The Good

  • Vivint Smart Home Mobile App
  • High-Tech Smart Home Equipment

Vivint Smart Home Mobile App

Homeowners have the option of monitoring, surveilling, and controlling their home from their smartphones through Vivint’s mobile app.

The Vivint Smart Home mobile app allows users to have complete control over their homes (even if they're traveling across the country). Homeowners can see who's at their door with the doorbell camera, unlock the door for delivery people, and customize specific actions such as having the front and back door automatically lock at 11 P.M. every night. 

The app is an excellent feature as it increases the security of your home and gives you peace of mind. If you can't remember if you locked the door on your way out, simply check your phone. 

High-Tech Smart Home Equipment

Vivint offers a variety of advanced smart home equipment. All equipment integrates well with other security and smart home equipment and makes your home safer and more manageable.

Smart Hub Dashboard

Vivint’s Smart Hub is a touchscreen dashboard with an intuitive layout that allows customers to control and manage their smart homes. The hub includes two-way talk and a one-touch callout in the case of an emergency, which will give you instant communication with Vivint’s 24/7 monitoring teams.  

The Smart Hub's quality and straightforward interface makes controlling your smart home a breeze, and being able to manage your entire home from one central control hub is a bonus. 

Element Thermostat

Vivint has an Element Thermostat that helps homeowners conserve energy and save on utility bills. You can set preferred settings so that the Element can auto-adjust to your specified temperature after you arrive home, and you can also control the smart thermostat from your Vivint app. 

Indoor/Outdoor Cameras

Vivint has an indoor camera and an outdoor camera that you can choose from. The indoor Ping Camera includes two-way communication and a one-touch callout button that gives your home a line of communication to your smartphone. This way, you can check in on your home and your family through the Vivint app and Ping Camera. 

Vivint’s Outdoor Camera Pro includes two-way talk, hybrid wired Wi-Fi connection, a wide-angle lens with night vision, and HD video and zoom capabilities.

Vivint also has a doorbell camera option that includes Smart Visitor Detection that alerts you whenever someone comes to your door. Its technology is also programmed to ignore other unimportant movements, such as a car passing by. Through Vivint’s app, you can access live footage and speak to your visitors with two-way talk.

The Bad

  • No Online Pricing Information
  • Professional Installation Only 

No Online Pricing Information

Vivint is not transparent about its pricing on its website, so customers need to request a quote and expect a call from a Vivint representative to get further information.

Professional Installation Only

Vivint only offers professional installation for its smart home services. If you’re looking for a do-it-yourself solution, Vivint may not be for you. Vivint also does not state on its website if professional installation is free or if you will need to pay an installation fee.

The Bottom Line

Vivint provides a reliable home automation service and has robust smart home options, including some of the most popular features available to the smart home market. These include various security and energy controls to help homeowners monitor and protect their homes.

If you are looking for a secure home automation system that can be closely integrated with your home security system, you can consider Vivint Smart Home Automation as a viable option.

It’s important to note that vivint does not list its pricing or contract information on its website, so you’ll need to contact the company for more information.

Edythe N Blackwell Grayson, GA

I had no idea that the young lady put batteries in the doors. It said that the batteries are low. I figured it out and took the batteries out and went to the battery + store. I bought new ones and installed it. It still read low. I took the battery out and went back they tested it and it was fine. It takes pictures and then you can no see the picture later. I did better with my old system. The installer didn't give a good explanation about how the new system that she installed. I am older and I had to figure out what to do. If it worked properly then I would have given it a better grade. I did call customer service, however I ended up having to call back cause the thing was offline. It's just a lot.

Salesman did not follow through on our request to have original thermostats put back; installation of a keypad in the master bedroom was sloppy leaving a hole. Asked that it be fixed with a previous review provided, no one followed through and fixed the hole. Backyard camera keeps sending alerts when a bug or bird flies by or if it's raining. Also, unit that's plugged in for this camera keeps switching from blue to red to blue. The same unit in the garage does not do this. Cannot program thermostat installed to switch from sleep temp to wake-up temp at a specific time (our original thermostats had that feature; again they were not put back as requested)

Equipment works ok. Customer Service not the best. Was not informed that a loan would be taken out at the bank for the equipment. It was my understanding that we would be renting the equipment from Vivint. Now that we would like to discontinue our services with Vivint, that is not possible due to the bank loan we only recently discovered. We were never even given the option to purchase the equipment outright. Not a good judgement call on the part of the seller.

Never recieved the DVR I was told I could get to fix the ongoing pauses in the videos my systems keeps going offline and when I go to see who is at my house live the lag is so bad by the time I see whats going on the person is gone. The system freezes quite a bit when you go to look from your phone wish the quality was what I was told it was not sure what you can do to fix this problem.

The cameras don’t work majority of the time. They are constantly going off when no one is even around. They forget where the place shipped packages to them, and harass you for 4 months saying you owe a huge bill because you didn’t return items. Then they find it and offer you a lazy $15 off for a month for them harassing you for several months. Then they lie about giving you items for free because they don’t put it in the system. So you get played.

after 2 hrs on the phone to set up my new main box it still didn't work my cameras are unable to playback mode. I'm still unable to open my garage from my mobile device. After talking to a supervisor they wanted to charge me to have a tech come out and fix my equipment and getting it working.

As far the equipment is concern I have some issues with the wifi. You sent me a new router but I am not sure is working. Instead, you should offer fixing the problem in house. I am also upset because when I signed in with you been referred by my wife, I was told that I would get a credit for 200.00 for me and other 200 for my wife for the referral.

