When I purchased my home, I inquired about Vivint from the previous owner. I maintained the current package and then when I sold that home, I ended up taking my Vivint service with me. Right now, I just have the basic package which is the security system. I'm happy with it. The guy that came to hook up the service was very nice and courteous. He expedited fast service to get it up and running because he knew the area that I was moving into was scary for me because I'm new to the area. Overall, I've had a great experience with Vivint. I've had other representatives from different companies come and try to offer me a better upgraded service but I chose to stick with Vivint because of my experience that I've had thus far.

I had ADT. I was buying a house and wanted to give Vivint a try in this home. On the day that the installers came out, they were great but I haven’t heard back from them. I had called for an additional couple of pieces for my windows and they had broken one for the door, and I didn't get any of those so I just called the customer service directly. Every time I call customer service, they answer my question. I also have some issues with the system that gives off false alarms at times, but besides that the system is reliable. I'm very pleased with the service from Vivint.

I felt like Vivint's thermostat would be helpful so I added that in our package. I don’t use the service that much but I love the back doors wherein it can be opened without a key. I also like the fact that the fire alarm would go automatically to them to tell the fire department. Their reps were fine and their installation team installed the system that night as soon as the salesman left.

The sales reps from Vivint were friendly. The only thing was they were supposed to get me two outside cameras but they didn't. They never ever called me back to tell me where they were or if they're coming or not. The installation part was fine, though. So far, I don't have any complaints about Vivint's services. They saved my house from burning to the ground.

When I first got the system my wife was happy with the system and was ok with costs. After a year of paying for a system, which I now can get cheap, there's no way out due to way contract written. The camera no longer works and I don't want to pay just to have someone try to fix over phone. I never received replacement for the lamp on which was recalled and the front door lock did not last one year without problems which now are getting worst. The people in past were very helpful - Vivint's only saving grace. Still got a full year of the plan. Can't wait to get out. Would not renew contract. Way too overpriced for what you get in end especially since the system can be bought for far less elsewhere. Should have done my homework. Never would have done it.

Jalon, our Vivint salesperson was upfront and honest from the very beginning. The personal approach and honest answers to our questions really put our minds at ease. But that's not the reason I want to review. The system is every bit as good as it was described. The home automation (garage door control from my phone, thermostat control from my phone, light controls from my phone as well as alarm on/off) alone is worth every penny, the fact that I get motion sensors, a doorbell monitor that records detected visitors, fire protection and a top notch alarm puts this system so far ahead of any system I have had installed.
Springfield Missouri is not a big city by any means, but break-ins are on the rise in neighborhoods like the one we own our home. We agreed with Jalon when he suggested it is much more logical to have home protection to deter a break-in as opposed to putting one in because a break-in occurred. Thank you Vivint for delivering what you promised you would!
Dale, thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear that Jalon was professional, honest, and helpful. We're so glad you're enjoying your system and that everything is working well. Thank you for choosing Vivint to protect your home and family!

It's been fabulous with Vivint. I have their glass breaker, glass break alarm, motion sensors, doorbell security camera, smoke detector and the garage door sensors and I've definitely been satisfied so far. The best thing that I like about it is that if somebody rings the bell, I'm able to see who is at my door even if I'm not around. That enables me to keep a check on who's visiting my home. I hope I never have a situation wherein there's a break-in at my house, but if I get into that part, it's definitely good to have the system. I have recommended Vivint to a friend who already had it installed.

Everybody that I've had to deal with at Vivint has been awesome. They have been the most helpful and I've had the best customer service experience with them. They're fast and courteous. The installation team were on time, very helpful, efficient and cleaned up after themselves. Because I haven't had an alarm system before and I just bought my house, they showed me step-by-step how to change the setting, what works, how to program my phone and use the app. I was satisfied with Vivint and I referred my mom to them.

The sales pitch was reasonable. The installation coordination was poor due to inaccurate scheduling resulting in a few more calls to coordinate the service. The point system for equipment was confusing. Controller needed to be installed twice. Cameras have not worked. Called technical service to get help and they said the work reboot the system which has not work for about a week. Submitted a question online and got an email asking for more info resulting in further delays and still not working. I have ADT in our primary home and have very few problems and pay less than Vivint. I would have placed an ADT system but they are not providing to service in the mountain environment. Still waiting and not pleased!

