On the few occasions I've had to request customer service, they've been helpful, informative, and eager to answer my questions and sort things out. I find that the outdoor cameras are very sensitive, but everything else works brilliantly. Their service technicians are very thorough and whenever I've had one out here, they routinely check every sensor and monitor everything regardless of whether the issue is fixed or not.

Their interface is really nice on the control panel. I like the convenience of having both the control panel and the app on my phone. I've called customer service several times and the people have always been friendly and helpful. Everything works great! I've had other security systems where there are false alarms and that never happens with Vivint.

It's easy to use. The equipment is good and the cameras are good quality. I like being able to arm and disarm my home from anywhere and being able to keep an eye on who comes in and out of my house. Their customer service is always right on time anytime the alarm goes off, they call me within 2 minutes. It has only happened once when my girlfriend forgot the code.

As long as it keeps going the way they are going now, I would refer them to anybody. In the past I did not like Vivint but they have changed dramatically. They seem to be more caring than they used to be and that helped. Everything works really well and it is easy to use the app and everything. Knowing we’re protected is great. I have a ninety four year old mother and I am care giver for her so when I leave and the alarm in on, I feel very comfortable.

It has been an excellent experience from the sales staff to the installation. This system was ideal as shortly after getting it installed, I had an intruder come to my home. My doorbell was able to record who was snooping around my house and I was able to share this with the police in the event that they came back around again. It has made me feel very safe.

Vivint is a customer-friendly. system. I like being able to control my system from my mobile phone when away from home and being able to see who is at the front door. And, Vivint was still operational and working fine during a power failure at my house. I also like the feature that announcing when any of my doors are opened. I love and trust the Vivint system.

We switched from ADT to VIVINT a few months back. We only had the key pad with them. A VIVINT rep came out and showed us all the new things the offer and for just a little more money a month, we had an updated security system!! We LOVE IT!!! We can view from our phone when out to see what’s going on in our home or yard from various angles. It’s a great service and company and they were able to install the system the same day!!

It’s pretty good. I also have ring bell. However, my other alarm allowed me to hear entry Or openings while I was in my bedroom. This system has the main box downstairs, but the repeater box upstairs dies not talk. Is it possible fir the bedroom to have a control box like my original system. This was a surprise to me because I thought you were making sure I had the same capabilities. I was disappointed when I realized o list capability.

The picture from the camera is great. You are ale to see anything that goes on in your front yard. It also has a motion detector. The sound is loud enough for you to hear it even in a two story house, even with the doors closed. Every time I’ve called with an issue, which is rare, they were able to fix my problem as soon as possible. It is great.

Installed Vivint security system. We met them as a door knocker. We had been needing a new service since we got rid of ADT. We hired them that day and he had an installer there that day. It took all day till about 11pm to get everything done. We feel secure now to leave the house when we go camping. All the cameras can be easily accessed from our phones at any time. We love it.

Vivint is an outstanding company with outstanding security system. The control panel is so much bigger than most. The doorbell camera is awesome. So clear and easy to converse using your phone wherever you are. The online tutorials are excellent and if you need extra assistance their customer support team is amazing. Love everything about this company and refer to friends and family every chance I get.

excellent!! any trouble with equipment is taken care of in a more than timely manner. when an alarm is triggered their response time is immediate! a few weeks ago my "I've fallen and I can't get up alarm was triggered" In six minutes an ambulance was at my door!! It was a false alarm but if it had been real I would have been taken care of in enough time to probably save my life!!!Remember I said 6 minutes and I live in tje 7th largest city in the country!

One December my alarm went off at 4 o’clock in the morning and I got a call from Vivint right away, telling me my window was broken. She stayed on the line with me and called my local sheriffs. A random bullet had shot through my window. I would never had known it had happened because it is high on the ceiling and hidden by a roman shade if it were not for the alarm.

I've been able to kind of navigate through the system with no problems. I can turn my security on and off wherever I am. I could be in Louisiana and I can arm my house or disarm it and I can also see who's at my house and can talk to whoever is at my front door when there's deliver. They are working with me on the camera equipment and I like the idea of being able to have it on my phone. I gave a customer service rep a hard time but they hung in there with me and they resolved all the issues I had.

They have always been very polite any time I needed to speak to them. They have always tried to help us solve the problem or get things scheduled. The cameras are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough and have to be restarted periodically. It's easy. Everything available in the app and the monitor on the wall when you can see everything outside is super aceptable.

One of my co-workers had it and my house was broken into and you guys came with three trucks installed it in like two days it was amazing. Vivint is a good value and works well. It is easy to use - when something goes off they call right away so it gives you a sense of security. Every time I've called with a question, they answer right away and there is no hesitation.
I think all the equipment's been good I had one of those little centers in the north fall off and retake the back on that's the only thing that's ever been really bad its good.

