My technician Elijah was super quick and efficient. He was very thorough with the install. He took the time to make sure I was tracking everything and understood everything. Would recommend getting him for sure! He represents the company well. The salespeople were also great. Took their time with me and were kind.

The salesman and technician were both very helpful in the process. Within a few hours of selling me the equipment a technician was there to install. They were both very professional and worked very hard on to get it done quickly and efficiently. We’ve had the service for about few days now and it works a lot better than our other store bought cameras.

I’m getting used to it. A survey should come after a week or so of using the system. So far, it’s ok. It does pick up a person at a good distance. It does let me know. I like the flashing lights at night. The bird chirp is different.. but it’s an attention getter. Only time will tell.

I really don’t like how you guys started off lying to me in the beginning about my appointment. Not very happy with this company. I asked the guy before he left if there was anything else. His respond was everything works properly. My cameras don’t work properly. Then they want to charge you $100 to come out for something they didn’t get right the first time! I’m not being reimburse for taking off work to call them to fix the problem so no, I don’t want to pay the $100 for them to come back out and make something right they didn’t get right the first time. I hope they treat someone else better than they did me. Not to mention the lagging the app does and takes 30-1 minute to load on phone. Feel like this is a complete waste of my time.

Incredibly disappointed in this company and its service! The app is always undergoing maintenance. The cameras constantly go offline and have to be rebooted. For a security system this is unacceptable!

My initial thought of owning Vivint was the expense but one would need to explain customers that there are two separate billing, it is not in one setting bill. But the service overall is good. Technician was wonderful, efficient and friendly. And pricing is reasonable. Be sure to check the cost and billing. But it is worth to secure your home.

Just want to take a moment to place the spot light on the exceptional Vivint Sales Representative, Leon, 29 June 2025 and the Technician, Micheal **, who performed the installation of our new Vivint (Home) security system installed on or about 1 July 2025. Leon was professional and took the time to provide the Pros and Cons for moving from Brinks to Vivint. At no time did Leon resort to any pressure sales tactics! That was greatly appreciated. His dynamic presentation and the impressive Vivint equipment sold my wife and I on the need for switching over to the Vivint products and services. Michael was not only very personable, but went out of his way to answer all of our questions (often going in to great detail). He spent a considerable amount of time surveying our residence which served us well when it came down to determining the best location for installing the cameras. The overall experience couldn't have gone any better!

A lot of people are quite happy with Vivint and it gets high marks from tech reviewers, but I want to warn you to be careful, especially if dealing with their door-to-door reps. I made the mistake of falling for the pitch from a Vivint salesman a few years ago. We had been considering getting a doorbell camera, and we were interested. But the very first thing I asked was, "Is there a contract?" I later asked that question two more times to confirm, also asking if I would be able to cancel at any time. Each time, he dismissively assured us that there were no contracts and I could cancel.
We mentioned that we were renters, and again, he said no worries, no permission needed. (Discovered later on the website that permission is needed. Our landlord was POd.) So, we signed up. Within a year, it stopped working. It has been dead for years. But collections? Oh, they are working hard. Canceling and asking that equipment be returned is useless because... drum roll.... there is a contract. They call it a "financial-services agreement." Duh. That's a contract. So now a debt collector wants $700+ and Vivint wants $800+ for a dead system. BE WARNED. BE AWARE. BE VERY CAREFUL!

Jacob was a great installer. He worked hard and sweated profusely in the attic. Give this guy a raise. I assisted him with putting a centrally located outlet in the attic to speed up install and keep it clean without leaving wiring exposed on the walls. I recommended to Spencer (Salesman) that you guys should have a certified electrician on staff to install these outlets in a centrally located area in the attic. It will speed up the overall installation of the cameras. I've only had the system for 24 hours at this point. I may update review as time progresses.

The first experience was TERRIBLE! The young man took my information and never returned. This is a disservice to the company because it made it appear as a scam. Koonar did service recovery for sure.

If I could leave 0 I would. I would not recommend this company. The salesperson lied and told me it was NOT ran on WiFi which is why “it’s the best security system out there” and considering we live in Florida I was so thankful to be able to see my cameras during evacuations. Immediately I started having connection issues only to be told by customer tech support the salesman lied and it’s absolutely ran on WiFi. I am rebooting the system 2-3 x per week at minimum.
The installation was horrific. They left large unpatched holes in multiple walls, and incorrectly wired some. One the brought the cable under the faceplate of the outlet so it bulges the faceplate out deeming the plug useless because it is no longer flush to the wall. The camera does not work 95% of the time bc the plug just falls out. The doorbell was installed and old one removed and left to look like garbage. He did not even clean up, there was dust from drilling in the walls all over my home.
When I asked to have someone else come back and correct these issues they sent the same 18 - 20 year old who fixed nothing. The salesman said “it’s important he learn to correct his mistakes” which he was incapable of doing. I’m bound by a contract for thousands of dollars for a service that is unusable at least 30% of the time overall.