I bought a service package from Vivint that included the thermostat, the touch screen panel, and the thing where one remotes in and adjusts the thermostat and close the doors in the front and the garage. I also have some window sensors and motion detectors. The sales representative was very nice and friendly. The installation team made sure and asked where we wanted the things put. They suggested places to install the sensors and were very good. However, I got a lot of alerts that say my door is open but it really isn't. It makes me freak out when that happens because I think it is. I wanted to know if they ever do system maintenance. Other than that the experience has been great so far.

I have attempted to call Vivint every day for the past two weeks and speak with someone about moving my service from my current residence to my new one and have had NO luck whatsoever. On each of these calls, I am able to speak with someone that says they are transferring me to the "moving" department, and that's when I am on hold for at least 20 minutes or longer. I have tried the live chat feature on their website and they are little to no help either. They say that I just need to continue to hold and wait for someone to answer in that department and that they cannot help me with my issue. This process is becoming very tiresome and extremely aggravating. I am almost to the point of taking my business elsewhere due to this.

The main purpose of having Vivint is so I won't have to worry about break-ins, and they're doing a good job for me. I signed up with them through a gentleman who came to my door and offered Vivint's services, but I wasn't in a position at that time to go with them. So when I moved, I contacted him and then he made arrangements for the installation. My interactions with him have been good and the installer showed me how to use the system which was rather simple. Vivint isn't overly intrusive into my life and the less I have to do with it the better for me. As long as the system works, I won't have any problems with them. Vivint is a great company to have.

I wanted more security and also wanted to monitor my home as I go on vacation. I purchased Vivint's Space Monkey, two cameras, and got all my windows and lawn secured. Their sales rep was very courteous and presented himself very well. However, the first representative I got in touch with talked quickly and I couldn't understand half of what he was saying. He was just trying to sell the product. The installer was superb.
The thing I was a bit disappointed about was I thought one of the cameras would be an external camera but I ended up with two indoor cameras because the guy didn't have one. I wish I had that external camera because I do have one for the bell, but the entrance is too dark so the outside light is brighter and I don't have too much recognition of a person's face. The sales rep gave me his phone number so I'm thinking of calling him about it, but I know they'll charge me $10 or more.
Another thing was I was on vacation and all of a sudden my cameras went offline. The system was working. I didn't know if it was because my internet is flaky but eventually, the cameras came back online. Also, I showed the system to my next door neighbor and what I could do with it and she liked it. A week later, a Vivint guy was around and I told him that I had showed the system to my neighbor. I was told I would get some sort of credit, but I never put it through because I don't know exactly my neighbor's name. She didn't include that I recommended her. But in spite of that and all of the abovementioned issues about the sales rep and cameras, everything's good and I would still recommend Vivint.

The system has solid performance and mobile technology. My issue arose when extenuating circumstances caused my family to look at cancellation. Their cancellation policy states some specific items that can cause Vivint to release you from the policy or "other extenuating circumstances". In this case, my wife and I were both laid off following the birth of our child and needed to sell our house to live with family while on the job search. Vivint said this is not an extenuating circumstance and that if we cancelled we would owe over $3,300. Their recommendation was to get on Craigslist to sell my policy to someone else. After looking through reviews it seems getting released from your contract doesn't happen. I would have looked at this company for future homes if it wasn't for how they fumbled this chance to make a long-term customer.

The first few years we had a great experience however as time went on our equipment started having issues. The panel would frequently reboot which would reset all of the thermostat schedules. I eventually had a tech come out and replace the panel. The new panel rebooted as often as the old one but the new issue with the panel was that we couldn't get the app to control the various devices we had. The Z-Wave devices such as the thermostat, lights and cameras worked fine but the door open and shut and arm/disarm no longer worked through the app (iPhone & android or on a pc). What's the point of having a smart security system for your home if you can't even tell if it is armed or not when your away?
I got extremely frustrated with the support and the inability to fix their issue. There were several scheduling failures on their dispatch crew and I finally called to cancel my service. That's when I found out that I inadvertently, somewhere along the lines, renewed the 42-month contract. UGH! So now what? I pay for 2 service contracts because Vivint did not have the customers best interests in mind. A real shame. I called to give them another shot and although they said they can't let me out of contract, they could reduce my bill by $25/month. Alas, my bill is the same as it always was and when I called back to remind them of their promise, they don't seem to have record of our conversation.

I am satisfied with Vivint but my experience with them went sour and I decided to leave. I was already with Vivint for five years and I fulfilled my five-year agreement with them.

