Mainly the app is the issue, but that is a big issue. The live feed playback sucks and barely works and doesn't load half the time. Im at the point where I want to leave because im getting charged for services I cant use properly. I also sometimes get notifications late.

Description
Vivint uses a phone-friendly interface for household organization and home-related tasks. Users managing everyday activities around the home may appreciate having the core activity provided without returning to a desktop browser. Its description in the provided store data gives a clearer picture of the intended interaction, so the points below stay close to that record. Image capture appears among the promoted functions and will normally require camera permission. A brief trial of the central function should reveal whether the interface suits the user’s expectations. Vivint earns its place on a hardware when household organization and home-related tasks remains convenient enough to use more than once. That makes it the sort of app people can try in a real situation before deciding whether it deserves a permanent place on their hardware.

Functions

- Review the provided choices and select the option that relates to household organization and home-related tasks.
- Use the in-app camera for a test photo first and make sure where the file is stored.

How to Use
- Step 1: Enter the recorded Google Play listing for Vivint on the Android hardware where it will be installed.
- Step 2: Double-check that the software name and icon match Vivint. Because the developer is not recorded in the current data, do not guess it; use the listing itself to verify who publishes the software. Also read the operating-system requirement and make sure the hardware is supported.
- Step 3: Read the store details that is actually present, including price and privacy details, and leave every unsupported point launch.
- Step 4: Tap the store’s Install or Get control and wait until the verified store finishes downloading and installing Vivint.
- Step 5: Enter Vivint from the hardware’s app list or home screen. Take in the first screen before creating an account or entering details that identifies you.
- Step 6: Review each permission as it appears. Grant it only when the action on screen has a clear need for that access.
- Step 7: Start with one tool described in the store listing and follow the labels presented inside the software. Complete a small test before using important files, payments, or private data.
- Step 8: Return to the same verified store for updates. Review any new permission request before accepting it, especially after a major update.

it NEVER! works when it should. doesn't record, always roaming. and can't get anyone out to fix it.
the app is SLOW. SUPER SLOW. THE LIVE CAMERA TAKE 20+ SECONDS TO COME UP AND THE FLOOD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY TURN THEMSELVES ON ANDBTHE ONLY WHY TOBTURN IT OFF IS REBOOT THE CAMERA FROM THE MAIN TERMINAL..
Don't know if there is a delay on the system but it's keep on stating that back door open front door open main Garage Door Open but I check every door and change out the batteries and still giving me that announcement that the doors are open. Someone needs to fix the app or update it to a newer version.
