 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 recent release of the Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3. The current generation of this industry-leading component provides several impressive upgrades to better protect your family members, house, and even your vehicles. Learn more about what this camera can do and how you will benefit.  

How is the Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 an improvement on Gen 2?

You’ll discover several exciting new enhancements in Vivint’s Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3. It’s certainly worth the upgrade. Here’s why:

RADAR-powered detection for enhanced security

Vivint’s new model more precisely identifies threats due to RADAR-powered detection. RADAR enables the camera to track distance and movement. If a lurker is moving too close to your vehicle, the Smart Deter features are set off. While Gen 2 already used AI-driven smart detection to find prowlers and recognize the difference between cars, animals, and individuals, Gen 3 takes your defense to another level. 

Smart Deter gets a noticeable upgrade

People hanging around your Des Moines property will immediately see a difference with the new model’s Smart Deter features. The circle of light around the camera’s lens is twice the size, making it hard for intruders to ignore. In addition, you’ll benefit from better audio and advanced light tracking when using the Spotlight Pro.

There’s even more to appreciate with Gen 3, as Vivint has enhanced the 4K sensor to deliver better image quality across different light levels. You’ll enjoy the upgraded night vision and zoom improvements. Digital zoom spikes to 5.3x, compared to Gen 2’s 3x. 

Overall, the updates strengthen detection and protection and help cut down on false alarms. The different generations also have a few similarities, including the contemporary, weather-resistant design. In addition, Gen 3 pairs effortlessly with the Vivint Smart Hub and app, just like Gen 2. And of course, installation is handled by skilled Vivint technicians. 

Combine your Gen 3 Vivint camera with the Spotlight Pro 

Install the camera separately, or elevate it even more with the Spotlight Pro. This powerful accessory throws light on lurkers in your yard and actually tracks them with a spotlight. If they get too close, your selection of intense lighting patterns kicks in. Fully adjustable via your smartphone’s app, the Spotlight Pro can illuminate backyards, driveways, and other areas of your property. Designed for security, the Spotlight Pro provides a functional light source for your home.
