    Most of our experience with Vivint has been good, and our service package includes a door pad, lock and unlock, thermostat, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, motion detector, and a camera. Vivint's representatives had been fine. The installation team kind of overlooked something in the very first night, so they had to come back out and fix that. But when they had been here, they had been very polite and very thorough.

    We're presently having trouble with one of the smoke detectors and we went through trying to get it to connect to the panel and it did for 24 hours and then it's offline and I haven't psyched myself up to call them again and say I'm still having trouble with it. We went through fixing it with them over the phone for 45 minutes and it included climbing up and checking it and changing the batteries and then going back up. And for five times, my husband had to climb up on the ladder to get to it and we're not doing that again. They tried to get most of the work done by phone and that is kind of hard to do at our age. We need somebody to come out and fix it.

    Vivint is in our one business and we liked them so much that we put them in our home. We opened up another business and we’ve put Vivint in it as well. So, we have it in three locations. The features are good. I just wish that they could put more cameras in one panel. The techs said that they’re coming out with where you can put 12 cameras on one panel, but you can only put six cameras on one panel and if you want more than six cameras, you have to have two panels, which I wish that they could just put 12 cameras on one panel. Other than that, I’ve had two different reps and those are the only two reps that I want and I like them. They know what they’re doing, they treat me well and they go out of their way. I'm very happy with them. Overall, Vivint is worth it and I'd tell my friends to get them.

    Vivint advertises that you can get service in as little as 1 to 2 days depending on your area but what they refrain from telling you is it can take 3 months. We signed up and paid for our sign up just for them to message us to tell us it'll be 3 weeks. We wait 3 weeks and the day the technician was finally supposed to come he's a no-show. 20 minutes after he supposed to be here we get a call no voicemail nothing. So we call Vivint and ask them what the deal. They said it was a family emergency and now we have to wait an additional 8 weeks before the technician can come out and hook our service up. All in all it would have been a total of 3 months after we have paid and still had no service.

    If that's the way they are was hooking your service up how do they treat customers that have technical difficulty. Do they have to wait 3 months for them to come service it? Really saddens me that I was excited about all the perks in this and that the technician say they can do what. Yeah that would be nice if they'd actually come hook up your service. By the way when you're scheduling for them to come don't expect to speak with anybody. It's all over text and it's pretty rude quite frankly.

    Installation tech was an absolute NIGHTMARE!!! During his time at my house he tracked in debris from outside, let one of my cats outside after I had closed them off from him. He opened that door any constantly kept letting them out so I had to keep rounding them up to keep him from letting them outside. Damaged my screen door and didn't say anything until I pointed it out. Then his response was "I'll just file a damage report", not oh let me see, or I'm sorry. Then I later discovered he had scratched a car parked in my driveway with the equipment in his tool belt.

    He asked to borrow a charger cord for his phone. I lent it to him and then witnessed him roll it up and put it in his pocket when he was done with it. I had to ask him for it back. He did not properly set up my system either. He did not program an entry/exit delay and a week later I discovered he did not enable one of my window sensors. But here's the capper, I contacted Vivint and reported the incident and filed a claim for damage to the door and vehicle. I was told that a manager was contact me within 24 hrs to speak with me about my installation woes, that was over a week ago! I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend this product due to poor customer service alone.

    A young man doing a neighborhood survey came to our house and he was amazing. I got Vivint and then the installation guy came. He was alone, stayed here about two hours, did what he needed to do, and he was gone. Recently, another young man came and was supposed to upgrade the system but he didn't have any of the abilities of the first installer. So they ended up sending out a second person. It was a young woman and she went through it. She said that it was easy and everything was in place. Then she even took out some of the old stuff for me because Vivint wasn't the first system we had. Vivint is better than our previous system and fairly easy to use. All in all, Vivint has been good and they follow through.

