Dustin was absolutely the man. He was professional, kind, and most importantly flexible. We kept changing and adding to the order and he just kept installing one thing after another. He was great to talk with and did an amazing job.

It was a great experience. It doesn't take long to see if you're qualified and the set up went smoothly. The overall price that I'm paying a month is not bad for how many cameras I got. Everyone that came to do their job did great.

Our technician Ariel was friendly, professional, prompt and super knowledgeable! He walked us through the entire process, making sure everything we selected was proper for our needs. He made sure we understood all cameras, how they worked, and explained the panel we purchased as well before leaving. He ensured we didn’t have any system issues and even was helpful in making sure we had extra protection indoors, which I hadn’t thought of prior. To say I am very satisfied is an understatement.

Tech Ron was really professional and polite. He did a clean job during the install and was able to get the job done early in the morning which was convenient for us. Will be recommending family and friends.

Buyer beware! Too much to list in one thread. Essentially they sold me a non working service and refused to let me out of the contract without paying over 10k in equipment and monitoring service that did not exist for over two years. Then threatened to send me to collections if I did not pay for the service I did not have for two years and all equipment that I tried to return shortly after their installers destroyed my house. Not once but three separate times they destroyed my house and refused to fix. Stay away from this company! They also have lost several lawsuits for stealing your personal info and selling it to other parties along with other lawsuits that are currently going on! This company is pure and simple a scam! Oh, also, When I removed there system I didn't get one phone call to say my house was being broken into or the system was being tampered with! Go to Bettershake.com to look up lawsuits.

Sales agent Clair, was very persuasive, touted its advantages, but certain things promise, were not included at time of install. Install was rushed, same day, cameras should have been mounted a little higher, the 60 month contract unlike ADT 24 months, is too long & not beneficial to cancel early. Their APP does not since its last two updates, does not communicate with its main hub, and it's very buggy. We still don't have proper use, of the front camera. There is a period of time every morning, it does not record at all. Numerous attempts online & by phone, have been unsuccessful in remedy this problem. What good is a home security service if it is not recording 24/7? It's these reasons, I don't recommend this company. The few advantages, don't warrant the bad 60 month expensive commitment, & poor AAP build, is not worth the money we paid.

The salesman was great. He was personable, knew his product, and was helpful in designing a system that met our personal needs. After that it was downhill. Installer started around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He told us it would take 2 1/2 hours. He did not leave until 10:15 PM and the job is still not complete. He appeared to lack confidence, was hard to hear, and not very personable. Working at a customer's home that late at night is very unprofessional.

I am 88 years old, I had ADT and a ring camera. A Vivint salesman came to my door and sold me a lie. Said it would only cost $65 per month and they could use my current equipment. After asking multiple times if this would cost me anything for equipment he kept saying, "No. Nothing. We use yours." Turns out they took all my equipment, installed new and now I'm stuck purchasing new equipment for $3000 and a monthly bill for $85. If I cancel I have no security equipment because they pretty much stole mine. I would NEVER recommend. I really feel I was misled.

Now with that being said the sales representative was very friendly, very nice. Very patient with me. Didn’t quite understand the time that it takes a technician to get the stuff set up. He thought that it would only take a little while maybe an hour while the technician that came to my house was only maybe two days in new to installing. He arrived about 4:30 PM. At 9 PM he was still at my house.! And had to schedule to come back this afternoon to finish. Nothing was working when he left.

I am more than satisfied with the products that I ordered: panel, sensors, security indoor and outdoor cameras, etc. The apparatuses have a lot of features and functionalities that are not available with the other brands. I also like how everything is connected and can be managed in one app. The system is more complex yet easier to navigate. As to the installation, two technicians came prepared and finished the job in less than a day. They took out my existing equipment and replaced them. They did not just rely on my old set up but created to wire pathways. Everything was done neatly and flawlessly. I was given significant promotional discounts and other perks like free add-on equipment. The price that I got is less than what I pay for my previous provider.

