We love our Brinks security system. We have not had any problems with them or the alarm. I feel comfortable knowing they are watching our home. We will continue to use Brinks Security. Would recommend them.
View More ReviewsAfter doing research on the net and reading reviews I decided to contact LiveWatch to get a security system for our second home. I found them to be really knowledgeable and very friendly. They shipped me a system that arrived two days later and set up a time for an activation call. The activation call is not only to activate your system but for them to help you with any issues you had installing the system.
The system was simple to set up and only took about 30 minutes to install everything ( putting sensors on windows,doors, motion,etc). Their equipment is very modern with touch screen and can be accessed via smartphone if you desire. After installing the system in our second home I was so impressed with LiveWatch customer support that I decided to replace our aging system in our primary house.
Their contract is month to month so not expensive lock in .
The customer service is first rate and I highly recommend these folks.
It hurts when you have to cancel service with a business you have zero complaints about. After researching a number of home security systems last year, I chose LiveWatch Security b/c of their pricing and service options. I haven't been disappointed at all. Their customer service is great (knowledgeable, prompt, professional and friendly) and I had zero problems with the security system - and cancellation happened without any hassle. The only reason I'm canceling my service is because I'm moving to a new home that won't require another layer of home security. But, as I told the customer service guy today - if I require the service in the future, LiveWatch will be the first company I contact.
I've been so pleased with our security system! It started with our sales security expert named Tim H. He was wonderful and answered my million questions. He was very patient and helpful. Then when we activated the guy who helped us was fabulous. We had a few issues and he took all the time we needed to feel comfortable with the system. We have had the system over a month and love it. Easy to use and makes us feel secure and comfortable. Thank you Livewatch!
We've had this security unit for 12 years, but Brinks just took over last month. I first got the unit because it was cheaper at the time. And it still is. I had to get them lowered a couple of years ago. The security equipment has been excellent. There was a time I accidentally opened the door and was not able to get the alarm turned off in time. The response time was good. I would recommend Brinks because I've had good service out of it.
This is the worst customer service I have ever seen. They made me signed the contract by showing some free junk and one of it is SkyBell doorbell. It stopped working in 3 months and their support team went over and over again several times before they send technician. Finally the technician discovered it as defective unit and send report to Brinks for replacement.
We had an alarm installed (incorrectly) from Moni in September of 2017. We had to have sensors moved and replaced several times. We purchased new windows, and 2 weeks prior to the installation tried to schedule a Moni tech to remove sensors, and reset when windows were done. They refused. Told me to just take them off, and put them back on with double-sided tape. Sensors were damaged in removal, and I have been trying to get someone from Moni (now Brinks), since February. No luck. Impossible to get anyone on the phone that has any understanding or authority to help me. Why pay the monthly bill?
I renewed my contract with Moni and then they transferred over to Brinks. During the process, I had gotten an email on the 26th saying they were going to Brinks. I asked what that meant and they said that Brinks is taking ‘em over and that they’re selling out to Brinks. I asked if it was still gonna be the same service and I was told yes. However, it wasn’t. Some of the costs have gone up from what they originally stated to me. Before, when I called and the guard the came out, it cost 20 bucks. They sent out a guard about a month ago and I sent a check to them, but they said they haven’t received it. It was for $40 and now they’re trying to charge me $45. I thought it was quite expensive to send a guard out.
I purchased a contract through Moni Security, which was just bought over by Brinks Security. I was stupid enough to get sucked into a 5 year contract for a lower payment. From the first couple of weeks and thereafter, I have had no end of grief. I was quoted a price of 53.00 with a video bell, the bell worked for a short time, then stopped working. After months of calling, they wanted me to pay to fix the doorbell which was an issue from the beginning. After many phone calls, they sent a technician who said the doorbell was defective and replaced it without another video doorbell which also worked for a short time and went out.
