How Do You Customise a Vivint Package?
You customise a Vivint package in 3 ways: add devices from the equipment list, choose the monitoring plan that matches your camera count, and choose between paying equipment upfront or financing it over 12 to 60 months.
The 3 customisation decisions, in the order the quote takes them:
- Devices: every door and ground-floor window gets a sensor; each entrance gets a camera if video is wanted; smart home devices are added per room.
- Monitoring: homes with no camera take HomeProtect at $24.99; homes with any camera take HomeProtect Pro at $44.99.
- Payment: upfront purchase allows month-to-month monitoring at $29.99; financing requires the 36-month agreement.
Device prices are on the Vivint equipment price list, and the payment rules are on the Vivint financing page.