    On March 7, 2018, we were sold a Vivint Home Security and a U-verse package; The Vivint employee sold us a combined package for $150.00. The offer would remain in place for the next five years. We asked our Vivint/AT&T Representative (not sure which at this point) a number of times what the catch was, we were assured that there was not one, it was promotional between the companies etc… It soon became apparent that was not the case, AT&T knew nothing about it and although we had been signed up for Uverse, the bill was high and we had to negotiate ourselves a new deal which will only last one year not five, at a cost of which was promised for the combined Security/Uverse package.

    We immediately called Vivint to get answers; we called March 19, 2018 5:27 PM. We were on the phone for 20 minutes, we called again on April 10th at 4:50 PM for 11 Minutes, and again on April 14th at 5:12 PM for 22 minutes. I called on April 16th 2018 at 5:59 PM. I was on the phone for an hour; I explained the situation asking that Vivint come collect their equipment, as we no longer want anything to do with it. At which point I was told, “To go up and down the street and sell it to someone else!” I spoke to four different people, lastly speaking with a “Supervisor” who said she would get a hold of our Representative, resolve the issue and send us an Email. We have yet to receive an Email, we have sent out multiple letters, still no one has contacted us with any intent to resolve the issue, only to extract payment. The equipment itself is not working correctly, the doorbell camera is out, all we want is the equipment collected and our money refunded.

    They sold me equipment that did not work. Took them 3 months to come back and try to fix it. They could not get it to work so they took the equipment. 6 months later I only received half of my money back. Also the customer service that Vivint is horrible. They transfer you around until you hang up so they don’t have to deal with your problems. My car was vandalized and could not get the recording so I guess I bought the security system for nothing. They don’t even monitor it. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a company.

    We got the window sensors, the inside sensor, the smoke detector and the camera based on the recommendation by the installer. I thought it was a good idea especially for the area that we live in. I’m a truck driver so I’m not at home everyday and I wanted to make sure my family is secure. The sales representative also perfectly explained to me everything regarding all the questions that I had regarding the cameras.

    I love the Sky panel where you put the code. It’s nice and cool. We've been with Vivint for four months and the service has been perfect. It's good and I like it. I even recommended it to my friends. I showed them how clear the cameras are and how easy it is to get access from my phone to activate the AC and control my temperature, to look at the cameras outside and see who's there and who's not there. They were very impressed, especially with the price. They have a different company and they said I'm paying less than they are.

    I would like to relate my Vivint experience to you. I recently moved to a new city and one of my first priorities for my new home was a state of the art security system. On 5 June 2018 I met with a Vivint salesman named Jonah at my home. He was exceptional. He did a great job explaining both the product and options. He definitely applied no pressure when I asked to think about it and he agreed to return. On Wednesday 6 June 2018, after some independent research which indicated Vivint was the only company to offer the level of technology I desired, I signed a smart home contract for equipment and monitoring and was excited to be a Vivint customer.

    Later that afternoon, a young lady named Deanna came to install my equipment and my excitement grew. She was extremely professional and courteous and did an excellent installation. She took time to explain the products to include the phone app and left with me feeling very confident in my choice and with my new system. I even called several friends and family members to relate my experience and recommend your company. I was asked by E-Mail to fill out a survey on both of these employees and rated them highly!!!

    On Thursday night at 12:42 am I got a notification on my smart phone that my front door had opened and closed and triggered an alarm. At 12:44 I was contacted by a Vivint employee indicating that I had an active alarm and that she had tried to make contact with me over the Vivint Sky Control Panel. I explained that I live by myself and that I was away from home in another city. The young lady indicated she would dispatch the police and I asked her to please keep me informed.

    At 1:01 am I received a notification on my phone that someone had rung my Vivint doorbell. I assumed it was the police and I sat waiting for further communication. It never came. No one from Vivint ever contacted me. I sat 150 miles away and had no idea the nature of the alarm or the status of my home. At approximately 2:15, I called the Vivint Customer Service number, talked to a young man who explained I would need to talk to Monitoring and put me on hold to transfer me. After several minutes waiting, I was disconnected.

