    The salesmen from Vivint were very cute and very personable young men. I'm 90 years old and they sold me right off the bat. I purchased their alarm system. I've been very satisfied with the service. I highly recommend it to anyone.

    When the salesmen showed up at my door I was 8 months pregnant, they guilt tripped me saying I needed to protect my baby, and they told me there had been a string or burglaries in my neighborhood. They also said they wanted to make us a model home, and told us not to tell anyone we were paying the low price of $60 a mo. I didn't even agree to it by the time they had the contract done, and were asking me to sign it, and naively I agreed. They told me it was a 3 year contract (April of 2013), and sent a tech over to my home that night to install it, he was there till after midnight, and I had to work the next day.

    After the baby was born the alarm kept telling me my downstairs living room window was opening, and had me convinced somebody was breaking in. I was home alone with a newborn, after that it started going off regularly. Then at night when we would set the alarm it would happen, it turns out it was a faulty sensor. But it kept setting the alarm off and the operator would come on it to see if we were okay. They woke my newborn up on 3 different occasions, so I was forced to stop using it, and turn off all the sensors telling me the window was opening. I have felt much more unsafe having it, because it has made me paranoid, and no alarm should ever do that.

    I called customer service, and told them that I was only able to use the alarm system for approx. 3 mo, and they took $10 a mo off my bill for 6 mo (not much of a compensation I felt like). I also asked if I could cancel it, where they informed me that I was in a 3 1/2 year contract (not what I had agreed to, I was told 3 years). Then my door opener batteries started only lasting 2 weeks, so they sent a tech out to fix it, but they wanted to charge me $80 to fix the window sensor, even though it was originally their mistake, so I declined. Have been paying $60 a month, because they will not allow you out of a contract, for absolutely no service. They are a horribly, dishonest company. Take your business elsewhere, because they will find any way to screw you over.

    We fell victim to the door to door salesman saying that there had been a lot of break-ins in our area a few summers ago. So we decided to take a chance because the monitoring and system seemed to be a reasonable price. This is where the nightmare began. The salesman visited us once in the evening and then stopped back the next day with a contract. When he stopped he talked us out of getting the remote fob, glass breakage sensors, and window sensors. Then when the installer arrived a few hours later, he insisted we would want the Key FOB and made a very good argument for needing one. Well it was no longer offered for free and we had to pay out of pocket for it. It would have been included if we had not been talked out of it earlier the same day. The install itself was painless, minus minor wall damage, but we chalked it up as being minimal because he did have to wire the panel to the outlet. That was bad experience #1.

    During our contract, I did call customer service about a new sign which had been hit by my landscaper. They did send one very quickly but while on that call, complained about the sales tactics, so they offered to send out window sensors, but their solution was, "You install them yourself, then call us to activate." They sat in a drawer for the rest of the contract because I didn't have the first clue of what to do and didn't want to ruin brand new windows trying to play installer myself.

    Then just this year back in August, my ex and I separated. I moved out of the house because it was easier, then while I was away the security panel was ripped off the wall and destroyed, no phone call, nothing. The house was vandalized to the tune of over $17,000 and the response from Vivint was, they did receive a low battery notification, attempted to call me, which I never received, and that the power source must have been shut off at the time. So a home security system could be powered down, even though it has battery back up, to the point where it can be ripped off the wall destroyed, and then they don't even notify?

    Customer service was a pain in the you know what. I was on the phone for over a half an hour because they wanted to charge me $49 service call fee to come look at and survey the damage. I refused because I felt they had some responsibility, then they offered to reduce the service call to $24, which I still refused. Finally they waived the fee after I told them I was just going to go to Best Buy and get a DIY system. They did send someone out within a week. He was very nice and replaced the panel and provided (2) new key fobs free of charge. Well now I'm out of contract and looking to get a security system installed in the property I'm living in now. I will definitely be much smarter this time around and look at all options.

    I purchased the security for our cabin and our garage from Vivint because we had some trouble up there with break-ins. When they installed it and then I had a question or two, I phoned them and they gave me the answers. The installation team was very good. Very satisfied except we’ve had trouble with the battery not charging because there’s no heat in the cabin in the winter time. The cabin has electrical on winter but there’s no heat so the battery won’t operate as well. The button was in the door and it hasn't created problem at all. It’s just the one on the panel. What we’ve done is bought a battery charger, a battery mat. It’s something you would put around the battery in a car to keep it warm and we taped that over the panel and it seems to be working well. But, that’s something they need to look at when they put some security into places like cabins, dwellings in a country as cold as ice or can be - some way of keeping the panel warm so that they work. The installer didn’t tell us about this.