I’ve been with ADT since 2008 and we just recently moved to another location. I was going to stay with ADT, but when they came out, they didn’t really offer me anything. Right now, I have a doorbell camera and the cameras inside from Vivint and I'm very satisfied. They've been most top-of-the-line. Jeremiah and his partner were very professional, positive, and got everything done. I ended up cleaning up, but it wasn’t a big deal.
Another thing that I like is the fact that for if you're at home, get the alarm on and forget that you got it on then open a door and set it off and don’t get to the keypad in time, Vivint actually talks to you through the keypad, so you don’t have to worry about trying to find the number to call. They say, “I see an alarm going off. Checking to make sure everything is okay.” You tell them everything’s fine and they ask for your pass code. I love that feature. It is very user-friendly. I have a five-year-old and he pretty much does all the stuff for setting the alarm. He knows how to go through the app to arm the alarm.
The only thing I don’t like about it is that as soon as somebody pulls up to the garage, the chime always goes off. But I’m sure it’s just a feature where you have to go into the system and maybe change the sensitivity. My mother-in-law saw how the setup was, and they were like, “Oh, this is too much,” but now, they have Vivint. You can’t beat it. At $52 a month, I get all those features, the service and the 1-800 number and if I don’t have access to the phone, I can always go online through the chat center. They've taken care of everything.

I got a Vivint system and decided to get some additional services in my package because that's what it made it not your average alarm home monitoring system. The sales rep was good and very knowledgeable. The sales pitch was a bit pushy. I also don't know if that was the sales rep's style or the style of Vivint in general. The house that we have had a pre-existing system, so there were some issues in trying to put the Vivint system in the same spot of the panel. It was a bit complicated. The installation guy was very professional and did troubleshoot a number of different things. He really put in a lot of effort and we appreciated that. I've been very satisfied with their services.

First start off by saying we are so very happy with every single interaction that we have had with Vivint! I loved the young lady Priscilla that discussed the opportunity of a Vivint system with us to the people who installed it in a very timely manner and were so polite and cleaned up after themselves, to the customer support when we had questions to the technician that came out and made sure our system was running properly!

I was initially contacted by Eric ** as he was canvassing our neighborhood. He explained what he was doing and it piqued my interest since we'd been thinking about a security system due to some break-ins in our neighborhood. I invited him in and he explained exactly what they would install, where they'd install and why they'd put it where they were going to do it. I said we'd do it and asked when they'd be able to do the job. Surprisingly they were able to it that evening. David the installer did a fine job neatly and finished in less than 4 hours.

I was charged erroneously and Vivint refused to refund my money. I cancelled my membership in March 2016 by email and called to verify in April 2016. Our contract was up on 5/27/16, but I was charged $73.30 on 5/26. I was told that since the payment was taken on 5/26, they could not and would not refund my payment. I disagreed with this and said I will not pay for an entire month's of service when I received 24 hours or less or service. After refusing again, I am disputing with my bank as this is a HORRIBLE way to do business!

Living in Fishers is great, but I’m a single woman by myself. And so, I decided that, “Hey, why not have some protection?” I had heard a lot about Vivint. In fact, I got it when it was called APX - that’s how long I’ve had Vivint. And I just feel more comfortable with it. I feel a lot safer. They provide signs that you can put in your yard, and little stickers on the window to indicate that this is not where you want to enter. And I just like the idea that the alarm will go off if anything happens, and then, the police will come.
The sales reps and installers are all stellar. It's not just professionalism, but they have a human touch. They don’t just treat you like a number. They’re patient, and they take their time and listen to your questions. And if they can’t solve it, they’ll find someone that can. But, most of the time, all the customer service that I’ve received, everything’s been resolved in that day within minutes. And they also give me updates that’s in the products that they have available for me. I really trust them. ADT tried to seduce me before and offered a plan. They were talking about what they offer versus Vivint and I don’t see it.

The Vivint sales rep who came by the house was extremely engaged, definitely knew all their system's features, and are well aware of the features of their closest competitor. They also took care of getting everything installed in a timely manner. For automation purposes and because of the functionality of the touch panel and mobile app in the new system, I switched from my old, landline-based system to have a wireless system. Vivint also offered me a deal to install everything and upgrade most of my equipment for free.

