I was not happy at the end of my install to find out that I was promised to get an additional and was quoted a price, come to find out at the end it was not true I had to pay an additional $200 for a feature that I thought was included, salesperson did not show me what he was setting up only verbally, I wish I did not purchase because of lack of knowledge and spending more money intended.

I purchased my equipment outright so I don’t have contractual issues like many do. However, I have constant equipment issues. As others have stated, the batteries in the devices have to be changed often, more than anything security devices I’ve ever had. The thermostat has never worked for over a year. Every time I call for a technician, they refused to send one without a $50 fee. I already pay $60 a month for service. My panel stopped working and was totally black. I was paying for two months and had no service. When I first called for a technician, they were closed and refused to replace any of my batteries even though I had been paying for a system that did not work. So a month later, I finally remembered to call after I returned home from working 10 hours.
As we speak, I have been on the phone with them for one hour and 14 minutes. They had to reprogram my system and reboot it. Then after doing that, I had to speak to speak to someone to disconnect my camera and reconnect it. So now I have a system that works and 7 low batteries. With Vivint you have to do all of the legwork while someone sits in his or her cozy chair. You have to stand at the panel for an hour after getting home from your own job, just to do someone else’s. And most disgustingly, they will not even provide you with $10-15 dollars worth of batteries. Nor will they send a tech out to replace the many batteries in the devices. So, you’ll also have to hire a handyman with a tall ladder to reach all of the devices. Oh wait. Did I mention that the thermostat still doesn’t work?
The customer service reps are rude. Yes, the device and software technicians are pleasant, but I would be too if I got to work from home while the customers did the “dirty work.” Overall, if you like replacing batteries often, enjoy climbing up and down ladders, relish spending hours troubleshooting on the phone, derive pleasure from paying for thermostats that don’t connect to your HVAC, rejoice in paying $60 a month even if your system is inoperable, and adore dropping $3000 for equipment, then Vivint is the system for you!

I have been trying for nearly a year to cancel my service. I called in Dec 2021 and was told I need to make a contract buyout payment. Done. Then in Sep/Oct, I get a bill. Oops! The agent professed that as a prepayment, not a buyout. By the way, we need an email notice of cancellation (first call never mentioned this) - send the email and I will note the account to backdate since we didn't tell you. Done. November: there is a problem with your account and it is not cancelled. Since you didn't send the cancellation in December of last year, you still owe us money - despite everything that has happened and our failure to process things correctly.
Just avoid them like the plague! At this point, I fully expect to end up in Court with them. I reminded them that they processed a payment to my card under false pretenses (it was supposed to be a buyout, not a prepayment). Sounds like credit card fraud to me; and possibly wire and mail fraud since it was done by phone. If others have had this experience, maybe legal action is needed.

The first time I installed with your company The camera system would come and go and have issues The billing system mess up my billing. I had to have all that fixed over numerous times. Over the course of The time that I've had service there has been a lot of lagging, animal detection and wind detection telling me that there is a person present when there is not even though I was told it's not supposed to detect anything other than a person. I continued with this service as I already had an agreement just recently. Had a sales rep out. Told me about the new updated cameras and spotlights which is very convenient for a longer playback period on an SD card as well as the spotlight. After installation the camera system in the driveway where the spotlight is does not detect the detection zone that it is supposed to. The camera has been offline. The cameras in the backyard are still detecting the animals as people being present.
I received an email stating that I was going to be charged a one-time fee for the new purchase which was not the case. It was supposed to be finance and I even have the documents to show. I contacted the sales rep and let him know that I was unsatisfied about this and that it needed to be resolved. Two days later I received the same email yet again that I am going to be filled a one-time charge for the service products that have been just installed. Again very dissatisfied. Camera in the front yard driveway is still not detecting people in the detection zone. A technician has not been out or scheduled to come back out in any means or contact with me.

Vivint is by far the worst experience I've had with a security system. The cameras have great picture quality when they work, but that's the issue. They are constantly at low signal or no signal. The warnings are often minutes behind the actual event. The interface and app are terribly not user friendly. The customer service kept pushing a tech out post installation when we had issues and wanted to return the system. Then when customer service finally listened to my return request they said they couldn't do anything because it was past the 3 DAY RETURN POLICY. YOU ONLY HAVE 3 DAYS TO EVALUATE AND DECIDE ON THE SYSTEM. That is insane and unclear when purchasing the system.
They assured me that I would have plenty of time to think about it but that is not the case. Overall the system is the worst security system I have ever owned and would not recommend it to anyone. I am now stuck with a system that doesn't work well and is far under par compared to almost every other system that is a fraction of the price.

