Iowa City homeowners enjoy convenience and savings, with the security of Vivint

Your home is your castle, but you can't always be there to watch over it. Vivint technology and security systems make it easier than ever before to not only provide you with a sense of safety, but also help control the costs of homeownership. Any smart home provider can promise you energy savings, peace of mind, and the convenience of mobile connectivity, but only Vivint security systems offer you all of these benefits in a really amazing product that is superior to the cheap plastic stuff you'll get from other companies. There's a reason Vivint is the smart home provider for over 1,000,000 residents throughout North America, including Iowa City, Iowa. While many homes feature appliances and devices that can be programmed independently from one another, a true smart home offers a level of intelligence that surpasses basic programmability. Vivint Playback DVR, our proprietary platform, brings all of your smart home components together into an interconnected ecosystem, then puts the control in your hands. Vivint Playback DVR can be accessed through two different channels:

  1. Vivint Smart Hub - A WiFi, cellular, Z-Wave, and 345 MHz touchscreen panel that mounts inside your home, bundles your devices into one network, and connects directly to 24/7 monitoring services.
  2. Vivint app - A top-rated app on The App Store that puts the same Vivint Smart Hub dashboard on your smartphone or tablet.

With the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro and Smart Locks you can answer the door, let visitors in, and lock up when they leave—from anywhere.

Vivint redefines the comfort and convenience of smart home living

Iowa City, Iowa, is known for its cold winters, and if you're like most homeowners, you're always on the lookout for easy ways to bring down your heating bills during the year's coldest months. With temperatures as low as -25 degrees, keeping your home at a comfortable temperature drives your energy bills up. One idea to combat this is to turn your heat down while your home is unoccupied, but that results in a frigid home when you return. We have a better idea; the Vivint Smart Thermostat and Nest Learning Thermostats. These smart thermostats use geo-locating technology and the Vivint Smart Hub, a feature of Vivint Playback DVR, to learn the rhythm of your household. After a brief learning period, your smart thermostat will proactively adjust to a more efficient setting when you're at work or out of town. As you drive closer to home, your thermostat brings your home back to your preferred setting. You get to enjoy energy savings without sacrificing your comfort or changing a single habit. We also offer a range of home automation products that include:

  • The Vivint Indoor Camera, a simple countertop video camera that lets you check in on pets, children and suspected activity.
  • The Smart Garage Door Controller, which allows you to remotely open and close your garage door; never spend another work day or vacation wondering if your home's security is compromised by an open garage.
  • Vivint app, which gives you complete mobile access to your home controls.

Affordable smart home system in Iowa City, Iowa

For years, smart homes have been fodder for science fiction and fantasy stories. Now, most people see them as the new 'in thing' and wouldn't dream of building a new home without integrating this fantastic new technology into its construction. The fact is, you don't need to leave a home that you have already invested in, just to enjoy of all the benefits that a smart home can offer.

  • We provide a one-on-one consultation to create a system for your specific home.
  • Our Smart Home Pros are available for professional installation and setup of your equipment.
  • After your equipment is up and running, you will have the support of our Smart Home Specialists every day, as well as the 24/7 support of our monitoring team.
  • There's no activation fee, and new customers can finance a complete, top-of-the-line package of smart home components and make no-interest payments over the life of the service contract, just like a smartphone.

Video quality is excellent

Video quality is excellent! Sound seems to be quiet when I attempt to talk through the camera. It also shows me as logged in as my wife and can’t seem to change that (I’m sure it’s operator error).

Technician took much longer than we were told. He plugged things in near the router and left a spaghetti of wire under the desk. Overall a good experience.

don’t let the sales people fool you like they did me

The products are great. It’s the sales reps that aren’t very good. They lied to get a sale and that pissed me off. And the people that came out to install the equipment didn’t really teach me how to run anything. So thank God for somebody that actually works for vivant came out and show me how to use everything.

A Job Well Done

Technician showed up on time, did an assessment and made suggestions and did the installation. He explained thins thoroughly showing me how to arm and disarm the system. I am sleeping much better knowing my house is protected. The system is easy to use. It was more than I wanted to spend but what price do you put on peace of mind,

The technician was awesome and thorough. My only beef and it's a pretty big one is why we were not offered your newest camera. I was under the impression we were getting the newest camera. I just got an email today that it's available and I would have had that those installed and now I would have to pay more to upgrade.

Smooth and Professional Sale and Install

Both the sales person, Rich Nichols, and the installer, Josh, were highly professional, prioritized customer satisfaction, and had deep expertise in Vivent's technology. Rich's follow-up was much appreciated: he provided me some great tips on using the system and the app.
