The salesman from Vivint was excellent and the installation team came within minutes and had it installed that evening, and that was a good job. The only trouble that we had after was that the doorbell cam was on backwards. They never followed up. I had to follow through and then there were troubles with installation on that and it took several needed phone calls to get that straightened away, so that wasn't a good deal. But other than that, I've been really happy.
Thanks for the feedback, Rhean! Although there were issues with the doorbell camera, we're so glad to hear we were able to resolve them. Feel free to reach out at any time with further comments or any questions that may arise. Thanks again for entrusting Vivint with your home security needs!

Excellent company - could not be more pleased with quality of products and service, both over phone and when a field service professional provides home service of the alarm system. It is wonderful to see a company where employees are well trained, enjoy their work, and where the company also contributes to the community and well-being of others through community service events.
That's wonderful to hear, George! We love providing world-class customer experiences, as well as giving back to the communities that allow us to do so. Thanks for the feedback!

I’ve been with Vivint now for at least two years. I got interested because their people kept coming around to my house even with a “No Soliciting” sign. After the third one that came by, instead of me fussing him out and making him get off my property, I heard his pitch and it sounded decent. I went from there. The installation team that has been here has been really nice. They not only talk to me as a customer, they also gave me some advice of what I can do and have actually made friends with a couple of guys.
I have the two cameras, the ones with night vision and motion sensors. I recently purchased the doorbell camera because I really like that. When I see something new, I try to inquire about it and try to get it, with my wife’s approval, of course. I love the home monitoring system. It’s gotten better since I first got it in 2013 and I’m really pleased with their customer service. I heard there are some new things that are going to be coming out in the near future that I would like to get into. I also told the last guy that came if they could do something about the camera - If they could combine the night vision camera with the rotating camera, it would be perfect.
Timothy, thanks for your feedback! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your Vivint system! Having cameras is such a great addition to your system and helps you be able to monitor your home even when you are away! We are so glad that the install went well and the reps were able to communicate with you about your new system. Thank you for choosing Vivint to protect your home and family!

It was good interacting with the sales rep from Vivint. Also, their installation team were very informative, able to answer questions and help you out with what type of system or what you should have in your home to protect your home. I had an excellent experience with both personnel that came out to the house and that have come out continuously. I've recommended the system to several people before I even got it.

Just a quick note to let you know why I continue to patronize Vivint home security. Cory **, field service pro, installed a new panel for me without any hiccups or confusion. He explained everything in great detail and all with a genuine smile! He even squeezed a doorbell camera installation at the last minute too. Oh, did I mention that this was on December 23rd?? He was undoubtedly a cut above, and went the distance for me. What a breath of fresh air in this day and age! Congrats, Cory for making my day with such a fantastic experience. You are the best!!

About 42 months ago we had a team come through neighborhood. They explained everything about the system. We liked what we heard but I was also in the middle of looking for a new job. I was told by the team that if I moved they would work something out with us. We went ahead and had it installed and were happy with it until I got a new job and moved out of state. We called and I was told that I had two options, get the people that were going to rent the home from us to pay or pay it myself. Well they did not want to pay so I was told I had to pay so I told them as soon as my contract was up that I was done.
So 42 months later I have not missed a payment and we called to remind them that we are done were get transferred and had to wait 45 minutes on the line to be told we needed to send an e-mail. They gave us that e-mail and we sent on the 7th. So we thought we were done. Well not so fast. We get a call today Dec 23. saying that we have the fire department responding to our home, (another false alarm) so we were shocked and called them and were told that it could take up to 30 days for that to go through and of course they took their monthly payment again without a contract or my authorization. I believe they have a good product as long as you’re willing to pay for it but once your contract is up and want out be ready for long wait times on the phone and they will get at least one more payment that you do not want to make. I'm not happy at all with the customer service or how we were treated.

We had the camera and all 27 zones done in the house from Vivint, because they’re not capable of installing into the existing system. While it was an excellent experience interacting with their installation team during the day the system was installed, it was a negative experience with their sales representative. I've canceled 37 accounts with them and we're on the verge of being canceled because since day one when the system was installed six months ago, it’s still not operating properly. It worked for three hours and it shorted out. Then they had us hire a special electrician to come out and do some massive wiring. He got it working and the system works right now, but I’m scared to set it because it goes off every half hour. It’s too sensitive now. Vivint haven’t completed their job.
I've left a message for the owner of the company and we're posting on Facebook not to do business with them through the military because I'm a commander. I called their corporate office and talked to a real nice gentleman. He said he'd get back but never returned the phone call. They have over 975 complaints last year on installing systems and aren’t capable. Their doorbell system doesn't work properly in Brandywine, Maryland area. I'm already recommending to the billionaire at ACN not to do business with them because I’m actually building the largest American Legion in the world and they crapped on us. They don’t do anything for veterans either. We’ve left 47 phone calls; no one has followed up. They’ve been out here 29 times to repair the system. Instead of sending me someone out they gave me credit to keep me quiet because they found out who I was. I've had the system almost a year and I haven’t had to pay a bill one time.
The system, if it worked properly, is the best on the market; you can’t break into it. I just retired from NSA and I break into security systems and Vivint's system is one thing I would recommend. You can’t hack into it. I have some of the best hackers in the country and I can say that legally. The camera is no bigger than a pinhead and you can see 40 feet out to the street and 20 feet inside my house down to outside the house. Is that not impressive?