    At that point, I took matters into my own hands and contacted a friend to go check on my house. Apparently the alarm was a false one and my friend indicated all was good. I also contacted the local Police and they indicated that officers had been dispatched, responded at approximately 1:00 am and found every thing apparently OK. I asked them if they had relayed that information to Vivint Security and they indicated they had had no contact with anyone at Vivint since the initial request for dispatch and that no one at Vivint had done any follow up to find out if the alarm was real or false.

    At that point I was quite frustrated, but knowing my home was secure, I decided it could wait until morning. At 8:45 am I called Vivint Customer Service. After explaining my concerns, I was told I would again have to talk to Monitoring, was placed on hold, and after just a few seconds I was cut off. I waited a couple of minutes to see if anyone would call me back and then I called again. I talked to someone totally new in Customer Service, explained my problem all over again, was put on hold for Monitoring and again was disconnected.

    At this point I was beyond frustrated. I again waited a few minutes to see if anyone would call back. They did not, and I know they had the number as they had both used it to verify my identity before putting me on hold. I left to go with family to our planned activities and to discuss with my children what they thought I should do next. I also received another E-Mail from Vivint asking for surveys both in response to the alarm and with my most recent customer service experience, and you can imagine my ratings were anything but positive.

    About 3:25 pm on Friday 8 June, 2018 as I was driving home, I called Vivint Customer Service and explained that I had decided to exercise my 72 hour option and cancel my contract. I had decided I could not trust the security of my home or myself to a company that did not seem to be interested in my safety. I was transferred, this time successfully and had to begin the explanation process again. This young man was fairly pleasant and told me I would have to send an E-Mail to a specific address expressing my desire to cancel and to include my service number both of which he would provide me verbally. I explained that I was driving and talking hands free and asked him if he could text the service number and the E-mail address to me as I couldn’t write anything down. He said certainly and verified my phone number. I told him thank you and hung up. Of course, the text never came.

    Once I got home, I again called Customer Service, again explained the entire situation and also my desire to opt out. This young man did indicate he was sorry and offered me three months free monitoring if I would like to stay a Vivint customer. With my first monitoring experience being less than stellar, I turned down his offer. I finally got him to give me both my service number and the e-mail address required to complete the cancellation process. He explained at that time that someone would contact me to schedule an appointment to remove the equipment. At 5:12 on 8 June 2018, I sent the required E-Mail to complete the cancellation process.

    For thirteen days since sending the cancellation E-Mail, I have not had any contact or received any correspondence from anyone at Vivint. On Friday 22 June, 2018, I received a letter via E-mail from Todd stating that "we (Vivint) have made numerous attempts to contact you at the telephone number you provided to arrange for the removal of the alarm system. Because you have not responded to any of our attempts to contact you, we are notifying you of our intention to hold you responsible for the cost of the equipment listed on your contract, $1,974.42. This amount was also listed in the cancellation notice sent to you."

    You can imagine my surprise. First, no one has tried to contact me and my phone log shows I have received no calls from any number identified as a Vivint number and T-Mobile has agreed to provide a complete record of all calls to my number since the date I requested cancellation if need be. In addition, no cancellation notice has ever been sent to me and as I stated previously, I have received no contact or communication of any kind from anyone from Vivint since I requested cancellation of my contract on 8 June 2018. I responded to Todd’s E-mail and expressed that I found the content of his letter and his tone to be unacceptable, unprofessional and untrue, but that it was unfortunately in keeping with what I have recently learned to expect from the Vivint company.

    That in itself is a shame since I had such a positive initial experience with sales and installation and felt that the Vivint equipment was a perfect match to my needs. Unfortunately, In the entire time I contacted Vivint regarding my monitoring issues on 7 and 8 June, my cancellation request on June 8th, and of course the correspondence I received today, and despite multiple negative reviews, no representative from Vivint has reached out to say anything. Every bit of contact has been initiated by me except for today’s letter which was absolutely insulting. Almost everyone else I have talked to from Vivint Customer Service has been curt and disinterested and hasn’t followed through with anything they said.

