My system was armed and yet someone broke my glass sliding door open and the alarm didn't sound. Vivint didn't try to help with the repair the cost of damages and yet they demand their money. They have placed me in collections for their failure to monitor my home. They sent my account to two different collection companies and yet these people insist that everything was done by the books. If things are done by their books, ask yourself. Would I trust my family and property with monsters that refuses to wrong?

I’m a brand new user and I like the system. The only downside I see so far is I would like to see users that aren’t the administrator be able to disarm the alarm without having the administrator code. It’s defeats the purpose of having separate codes. Other than that, I like the system so far.

I’m blown away by the discrepancies between the sales team and installation technician. The sales team claimed that the cameras being installed were wireless with a 3 year battery life. This is a blatantly inaccurate statement. The cameras are in fact wired and have no backup battery in the event of a power loss. I was quoted $80 with tax but I am being billed $93. After dealing with the misinformation the customer service agent offered a discount which he claimed would bring down my monthly bill to $80. An hour later he argued he never said so even though he was on speaker phone and the technician was my witness.
I recommended we collectively listen to the recorded phone call to which he admit he would be reprimanded for and that I would still not receive a lower monthly bill. I have never been more appalled by how deceitful a sales team has been. I felt bad for the technician who was just following orders and clearly was not surprised by the misinformation communicated by the sales team.

Bait and switch, poor customer service. Vivint is dishonest with their sales pitch, does not stand behind their work or equipment, and could care less about the people they sell their products to. I plan on leaving this review on several websites with security reviews, their Facebook page, and the Facebook page for our neighborhood and surrounding area.
I called Vivint Home Security on their sales line to see what kind of investment I would be looking at and what monitoring services with contract was required. The sales gal was eager to help and very friendly. I mentioned that we had been with Vivint previously and still had the entire old system still in place but that it had a lot of issues. We went over the issues that we had with the old system and she told me that Vivint lifetime warranties all of the equipment so anything that did not work properly or had become obsolete to the new system would be changed out no cost, awesome! To make things even better she told me that once the system was paid for it would be about $56 a month for monitoring, no contract required, which was great as I planned on paying for the system outright. We went over new system panel and I added a few new options to the list. Total came to just over $1500 and we scheduled it out for install.
The technician arrived as scheduled and that when things started to fall apart. I told him about the issues the old system had and that I was happy to be getting these things resolved along with the new items. He shook his head and said that he was not told about fixing anything and that we needed to call into the office. Person #1 I explained the conversation that I had with the sales gal to the customer service person and was put on hold. She came back and stated that they could not take care of the old system issues and that I would have to pay additional for that. Also, I was finding out now that the monitoring was now tied to a contract. She tried sending me back to another salesperson to rework the deal; I wanted the deal we originally had, so I asked for a manager. She was not happy but did transfer me.
Person #2 was supposedly a manger but announced herself as a customer specialist. I again explained the conversation that I had with the sales gal. She then put me on hold. Once she came back she told me that they couldn’t repair the issues because I had cancelled my previous contract and once cancelled all warrantees were void. I found this very ironic as the reason that I cancelled originally is because they would not help me fix the issues last time, and why would I have continued paying an outrageous monthly charge for something that did not work correctly. She offered me a discount on the replacement items and I said no, I wanted what we had originally agreed to. I asked for her manager to which her reply was that they were all in a meeting. I called bull crap, as it was Wednesday at 6:30 PM and not likely. After being on hold again she finally transferred me.
Person #3 came on the phone and was irritated that I interrupted the meeting she was in. I again had to explain everything that had happened. She offered me another discount that would have brought my total out of pocket to just over $2200 and I said no. If that would have been the original deal I would not have had an issue with it, but to change everything after the fact and then bait and switch me while the installer was sitting in my house I was not having it. If you like getting screwed on the sales / install, not having them not back up the equipment they sell, then get hosed again with a contract for monitoring which is twice what others are charging then these are your guys. Why would anyone want to do business with a company like this?

Big promises to make a sale, little actually delivered! Some of the equipment has never worked (motion detector and door sensor) and the panel was replaced. Their contract to pay out equipment interest free also locks you in that many months for monitoring but they don't tell you that! Total scam! I'm calling the attorney general and FTC. Very easily could become a class action. They don't care. Too many newcomers fooled and signing up!