I'm very pleased with the services of Vivint. Their installer is a very professional gentleman and real quick with what he did. Everybody has been very helpful every time I've ever called. One time, there was an upgrade with the system and I needed a reboot, and when I bought new cameras, they helped me install the cameras and get them to connect. I've recommended Vivint to many different other people. It was a perfect experience.

We had an alarm that was here in the house when the house was built, and it was an old wired system and didn't function right. Vivint installed their equipment, which was like a hybrid between wireless and a wired system. They got it up and running and it worked fine for about a year and a half. It finally started giving me some trouble, so they came in and, in the meantime, we had the windows replaced. Once the windows had been replaced, they redid the whole system and upgraded the system for the video camera and everything outside, which I'm really having a good time with it. I'm also impressed with their customer service. They are great.
The only complaint I got is that Vivint had put one of those electronic door locks on the front door with the digital thing. Every now and then when I go put my code in, it doesn't take it. I have to press on it and then it will let me in. I feel that either something may be wrong with the unit or it may be wearing out. At some point, I'm going to call them up and have the unit replaced if it continues to give me trouble. I have recommended Vivint. My neighbor next door got them and my daughter's son-in-law has a system installed.

About 5 years ago, a couple of Vivint representatives in our neighborhood came to our door and sat with us for about an hour and explained their way of home protection. They were very friendly and knowledgeable and promised new hardware for free, so it was attractive. I said yes, they came out and installed all the stuff and it all worked together and I was relatively happy with it. I really like their technology that they are using now where we're able to use our phones and integrate that into the entire experience and system.

When Vivint came around years ago, we were in a house and everyone in the neighborhood was in a lawsuit because of some faulty building. We don't want to install anything new when we're hoping to get out so they said, "Hey, look, if you move, just tell us and we'll move your system with you." That really sold us so when we moved, they also moved the security system and since the new location had more windows, I had to pay for a couple of extra sensors. I'm very satisfied with their service and I enjoy it.

Very pleased with employees – very professional and knowledgeable. And the service itself is great. What is making me have mixed feelings is the company's policy on backing up its equipment. I have twice had malfunctioning equipment which happens that's not a problem. The issue is the 50 dollars wanted to come and fix it. I had to throw a fit to get supervisors to credit this cost. If you want me to sign a 5 year contract and pay 60 dollars a month for this equipment you need to back up its functionality for that term otherwise don't make sign the contract. Other than that I have been very pleased. 5 stars except for that.

It's amazing how bad a company can be in this field. Vivint alarm company was a disaster from the beginning of just a quotation. We didn't even move further because was impossible just make an appointment or make them return our calls. After several intents and phone calls, we made an appointment for last Friday between 8:00 am and 11:00 am. And with a call in the morning to confirm the appointment, they never came, and we called again and they sound surprise and start to said was a mistake and we was never schedule that day. Somebody will call us in 30 min and nothing. Called back today and nothing. At this point, I will search for other company. I'm pretty sure this is a not serious company.

I called to report problems with my sensors. The panel kept says the sensor batteries was bad. It was going off on all windows and doors. I called Vivint and after they had me do several things, found out main battery was bad. This was December 20th. They told me it would be after the holidays before one could be sent out because their warehouse was closed for the Christmas holiday so I would be without protection till after the holidays.
Wow that is when a lot of break in occur but they was not concerned about their customer's feeling secure. I was very disappointed in this. I have referred several of my friends to Vivint but I would not do it again. After expressing my concern several times of having no security service I was not happy but what can you do... If they are making so much money they can afford to give their employees off over a week for Christmas we must be getting overcharged. I need to look into a different security company. They very clearly do not care about their customers safety...

