After 3 months, we've been pretty satisfied with the service so far. The equipment seems to be top notch and we're pleased with the features that are offered.

I have the Vivint doorbell camera, home security hub, 2 glass breaks, and smoke detector. The doorbell camera goes offline almost 50% of the time someone is detected which basically makes it useless. I have called and have not gotten help resolving the issue. I even increased my internet to see if that was the issue and it is not. The reaction time for detecting someone on the camera is also very delayed. I sometimes donâ€™t get notification about a detection until they are walking away. After 1 month of installation I had both of the batteries of my glass breaks indicate low battery and need to be replaced. I did get a credit to my account to replace the battery but I think itâ€™s ridiculous that the batteries barely lasted 30 days. I would not recommend these products to anyone.

The service is great. I've been having trouble with my front door camera since the installment. No techs came out to fix the issue. They just waste my time on the phone resetting everything in my house. It's on my credit so I have no choice but to deal with it.

Weâ€™ve had ups and downs with Vivent so far. Our instal experience was less than ideal but we are liking the products we have. Promises have not been followed through on since the beginning, but we feel more secure with a security system in our home. Itâ€™s a double edged sword.

Itâ€™s a decent alarm system. My only gripe is the alarm is not loud enough, the cameras lag to much when trying to watch video, and the representative that initially came was not straight forward and honest on explaining billing and credit card association to the contract.

The initial install was rushed and several things needed to be fixed. They were fixed in a promptly manner once I gave them a call. So far the service has been great. I am not sure the equipment deserves the high price tag I paid for it though.

Definitely not happy. I don’t like their customer service. They have admitted they have lied. Saying people are scheduled to come out when they are not is a blatant lie. I missed two days of work because of their lies. My system was not properly installed and it took over three weeks to get them to properly install it. My home was not secure but I was paying for it. I am unable to ge.t out of my contract

I am having trouble getting through to support because the phone line waits are so long. I need to get a hold of people to find out why some of the promises have not come true. It seems to be working but the sales representative should be honest and not promise things that are not going to happen. I am being billed double.

Vivint is not as expected, the cameras go offline more often than at the beginning, have to change batteries on the sensors after 3 months, I had to make it convenient for the installer to put the cameras where he wanted it to not where I wanted them to. Once you locked in the contract is not much you can do.

Not good. I tried for a month to get someone to help me with the buyout. I finally had to call and be on hold for over 30 minutes to get this taken care of. Way overpriced. I wish I had never changed from Brinks.

It's been mixed. I like the Vivint system a lot in general. Much better than others I've used. I would appreciate some specific improvements on the monitoring app. I feel a little bit iffy about the Vivint sales and customer service.

Tayler G. Las Vegas, NV

Overall not positive. We are being charged more monthly than the sales rep said. I even have proof through texts of costs, but vivint has not honored it. Also we get a ton of false alarms. It makes us not even want to set our alarm system anymore. I am disappointed in the company for these reasons. The quality of their products seemed genuinely amazing and I fought my husband for them over ADT. Needless to say we are upset at how everything has been handled thus far. Just being honest!
