    I canceled my subscription. I was robbed twice and around the time the robberies happened a technician employed by Vivint worked at my home. Vivint has no video stored past 30 days for me to review. A video could help police identify the person(s) involved in the theft. Over 500 silver bullions and 22 gold coins were stolen from my home. I sent them, Vivint a copy of the police report. The company has done nothing to help. I give one star because there isn’t a negative way to score them.

    HARDER TO GET RID OF THAN A SPURNED EX-SPOUSE! I was a Vivint customer for decades but their service has become worse than nothing since the company has changed hands. Trying to cancel the service has revealed their core dishonesty. After spending 40 plus minutes in phone trees and speaking to multiple people who claim to be working on the cancellation, when it becomes clear that I really do want to cancel they hang up on me. This has happened twice so I know it’s not a one off. I literally had to cancel the credit card I used for my service because they wouldn’t stop charging to it. I can’t understand why anyone would consider using a dishonest company for their home security. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Vivint.

    Worst company I have ever worked with! First off the sales representative Stephen (phone listed) (**) lied multiple times about the trial period for the Vivint subscription. He told us it was until the 1st billing cycle, we went to cancel and the trial was only 3 days. Secondly when the installation came, the tech left the house dirty, didn’t finish the installation, and we had to contact someone to get him to come back and finish the installation. Thirdly the customer service didn’t want to issue a cancellation and claimed we had to pay for all the products on our home which was another lie. We ended up sending all our information over to Vivint legal team to try and get the cancellation processed, we have not heard back from them but we have locked all our accounts and information so they can’t take the money. Beware of this terrible business. They are liars and scammers!

    The cameras work very well, but the install was my main issue. The technician opened products from their packaging and discarded it on my floor multiple times. He did not care to clean up after himself. In the end there were several piles of discarded boxes in areas around the house. It would have been nice if he had taken 30 seconds to sweep up the dust from the drilling. The technician also left an entire box of Cat 5e cable on my porch. When I tried to call and have someone pick it up I was told to throw it away. Finally, the panel was slightly crooked. It is not difficult to pull out a leveling tool and do the job correctly. Great product, but perhaps more care to my household would be appreciated in the future.

Before they installed your system I informed them that it would not work well in my house, instead of them disconnecting the cameras on the first day he decided to ignore me and install the product. They damaged my front door trying to install the doorbell. This product interferes with my other tvs and phones in the house. Because the wifi is not strong enough.

Now with that said, Gabe the salesperson really needed to work on his sales presentation. His manager wasn't much better.

Also one of their employees told me he would write me a personal check from his account and I could pay him back when the company paid me. I'm 64 years old and don't need this stress.

    We’re enjoying our Vivint cameras and security system already and feel secure. My only concern is our install took 7 hours to set up since there was only one technician that came to install everything. We were very disappointed by this since we had work to do and plans but had to stay at our house for 7 hours for everything to be complete. I feel this was unacceptable and unfair to the technician and us (home owners) and I believe moving forward, there should be a team of technicians, at least 2-3 to install at someone’s house moving forward.

    I would give them a ZERO stars if I could. This is the second time I have had Vivint. I will NEVER, EVER in my life sign up with this company again. YOU as a customer, have to troubleshoot your own equipment, even if you pay the extra monthly fee (which is extra) to have a protection plan where technicians are supposed to come out.

    I canceled my service over a month ago in June and they charged my credit card AGAIN, saying THEY should have sent me a written letter I needed to sign to cancel. They did NOT! It is taking e 3 representatives and over one how to cancel my service AGAIN. I just realized they are charging the protection plan separately and it wasn't canceled either, causing me additional charges!! After 1 1/2 hours, I was finally able to get through to a supervisor (Mary Ann) and she was amazing, but officially closing my account.

    I recently purchased a home with an active Vivint system, and my experience with their customer service has been extremely frustrating. When I called to cancel the previous owners’ service, I was told that Vivint “couldn’t cancel it” and that the only option was to transfer the account into my name — along with a new 2‑year contract I never asked for.

