Rooted in a history of home security, Vivint has gone on to lead an explosion in the smart home category comparable to the computer revolution of the 1980s, or the smartphone boom of the 2000s. At Vivint, we’re moving forward and building upward, and we’re doing it better and faster than anyone else.
