Issue with the garage door

Issue with the garage door

Still regret

It’s been a month & still don’t like new system and app. Cannot believe our previous 10+ yr old system was better than this Vivint system in detecting activity around our home. I want to control what motion detections I need, not Ai! When trying to playback, it always freezes & have to reboot. Very tedious trying to scroll looking for activity Blinks caught but Vivint didn’t because Ai has determined user only needs to see people and cars. Smart Actions? Ha, useless since we cannot create any for motion detections on any of our expensive Vivint cameras.

Horrible company

Horrible company and I would not recommend to anyone. They are money hungry and have horrible customer service.

App Notification Delays

System is goo but app notifications delay

App

What is the purpose of the app and paying for monitoring if the payback feature doesn't work properly? When I try rewinding to see past footage, it does not play and stays on the what ever I was previously viewing. This is ridiculous. Not to mention, the zoom feature used to go up to 4 now it only goes up to 2 and it looks horrible. Please fix this asap! I pay money to be able to utilize all of the features available to me on the app! But they are useless if they don't work properly or don't work at all!
