Central monitoring is a scam, it's super slow and not reliable. One time one of my sensors failed with Vivint and the alarm sounded for 30 mins, I got a first call 8 mins later after the alarm was triggered which is 7 mins late, in that time a lot can happen! Finally cops showed up at my door almost an hour after the alarm was triggered by then if that had been a real burglary, me and my family would have been long gone. On another occasion my wife used the "silent alarm" code by mistake which triggers a silent alarm and literally nobody showed up nor call me to my phone or panel and I only learned about this because the next month I got charged with a 70$ bill for a "false silent alarm that triggered law enforcement response" which I had to fight. That taught me 2 things. 1 Get an alarm system that trigger if someone breaks in just to alert you of an intruder, and 2 get myself guns and training for self-defense and home protection.
Vivint monthly charge of $30 does not include cameras. If you want cameras the monthly charge goes up to $50. While Simplisafe's $30/month includes up to 10 cameras. $30 vs $50/month is pretty significant that this video just glossed right over.
Yes, she had a legitimate monitored system without cameras. Now she has an unmonitored system and pays more each month in addition to the initial equipment expense. Vivint sells cheap electronics that they control the function of via a subscription service and is in no way a security firm.

The music is too loud to focus on the great review you’re doing. 😢

That's not true because vivint is charging monitoring fee of $50.28.