I started off with the basic system from Vivint which includes the thermostat and door lock. Later on, we added the doorbell camera and some of the switches that control the lamps. The installation team is very knowledgeable. They left one old motion detector from the previous system installed and that failed within a period of a couple of weeks as it didn’t interface well at all. It set the house into an alarm, and had a police response. They opted to replace that at no charge. They said that they really should’ve replaced that at the time that they upgraded the system, that they shouldn’t have left one old one in the newer system. Everything went fine after that. They were very accommodating and apologetic. Vivint has been very, very good and they’ve gone out of their way to really do an outstanding job.
There is one area of concern and that is if a device fails and the home alarm system is at risk, being able to get a technician from Vivint to come out and resolve the issue was not as quick. I've waited two to three weeks to be able to get an appointment before anybody would be available. So if I had a problem today, it could be close to a month before anyone could actually come out, investigate and correct. We've had one major panel problem where the panel just literally nutted up and although they were able to get it resolved and get the system back online, they weren't able to solve the problem quickly.

Vivint went home to home in my new neighborhood. I got the whole works from them, the panel, thermostat, doorbell, camera, etc. Their sales representative and installation team were fine. The rep knew his thing, took care of it and finished it up quickly. The initial set up was fine too, but I had a rather terrible experience with a guy that came to set up my doorbell camera. They have an installation person who was astoundingly awful. But it's been resolved - Vivint took care of it so it's all good.

In November we moved from one home to another locally. I contacted Vivint to move our service that already was lackluster. They advised that they could move the service and since I mentioned that I was not impressed with the services I already had, the representative advised that our out of date equipment was probably the cause and he talked me into upgrading with a new 60 month contract. The install date was more than a week away, which was inconvenient, but none the less accepted.
That date arrived and Vivint called to cancel the install. Then proceeded to only offer times that no one was home for the install. I made arrangements to have my daughter to take off work one Friday and got everything scheduled. The install time came and went with no Vivint, so I called and found out that the install was never scheduled. I was furious at this point and was moved to what I was told to be the Customer Loyalty department and they got me an install date and time that was also inconvenient, but offered to have the installer come at the end of the time window (11am-2pm) closer to the 2pm.
I could take off work a little early so it sort of worked. I called a few days prior to the install to make sure nothing was messed up and the representative advised me that a window of 11am-2pm was just that and they could not have the installer come at a certain time. Magically he had an opening for the time frame I had originally requested 2pm-5pm. The installer came out about 3pm and started work. He got the control panel in and quickly put all the sensors up and found that the panel had communication problems, then found that the garage sensor was defective, then I noticed that the panel was not communicating with the door locks correctly. I was also informed that the thermostat that I had on the old system was not listed for the new system and I would have to pay $129 for one because I didn't bring the old one from my old house.
I was told to bring only the control pad for a $50 credit. The installer called and got that corrected, he also advised he would come back Sunday with new components to fix everything that didn't work on the new system. He left at close to 8pm. Not long after I went to bed, then woke up at midnight freezing. The thermostat (Vivint) said the heat was on heating to 72 degrees, but it wasn't. It was cold. So in the middle of the night I am up finding the old thermostat and reinstalling it so we can be warm. I am again left out in the cold by Vivint... Literally.
The only "compensation" I have been offered is a credit for the month that I paid when I didn't actually have service. I expect more from Vivint, but with the service I have had so far, I expect to be canceling my contract and probably being forced into litigation. Would I recommend Vivint to anyone: NO. There have been multiple failures on Vivint's part and I expect nothing but failure from this point on.

So far, my experience with Vivint has been fine. I don’t really have any reservations about it except that it’s a little pricey, and cost is a big name.

I would also like to have another panel in my bedroom like what I had with ADT but Vivint said I couldn't have one. I don't want to come down from the third floor of my house to my kitchen in order to arm my home security. I like to do it right from my bedroom where I'm spending my time. ADT gave me an extra panel when I had them and didn't give me any trouble, but Vivint doesn't so I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. I'm about ready to call Vivint and cancel my subscription and will go back to ADT.

