Mildred

My sister had it and she really liked it. I like the fact that I can check who's there and operate it through my cell phone. Most of the time I can figure out what I need to do from the directions on their website.

I think it's a little expensive but the equipment is high quality. It all works properly, the cameras all work great very vivid detail. They always handle the problems that I may have in a prompt manner.

I enjoy the features. Whenever I call because something isn't going right they solve the problem. Everything is fine except sometimes the doorbell video camera messes up sometimes but when I called them they fixed it.

My realtor recommended Vivint to me. For the most part I haven't had any issues with the security equipment. I don't have to worry when I am at home or out of town. Customer service is top notch. My only suggestion is for them to have a look over the app.

The price is good. As far as I am concerned it's all been fine and I've been very fortunate not to have really needed anything. They are always there for me when I do need them though.

Wanda

We had home pro and were dissatisfied so we tried Vivint. They are for the most part professional and we've had not significant problems. The cameras and stuff are top notch. The only thing I don't like is the cameras had a different type of transformer. They need to inform customers that the doorbell cameras require more voltage.

Their customer service is always top notch. They've always helped me out doing anything that I need. The security equipment seems to be just fine. Sometimes the batteries run out but they are fairly standard and easy to change. I would have appreciated not being under contract but I understand that it the wat things have to be.

Reduce the price for the equipment. If it wasn't expensive it would be very good. I have no issue with the system in any way, shape, or form, it works beautifully, but I could have gotten the exact equipment for much cheaper.

Usually when I've had to call for support, they've been readily available. It's reliable. The only feedback is when the front door lock brock and they sent a new one, it was not anywhere near as good quality as the original. It doesn't light up.

They are always there to try to do any work. When I accidentally leave the door open, it goes off and tells me. I love that I have control to the monitors on my phone. I really think that they should have made a part of the package a system for around the entire house.

All of my issues come from the fact that I have a take over system where Vivint put their ssytme on top of my system and all kinds of little perks come up here and there. They really take time to work a problem and are very patient except for one poor exchange I had with someone there about three weeks ago.

Thanks to the live video feed provided by Vivint's camera system, I was able to see the intruder attempting to break through the door. With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I activated the two-way talk feature on the app and sternly warned the intruder that the authorities had been notified and were on their way. To my surprise, the would-be burglar hesitated for a moment before fleeing the scene.

Oh my goodness, I just have to rave about Vivint! These guys are seriously the best when it comes to home security and automation. Their system is like something out of a sci-fi movie, I kid you not. I can easily arm the alarm, check the cameras, and even adjust the temperature, all from my phone. It's like having superpowers, I tell ya! With Vivint, I feel so much safer and it's incredibly convenient. If you're looking to step up your home security game, trust me, Vivint is the way to go. They've got it all covered, and they're worth every single penny.

Vivint delivers five star service with state of the art equipment, at affordable pricing. I speak from experience. I've been disappointed by other companies, that charge too much for equipment that they burden you the customer with installing. Not Vivint. Vivint has friendly and knowledgeable installation experts, that will quickly have your security system online and operational in no time at all, giving you a piece of mind knowing that all of your security needs are covered 24/7. Vivint offers excellent financing at little to no interest rates. Vivint's dedication and commitment doesn't end when the security tech leaves. In fact, that's only the beginning. Vivint values your opinion, and strives to improve in every way to ensure your security and safety needs are well taken care of.

Just had Roger (installer), and Brandon (salesman) leave and I am extremely pleased with Vincent. Brandon came by Saturday to sign us up and Roger was there 30 minutes later to install. Top notch customer service and A + state of the art equipment. We are extremely pleased with our experience. And after 30 years of military, law enforcement and private protective security experience you will not find a better sense of satisfaction from anyone else. We had ADT at all 3 of our residence's. Had!!! Thank you Vivent for total and complete customer experience and satisfaction. If you reading this review, you could have already had it installed. Enough said!

I honestly don't get how there are so many bad reviews... I LOVE my Vivint system. Everything works together from one app, I can even keep track of my car and be notified if someone ever bumps into it in a parking lot or if someone tries breaking in. The sales rep that set us up with the system was very transparent about the deal. I knew I'd be purchasing the equipment and of course there's a contract.. DUH! You're FINANCING the equipment. The contract is a financial agreement with Citizens One, but there is no contract for the service with Vivint. THIS SITE IS WRONG... It's month-to-month... These other hardwired and wifi based systems are outdated and prone to vulnerability. Vivint's new Smart Hub has a 256-bit encryption which prevents my 2-way voice 4K cameras and system at large from being hacked. Also, the cellular back up signal comes directly from the panel so there's no need for a box in your closet. I wouldn't expect to get a brand new iPhone or Galaxy Phone at the price of an older version or even a flip phone. I knew it would be a little more expensive then going with a company like ADT or SimplySafe, but you get what you pay for!

I have been a customer of Vivint for 3 years and love their system. The response time is excellent which is most important to me when it is really needed. The customer service has been great. As for a few complaints about cancelling, I understand clearly that it is a 42 mth contract and its no different than a cell phone or merchant service contract. You cancel early, you pay the difference. Keep in mind that you can minimize your plan to reduce the monthly cost if you are paying for a higher plan. I helped a friend do that when his financial situation changed. I will definitely renew in 6 mths when my contract is up.