    Original Review: Dec. 20, 2014

    We chose this service because we were victims of a home burglary. Our system was installed on 12/06/14. One of our cameras went offline after 15 minutes. We called cust. care. They attempted to troubleshoot but were unsuccessful. They scheduled us an appointment on 12/20/2014. We had no choice but to be patient. We were notified by voicemail on 12/17/14 that the appointment would be between 12pm and 4pm. This was great because we would be leaving for vacation by 6pm. On 12/19/14, I received an email stating the appointment would be between 4pm and 8pm.

    I immediately contacted customer care. I asked the representative what happened to the earlier appointment and she stated there may have been a system glitch. I explained to her that we were supposed to leave for vacation that evening. The representative took it upon herself to cancel our appointment and then said "I'm sorry but the next available date is 01/12/15." I spoke with a customer care manager who apologized for the rep's actions and basically said "We will coach her but there is nothing we can do about that appointment." We will be without coverage because of their mistake. I am livid. It's enough to make me want to go elsewhere. We are still without an appointment and the camera is still offline.

    I've been with them for over five years. My experience with them is kind of hit and miss a little bit because some of the people I talked to are really great and some of the people never get back to me.

    Vivint wasn’t Vivint at first. It was another company. The system seemed to work pretty good. But then after maybe six months, they sent me a letter saying that Vivint had bought the company. So I had a few things with the system for a while where I had to call them and they had to reset the main control box. But the worst thing was when on August the 30th my house caught on fire and it didn't even call the fire department. It didn't call me either. I don’t know exactly what happened, but my home was totally destroyed. Anyway, they wanted me to send them a copy of the fire report from the fire department, and I have sent them one copy. But as of now they’re still charging me and I don’t even have a home.

    Also, I’ve got an apartment and I talked to one of the gentlemen about possibly getting a Vivint system put in my apartment because after something like that, you don’t want that to happen again. Vivint had my apartment manager send them a letter saying it will be okay to put a system in my apartment and I haven’t heard anything back from them. That one kind of threw me because Vivint is a great company but through this ordeal with the fire they are kind of making me wonder about them.

    I had been talking to some of the Vivint guys and they told me they would do everything they could do to help me. But since I’m in process now of getting my house demolished and I’ve been just busy trying to get that done, I haven’t had a chance to call Vivint back.

    We have had our system 6 months and have not had 1 month service. Anytime we phoned in it was 1-2 weeks or more before they could come out. We are away a lot and thought this would be a good system to install. In talking to service, they agreed that this was not acceptable service and that we would be put on a priority list. We were contacted shortly after that someone was coming out in a few days. Something came up and we had to cancel but the message never got through to the tech that arrived 10 minutes before we were about to leave! This would have been the 7th call. I've lost track but I think we're on our 3rd panel. We tried to get out of our contract but it would cost us $1,500. If we're stuck with it for the next 45 months it’s coming out as soon as the contracts up.

    Vivint came to the door and spoke with my wife. At that time we had ADT and they ended up putting us in with Vivint for the complete house, with the exception of the front door, side door, windows, the smoke and fire alarm. I had a situation where they didn't pick up the fact that we had a window that was monitored, and they put that right on the program and walked me through over the phone and it's been good so far. The sales representative was very positive, not pushy and very pleasurable. I didn't expect that from the door-to-door salesman and was surprised. The technician was very professional and I was very impressed. He was there within 45 minutes to an hour and took about an hour to get everything in. When I did make contact with them, wait time was very, very minimal, very professional on the phone. The salesperson and the technician were very professional and not pushy - that was the best part.

    To make this brief: the Vivint salesperson was walking through the neighborhood, walked up to our home and told us he would like to make our home a show home for Vivint. We informed the salesperson that we would be moving in a couple months and that we wouldn't have a new home for sometime around a year. The salesperson told me that it wouldn't be an issue, we just had to call the customer service line, inform the agent that we were leaving and they would put our account on hold until we were able to find a new home to have the system installed. We wanted a security system and the plan he explained sounded like it would work for our current situation.

    At the time of our move I called the customer service line and explained the situation. I was promptly informed that nowhere in the agreement they received did it state that we would be moving, nor did it list the fact that the sales rep told us that our account could be deferred until we found a new home. We were told that our account was too new to place on hold and that we would be responsible for making the monthly payments. The salesperson lied about the deferment in order to get us to sign the contract. We will now be paying our monthly rates without being able to use the system. Very disappointed in what looked like a promising system...