The salesman told us we were getting more stuff to the system that later we were informed that did not come with it. You had to pay a lot more to get that and the stuff that did come with the system never got put in. We only got maybe 75% of the system installed and the equipment stopped working but they continued to charge a high monitoring fee even when the system was not even working at all. And now five months later the system is still not working but they are still trying to back charge for the high monthly monitoring fee and the system has not worked. But I did finance the equipment which was $1500. I am still paying on that part. Obviously I am committed to that but the service is very poor. I made a huge mistake buying the system. They won’t even look at the system to see what is wrong. All they want is the money for the monitoring fees on a system that has not worked in over five months.

Moved into a new place with the hardware already installed. All I needed was to transfer service into my name. After 2 days of playing phone tag with the Panel Activation team I call back on the 3rd day determined to get my account transferred. I was transferred between 5 different departments. After I reached someone who was willing to process me they tell me my system needs a software update, which I couldn't do because Internet not installed yet, and we could not proceed without someone coming out to install. The internet blocker wasn't Vivint's fault, but that should have been determined on day one to prevent an additional day in delayed service.

The service we received during the time we were contracted with Vivint was good overall. We were with them for many years. My two stars are based on the experience we had attempting to cancel our service when we moved to a new home. I tried cancelling our service for 5 months. Initial call was in June, and “official” cancellation happened in November. I called and spoke with Vivint on multiple occasions yet was still continually charged month after month and given the run around. A verbal cancellation on the phone isn’t enough. You must also supply a written cancellation. After they receive the written cancellation, they still charge you for an additional month.
Just be aware if you plan to cancel, be on top of all the details and hoops they make you go through - they don’t make it easy and take advantage of their customers here. Despite multiple efforts over several months, they chose not to do the right thing and help waive the additional costs so ultimately I was charged for 5 months of service I didn’t receive. This is not how loyal customers should be treated. Unfortunately, this experience severely tainted my entire view of Vivint as a company.
Thank you for your feedback Ginger. Our cancellation policy is available online and stated within the contract.

We try out Vivint and from the get-go have problem with this company. The company is dishonest and their equipment is faulty and unreliable. Our camera doorbell started having issues shortly after it was install. The battery on the control panel is no longer charging after only having the equipment for less than two month. The front door keypad lock is draining batteries so fast, we have to replace it every few weeks. It gets too weak to do the unlocking mechanism, my daughter, now needs a key just in case it does not work. No notification on the control panel to let us know when it gets to that point, I think it does let us know if the battery is completely dead.
The warranty for the product is only as good as the service contract is active. They leave that part out, they repeatedly inform me it had a lifetime warranty. After we cancel our service, the equipment, even though it's less than a month old no longer has a warranty on it. These are their equipment with their name on it. From the beginning their representative was dishonest, our sales representative had inform us that we had a certain length of time to try the system but was later inform that it was inaccurate.
When we complain to the company about the deceptive sales approach, they were unresponsive. The sale representative, once he sold us his product, no longer would take our phone calls. We could not even leave one voice mail because his mail box with completely full. This was the contact know he gave us if we had any question. It's amazing this company had so many high review, yet on website like this, yet when I dig just a little into the consumer review, there are lots of people who would warn you to stay as far away from this company as possible. I no longer trust any company associated with Vivint. Including Vivint Solar and anything else related to them.

I've had Vivint for about a year and to say I hate it is an understatement. It is beyond frustrating. This is exactly why I don't do contracts because now I'm stuck with them for another year. I have several issues with the app and company including
-the panel won't allow me to change the doorpad code on either doors
-the doorpad needs new batteries too often
-the doorbell videos don't always update so I don't have recent videos
-the alarm can't be heard from the upper level so I asked for a second panel but they said no so I asked for the panel to be moved to my upper level which isn't an ideal location because now if I do have an intruder, they won't hear it
-the guy who moved my panel couldn't repair the hole in my wall
These are just the issues I can think of. I need convenience so the fact that I have to call them so often is such a headache. I'll never use them and never sign up for a contract service.

