I like knowing I have some type of protection for home. I do not like that issues cannot easily be resolved when I’m away from home. I have to be present and most of the time I have to do it myself with someone over the phone. For this kind of service I don’t like that monthly rate went up more than $3 per month.

disappointed with the install and the quality of the equipment. we have had multiple issues with our door lock. I dont like that I am required to spend an hour on the phone with support trying to fix the issue before they will consider sending a tech out. I'm upset that when I was having issues with the poor install of my equipment the response was vivint will send me glue and I can fix the problem. the customer should never be required to fix the mistake of the business.

Vivint had a good offer at the time I purchased it. They have always been nice when I have called in. My favorite part is the video camera for my doorbell. The only problem is my keyless entry. It always flags on the monitor that it's not locked when it is locked so I don't know what the issue is but that.

I like everything it's supposed to do, like allow me to see security video footage from anywhere any time. Unfortunately, it only works about half of the time; often the mobile app will sit there buffering for several minutes and sometimes refuses to show the footage I'm after until I eventually give up.

Denis Diaz Hinesville, GA

After 5 months I‚Äôm still having a hard time trying to get everything installed. We called to make an appointment but the contractor was only tracking to put in the thermostat. We still have cameras that need setup, and a garage door remote controller. I wish we never agreed to go with this service since I‚Äôm stuck having to pay for products that Im not even using. I‚Äôve even asked vivint to take some of them back. First I was told they would accept them, and that we would get credit towards my bill since the job isn‚Äôt complete. I‚Äôm still making my regular payments, and now they‚Äôre saying they won‚Äôt take the products back. It‚Äôs a good Idea and system, but honestly it‚Äôs worthless when I can‚Äôt even get it installed properly, or get proper help. I can‚Äôt really tell what the issue is. I made the choice to pay for this service but at this moment I feel like I was misled into thinking I was getting more than what I actually got, and I feel trapped. I think The biggest downfall is lack of communication and inconsistency within the customer service.

Expensive, overpriced, and they charge way more than equipment is worth... and lock you into a five-year contract. There are many other security companies out there that are much cheaper, don‚Äôt require a technician to come out for every little change you make, and don‚Äôt require a contract‚Ä¶ And for only a fraction of the cost to get more features and benefits with other companies. I wish I would‚Äôve done more research before choosing Vivint.

The service from start to now, was hurry up and make the sale to have CPI removed from the house, install your equipment. We were lied to that our front door lock would continue to work with the system. No, now we have been told that it has to meet Z wave tech specs. The cameras and panel disconnects from wifi all the time, never had that problem with CPI.
