    If I could give zero stars, I would. Yesterday their salespeople came to my door three separate times despite the clearly posted No Soliciting sign. Later, one of them pressured my husband into letting him inside. When I pointed out the sign and told him they should respect it, he completely ignored me. Even worse, he left the door wide open, letting our cats get out. My daughter and I had to stop everything to chase them back into the house while he stood there and laughed. That is not only unprofessional, it’s downright disrespectful. This company clearly does not respect boundaries, does not train their staff properly, and does not care about the impact of their actions on families. If you see them coming, don’t answer the door.

    I had Vivint installed in early 2024. The installation technician was amazing. It was the last good exchange I had with Vivint. The equipment starting failing within 6 months. I sometimes had to reboot the systems up to 6 times a day. They sent technicians several times. Twice the techs couldn't identify the issues. After a year my "free" service was no longer available but I could receive a discounted annual service plan. Otherwise it was $99.00++ if they came out to repair the faulty equipment installed. Part of my my escalating annoyance was the constant upselling every time you'd call for help. I was thinking why would i want to purchase more equipment when what you installed doesn't work!

    The last straw for me is when the thermostat failed and they lied repeatedly about expediting a replacement. In the end they do not offer expedited shipping for any reason. It appears to me that Vivint is one of the highest priced home security systems being offered and do little to support what they sell. Their best effort is sending the monthly invoice like clockwork. I understand that their overall rating is superior. I really do hope that everyone that gave them high marks truly got what they said they received. But for me and my 50+ calls and total lack of online support, I say stay away. It's not worth the money or the headache. If you choose to ignore my review I wish you the very best.

Installation went smoothly and he walked me through every step of how to use my system from the panel and from the app. He showed me how to adjust digital boundaries on the cameras, how to reset codes, etc. It was one of the best installation appointments I’ve had with any company - ever.

    Bought a house with Vivint. Complete circus. Poor and lengthy phone trees, rude and incompetent customer service. With military discount, $45 a month. Ring is $10... Wrong address on contract, had to call a third time. Supposed to be a 14 day trial. They tried to sneak a 3 day trial on the contract of a two year commitment. I called a fourth time and waited on hold for 10 minutes while they tried to get my 14 day trial "approved". I canceled service!

    2. Was led to believe I could add after-market equipment and that is NOT the case at all. Their equipment is (literally) ten times the price of comparable products available on the market.

    As a US Navy Veteran and a current employee of a non-profit, I cannot in good conscience, recommend anyone to do business with any part of this company. Dishonest salesmen backed by very polite and professional customer service and technicians. Don't get hoodwinked.

    Be aware of who you do business with. You will be entering an indentured slave contract signing up for Vivint service. The monitoring service does work but the business practices are terrible. Unless you are making a payment you would not be satisfied with the customer service. They do not want to honor ending the contract unless you buy them out basically.

    When signing up for the service you are not told that you would be getting a bank loan to finance the equipment installed in your home. I found that out after the fact. Had I have known I would have never done it. They will harass you over a late payment and continue to contact you after you've said not to. They don't care about any life events that may happen. They just want you to pay for 5 years worth of their service. If you want anything to happen in your favor you have to insist on speaking with someone who can solve your issue before you get off of the phone. And mind you my last call was 2 hours with Vivint customer service agents. I would of rather bought a dog instead of this service.

I did a calculation and they are basically charging 28% interest to finance. I will say, because we are 65, we were able to cancel our contract.

    This complaint is to detail a recurring and highly concerning business practice by Vivint that has resulted in continuous fraudulent billing attempts and a significant amount of stress. This pattern appears to be a deliberate strategy to delay or prevent account cancellations, negatively impacting customers. I called Vivint to cancel my security system service. The representative I spoke with confirmed my cancellation request and provided verbal assurance that my account would be closed. At this time, I also discussed a refund of certain payments, which the representative agreed to process.

    Despite this confirmation, Vivint failed to process the cancellation. A few weeks later, I received a call from Vivint stating that I owed money for the service, as my account was never canceled. I explained that I had already canceled. The representative acknowledged the error and again stated that they would process the cancellation and the refund.

    This exact scenario has now repeated itself on multiple occasions. Each time, I call Vivint, and a representative confirms that my account will be canceled and any owed money will be refunded. However, the cancellation is never actually processed, and I am subsequently contacted again, now owing for additional months of service.

    The most recent example of this occurred last week. I spoke with a representative who, once again, assured me the account would be canceled. They advised me to call back on Monday to confirm the cancellation. When I called on Monday, a new representative informed me that no cancellation request was ever submitted on the previous call. This directly confirms the pattern of representatives verbally agreeing to a cancellation but failing to process it, presumably to avoid a negative impact on their performance metrics.