I like everything. I like that I'm able to use it from my mobile phone and the features that they offer their customers. I like the prices more than anything. Their customer service is always friendly. Their reps when they come out always solve my problems. I've never had an issue where something couldn't be resolved. Their equipment is always updating. They're always finding ways to improve it and it's always affordable even though it's improving.

I had them install some cameras and because I had felons break into my home and we caught them but if I had that camera probably would have caught them well in advance. I like the camera because you can view it at any time and it also has a record. If I do have a situation or a problem, I talk to them and everything's taken care of. That's why I've had him for years.

The simplified instructions are easy to follow and if I need help immediately I can pick up the home phone and call the representatives and they will give step by step instruction to help solve my problem. Would recommend to any customers that are interested in a good quality security system. Vivint stands ready to provide your needed information to help solve your problem. The system is simple to operate and I'm a elderly person and I can easily follow the instruction they did it provided.

I've had a lot of my equipment for 10 years at this point and it's still working with no problems. Every time that I've had to contact them for anything they were able to resolve my issues right away, and I've never gotten less than what I felt like I was entitled to. If something went wrong or if one of my pieces of equipment broke, they've always been able to come through and make sure that everything is working. They've always been ahead of the game and ahead of the curve in terms of technology and types of equipment that they offer. I could not be happier.

We've had a problem and they took care of it right away. We had one problem and they were out here promptly and took care of it and then the lady that came out was very experienced and she explained things to us more thoroughly / more in layman's terms. We learned some new things about the system that we didn't know before. When we leave, we can lock the house. We just feel safer in the house with all the bells and whistles and we can just tell when people are coming and going and we just like it.

They are very responsive every time you have an issue, they are quick to respond and resolve it. The system is efficient and we feel secure. I like the camera feature and that we're able to who comes in, who goes out, deliveries. Also we're very impressed that it's connected to our temperature in the house thermostat, so we've been able to stay a lot in terms of electricity our power bill.

I had ADT for over a decade and now I'm totally disappointed with their service. I was looking for a new company and I found Viving had all the features that I was searching for so I wanted to give them a try. I manage two homes with Vivint security via the internet and I found the system to be quite robust and responsive to my needs. Customer service listens to concerns and addresses them in a timely fashion.
One suggestion would be to let their existing customers know of any new features or capabilities that are introduced or made available to the company.

If they call or if the alarm goes off or if there is something out of the ordinary, they give me a call let me know what's going on. Everyone is very professional. I like that there are no wires for the cameras, there's no wires for the motion detector, or the smoke detectors. The alarm uses a lot of batteries and they're a special battery you can't just get at Walmart, you have to go to batteries plus to get that kind. It's a good price.

As a senior citizen, I can see the buttons and it's easy to operate. I have shown my security system and cameras to several of my neighbors, I'm very pleased with my monthly payments and pleased to feel secure in my home with the equipment that I have. Vivint is very affordable especially for senior citizens. And every time I've called in for assistance because I've forgotten something, I immediately received help. customer service be very patient and my call in answering all of my questions.

I've had positive interactions with the customer service the few times that I've had to interact with them. The equipment covers all the bases as afar as what I need for my home. The pricingn is totally expensive. Originally I had a contract for about 42 months and I understood that the pricing would cover the leasing of the equipment but I expected that after the contract was done, my pricing would fall because the equipment has been paid off and I would mostly be paying for the service now. But the price has not dropped so I actually need to get in touch with them to see if I can reduce my monthly payment.

I love the new Smart Home System! We can rest easy at home and the system alerts us to people or pets walking by. With the DVR we can look back on the events. My husband hated the system at first, but now loves it. (He's not a tech person). If I have to call support, they are always ready to help. What I like best with our new system is if you are away when an alarm goes off, you can cancel any responses to it if you can see on your phone there was no threat. We've had Vivint since 2009.

If there's any concerns they are very quick to respond to them, to call me and check inwith tme. And if I have any issues they've very helpful and try to help me solve any issues that I have. The system works very well. The only issue I did have was that apparently their batteries and stuff are secure inside the door, not on the outside but with the help of a Vivint service person I got that figured out and he helped me.

The equipment is good but door sensors where they put it on my back door, one fell off. It just isn't good quality. I would hope that they get their sales people to be more truthful because he told me all these things that weren't quite true. When the installer came a lot of things I thought I was getting once available to me, I couldn't get. Window loks were going to be fifty dollars a piece and she didn't explain any of that. You said to get the system and all this and I could have window locks and I should have been conscious of it because he didn't ask me how many windows I had but I thought maybe if they secure you it's the same but I had to get glass brakers in order to feel safe.