I originally signed up with Point Security which was taken over by Monitronics, then taken over by Brinks. I did not want to go with Brinks security because I had them before and was not pleased with them then. That is why I got a smaller company, so I wouldn't have to worry about dealing with a big company that could care less about their customers. Now, I have been told that Brinks has taken over the company and the only way out of the contract is to pay it off completely! I waited on the phone one day for 30 minutes to get transferred around and then hung up on.
We signed up with Monitronics Security about 6 years ago. We have had the system turned off during that time more than it has been on. Problems with batteries going low and continuous "beeping noises". I continued with the system until March 1 of this year. March 1, I contacted Monitronics to cancel the system. I was offered several options to continue the service. I said "no" to every one, letting the person know I don't want the system. If I changed my mind, I would contact them.
I called Brinks when I noticed my bill had doubled. They said they would lower my bill back to where it was before Brinks bought out Moni who was my old security company. Today I get a letter from Brinks stating I had agreed to extend my contract another 38 months. I MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT!!! I never was told anything about having agreed to another contract. I told them I had sold my house and would be closing on September 17th, 2018. We would be moving. I called them to cancel my service and they said they would lower my bill. This letter I received is the first I'm hearing about a new contract. Now you best believe I'm going to cancel my service. I hope that call was recorded. Because the word contract was never discussed. How can they do this without my consent?
Just wanted to set up an online account, so can pay our bills on time, but as we tried to set up, it says you already have one, which we don't, it is brand new account. Started in June. Called the person who signed the contract with us, and set this account up, said she can not help, and we can not find anybody to help, so the bills were late last month, and will be late this month, because they are not mailing it by post, sending it by email, but there is no way we can pay. Lazy people! So frustrated!
DISHONEST - BEWARE! I agreed to a 1 year contract, cheated into 3 year contract without my knowledge! Brinks won't budge! 2 years ago, Monitronics came to my door sold me an amazing deal on an alarm system, the rep walked away leaving a flyer and he wrote no contract, monthly 19.99. I get mail a few days later saying I need to sign a 3 year contract and it's $75/mo. I said no. So we negotiated, I shopped around, we settled on 1 year contract, at $50/mo, no upfront costs, alarm system was complimentary. I felt that was fair.
I have been with Moni now Brinks for the last 3 years, and haven’t had to much trouble with them but renewed my contract this year due to the increase. I wish I hadn’t because ever since, I’ve had more false alarms in the middle of the night and now this fire alarm went off at least 5 times this morning and my screaming granddaughter was terrified. When a customer service person called my phone, he didn’t help. He just put me on hold and another person would answer and I’d have to repeat the same thing while the piercing noise continued.
I've had Moni (now Brinks) for almost 2 years. I signed a 3 year contract with them that guaranteed a specific rate for those 3 years. I assumed they would stick to the rate, so I wasn't really paying attention to how much they were auto debiting each month. Today while checking my bills I noticed that the rate seemed off, so I compared it to what my contract had and sure enough they are overcharging me. Within the first 6 months of the contract they began to charge me beyond the rate I agreed to. I was never notified of any price increase. It even says in the fine print that if the price changes then I am allowed to exit the contract.
I have had the absolute worst experience with this company. I initially joined up with Monitronics back in 2016, because there was a system set up at my house. I had a couple door locks added and paid on time every month like a good customer. I had so many issues with the service from the alarm not turning on, to failing door locks, to rude customer service, to the equipment shorting out my electricity by tripping my breaker box. When my contract expired in 2018, I called in to cancel my service after my two year term and they said it would be shut down. Then I got a bill. I called them to see what it was about and they said they sent me a cancellation email but it went to the wrong address and they said they apologized and would send another.
One year ago my family had a home alarm system by Monitronics installed. The services were good for a while and later off and on the system started having signal failure issues. We contacted the customer support number listed on our mobile app, and this has been the worst nightmare EVER! For starters the customer support is unprofessional, when you ask to speak to a manager you are denied the request. My family is so unhappy with this service now Brinks Home Security and want out of this contract. We are told you have to pay the full amount upfront before you can cancel. This was not told to us 2 days ago after spending 2 hours on the phone, cold transferred to the wrong dept, and back again to square 1. I hate the day Moni (Brinks) came into our LIVES!!!
