Vivint warranty for security systems & cameras
The short version
Vivint covers security systems & cameras in full for 4 months, then keeps equipment parts covered to 1 year. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 9 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
