Vivint shines through its proprietary equipment, which stands out in its sleekness and functionality compared to that of its competitors. The system’s operating hub is the Sky Control, a 7 inch color touchscreen device from which you activate and deactivate your system, lock and unlock doors, view video feeds, adjust smart home devices, and much more. Vivint’s other devices such as sensors and outdoor and doorbell cameras are equally high end and compatible with 3rd party smart home devices. The system uses a cellular connection, which protects against burglar wire cutting, but may be an issue in rural areas where the cellular signal is weak. The chief positives Link Interactive brings to the table are the wealth of security options offered for different homeowner needs and flexible price points. You can choose which equipment you need and select between three plans of ascending cost. The flexibility extends to the contracts, as well: customers have the option of selecting between 1,2, and 3 year contracts, or having no contract at all. Furthermore, Link Interactive offers a 30 day money back guarantee with no questions asked. As mentioned before, plans include the Standard $30. 99 a month, professional monitoring, fire and intrusion alarms, two way voice to monitoring stations, Gold $35. 99 a month, everything that comes with Standard in addition to home automation features like lights, locks, and a remote control app, and Elite $40.