    Further issues: our alarm sounded in our home, glass break, took a security guard 1 hour to get to our home. We were at work and made it home before the security guard, not a police officer, even arrived. Again, very disappointed.

    May 2013 is when services began with Vivint. My partner was bullied into the contract by the sales pro. The sales pro ran my partner's info and was declined for service. The pro then asked about me and my info. I work oilfield and am always out. I was not able to sign or authorize the charges. Texas is not an equal state, therefore, your tech should not have pressured the information out of my partner. Since then the system has failed multiple times. The motion sensors have cost me 75 dollars in fees for false alarms. The door locks have been replaced four different times. The last time they came to replace it the tech was only told to replace one lock. The reason Vivint didn't know I had two door locks on my system. The two locks they re-installed many times. The rep on the phone was combative, telling me I only had the one lock! I responded with, "how well are you monitoring my home if you don't even know what my system options are?"

    So, they are currently working at two completely different colors. Vivint has put up a passive aggressive fight to not change the color of the lock. Their technician has also let me know that the lock failing to work is a common occurrence, and to just call in when it breaks so they can replace them. So far that is a monthly event. I have had to take off over a weeks worth of work to be able to deal with this situation. The company tried to appease me by giving me two months worth of credit, which is nice.

    I have called to cancel services and they are saying that it will cost over 3,000 dollars to cancel. That is ridiculous! My house cannot be properly secured with their faulty equipment. I have been on hold with customer service for over 24 hours trying to resolve this problem. I am tired of dealing with Vivint and their lack of customer appreciation.

    My family was approached early this year Vivint Solar about solar panels and after doing some online research we agreed to move forward. A few months later we were approach by Vivint Sky for home security as well. After agreeing on the contract they immediately set up the equipment and got everything up and running. We were told by our sales rep that we would get free months and even a free external camera for referrals. We were able to refer some people who decided to move forward with the service as well and agreed with our sales rep on a free camera and free month of service. This was about 6 weeks ago. We have been given the run-around ever since with broken promises of installation dates and all the excuses you can think of for not living up to their end of the bargain.

    We elevated the issue to a manager, who has also yet to resolve the issue after empty commitments and promises. Now we are being told we misunderstood what the offer was even though we have in writing the text conversation stating that Vivint would cover the cost of the external camera as well as now 2 free months of service. Not only are they not living up to their promise but they are flat out lying about what was promised. I am still waiting to hear a response now that we sent in writing where it states we are owed an outdoor camera, but I am obviously upset that we need to prove this in the first place. As someone in sales, I am particularly sensitive to salespeople who make promises and then do not deliver, much less lie to their clients.

    On top of this, we have had issues with our existing camera being able to record video. The issue began a month and a half ago and after a few days we called customer service. We went through the usual steps to reset the camera but still nothing. Eventually they informed us that a firmware update was needed and that the company was aware of this and working on it. The rep then said they would contact us once the firmware issue was addressed to confirm the camera was working again. After another 2 weeks of nothing, we called them back a few more times and walked through a number of other steps until we were able to get the camera to start working properly again. My issue was they were supposed to proactively address the issue once we made them aware of it but it was us who had to constantly initiate the discussions to get the problem resolved. While home security is important to me, not at the expense of my free time, which has been taken up significantly by this company over the last two months. Needless to say between the equipment issues and the poor customer service I would not recommend this company or their services to anyone. I will be looking to cancel my contract as soon as possible and be done with this company.

    After The Vivint system was installed, I'm very happy with the security systems and the solar panel and the job that they do. I am not happy with the billing for the solar panels because it was very sporadic and unreliable in the beginning and now the last 2 or 3 months they finally separated my bill. Last month it was the 25th before they took the money out and that was unacceptable for me. Before that it was the 20th. I would recommend Vivint to my friends but I would tell them what to expect first.

    My cousin had a Vivint system installed into her home. I loved the keypad entry feature and heard a lot about her ability to monitor her home from her phone (via security cameras). When I recently purchased my new home, I also had the Vivint security system installed. It is probably one of the best decisions I could've made. Not only do I love the system's features, but the sense of security that I feel 24hours a day is priceless!! I would definitely recommend Vivint Security to anyone.

    We got the security of our doors and camera from Vivint. We needed it to be protected. The sales representative was very courteous and the technicians were on time. I was satisfied up until last month. Our door had stopped alarming when you open it. We had a customer service rep helped me with it. They said that the module was bad and they were going to order some new one. And we never got the module - it was never ordered so that was disappointing. Luckily the door started alarming again on its own. Then our camera went out. It stopped recording at the end of October. The customer representative did everything he could over the phone but other than that, it was less than good. I have to wait until January to get it fixed because they couldn't get a technician out here any sooner than that.