    Can’t begin to describe how disappointed I am at the actions and in most cases the lack thereof from a company who publicly expresses their desire for an "exceptional customer experience." This kind of treatment certainly doesn’t comply with Mr. ** advice to a young college dropout that said, “...if you’re going to run a company, you have to provide the best service you possibly can for your customers.”

    Our salesman, Jonny, got in the door promising “free” products for us to be a demo/test home. All we had to do was leave a good review. He was informed MULTIPLE times that I did NOT want to replace any of the security equipment (door/window sensors, etc...) that I already had. He was informed what type of system we had and said it was 100% compatible.

    Later that night when the tech arrived to install our panel, we discovered that Johnny had added on door and window sensors that were NO part of what we agreed to or what he had written down. He didn’t even get an accurate count of what would need to be “replaced”. The techs started to install the panel and drill holes, confident it would work, but without even knowing if the system was compatible. They had to ask their supervisor, but decided to drill holes anyways. In the end, it wasn’t compatible, and I canceled service right then and there.

    The next day, Johnny must have gotten word because he starts to harass me via text message, and I had to call customer support to get them to get him to stop.

    A week later, same tech shows up to remove the panel. He left a mess on my floor and did the WORST job patching the holes because he came unprepared. His drywall sparkle had dried up. When I confronted him he said confirmed he came unprepared and said I’d have to figure the rest out.

    The install and first few months were problem free. Then we began having issues with the back door camera not working or showing. We telephoned customer service and were able to get it back online but, it's always short lived, it's currently down. Next issues is the panel connection. We have to constantly reconnect at least once every other week or sooner. Last and most recent issue. While the tech was at our home a couple of weeks ago, they set the alarm off by accident. My neighbor telephoned me approximately 20 minutes after she'd left to inform me the police had come to my front door and walked around the house.

    We were home and the doorbell never rang. Vivint called five minutes later and informed us the police had come out. Really? No one thought to call us before that time? She was shocked to learn it was their tech that set off the alarm. What if it'd been an emergency? We're really considering discontinuing our service with them. Thankfully, we purchased our equipment from BestBuy and we don't have a contract. We're quite dissatisfied with the service thus far. I want to keep the service but some changes need to occur.

So far, the service and the features of the system have been good. It's easy to operate. My camera goes in and out but it has to do with the internet out in our area and not with Vivint.

    The technician was busy talking on his phone as he was installing the equipment. His personal business should of been done after the installment. He was discussing his other job that he has and was not staying focused on his job at hand. As of right now the front door is not working correctly. There are time the system will announce that the door is not locked. This is worrisome. I have called and asked for this to be looked in to and have not been called back.

    After we signed a contract, we were out on our own. Customer service is non-existent! The product is inferior with a wifi security system that has wires with each device, the camera was never 'fit' to show who was at the front door, 'it needed a wedge', the kitchen panel for additional view at the front door could not be installed, just plugged in and sitting on a box. I understand the tech did not want to drill into the granite, but I am sure we are not the only customers like that, but there was no back up plan. It took almost 2 months to have the equipment removed and when I had the former security come over to reinstall their service, he could not because he could 't determine what the tech did/or what they removed by Vivint. I set up an appointment to have Vivint tech at my house the same time so one could show the other what to do - VIVINT NEVER SHOWED UP, NOR DID THEY CALL TO SAY THEY WOULD NOT BE THERE.

    What a totally unprofessional company. I am sure the owner of Vivint would not accept this type of service and equipment. It is inferior. AND now it is going to cost us several hundreds of dollars to get our security company back up and running. The techs, after installation, left all the boxes and trash in my foyer and kitchen. REALLY?!! I have never experienced a company who doesn't clean up after themselves. (See pix) The only pix I did not take were of the units plugged into the walls. Vivint should be ashamed to put signs up that they are a security system.

