Great overall service!
The salesmen were great! Straight to the point and very well spoken and knowledgeable. App is responsive and easy to use, and the cameras are high fidelity despite being a wide viewing angle.

Holden
Holden, who stopped in to discuss the security system was a polite, knowledgeable, enjoyable young man to work with and get signed up. He is definitely a 5 Star employee you have there. Soon after Holden left Ezekial arrived to do the installation. He was much more subdued than Holden, not much interaction, although polite. I pass that off to being after 6:00 on a Friday. 4 Star. Since the system is new to us, cannot necessarily comment further on it; although, it certainly notifies us each time someone is in the driveway.

What are the different types of home automation systems?
Generally speaking, home automation systems are either wired or wireless. Here’s a quick look at each of these options.
- Wired: A wired home automation system means devices such as cameras and sensors are connected directly to and through your home’s electrical wiring. While wired systems are hard to hack, they are also very hard to install and can’t be controlled remotely.
- Wireless: A wireless home automation system uses Wi-Fi to connect the components of the system. A wireless system can be accessed and controlled remotely and is simpler to install and rearrange.
Vivint takes the guesswork out of home automation by offering customizable home automation packages and professional installation to ensure your home automation products are installed correctly and work seamlessly together.
What smart home devices can be automated?
The home automation market continues to grow meaning more devices in your home can be automated. More automated devices = more convenience. For example, smart door locks, smart thermostats, and smart lighting are all examples of smart home devices that can be automated. Imagine not only being able to control these devices from your phone but also being able to automate them. Lights that turn off automatically when you head to work, doors that lock when the garage door closes, or temperature that adjust perfectly when you’re headed home from work. And that’s just the beginning. Read here for a deeper dive into smart home devices that can be automated.
How do I get started with home automation?
Getting started with home automation is easier than you think. First, think about what products and processes in your home you would like to automate. The number of smart home devices on the market continues to grow giving homeowners numerous possibilities. Next, consider your budget. The cost of a home automation system varies by provider, services, and products. Be sure to do your research to ensure the needs of your home are met and read here for more information on getting started with home automation.

How much does home automation cost?
Cost is an important factor for anyone considering home automation. Generally speaking, the cost of home automation depends on the provider, the type of system, and the number of devices you want to automate.

Vivint is committed to making home automation accessible and affordable through innovative state-of-the-art products, customizable packages, and flexible financing.

Here at Vivint, we professionally install your system to ensure it’s secure, working properly, and you’re comfortable using it.
