Home security question, ADT or Vivint?
Posted on 9/20/16 at 4:58 pm

We are planning on having a security system installed in our home, and would like the OT's opinion. I have done some online comparison of the 2, and ADT seems to have a higher rating, while Vivint seems pricey, but a little more "modern". Do any of you have either of these, and what are your thoughts? We are thinking of possibly 5 door/window sensors, and 2 cameras. Thanks in advance!

ADT contracts are like being in the Mob.
Once you are in, you try to get out but they just pull you back in.
They once sent me a bill and Demand Letter for a home I hadn't owned in five years. Screw them.

Use the one who sends aggressive men to your house and make you feel like they are going to rob and rape you if you don't sign up with them

Deadbolts and barred windows. And a gun. And a dog. And a rape whistle.

I noticed that each has a 3 year contract, with 75% buyout if you elect to cancel.

I've considered buying cameras, might have to look at that more.

So that would be Vivint?

A camera system is completely different than an alarm. They both work hand and hand to better protect your house, but with just a camera system all you will get is video of them breaking into your house and killing your family. An alarm system will at least alert the police.

Just looked at their website, do they cover BR only? I'm a long ways from BR

Must be a Vivint salesman amongst us to downvote my OP

I like the brand called dog.

Friend of mine had a Vivint bill due on Sept. 1. He got paid on Sept 2., and therefore paid it that 1 day late. The 1 day late transaction went through.
This is what they sent him in the mail for ONE day late

Why does he need security if he doesn't have any money?

Vivint is a scum bag Mormon company with zero ethics. We run their sales people out of our neighborhood twice a year. I had one of their guys hiding behind a pillar on our pavilion the other day to avoid me seeing him.
i had 130 home owners message their regional manager individually with threats of trespassing charges if one of their people set foot in our subdivision again.
frick Vivint.

For tv's, computers, and sound equipment he probably owes bestbuy a few hundred a month for.