First things first. Vivint "installed" my security system, assured me it was checked and operational and it wasn't. If I had not checked everything after they left I would have had no security. None of the glass break sensors or motion sensors work. The only thing operational is the door sensors. I ran all the diagnostic system checks through their panel and found this out.
I then called their phone support and she said as far she could see everything was correct and there was no problem. I insisted she stay on the phone while I ran the system check and then it was clear nothing was working. I asked whether the sensors should have display lights showing when idling. Yes, there should be a green light visible on the sensor units - not one sensor had any light visible. My big question is how can the checks and balances / testing this company have in place allow their install team to leave a customer with an inoperable system? It makes me wonder how many other homes unknowingly have the same problem.
More of the story if you're interested. The install team from Vivint arrived on time (good). First impression then not good. Both installers were 20 something's wearing jeans and t-shirts. I've not got anything against their age necessarily, but they looked very unprofessional - I want to feel that the team installing my alarm which is for the safety of my family is competent (bad). They then asked me what I was having installed. Have the work order at hand people. This was resolved by them calling HQ (bad). They had no ladder or steps to install the equipment and asked me for one. Come prepared.
This is more the fault of the company - equip your people (bad). They installed my glass detectors above doors and they are not correctly centered. Heard of a tape measure. Oh yes, the company did not issue this (bad). The installers were pleasant and friendly (good) but the millennials were not up to the job on this. Maybe, company HQ can splash out for some t-shirts and some form of dress code as well as things like ladders, tape measures and flashlights.

A representative from Vivint came out and met with us, and she recommended the things that she felt was best and showed us different options that worked for us. She was awesome and really good at what she was doing even though she was brand new to the company. Any questions that she didn't know, she would get an answer right back to us. She was very supportive. We've referred her to a lot of our friends because of that. We purchased a service package and we currently have outside cameras, a thermostat, the doorbell camera, the glass break and the smoke detectors. The installation team came out and they were positive and picked up after themselves. They were very respectful of my space and our home.
Aside from these, one of the things that we really appreciate about Vivint is the people who are at the end of the console who answer the alarms when they go off in the middle of the night and check on us to make sure that we only have a false alarm and that we're safe. We're apologizing for a false alarm at 2 in the morning and they would say "This is exactly what we're here for, to make sure you're safe. Don't worry about it. Have a wonderful evening." They're amazing and we're very happy with our experience with Vivint.

We purchased a service package from Vivint which includes our doors, windows and doorbell camera. The sales rep did a good job. However we continued to have problems and we’ve called a few times. First of all, we didn’t get our camera for 10 months. Then we called our installers, our sales guy, and he kept saying they were on back order. Also, when we’d call him, he wasn’t available so we’d call customer service. He said, “Call me first. I’m the one that handles it.”
We’ve had three incidences, the alarm going off, the back door opened and then we’ve had one where we had it armed and locked, and when we got home it was unarmed and unlocked with no interaction from us. One night, our friend came over and knocked on the door. We weren’t home yet then the door opened and it was unarmed. Also, my husband couldn’t get his phone to work to have it arm. It worked for a while then it stopped. They told us to take the app off, reload it and it’d work again. Now I’m having trouble with mine as when I leave the house and arm it, it would do but won’t lock the deadbolt. I had to take three minutes to wait then push it over to the lock and it would fasten but it should be automatically as that’s where we have it set up. When it’s armed, it’s locked.
One gal we talked to said we could sell it to somebody else and I said, “I’m not going to recommend this to anybody else, let alone sell it to them.” Another guy was also having a bad experience with it, the one we talked into getting it the same time we did. Also our doorbell, where the doorbell camera is, is not the same size as their other one and it’s a big, ugly hole that didn’t cover up the old one. We’ve asked for a plate to go over that. If they could come and put something to cover that hole up to make it look better but that hasn’t happened yet either. Our contract’s 42 months and we’ve had many issues with the system. We’ve asked to be let go of the contract as it’s not working out for us for what we’re paying. It’s been very frustrating so we’re really not happy with it but I understand we can’t do anything about it.

I have had Vivint for over a years now... Installed in my house are 2 cameras, 2 motion sensors, 3 window sensors as part of my security system. I have had to have my box replaced 2 times. And door sensors have went out. My cameras never stay online more than 2 weeks nor does it record like it is supposed to. I have had my house robbed during construction so alarm wasn't set during this time. I hid over 2 thousand dollars in view of my cameras that came up missing, I check my cameras and nothing. They were offline and did not record a thing. Police report and a call to Vivint got me nowhere.
I have tried to have them cancel my service but have had no luck. We are under contract they say. I think the contract should go either way. Not only holding me liable but also Vivint. In words of customer service of Vivint "sorry for the bad luck". There is nothing I can do, and there is nothing they will do. So now I am out $2000 and a monthly service fee that most of the time not all works. I am not just some guy trying to slander Vivint, I am a customer that feels the need to let everyone know the kind of company this is.