The reason I opened my door to Brooke, the sales lady was that I had seen "Undercover Boss" on television. Anyone who cares about his/her employees that much has to care about Vivint's customers. Even though AT&T wanted to sell me essentially the same system, Vivint's system was all inclusive, and both the sales lady and the technical treated me as an important person. Follow-up is very important to me. Brooke has followed up (today), and is going to follow up at least twice more to ensure I am pleased with the system's capabilities and operation.
I am an Air Force Colonel (retired), and am used to managing up to 500+ people at a time. Also, I am a pilot with over 6500 hours.

I have contacted Vivint 6 times since the beginning of May. My father passed away in March, and I brought my mom to live with me. I purchased the security service while I was living alone and wanted peace of mind while I was at work and the house was empty. Since there is always someone here now, I haven't used the alarm since. When I called to cancel the service, I was told that I was in a contract, but never did get specific details regarding the term. As I do not recall renewing the service, I asked for some proof, either my signature on a contract or to listen to the call where I agreed to the new term. I have had Vivint for years and thought I was in a month-to-month agreement now.
Despite multiple attempts at getting a resolution to my request, I am still paying for this service that I am not using. The closest I got to a resolution was when a rep called me back after "getting authorization" to access the computer that contains the audio files. When she called me back, however, she told me that the computer system was down. I'm tired of calling, waiting on hold, and getting the run-around concerning this issue. I have used this service for years, but this experience has made me feel like Vivint is only interested in collecting my monthly payment, and not in working with me to resolve this issue. My service number is ** and my phone number is **. If anyone who cares enough to look into my case cares to call me about it.

My name is Mark **. I have been with Vivint for 9 years and recently had problems with my home security to where I needed tech support. I called them with the alarm codes explaining my problems so they offered to send a tech out to fix the matter at hand. I talked with them on what it was doing and they listened and responded that they were willing to help get someone there right away. And right before the conversation ended with them offering a scheduled date they asked if I was interested in resigning for an additional 3 years because I was out of contract... I said "well let's get my alarm fixed quickly like you offered and I will consider another contract because I have been with you for this long already."
Then I got slapped in the face with a crappy response of quote: "Well sir it's gonna take a week or so to get anyone out to service your alarm." I was shocked and asked "why suddenly are you not interested in protecting my home and family because I would not resign a verbal contract over the phone?" I talked with them almost begging for a sooner appointment than a week and they said "sorry sir we just don't have anything available." So I don't resign so my house is now unprotected while I'm still paying. I don't think so Vivint.
So I desperately agree to their terms and in 4 days a tech was supposed to show up and fix it. And a tech leaves a tag on my door saying he was there knocking from 8:28 AM TO 8:50 AM. There was 4 people in the house at that time and there is no way-- possible WAY all of us did not hear him knock. Just another lie because I didn't resign with your unprofessional business tactics. I trusted Vivint to protect my family and home and Vivint let us down deeply and destroyed my trust in them. So this is my way of encouraging everyone to stay away from this company and anything that say Vivint. PS I strongly suggest you read all of these complaints... I wish I would have. :(

I will say first off I have not purchased anything from this company and I likely will not! Why? All entrances to my neighborhood are clearly marked with No Solicitation signs and yet three teams of Vivint employees have been going door to door through my neighborhood Soliciting for Vivint's service. Of all companies I would think a security company would understand the dangers and reasons for a no solicitation rule. But not Vivint as they blatantly disregarded the neighborhood's wishes. Worse, though they had ID badges displayed when asked for a business card or flyer with Vivint's information - the gentleman stated they do everything on a tablet and could not provide paper copies. Before writing this I checked with a friend who recently purchased a security system from Vivint and they said they were originally approached in the same manner.
Again, I cannot speak to the value or performance of the equipment or service. I can say when a company does not abide by the simplest of rules I will not trust them to abide by any rules, including those they themselves may state, especially when they cannot or will not provide any written documentation at the time a purchase is made. And NO, a document emailed after the fact is not sufficient as it may not state the same things or may contain exclusions not provided at the time of purchase.

