When equipment was first installed, the doorbell camera did not work appropriately. At one point the door alarm did not work. I did not give a very low rating because customer service has been outstanding.

Lisa Paulson Muskegon, MI

Vivint has screwed me over. They are not upfront about how the company actually works. And then they took money out of my account to pay the monthly bill then put it back in!! I have to talk to someone every 30 days because my bill always gets bigger and bigger and when I try to talk to someone about it they are unsympathetic and rude. I have paid then alot of money and then get told I owe them even more money. I have never been more unhappy with a company than this one. 30 days ago I talked to there agent and was told that he had heard this before and didn't know how to help me. I told them I was done with the service for them to come take the equipment back and was then told if I wanted to cancel I would have to pay the entire amount owed which was 2500. So again I'll say they completely screwed me over. Do not recommend them to anyone.

Karey Slone Dayton, OH

Terrible, I have tried repeatedly to get my camera moved. I asked for it to be placed in a specific place and the technician decided it would work better for me in a different place, as a result it does not pick up movements where I want it to detect movement. When I call I'm always told I need to speak to a different dept that isn't open at that time. The car alert thing I paid a ton of money for doesn't work, has never worked. The technician knew there was a problem at installation. He somehow bypassed it so that it was reading like it was working until about 30 mins after he left. It hasn't worked the whole time I've had it. Again every time I call to complain I'm told I need to speak to a different dept that isn't open at that time. I've tried to call at different times and on different days can not get ahold of anyone willing to help me.

The sales person, Justin Robertson, was dishonest with me just to make the sale. He said if he could have me sign the agreement that day and not have to return he would pay for my first month of service - $90. I have kept all his texts to me that backs this up. I never received that promise. Very displeased.

I don't like the system. I don't like the video doorbell setup. I am unable to go back and view live videos. I am unable "snooze" the doorbell camera, if I am cutting the grass or blowing the snow. The quality of the camera is not that good. I shouldn't have to press to talk and and release to listen. I shouldn't be lock into a 5 year contract. There should be a trial period longer than 3 days.

Always pulling way extra money from my account I have 9 kids and when I first got them again they over pulled and salesman lied to my face and then I have had bad luck with my doorbell camera and then I give permission to pull monthly dues and they pull for a warranty doorbell when I was told they invoice it with a tracking number and again I didn't have funding to buy my groceries because they pulled $249 extra that wasn't authorized and now it's taking a week to get money back what a joke

I have had nothing but trouble with Vivint since we moved from El Paso to Houston; they changed the products we were used to and we don't like the new products, the app is so slow it almost never loads so I can't use it to view the videos from the cameras in a timely manner, and it glitches regularly; add in that the customer service gives you the run around - they're nice about it but it's difficult to get anyone from the correct department to answer your questions. I get shuffled around from person to person. The "glass break" detectors will set the alarm off for any noise EXCEPT breaking glass, and I hate them but cannot return them. The company they use to perform service requests in my area were incredibly unprofessional the first time they came out, accusing me of things that I did not do in their "customer notes" section and not performing all of the requested services. I would give zero stars if I could, as the problem never was resolved to my satisfaction. The only reason we still use Vivint is because we didn't cancel within the acceptable window and couldn't afford to incur the charges of canceling the service and equipment.

As a business, using Vivint for our service has been nothing short of a struggle. We will be on the phone with them for hours on end, getting passed back and forth between departments and never reaching a resolution. We have constantly communicated that we are a business and have multiple properties, but every time we talk to them, no one seems to have any idea how to help us with our problems. I know that your main client is the single homeowner, but you would think there would be some kind of options for businesses who want to use Vivint systems. We waste a ridiculous amount of time every time we call and it has helped us make a decision to go with a different security solution in all 8 of our properties.

I have some concerns, like since the lady update, I can no longer delete footage as a group. Another concern is that I cannot answer the door bell on my phone in real time.

Very frustrating. When I am alerted that someone is at my door, there is a huge delay, like hours!! Sometimes a day or 2! I had a package delivered today and I saw the lady drop it at my front door but when I got home it was gone and my system does not have a video of this person because there seems to be a delay. I want my package back!