    This is not a one-time clerical error; it is a systemic and malicious business practice that is causing me significant frustration and has the potential to ruin my credit score. It is a gross failure of customer service and business ethics. Vivint is deliberately creating a situation where it is impossible for me to cancel my service, leading to continuous and fraudulent billing.

    We regret the day we let the Vivint salesman in our door!! The install was madness, but we already signed the contract so they didn't care. That is not the reason for this particular review. We had the service for 2 years, and decided to sell our home. We paid the equipment off at closing (10/8/24) and also cancelled our service. January 2025 I found they had still been charging a monthly monitoring fee on a credit card we no longer used. Brought to their attention, and they said they weren't made aware of the account being cancelled. We have all the records in our recorded closing documents.

    Mind you, they owe us $$$$ for unapproved debits made on our credit card AFTER we paid off and closed the account, to which they said we will not be refunded, so they stole that money from us. Obviously, I cancelled that card, and now my husband just received this email from Vivint this morning, see photo. Seriously, a year later and they're still trying to steal our money!!!

    I’ve used Vivint before and was very familiar with them however in my new home buying journey, another alarm system was provided by the builder and strongly encouraged to use. I did go with them however, some things were not disclosed about setup. I called Vivint and they assured me of their system and process. I decided to go with them and cancel the other systems but it was past the 3-day cancellation. I let the operator know of my issue and they offered a $500 credit to pay me out of my other contract which didn’t need to be paid back. The install was quick and painless and Jose, my technician, was thorough. I feel safe and secured with Vivint’s home packaging.

    The guys were really nice and informative, they explained everything very well. A little pushy and wouldn’t accept I couldn’t afford it. Finally agreed to a trial. Was told it would look exactly as it was. When they installed it. They drilled a hole in the wall, and just put putty on it. So that is very noticeable, makes me wonder about all the holes they drill how they will look if I decide to not continue after the trial, again I was told it would look exactly how it was before they installed it.

    The other bothersome part, is the deadbolt won’t lock, it just continue to click then say unable to lock, I contacted them. But haven’t had anything confirmed to when they will be here to fix it. They sold me on security. Yet the door won’t lock I’m sure my experience can be extremely different than others.

    I’ve been a loyal Vivint customer since 2007, and I’ve never had a single issue—until I upgraded my system in June 2024. Since then, it has been one frustrating problem after another. The upgraded equipment has been defective from the start. Vivint initially refused to send a technician, even lying about appointments being scheduled. I had to file a BBB complaint just to get the system replaced. Unfortunately, the replacement system began failing again within a month.

    I financed the equipment through a loan, and Vivint has acknowledged the system’s issues. They offered to cancel the loan and refund me what I’ve already paid—but this route results in a 1099-C tax form, meaning I’d owe taxes on equipment that didn’t work and that I no longer even have. I asked for a reasonable alternative: that Vivint refund the full value directly to me so I could pay off the loan myself and avoid a tax penalty. They refused.

    Ironically, they already agreed to refund my out-of-pocket costs directly—which completely contradicts their claim that “all refunds must go through the bank.” Vivint chose the most convenient solution for themselves, and in doing so, pushed a financial burden onto me, their long-time customer. No ownership. No accountability. Just policy over people. Extremely disappointed in how this was handled. I expected more from a company I trusted for nearly two decades.

They acknowledge they made this verbal agreement per call recordings, but say they are not removing the charges because I didn’t call them when I paid the equipment off? I have had the same number and email since I started dealing with them 7 years ago, so closing the account as a non payment issue with no notice seems to be unethical to say the least.

    Our Vivint installer was excellent—very knowledgeable, patient, and careful with his work. Our project was large and took many hours, but he stayed positive, explained everything clearly, and made helpful suggestions throughout. Truly a great experience with him. Overall, Vivint’s service has also been very good so far. From the installer to the agent who helped us, everything has been smooth, prompt, and easy. Since we’re new customers, we’ll see how the service holds up over time, but so far, we’re very happy with how everything has been handled.

    After spending a little time getting familiar with the new system that i purchased I really must say it is amazing. I pulled to the house from working a 16hr shift and had the door unlocked and driveway light on all from my from iPhone. The convenience alone is top tier. The quality of your stream is the best I have had. This is coming from an existing ADT member and I had Arlo prior to Adt. User-friendly app so easy to navigate and this is so important!! The equipment is also very bougie I must say. I am beyond satisfied!! Plus the staff is outstanding!

    Since the misleading manipulating salesmen stepped foot on my property I was lied to with every word he spoke. From that moment on from installation man to every other Vivint employee I talked to I was lied to, manipulated, and had strong-armed with low moral tactics pushed on me by every employee just so they can make a little commission. It’s sick what this companies employees do to communities by coming in with garbage equipment being sold by thug garbagemen supported by low moral having employees on the phone, the app and in person! Since minute one nothing worked right!! It slowed our WiFi down to nothing with us having the only provider with the biggest package in the area but when I asked salesman he promised it could support their garbage equipment!!

