If you need help selecting a business code for your Schedule C business, use the link here to see a complete list of available codes published by the IRS.  Scroll all the way toward the bottom of the page to see the beginning of the list:  https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1040sc/ch02.html#d0e308

Based on your description in your question, take a look at this one:

454390 - Other direct selling establishments (including door-to-door retailing, frozen food plan providers, party plan merchandisers, & coffee-break service providers)

To answer your other question, you would not name your self-employment business Vivint because you are working as an independent contractor for Vivint.  Usually you would simply leave the business name blank for work as an independent contractor.