The customer service was absolutely terrible. I ordered Brinks Home Security monitoring service with a nest secure system. When the system was delivered 2 days late I plugged it in as instructed but was unable to activate the account. After being on the phone with customer service and technical support for nearly 5 hours I finally discovered that the nest secure system wouldn't work because we do not have T-Mobile cell service coverage in our area. No one during the ordering process confirmed that the service would work.
I would give this company zero Stars if I could. When I first joined in the salesman came to my home. He informed me that I would be signing a 12-month contract for my home security. It is very unfortunate for me that I failed to read the fine print because I unknowingly signed a five-year contract rather than a 12-month contract. When I called a year ago to get my rate reduced since I was paying almost $50 a month for a service that I really wasn't even using because I never actually armed my stupid security system in the first place they never informed me that I was still under contract and offered to meet the price of the company I had threatened to switch to if I continued with a 12 month contract.
We signed up with Monitronics home security 3 years ago. We recently had a baby and are having to cut down on our expenses. We decided to get rid of our home security system especially due to the rate increase. My husband called to cancel since we were told when we signed up we could cancel without penalty. It turns out we signed a 5 year contract and the only way to get out of it is to pay it off. So now we are stuck with an alarm system we can't afford for 2 more years! I never would have signed a 5 year contract under these conditions. I feel like the salesman who sold us the system was dishonest so now we are stuck with a new company for 2 more years. I would pay an early termination fee but paying off our contract to cancel service is ridiculous. I will not be recommending this company to anyone. I am very dissatisfied and feel like we were lied to.
I told the representative that I would not sign a 36 month contract and to cancel everything we had spoken about. After three or so phone calls the first day I was assured that if he couldn’t give me a month-to-month that everything would be canceled. I returned from vacation to find that I had been charged for something I did not want and spent the next three days trying to find someone to actually pick up a phone and help me. I will never be back as a customer. I loved LiveWatch but it’s not even close to the same now.
I had been with MONI for more than 10 years and was considering canceling when I moved. I called MONI to tell them I was moving and they offered to install equipment at my new home for $199 and continue the rate I had been paying with a new five-year contract. I agreed and it has been nothing but grief since! They have tried to bill me $600 for install repeatedly and on top of that my monthly monitoring rate increased. I didn't know at the time I had called that they had recently increased my rate. I had assumed the rate they quoted me was including tax. After numerous phone calls, I think I have the install price straightened out but am stuck with the increased rate for a 5 year contract. Plan on telling them where to go once my contract is up.
Originally contracted with Monitronics years ago. Was never notified that Brinks took over the company. Have been trying to cancel my services for several weeks. Every time I call the representative says they're sending an email that I should receive within a "week." Really? An email should arrive in seconds, not days. Needless to say, Brinks has not sent any email with instructions for terminating my account, despite repeat calls and verification of my email address.
When I think of home security, smoke and fire protection is essential. Seems the dirty little secret these days is that the new systems that are digitally based as opposed to the older analog systems cannot handle the signals from smoke and fire alarms, and thus are not included in the popular promotional packages.
We signed up when the company was Monitronics, the sensors are literally stuck on to the windows with cheap adhesive. I’ve had police officers tell me, "In the event of an actual emergency please just call us 'cause this takes too long," but still kept it until recently when it came to light that even after calling them to update with new bank account information they continued attempting to debit the old account while still pulling the payment from the new account. This resulted in bank fees to the tune of 700 dollars on an account that should have never been debited... When I spoke with their customer service rep all she would say was "well we refunded a 25 dollar fee." But then you guys continued to try to use the same account I told you was no longer valid 30 more times. Awful customer service, awful billing practices. Never again will I use Brinks and I'll make sure every military family I know, knows not to use them as well.