    When I call for help they just told me it’s all on me. I should look into getting a better WiFi provider!! Nothing but smoke mirrors and lies to get you pass imaginary lines to trap you paying for equipment that doesn’t even work half as good as the crook salesman showed me on his iPad. All lies. I’m less than 30days in. Asked for cancellation and removal of the equipment since 24hrs in. But no. Lies lies lies and manipulation to get you stuck paying for garbage equipment for service that does not work. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! Horrible horrible business tactics. No customer service while they all lie. This company should face criminal punishment for what they and their employees do to communities!!!

    My customer service rep Steele was amazing at explaining EVERYTHING and applying all discounts possible!! I had a few issues after signing up that were VERY MUCH out of his control. Steele went above and beyond to rectify the situation and get everything taken care of. Steele provided me several updates (upon my request) regarding who my technician was going to be, name, and badge number so that would feel comfortable and know who would be coming to my home. He continued sending updates, even the morning of the install when the technician that was originally scheduled to come changed!! He’s AMAZING!!!!

    Dalton was my technician!! He called when he was headed my way and arrived at the time he stated!!!! The job took about 2 hours!! Dalton was very patient with me being a little indecisive regarding some decisions that I had to make!! He explained everything very well. Additionally, Dalton walked me through how to properly operate my new alarm system, cameras and helped with setting up the app as well!!!! Just a little above and beyond! Dalton saw that the screws in my screen door needed to be tightening, without asking, he hopped right in and fixed that for me. He’s very friendly and so helpful!!! Very knowledgeable about the product as well! 10/10 recommend!!

    I write to review Vivint in Connecticut, and particularly Vivint employee Dave **. The home security business is competitive these days and I've become a bit of an expert over the years. While I'd like to negatively review some of the companies as of late, I do not wish for anything to take away from the spotlight that Vivint deserves, particularly Vivint employee Dave **. Vivint quoted a price, has quality equipment, installed all equipment and stuck to all promises and prices. I was a manager in my career and Dave Boucher is an employee I would have called "a keeper," meaning you want to keep him in the company. First, Dave understands the big picture mission, he knows security systems cold, what you need as a customer and what they have as a company to meet that need. Second, Dave knows the nuts and bolts literally; he was timely at the job and he installed everything, electrical lines, equipment, everything.

    I know DIY is big in this industry, but I preferred a trusted, professional installation and Dave ** did exactly that. Can't stop there, Dave knows the business part too; while installing, he helped with invoices, payments, interface, training in web applications, everything. On top of all that Dave was both professional and pleasant. We appreciate Vivint and Dave and we're happy with our system. Thank you!!!

    I do not recommend Vivint services. I got into a contract with them, had equipment installed, was charged thousands for this equipment over the course of 5 years. I agreed because I was told the equipment would be mine to keep once paid for. The service was spotty and got worse over time. After paying I called to cancel monitoring service they informed me that the equipment is mine but can’t be used without them. So what was the point of me buying it? Customers shouldn’t be paying anything more than a rental fee. Then there are techs coming to the house begging to let them install new equipment promising a free trial but omitting the double tech fees for installation and removal. Do not get entangled with these scammers.

    The tech (Tyler) who came to to do my install was very helpful! He knew his stuff and was able to answer all my questions professionally. My only gripe is that the salesmen told me it was 10 days of recording (not 30 second clips like the other security companies). But that's not necessarily true. That is only on my outside cameras not the indoor cameras unless I upgrade to the more expensive cameras. Also the 10 day recording is only temporary. After a few weeks I lose that, and I would have to pay another subscription to get that feature. It was the big selling point for me and my wife and financing out thats not part of the package was pretty disheartening. I guess the other thing is that the salesman quoted me double the price, it wasn't until after I told him about the other companies I was shopping did he bring the price down to a competive number. Tyler 5/5 stars. Salesman 3/5 stars

    The Vivint Representative was re-canvassing the neighborhood after visiting several weeks prior. She took the time to do a follow-up knock. She took the time to re-explain the benefits of Vivint as compared to other surveillance cameras. The quality of the equipment is impeccable and the price is very affordable.

    Good day, Our experience, as first time clients, we like the system as a whole. However, there are a few things that must be addressed: The salesmen and the technicians should never do any late hour installations within family residences. Especially not during school nights.They shouldn't be in anyone's home past 5 or 6 pm. Families need to eat dinner, do homework, take showers and get ready for the next school day. We agreed to the installation at first, because we thought it would be a quick and easy process, however, it was not that. It affected everyone involved and due to the late hour, everyone was exhausted and I am more than certain that affects the quality of the installation and start up procedures. Please take this into much consideration. Thank you.
