Had read all the reviews and it is very straight forward! They give me the equipment at no cost..... They charge me to activate it with the call center/local authorities. I sign an agreement to keep their service for 5 years at the rate I desire based on my package choice. I chose the Full Home Package. They next day had a professional show up (Derek) and complete my system within a few hours. Very very simple to use and very very effective, the only thing i have a complaint on is, they need more... like an aftermarket site you can purchase more "fun stuff" to be added. They install hundreds to thousands of these a day depending on the time of year and they design and develop their own equipment and do their own monitoring, so they are saving a ton of money by skipping the middle men. If you think about it thats pretty amazing considering they started in 1999 in a trailer selling pest control and did 1000 accounts now install more than 100,000 accounts a year, and have over 1,000,000 customers nation wide!
As far as the monitoring which is truly the most important part because the sooner the right authorities know about what is really going on they can get a quicker response, wether you have a fire, break-in, or medical emergency they even give cameras so you can see what is happening right on your phone and they are perfect for home and office use. Vivint also uses cellular technology in the Sky Control (thats their touchscreen keypad) i didn't need a phone line in the home which is good cause I don't have a one but they can also use the speaker that is built on the keypad to listen/talk into the house so they can better determine the incident! My favorite part though is using my iPhone to control my smart home! I no longer need to worry if my door is locked, or if my garage door is shut, or if my furnace has gone out, if someone breaks in, if i have a fire. So many things that this provides and all you gotta do is commit to their price, which I did the math and they are really giving everyone a very good deal because if you add up all the equipment (obviously its high retail prices, and comes fully warrantied) Which my system was close to $3000.00 minus the value of the contract $4199.4 thats $1200 for monitoring divided by 60 months comes out to $20/ month and the thermostat alone will probably save me at least that in energy cost. I know the industry very well and they are definitely the best bang for your buck company! Now i'm just excited for them to bring solar and internet to my neighborhood! *cheers* Here's to a Smart Simple Safe Living!