Total imbeciles. They installed another Security Camera. No issue, except Bozo put the WiFi signal connection near the garage door opener. Oh what fun... The garage door opens at all times day and night...and the camera can’t connect because the WiFi is communicating with the garage door. I paid the Garage Door Company thinking maybe there was an issue, yet nope it’s Stinky Brinks and they want to charge me to repair their issue. I never had an issue with Moni...nor ADT before. Brinks stinks! The cust Service Person, "You’re bothering me because you aren’t happy". Well Kim, I’m not but you shouldn’t have a job. Value... It doesn’t work. It malfunctions. It sucks, Installation... Lousy... Monitronics knew what they were doing. These bozos were lousy. Nice but didn’t know a thing.
My unit went out and I called on a Friday, they scheduled a contract company to come on the following Thursday. The contractor stated my unit is on backorder until sometime in September hopefully. I am by myself all night and husband works midnights, I informed brinks that I needed a system within a week preferably. They stated my sensors only go with my existing unit so they can’t do that. Stated I will have to wait. I am disturbed that the company’s sole purpose is to provide security, yet they are with letting me go a minimum of 3 weeks without a security system. I am very disappointed on how this was handled. I started with NorthStar then Moni bought them, then Brinks now own them. Sad to see these small companies that go above and beyond being bought out by huge companies that see its customers as a number and not a priority.
Warning to all considering LiveWatch
A year ago I thought LiveWatch would be a good system for a home I was having construction work done on. The no contract seemed appealing- or so I thought. Things happened with my job to keep me away from being there to set it up. I repeatedly got called with appointments being scheduled for me, and I repeatedly told them no... I'm not there, I don't know when I will be. I'm away from my home state sometimes months at a time. The calls and emails kept coming until I blew up and demanded they cease calling. I was told I "had" to have an appointment and they'd just push it out a couple of months. No that's not ok. Don't call me , I'll call you. Finally they did listen to me... that is- for a while.
Fast forward one year and boom back to the barrage of numerous calls and emails with appointments being set for me- guess what - NO I'm still not in the same state so there will be no set up. Because of the harassment of numerous emails and calls I want NOTHING to do with this company. I blocked their number and they still manage to get through.
I am at the point of having a lawyer send them a letter to cease and desist.
Nobody likes being badgered like that.
This company's tactics are horrible.
I was originally excited to get this system. From all fronts everything looked and sounded great! No contract so that made it even better. However, the equipment stop functioning properly after 1 week. Two calls to customer service, having to wait for a response via email, and still no fix. I ended up going with Blink, a much easier system to install with zero issues. Advice for the company: improve your customer service response time and please try to get it right thr first time for your future customers.
this is a disguisting company. they call me 100 times per day in spite of asking them not to call. stay away from this desperate for business, unprofessional company
I was sent incorrect equipment and they missed 2 activation calls to me. I am returning system. They promise you everything but outside of the sales line it is impossible to get hold of anyone.
I am in customer service and sales there for I am not one to leave a negative review as I know the true impact; yet here I am. There is a problem when you clearly tell a company what you would like from them and they repeatedly tell you that they can provide those services. In the case of livewatch they have a lot of problems. It is very simple and easy in business to just come out and admit when you do not have the services that your customer is asking for instead of trying to sell them on services they do not want. I personally spoke with multiple managers that work for this company and not one of them is able to provide the services they all spoke of. Apparently the largest growing county in the United States last year is not a metropolitan area in which they have any services within 75 miles. Do yourself, your friends, and your family a service and avoid doing business with them at all costs. There are too many other more reputable companies that can actually provide proper service. To think I left my house unprotected for an extended time to let them try and work out a solution. Yet I call a reputable company in I have a system installed within a couple days. I could go on and on why this company does not deserve an A+ rating but will leave it at this. When it comes down to it would you trust your families life or your own with a company that can not deliver on its promises??