Absolutely terrible company to work with. They are scammers and snuck things into the contract making us personally liable for a business account. When requested to install the equipment in our office, they refused saying we were not in a serviceable area. This is AFTER we confirmed multiple times about installation. They sent 4 technicians all who refused to install the security system. After this they told us we signed a contract till 2028 and are demanding we pay over $5000 just to cancel the contract with them.
They outsourced their financing without notice to Citizen bank and opened a line of credit and now it is tanking my personal credit score due to Vivint's unprofessionalism, underhanded business practices, and overall borderline illegal operations. When trying to call them they put you on hold for 3-4 hours and then cut the line. When they call you back the line goes silent. They leave no information or notes for the next service rep or supervisor and you start the process all over again. I have been on the phone with them for a total of 20+ hours!!! I would refrain from getting involved with them in any way possible. I will be opening a legal case with them to get my money back on top of damages if I do not get a response.

I recently had my old security system replaced by Vivint, after signing up with a street salesman. I'm not entirely satisfied with the installation or the service I received from the technician and his manager. The technician, Trae, seemed rushed, and I had to remind him to test several components before he left. My concerns began when he walked on my carpet with dirty shoes. I even had to contact his manager, Danny, to resolve several issues the technician would have otherwise left unaddressed.
Furthermore, I didn't receive the glass sensor I requested, and the doorbell isn't positioned correctly; a new hole is now visible in my brick, despite my request to use existing holes. Although the sales representative followed up to discuss my concerns, it's been almost a week, and the technician hasn't returned to resolve the outstanding issues. I'm not satisfied with the overall experience.

Though the sales and technician were polite and helpful. I am having serious doubts about keeping this service, as I had to buy batteries from the 10 year sensors during install. The only updates my home received was a door bell camera, an out door camera, a motion sensor, and a doorbell extender. I was quoted that this was worth $3500, which will be pull monthly. This cost is way to high for the low grade and minimal tech installed. I will be contacting the vivant cooperation to discuss. This further. Again, great salesman and technician but quality of equipment versus prices really doesn't add up.

This is the most unprofessional, security company I have ever came in contact with, although it seemed like they had some really good products, the install was horrible, tech destroyed my home, had to repaint, patch holes in my wall. I canceled within my three days. They take you though loopholes not not cancel. Customer service is horrible, getting them to come back to get their products worst experience, appt set, tech was a no show then they want to say it’ll be a month to come out like really? It took 1 day for you to install, I’m going through loopholes to get them to pay for what the tech damage, I’m just so disappointed in giving them a chance, believe me I’m not just writing this review out of frustration. I’m writing it to warn anyone else before opening up a contract for them.
They submitted my first install from my banking account even after I canceled them and even with that it was not suppose to be taking within 4 days of starting. Like to me it’s some fraudulent things going on with this company. I now am doing what needs to be done to get that back. You call and it’s always some excuse. I read review and see there are a lot of civil lawsuits and for sure I see why if only I’d used my better judgment upon seeing them before I allowed this to happen to me as well. These bad reviews that you read please believe them 'cause this company should not be in business alongside with really legit good companies out here.
I will for sure stick with the company I was with. They will be coming back to set me back up. I chose to leave them because of Vivint system but even with that and having it set up wasn’t better than my original company, Vivint said they be able to run my system just like I had but better, no, half the things they could not run. For example my garage doors had sensor Vivint could not supply. Among other things, it was really an overall horrible experience. So if you're considering them I’d advise you to do your homework. Look up the reviews on BBB AND OTHERS. Look into all the civil cases they have currently and past.

Kenneth was very patient, because he took the time to explain the installation process, answered all my questions and addressed any concerns to make sure that I knew how to operate the device so that I can have the best experience with using the service. Vivint also offers add-ons to meet your needs for your family which can change the price. However, the monthly payments are reasonable and now I can feel more secure, knowing that my family will be much safer at the tip of my finger. I highly would recommend to families and friends, and I am definitely pleased with the Service and happy that I made the decision to move forward with Vivint.

