Vivint does use cloud storage for their security camera footage (vs DVR like most other systems). Very easy to go back and locate time and footage of when something happens. I’ve already used this several times for when sketchballs are walking past my place and when an actual cop chase came to a halt in front of my home!

Vivint’s new MMR is going to be much higher now that they are leasing the equipment and shortening the agreement length. Just call both and see who will give you the best setup! But avoid buying Vivint from a door to door rep or you will get an installer who’s most likely new and only works 4 months of the year.

Good point Brandon. Always good to cipher the company and service from the sales rep. The two are not always the same; in fact rarely.

What’s going to happen when one day you call into ADT and have and ADT rep give you a hard time? Switch services again? Gotta remember no matter the company you will most likely run into someone or have to talk someone who will be rude or not “helpful”. Some people just have bad days. Also some of these people probably are getting yelled at all day and just might give in at the end of the day and all of the sudden may not be that happy customer service rep

In regards to “BEING LOCKED IN” this statement which I currently am questioning with Vivint, sort of brings into question as to what exactly is locked in. I think that they may be just covering their rears with this and I understand that they as well as others probably do pretty much the same, but question now is, if they do have an increase, I would think that it would be AFTER the term but this statement says at any time and then the very next sentence says after the term, so how can it be both ways. statement below:
2.2 INCREASE IN MONTHLY SERVICES FEE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT VIVINT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO INCREASE THE MONTHLY SERVICES FEE TO REFLECT ANY TAXES, LICENSES, PERMITS, COSTS, FEES OR CHARGES WHICH MAY BE CHARGED TO VIVINT BY ANY UTILITY OR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY RELATING TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM OR SERVICES, AND YOU AGREE TO PAY THE SAME. VIVINT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO INCREASE THE MONTHLY SERVICE FEE AFTER THE INITIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL ON THIRTY (30) DAYS WRITTEN NOTICE.

Thanks BobbieJo., they did recently change all their pricing around. Glad to have you on top of this and for the insight.

Agreed, Vivint works anywhere but it is most common in the bigger homes and mansions compared to an ADT system.

you do not need a big house or mansion with Vivint. The flex plans make it very easy to get everything you want.