I, ALONG WITH 99% OF THOSE LEAVING A REVIEW, HAVE HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH MONI/BRINKS. I was a VERY SATISFIED ADT customer, who was sold a MONI contract, by a very charismatic, deceiving 3rd party contractor. Unfortunately I fell for it, only because he was "local", and it was less expensive. I have been experiencing false alarms, the inability to connect with customer service and when I do get thru, have been put on hold for over an HOUR, (ESPECIALLY during the weekend and off hours) when those alarms went off, an INCREASED monthly payment which is higher than I contracted for, the inability to contact the third party contractor, which MONI stated I was "married to for a year", etc.
This is the first time I have had home security. I purchased this after a package was stolen from my front porch. The most important thing to me was the video camera. Well, they sold me an inside camera that they said would work through my front window to look at my porch. WRONG!!!! The reflection from the glass and the sunlight cause the camera to record everything BUT people coming up to the porch. After calling support and having them look at how the camera was seeing things, they said I needed an outside camera. So, I had to pay someone $150 to install the camera outside above the porch. The camera worked fine for a few days, then my internet service provider said I needed a new modem because the one I had was a known problem. When I switched it out, my camera no longer worked. I called support again, and they said I had to reset the camera. But I had to wait until someone could bring a ladder and reach the button to reset it. So, after it was reset (according to the directions on the site), the camera was not seen. I tried to call support while there was still someone here who could do whatever needed to be done to get this working. After being on hold forever, a recording said I had to leave a message. I got an email response TWO DAYS LATER!!! Of course, there was no one here to help at that time. I tried to log in to give it another try today, hoping that somehow the camera would be seen. I can't even log into the site! I opened the chat, but have been waiting for over 20 minutes for someone to chat with. I am going to cancel my account. Customer service is horrible!!! I've not had to rely on them for any emergencies, but I can't imagine they would be any better at that than they are with their customer service. Not worth the money or the trouble.
So all companies may fall short from time to time and I really did try to give Brinks a chance to make things right and in the end they lied soooo many time and get Money even though I canceled 3 days after activating. They sent me the wrong equipment and had to send an additional shipment and required me to send back the wrong equipment they sent. They said 15 minutes to self installed-I was on the phone for 3 hours-I am a very computer savvy. When the system was armed for the 1st time at 10pm-the motion detectors went off at 12am-scared the hell out of us. We look around the house saw nothing, laid in bed scared then they went off again at 2am. I turned off the panel-nothing there!

The thing I liked about Vivint was the fact that compared to most other companies they provide quality equipment. But then I heard about their customer service and I was forced to pass, but Intrution recommended me to a couple of fantastic companies that are consistently rated for their good customer service. I'm just deciding which one to go with.
View More ReviewsExcellent & Professional Service, Fantastic Representatives and Service Personnel. Dependable Products. Easy to Handle. Great Feedback when asking questions!
My family and I decided to go with Vivint and we could not be happier, the gentleman that came to the house was very nice and full of knowledge, I read every detail of the agreement and everything matched up to what I was told. They covered all the equipment and we could not feel any more secure having the doorbell camera and the app on the phone!
thanks,
anthony
I could not be happier with our vivint system. It gives my wife and good sense of security when I am not there.
Vivint has a great system, average service, and good people.
Make sure you work with a good technician. That will make all the difference in your experience.
Vivint is pretty good and I was skeptical. First off, I was approached by a door to door salesman. He was very professional and not pushy in the least. Best of all, he didn't lie to me. I found some bad reviews and brought them to his attention and he acknowledged them and let me know that they were usually people trying to get out of their contract early OR local technicians who are subcontracted. This is exactly what I had read, so I decided to go with the service.
I'm about a year into the service and I love it. The people monitoring have contacted me through the panel in a matter of minutes and I get text messages, emails and phone calls when the alarm goes off. It is impossible for me to miss strange occurrences.