Vivint (Lorenzo **) scammed me, he told me I was going to get internet with the security system but the internet equipment had to be delivered to the physical address after I told him we had a third party that delivered packages and I said, "Okay let's try it." The technician that come to install the security system (which Lorenzo ** wasted no time getting the technician here, it was within a couple of days) said to me he couldn't believe they had him out here installing the security system without any internet. I said, "Well I'm getting it. I'm just waiting on the equipment." Everyday I was checking the mail thinking I'm going to get this equipment and the days went by I finally called Vivint to find out when was it going to be delivered and that's when customer service told that they don't provide internet so while I was checking the mail for those days the cancellation of 3 days had expired.
I've asked them to come pick up the security equipment. I'm not using it because I can't use it without internet. I've called customer service several times wanted to talk to Lorenzo **. They can't find him now. They're calling me every day telling me about my account. I'm overdue. I tell them to come pick up the equipment. I'm not paying them another dime which I already paid over $200 to them for something I can't use.
Customer service finally put on a supervisor. Her name was Sarah. Would not give me her last name due to security reasons (I'm going to start using that when they call me next time and ask "is my last name correct" I might just make up and throw out a badge number at them too, like Sarah did). Sarah said the security system still works just not the cameras. Now isn't that a crock of **. Who wants a security system without cameras. So I started reading reviews and a lot of them say it's a scam. Thanks Mr ** for scamming this great grandma. Great job... I don't know how you sleep at night.

My experience with the initial staff member (Cal) who knocked on my door was good. He seemed knowledgeable, was friendly, and took the time to answer questions. About an hour later, the technician came to install the cameras. The only issue I had with him was that he went into my bedroom, which had the door closed and cats inside, and was not a part of the original work order. AFTER he went inside my bedroom (letting the cats out), he found me and asked if it was okay because he discovered he needed to go through my closet for the electrical. Obviously he should have come to me first so I could adjust the situation in the bedroom. Otherwise, everyone was nice and professional

As a Vivint customer, my frustration stems from a security system that consistently fails when I'm away, often 1000 miles from home. The recurring issue of my system going "out of service" specifically when I'm out of town completely undermines its purpose. Vivint's customer service offers no solution without someone physically present at the house. This is absurd for a remote security system. When my system bricks while I'm away, and support tells me I need to be there to fix it, it negates every benefit. This Catch-22 leaves me feeling helpless and my home vulnerable.
I invested in Vivint for remote management and peace of mind. Instead, I get a false sense of security and a system that fails when I'm most dependent on it. The lack of proactive communication about outages further erodes my trust. I cannot recommend Vivint, especially for those who travel frequently, as it simply doesn't deliver reliable remote security.

Vivint is a Complete Scam. Vivint is hands down the worst company I have ever dealt with. I have "canceled" my service THREE times now — and they refuse to stop charging me. I moved out of my home 9 months ago, told them I no longer needed service, and they’ve continued to charge me $72 a month ever since. That’s $648 they've stolen from me. Stolen.
Every time I call, I get the same useless promises: “We’ll take care of it.” “It’s been processed.” Complete BS. The phone number that is on my statement is disconnected... nice one Vivint. They’re either completely incompetent or intentionally predatory. Either way, they have no problem siphoning money out of your account for a service you no longer use, want, or even have access to.
This isn’t just bad customer service — it’s theft, plain and simple. If any regular person did what Vivint is doing, it would be called fraud. They trap customers, make cancellation nearly impossible, and hide behind “policy” while they drain your bank account. I just got off the phone AGAIN and with the cancelation specialist and he told me the I could ONLY answer "Yes or No". He told me that anything else he must start over. Wow!!!! It's all good - I flipped the script and I have the recording that I made as proof of their aggressive incompetence. I wanted to save as many folks as possible so I posted here first.... Now it's time to speak to the BBB and the State Attorney's Office.