I was with Vivint for 3 years and 3 months before we needed to move. I decided to cancel the account as I didn't have a new home to transfer service to. I contacted Vivint in August to notify and they informed me my contract was through November and I would have to pay it out. I asked for a payoff and notified them to stop all monitoring as it would be illegal since the new owners of the home had not given them authority to monitor the home. I then paid the amount they gave me. A few months later I was again contacted and told I owed an additional $120 for past due amounts. We talked about the previous payoff amount and was told that wasn't binding and I hadn't given written notice of cancellation. I sent in my written cancellation.
One month later I was contacted and told I now owed $190. Since my written notice wasn't received until November, they charge another 30 days. These are all charges that are for nothing, as the home was disconnected in August. Customer service was polite but unwilling to remove the additional $60 fee because they can legally charge it. Rather than earn an advocate for them they have earned a disgruntled customer. Don't sign the contract. They will continue to squeeze you for everything they can. They will give incomplete information regarding cancellation and then charge you more. Overall their product is no better than what you can receive for half the price. Don't do it. Don't believe their story of excellent customer service.

Cancelled service and was advised I had a 60 month contract and not a 24 month contract as advised. When asked for a copy of the contract, all they could provide me was the page indicating the 60 months, not my signature. Also, none of the equipment is free. You are paying for it along with your contract and they advertise $1500 of free equipment. Not exactly true and honest in my opinion. Please read everything you are signing because I do believe they substitute the page where it says 60 months instead of 24 months. Initial all pages to ensure they do not swap pages of the contract. Very sneaky if you ask me.

In August I had cancelled my service with Vivint because I found a less expensive option. I have been unemployed for about 6 months now and money has been tight. In looking over things I discovered that I had been billed since August. In reading the fine print, it is completely my fault that it wasn't cancelled. I never sent a written notice to them. In calling customer service today to cancel, I inquired if I could be credited the months that I did not use them. While I know they are under no obligation to do so, I would think that after looking at the circumstances, they would decide that that was the fair thing to do.
Back in August, I received over ten emails stating that my system had been disconnected and Vivint wasn't receiving a signal. That tells me that they chose to continue billing a customer that they knew was not using their services. As I said earlier, I am aware that they don't have to refund... I would like to think that any reputable company would see that as the right thing to do if they truly believe in customer service. Prior to today, I always viewed Vivint in a positive light. I only switched because of cost. They did a great job and I loved the security we had in our home.
Someday when I get back on my feet financially, I figured I would use them again. Not anymore. They have shown that they have no regard for common sense or fair billing practices. Any institution that knowingly continues to bill someone when they know they aren't receiving a signal and there is not service at a location is at best poorly managed and looking to take advantage of customers and at worst, a disreputable organization that should not be trusted because they of immoral practices.
In the past, I was one of their biggest advertisers, I even got a friend to sign up. Not anymore. I will actively go out of my way to dissuade anyone from using their service. Prior to today, I would have rated them 5 stars. Today I feel kind in giving them two stars. Stay away from this company. They do not care about individuals once they have your money.

So I signed up and when the tech came around to install everything he couldn't install the smoke detector that was promised because he didn't have the license to do so. And then he couldn't install the doorbell camera because no power to doorbell which required an electrician that required us to get. So after all of this was done it took them a month to schedule someone to come back out. The tech installed the doorbell camera. It worked for a couple hours and then quit working the very next day.
Our alarm panel would not disarm so I call Vivint to get someone out and it's not a priority for you to not have an alarm so it's going to be a month before they can get someone to come out and see why the alarm panel won't work.

Their system hasn’t worked right since they put it in April, I’ve waited for them to come out and repair it over three months. They sent somebody and told me, “Oh wow, that’s broken. We got to send somebody out and it’s past your warranty so now it’s going to cost you.” They’ve taken notes, fixed it over the phone and then they'd tell me they can’t do it.
I also found out that they disabled part of my system back in April and I didn’t even know it was like that. After speaking to the manager at Vivint, I then had a service guy. He called to find out why I had so many alarms going off. I said, “That’s because of your system that’s not working.” And, apparently, they disabled it. He apologized and told me they would send a service rep out to fix it. This is from April now until December. I had to disable it while I went away on holidays because the alarm kept going off.
And then, he booked an appointment for me and told me he would guarantee my service would be better after hanging up the phone. He sent somebody else and the guy didn’t show up for the appointment so I had to call the head office and reschedule another appointment for the 28th of December. Vivint's absolutely horrible and I'm very dissatisfied.

I've been with Vivint for over 10 years now and so far, so good. They're very professional, kind, generous and upfront and have a pretty quick response time when there is an incident. With my first package at a different home, I decided to have the basic alarm system with the window breaks and some of the windows were also alarmed. I had an upgrade last month where the door lock camera was upgraded to the new panel. But when I have wanted to get a couple of outdoor cameras, they don't have any more which concerns me and that they're doing their own and it's going to cost me almost $350 to $400 for the cameras. If I have known ahead of time, I probably would have thought differently. But that's the only negative that I have to say about them. I didn't bring that to customer service yet because I'm trying to see if there's another way for me to work it. Otherwise, I'm very happy with them and I love their service.

