Vivint home security

The most capable smart-home integration of the major providers

Overview

What Vivint actually is

Vivint is the provider to look at if you want the security system and the smart home to be the same system. The camera hardware and the app are the best of the national names. The trade-off is the highest upfront equipment cost here, usually financed across a long term.

What comes in a standard system

  • Smart Hub touchscreen panel
  • Door and window sensors
  • Motion detector
  • Keypad
  • Doorbell, indoor and outdoor cameras
  • Smart locks, thermostat and garage control

Where it does well

  • Best camera hardware and app of the national providers
  • Genuine smart-home integration — locks, thermostat, garage and lighting in one place
  • Professional installation designed around your floor plan
  • Equipment can be paid upfront or spread across the agreement term

What to watch for

  • Highest upfront equipment cost in this comparison
  • Contract length is driven by financing and commonly runs 42 to 60 months
  • Cancelling early means settling the remaining equipment balance
  • Not available in every state

Best for: Smart-home households who want one integrated system, premium cameras, and are planning to stay in the property for the long term.

Probably not for: Anyone looking for the cheapest route to basic monitored protection, or anyone who may move within a few years.

About this page

TryAlarms is an independent comparison and marketing service. we are not Vivint, and this site is not operated by Vivint. Vivint is a trademark of Vivint LLC, used here nominatively for identification and comparison.

The figures above are Vivint's published starting prices for entry-tier configurations and were last verified on 2 October 2026. They are not a quote. Pricing varies by address, equipment selection, promotions and credit approval, and changes without notice. Confirm everything directly before you purchase.

When you call the number on this page you reach TryAlarms, and we connect you with a specialist who can arrange a professionally installed system through one of our partner providers. Providers compensate us for qualified referrals. That fee is paid from their acquisition budget and does not change your price.

Questions

Common Vivint questions

Can I order Vivint by phone?

Yes. A specialist takes the whole order on the call, including which equipment goes where, and books the installation. No form, no callback queue.

Does Vivint do pro installation near me?

Vivint systems are professionally installed as standard, but Vivint is not available in every state. The specialist checks your address on the call before quoting anything.

Are there new customer deals, specials or package offers?

There usually are, and they move constantly. Rather than print a figure that expires, ask what package pricing is live for your ZIP code on the day you call.

Does Vivint cover home automation for the whole house?

That is the strongest reason to pick it. The same panel runs smart locks, thermostat, garage control and lighting alongside the alarm — one app for the house instead of four.

Is there a Vivint sales consultation before I buy?

Yes. The specialist walks through your floor plan with you and prices the exact configuration before anything is agreed. You are not obliged to buy at the end of it.

Is the Vivint alarm monitored around the clock?

Yes, professionally monitored 24/7 with cellular backup. Self-monitoring is not offered.

Can Vivint set up smart locks, a door lock or Smart Drive on the same visit?

Yes — door locks, garage control and the Smart Drive local video storage are fitted alongside the alarm, and the setup is included in the professional installation.

Is Vivint a good fit for high-end or fully automated residential security?

It is the strongest of the three on automation. If you want the house genuinely automated — lights, locks, thermostat and cameras reacting together — Vivint is usually the shortlist. Orders and the configuration are handled by a sales specialist on the call.
