    My tech Mason was amazingly patient. He helped me get exactly what I wanted in my package because more than I had asked for was on my package. He spent probably the first two hours contacting his manager and the sales rep to help fix my account before I made any commitments. When I first set up my technician appointment, I was told a certain price. And when Mason came, he was instructed to do more than I had asked for which would have been a way larger price. If it wasn’t for him, taking the time to hear my concerns and fix the issue I probably would have canceled my set up. He came to do the set up but ended up going above and beyond! 10 stars!

    I should’ve known better when a young kid, a door salesman came to my house wrote down a no money down free equipment just monthly payment skit. We fell for it. 2 months after we found out we were in for $4000 for the equipment. We went back and forth with the company and their salesman. Anyways the sales pitch was all a lie. The cameras were no better than the night owl cameras I already had purchased for $400. Yes there is a fancy app. But too many technical issues. The app is always buffering. I get notifications about a person at my door. But by the time my camera stops buffering and I can actually see the camera the person is already gone.

    The system is not worth the money. My thermostat went out in the middle of the summer and the soonest they could get a technician to my house was two weeks out.. I regret ever letting the salesman into my house. If you have kids, elderly parents or pet pets, you are putting them all at risk during the winter or the summer with no heat or no AC due to all the technical issues and delayed response (2 weeks). Buy your own Cameras at Costco or Sam’s.

    This is the worst service I ever had. Very pricey, and the thermostat that was supposed save me money doubled my light bill. Had to call my ac/furnace guy do to other issues with it. They have been giving me the runaround for overc2 months. Hate this service, also my cameras freeze a lot and don't record right. Tech didn't fix, been waiting for a return label on thermostat for over 2 weeks. But they make sure they get there money. This happened 3 days after our trail period was over.

    I had my security system installed today by DJ and it was such a great experience. I am new to the home security as I just purchased my first home. DJ was amazing in explaining all the different options, equipment, and monitoring that was available. He answered all my questions and was very attentive and truthful, especially about the monetary aspect. I can’t comment on the Vivint security on a monthly basis as I just started but if it’s anything like the installation process, I’m sure I will be very satisfied. I was going back and forth with just using the Ring system that was already installed vs resetting and using Vivint, and I’m so glad that I went this route. If you’re on the fence about using Vivint, I’m telling you from my personal experience, go with Vivint and ask for DJ if you’re allowed to. He was amazing!!

    I was a Vivint customer for over 3 years and then sold my home. I called to have them cancel my account and I moved to another state. Many months later, they are calling and texting me telling me that I have a balance due. I discussed the entire situation and they agreed to clear my balance, and install a new system at my new home. We scheduled the installation, only for Vivint not to show up. Two months later, they are calling and texting again saying that I owe a balance. I regret ever agreeing to go with Vivint. Their customer service is substandard and flippant at times. They had a chance and they basically told me how much customers are valued with Vivint.

    I recently had Vivint install security cameras, a doorbell camera, and a thermostat in my home. The team was professional, and the camera system itself works well, providing the security coverage I was hoping for. However, the thermostat installation was a serious issue. Vivint installed a unit that was incompatible with my newer Lennox HVAC system, and the wiring was done incorrectly—missing several essential connections. As a result, my air conditioning completely stopped working, leaving me without cooling during 99°F outdoor temperatures and an indoor temperature of 96°F. I had to urgently purchase a portable AC unit just to stay cool overnight until my HVAC company could replace the thermostat the next day. This emergency fix with purchasing the portable ac was one cost, but the replacement of the new thermostat, cost me an additional $1,917.

    I strongly urge anyone considering Vivint’s thermostat installation to first consult with their HVAC provider. Their technicians may not be familiar with newer systems, and improper wiring can lead to serious discomfort, safety concerns, and unexpected expenses. Additional concerns: I believed I had requested an extra camera for one side of my house, which was not installed or included. I plan to follow up with Vivint to resolve this. My home is a standard ranch-style brick house with a typical roof, yet the team was unable to run wiring through the attic. Instead, they routed wires along interior walls. While they mentioned using tracks to conceal them, the final result is unattractive and unfinished.

    I’m now considering hiring licensed electricians to redo portions of the installation to ensure everything is safe and up to code—adding even more cost. While I’m happy with the camera system’s performance, these issues have made me question the overall quality and safety of the installation. I hope others can learn from my experience and take extra steps to verify compatibility and installation standards before moving forward.