I'm not too satisfied with Vivint's services so far. I have a doorbell camera and thermostat and the camera has so many glitches. Last time I called up, I had to get the manager because my pendant keeps running out of batteries when it’s supposed to last for five years; this was about the third, going on fourth time. I called up and I had paid the extra $10 a month for them to come out to put batteries in, replace things, or whatever I need. But when I called up, the lady says, “Oh no. You called up and canceled that, and the $10 extra a month you’re paying for is your doorbell.” I said, “No. Doorbell is one-time only fee, which I paid. Look, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me talk to a manager.” I talked to the manager and sure enough, she told me they were wrong. A lot of people down there are very rude and I’m not crazy about them, and they’re not really educated. I've only had one real nice person a long time ago.

What should have been a simple replacement for a failed sensor took 6 weeks, numerous online service calls, 3 sensor replacements, and 2 service calls before system back to normal. Online help made the situation go from bad to worse, including at least 3 false alarms and a terrified spouse. A very disappointing experience. I was told I would get a credit for those 6 weeks.

When calling into your call center, getting quotes, deciding on what features I would want and need in my home, I was extremely disappointed and frustrated with that area of Vivint. I was VERY skeptical of if Vivint would work for me. Reluctantly, I signed up thinking that in 10 days I would be calling to cancel my agreement. However, when "John" showed up at my door, walked through my home with me, explained what would work best for me, my family and my house, I was excited about what was to come. After John, replaced my old system with Vivint and was giving me the run through, I was happy with what Vivint was able to provide.
But even that did not compare to the customer service that my wife, my children, and I received from John. So long story short - me being a happy Vivint customer is 90% based on the tech named John that sold me on your company. So yes, I would recommend Vivint based on my customer service experience. In fact, he deserves a raise before another company tries to steal him away!!! Cheers Vivint PS - I hope if I take the time to write this, that someone actually reads these. ;-) I would hire John in a second. In fact, I actually do own a company and if John was trained in my field of work - I would offer him double to jump ship and join my team. You're lucky to have him.

Vivint sale Rep came knocking on my door. (How I wish I wasn't home!) Promised a discount and extra equipment (which I see is part of the whole package anyway) if I allowed the Tech to come the same evening June 2015. I agreed. A Tech came and finished the installation close to 11pm at night. I was impressed.
Well night before Thanksgiving I realized my motion sensor wasn't going off when I entered the living room. (I have to trick the panel by using my cell phone to place it in 'away' mode to have the sensor work at night. If you use the panel and don't leave your home it will override you and place it in 'stay' mode as if you don't know what you are doing.). I called that night about my sensor not working. The lady was nice and after 15 minutes the sensor went off working again. Some type of short or the panel wasn't working right. I had the system for less than 6 months. I asked when a Tech could come out and they quoted Dec 10th. 15 days. I said that wasn't reasonable and they said it was reasonable in their opinion. I called many departments demanding to speak to a Manager. After 1 hour on the phone I told the man I wasn't getting off until he got a Manager on the phone. Finally one came on.
I ended up fussing with him about saying 15 days wait time not knowing what else was wrong with my system. So, I told them to let me out of my contract since they were short staff so I could get another company to monitor me. He and the others refused unless I brought out my contract or I trick someone else to take over my contract. I told them "Why?" since I didn't break the contract, they did. If they would have told me a 'reasonable' time to them was 15 days I would have told the salesman to keep on walking. They did a bait and switch by giving me a false sense of having plenty of Techs when the man came to installed the system the same night. But when it comes to sending someone for failed equipment or emergency they put you off because they are too busy installing another new home.
They already got my business. They don't care to maintain their own equipment. They told me they have so many techs for one jobs, and other techs for other jobs. After another hour and crying I gave up. Adam called back in 2 hours apologizing stating 15 days wasn't a reasonable time and found a tech to come out 3 days later on a Saturday. The Techs came and were very nice. Come to find out the motion sensor wasn't installed by Vivint but they just used my last alarm company's motion sensor. So Vivint put up a new wireless motion sensor free of cost which took 2 hours to make sure it would work properly.
Not less than 24 hours later I couldn't go into my own living room without my alarm system going off because the new motion sensor wasn't working either. It was Sunday, so I decided to call Monday after work. Monday I placed the alarm on 'stay' mode due to my dogs. Well the sensor went off around 2pm. Because I couldn't see my cell phone (I work in a hospital) Vivint called the police. Everything was okay, it was the motion sensor. I suggested when I called again that it might be the new panel since the sensor is new. They claim the other equipment was okay. But I told them I had to tell them about the sensor because they believed it was working as well. How do they know?
They refuse to send a Tech until Dec 12th. 12 days is a reasonable time for them to send a Tech out on a known failed new equipment. 2 hours of begging, fussing and crying but they didn't care! They refused to send a Tech assigned to installing NEW consumers instead of taking care of their paying established consumers. Please don't make the mistake I did. Vivint doesn't care about their consumers. They only care about making a sale and getting more sales. If a Vivint's Rep is knocking on your door tell them "No." There is a 3-day regret policy. By law you can tell Vivint to get their equipment and get your money back. It must be done within 3 days of signing the contract. After that you will be like me.
I will see if the Judge believes 12 to 15 days is a 'reasonable' time to send a Tech out on a known fail equipment esp if it is less than 6 months old and the motion sensor only 24 hours old. I sent 2 feedbacks online begging them to call and they didn't. The last feedback one had the nerve of asking for my verbal passcode for him to assist me. I wrote back telling him it is called 'verbal' for a reason. It should be in print. I told him my address, name and phone number (which he already had in the feedbacks) to get the verbal passcode. Of course he neither called or email me back. They have smart mouth 20-year-old men working in Management who can care less of their consumer's safety. One hung up on me claiming he couldn't hear me. I told him that trick was older than him and to stop pretending because I knew he was planning to hang up on me. He did. Vivint should be ashamed of themselves. Home security they are not.