The equipment has held up as well. Nothing has broken.
I integrated my NEST thermostat recently and it works great with their software.
Also, they update their software fairly often, which is a great plus.
Now on to the negatives. They are a little pricey, but you do get a lot of stuff and I find it worth the cost.
The reviews about the local contracted technicians is ABSOLUTELY true. You WILL have a rough time if you need someone to come to your home. It took 5 attempts to get someone to my home for a simple update to the firmware update (which turned into a wall panel replacement). I did not receive a visit, a phone call, a cancellation, NOTHING. It was the most frustrating experience I've ever had.
Like I said, I haven't had any equipment break, just the firmware issue, so hopefully you won't need an onsite technician.
We have been thrilled with the service and customer support. No issues whatsoever.
Great technology and wonderful customer service. Prices are a bit steep but the call time when emergency happens is very quick and the staff is exceptionally professional. No worse than others in business in terms of contracts.
We've had Vivint Security for a year. We had to contact Vivint once because the front door would not lock from app or keypad, the technician walked me through how to change the battery on the door lock quickly & professionally. We've had no issues with equipment, billing, or Service. They were quick to respond the one time our alarm was accidentally set off.
I personally like my alarm system. The ability to use it anywhere and set up custom actions for my convenience is great. The customer service reps that I dealt with were knowledge and helpful.
I replaced my old system with Vivint several months ago. The sales reps were great, informative, and professional. I called a couple of times with questions, and they were courteous and walked me through.Jan. wall mount went blank. Trued to fix over phone. Had to send out a tech. Also camers kept loosing wi fi. Tech said the installer used oldd systems wiring and caused it to lose connection. He ran new wire and fixed it, however. I was charged $49 for your error. Did not appreciate that. Overall satisfied.
Any issue I have had was quickly resolved. Our local support technician is vey prompt and professional.
I have had A Vivent security system for around 6 months. I have had a couple of minor equipment issues with an outdoor camera not connecting and a doorbell camera not working. Both cameras were replaced. I have found that the doorbell camera will stop working when the temperature falls below a certain point. Other than that I have no issues with the company. But their equipment is a little on the sub-par side.
We have been protected by Vivint for close to two years now. We are very happy thus far with the equipment and the customer support. We have, thank goodness never had to test their responsiveness.
Being able to lock/unlock a door remotely has been very useful on a number of occasions. I prefer to sleep in a much cooler room and find it a wonderful thing to be able to turn up the temperature before I crawl out of bed in the morning and be able to turn on the light in a dark room, all from the comfort from my bed.
Their apps are continually more responsive and easier to use. They are always adding more services that are easily added on and do not result in a higher monthly payment.
Vivint has been very responsive to any issues that have arisen. We are pleased with the system and the company.
Extremely pleased with Vivint. Have installed several monitoring systems including cameras. Local service reps are great. Only one instance that would be negative. Young man last summer came by and asked about our neighbors. We provided names of our neighbors. Next door neighbor had mentioned looking into alarm system. Young man kept coming even very late at night to talk to her. System was installed but we did not receive referral fee. Rep from UT called me regarding renewing at current price. Told him about neighbor; looked her up and gave me credit.
I think Vivint is offering great product with a great costumer service
The service is wonderful. I have been with this company since 2007 and I have been happy with them.
Monthly price is high, but customer service and the iphone app are both good.
I am enjoying Vivint's fine service and technical support. They seem to be a great company and are giving us excellent service.
I have experience positive interactions with Vivint, each person going out of their way to assist the two times I called. I was treated with respect and educated as I learned the system. The alarm system is easy to activate and disarm with very low maintenance. I do not need an office to go in an visit and Vivint has only been a quick phone call away. I am very satisfied with this business.
We have had vivint for about 4 months now and have had no complaints. They are on top of issues if one should arrive and respond very quickly. My dads house would have burned down if it wasn't for vivint's customer services quick actions.
