Specs &amp; Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Vivint Sky panel has taken another leap in the home security industry. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/vivint-reviews\/\">Vivint<\/a> who does a great job in smart home innovation\u00a0continually improves and updates their equipment. \u00a0They were one of the first home security systems with a <a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/2gig\/\">2gig touchscreen panel<\/a>. \u00a0Then in 2015 they introduced the SKY panel and have since released better versions of it. \u00a0<strong>All Vivint security systems now come standard with a sky panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Specs and details of this home security control panel:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Can manage a smart thermostat. \u00a0This turns homes into a\u00a0<em>smarthomes<\/em> and can save the average user $20-30 a month on their energy bill during peak months.<\/li>\n<li>Manage users. \u00a0Easily add or delete users from the control panel. \u00a0Users who have downloaded the Vivint app to their device will be notified and can take control of the alarm system.<\/li>\n<li>In &#8216;Settings&#8217; you can find how to adjust brightness clock and weather, connect Sky control to WiFi and more.<\/li>\n<li>Can setup bypass sensors. \u00a0This way you can open that window at night to let the cool air breeze in and not set off the alarm. \u00a0This is unique to the Sky, whereas most <a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\">other home alarm systems<\/a> have an &#8216;All&#8217; or &#8216;Door\/window&#8217; mode to turn on only.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2016 the Sky Control panel took an upgrade by\u00a0<strong>removing all wires.<\/strong> \u00a0This is the first truly &#8216;wireless&#8217; security panel as of now. \u00a0For their technicians, this makes installation times fast and easier. \u00a0They can sync the security sensors to the control panel in a matter of minutes and complete a full installation in under 30 minutes. \u00a0The hardest part will be installing the security cameras and door locks. \u00a0These changes will take place in the coming year of their summer sales program.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Sky versus the standard panel<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2033\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ATT-Control-panel.png\" alt=\"standard security panel\" width=\"211\" height=\"139\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like the standard panel, with Sky users\u00a0can still set up a 4 digit pass-ode. \u00a0It is also Z-wave compatible and outperforms even the best <a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/honeywell-total-connect-security\/\">Honeywell GO<\/a>. \u00a0The Sky panel can also still be controlled with a key fob for users who don&#8217;t want to use their smartphones.<\/p>\n<h4>Controlling the Sky Panel<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3460\" src=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Vivint-smarthome-app.png\" alt=\"vivint-smarthome-app\" width=\"184\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Vivint-smarthome-app.png 184w, https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Vivint-smarthome-app-153x300.png 153w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.vivint.com\/how-to\/sky-app-download-vivint-sky-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Vivint Sky app<\/a>\u00a0users will learn to love the ease of use and simplicity of this design. \u00a0Easily swipe to turn certain sensors or the alarm system fully on or off. \u00a0Access video footage saved from video cameras etc. \u00a0The app has even more, functions than the Sky panel itself but the two go hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Summary<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For a price of $99+\/- for a professional to come out and install a Vivint system including the Sky control panel, it is a great price. \u00a0With the new\u00a0<strong>wireless features,<\/strong> Vivint stays ahead in innovative security products for mass consumers. \u00a0It compares and <a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/vivint-vs-adt\/\">beats ADT<\/a> Pulse app in our opinion and is far superior to any other touchscreen control panel.<\/p>\n<p>To get\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">$0 activation <\/span><\/strong>with\u00a0agreement to their monitoring terms, <a href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/vivint-reviews\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Latest Posts<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/3-ways-to-know-your-alarm-system-is-outdated\/\">3 Ways to know your Alarm System is Outdated<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/vivint-vs-adt\/\">Vivint vs ADT<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/top-outdoor-motion-lights\/\">7 Best Outdoor Motion Sensor Lights for Homes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/top-home-security-systems-atlanta-ga\/\">Top Home Security Systems in Atlanta, GA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/what-to-do-when-your-security-company-contract-runs-out\/\">How to Cancel Your Alarm Contract<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What it is &#8211;