I previously had a home security system which had outdated equipment and there were no plans for them to upgrade their system so I spoke with a Vivint sales person who knocked on my door. Upon agreeing to the service, the sales person had a technician arrive at my house at 9 pm (which was awkward) and told me it would take about an hour or so being that I already had 4 cameras from my old system, they just needed to replace the cameras. The technician didn't leave my house until almost 2 am. (Yes, 2 in the morning). Within a week of installation, one of the cameras had rain water and humidity in it which made it impossible to see anything out of it. I called and they sent a technician over and changed the camera.
In July, 2 months after installation, I was trying to see footage of who or what was rummaging through my garbage cans at night and I saw that there was no footage nor ANY alerts in my system when there clearly was something going on with the debris left around my garbage cans. Again, I called Vivint and they rebooted my cameras and my system. Since then the service has been sketchy at best. All 4 cameras have motion sensors with night vision or so I thought.
On the early morning of Thursday, October 24th, my side camera recorded 20 seconds of someone throwing some item at my passenger side window attempting to break into my vehicle. It only started recording when the flood light in my car port was triggered. It didn't show the individual approaching nor did it capture when he left. Mind you, I have a RING Doorbell camera that didn't capture anything nor did I get any alerts on my phone.
The individual was not able to get into my vehicle because the window did not break however it needed to be replaced and I have $1,332 in damages to my bumper and my passenger side doors. I called Vivint and spoke with a customer service agent who informed me that the Ring Camera will "only record when someone is approaching the door directly from the front". That's not true because it has recorded me multiple times from the side of the front door. I informed him that I will be shopping for another service and I will call back to cancel.
Today is October 30th and once again, my backyard camera and my side camera were offline. I called Vivint and I told them to cancel my account because I am done with them and their service. I let it be known that I am not interested in working out a deal or anything like that. I want my services cancelled, PERIOD. The young woman I spoke to informed me that my dashboard shows that all cameras are online and functioning correctly.
While she was transferring me to the cancellation department, I checked the cameras on my dashboard and I recorded over 1 minute of the video attempting to live stream footage from the dashboard and then I just gave up. I spoke with a young woman from the cancellation department who informed me that I can NOT cancel my service unless I pay exactly $3,239.46, which is the remainder of my service contract. PLUS, I have to call Fortiva (the company I leased the equipment from) to see how much I have to pay them for the equipment.
I understand that Vivint is not responsible for the actions of this individual, however, had they provided the services that I am paying for, had my cameras functioned the way they are suppose to, had their equipment given me the alerts I am paying for, the damage to my property would have been minimal or the police would have had enough footage to possibly apprehend this individual. Instead, I have $1,332 in damages to my vehicle and a $3,239.46 bill to Vivint for NOT doing their job and providing me the services I have been paying for.
My advise: STAY AWAY - TOTAL RIP OFF. Please feel free to email me at ** if you are interested in seeing the 20 seconds of footage it did capture along with the next video taken to see how useless this system works. Since my initial call last week, the alerts haven't stopped and I have even captured recordings of headlights from cars that are driving by when the cameras are online. This company and their services are useless. Randy **

I have been very frustrated with Vivint and the doorbell camera. I continue to have issue with it detecting and recording and have had to reset camera more than once and spent hours of my time on the phone with customer service, who is not always helpful. My doorbell camera is now not showing images or recording and when I call customer service, I spent over 30 mins deleting the camera and then trying to restart it. To only find out that maybe it is a software update issue, because adding back the camera fails. So instead, I have to wait for two hours for the system to update (even though it should do updates automatically). Then call back so they can help me add back my camera.
It is ridiculous that I have to spend all my free time in the evenings trying to fix a problem that I am not familiar with, when I think having a technician come out to fix it would be faster and more successful, but of course that is an additional $50. To me the camera looks broken as half of it doesn't show an image and the color is way off, but again I cannot request a new product, until I spend hours resetting, removing and adding of this camera. Meanwhile, I am paying for a faulty product.

I rented a brand new apartment with Vivint installed. I’ve been here a week and Vivint does not work. The thermostat is offline and I can’t control the temperature. What’s more alarming is that Vivint randomly UNLOCKS the front door. It’s unnerving to arrive home finding the door unlocked and to wake up in the morning with the door unlocked. The help desk ran me through the same trouble shooting steps twice, but that didn’t resolve the problems. I finally insisted that they send a technician to replace the faulty equipment. For now, I disconnected the power from Vivint, which stopped the door from unlocking, but the separate manual thermostat still doesn’t control the temperature.

