"'Use an app to set a schedule that will automatically turn your smart lights and lamps on and off while you’re away to make it appear that someone is home,' says Jeff Lyman, chief product officer at Vivint Smart Home. 'This can help deter lazy criminals who are looking for an obviously vacant home and don’t want to risk encountering anyone.'"

"Best Overall: Vivint Smart Home"

"Smart Sentry is a game changer."

"The new Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro steps up its home guardian game with built-in 'Smart Sentry' technology."

"If you are not a Vivint customer, this camera could make you want to become one."

"My favorite gadget of the year so far, the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro can sense when someone is on your property. It will then play a whistle sound and snap a picture when the intruder looks at the camera. Brilliant."

"Vivint topped the annual Utah Genius Awards rankings released last week with 74 U.S. patents earned last year for technology advancements, mostly focused on in-home automation and so-called 'internet of things' innovations."

"The Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro knows when someone's lingering on your property. When it detects an event, it lights up a ring on the camera and plays a sound to get the person's attention. As that's happening, it's sending an alert to your phone."

"The Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro has a 140-degree view, night vision, plus a 4K HDR sensor to provide 1080p live streaming and recording, even if someone zooms into the picture. License plate numbers, details on someone's face — all are easily seen and readable."

"The Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro protects your home with the power of A.I. Unlike some smart home cameras that can easily be triggered by just about any movement, Vivint’s latest smart device can differentiate between the innocuous and the suspicious activity that needs your attention. That means no more alerts from passersby or cars coming down the street."

"Speedy event response. Excellent video doorbell. Offers remote control of door locks, cameras, thermostats, and sensors. Responsive touch screen. No lengthy contract required."

"Perfect for folks who leave their car parked outside at night or leave their vehicle in public places like parking lots or on the street during the workday."

"Vivint Car Guard will send notifications to your smartphone if your car is bumped, towed, or stolen."

"If the Car Guard device senses a security breach, your Vivint outdoor lights and cameras will turn on and record to deter theft."

"NBA commissioner Adam Silver told me this [Vivint Smart Home] suite is “as cool as anything I’ve seen anywhere.”"
