Willie Loman sales tactics. If you ever have a question of customer service, you will speak to someone with a thick accent in an iron lung with others screaming in the background. Then they will “accidentally” disconnect you after waiting forever on hold. This is by the way the “PRIORITY SERVICE” for new customers. Also, this TH-cam account is HILARIOUS.
Most of people don’t know Willy Loman anymore lol. And who are you referring to with your overview of customer service? A particular company within this video or are you just rambling about the industry as a whole because that would hardly be helpful. People come to this video to know what each company has to offer and if you could specifically add to that knowledge it would be nice.
Depends where you live maybe? 💁🏻♀️ We had Vivint after having API first but then got talked into by a coworker to try CPI. That was the worst decision ever made! Now running back to Vivint! 😅 (We live in the Triad of NC.)
I've had Vivint for about 7 years, and I love it! I do recommend them to anyone. However a little on the "Pricey" side but it has all the bells and whistles.I do recommend buying your equipment upfront.
@@meanmugg6128 I do not know how much per year it cost, Because i bought all of my equipment the same day for about $2000 (Two Thousand) and did not finance with Vivint, At the time I bought mine from "Best Buy" which was selling Vivint Equipment for a fixed price as opposed to ordering thru Vivint which they go up and down with there prices even today. If you try to buy out right today, They inflate there prices, So that you have to finance thru them at much higher prices with interest and committed to a contract.
@@meanmugg6128 found this off Google, not sure the validity of it though: "Vivint security pricing and packages start at $29.99 per month for Smart Security. The Smart Home package (including smart home integration) is $39.99 per month, and Smart Home Video (including video monitoring) is $44.99 per month."
How reliable are the motion detectives in the simply safe system most in detectors seem to to be the the soft spot in a lot of home security systems that's where you get a lot of false alarms so how so how good are the motion detectives that eliminating false alarms okay thanks
Vivint is only bad if you have bad wifi. My system after it’s installed sucked, but then I called my internet provider and upgraded to their highest speed and now it works perfectly. I’ve had ADT and Ring before and Vivint has the best equipment, Utility, and app. Customer service isn’t the greatest though. But as long as you have great wifi you won’t need much customer support as resetting the panel basically fixes most issues you might have.
I have the Ring Pro Hub with backup WiFi over cellular since it was first released. Ring as been VERY reliable for me with only ONE false alarm in four years. Ring's motion sensors when mounted 7' high are VERY good for pets 30Lb or less (in my usage). Unlimited cameras WITH cloud storage, 24/7 monitoring for $200 a year (Paid upfront). Ring as FULL integration with Alexa, had smoke/CO2, water leak sensors, window/door, and lights, plugs and switches that work GREAT with Alexa routines. ALL my window/door and motion sensors are gen 1 and are still showing FULL after four years! Fast response time on par/better than ADT. I could not be more happy. Only have 300Mb internet service BUT, did have to buy a Ring Chime Pro for my Ring 3+ doorbell cam to function properly with NO missed events as I have a brick house and bought a solar panel for my doorbell cam and NEVER have to worry about recharging either. YES, it's only 1080P quality but have had MANY conversations with solicitors while at work with NO issues.
Exactly! I cancelled the monthly bullshit and they kept racking it up, then sent it to collections! I have emails proving I told them this many times lmao. You pay all that money for absolutely nothing aswell. My cousin opened a door at 2am and all that happened was a woman came on the panel and started having a conversation with herself. Then she hung up. Absolute waste of money.
Worst customer service, but unfortunately I haven’t found a system with quicker panel response time or a better quality outdoor camera. This damn camera is just so clear, the night vision is the best, and the talk through the app is the loudest. I wish this wasn’t the case because otherwise I would have a different provider.
Ring Alarm motion sensors when mounted 7' high works NO problem with pets and worked great for my 17lb cat that had free rein of the home that was ALWAYS jumping on the backs of my couches that never triggered the alarm. I cannot talk about large dogs but I'm sure works the same I believe up to 75lbs but DON'T quote me on that...
@@BelleFleurs1he probably had weak wifi connection or thick walls blocking the connection from the panel to the outdoor cameras. Or a mix of both. If you have great wifi speeds the vivint system is perfect. And if you have a big house or thick walls you just need wifi extenders. I’ve had ADT and Northstar and Vivint is my favorite. It’s just a bit expensive. But when my alarm goes off they talk through the panel within 20 seconds, they are crazy fast.
Was going to try the "Ring," then i remembered that girl climbing out of the well. That spooked me right into the waiting 🤲's, of Vivint! 😂 Kinda feel more secure. Woo! 😂
Ring Alarm Pro has backup WiFi over cellular for ALL the devices of your choosing, and can purchase up to 4 battery backup packs for further connection times in a blackout or internet outage and you still have power. As of today, NO other system offers these options. I have ONE additional battery pack with a UPS for a couple of cameras and get about 12-16hrs of internet backup with NO power plus the hub itself will last 24hrs on it's own to just keep the alarm components going and still function.
