. Having it, I got the peace of mind knowing that the house is protected when I’m not here. It is a good system but it has got a few bugs in it. One day, we went on a trip and came home, the front door was unlocked. Apparently, the automatic unlocker had been triggered while we were gone and it didn’t show up in the system. And then the other problem I’ve had with it, and this has been an ongoing problem, is that for some weird reason, the system won’t function. I work late shift, come home midnight and I use the automatic door unlocker while I’m still sitting in the car. I have to come up and actually manually punch in the numbers because the phone won’t contact the internal system. I don’t know if that’s a bug in the system or if it’s a bug in the network communication system part of it. It’s got a few bugs in it but overall it seems to be a good system.

    We like Vivint’s security system. However, I wish we had more cameras. Also, the billing has been a real struggle from the very beginning. They kept on not taking the money out of our account and then turn the service off because they hadn’t done so. Then they would take two or three months out at a time, which completely messed up my account, and that has been a real issue. We were ready to walk away because of that. But we absolutely love the young man that sold us the system. He was great. He would come out and make sure that everything was working properly.

    Some of the biggest features were the cameras and the home monitoring, the point system that they use to be able to use different things throughout the house. And to be able to monitor my house while I'm not here was the biggest thing 'cause I'm gone a lot. And to see if there's somebody at the door or when a door opens and closes. We have pets. So, when we have somebody watch the pets when I look on the phone, I can see they were there for five minutes.

    The installation representatives that came out were great. From the first time that they arrived, we've had them come back to fix some things, but they were very knowledgeable about the hardware that they were installing, and about transferring our old stuff over to Vivint to be able to use on their system. They were very professional on what they were doing. We had a few issues with things not communicating properly but that was distance from the monitor to where the item was. But they fixed the problem no questions asked and didn't charge us for anything. So, I'd recommend them. It's been great service so far.

    We're happy with Vivint. We put cameras, doorbell and two thermostats in. Their installer did a good job in getting the system all hooked up. He only had one thermostat on the truck so he had to come back. But outside of that, we thought he was a conscientious man. He was trying his best for the company, and tried hard to make the system what we had expected. My daughter bought a house and put home security in a month earlier but we had a better experience than she did. Because we were happy with it, our neighbor across the street got the service too.

    Vivint had people go through the neighborhood and they stopped by the house and talked me through it. I already had a system in the house, it just wasn’t activated. And then the Vivint sales rep came in, looked at it, and saw that it was one of their old systems. He talked to me about what he can do for me and how much that would cost. It was a free installation, and that was definitely a selling factor. On top of that, the price for monitoring wasn’t that expensive either.

    And then the installation was done on that same day the sales rep was there. He talked me through everything, got me signed up, and then after about 30 minutes, the guy responsible for the installation arrived. He set everything up, talked me through how to work the panel, and then got everyone in the house set up their own passcode, emails, etc. They were in and out in a couple of hours. I now have the dual thermostat, the front door lock, a motion detector, and sensors positioned at my doors and a couple of windows.

    We have a doorbell camera and thermostat controls from Vivint but the thermostat controls are not reading the right temperature. My husband called it in and Vivint gave us $15 credit to go and buy our own thermometer and take the temperature of our house. We have some extras but the extra that we have is not accurate. My husband had some difficulty getting solutions from Vivint. And when we first got the system, we were never told that something had to be filed with the police department. So if we had an emergency, the police wouldn't be able to be called. It's really ridiculous that we're paying this amount when we can't even get the police to our house because of some form.

    A Vivint salesman was walking around our neighborhood. At that time, we thought it would be a good idea to get a security system because we were about to go on a vacation. Plus, this was going to be the first year our little girl was going to be at home by herself. Their installation team was good. They were very quick and professional. I’m kind of a person who asks a lot and they answered all of my questions to the best of their ability. I was also told to feel free to give them a call if I had any other inquiries or concerns.

    We got the camera, doorbell camera, glass break sensor, and the dead bolt that you can point to the numbers. The doorbell camera is cool because I could watch my little girl get off the bus. We also get some packages dropped off and if somebody rings the doorbell, it’ll notify us. The other camera is for monitoring my daughter during the day while she’s at home to make sure that she’s doing what she’s supposed to be doing.

I wish I had asked him to come back instead because he was trying his best to get everything installed so he finished late.

    Anyway, I love that I can lock my doors and set my system from my phone. I can also program it for different people. In fact, we haven't used a key in months. Furthermore, I like the camera feature on the doorbell but right now, my camera is broken.

    Dealing with Vivint hasn't been a great experience. When they initially came out, I gave them my credit card for the initial install and payment. Immediately after that, they began to illegally remove funds from my account for payment. I never authorized them to do that. I called them the first time and they apologized and said that they'll change it and send us a bill every month instead. Then for the next two months, they continued to take the funds out without my permission. It took a half dozen phone calls before I got a refund. The months that were due were deducted from my refund and that was fine.