    They required proof of purchase to stop the previous owners’ monitoring, yet somehow that same proof was enough for them to shut off their service but not enough to avoid forcing me into a new agreement. I was told I had 14 days to rescind, but the actual contract stated only 3 business days. The inconsistency and pressure to assume someone else’s contract felt deceptive. Based on my experience, Vivint’s policies are confusing, misleading, and designed to lock customers in. I would not recommend them.

    I am extremely disappointed with the customer service I received from Vivint. My experience of trying to cancel my service was frustrating, time-consuming, and completely unacceptable. Today I contacted Vivint 22 times in less than two hours to request that my service be canceled. The first representative I spoke with transferred me to the Moving Department after I clearly stated that I wanted to cancel my service. I explained that I no longer live at the address where the security system is installed, that someone else will be living there, and that I no longer need the service.

    Instead of processing my cancellation, the Moving Department transferred me to another department. I explained my situation again, stating that I was moving to a location where I do not need a security system. Rather than honoring my request, the representative repeatedly questioned my decision, attempted to lower my monthly payment, and continued trying to persuade me to keep the service even when I said I was moving to Jamaica.

    I spent over an hour explaining that I simply wanted to cancel my account. Despite my repeated requests, the representative refused to process my cancellation and repeatedly placed me on hold. Several of my calls were disconnected after being placed on hold, forcing me to call back and start the process all over again.

    My account balance is $0.00, and I have paid off all my equipment. I do not owe Vivint any money. Despite this, no one would simply process my request to cancel my service.

    Based on my experience, I would never recommend Vivint to anyone. The difficulty I encountered trying to cancel my service, the excessive transfers, the hours spent on the phone, the repeated requests to explain my situation, and the lack of respect shown by some representatives have left me extremely dissatisfied.

    I would strongly advise others to carefully consider their options before choosing Vivint. No customer should endure this level of frustration simply to cancel a service they no longer need. I hope Vivint will take this complaint seriously, improve its cancellation process, and ensure that future customers are treated with professionalism, respect, and courtesy.

    I received a 12-month Vivint security promotion as an incentive when installing my Sunrun solar system. While I didn't particularly need a new security system, I decided to try it. Overall, the equipment and app features were very basic and nothing special. To make matters worse, attempting to cancel the service at the end of the promotion was an incredibly frustrating and difficult process. If you’re considering this solar incentive, be aware that getting out of the contract or service agreement later may not be worth the trouble.

You can open your front door with your alarm armed, and it will not even go off to let you know that your door has been open. When you set up a appointment with a technician to come out technicians come out whenever they want so you can schedule an appointment for windows between 4 PM and 8 PM and they’ll come out when they’re free and when you try to talk to a supervisor about it the supervisors get extremely mad when you tell them about their technicians and the behavior that you’re experiencing.

    Vivint is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. Avoid at all costs. The equipment is unreliable and barely functions. Customer service is not just poor — it's borderline predatory. I knew I made a mistake within the first three days of installation, and everything after confirmed it. Vivint told it can be cancelled within 30 days if not satisfied with the product. After that, it was nothing but constant malfunctions and excuses. The app is fundamentally broken — It glitches nonstop, drops connection, and fails to work as advertised.

    When I reported this, their "support" team deflected blame onto my Wi-Fi and told me to buy extenders — extenders I already had. I explained repeatedly that this was a software/app issue on their end, not my network. They refused to acknowledge it and kept pushing the same scripted non-solution. Then came the real nightmare: canceling. Two weeks ago I called to cancel my service — a service I have every right to cancel. Instead of processing a simple request, their representative kept me on hold and strung along on the phone for four straight hours, using every stalling tactic possible to avoid letting me leave. This wasn't customer retention — it was a hostage situation disguised as a phone call.

    I made it clear, repeatedly, that no offer, discount, or excuse would change my decision. I said the word "cancel" for four hours straight and they still tried to keep me trapped in a contract I no longer wanted. This is not how a legitimate company treats paying customers. Vivint's business model appears to rely on making cancellation as painful and time-consuming as possible in hopes people give up. I did not give up, but no customer should have to fight this hard just to stop paying for a broken product. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration. Do not sign up with Vivint.