Vivint did a good service but I don't have a good experience. So far, my front door doesn't work anymore. I was supposed to change the code and I called the technician. He was nice, trying to help me via phone, like how I can delay my parent code so I can put another code. I had a guest at home and we shared that code. That's why I wanted a new code, but my door now is locked. Even when I try with the key manually, it doesn't work. So what we're doing now is we go to the back door every time. And if we make a mistake like we lock ourselves outside or inside, we're just going to be outside.
The technician tried to help me, but nothing is working out. He promised that later on January they're going to send somebody for Yellowknife to look over all the houses. They are only part-time technicians because they're coming from far away. They come here once in awhile. They need to fly in somebody after three months.

We got the alarm system on all the windows and two door locks from Vivint four years ago, and we just renewed our contract with them and bought an updated panel. The installation team is great. My problem is the telephone people. When you call them for technical support, none of them know anything. They're not passionate about their products, they're really bad. But the actual people that come out and install, they're the knowledgeable ones. I wish I had direct access to those guys.
Another problem is that Vivint's equipment is very dated. They need to work with Apple HomeKit and start getting more advanced. If you look at a Nest Thermostat or an Ecobee Thermostat, which are other automated thermostats, they're much sleeker-looking and modern-looking. Then you look at theirs and they're very basic and ugly. They don't work with any third party companies.

I heard about Vivint from a coworker who has it. I purchased the smoke detectors, the glass break, cameras because of the break-ins that were around where I live. So far, the service is excellent. The Vivint installation team was great. I couldn't ask for any better. There were times, though, that we had false alarms and they're pretty fast to respond. I'd recommend them.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Kenneth! Feel free to reach out at any time with further comments or any questions you may have.

Aaron **, our sales person, patiently walked us through the house and the options which turned out to be very generous. He then completed the order and called it in, a smooth transaction. John **, our installer, drove two hours up from the valley, called ahead when he left and again just before arrival... Courteous, very polite young man who really knows the system including troubleshooting his way out of mistakes made by the prior alarm company, ADT. John was patient with us throughout the install and operating instructions. We are extremely pleased with the results!

I was annoyed by the first representative because he was sending me on a roundabout journey for batteries that was not valid for my system and I was explaining to him that I am a 67 year old individual that was not able to get on a 8 foot ladder to put in batteries and he talked on explaining to me what I needed to go purchase as if he did not care anything about my alarm problem. When I could not find in the store what the representative had requested that I needed, I again called back and got Jason who showed compassion and concern and was very sensitive to my situation and sent a tech out to repair/replace my needed item. Thank You Jason.