    We were required to obtain a home security system to continue our home insurance coverage through The Hartford. After checking reviews, we had a Vivint security system installed. The people who installed it were capable. When we had a problem with a water detection part, they replaced the part but we had to pay for postage. When we switched from The Hartford to Allstate, the security system was no longer required. I placed a call today to cancel service (the only way to cancel Vivint) and paid per the contract 50% of the remaining charges. It took 70 minute on the phone to pay $110 to cancel the service. This business model is absolutely terrible! Although the service may be good, we never activated it. The cancellation policy experience was so bad that we will never return to Vivint although we own the equipment. Look somewhere else if you want a service-related company.

Vivint’s setup was impressive—their technician walked me through the smart cameras and doorbell, and it’s been seamless checking on my place from my phone, even when I’m traveling for work. The app is intuitive, and the alerts give me peace of mind. The only issue is the contract feels a bit long for my liking, which knocked off a star. Still, their system has been a real asset for keeping my home safe!

    I decided on Vivint security system after doing my research online then spoke with a few companies and Vivint stood out. The customer service representative literally helped me step by step, showing no frustration or irritation when I didn’t understand something. Patience and kindness goes a long way. Especially when the person you’re talking to has dementia. The gentleman that installed the equipment was the same. Even gave me a beautiful compliment acknowledging my kindness towards him. No matter what, I didn’t understand or how many times he had to repeat himself, he did it graciously. The prod, service and pricing was worth the choice. Highly recommended.

    While Vivint has a decent product it definitely comes with its share of negatives. We had Vivint Service for a few years and then added on our home. When we had the tech come out (because it is not self user friendly and requires a tech) he said we had to upgrade the main screen/board to add more than 2 cameras. At this time, the cameras we had, the clarity was not very good. So we added the 2 cameras and continued service. A year or two later in 2023 we wanted clearer cameras and went with Ring & Reo to get the most for our money and tossed the old Vivint technology in the trash. Called Vivint and cancelled service (or so we thought). They said it has to run until September 2024 per our contract. Okay whatever! Not good but if we had a 3 year contract ok.

    Fast forward to today, still getting billed monthly (no bills come email or mail) and today I called again to find out this thing is still on a month to month loop even after contract expiration & termination! What a scam! I called to cancel service again today 1 year later (50 minutes of my life I will never get back). It said the call would be recorded. Okay how about the other call we made to cancel 1-1/2 years ago, was that not recorded? The Rep today said they could not credit (even though we do not have the hardware or service) and would get one more monthly bill! What a horrible company! Do not contract with this company! These loop contracts are such a scam! How about as a company just do better!

The first time he came he walked into my kitchen where I was cooking. Instead of taking a seat on a chair. (my partner let him in) Super weird and was right next to me as I was cooking. Very uncomfortable experience. Not only that my partner's credit isn’t good so when they ran mine he got cocky and his responses became inappropriate.

    I asked a question regarding how the credit check works and he told me “you don’t need to know that” extremely dismissive! Then proceeded to say “actually it is a valid question”. How rude, any question I have is a valid question. If you don’t know the answer to my question just say that. I was having a bad day and him invading my space in the kitchen, his weird snappy comments led me to pulling my partner aside and having a conversation about this person’s actions.

    We came back out and I told him how I felt. I’m not happy the way I reacted but he really pushed me to my limit. I told him to please stop with the snappy comments. I’m very disappointed we gave him the sale and wish it was a different salesperson. The product itself is great and something my partner has been wanting to have installed so he’s excited about this.

    I’ve never had a more frustrating experience trying to cancel a service. I was a long-term Vivint customer with a paid equipment plan—this wasn’t a lease or rental. I owned the system outright and left it with the house I sold six months ago as part of the sale. I made it clear to Vivint that I no longer live at the property, no longer want any home security service, and that the system was paid for and left behind for the new homeowners. Despite that, they continued to push me to transfer the account or install new equipment at my current residence. I repeated multiple times: I do not want new equipment. I do not want to transfer anything. I just want to cancel this subscription. That message was ignored.

    Instead of honoring my cancellation request, I was pressured to provide the buyer’s name and phone number—which I do not have—and even asked who sold the house for me, which is irrelevant. After 20 minutes on the phone, they still wouldn’t cancel. I was told I had to send an email to initiate cancellation—after already explaining everything in detail. For reference, the service number provided during my cancellation attempt was **.

    Vivint needs to make cancellation straightforward and stop putting the burden on customers to do their legwork. I should not be responsible for tracking down strangers just to stop being billed for a service I no longer use. I will not be recommending this company to anyone. Final takeaway: If you’re considering this service, be prepared for a smooth onboarding and a nightmare exit. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who values their time, sanity, or basic transparency

    We had been long term customers of Vivint for 9 years. We decided to transfer service when we moved to a new town. We asked about their ability to provide monitoring service in this new smaller town, they said they absolutely could, but informed us it would be best to purchase new updated device, which cost $1897, so we agreed. Their technician came and installed the new system on January 7th of 2025. We specifically requested motion sensors in specific areas and were told there should be no issues. As soon as the technician left, we started getting motion detector error messages continuously. We called the tech the next day and he suggested to change the batteries, which is weird since everything was just installed.

