Vivint's new updates make its smart home system even smarter | Digital Trends

I’ve had a Vivint smart home for about 18 months, ever since reviewing the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro and the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro. For the most part, I find them to be incredibly smart and useful. Plus, the integration with Google and Philips Hue in particular up the “whole-home smart home” game when I can unlock my front door and have my lights turn on.

Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro The second generation of Vivint’s Doorbell camera pro retains all the things that made the first generation really nice. That includes the halo light that shows visitors where the doorbell button is, the 180-degree horizontal and vertical field of view, and the loudspeaker for speaking with guests. While the first generation doorbell had a rather plain look, the newer generation gets a much sleeker, more modern aesthetic which looks much nicer, but also very black.

Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro Like the Doorbell Camera Pro, the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro also gained the ability to locally store data, easing the network congestion of a home. The Outdoor Camera Pro has a 140-degree field of view and 85-decibel speaker which can be used to speak through the camera, or as an extension of your alarm speaker. This year, Vivint included new, more powerful IR LEDs and sensors for night vision as well. The 4K daylight sensor is capable of 3X zoom.

Vivint Indoor Camera Pro Vivint is updating its indoor camera with the same onboard recording I already covered. Vivint also added a couple of enhancements that are also quite smart. The first is a “ping” call-out button that allows someone in the home to contact the Vivint homeowner.
