Equipment seems to be working well. The panel and the cameras and the door locks are in good working order. It is a bit expensive but it is peace of mind having them run the system. Customer support is great most of the time. On a few occasions I’ve had some difficulty making appointments.

I love being able to actively monitor and even secure my home while I am in it or away from it. I personally have chosen silent alerts for the cameras on my home. But I love being able to increase the level of security alerts after a package has been delivered.

Not good, sales guy name Johnathan said my old adt stuff would work and threw in a few things no charge. When the tech came out nothing was compatible, ended spending more money to get more sensors because this guy didn't have a clue of what he was saying. Afterwards he took some items odd he told us was free, and told the tech that he communicated with the homeowners of what he did when he actually didn't.

I have never had a home security system and was hesitant. Live it has exceeded my expectations. Excellent customer service from the time it was installed to questions I've had as situations occur.

My daughter has your service in another state. She is pleased with your service so I chose your company. With all the unrest in the world I decided it was time I felt safe in my home like before the pandemic.

Timothy Brown

Great ideas in concept, poor execution. I've been unable to resolve an issue with a sensor on my main door that does not work which causes false alarm triggers. As a result, I haven't been able to reliably use or trust the alarm system since it was installed. The cameras, thermostat, and automation tech are great. At the end of the day, the sales guy made lots of promises that never came to be, and never followed through. The installer was in a rush and wanted to go home and did not ensure that my system was working properly. I would not reccomend them to anyone, and am going to wait out my contract and then cancel the service and use simpli safe or google nest products instead.

Sales was great. Answered all my questions. Installation was not as good. Left a live hand-connected wire exposed in plain sight. One of the door alarms has fallen off. The notifications on my phone are delayed too much to catch someone in the act of anything. But the video is good at determining what went on.

Their security system had options I liked and their price was workable. The Vivint app lets you manage the system when you're away from home. They are proactive in their customer service. If something is a hardware vs. a user issue, they make you go through the whole procedure before they send a technician out. The hardware is user friendly, and they made sure everything was set up correctly the first time.

I first learned of Vivint when a salesman came to my door. I was referred by other customers and I'm not happy with the way it was handled. I felt pushed into their product without knowing the full price. The salesman was very pushy and basically just had me sign here and there and the next thing I knew, I had a security system.

I feel their price is a little high, but the camera quality is really good. The installer and salesman were very amazing to work with. The only issue I have is the connection to the application. whenever you want to look at the camera on your phone, it takes a while to connect.

When I'm not at home, I love that I can watch the dogs play out in the backyard. I was supposed to have someone come do a tutorial with me about the system, but no one has come yet. The equipment works well and is good quality.

The Vivint sales representative that came by was excellent. On the other hand, the customer service isn't great. When I had some problems with my system, the alarm went off several days before it was fixed. I was put on hold when I called in. It's very convenient to have the system on my app where I can arm and disarm it.

So far it's ok, not really impressed with vivint, I thought I will be saving money if I transfer from adt to your company, your representative guy and lady that comes to our house to talked about your services and fees I think didn't tell us all the fees that we will be paying thats why I thought will be saving but not...

I have not had a problem with Vivint. I did have a problem with their sales person though. Their sales people will tell you whatever you want to hear and once you sign, they are gone, which is what happened to us. However, in the end, Vivint honored everything the sales person told us.

I've been very happy with my move over to Vivint. I would recommend to anyone looking for a security system. The only thing my old system did better was my cameras recorded all the time and Vivint's only record when it detects a person.

They need to simplify it to make it a bit easier for installation. I put up one of the devices and it fell off. The glue wasn’t strong enough. I had ring doorbell and it was really easy to use. Customer service has been good. I have to call sometimes to see what my password is.

Knowing I am safe is the best thing. We had a bigger home on the other side of town and a lot of people were coming in and out but here is smaller and we’re older so we decided go ahead and put in. The person who sold it to us was a very good talker.

Better value than ADT, which I had before. The system is good and very integrated and works the way it is advertised. I did have to jump through a lot of hoops with my buyback, which was cool to have but annoying that I was passed around on the phone.

When I first got Vivint, I wanted to get rid of it because I had a few problems but they wouldn’t let me because I signed a contract. I had twenty four hours to opt out and now I have been stuck with it for six years. That is the worst thing, the contact. The equipment is pretty good. I like being able to do things from my doorbell and being able to monitor from it too.

The equipment is easy to use but it think when the silent alarms go off, they need to be more responsive in the time calling somebody. Forty five minutes later is not responsive. If I was really in trouble I would probably be dead.

Love the system. Never received my window stickers. We did have a time where it didn't pick up someone walking in our house but did when the person was leaving. A bit concerning since this person was a strange and had walked into the wrong house.

Love the service and the continuous recording. The only thing I am unhappy with is the indoor camera, in night vision mode the IR light that comes on causes a weird glare in the image so it dose not give you a very good video. Design flaw.

The cameras and other devices are clear. The information loads ok. Going live is a little delayed sometimes. The actual customer service monitoring has not been a happy experience. Alarm sounded and the contact made with a minor was not a good one. My ten year old was dismissed without someone verifying information with an adult. I also haven't gotten my referral discount after my neighbor purchased the equipment as well.

Not really that good. The agent that I talked to did not really disclose everything that I need to know. He did not tell me that Citizen One will finance the equipment and that he needs to open my credit. That was a time where I was in the process of refinancing my house and I was closely monitoring my credit score. So with that, I would rate poorly for trustworthiness.