I got Vivint three years ago and I’m not really happy with what I’m paying for. I don’t have windows that go up and down. I’ve only got one sliding window downstairs, a sliding door, front door and something else that’s armed, and a small window on my basement because my condo is structured very differently. I’m paying a lot for that, which is fine. But then I asked about cameras and that was another huge price. I’m moving in about five months to Jacksonville, Florida and I will not be taking the security device with me since I have ADT in Florida with my ex-husband who’s a police officer. This with ADT was from eight years ago and we had cameras and everything else.
Vivint's service is great, though. They’re trimming the trees and the vibration must’ve set off the alarm, which is fine because I was home. I thought when we were installing the cameras and the motion sensors that actually opening the window would set the alarm off but it's not because it's the vibration, and to me, that’s very discouraging. And so I’m not going to spend any more money on getting the sensors installed or getting anything else changed. But the customer service has all been great, outstanding and exemplary. I’ve got family out in Oklahoma and I know a lot of people in the Midwest, and Vivint has all been so wonderful. It’s a lot for the little things that I’m paying for but it’s not a bad product.

The sales representative from Vivint was amazing. There was just a few things I was a little frustrated with. I have solid oak doors and they drilled a hole in it to put the sensor in the door. I wished they would have said, "Hey, do you mind if we do this?" because they have ones that glue to the door rather than drilling into a solid oak door. I also not let them drill into my walls so they put a molding for the cord to run through to plug in, which was okay, except that it was super crooked so I redid it. When I have a problem, they get right on it, but I've had problems where I've walked into my house with my alarm alarmed three times now and it doesn't trigger anything. So somebody could break into my house and be stealing everything with the alarm on. But Vivint fixed it and gave me a month free so they're trying. This is my first alarm system so it's a learning experience.

First off, to readers of this review, I am sorry for my grammar throughout. I was at work and in a hurry to post this while on my lunch. Vivint Smart Home sales rep shows up at my house and was very friendly. That is the only good thing I experienced. The rest was horrible. Sales rep went through his stuff and naturally I was interested because home automation sounds cool. Well we get to the 3-day cancellation form and other crap and while going through it he kept saying the words "extension" and "extra days". At this point I was trying to keep my big dog from constantly jumping on him and keeping my daughter from doing anything stupid and getting hurt (she is 2 so need to keep an eye out for her). Well sales rep took advantage of that and kept saying "extension" and "few extra days for weekend" and we will worry about the extension later, that basic form is 3 day and extension would come later.
Well later come and we do an extension thing where he needs a check. After and even before extension thing, because the tech was there and I wanted the sales rep to clarify and I was making sure I understood everything, and also to fill my wife in when she got home. I asked the sales rep multiple times, upwards of 5 times, "If my wife and I decide we don't want Vivint at all and we want to cancel before being locked into anything, and without being charged, I have till May 18th 2016 to call or do whatever needed to cancel?" Sales rep each time said "YES THAT IS CORRECT." Even had the rep write down on his little sheet that he left with me to explain things to my wife about the extension and he did. So I call on the 12th to cancel even though I thought we had till the 18th to do that, but since we were going to be out of town that weekend and I just didn't want to forget I made sure to call in advance.
When I call I was informed that I am calling a day late and that the extension bull crap wasn't true. Well my first call was while I was at work so I didn't have my paperwork in front of me so the customer service rep says "Well since you don't have any evidence to prove otherwise we can't help you and to cancel you have to buy out your contract." That I have had for all of one day at the total of $4,200. I told the rep "I don't have that much because I just bought my house 2 months prior and honest to god I don't have $4,200 just lying around, that all of my money went into my new house."
So he says "Let me call your sales rep and we can have a 3-way call." So we get my sales rep on the phone and at first he says everything should be fine to cancel, but then the customer service rep butts in and says "No he needed to cancel yesterday not today because even though he said something about an extension I told him there is nothing in his paperwork that says that." So then the sales rep says "Oh wait, you're right" and he starts making up an excuse for how the extension was only for the payment not the contract. That is where I jumped in and stated that when the sales rep was at my house he didn't state that the May 18th extension was only for the payment and, that when I asked him about cancellation anytime between the install date and the 18th before being locked into a contract and each time he said "Yes that is fine."
So at this point it is an argument between me and the sales rep until finally the customer service rep had the sales rep hang up then. (Call was being recorded I should add.) We continue the call and he says "Well now that we have the just the sales rep stating that he never said anything about an extension of the contract just the payment date you are still going to have to pay $4,200." I told the rep that was bull and that I don't have the money and he said it wasn't his problem. I then asked if it says in the contract that "It is OK to confuse and lie straight to your customer's face" and again the service rep says "Sir we have it recorded that the sales rep said he didn't do that." I then asked what about the recording of me at that same time stating that, that was exactly what he did. Service rep just said "Sir we have him on record." Then all the rep kept saying was "We have him on record" and "You have to buy out your contract."
At this point I was mad as hell because this company is telling me that to cancel I have to buy a piece of paper they could easily rip up for $4,200 or keep the service and make monthly payments to them instead of making sure my family has food or clothes, or even a roof over their heads. Vivint is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with, and I strongly recommend that anybody thinking about home automation or security to not go with Vivint unless you want to be lied to and taken advantage of for $4,000 or more. You can honestly buy your own security and home automation stuff for cheaper and maybe find a handyman at your local church willing to put it up for you.
Vivint sucks. Please I want everybody to know how evil and crappy this company is, and I am using choice words because if I could describe how horrible they really were and still are being, my review would be taken down in 5 min for graphic and imagery and language. Please people I beg you. Read this and understand they don't really care about your protection or anything else. All they care about is how can we lie and make some get locked into a 5-year contract.
Side note: After having Vivint at my house. The weekend we went out of town my wife's bike was stolen from our front porch, which is weird. It got stolen right after Vivint came to my house because my wife's bike sat there for 3 to 4 months without it being stolen or anything else on the front porch. Another Side note: The tech didn't know how to use a flex bit and drilled a hole right through my exterior wall, and now Vivint is trying to rush me into accepting a claim before I can have a professional come out and look at it.