LOL! This HAS to a Vivant "sponsored" video because NOT only are they WAY overpriced they offer NOTHING more that other systems offer at a FRACTION of the price with 24/7 monitoring. Vivant also has "tech" only install options vs. DIY systems with NO contracts or the expense! In the LONG-RUN Vivant has NOTHING to offer over other systems at a MUCH lesser price point with 24/7 monitoring. If you do you're research online Vivant is a WASTE overall. There are MUCH better options that provide the SAME amount of protection for WAY less monthly prices. The "sales" guys will SUCK you into their MAXIMUM plans and "contracts" which grant you NOTHING in the long run.
@@TheDamHamburger Ring Alarm Pro with backup WiFi FULL 24/7 monitoring $200 a year. Full DIY and reliable and response times on par or better than ADT. Recently had a 40+hr internet outage but thanks to my Ring Pro hub my devices stayed connected and was still able to watch my TH-cam TV on my Fire Cube 3rd gen all via. the cellular backup. I have window/door, motion, smoke with CO2, and water sensors. Also, a Smart deadbolt with 5 cameras all through the Ring app. I test my system every other month. The backup cellular WiFi the Pro hub has really paid for itself as my ISP goes down regularly and was the WHOLE reason for getting the Pro hub. NO other system offers backup WiFi over cellular for ALL devices of your choosing through the eero app. Previously had ADT but started charging $55 a MONTH ($660 a year) with NO cameras and an outdated system so, I dumped them like a BAD habit when my CONTRACT expired! Ring as many others has NO contracts and when registered I get a discount with my AAA Home insurance policy. It's really a no-brainer!
@@TheDamHamburger I looked very hard into SimplySafe and others but ended up going with Ring for almost 5yrs now. A few years back I upgraded my hub to the Ring Pro hub and has features NO other alarm has like it's backup WiFi over cellular for ANY devices on your network and NOT just Ring products which has saved my ass several times already has I've long internet outages for days but, all the devices of my choosing stayed connected and functioned over the backup cellular. Ring has been rock-solid for me with only ONE false alarm while I was at work where Ring called me quickly and was able to view my cameras while on call to determine it was a false alarm. So I have SEVEN Ring cameras, 4 door sensors, 2 motion sensors, A Ring Chime Pro extender for my doorbell cam, 2 water leak/freeze sensors, 1 Ring outdoor siren (No longer sold), and a few keypads, and 2 CO2/smoke alarms. Relatively inexpensive compared to most with 24/7 Full monitoring for $200 a year (When paid upfront) OR $20 a month WITH free cloud storage for cameras. NO contracts, and offers a discount on my Home insurance policy. Alarm response times are anywhere from 15-25 seconds which is on-par with ADT which I had previous but were too expensive at $55+ a month with NO cameras and 2YEAR contracts! Also integrates perfect with Alexa. Do your own research but for the price and features Ring is HARD to beat! SimplySafe comes in 2nd but costs MORE with less features and products. Read mixed reviews on Cove and Abode. Vivant is also mixed reviews mostly negative for thier monthly prices and the fact that it has to be professionally installed at EXTRA cost as well as adding to the system. As for me on a budget I look for bang-for-your-buck! Search Google and TH-cam reviews of ALL the systems out there and choose the one that right for you and your family!!! Stay safe!
@@TheDamHamburger ; ADT sucks A$$! for the prices they charge! Just my opinion but Ring Alarm with FULL 24/7 coverage costs only $200 USA dollars per year and has VERY good response times, has cloud storage camera options, AND integrates with ALEXA products to run Routines, and a bunch of things. I HAD ADT and they charge $55+ a month and is rather LACKING, which is why I dumped them when my CONTRACT expired! Ring and many others have NO contracts BUT, if you pay the $200 USA upfront, you are covered and have had Ring for over 4yrs now and am VERY satisfied. This may NOT be the setup for you but, do your homework and monthly prices and features offered to make YOUR final decision. There are PLENTY of systems out there but I will NEVER recommend Vivant! Too many "hidden" costs and "tech" people to come out to your home to install a simple door sensor at $150 per pop!
I have had vivint for a while and had to finance their expensive “ not too high tech” equipment which is ONLY compatible with their system just for the equipment to be outdated and have to purchase a new panel and camera. I feel like if I was going to invest on security equipment I would of spent my money in high quality equipment so it can last longer rather than be forced to get their crap.
QUESTION: regarding VIVINT....Do I need to hire VIVINT to monitor my system? or can a SIM CARD be installed on the alarm system so it call me when a break occurs? I dont want intermediates on my alerts, want to system to call me direct. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
They require you to pay them for monitoring, they call you first before calling the police if you’d like. But if you don’t answer the phone they’ll send the police to be safe.
Vivant is VERY expensive AND requires a TECH person to come out to install or even add to the system at a MIN charge of $175 a pop! I can't recommend this system and have read MANY negative reviews.
Simpli Safe is the worst. Cost me so much money. Recharging the cameras is so difficult and time consuming. Breaks down all the down in the middle of the night and there is no one to help you at night time. I have lost so many nights of sleep. I am shopping for a new one now. My system went offline at 2 am last night. Not losing another night of sleep. I live on a main road near a busy town. I need something reliable!!!!
I have my SimpliSafe and it has protected me from one break in. Gives me a little peace of mind.
What is your monthly cost? How many cameras?