I needcto TALK , NOT email, to discuss & correct this matter if you really care about your customer as you say you do. I need more instruction on using the app as it is not working right.

Right now I am VERY unhappy with Vivant. I was promised (as part of their sales pitch) a $200 credit for giving them my Ring Doorbell. I have spoken to one representative of their company that said I would be contacted in 3-5 working days. It has been over 4 months and to date I have not heard from anyone. I sent the person I spoke to an email which came back as undeliverable. I would like them to honor the commitment they made to me as part of the sale. I would not be able to recommend Vivant at this time.

The salesman misrepresented some of the benefits, the camera has some distortion, but mostly, the thermostat is erratic. We have the heat set to 71-71, but it will not produce heat, dropping down to the low sixties, while blowing cold air. On two occasions in the summer, it blew out hot air, raising the internal temperature to 90!

Pressure sales man, came to my door after 8pm and really used some intense pressure to get me to sign up when he and I both knew that I didn't want to. He didn't care about me, just making a sale. He had people to my door within 30 minutes installing equipment until 11pm which I did not appreciate. When I said I would be flexible with the install date, I didn't mean immediately that night. I was given no time to think about the offer and forced to sign while he was at my door. Luckily I was able to cancel and have the product removed within 3 days at no expense to me. It was an unpleasant experience.

If I could get out of this contract I would gladly do so. Or should I say ‚Äúfinancing". You literally get stuck with them for years u less you have 4K out of pocket to pay for the equipment, then you're only stuck with their bad service for as long as you want to keep the cameras. The billing department is a joke, I had to remove my card from auto-pay after SEVERAL unauthorized charges totaling almost $800. Took forever to get a refund. You call and talk to people abroad, most of the time you can't understand what they're saying. Their phone hold times are RIDICULOUS. The service is very laggy and I've called multiple times about it to the point that I don't even care anymore, I just deal with it, turned deter off cause you can't see anything in real time anyway. I've never had a company with worst service and worst customer service. BIGGEST REGRET OF MY LIFE. Go with Ring instead, take my word for it.

Not good so far. Glass breakage monitor has not worked since installation. Now the doorbell camera goes off every 2-8 mins starting at dusk and continues until daylight. The evening and night time picture is distorted a and not useful. I have called customer service three times about the issue with a minimum hold time of 50+ mins and maximum 11/2 hrs. The last call resulted in replacement of the camera. That was over a month ago and we still have not received the camera nor any correspondence to inform us if the camera will ever be sent. So as of now we just continue to receive alerts starting in the evening and throughout the night. Needless to say the security system does not work for us and has not worked properly since the date of installation which was over six months ago

My experience had not been good. I have me equipment for less than 3 months and have problems with it working correctly. I'm not talking about I don't know how to use my system, I work in information technology every day. I'm saying that my panel doesn't keep a VPN connection and I cannot use my app to view my cameras remotely. One of the main reasons I went with this system over others. I have been told they need to send a tech out but it will be 3 weeks from the time they agreed to send one. I've been on the phone with customer support so many times I know the trouble shooting questions they are going to ask before they ask them and I've already done it in the order they request. Also I've got 2 other families to sign up in the first few weeks and never got credit on my account. That is completely poor business!

I've been trying to get Car Guard off my plan foe over a month now. Nothing but delay, delay, DELAY! It's also a real effort trying to understand some of the agents. My issue has STILL not been resolved! The equipment nay be good, but Customer Service stinks!

Horrible. Was bullied into purhcasing without accurate information regarding installation and service. Was told the equipment would not require putting holes into interior or exterior walls. Installation team did not wear masks inside of my home. When attempting to cancel service per contact's terms, the salesperson who signed me up would not respond to either my own or Vivint's inquiries to confirm my cancellation, causing three full months of billing despite our equipment having already been uninstalled by a Vivint technician. I have several senior, fixed-income, english-as-a-second-language neighbors who have similarly been taken advantage of by Vivint whom I have had to advocate for in order to cancel their service (some of them never even receieved equipment, yet were being billed by Fortiva for it.) I wouldn't in a million years recommend this company to someone, unless they had deeply or mortally wounded me--even then I would hesitate.
