Completely Wireless
All the parts of a Vivint home security system communicate wirelessly, and the system communicates with a monitoring center via a cellular uplink. This means the entire alarm system is 100% wireless, no phone line necessary. Vivint offers a touchscreen panel with every package. This control panel is the hub of your system, and it includes an LCD screen and remote access capabilities.
Security Cameras
Vivint's streaming video allows you to watch real-time camera footage or recorded clips of your home from any location. Just pull out your smartphone or other web-enabled device to check up on your home and see camera footage.