    Also, from the very beginning, we were promised the doorbell with camera but the driver didn't have that in stock and that was also fine. They said it would be less than two weeks, but it took seven weeks to get and it's now chipping and peeling. It looks like we've had it for 10 years even though we've only had it for 3 months. It's not what we expected when we signed up. Once they finally got the whole credit card thing resolved, we didn't get a bill for three months and we called to tell them that. Suddenly a bill shows up and they want $180. We only paid a month and they would call everyday for a week until we paid again. It's out of control.

    The sales rep was very nice and he filled us in on all of the information, but everything else went wrong after he left. On the bright side, the monitoring part has been great. Whenever the alarm goes off, they're on it within 15 seconds calling in to make sure everything's okay and asking for the password. But the billing and customer service are terrible. They say they'll make notes in our account but when I call the very next day, the rep doesn't see any notes where it says stop direct billing. So I would not recommend them, at all.

    I work out of town quite a bit so my wife and I talked about getting a security system. When Vivint did a presentation at home, we decided that's what we want. We purchased the doorbell camera, thermostat, motion sensor and iLive camera. We felt that they were nice to have. It was after six o'clock when the installers came over. They were very professional but had some issues with getting the system hooked up online. It was already after midnight so we asked them to leave and come back.

    My wife looks after our granddaughter at times and more often they're upstairs so the camera gives us the opportunity to look and see who's at the door without having to go there. We also travel a bit when I am home so if we forget to turn the thermostat down, we can do that. I like having the security itself when we're gone traveling and I love that I can open the garage door from our phone. My wife tends to forget to turn the alarm off and so every time she would have to call Vivint and it was always a good experience. She's not great with technology.

The first guy that came out didn't know how to fix it and so we had to get somebody else out. We were probably without that for a month. But when the system is up and running, it's great.

    But we like the service overall now that it's working and we have been very happy with the technicians for the most part when we get somebody who knows what they're doing. We do understand that they got a huge amount of new employees so we've been patient. To be fair, we've had Vivint since May of last year and over that time we've only had two who just didn’t know what they were doing.

    Vivint does what it's supposed to do and the security it provides is nice but we always have issues with the app. When we open the overhead garage, instead of acting like a door being opened and tells you to go disarm it, it acts as a break-in so it sets off the alarm. Being in the garage, I don't really hear the panel beeping until all of a sudden my phone rings and I was texted a break-in. The app says one thing and the systems doing something else. It's one of our biggest issues. And the quality of the interior cameras are subpar compared to how they were sold to us. There were certain things that were oversold on quality and what they do. And maybe a little bit of the system is underdeveloped.

    We were also a little dissatisfied with the fact that we were told the panel is wired into the house, which is a lie. It's wired to a plug that gets plugged into a 110 plug. So they fish all wires through the wall and then they have to drill two holes in the wall, which we weren't told was going to happen. We got lucky that where we wanted it installed, there's a plug on both sides of the wall so we made the installer install it on the plug on the other side of the wall because it's behind the desk and we didn't want to see this massive plug sitting in the hallway.

    Moreover, the professionalism of the installers were a little subpar because they're a bunch of friggin college kids doing everything. We made them come back and redo some of the sensors because they're working in a 3 foot by 3 foot square and they couldn't center the glass break sensors. They're three quarters the one way and a quarter the other way. I was like, "You'd center it in the opening." Then the panel went between a wall, a little three inch protrusion from the wall and a mirror, and I'm like, "Why didn't you center the panel. There was a half an inch gap from the mirror there and a two-inch gap on the wall."

    But we definitely recommend Vivint because we felt the packages that they offered were good and we can pick and choose how we wanted it to come to a price point that fits our bid so that's good. We have a couple of friends who have signed up but we're upfront with them and tell them the issues we've had. We're satisfied with Vivint. For the most part it's good. It's bad, but it's not horrible. We'd definitely do it again if we had to.

So he sent me a link and then we talked and he showed me all these things and what it would cost me. I did my homework, contacted ADT, and they wanted to charge me over $2500 for the same thing my son was going to give for just the first month’s payment and an installation charge. It was a no-brainer at that point so we switched.

    We included in our package the light control that turn the lights off and on, two cameras and then all the sensors (glass break, fire and Carbon Monoxide detectors). They had to come in again after installation though because the doorbell camera placed outside began to peel (either because of the weather or the materials it was made of). They came and replaced it, and the tech was very nice and courteous - walked me through everything. Overall, Vivint has good products. My wife who's usually a tough sell loved it.

I like their product and their service is better and faster. The two people who came over were very efficient and knowledgeable. It was a quick and painless installation. I got pretty much everything - the doorbell, camera, flood alarm, motion sensors, door sensors, and thermometer. I got the system for peace of mind whenever we’re not home. We will actually be gone for two weeks and it’ll be nice to know that the house is looked after while we’re away at Puerto Rico, since I can go on my phone and check it.

    I've been very satisfied with Vivint. Their sales rep and installers did a very good job. The doorbell camera that I got is cool and I like that it is motion activated and that it records motion. It caught somebody smashing my car up and they didn't even know it. They backed their trailer up into my car and drove off like a hit and run and I got their license plate. I've had Vector and ADT before but so far I like Vivint. They've lived up to their word and their promises. Every time my alarm goes off, they're on top of it. I've had a couple of false alarms and the service has been good so far.
