Doug Williams Virginia Beach, VA

I have had nothing but good service from this company. I had my cameras taken out and was credited the cost.( Nothing wrong with the cameras I just didn't use them). I had my outside signs replaced because the color faded. My smoke detectors have gone off several times and the" Vivint" monitoring team responded from the wall speaker box making sure we were ok. The premiums are comparable to other security services in this area.

We have had Vivint for over 4 yrs and are very satisfied with their service. Have never had any bad things happen but did set our alarm off twice by accident ( Didn't get to it in time to turn off coming in our house ) and they called immediately to make sure everything was ok

We had moni and vivint came to our house and my husband thought it was a good idea to go with vivint so, the salesman said they would pay off our contract with moni so, we called moni they emailed us the amount which was $3,942.00 so the salesman said no it was to much money they offered us $700. Towards our contract with moni or cancel with vivint wihich I understand and agreed to cancelled with vivint so, the technician came and took all the equipment including our panel and other items that belong to moni ,next day moni came in to install their equipment back and asked for the panel and other items I, told them the other guy had taken them I called the technician from vivint to ask him for the items he said I didn't take them maybe the guys that installed your equipment took them and he would ask him when he came back from vacation.. so needless to say we ended up paying $200. To moni for the equipment their technician took.. send moni an email with the bill and they have not answered back... so be ware of the technicians .

Cons: Salespeople promise things that they have no control over just so they can make the sale, but that's probably everywhere. Overpriced. Pros: Customer service is usually really good. Free installs. Other: As long as you stay on top of your account then you won't have any issues. I hear a lot of people complaining about not getting a call about their alarm going off when they haven't updated their phone number to even be called. A lot of other similar issues can come up if you don't keep your information up to date. Depending on your location, it may take a lot of time for a technician to come take a look at your system, but the customer support can usually help you get it resolved.

Professional home visit followed by equally smart and cordial install crew. Everything works- the locks, the thermostats, the cameras, as expected from the app and the panel. Got what we wanted and wasn't pressured into anything more. A system had been on the list for a while, but I hadn't gotten around to doing it myself- mostly because of upfront costs and getting all the devices to talk to each other. Have been really impressed and would recommend.

I use VIVINT to remotely monitor a second home 150 miles away with indoor and outdoor cameras as well as indoor sensors and I also use VIVINT for my local residence, all of which have worked flawlessly. Customer service is excellent. Pricing is a bit higher than other services but well worth the peace of mind.

We have had the system for over a year in our house and my mother-in-law's. We love the doorbell camera. We also have the window break sensors and door monitors. We received a call from my mother-in-law's house that warned of freeze warning and we were 2.5 hours away and was able to turn the thermostat up remotely.

I had switched to ADT and was very unhappy with the service and product operation. Vivint's doorbell camera had better quality and recorded clips very well. ADT's doorbell camera would not even record any clips and it was difficult to even view the camera. I switched back to Vivint and had much difficulty with ADT in the switching process. Vivint's equipment and service far exceeds the standard of the other company.

Oh my goodness, I just have to rave about Vivint! These guys are seriously the best when it comes to home security and automation. Their system is like something out of a sci-fi movie, I kid you not. I can easily arm the alarm, check the cameras, and even adjust the temperature, all from my phone. It's like having superpowers, I tell ya! With Vivint, I feel so much safer and it's incredibly convenient. If you're looking to step up your home security game, trust me, Vivint is the way to go. They've got it all covered, and they're worth every single penny.

Vivint has been a great company to have securing our home . The response time is fast. We have had several incidents of setting itt off ourselves and they are right there asking if all is ok. Also, being able to set Or unlock the door while away from the house is a feature I have always liked. We will be moving soon and hope to use them in our next home.

We subscribed to Vivint services the summer of 2021 the video quality is very clear and identifiable. I appreciate the ability to easily access videos from my front door/backyard cameras. The response time with Vivint is on point, I get alerts and notifications to my phone without issue and can check on my home without connectivity/audio issues. Vivint also includes affordable security plans. Highly recommend.