We had been discussing to get a security system because we live in Niagara Falls, New York which is not the safest community in the world. I really wanted to do this then, lo and behold, the Vivint salesman was making his rounds in the neighborhood and we invited him in to explain to us how a security system works, how the monitoring works, and what parts of our house could be protected. The young man was very informative and helpful. It sounded exactly what we're looking for so we signed up and here we are many years later. We have the door protections and the motion detector inside the house and we've been quite happy with what we have.
We have not upgraded, however, we got an email saying that there was a key fob that was available where you could disarm from your vehicle and I would have wanted to upgrade to that because being where we live, sometimes when I get home from work, I may not want to go directly in the house. I may want to go into the driveway and hit the snow shovel. But I have to go in the house, turn the alarm off, then I have to go back out to the garage. At that time, the key fob was like $100 but I can't coerce the other member of the group to fork over the dough for it.
Other than that, we've been very pleased with the performance and the response when the alarm has gone off. It was more than I expected. The alarm has gone off one time and scared the creepers out of us, but the police responded, reassured us and we felt great about that. All the other times that the alarm has gone off where Vivint has contacted us are usually when I've had a relative house-sitting our pets for us and they've messed up the keypad.

The Vivint sales rep that we dealt with was pleasant, very polite and professional. He talked us into getting the system so we bought the doorbell camera, which I liked because I can see who's at the door without going to opening it, and the fire alarm that doesn't go off with just smoke, which is wonderful. We have the Life Alert wristband too. Their installation team went through the house to see where they would place things to help with break-ins and they said the living room was protected by the lanai. So they had a window breakage unit in the lanai and it's amazing that all the windows in the lanai plus the living room window that faces it would be protected by this one unit.
I feel much more comfortable especially during the night. Even with the dogs that we have, if someone managed to get in, they could still do damage. My husband had actually thought about discontinuing it because it’s an extra bill, but I told him that we are not discontinuing it because it makes me feel safe. We did have accidental door openings while the alarm was on and it teaches me to think before I open the door.

I'm not really happy with Vivint as our alarm system, but I'm okay with it. The problem is that the reps don't know what they're doing. They said the camera was gonna work with my system. It did not, so they made me upgrade which I had to pay for. Then, we got some more cameras and those cameras didn't work with the system as well. They said that it was with the wrong camera, so they had to take out my cameras again. Every single time they put a camera, they're putting holes in my wall. So they put new cameras in and eventually, they got them to work.
They're monitoring three of my buildings and if I have to go to a fourth building, I probably wouldn't use them just because they don't really know what they're doing. I would have never had Vivint prior to the people that had them. But there was a guy who was sent out who was pretty nice. When the installation team came out, he did the work that they gave him. But they didn't give him everything, which was really not his fault. And he had to come back again when they finally gave him everything.

The sale guy was not pushy and worked around my work schedule to come sit down to see what would best fit my home and price range. He explained everything thoroughly, and was very professional. He got the installation team at my home within the hour after I decided to switch to Vivint, which was great, so I did not need a second appointment time. The installation team set everything up within 2 hours, and cleaned up after drilling in the walls. Before leaving they explained all the new equipment and how to use the app, so when they left I was confident to use my new system. Besides having a great Vivint team, all the equipment and installation was free! All they required was my first month payment. I already recommended Vivint to 2 people and I have not even had the system for a full 24 hours! Definitely worth it!