Great products that you can choose from to build the security system you want or within your budget. Seth did a great job explaining all the products they offer, the cost of each and for just $1.48 to get the installation completely done and ready to use in 1 1/2 hours was great. We would definitely recommend the company for the leadership honesty and commitment to make sure we understand every aspect from start to finish. Great price for what you're getting overall. Thanks to all that helped to secure our home.

We scheduled a service appointment with Vivint on Wednesday to replace a garage door sensor. The appointment was set for 4pm–8pm—no one showed up and no one called. When we followed up the next day, the customer service rep treated us like we were making it up, even after we provided screenshots of the confirmation text.
They rescheduled us for Thursday from 1pm–4pm. Again—no call, no show. We called back and were met with more excuses and dismissive attitudes. After going in circles for five minutes, I finally had to threaten to cancel our service before they reluctantly rescheduled us again for Friday morning from 8am–12 noon, and only then agreed to waive the fee. This is completely unacceptable for a home security company. If this is how they respond to service issues, I have zero faith in how they’d respond during a real emergency. Looking into canceling Vivint entirely. They’ve lost our trust.

I had a great experience with this home security company, thanks to Caeden and Jonpaul. From the beginning, Caeden made the process simple and stress-free. He listened to what we needed and helped us choose the right system—no pressure, just helpful guidance. What impressed me most was how fast everything happened. We had same-day installation, which was a huge plus. Jonpaul, the technician, showed up on time and was completely professional. He got everything installed quickly and walked us through how to use the system step by step. He answered all our questions and made sure we felt confident using the setup before he left. The system itself works great, and we immediately felt a difference in peace of mind. Everything was done right the first time—no hassles, no surprises. If you’re looking for reliable home security with great customer service, I highly recommend Vivint.

I have been a Vivint customer for about four years. They require a professional installation and the monitoring service is expensive. However, I have been generally satisfied with their service. My experience with installers who came to the house has been good. The technical support I received a couple of weeks ago was also very good. Yesterday, I had the first nightmarish experience with their customer service. All I wanted to do was to receive instructions on how to return a key fob, which is a worthless product. When I called the main customer service number, I was given the opportunity to use their text option. I did that and soon enough I was told that they could not assist me via text. I called again and got to talk to Juan, who could not help and was extremely difficult to understand due to a very heavy accent.
I was then directed to Miller, who appeared to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, he forgot to adjust the monthly rate; as a result, the service email I received was quoting a price more than $20 a month higher than what we agreed. When I responded to the email, the reply was that the email is not monitored. I had to call again. This time I am talking to Joyce. After I was put on hold for the fourth or fifth time, I end up talking to Miller. It appears that Miller resolved the issue. I estimate that the whole affair took more than two hours of my time and theirs. Totally unacceptable! I am no longer recommending Vivint to anyone.

Been a Vivint customer for some time and I have experienced issues from day 1 that never went away. These included technicians running through my home, equipment failure, scheduling issues, 4 hours wait times to speak with customer service reps, lies from Vivint customer service reps, no one in area to service equipment, and the end all be all was when a rep arrived to service my equipment broke my attic door lied about it only to later admit to doing so. Then having to fight with customer service to restore back to its original condition. I would AVOID this company.
I was told prior to ultimately deciding to enter a contract with Vivint that it was not a good choice. I was told this company rebranded some years due to their poor reputation in efforts to reestablish a "good name." I should have taken their advice; this is not a reputable company. If you're reading this do your own research, you will be glad that you did!!

Technician came out and set up all new system in our house. We’ve used Vivint for a few years now. I set my appointment telling them we are not available before 3 pm any day, as I work days and my husband works nights. They set the appointment for noon-4 and told me not to worry! A tech won’t be there before 3 pm and they’d make sure of it. The day before they call and tell me the latest the tech can arrive is 1 pm and they’d couldn’t do a 3 pm tech arrival. Thus forcing us to move around our schedules. Anyone who renovated a house and works a corporate job with a spouse working overnights knows how hard this is when you’re using all your pro to move/renovate… So we’re already not happy about the installation times. On setup I talked to a rep on the phone and texted stating my husband would be home for the technician.
After the setup I guess the tech needs you to sign into the account on your phone. I got a call from my husband with the tech with him and informed them I was driving and unable to access my phone. The technician was very insistent for me to unlock my phone and hit a bypass confirmation button. I repeated told him I was driving with no pull off, as I was in a tunnel, and that there was construction out of the tunnel making it so there is no pull off area and I don’t have good service in this area, topped with usual slow moving traffic in an area that is prone to accidents. I repeated this many times and also my husband told him that it was a bad area and I probably couldn’t do it, that he was able to and IN PERSON with his phone. Technician refused and became rude. Told me he sent me a link and I needed to press it and it was “time sensitive” and needs to be done within 5 minutes.
I told him I could maybe get to an interstate exit in 10 minutes and safely pull over. He became rude and continued to pressure me to press the link and sign into the app. I suppose this was because the technician time ends at 4 pm, as the rep told me the appointment was 12-4pm and that was the last call for the tech. After more pressuring I finally got to a safe point and was able to log in. The technician was still very rude and seemed annoyed. He got aggravated and asked if the rep told me if it was okay my husband was there and not me. In the state that I am living it is illegal to touch your phone while operating a motor vehicle. This was horrible customer service. At the end of this contract I will be switching to a better security service with better customer service. To top it they didn’t even give me a receipt.