    I've had them out a number of times to figure out why my cameras stop working. This included my doorbell. The original installer did a pretty good job. Then it was downhill. My cameras and my doorbell would stop working at different times for no reason. I have a ring doorbell, patio and shed mounted cameras. The shed camera and the doorbell always have problems. I had an appointment between 10 and 12. Guy never showed up. Called company and canceled. At 1:30 that afternoon he show support! No one told him the appointment was canceled.

    I set up another appointment. New tech comes out and plugs in three signal boosters throughout my house, and replaces doorbell. Spends an hour rebooting system. Doorbell works but not shed. He goes out and says the original tech should never have put the camera on the shed. He says he can moved the camera to my house but I would need another camera for $195 for the same area coverage! He leaves and both shed and doorbell are not working AGAIN! A few hours later the shed camera works but still no doorbell. The phone app does not work to reset cameras. I do it from the panel and everything works. Then a few hours later it's off again. I don't even arm it anymore because now the door sensors and garage sensor don't work all the time. I am going to cancel my service.

    When I moved to Raleigh, I was getting my cable set up and part of the cable package was Vivint. I was trying to get to a price point so I got a keyless entry, sensors on doors and windows, and motion sensors. So far, I'm mildly satisfied. I've had to get my keypad fixed twice. I've had to have service out once and yesterday they had to reset it and they did that remotely this time. They advertised automatic door locks but when you start putting the package together, you'd quickly find out that all of that doesn't go with the package, it's extra. So, I was a bit disappointed in that.

    Also, I did not have a good experience with the sales rep. He got my name, my address and the features wrong. So, when the people were calling me for service that we had set up, they couldn't find me. The lady that did the installation was really nice but she had been working since 8 o'clock in the morning and it was 9 o’clock at night. I asked her all kind of questions, some of the things she knew and some of the things she didn't. The second installer who came out was very knowledgeable and he was able to smooth things over. I was more pleased at that point.

    My mailbox is situated next to our front door where the doorbell camera is installed, Some days, the letter carrier is captured, most days that person is not captured, I am not able to see my daughter coming from school every day unless she rings the bell, the camera is supposed to capture as soon as it detects a moving object or visitor within the customized radius and believe me, we set up the radius to the maximum width and nothing, we use our mail carrier proximity to our door every day as a way to tell how well the doorbell camera works. The iOS app doesn't alert you when the camera is disconnected, keeping the Vivint doorbell camera connected and working has been a nightmare, I would call Vivint technical support and they would have me reset the doorbell camera over and over, it works fine for a few days and the issue returns.

    The main reason why we installed a security system with a doorbell camera is because we believed it was reliable and will make our home secure not matter where we are, they also offered to replace or repair any malfunctioning device but they did not say it was for an additional cost. The camera is supposed to capture images of people coming on to the property, but our camera does not consistently capture anyone that comes near my front door, one night we left something in our mailbox to be picked up by a family member, we waited for the doorbell camera to alert us and record that it was in fact picked up and by who was picked up, well we only found out who picked up the package because we called not because out camera alerted us there was someone picking up a package from my front door!

    At this point we do not feel secure with the Vivint security system, we do not think it is reliable and we want to get out of the contract. I am thinking on hiring a lawyer and maybe filling for a Class Action Law Suit will bring Vivint to be accountable for false and misleading advertising and scamming its customers, also for not complying or failing to explain all the inclusions and exclusions in their contract. I opened my door for them, I trusted them, I installed their solar panels and their security system. We feel used and taken advantage of. I have never suit anyone and I am not looking to get easy money, after all the similar reviews I think something should be done.

    I needed a security system and a friend of mine said she was using Vivint and she liked it. But I’m totally dissatisfied with all of my experiences with Vivint. My control panel stopped working for multiple months. Nobody contacted me to let me know that the panel wasn’t working. My panel doesn’t communicate to the keypad. And I can no longer use the keypad on the front door. I have to use the key. I’ve had two technicians come out but they haven’t been able to fix the problem. I had to have my camera replaced because it was broken. They sent me a new one. But they didn’t give us credit for the old one. So it’s just been painful.

