Schenectady residents can improve the intelligence of their homes by upgrading to a Vivint system

Smart devices are supposed to make modern life easier, but when you have three or more different smart home toys that are all controlled through different apps, you really just have one giant headache on your hands. Switch to the service that makes life easier and install a Vivint system in your home today to centralize control over all your smart home conveniences and safety features. The basis of any good smart home system is centralized control. If you have to log in to various accounts on different apps just to control your home's alarm system and convenient smart devices, that's not really a 'smart' system. Vivint Playback includes an intelligence layer called Vivint Smart Hub that analyzes the communication signals of smart home devices, and uses them to self-adjust system settings without extra input from the user. In other words, Vivint Smart Hub gives your home the ability to automatically respond to ambient environmental changes. Vivint Playback gives you complete control in case you need to override automated settings. In fact, there are two ways to control your system:

  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 Mobile - The top-rated smart home app on The App Store that gives you access to your Vivint Smart Hub dashboard through your smartphone or tablet.

The Vivint Smart Hub will gradually begin to adjust your wireless thermostat to set your home at your preferred temperature while you're at home and conserve energy while you're away. What intelligence features (not just programmability features) can make a difference in your home?

  • Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro: The world's smartest doorbell camera lets you see, hear, and speak to people at your door, even if you're not there.

Fast, Professional and Caring Service

I recently experienced an incident that left me feeling unsafe in my own surroundings, and it made finding reliable home security a top priority. I initially reached out to another provider—a very well-known household name—but became extremely frustrated with their customer service. I had to make multiple calls just to address the same issue, which was incredibly disappointing. That’s when I decided to reach out to Vivint, and I honestly can’t say enough positive things about my experience from start to finish. From Carlos, my sales representative, to Tristan, the installer, everyone was understanding, compassionate, and genuinely focused on helping me feel secure. They understood the urgency of my situation and worked to escalate the installation. I started the process on a Tuesday, and by Thursday, my system was fully installed. I was traveling that weekend and wanted the peace of mind of knowing my home was secure while I was away, and Vivint made that happen. I truly appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness, and care that Carlos and Tristan showed throughout the entire process. I have NO hesitation whatsoever in recommending Vivint to anyone looking for a home security system. They made a stressful situation so much easier, and I’m very grateful for their help!

My customer service call with Nahomi Campos lasted over 2 hours. Her expertise, knowledge and patience were extraordinary. Walked me through the troubleshooting step by step from beginning to end. Wound up needing new equipment. She setup shipping and return. I also ordered the Space Monkey and signed up for the monthly maintenance contract. Absolutely a 5-star experience. Thank you.

We didn't get adequate time from the installation technician to learn how to navigate the system, but a few days later I happened to see our sales person, Pete, walking down the street and he went through it with us and got everything all set as far as I can tell so far, so kudos to Pete!
