I’m considering the Vivint Costco deal that includes two outdoor cameras with floodlights, a doorbell camera, Smart Hub, sensors, and monitoring. The pricing comes out to about $38/month ($1299 total) for the equipment and around $63/month for monitoring. For anyone who has this setup, how has your experience been so far?

One thing I’m particularly curious about is what happens if I decide to leave the vivint monitoring plan in the future. Can I still use the cameras to view live video, control the floodlights, and access the system through the app, or do most of the features stop working without a subscription?

I’m also interested in the floodlights themselves. Can they be manually turned on and off from the app whenever I want, such as when I’m hanging out in the backyard at night, or are they primarily motion-activated?

Lastly, does anyone have experience with the Vivint thermostat? Is it actually a good smart thermostat compared to other options, and would you recommend it?

I’d appreciate any real-world feedback, especially from people who have had the system for a while. Thanks!
