# Responsive Smart Home Alarms The Vivint Sky System Offers 24/7 Response and App Connectivity By Joey Haar | Published 2016-09-23 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivint-sky References: [pcmag](http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2488162,00.asp) & [vivint](http://www.vivint.com/sky) While [do-it-yourself smart home security systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wired-floodlight-camera) are abundantly available for those with a more frugal bent, the [Vivint Sky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivint-water-sensor) is one of the only such systems that offers a professional emergency response with its subscription service. Other home security systems, while smart and capable of monitoring homes effectively, leave any response to the homeowners themselves. With the Vivint Sky system, Vivint's monitoring team will take action in emergencies, checking with homeowners to ensure that everyone is safe should a [smoke or carbon monoxide detector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-alert-smart-smoke-carbon-monoxide-co-alarm) go off, for example, and calling local authorities if need be. Beyond that added sense of security, Vivint Sky's subscription removes the need for extra technological know-how. After ordering the service, a professional technician will come to one's house, install the Vivint Sky system, and give homeowners a tour of the system and the app. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Professional Emergency Response:** The trend of integrating professional emergency response services with smart home security systems creates new opportunities for enhanced safety and peace of mind. - **Remote Monitoring and Connectivity:** The trend of remote monitoring and app connectivity in smart home security systems allows for real-time monitoring and control of one's home from anywhere, offering convenience and control. - **Subscription-based Smart Home Security:** The trend of subscription-based smart home security systems simplifies installation and maintenance, making it more accessible to a wider range of consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Smart Home Security:** The smart home security industry can capitalize on the trend of professional emergency response by offering integrated monitoring and response services. - **Home Automation:** The home automation industry can benefit from the trend of remote monitoring and connectivity by developing innovative features and seamless integration with smart home security systems. - **Home Service Providers:** Home service providers can tap into the trend of subscription-based smart home security systems by offering installation, maintenance, and support services to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Camera Alarm Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-alarm-systems.md) - [Integrable Home Alarm Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ring-alarm.md) - [Smart Home Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-security-solution.md) - [Cellular-Connected Smart Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/att-connected-life.md) - [Live-Enabled Security Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simplisafe-1.md) - [Smart Smoke Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoke-carbon-monoxide-alarm.md) - [Collaborative Connected Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adt-self-setup-system.md) - [AI-Powered WiFi Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-security-alarm-system.md) - [Low-Cost Home Security Monitoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-security-service.md)