I really have enjoyed having peace of mind with my Vivint security. I know when someone is coming to my door a few moments before they reach my door. It reminds me if I have left a door open. Anyone or anything that crosses the path of the camera automatically records. Lets me know if I'm not home. Has Fire alert especially if I'm not home as well as being home. I Love my Vivint. Customer service is great. I appreciate there response to my issues, if there is one. I have had my Vivint since I bought my house in December of 2019

We've had Vivint for about a year and it's been great. We had a different security company before and were happy to leave them for Vivint. Our old service had lots of false alarms, with the system going off before we could get inside. No issues like that with Vivint. The app works great, I can see my cameras anywhere anytime, and we're very happy with Vivint. Highly recommended.

I have used VivInt for over 15 years. Their line of security is excellent! I love the personal feedback f rom their security agents is the alarm is triggered at your home. You actually speak to a real live person! Their cameras catch the intruders! Indoor motion sensors are very accurate! A newer feature is the different door bell rings for holidays.; fun! Customer service is excellent and you can always reach someone! I highly recommend Vivint!

Mario Martin Huntsville, TX

I recently upgraded my daughters home security system (after many years with a competitor home security company) with new cameras and smart functions. Vivint was the home security company of her choice. Vivint security professionals were seemingly experienced and trained to assess my daughter's home, and design the best security home solution based on her particular need. Vivint attention to detail helped to truly instill my daughter's confidence as well as mine. The installers were professional, knowledgeable and they patiently showed her how to work the system remotely from her phone and/or computer device. Surprisingly, Vivint is a smart home security system where everything works together. My daughter and her family are able to control everything from everywhere on the app, with 24/7 monitoring and professional support. With Vivint my daughter's family and property are always protected and she didn't have to do anything! Vivint professional technicians came to the house and installed everything in a short amount of time, and made certain that every question and/or concerns that my daughter and her family had were patiently explain in detail. As a parent it was important to ME that this process was affordable, reliable, and secure. Afterwards, because of Vivint's professionalism, upgraded technology and price point, I'm strongly considering an Vivint upgrade home security system myself!

I am feeling much more secure with the added security if vivint. We live in a pretty safe neighborhood, but now I feel my home, package delivery and cars are a bit safer. The customer service department has been very helpful when I had to call on an issue. Wait time was reasonable and they did not transfer me around. They stayed with me until I received final resolution.

Our 2nd home (mostly a 3 season home) we installed vivint for our security there and it's freaking amazing! The clarity, no interruptions, or down times, no issues (this is in a rural area too)! We were able to get the license plate of someone who stole from our property and because of that they were able to track him down and arrest him! Customer service has always been nothing but stellar overall great company that we HIGHLY recommend!

We got Vivint installed in our home about 3 years ago and loved every thing they did for us. They gave us a package that was tailored to us with the option to add things on later if/when needed. we since sold out home and purchased another and they were GREAT to work with in getting things removed from the old home and installed in the new.

Once I went into my workplace in the morning and the alarm went off. I had never been told the code and didn't know how to disarm the alarm. The vivint guy called to check on me and make sure I wasn't breaking in, but I was so flustered and afraid of the alarm. He told me to turn of the alarm, that he didn't know how to help me figure it out and that he would have to hang up. He also said that the alarm might keep going if I didn't figure it out soon. I was very stressed. I wish he could have made it stop for me after hearing my situation and stress. However, that is a very effective alarm. It scared me ha!

I am looking to replace my current alarm and camera system because they can be a bit flaky. I saw an ad for Vivint and starting poking around the site, filled out the form for an "instant" quote and the phone calls began. The outbound sales team is RUDE. If you say it's not a good time they hang up before you even get the last word out. Don't even ask if there is a better time to call. They call 3-4 times per day, all different sales people and all with the same hang up and move on attitude. I would never do business with a company that treats potential customers like a waste of time.
