Wendy Chamblee Ladson, SC

Worst company ever! I was told I'd pay for the first month then get 4 free. After almost 5 months with them and 3 phone calls, I have yet to receive a free month. Honestly I would've canceled already but I've put it off because I know it'll be a run around just to do that. Every time I've called, they've been reasonably nice, I get passed around to different people or talked to like I'm making up what I was told. I fully regret giving Vivint my business.

Not thrilled my sensor in my garage door fell into the door which doesn't allow it to be picked up by alarm system. I have called and nothing happens. The o e at my back door pops out half the time. The workmanship was just horrible!!!

Absolutely terrible. Two separate occasions now I have needed to view important events from the indoor camera. Both times the camera happened to be recorded an event every couple of minutes. I figured they could go back and pull the event anyways but there was no help with this. Was told I was out of luck. Pretty terrible I am paying almost $100 a month for Vivint and when I really need to use my services both times I could not receive the help I needed.

Stuart Thompson Lancaster, CA

I would not recommend Vivint to anyone. I was lied to and mislead when originally getting the system. I have had the system in place since March and now one of the cameras has multiple time slots that state ‚Äúvideo not available". What is the point of having a camera system that you can't go back and retrieve video from? The panel disconnects from the internet every month or so and I have to reboot the entire system multiple times to get things working again. I have no issues with anything else that is connected to my internet, only the Vivint system.

Some aspects are great but then when you realize you spent so much money and you could have don't it on your own for 1:4 of the price it's disappointing. We got a garage door thing and it didn't get installed at service so that was a pointless buy as it still hasn't been. Wish we would have saved our money.

Terrible. I was ripped off. I was under the impression I was paying $2500 for both of my systems since I have two properties. Then I found out I was paying $5000 for both which is completely ridiculous. It was too late and I could not return the equipment. One of property alarm is still having issues and they will not fix it. I will never do business with this company again.

Little did I know I was opening up a credit loan so I called to cancel it took them over a month to get the equipment and they never closed out my account and I was still getting charged every month through fortiva and there still calling me everyday saying I owe from aug-now when it was only suppose to be a free trial.

The sales person, didn't come through on his promise to provide a certificate of monitoring. The equipment is faulty. At nights I keep getting notifications of packages drop off. Yes I turned down the sensitivity on the sensor. Plus others that I cant remember. I keep getting my bill after the due date. I'm guessing they do this to charge the late fee.

worst experience ever. Hub and doorbell camera microphone do not work every other week and I cannot just be on the phone all the time for it. Also for people out there do not get into this contract because it all the way a raw deal . They delay you in answering your inquiry and you are given 48 hours to cancel. Everything is hasty. You can just purchase yourself camera and have unified network built for your and a linux server to monitor your own house for 1/10 of the price.

The sales person does not tell you thewhole truth and the total price of the package $3,000 paid thru Citizen One. Also it is a 5 year plan you CANNOT opt out before that. When I sell the house, the new home owners have to agree to accept the package or I will have to remove it and leave empty places on the wall. I had Front Point and once Vivint is paid off I will goback to Front Point.

The salesman came into my house in the evening, I accepted his product because I thought it would be good to update the setup already in my house. I was surprised when they wanted to do the work on the same night. The one man doing the actual setup did not finish and did not leave until after 10 p.m. The doorbell and camera do not work or reset.

Frustrating and exceedingly below expectations. I have had the system for only 3-4 months and I have already had to call multiple times due to faulty devices. The problems are still there and when I called the last time to fix the problem, I was sent the completely wrong replacement, showing the person didn't take the time to understand my problem. I don't even bother to activate the system anymore because something is always wrong with it anyways so it wouldn't arm if I wanted it to.

The technology is okay but the customer service is terrible. When you call about an issue you get bounced from one person to another and most calls end up taking 45 minutes to an hour and rarely does the issue get resolved. I am actually sorry I went with Vivint, I should have stayed with my previous security system provider.