    I want to get some kind of reimbursement or my bills will be adjusted for the two months that I haven't had a camera. I talked to them and they said that once they get it fixed, then to remind the technician who put in for my bill to adjust. I don't think that's the way it should be. It should be taken care of right off the get-go. I would not recommend them to my friends.

    I have no complaints with Vivint. The live system works well and is user friendly. The only thing was they give you a little yard sign that you put out on your driveway that says Vivint. It’s an octagonal, red or orange sign. The nice thing, which I never seen before, is they have little teeny lights that’s on top of the pole to light out the sign and they’re solar powered. So in the evening if burglars driving by, he can see that you’ve got Vivint security. But the darn lights break and fall off. They’re not very sturdy, lasted for the first 4 months and were no good anymore. It was a great concept and I loved it. But I don’t know how to replace those or get new ones, and that’s a minor thing. The service has been great. I’ve had no false alarms and the installation was very professional.

    With having moved into a new neighborhood, we decided to get a security system for reassurance. We love Vivint having 5 of our kids working for Vivint. They really took care of us to make sure we were a legit smart home family. Although we have not had an incident, thank goodness, we love our system and the ease of using it. We are so thankful for the safe feeling we have had with our Vivint system. We are also happy with the savings on our utility bills having the thermostat and appliance module. Thank you Vivint for giving us the freedom of reassurance. Thank you for being so good to our kids that have worked for you. A company of integrity, generosity and love. Thank you.

    The initial installation was bad. The rep was not educated. He rushed through the installation and had no time to explain the system. The system now runs very good after a second rep fixed the problems. The only problem is that the batteries of the door lock deplete too quick. The monthly costs are also very high and not competitive, so we will look somewhere else after our 2 years. Overall we are fairly happy with the system.

    I haven't even had my system for a month and it's a hot mess. My screen started off rebooting over and over, then it froze, and now it won't turn on. I purchased 6 glass break sensors and spent about $700 out of pocket only to be treated with mediocre service. I can't get a tech out here until December 15th, that's about almost three weeks without protection. (I'm posting this review a bit after the issues began.)

    I received no sympathy and terrible service every time both my husband and I have called. They offered a credit to my account but what good will that do me when I need to protect my family. I am disheartened by both the quality of the equipment and customer service. I understand equipment is sometimes bad out of the box but when I have it less than a month and Vivint tries to charge me $50 to send a tech out it's just infuriating. I'm extremely disappointed to say the least.

The Vivint employee was very professional, calm, and contact 911 and the local authorities right away. I was talking with the Vivint employee while my daughter was on the phone with my husband.

    I am retired and receive disability. I set aside monies for my bills once a month. Vivint charged me a payment that was incorrect. By doing this, it made some of my payments insufficient. They were paid by my bank. But it's awful to put it mildly what I went through this October this year. To make a long story short, I had to go through this again this month in December. Once again I have overage in my checking account. I don't have the monies to pay $30.00 for a $5.99, $5.00 and a $50.00. When I contacted vivint once again all they could say is "I'm sorry I understand what you are going through". That's not helping me at all. You don't know what I'm going through. You try to do what's right by paying your bill on time and you do this to me. Very disappointed in your company.

    I'm very satisfied with my home security system with Vivint. The technicians that installed the system were good. We got what we paid for. Right now, we had an incident when something happened to my air conditioning and it got up to 90 degrees in here. We opened some windows and tried turning it off but it wouldn't go off so we finally got the said thing fixed. But when we got the air fixed and close the windows and re-lock them, the function where it used to say when somebody is at the door, whether it's the entry door or back door and let me know doesn't work anymore. I called somebody to try to get it fixed and they couldn't fix it. They said I have to go into my closet and get the face off of the system back there but I'm handicapped and I can't do that. So it has never worked since. Other than that, I am very satisfied with their service.

The responses I got were very indefinite and not a favorable response. They told me that they could come in on December 31st of 2014 to change that out. What’s supposed to happen between December 7th or 8th, whenever that was, and December 31st? Am I all of a sudden not going to be protected? I was not very pleased at all with the response that I got. If the battery is low and they’re not going to render me more security than that, so from now to December 31st, who cares? My experience has been favorable until this last encounter I had with them. I was not happy.

    I would not recommend them to anybody. First of all, because when they came in, I had ADT. This was several years ago. They came in and presumably, they were the same company and were just trying to give me a better deal. It turned out they are a completely different company.