    I was told that I was gonna have a supervisor call. The supervisor never tried to call me. I don’t even use the service because it doesn’t work. The only thing that works on there is the camera that I can look and see what’s going on. But even the notifications on the phone with camera don’t work. I can lock and unlock the front keypad with my cellphone. But when you go to the keypad to type in the pass code, it doesn’t work. I would never recommend Vivint. My contract stops in September and that’s when I have the option to cancel without penalty. And I just may go ahead and do that.

    I had window breaks, door bell, a driveway camera and two indoor cameras from Vivint. We were using it as monitoring on our young children in the event the baby decided to leave the bed at night. So far, I have already canceled it, it was horrible. When I first got the system it worked well for about eight or nine months. They got a software update through their panels and since then, about November of last year, I started to have major problems with the panels never staying online. A doorbell stopped working and when they sent somebody out, they replaced the doorbell. However, we had packages stolen from our door and the doorbell wasn't recording clips. They sent another tech out to replace the panel, about a week later it started to go offline again continually and the same problems kept repeating.

    They spent about three months sending out techs over and over trying to fix it and it never got fixed. Eventually they said, "Your house is unserviceable, so we're gonna allow you out of your contract and not have to charge you and we'll come pick up our equipment." The technician who was last trying to help me called me since and asked me if I'd be willing to try out their newest panel for free. It transmits and receives differently. I'd be willing to try out the panel but I'm not paying for service. The technician was very helpful and very nice. He is a local guy that's been trained from the mothership. Nevertheless, in terms of my experience with anybody at the mothership, they were always polite with me and they say exactly what I needed to hear to get me off the phone but ultimately the issue was never resolved.

    It's interesting though because when you go online, it says Vivint gets 97% customer satisfaction. But it's because they send a survey out minutes after you get off a phone call with them when you feel perfect and that everything's fine, everything's working. You're happy and they're gonna resolve the issue. But they didn't ever follow up a week or a month later to find out how things are going. They literally give you the second you're at your happiest and then everything falls apart again. And every time I had a really bad phone call with somebody, the calls would just drop. I'd have to call back in and go through the entire customer service process again explaining to a new customer service rep. And then they wouldn't send me the survey, which was odd. They selectively send the survey when they knew you were happy but they don't when they knew you weren't.

    When they finally decided to cancel the service, I asked for a refund from January through March when we were still having all these troubles. I didn't have a security system then so why should I pay for it. They agreed but it took 67 days to get the refund that I was promised in 15. I had to call back in four separate times to get my refund and everybody was very nice saying, "Oh, no problem. I'll put it through." And it didn't happen. So finally, I ended up having to escalate to somebody who deals specifically with the refund and I was able to get my refund under 24 hours. Working with Vivint wasn't my best experience. Their technology is good but their support is horrible. I constantly told the customer service reps over and over again that I have no problem paying for their service as long as it works. So, if someone would ask me about Vivint, I'd tell them to find somebody else.

    We are happy with our experience with Vivint. Prior to getting a security system from them, we already have one. Vivint's salesperson showed us a lot of the items that we didn't have such as the cameras and the doorbell where there's a camera on it. He knew what he was talking about and put us at ease about how to use the system and how easy it is to use. That sold me and my wife into signing up with them. The installer came and his work was very professional. It was less than two hours which was pretty quick. He also didn't make very much of a mess and any kind of mess that he made, he cleaned it up right away.