    We changed the batteries but continued to receive the same error messages. We also noticed the motion detectors were not working in the requested areas. The lights would not turn on, the garage door openers would not work, neither did the front door bell camera. We called the tech but he suggested to contact customer support to find out if they would send someone out. We called customer support and they had us on the phone for over two hours trying to troubleshoot the multiple issues, with no success. We asked to have a tech onsite, they asked us for three dates that could work with scheduling and would call us back, we never heard back. We called again at least a dozen time in the next three weeks letting them know the system was also not connecting to wifi, they tried troubleshooting with us on the phone to no success.

    The frustration kept growing and our patience level running thin, we called customer support and told them we would dispute the charge if they could not get someone out to fix the system, we were still given the runaround. After one month, we disputed the $1897 with the credit card company. They then started calling about payment, we told them we would resume the service if they could fix the system. Our credit card company allowed the dispute due to Vivint's no response.

    After three months of back and forth, we asked them to come deinstall their device from our home, they said they don't such practice and asked to give them a chance to fix it. They kept wasting multiple hours of our time on the phone but could never find a tech. Five months later, Vivint withdrew $1897 from our checking account, without our consent. We called them to let them know that action seemed like a fraudulent practice, but we were met with they're still trying to find a tech to send out to our home.

    We read reviews about some nightmares others have experienced, so we consulted with an attorney and was told a refusal to pay the upfront fee for the system could have them send us to collection. It was now end of July, we called them and let them charge us for the system, because they kept refusing to cancel the service, even though it has never worked. They even had the nerves to continue to charge us the $50 monthly subscription and have refused to deactivate the system. Their customer support only cares about reading scripts and making promises they never seem to be able to deliver. RUN from this company.

    Vivint is the top of the line security, surveillance and smart home system. The quality of the cameras and how everything works integrated with the app is very convenient. Our tech went above and beyond to explain everything he was doing, then after a long day of work, he stayed to educate us on all the features and functionality. He was so nice, I’d invite this guy and his family to dinner.

    STAY AWAY. I was approached by a salesman that would not take NO for an answer. He kept pushing. He made the deal sound good, he told me that it would be 112.00 a month. Within 1 hour he had the system installed, and he discounted my ADT system. Although I had 3 days to cancel. He never once told me how much the equipment was, the next day after finding out that the equipment was over 4k, and my monthly payment was going to be a lot more then 112 a month, I cancelled. Then I find out they opened a charge card through Fortiva in my name to finance the 4k, I never authorized them to do this. I called to find out how long before they would come get their equipment, was told 30 days.

    When the salesman came out, I told them I was under contract, he told me they would buy out the contract from ADT, I owed over 2k, after they installed I received an email from them, that states the buyout would only cover up to 1k, not the 2k that I owe, so even more reason I cancelled with them. I called again, to have them come pick up their equipment still said 30 days, even though the charge card company will take their pmt before then. I never gave them any authorization to do any of this, and I had 3 days to cancel. They should have never installed anything until after the 3 days. Every time I called they kept offering me discounts for me to stay, I kept telling them no, I want to cancel. ADT, is reconnecting their equipment today, I will have VIVINT equipment in a box on the porch. These people need to stop being so pushy, and deceptive.

    Service was great, but I didn't like the fact they ran a credit check without my permission and did and caused a hard inquiry on my report. The young man told me the equipment was cober, and after his buddy installed the equipment, I saw a $3000.00+ fee. Other than the false advertisement, the service was great.

    I believed everything was on track since I had just finished paying for my ADT Blue contract. I wasn’t keen on switching from ADT, especially after maintaining a commercial account for my business for over a decade. Then Rob, the representative, convinced me to consider a new system. I was approved for financing up to $6,000 and was informed that my equipment cost would be around $40 a month, with a similar fee for monthly service. Additionally, I was promised a waived installation fee in exchange for leaving a review and placing a sign in my yard. With that in mind, I agreed to the plan, and shortly after, Therren came to set up the system.

    However, Therren didn’t have an indoor camera available, so he suggested I swap it for another type of camera. We also had to switch out the alarm fog since that was unavailable too. Now I’m puzzled by a $328 withdrawal from my account. While Therren was polite and composed, the installation left much to be desired; the holes are poorly drilled and lack precision, as evidenced in the photos. I have a feeling we might encounter further issues down the line. Honestly, I feel like I just signed up for a service that has already provided subpar installation, and it seems the payments will exceed what was originally promised.