I have had Vivint for almost two years now. It started off great. Love the options provided and the app is fantastic. However, we recently moved. Upon reinstall a little over a month ago, our garage constantly goes in and out of connection with the system. It happens anywhere from 12-18 times a day. Every time it occurs, it then alerts me that my garage door is open (when it’s not) and doesn’t allow us to open or shut our garage. Most of the time; I don’t even know if my house is actually secure. Now, I get that issues occur, but it hasn’t worked since install and I’ve reached out the company multiple times.
Each time, the techs walks me through the same reset, etc. and nothing fixes it. They have yet to offer a tech to come fix it free of charge so I’m writing a review because I’m tired of my home security system not working. It’s not hard to be a great company, but they just aren’t willing to spend the money on the customer service side of things. It’s sad honestly.

STAY AWAY!!! This company is ridiculous. First, they make you sign a 5 YEAR contract, which is beyond crazy. Second, if something ever breaks and you need a replacement then you have to pay the $49 service fee to have a technician come out and replace it. Every. Single. Time. Lastly, we deiced to cancel after 6 years (well after our contract ended) and it's not a simple process nor do they tell you all the details. You can't just call and cancel, you have to send an email and then it won't be cancelled for 30 DAYS, yeah you read that right 30 days and you still have to pay the monthly fee for the month that you don't even want their services for and when your service is finally cancelled after 30 days you only get a partial refund of the monthly fee you paid AFTER you cancelled your account. If you cancel something it should be cancelled right away not a whole 30 days later. This company is a joke!

When we first got Vivint everything was great, but everything has really started to go downhill. First our panel constantly says it’s not charging-but it wasn’t a huge deal since we have it wired into the house. Our cameras would routinely go offline, but restarting the panel usually fixed the issue per their troubleshooting process. Now, for almost a month, our garage door opener tied to our Vivint service hasn’t been working and both our doorbell camera and outdoor camera have been offline for DAYS and a reboot in the panel isn’t working this time.
We called Vivint with the issue and asked to cancel service since it is a bit pricey, but we were told the equipment is NOT Vivint’s and is from a 3rd party and that we were under contract-This was not something disclosed to us when we originally signed up for service and the tech didn’t tell us we were signing a contract. So now we are stuck paying for really expensive equipment and HAVE to pay it off before Vivint will allow us to cancel service. Just to put it into perspective, we have been paying for a doorbell cam, outdoor cam and two garage openers for over a year and our balance on the equipment is almost $600. The Vivint account manager we spoke to was not sympathetic at all and wouldn’t offer a refund for the issues we have had this month and offered us a $25 account credit “for our troubles”. He also offered to send our a Vivint tech, but I don’t understand how they are able to service equipment that isn’t their’s?
If you are on a budget, I would suggest doing a LOT of research before picking a monitored home security system. Once we get the money to pay off the equipment, we will definitely be canceling service and looking for a better service that is more affordable and more knowledgeable about their service and equipment.

When I contacted customer loyalty, they called me a liar (legit) saying I had those services in my house and that they were sending a tech to my home to see if I was lying (I was not). Vivint offered me a refund after they found out I was not lying and 5 dollars lol (legit) for my troubles.
I had asked to cancel their services since they hadnt held up their end of the contract. Their car guard service has never worked from day one and they continue to take payment for it. They told me I cannot cancel my services and that I have to keep up my end of the contract, even though they havent held up theirs. They're thieves! They want your money! And you're basically paying 100 dollars a month for a quick link to 911. They dont monitor anything because if they did, they would know my vehicles were not protected.

