or $0.83/mo over 60 months at 0% APR on approved credit. Professional installation, currently free for new customers.
The Vivint key fob is a keychain remote that costs $50 and arms the system in Stay or Away mode, disarms it, and triggers a panic alarm from up to 300 feet away in open air. Each button must be held for 2 seconds, which prevents accidental presses in a pocket. It runs on one CR2032 coin battery. This page covers the price, the 5 button functions, the specifications, and who benefits from one.

Who a Key Fob Suits
A key fob suits 3 kinds of household: people who arm from the driveway and want to skip the exit countdown, older family members who find a keypad or phone app awkward, and anyone who wants a panic button on their keys.
If a fob is lost or stolen, call Vivint to deactivate it; Vivint's warranty does not cover lost or stolen devices. The arm modes guide explains Stay and Away in full.