    However, there are issues about the camera on my phone. I load up my other family members, my wife and my children, but sometimes the camera, which is mostly the doorbell camera, says it's offline or has no pictures and they have to wait a few hours to a day before it actually comes back on again. One of those times that the camera was not working was a while ago when a vandalism was done to my vehicle. If it was working I might have been able to give the police something to go on. Vivint's reps have tried to explain to me over the phone what to do and they even sent a little tiny screw and a screwdriver for me to try and fix it but that didn’t work. I've only had the system for about a year and I've had two cameras replaced because Vivint couldn’t fix them. There was also one time that the alarm itself was not working. But every time I phoned in, I got ahold of somebody who would walk me through it and most of the time it was very good.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They've replaced the cameras and have given me booster boxes but it’s just not good. Perhaps it needs to be a better product, or maybe it shouldn’t be advertised as a door camera but as a stationary camera at your entrance, so it’s on the inside and not in the outside.

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

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

He said he would try resolving the problem online later. After a few days I talked with someone via way of online chat and didn’t get anywhere with them to resolve the problem... It wasn’t until I called and talked to someone threatening to just come and take the whole system out that we finally got the problem fixed.

    When the install was started, my salesman left taking the Notice of Cancellation sheets with him. The next day requested one and he gave it to me. Told him I had second thoughts about the security system. He said to wait. Later I sent him a text saying I had signed the Cancellation Notice. I sent three texts and two phone called and he has NOT responded. Please Advise. Install was on 6/11.

    I was told that the camera had night vision but I realize when it gets dark you lose camera images and you can't see anything (just complete darkness) but other than that everything is well. I'm happy with the service alerts and the whole set up very convenient.

    Installer left a mess of the house and did NO clean up. Left drywall debris and wire clippings on floor and left trash on ground in alley. No respect for our home. Had to schedule three times to pick up equipment. The second time driver said he had car troubles and flat out said he was not coming and I had to call a supervisor to finally get something done.

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

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

    Helen heard about Vivint from a co-worker and she got door and window sensors and a keypad for the home security system. But the alarm just goes off once or twice a month in one bedroom. It says "shattered glass in bedroom one" but there's no shattered glass. But other than that, the service is okay.

    Great system. Very pleased with it and would recommend it to friends and family members. The price is reasonable and I especially love the ability to check on my residence while away from home and especially the enlightening response by the monitoring staff when an alarm is triggered. Well worth it.

    We spoke with Tim **. He explained everything about the system so we understood it. Very pleasant young man. Easy to talk to. Listened and answered all our questions. And the installation young man - I believe his name is Andy - was just as pleasant. Very friendly, great personality, did a great job, installed faster than we thought - very quick and thorough! The whole experience was a rather pleasant one! Enjoyed talking to both of them. I think we will be happy with system. I hope all your employees are as wonderful as the two we got to meet!!! Thank You!!

    Travis ** was the sales associate and he was great. He explained what company was with and why he was here. He was punctual for our follow up appointment later that evening, and he was very informative about the services offered. Jake and Amber ** were our installation technicians. They were fantastic! Very professional and courteous and friendly. They answered all of our questions and finished as quickly as possible. The *only* downside from the whole experience was waiting an hour for a technician to be available after our sales associate left. The technicians arrived around 8:15pm. Since that is somewhat late in the evening, we might have preferred to schedule the installation for the next day.

    The entire experience with Vivint was pleasant, from sales pitch to install. My kids feel so much safer and more empowered with the cameras outside, the easy-to-use emergency services call buttons, and the high-tech smoke detectors. I’ve been given peace of mind and the ability to save time with the accompanying app. My favorite part is being able to answer my doorbell from anywhere within the app! I’m very thankful for Vivint and the security it offers my family.

    The products are good, the installation was to fast and my outside camera was left almost dangling from the wall, the chat customer service was not friendly and basically just said, "Cancel we'll get your money anyways." But we did get a repairman out to attach the camera to the wall and he was awesome, he went over everything checked to make sure all the other equipment was installed right. Make sure to read the cancellation thru a few times cause like the customer service chat told me the only way out is to pay lots of money, maybe I just got the wrong support person but she should be more professional even if she's having a bad day!
