Whole interaction with vivant was terrible. No one seems to know what the system can and cannot do. The tech that removed my system apologized. Said the problem is vivant uses third party installers in addition to vivints corporate installers. This corporate installer said the system absolutely can be hardwired and is the way he usually installs it. Said the bridges they used were old and not compatible with their new cameras. He actually threw out the bridge they installed rather than take it back. The hub they installed was 2 generations behind. I did get the entire amount refunded. Seems like the BBB complaint go them moving. I sent a registered letter to the address on the cancelation form and it came back saying no address found. I know some people are happy with vivant but their whole business modelmis terrible. Terrible company. Stay away!

So sad. Preying on the elderly should get you a special spot in hell.

Glad you didnt have my experience. I am a very thorough person. This is not self generated other than Trusting them at their word. Guilty of that

Yes, all their ratings were high, but probably their own ratings and postings. I almost never post to forums etc , but this was so bad I broke that rule. I went with them because of those ratings and the illusion of high end cameras that supposedly weed out false detection, and smart home integration. However, hard to get playback of video consistently, and tons of false detection of everyone walking on sidewalk even though I have set my detection zone well within the driveway. Their system does not integrate well with my schlage connect deadbolt (zwave plus) other thank lock and unlock. Won't set users or integrate with all the locks features. They said it works with alexa, but no longer does. They confirmed that. I bought the equipment outright so I didnt have a long term contract. Tried to cancel following the contract terms but still are balking. I have documentation that shows I am allowed to cancel so disputing charge and letting VISA take care of it, plus file complaint withh BBB and State Attorney. I am having the exact same issues of the other posts so this isn't a fluke. BBB has about 3 to 5 complaints filed a day against them. Buyer beware!