What got me excited about signing up with Vivint was that I asked how long it will take installing because I didn't have a lot of time and then the guys set up and were in and out within an hour just like all wireless and I liked it. Back then, I had the indoor camera, not a night camera but a basic one that swiveled or moved, the automatic door locks and a garage door sensor, then I added the glass breaking section and a better camera with night vision. I had the same sales representative from my first purchase and my additional ones and I have nothing but good things to say about the guy.
The only complaint I have is that the keypad entry for my garage door always gives me trouble. When I punch in, it makes a sound and the garage door is always really slow to open. Over the years it's gotten really slower. I back out and set the alarm and it would say my garage door is open and it's not. The mechanism doesn't all the way shut. The guys came out and fixed it a couple times and I was ready to call somebody to see if I can get a service out for it but I didn't want to pay for it, though.
It's an American Company and I call people in Utah, not India. They're always upbeat and they troubleshoot me in really good except one time, but I think the guy was new. I don't have any really glitches or problems. They've always been on the ball when an alarm goes off. When making dinner, smoking out back the house, not setting the alarm or the wind opening the door, they're always quick to call me. Really happy with the service apart from the garage door.

I'm trying to figure out this camera as it works sometime and sometimes doesn't. When somebody comes to my door, my phone is supposed to let me know somebody is at the door. They came and put a new camera in. That was the fourth person that had to come out here when they finally replaced it because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. It shouldn't have taken that long for them to figure out what was wrong with it. If it wasn't working then they should've replaced it instead of keep sending people trying to make it work. I'm assuming that this one might work better. But yesterday I was at the store and it didn't ring and my girlfriend called me on my cellphone to tell me she rung the doorbell but it never rung. I said I was going to try it out and see if it works.
I don't have a problem with the service. It's just that the equipment has not been working. I have been a loyal customer for 10 years, but I have a hard time getting an appointment with Vivint. Whereas, I have friends who could easily get an appointment to get their new system right away. I shouldn't have to wait a whole month to get somebody out here when somebody getting a new system put in gets serviced right away. That's the only problem I have with Vivint. When I first got Vivint, you could call them on the phone and they would answer the phone. Now you call on the phone and they'll leave you on hold for 15 minutes.

I love Vivint. Corey from installation was excellent. He’s a really nice guy who knows his stuff and is really easy to work with. He listens and takes the time to explain things to you. He installed our system, and a while back, the service was perfect. The only problem I had was when they put in the detector upstairs, because it kept going off at 2 o'clock in the morning, and it makes my husband irate. I finally had to take it off the ceiling and disconnect it. I had a thermostat, but it wasn’t working, so I traded it out, and I also got the doorbell camera which allows me to lock my door at night using my iPad. However, when I go into the camera and want to delete some old motion things on the door, it's bogging down my iPad. There’s no way to delete them as a group, so I have to delete each one separately.
Since I'm paying what I’m paying every month, Vivint can give me a couple of cameras that I can put outside that's connected to the system because there's been a lot of break-ins around our area lately. I'd like to get one on my driveway and one on my side door as long as it's not going to cost a fortune because it's expensive to put this in. All in all, there are a few tweaks that needs to be done, but I wouldn't be without a security system. And I'm getting it for our house in Calgary too.

I like Vivint's mobile phone features.

Had I been told right away, I wouldn't have sat on the phone for an hour. They told me that I would have to call back to find out if the update is ready and they will not call me for that because they can't call everybody. I have not been happy with that. Other than that, their service has been good.

My house was already pre-wired so everything just connected. The installation team were cool guys and they knew what they were doing.

I tried to pay my Vivint account off because the service is terrible and I want to switch and go back to ADT as Vivint services were not everything they promised it to be. When I called on two separate occasions I was given two different payoff amounts but when I was sent to finance office to make the payment I received a third amount quoted. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to get a buyout amount. Then on the third call I talked with another person and he told me that I made a verbal agreement over the phone to extend my services for another 42 months to receive a lower rate. At that point he quoted me a fourth price which was twice as high as the first two and when I asked him to send me a copy of the verbal agreement he advised I would have to have my attorney to contact them to request physical proof of a verbal conversation that was not fully clear about the extension to another 42 months.
I then tried to call the corporate office and someone again picked up at Customer Care and began to tell me the same thing even I asked to talk with someone in Corporate. Why should I need a court order to get a copy of a verbal agreement that Vivint is using for proof that I made an agreement. I should be able to request physical proof if they are going to expect me to pay additional $1024 on a services that barely works. I would tell anyone check out Vivint before they sign with them and there are much better companies out there without the hidden tactics.

Initially, I got Vivint's lights, cameras, and doors. Now, I have the doorbell and the garage opener. One part of the process I wasn’t impressed with was the sales. The follow-up of the sales rep wasn’t very good. He promised some things which he didn’t give me. However, the service is good. I had two installations—one in McAllen, and another in Houston. Initially, I had the service done at my home in McAllen, and the installation guy they sent sucked. He ended up blowing a fuse on my air conditioning. On the other hand, in Houston, the installation representative was phenomenal. I really like the product and the service, now that I have it.