I have had Vivint for 2 years now and could not be happier. The salesman and the installer were kind and very helpful. Just yesterday 3 men came to my door stating they were from Vivint and were doing an upgrade. The asked a few questions and I became uneasy about who they claimed to be. I asked them to leave and one of them asked me for my password. I told him if he worked for Vivint he would know that and asked him again to leave this is when I noticed his ID at the bottom of his jacket and the name of the company was North Star. Checking this out North Star is part of ADT or so the computer information claims this. I have them on my camera and I will be glad to do whatever it takes to put them behind bars if they show up again. They not only pounded on my door but also looked into my picture window and started pounding on it. I should have called the police. What a bunch of jerks!

My Parents had Vivint. They only had it for almost 2 years before they died. Vivint could not have been any easier to deal with. They cancelled services right away. I was never on hold for very long and they were very pleasant to deal with, which during my parent's deaths I really needed companies to be easy like they were. I was also impressed with the company as a whole. My dad was a notorious "button" pusher by accident, but they called each time and were so nice. They were also very fast with calling my parents. My mother was notorious for being slow to the alarm when coming home and would forget the code constantly, again Vivint was more than accommodating and always the best with customer service. Now I am considering home monitoring myself. I have a lot of research to do but even with a 5 year contract I think it would be worth it if they still have the same out standing customer service.

Vivint is the best smart home and home security company out there. The reason why there so many bad reviews about Vivint is because they have been unethical or bad salesman who have made people feel like they were tricked into contracts or over promised. Vivint is one of the only systems that will control everything smart home and home security from one app. The quality of service is exceptional, I knew that I would be under contract to pay for my system, contracts keep both parties honest. That's why contracts were invented. If you are looking for the most reliable security company who will give you the most bang for your buck Vivint is the way to go. If you don't want a contract buy vivint through a Best Buy store they have 0 contracts.

Cathlina A.

We moved into our house 3 years ago. Vivint reps were walking around the neighborhood selling home security systems. Having children and a husband that works most nights, we signed up. Installation happened that day. They were all very nice and not pushy at all. We only got the basic system and they were okay with that. Definitely not pushy at all! About 9 months in,our panel became faulty and wouldn't turn on. Things happen so I just called the service line and had someone out the next week. It was fixed at no charge. We have had some scares and Vivint contacted us within 30 seconds to make sure we are okay. Recently, hubby andI were on vvacation. We set the alarm to AWAY. The motion detector went off twice and Vivint contacted police to go walk around the house since we were out of town. Excellent customer service. I love Vivint so much that I told everyone about it. My parents even signed up. They have the camera and it works pretty well! I will continue to use Vivint no matter where I live.

I've had other security companies in the past including ADT and Frontpoint. Once I installed Vivint in my home I could see a huge difference. The system is easier to use, the sales person and technician were very professional, and the technology is the best I've seen! I am really happy with Vivint. I called into customer service to move a camera and they scheduled a tech right away and didn't charge me. The customer service is the best I have had compared to the other companies I've had in the past. The other bad reviews you see on here are not accurate and people don't realize that buying over the phone without an experienced sales rep could change once the technician sees your home. I highly recommend Vivint to everyone. Way better than any other company I've dealt with! My friends and family also switched to Vivint and love it! There's a reason why they made the 2017 top 50 most innovative companies list in the world. They beat all the other security/Smart Home companies. That's proof in the pudding!

All security system providers have bad reviews, so to me, these reviews are irrelevant.... otherwise you cannot decide. Besides, I did not want a DIY system. So, I decided to go with Vivint. First of all, they do not have a "lengthy" contract unless you decide to have a payment plan for the equipment, in which case your contract will be the length of your plan. If you pay the equipment in full, then you are on a month to month. The monthly payment depends of your plan. I selected the highest and pay $49.99 a month for life. The two techs, Mark and Scott, who were sent to install my system were outstanding. Clean cut, polite, helpful, fast and very knowledgeable. The equipment is professional. I have not experienced their customer support yet so I can't comment on that. So far, my system looks great and works great. I can control, arm and disarm from my cell phone, my ipad or my computer. They were able to reduce my cost by using and activating several sensors from a previous system that had been installed by a previous owner. They really met my expectations. I would recommend Vivint anytime.

I might be a little different review than most on this, but I have a unique experience that I would like to share. My husband died and the account along with the loan for the equipment was in his name alone. Because of this, I needed to track down payments and I wanted to keep the system. Anyway, I made a phone call to pay the monthly payment in October. When I told them of my situation, I got a few calls and email correspondences stating that they were sorry about his passing and they would like to arrange some things in order to keep the system. I just got off the phone with a representative who not only said that the system loan was forgiven and I would not longer need to pay that fee, they also gave me a $10 per month discount to keep the system working. I will let everyone know how great Vivint is for customer service and keeping this customer happy. I have never had an issue with the equipment not working. When I have had false alarms, the main control panel has a live person who is friendly and helpful. Great service and great system.