They were not upfront at all about costs. When I tried to get breakdown, I was told one thing from one representative, then another thing by a different representative. Customer service was awful. I’d be told they were doing one thing, then follow up and be told another thing by someone else.

Faulty devices with poor customer service when experiencing issues. When I called back to remedy a problem I have to go through the same script to explain the problem again. Now they are asking to climb a ladder to reset the faulty camera or I can pay for a technician to repair the problem.

The app used to work fine, but recent updates have rendered it almost useless. You can't view live stream on the cams, you can't change the mode of the thermostats, and there are times that the garage door opener doesn't work. What is the point of having a state of the art security system that doesn't work?

I got scammed by Vivint sale man name Blake M. He told me to do trial 1 month then after one month, I can cancel if I don't like it. So I try to cancel and he is not responding. Even customer service could not reach out to him.. When I called customer service they said too late to cancel .. Now I am stuck with 60 months contract that I don't want to do. If you want to cancel you will have to pay 30 months for early cancellation. I pretty sure most people stick with Vivint is not because of theyvlike it..it is because of they got scammed and stuck with 60 months contract. I will tell all my frds, everybody I know and please passed this to everyone.

We have had their equipment and monitoring for 42 months. Recently I had an issue and they needed a technician to come out and go through my system. after three failed attempts and many lost hrs. You know what. I am going to cut this short, they have lied to me, made promises they haven’t kept, duped my wife into extending our contract, still haven’t gotten a tech to come out to fix the issue,. I’m pissed and would switch if I wasn’t still under contract, actually I may buy out the contract and switch anyways. I would not recommend this company at all. Again, I would not and never will recommend this company to anyone. The customer service is unforgivably horrible. Lots of so sorry’s but No action.

My wife and I have been Vivint customers from 2012 until tonight. We have referred them to many people and have never really encountered a problem until tonight. We are moving my elderly mother in with us and were in the process of canceling her account when the operator told her that she would need to pay $800.00 to cancel her 5 year agreement. She had another option to try and sell her equipment to another poor soul and have them take over the remaining time left. Funny thing is the contract we have a copy of says 24 months and should be about to expire. I called vivint tonight on my moms behalf and tried to reason with them. I asked why would every other person we referred, along with us be offered a 24 month package and then try to screw over an elderly widow with a five year contract? They didn't have a good answer. They gave me three different expiration dates during the duration of my call but none of them matched what was on her written contract. So to make things easier I had them look up my account and had them verify that my contract was up. They did. I told them to cancel my contract and that we would move my mother's service over. Easy right? Nope! They were willing to do this but wanted to charge $100 to send a technician out to move her equipment. I explained that wasn't necessary because we already had it hooked up. They said that he still had to come out and change the name over. I laughed because they can talk to you through the system, they can turn your alarm off from their office, but they cannot change the name on the bill without coming out???? I did not agree with the charge, canceled my membership, and told them to please charge my mom the $800. I am going to pursue this ridiculousness with all that I have. This is a total joke of a company, full of crooks and unethical selling tactics. I'm sending my contract to my attorney the first time I am contacted about this charge. I promised the salesperson on the phone that I would be as vocal as possible to every ear I could find and let people know what this company is all about. Here's to the beginning of a long night. I've just begun. #vivintsmarthome

Customer service in the Philippines is socks, seems like they don't know what their doing or they don't do their job properly. They don't give you a last name of the person you spoke too. It says to protect thier identity. And they keep passing me to different person. It's very frustratin and waiting for longer period of minutes, one person cut off the line and did not call back. How can you make things right with this person and complain. Anyway. Hopefully my problem will be solved. I will see next month if they did their job properly. Maria From Ontario Canada

Had VIVINT Smart Home for just over 1 year. Billing issues from the start! I was being billed "monthly" for equipment I paid for upfront. Equipment failure issues: from the Panel, the doorbell camera the driveway camera. requiring rebooting the system to updating the App. "Inconvenience Credits" offered screwed up the billing process. Billing by mail arrived AFTER the due date. When the home panel image "froze" this week. I'd had it! Then it took 4 customer reps plus a "Customer Loyalty" (at their insistence) before I could cancel my service.

We had this system for almost a year and it never really worked ever! Meaning there was always an issue with one camera at any given time! Finally, they removed the equipment and we are searching for a new system! The customer service is 50/50 depending who you get, and they were either amazing or horrible! Great idea but it would have to work 100 % of the time for me to be happy!

The overall system is great but I was not billed what was given to me on the phone. The customer service is horrible when trying to resolve issues. They did not install all equipment I signed for as well as what I was paying for due to the weather that day. The technician stated he would come back but never did. I took off of work to meet them to install and they were 5 hours late. The experience with them was horrible.

Alarm is set off constantly by the wind. Customer service is a joke! I pay $41.00 a month for a useless system. I don’t bother to even turn it on.

The cameras do not work and it takes to long to get help. I have just given up and I am paying monthly for devices that do not help at all.

They lie to get you into a 5 year contract and only give you 3 days to cancel before you can’t do anything about it.

Dont do it. They charge you for everything. They even charge you for having a technician come out to repair their faulty equipment. You are expected to fix it yourself while on the phone with them for 3 hours. I can give you so many more, examples, but no time. Sad, to say, i have my attorneys working on getting me out this contract.
