 Vivint's Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 with a more noticeable LED light ring

Vivint has set a new standard in home security yet again with the new release of the Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3. The new generation of this industry-leading camera provides some meaningful enhancements to better secure your house, family members, and even cars in your driveway. Learn more about what this camera is capable of and how you can benefit.  

What makes the Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 an improvement on Gen 2?

You’ll notice several exciting new improvements in Vivint’s Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3. You’ll be happy you upgraded. Here’s why:

RADAR-driven detection for advanced protection

Vivint’s newest camera more accurately pinpoints threats due to RADAR-driven detection. RADAR allows the camera to determine movement and distance. If a powler is moving too close to your vehicle, the Smart Deter features are set off. While Gen 2 already used AI-powered smart detection to find prowlers and distinguish between cars, animals, and individuals, Gen 3 enhnaces your security even more. 

Smart Deter gets a makeover

People lurking around your Evanston property will immediately discover a difference with the new model’s Smart Deter capabilities. The red LED light around the camera’s face is 2x larger, making it much harder for trespassers to ignore. Additionally, you’ll benefit from clearer audio and advanced light tracking when implementing the Spotlight Pro.

See more clearly aroundGet a clearer view of your Evanston home with enhanced zoom and video

There’s a lot more to love with Gen 3, as Vivint has enhanced the 4K sensor to improve clarity across various light levels. You’ll appreciate the incredible night vision and zoom improvements. Digital zoom increases to 5.3x, compared to Gen 2’s 3x. 

Overall, the updates strengthen protection and detection and help minimize false alarms. The different generations also have several things in common, including the modern, weather-resistant design. Additionally, Gen 3 works effortlessly with the Vivint app and Smart Hub, just like Gen 2. And of course, installation is done by well-trained Vivint technicians. 

Add Spotlight Pro to your Gen 3 Vivint camera 

Order the camera separately, or elevate it even more with the Spotlight Pro. This powerful accessory illuminates trespassers on your property and actually tracks them with a spotlight. If they come too close, your pick of bold lighting patterns kicks in. Entirely controllable with your smartphone’s app, the Spotlight Pro can light up backyards, driveways, and other parts of your property. Designed for security, the Spotlight Pro provides a functional light source for your family.
