The Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) brings enhanced security through high-tech features such as behavior-based detection using RADAR and AI, Smart Deter™ technology, and comprehensive recording options on both the cloud and within the device.

It boasts 5.3x high-definition zoom with a 4K sensor for sharp image quality, continuous 24/7 recording, and dynamic camera tuning for clear visibility both day and night.

Enhanced security for homeowners

Vivint’s previous Outdoor Camera Pro models, featuring Smart Deter™ and installed in millions of US homes, are already highly regarded for robust security. The introduction of RADAR and AI in this latest generation offers improved precision, customisation, and convenience for homeowners.

Jim Nye, Vivint's Chief Product Officer, emphasised the company’s commitment to developing innovative technologies that transform home experiences. “The newest generation of Vivint’s popular Outdoor Camera Pro unlocks a new dimension for threat response by combining RADAR and AI for a first-of-its-kind behaviour-based detection," Nye stated. He added that it enhances protection with fewer disruptions.

He noted that the Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) uniquely focuses on behavior-based threats, not innocent activities such as neighbours passing by or children at play, providing targeted protection for homeowners.

Key functionalities and benefits

Slated for release across the United States in February 2026, the key functionalities of the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) encompass:

  • Behavior-Based Detection: This feature integrates RADAR and AI to differentiate and respond to threats based on detected behaviours while ignoring harmless activities, ensuring more accurate alerts.
  • Intelligent Vehicle Protection: The Gen 3 camera offers heightened sensitivity in detecting potential threats to vehicles, triggering Smart Deter™ for immediate response.
  • Best-in-Class Camera Tuning: Optimised to deliver detailed images in any lighting, Vivint’s camera tuning provides clarity that surpasses standard pixel resolution.
  • High Definition Resolution: Equipped with a 4K image sensor, the camera captures and streams footage at up to 1080p resolution, offering clear images even at 5.3x zoom during live monitoring.
  • Cloud and Local Storage: The camera ensures seamless video capture with both cloud and local device storage, maintaining recording stability even when Wi-Fi is interrupted.
  • Hybrid Wired/Wi-Fi Network: This setup prevents signal loss for externally mounted cameras, guaranteeing a steady connection.
  • Premium Construction: The use of high-quality components and robust exterior housing enhances longevity and reliability.

Integration and pricing