They really try to help you when you're having a problem. If they can't help you, they would let you chose the right technician that can help.
The cameras are good. The only problem I have with it is that I wish they could record 24/7 - all day and all night - because you never know where somebody might try to break into your house. I like that I can look at my cameras and see what's going on in my neighborhood.

When they came to my door, the guy gave me a presentation. I liked the features - especially that the doorbell camera records really great.
Every time I've talked to them it's been a good experience. They are vvery courteous and very professional and they just they listen. I had a a small smoke fire in my home and the fire department was called. They were right on top of it, not just calling me but calling everyone that I have on my list.

Never had any problems with this. I like the setup and that you don't have to run to a box to shut off the alarm when you come into the house. Instead, it just would go off when you unlocked your door. I also like that I can monitor from my phone.
I'm very pleased with how quickly they responded when there was an alarm - whether it's throught hte box, or text. That's wonderful. I've always gotten a response when I needed one and they've always been very helpful.

We had a bumpy start with Vivint because our installer did not do a quality install. However, the company sent out their own in-house installer and reimbursed us for the stucco we had replace because the error. We have had Vivint for about 2 years and I have been very pleased with the product, customer service and in-house technichians. I love my doorbell camera and the app the most. I would highly recommend this company and products to anyone.

We can monitor the inside and outside of our house when we are away. It all works great. There was a billion questions when I first set up my system. They gave me an invoice and then the balance due on my web account was much higher than the final invoice that I was given. When I called to ask why, no one could answer me. It took like three weeks before there was somebody there who could look on it and see that I swapped out a higher quality camera then I originally got. It took him a long time to figure out my billing question.

It's not fast when connecting to my cell phone. The app is user friendly. I had an issue and they responded pretty quick but it took them three tries to fix it. They kept saying it was a bad sensor when it was actually the panel and I had to tell them either replace the panel or take the thing out. It has worked perfect since. I do like their higher end cameras better than their lower end cameras, I have two of each. The higher end camera has a wider view and higher resolution. I think they need to stress to their customers the amount of speed they need on their internet. I'm in a rural area so internet is difficult.

There's no contract. I love the smart home feature. The cameras and everything are good quality. They are always able to help me out with any issues. There's never a no. There's always a way to solve the situation. They should have a website where you can see prices, discounts, and upgrades. I wanted to add some cameras a while back but they told me the monitor I had wasn't compatible and I'd need to buy a new one at full price.

I believe in the company and my kids also have Vivint in their homes. I have two hubs in my home and ten cameras. They run efficiently. If one goes off, you've got Vivint on the line calling to make sure you are okay. Customer service is great. Every time I call, they've been efficient and have the knowledge.

I have had Vivint for over 6 years now. Overall I am very happy with the service. Most of their equipment has work great. Both of my neighbors have both had attempted breaking. I have not had a single incident. I thank Vivint for that. However I have had a few issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. I no long use them as both have failed. I'm sure in six years they have update or switched to a different type. However I haven't bothered with getting a replacement.

A friend of ours have Vivint and they were very pleased with it so we decided to give it a try. The best thing about Vivint are the video cameras and being able to control it from the app on our phone and smartwatch. Anytime that I have talked with someone they are extremely nice and helpful. Our cat has tripped the motion sensor before and they've always been quick to call and make sure everything is ok.

It's very modern and works very well. If we forget to set the alarm you can just set it from the phone. We had a little trouble over our contract with what we were promised and what we got. One suggestion would be to insure that their sales people are maybe a bit more careful filling out their forms so that when you're promise something you get it. There need to be better communications between the sales people and Vivint.

Very good. I like the cameras and I am very pleased with the service and everything. Customer service does not hurry you through the process and they take the time to make sure all your questions are answered and I feel very good about talking to them. I am getting a lot of bang for my buck and once the equipment is paid off, it is about thirty dollars cheaper than ADT with better features.

I get alerts on my phone. I can access the cameras and lock the doors from my cell phone. They are easy to reach with no long hold times. When I had an issue they were able to solve it very quickly. I was most concerned about the windows and doors because I have young kids. We have sensors on everything and a doorbell camera which I find is a nice feature knowing whos coming to your door.

The best thing is the doorbell camera feature and the fact that they are very responsive even with false alarms. The doorbell feature is what I utilize the most. It would be nice to see an upgraded version of the camera with better megapixel quality. Vivint's customer service is able to address all my issues promptly. So far all equipment has been functioning correctly.