Mostly satisfied with our Vivint services. We ran into a few problems, but were able to fix them ourselves via the Vivint YouTube channel and our knowledge of electronics & technolgy.
Installation was professional and neat. We had only one call-back. It was handled promptly and the technician was professional and knowledgeable. Very satisfied.
No complaints. Installation was prompt and courteous. Products work as expected. A couple of times when the alarm has tripped, was handled efficiently and politely.
We had some issues with a our Alarm System, but Vivint, Inc. has been very helpful with resolving them.
Excellent customer service, very prompt response and high quality hardware.
We got Vivint last year after lots of research on alarm companies. They have the best technology for home automation, and security.
Everything from locking doors, changing temperatures, checking motion sensors, answering doorbells and more can be done using the phone app which is exactly what we wanted.
The touchscreen panel is beautiful and easy to use. The Installer was quick and professional and cleaned up after. And the alarm service is the best I have seen compared to othes.
We have had Vivint Home Security now for a few months. We are very pleased with it. The company is quick to respond to anything out of the ordinary that shows up. The system is easy to use and understand. We are very happy with Vivint. Thank you.
I had received an offer for Vivant with my new purchase of the home. The installation was done by two very professional workers. So far I have felt good about my decision to purchase this security system. I pray it continues to work accurately and inexpensively for me at the current rate I am paying.
It's great to have the system set on my smart phone and this gives me more satisfaction. I plan on keeping them as long as the cost is in my budget.
Very happy with the service and pricing. I control many aspects of my home directly from my phone. The app works great and the equipment works great as well. So far, no major issues. Any minor issues were fixed and they made sure I was made whole for any conveniences.
Very satisfied with this company and their support and responsiveness.
I've had Vivint for approx. 5 months and is very satisfied and happy with my decision. I searched for a reputable, effective and efficient alarm system that was not common. I didn't want a common system as prof. burglars could probably break through the common systems.
The tech was skillful in assessing my specific needs and installing the best, custom alarm system based on my needs and lifestyle.
With the few false alarms, Vivint customer service was quick to determine if it was a false alarm or true alarm~nice to see and know. And, when my door bell malfunctioned, they were quick to dispatch for immediate repairs.
Coming from a customer service oriented industry, I've found Vivint to be a company that offers the highest customer service and peace of mind in protecting my loved ones and my home. I hope you'll consider Vivint in your alarm system needs.
I've had Vivint services since December 2015. I've been very impressed with installation, customer service, and the service itself. Vivint has been great to talk with over the phone, answer any questions I have, and resolve any problems I've had. Like any new technology, I've had a few problems, but all of them have been 100% resolved by Vivint.
I can only give them one complaint. I wish they called every time the alarm went off, even if it only went for for a few seconds. If I accidentally set my alarm off in the morning, and turn it off within seconds, they don't call. I wish they would. It would make me feel better to know that 100% of my alarms were responded to.
We have had this service for 6 months and we have been very happy.
Vivint gave me exactly the equipment promised at the rate they promised. My monthly fees and total costs were explained honestly and I have received outstanding service and feel completely secure when I am away from my home
I love the vivint system. It is the most user friendly system I have ever had. My only complaint is they put in a new phone app that does not work as well as the old one. On rainy days, the app won't work outside to open and close the garage door as it is supposed to. That is the time I most want it to work.
Finding the right home service plan in an ocean of online reviews can be a tedious task. This site's purpose is to provide a detailed account of available home service plans in the US. The scores here are based on aggregated reviews from other sources across the Internet and although we have tried only to find trustworthy reviews, the scores may be affected if outside sites do a poor job mitigating fake reviews.
The makers of Home Brands also make affiliate commissions from some of these home service companies to keep the site running. We do not allow that to affect our scoring. There is NO additional price markup for using this site or on links from this site and any commissions made by Home Brands come out of the home service company's profit margin.