I had an awful experience with Vivint. I called for emergency help, as my carbon monoxide detector was alarming. Instead of Vivint checking to make sure I was safe they tried to sell me more product. As I was telling her that my concern was safety, and not buying more products, she continued to try and sell me cameras for my home. On top of this although I pay for a protection plan she proceeded to tell me that someone checking on this could cost me $100. To make a long story short.

Truly I was impressed by the presentation of Vivint's first representative. She was very professionally inclined about Vivint's security system products. At first I thought why would I want to cancel my service with ADT. So she explained to me cameras for the front yard and back yard. Even the doorbell has a camera. I like it when someone approaches my home, I will hear a whistle. She explained to me that even though my rear sliding door had a sensor. The glass can be broken to gain access to my home and the alarm will not go off. I was not aware of that issue. So now I have a sensor on my sliding door and all the downstairs windows. Two smoke detectors have been installed and connected to the fire department (awesome). So good by ADT and hello Vivint. Oh by the way Vivint brought out my existing contract from ADT.

The sales process was a total bait and switch. The sales person came into my home saying it would be a fantastic deal, only mentioning the actual price at the very end when I was too dizzy with information to follow along. They started the installation process - which left my house a mess - at 10pm so that they could run out their three-day return policy in the blink of an eye. My system wasn’t properly up and running for two weeks, so how could I know if I liked it or not? Tried mightily to return it. Do not recommend. ***Do not let these people into your home. They are the ones robbing you.***

I had someone come to my house in I believe 2021 to sell me a Vivint security system. I was excited because I had ADT when we first moved in and their cameras were horrible, then we switched to NorthStar and their system turned bad as well. Vivint had excellent reviews and better cameras. The first 6 months to a year were great. However after that year our doorbell camera would freeze, playback was spotty, sometimes I couldn't access the cameras from the app. Eventually after calling them the app started working again. Then in 2023 I got a call to upgrade our system with new spotlights which I was excited about because our spotlights on the house just didn't work. I asked for a demonstration and they told me that's usually what they did before scheduling an install and if I chose to get one it would be a couple hundred dollars, but only bring my bill up about $5 more a month. Sounded good to me. I was wrong.
They sent someone to install it and when she came she was so unprofessional. She complained that I told her it was supposed to just be a demonstration, then bragged about how she couldn't wait to get another employee in trouble for "installing my camera too high". She quilted me into getting the spotlight that day (which I figured I was getting anyway but I didn't like how she went about it). Afterwards I found out that surprise surprise the extra equipment was $600 on my bill. Of course nothing could be done and I got empty apologies. Fast forward to 2025 when we're moving across country. I called Vivint to move our services from our old address to our new one. The rep I spoke with told me I could either have my renters signed over to the contract (when we get them as the house is vacant due to upgrades) or switch the service to our new address.
I said we'd move the service. Then she said we can leave that equipment behind and get all new equipment because "that's what most people do". I asked her several times about just leaving the equipment and she was sure that was fine and she said yes. Then she kept pushing to set up new installation, that with a certain promotion we would get 6 months for free if we spent $2200 on equipment. I was tired from getting stuff packed and moved, I built a package of 2 cameras, 2 spotlights, a free panel and sensors, 2 door locks, and a doorbell camera. She said she needed to get over the threshold for a certain amount to get me the 6 months for free. I figured okay cool. Wrong.
We do our cross country move and I reach back out through text with her so we can get it set up. Only then, after we've been told to leave all of our equipment behind, does she tell me we still have to pay off that other equipment, what we were paying on it doesn't transfer over to the new address, which is what she led me to believe. And now all Vivint will offer is to train their employee better. Nothing about the $1300 I still owe on the other equipment, just oh well there's "nothing they can do" unless I drive back to my old house and uninstall my equipment and bring it back. Which is what I asked about in the beginning. And now I'm on hold for so far an hour to try and cancel services because they are a horrible company.

The service technician mentioned “adjusting” my lock on my door so it worked better. Since installation it’s been nothing but problems. It’s been three months of constant issues. The lock will stay unlocked or refuse to lock. The app will say it’s unlocked when it’s locked. The batteries drain without fail every two weeks. You never know when it’s going to happen so your options are leave your home unlocked or risk coming home being unable to get back in. The amount of money I’ve had to pay locksmiths at this point is ridiculous. And you have to argue with them to send a technician that btw they will charge you for.
Literally just got off the phone for who knows how many times I’ve had to call and they’re finally sending someone…in a week and a half. I’m calling billing first thing tomorrow to pay off equipment and switch to someone else. Don’t pay attention to the deals and price point. It is not worth it having to deal with the constant issues. Just look at the bad reviews. If you get someone who installs the lock incorrectly you are screwed.
