The products themselves are very useful and help with the security and safety of my home. I have a camera that doesn't work anymore and they won't come fix it. So now I have a useless cameras and I'm still paying for. It would be good to have a list of all of the products and their pricing because I definitely would have gotten more. It would also be good to offer better customer support when I'm with a lifetime warranty.

Salesperson was willing to say anything to get the sale, including that the batteries for the wireless sensors were replaced free as part of the warranty (they aren’t). Also, the company seems to be especially money-grubbing, charging fees for things like enabling your own devices (such as garage door openers) to be integrated into the system.

Cameras and garage door are constantly going off line for no reason. Never provided the proper color deadbolts for doors. Panel has made a burn spot on wall from overheating. (Just waiting on that to catch fire and we’re suing)!! Videos from recording are missing constantly. Not as vivid an image as I was shown by the rep that invited herself inside my garage that said “she’s not here to sell anything”. Hate.... hate being lied to despite giving this company a chance. Very displeased!! Oh and never sent a technician out when I requested months and months ago.

The products are great, the sales tactics and customer service is absolutely terrible. I recommend doing a lot of research when signing a contract with this company, and never sign up with a door to door salesman. Also if you need anything done on your account you will need to speak with at least 3 customer service representatives before anything gets done.

Video load times are delayed, and when pulling up live cameras are very delayed, our main box has lost cell connection multiple times and cameras seem to lose connections often. Also our alexa does not connect with the system and our sales rep said the video would show on our alexa video device. Lastly our sales rep told us Vivint would purchase us out of our current system and equipment which was one of the main reasons we went with the new system, but I never received information on how to be reimbursed for the cost of our previous system

My system only occasionally works. We have called several, several, several times and they don't seem to know what they're doing. We purchased a service plan from them and then we were told that they didn't service our area then our service plan was discontinued. They told us on a number of accations that it would be two months or longer before they could address our issue--we've had nothing but problems with them. We've had problems with both of our door locks and with the command center. The people who came to fix it basically didn't know what they were doing and then at one point they started sending us parts for us to fix the unit ourselves. We have requested several times for a technician to come out and I've been put on a waiting list and am never notified when they are going to come out--just a bad, bad situation all the way around.
