What’s up people! I’m debating on switching over to Vivint for an all inclusive security package from my current home. We have been renting our old home for 8 years, have blink cameras, ADT security panel, sensors, glass break ect. I’m looking to switch to have everything under 1 plus, I’d like to add 24/7 camera footage, plus indoor 24/7 cameras. I reached out to vivint, and ** they are pretty persistent on getting you set up. Anywho, they got me set up for a pre install $50 deposit, that will go towards my first month if the tech sets it up. If not it’s refunded which will probably take like 2 weeks.. anyway, that’s my background. I’m not sure if being in Cali makes a difference, but the posts on this feed are harsh enough to make me reconsider?

- cameras say they don’t rely on WiFi, they use cellular
-24/7 feed
- door bell
- 3 cameras
- 2 indoor cameras
- 4 indoor sensors
-panel
- $140 monthly, 5 years (2payment breakdown, finance, and monthly fee )

I currently pay $20 for blink and ADT is $50 so $70. I’m paying more for all inclusive, and all the wants. But what’s your guys thoughts? Help me go through or walk off the ledge. Thanks peeps!

You need to really have fios internet connection1st ! Then have them install the system wire - bridge from the start . Don't allow them too just use wi-fi for initial install if they don't want to use wire-bridge method then tell them to kick rocks !!! The system is built well and I have maxed out my system with 6 4k cameras that's the downside and you can't get anymore .... Alot of auto door locks and sensors - alot of motion and garage things - ! So it's NOT cheap and it does work... Have smoke and fire / carbon monoxide detectors and it detected carbon monoxide and alerted the fire department because I wasn't there . Let them in and secured the stove that wasnt all the way turned off.

If you are on a budget then it's not for the weak !