Great customer service, great company! I have their alarm system with a smoke detector, door monitors, and a camera monitor and absolutely love the service so far. The installer was very professional, had given some advice on monitoring systems, and had worked it with the smoke detectors. He had someone with him that was in-training and they had a lot of respect for each other. And so far, everything has been great. We’ve had a couple of fire alarms go off – they were false. And each time that I’ve talked to a few reps, they were very courteous and very knowledgeable about the alarm systems.

First heard about Vivint from my neighbor who had a system installed. My wife had wanted a security system for a couple of years, but we never went bold with it until recently, and I'm very satisfied with Vivint. Their price is reasonable, the system is of good quality and the set up was fantastic. The installation team did a good job and they were very good and neat. When I had a couple of questions when the system was being installed, I called and they came the next day and answered my questions. Although we've been having false alarms from the motion detector in the living room when my family and I were on vacation and my neighbor was taking care of our cat. Maybe he was doing something incorrectly. But since I've been home, it's been okay.

I had no problems with Vivint until I went to cancel. I phoned in to cancel and they told me that I would have to submit my cancellation notice by email. Fine, I submitted it by email but then get an email saying I had to phone in. So I phone in and they said there was a 30 day notice. Again, I was fine even with that. I notified them on April 29 so I would expect them to only bill me until May 29. My billing cycle is the 25th. So imagine my surprise when they withdrew another full month. I called them to get it sorted out and get my money back but they said it was company policy not to refund it. THEY ARE CROOKS.

We used to have ADT. Then, Vivint came to the neighborhood. In the service package, the alarms and glass breakage features are included so that I don't have to shoot somebody in the middle of the night. Working with the sales rep was good. At first, the installation team had little problems getting everything to work and then they had to come back the next day but the installation all worked out. Sometimes I forget to start off the alarm in the morning. I let the dog out and Vivint calls right away.

I have two smart home feature package from Vivint, as well as two motion sensors, the glass break, and all the doors. The former homeowner had the service, and even though he took the equipment with him, I still continued the service. But two of my rooms are not protected at all with Vivint, and I have talked to them about it. It's going to cost even more if I'm going to do it, which is quite unacceptable to me. It needs more equipment. They don't offer enough equipment and it's an outrageous price to do it. But I knew I needed a security system and I like the sound of Vivint at first. But after doing research and after I have Vivint, I don't like the features that I have with them. I really don't like Vivint at all.
In the beginning, I called them and asked how much it would be, and I thought that was a great price so I got into the contract with them. And then six days after I have the installation done, I started looking into the security system and I realized that I'm paying way too much for what I've been getting for the device. I then called them up. I figured that like most companies they have a 30-day money back guarantee but now with Vivint, it's only three days and nobody mentioned that in the beginning. So, they scammed me there. They don't give you any time to try out their system and you're locked into your contract as soon as those three days are up without paying for the rest of your contract.
They didn't disclose that information to me. According to the law, they're supposed to but that doesn't mean they always follow the law. It made me really unhappy and I've even called them to try to cancel, but they wouldn't do it. They lowered my price by about $10, but that was all they would do for me. I would not recommend them to anybody and honestly, everything they did, you can do it yourself for a fraction of the price. In the end, it's going to be around $3,000 with Vivint, whereas you can do it yourself and have basic monitoring for around $500.

I got their thermostat control, camera, and a motion detector which I changed to a window detector several months ago. The guy that installed the system did a good job. The last rep I spoke with on the phone was extremely cordial and knowledgeable and I was impressed. I like the idea that if I go for a walk, I come back, I just take my phone out and open and close the door. Also, I'd check the system box and check what the temperature is outside which is easy.

From that point, I lost my confidence with Vivint. I never got a callback stating that it's not off of back order or if they have more cameras in. If they had, I would definitely have bought it and if they installed it, that's additional money right there for labor. Now that I'm trying to sell the house, I'm not interested in any of those things anymore. It's up to the person who's buying the house as to what service they're going to get from Vivint.

After that though, it was good. The service guy that used to be our neighbor at the other place we lived in came out and was great and the last guy that came was really good as well.

