I personally would have never purchased a vivint security system (Not. Default installer code for vivint branded 2gig panel is 2203, be sure to.

The default installer code can be used to access an offline (not armed) system, and view the User codes including the master code, and change or create a new code. If a potential unauthorized user gains access to your panel in the unarmed state, using the installer code give access to all installed user codes screen, and will even allow creation of a new user code, or change of a current user code.This code trumps the master/ other user codes (try it and see) It is an equivalent to a master master user code. This is a known potential security vulnerability (the fact that 2gig uses the same default installer code, and that APX /vivint also uses the same default code for all go control systems.

As I said this code can be found online by anyone with a simple Google search for either the 2gig installers programming guide, or vivint/apx installer code 2gig default: 1561 Apx/vivint: 2203 Try it yourself Security>Menu>toolbox>'enter installer code'>user management If you currently have a 2gig/apx/vivint branded system change your installer code! It is a vulnerability when you can Google vivint installer code and see it everywhere, protection by omission is not protection at all. Its like if a antivirus program can't protect against a Trojan, and the company knows the vulnerability and keeps quite hoping no one else will discover it. If you find a security vulnerability you make it known so it can be fixed.

The simplistic criminal can use a PC and Google the vivint 2gig go control code, and use it to discover the user codes of any system not in an armed state. That create a security vulnerability when it affects 500,000 alarm systems. And another 500,000 2gig branded panels where you can Google the installer programming PDF and see the default installer code Everyone is responsible for their own security, its not hard to have the default changed. Most companies I know of have a different code for every customer, so you can't just google the number. Again this is not vivint's fault, in my opinion, it's 2gig's fault for allowing the installers code to be able to do those kinds of functions, especially remotely.

Every alarm panel uses the same default installers code. They have to. But it states right in the manual that they highly recomend you change the installers code after installing. And as for being able to google vivint/APX's installer code, aren't you kind of contributing to that by pasting their code all over this site? Seems like you're making the situation worse instead of better in my opinion. I don't quite understand how some one can just access your panel remotely with only an installers code. They don't need your account number?

Or your address, or something? Care to explain how exactly people are just getting into panels. Vivint can, so can any alarm company but the average joe?

Here is scenerio 1. Say I am scoping out homes for burglary, I see the signs, I make an excuse (I am selling something), or I just come by to say hello as a new neighbor from 'down the street' Or I am a neighbor kid/friend of your son/daughter, and I see all the expensive electronics boxes at your curb on trash day A simple look at your sign tells me there is a 99% chance you are running a 2gig contrl2 system if the vivint sign is bright orange and not faded (vivnt replaced the signs less than a year ago with UV ones) Most panels by vivnt are installed against manufacture recommendations at front entry. Knowing the installer code, it would only take me 30 sec to access your disarmed system with the default installer code, view all your user codes including Master, and/or add my own code. Most homeowners don't hang around front entry, and will let you 'see your way out'.