I have only written one negative review in my life. This one is worse. Read along with me. I went with Vivint for our home security for the smart home integration and the fact that they would do all the installation for us. Reviews were mixed, but, ultimately… they seemed like they had strong technology. I was willing to spend the premium to have the work completed and everything integrated into a single system. Once the sales guy scheduled our installation, that’s when the fun begins. Had to have them come out three separate times to get it right (before the most recent issues, which would make it 4 trips) – total of 6 hours of installation.
The first installation, they told me they couldn’t install the doorbell because there was no power outlet available (seems odd that’s necessary and annoying they didn’t ask about this over the phone) and couldn’t install the door lock because of what was currently there (a door handle integrated with a door lock). So, we rescheduled to have those items resolved. He left. About 10 minutes after he left, we noticed that the A/C wasn’t blowing cold air. We called him and asked him to come back. When he arrived, he claimed he knew the issue and it was a quick solution. He went out and decided to “jump start” the A/C by hitting the fan with a stick (seriously, I supplied him with a broom stick). It didn’t work.
Fast forward 45 minutes, and he eventually called someone and they had him downstairs rewiring something by the furnace. Still not sure what he did down there, but, it ended up working, so, we dismissed it. I should note at this point, we have a very nice home that was a rebuild in 2002, so new electrical, plumbing, etc. We bought this house about 2 months ago and obviously had it fully inspected, including a separate inspection on the HVAC system – A/C, water heater, and furnace… everything was working fine. Prior to the second installation appointment, we hired an electrician to run an outlet right inside the front door.
On the day of the second installation, I removed the current door handle so they could install the new lock, since they couldn’t do that part. They cancelled the appointment the day of and couldn’t reschedule for another two days. Therefore, we had nothing there for the next two days – no door lock and no door handle TO THE FRONT DOOR OF OUR HOUSE. (The irony of wanting a security system and getting a front door that won’t close/lock, is rather amusing). The next month or so, the system operated fairly well, although, we did have issues with the door lock not locking completely and one of the door sensors. Up until this point… all things I can deal with. But, the next part is where I have lost my mind.
My wife and I took a trip for 5 days. When we came back from our trip, Fall had hit and it was time to turn the furnace on for the first time in our new home. Turned the Vivint supplied thermostat to heat and… nothing. No power to the fan, no heat, nothing. So, I called my HVAC contractor. They came out, charged the $99 service fee, and tested everything to determine the error was occurring from the thermostat. He said he could fix it by installing a Nest and manually turned on the furnace, which was blowing warm air. I told him that Vivint will make it right. I called Vivint and explained everything. We spent the next 48 minutes on the phone troubleshooting the thermostat, which required a number of tools. They told me they could send a new thermostat out and it would BE HERE IN 7-10 DAYS. Yes. You’re reading that correctly.
They screwed up the installation of my system, made me troubleshoot it, and then told me that I would have to wait a week in my 55 degree house before they would ship me a new device that I would have to then INSTALL BY MYSELF. It doesn’t stop here. I was able to talk them into shipping the device to me in two days. It arrived today and I called them to help walk me through the installation. First time I called, it was a 15 minute wait time. It disconnected after 10 minutes. Called back. Another 15 minute wait time. Finally get a hold of them and we start the nightmare. Fast forward 1 hour and 13 minutes later (I’ll save you the details) and the same issue is still occurring. After nearly begging, they agreed to have an employee (i.e. independent contractor) come out to resolve the issue the following day.
Guess what? I get a text (not a call) that they will be coming out in two days. So, we will now be heading into 5 days without heat in our home. We have no heat and the low temperature tonight is 38 degrees. BECAUSE OF VIVINT. I just called them and the wait time was 15 minutes to talk to someone. I asked for supervisor. That was another 15 minute wait time. He got on the line and told me he needs to make a call to another department. At 30 minutes now. Add that to the clock. This is an ongoing issue and has not been resolved. My total time spent on this issue? 10+ hours.

The installer was professional, polite, friendly and knew exactly what he was doing. The system is top quality. I am pleased with the service, the quality of the equipment and the skill of the technician who installed the system. I feel the system makes my home safer and more convenient.

I have never received referral credit on any of my four accounts I have in my name. Also when I sold one my location. Vivint purposely has the new owner create a new account versus doing a take over so vivint could make money by charging half of my contract and charge the new monthly service fee on top of it.

Great job by the technicians Mathew! Super knowledgeable, respectful, and polite! He was on time, and finished before his expected time. He walked my two adult children and I through the entire system. I would recommend the system and to ask for Mathew to be your technician.

Phone order was surprisingly easy, and much shorter than expected. The in home install portion wasn't bad as most of my equipment was already installed but like anything service oriented the tech that came out to do our install was what made the whole experience. He was great, friendly, knew how to interact with people, knew when to talk and when not too. A rather pleasing experience, all things being equal.