We’re having to change the batteries a lot in order to get that to work. Other than that, everybody at Vivint has been very informative and polite. I really like the service and my experience has been great.
Nancy, thank you for your feedback! We strive to provide excellent customer service, and it's great to hear you're enjoying your experience with us so far.

We previously had Slomin's Shield but we liked the idea that Vivint was wireless - that we're not relying on the telephone lines. If one cuts the telephone line, the other system would have failed. But Vivint does not rely on that. The installation team was very cordial and friendly. They were very knowledgeable about what they were doing. However, I find that it's quite expensive for what we have. Moreover, the front and side doors have the combination lock and the batteries run down quickly and need to be changed often.
Anthony, thanks for your feedback! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your Vivint system.. Not having a phone line connected to your security system definitely offers peace of mind that if an intruder did cut the line that your system would still function. If you are having issues with the batteries draining in the door lock you can try re-calibrating the door lock using the instructions found at http://support.vivint.com/how-to/re-calibrate-lock. Thank you for choosing Vivint!

I’m very satisfied with the services of Vivint. They’re really good. There were a couple of times I set off the smoke alarm because of the cooking or burning incense and they called immediately. And also one time, I didn’t know that I had a raccoon in the basement. I came back home and I couldn’t see it at first and then I heard it moving around and saw it downstairs. The system picked up the movement and it was confirmed that there was something down there. Vivint was accurate about it.
I haven’t had any problem with our old alarm system but I just wanted the update to be able to have monitoring through the iPhone and cameras. I have my camera put right where my dog sits, so when I’m gone, I can check to see how she’s doing. Back then, ADT didn’t have it and that was the reason why I wanted to switch to Vivint. ADT have cameras but it's not an alarm.
Also, the installer of Vivint was really cool. He did the installation in 45 minutes and some of the stuff he had to put in was a new install. Eventually, when I get my garage cleaned, I want to install one of those cameras out there. I also like the fact that I can add additional devices with Vivint. I've recommended Vivint to people but I live in a real bad area and most people would go with Vivint but they just don't have the money to do it.
John, thanks for your feedback! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your Vivint system and services. It's great to hear that when your smoke detector went off that our monitoring team was so quick to respond! The cameras are such a great feature to have so you can monitor you home no matter where you are! Than you for choosing Vivint to protect your home and family!

We were unhappy with the security service that we had and we’re looking for something new. Vivint guys came to our house on a walk-by so they came at the right time. They have an awesome sales team and good installers. We had them install the doorbell camera and motion detectors. I had a problem with the apps for Blackberry at the time but all have been fixed. They have a good service and they're a great company to deal with. I'm satisfied.

New System, Vivint smart home - So far it has been a good experience. They were very good with the product, and were very professional. Explained all items in full detail & could answer all questions. The last company of jerks could do none of this even after 5 years... And it cost less in the long run. But it is new, and they need to expand some of their systems to fulfill the customer needs. As of this minute, I say see for yourself. Think you will be pleased...

Vivint's installation guys were good. They showed me everything about the system. I purchased the thermostat, front door lock, back door and window sensors, smoke, and glass breakage. I'm all into home automation and I like the setup better than just the regular security system. The service has been very good. The only problem we've had was a backdoor sensor. They shipped one out and I still had a little trouble with it. But then they shipped another one out and then we worked through it. It took about an hour, found out it was on their end, but everything was good after that. I'm very happy with Vivint's service and with the technical support.

Only problem was that smoke alarm would come on every 4 or 5 hours every day even though service was scheduled 4 or 5 days before service on 5-16-16 at 4 p. m. I had called & was told that the alarm was shut off until detectors were replaced. I didn't want to call back & wait almost an hour before I could talk to a HUMAN BEING! My wife, dog & I were aggravated with the alarms & had to wait until the smoke detector were replaced!

I got camera, window break, temperature control, and a medical alert pendant from Vivint. I got it because my mother-in-law has been sick and she's been in and out of the hospital. She comes and stays with us every now and then. We thought it might come in handy with her. It eases our mind. Also, it didn't take long for the installation guy to put everything in.

We already had Vivint in this house when we bought it, and we just upgraded the package. We had to call customer service for the batteries and they were very helpful. The only thing we’re having a problem with is when the doorbell rings to our phones, there’s about a five-to-ten-minute delay. I don’t know if it’s the system or if it’s our phone. But still, Vivint has been excellent.
