For $50 you'll get the smart home video service plan, which includes 30 days of continuous DVR recording for up to four cameras, if you purchase the Vivint smart drive for $249.
Though these plans don't require long term contracts, the biggest downside of Vivint smart home is what you lose if you don't want monthly monitoring.
Forgo this service, and you also lose the Vivint app, voice control with Alexa or Google, and most major customer service Features.
Without monitoring the vivint smart home will still sound local alarms but emergencies services won't be called and you'll lose the ability to monitor your home via the app.
Although vivint professional monitoring system and rangers my home products is robust.
If you're ready to commit to monthly and want someone to set up your smart home for you, vivint is a smart choice.
