The sales rep and the technician Alex that did the install were excellent. My only concern is the cameras won't stay connected. Keep having to physically unplug and reboot some cameras.

Bogus Billing

I was told my bill would begin July 5th. That was a lie. I just received an email stating I have a past due bill dates June 5th which is the day my alarm was installed!

HORRIBLE customer service and NOT RELIABLE

Was okay at first but then things started going wrong and every experience with customer service left me more and more frustrated, not helping me fix the problem and not treating me as a customer but more as a number. They didn’t understand half the time what I was trying to get done or ask about, and the other half the time they just straight up told me no we can’t do anything to help you. I have a ton of chat screenshots with proof of all the different things that they said to me, conflicting, and they have absolutely no transparency on what their whole system and billing structure is. A lot of the cameras malfunctioned a lot of the time, I had to turn off some of the functions completely for several months due to it going off every two minutes with nothing there. They charge you up the wazoo 4 equipment that doesn’t even have the quality that they boast about and upsell you on, and the tech visits are not as they explained either. Super unreliable, horrible customer service, lower quality equipment than advertised and promised, and no ability to cancel the service without paying a ton of money that’s not even worth it. DO NOT GET VIVINT!!! Go with something else😓

Buyer beware

Buyer beware. Just go with ring or adt this alarm is horrible. And they don't actually monitor your alarm. Equipment will fail before your 1st year of having alarm and the fees to have a tech come out are dumb if you're Equipment wasn't so raggedy it would still be working. I finally just removed my doorbell and put my ring doorbell back up. This company is a rip off a scam. Don't do it...