I own two houses. I have had VIVINT (previously another company that I can’t remember) in Arlington TX since 2008. I purchased a new home in Waxahachie TX and BRINKS (formerly another company that I can’t remember) was already at the house, I just had to activate. We became dissatisfied with BRINKS and I chose to also put VIVINT at the Waxahachie address.
Yesterday Ali, an outstanding technician, arrived to install. I had been told I was “pre-approved” so I was surprised when Ali told me I needed to “apply for credit”. I didn’t understand since I already have an account for the home in Arlington but reluctantly agreed to “apply”. Ali went back to work and in a few moments I got a message that my Equifax account was locked and VIVINT could not get approval. I had locked my account almost two years ago due to a bank irregularity when my previous bank was acquired by PNC, and was told the freeze was for 12month unless I requested the freeze again. I did not request an additional freeze, have not applied for any credit and thought the freeze no longer existed.
Once I was made aware Equifax needed access, I tried to reach Equifax online but they could not verify who I am!!! WHAT???? I had to them call Equifax which proved to be a V E R Y arduous task!!! My call was “bumped up” to three different supervisors and then I was finally told there was no freeze and no entity had tried to verify my credit. WHAT???? All this time Ali was patiently waiting and heard much of what was going on because I had the Equifax call on speaker phone.
Finally, the third supervisor sent another link after being convinced I really could not access either of the prior links. The Equifax supervisor assured me they had had no problem with the final form link but by that time my patience and nerves were stretched beyond my ability to cope any longer. Ali to the rescue!!! He understood what I was being asked to do and showed me on my MacBook how to accomplish what I needed to do to complete the Equifax form!! Had Ali not been present I know I would not ever have been able till comply with the Equifax request. After two hours on the phone, Citizen was able to verify my creditworthiness and Ali quickly finished the install. Ali was the epitome of professionalism and maintained “cool” at all times, even when I was on the verge of losing my mind!! THANK YOU TO ALI FOR MAKING THE INSTALL A SUCCESS!!!

Every time I call I am told that I am next in queue for a supervisor and either hung up on or no one comes back to the phone. (RED FLAG) Is this the way to treat a Veteran?
I signed up for Vivint security in May 2015. They were ahead of the curve with great security cameras and automation. I signed up for a 5 year contract. Unfortunately I had to leave Clarksville, TN for a job opportunity in San Antonio, TX. I then planned to relocate to New Braunfels, TX. I called Vivint and a tech came out to uninstall my equipment. I was told at that time that if I didn’t have the equipment installed at my new location I would still be responsible for the payment of the equipment even though I wouldn’t have monitoring. The tech told me that he would have that added to my account notes and I understood. (RED FLAG)
I arrived in Texas July 2018, and was told by property management that I wasn’t able to have Vivint install the alarm at my new leased home because they had a lot of problems with the company. (RED FLAG) I remember the conversation I had with the tech and that I had to let the time of my contract run out even if I don’t have monitoring. No problem, just run out the contract. (RED FLAG) Now this the meat and potatoes!
This is Nov 2022, I have relocated to Georgia over 4 years later, and I am still being charged $64.97 a month. I called and asked why am I still paying this? I was told by several SUPERVISORS in different departments that I should have notified the company when I was told I couldn’t install the equipment. The tech in Tennessee never put anything in the notes. No option of a refund or anything. I was even told that I would be contacted by a SUPERVISOR on a Saturday. I found out today before I was put on hold AGAIN that no one works in Customer service on weekends. WHY LIE!? There’s no remorse, no understanding. NOTHING! Not even an option to turn in the equipment, or even address the situation properly.
I have been told multiple times that this is a very unique situation, and shuffled to the next person that does nothing to help at all. Not even an option to refund money that was paid after my 5 year contract. I was also told that my account would be closed. That tells me that Vivint is basically gonna take my money and get rid of proof that I even existed. (RED FLAG) Here’s the math: July 2018 - Nov 2022. $64.97 a month = $3,378.44. What’s basic alarm costs that?? I might as well been an investor in Vivint because there’s no way a company that’s established would treat people this way. This is the reason why a lot of people go to RING and other similar companies because of this type of business model. I have written this review and guess what?
