Vivint Emergency Pendant: Price, Range and Response
The Vivint Emergency Pendant is a wearable button that costs about $60 (complimentary for customers aged 75 and over, per Vivint) and, when held for 2 to 3 seconds, sends a signal to the Smart Hub so the monitoring centre speaks to the wearer through the panel and dispatches medical help. This guide lists the price, the 4-step response, the 300-foot range, who the pendant suits, and how it compares with a standalone medical alert service.

How Much Is the Vivint Emergency Pendant?
The Vivint Emergency Pendant costs about $60 as an add-on device, with no additional monthly fee beyond the Vivint monitoring plan, and Vivint provides it at no charge to customers aged 75 and over.
What Happens When the Pendant Is Pressed?
Pressing the pendant triggers a 4-step response: the pendant signals the Smart Hub within its 300-foot range, the hub alerts the monitoring centre as a medical emergency, an agent speaks to the wearer through the panel's two-way talk, and the agent dispatches medical services and calls the emergency contacts.
Who Should Use the Vivint Pendant?
The Vivint pendant suits 3 groups: older adults living in a Vivint-monitored home, people with mobility or medical conditions who may be unable to reach a phone, and households where a caregiver wants alerts routed through the same app as the alarm.
How Does It Compare With a Standalone Medical Alert?
The Vivint pendant works only within 300 feet of the Smart Hub, so it covers the home and yard but not trips outside, whereas standalone medical alerts with GPS cost $25 to $50 per month and work anywhere; a Vivint household adds the pendant for $60 with no monthly fee, and mobile users add a GPS alert separately.
