Smart home security cameras

When you’re installing a complete home security system, wireless security cameras are the way to go. With a hybrid wired Wi-Fi connection, your cameras can easily connect to and communicate with the other smart devices in your system. And because wireless security cameras utilize cloud storage, you can view security video remotely. Installing wireless security cameras is easier, but we’d still recommend having them professionally installed.

The best, most effective security system is one custom-built for your unique home—one that protects your property, privacy, and peace of mind. Vivint equipment packages, designed to fit your specific needs, range from basic protection to advanced coverage, and the customer has the option to customize.

When building your own security camera package, begin with the basics—the Vivint Starter Kit—then choose additional products to complete your smart home system. The Vivint Starter Kit includes a Vivint Smart Hub, $300 worth of security sensors, the Vivint app, and 24/7 monitoring, starting at $39.99 per month. You can add on security cameras, which can be paid for upfront or financed and added to your monthly rate. The table below lists the Vivint security cameras, their list prices, and their monthly rates when financed over 42 and 60 months:

There are two payment options for your Vivint system. To avoid a long-term contract, customers can buy their equipment upfront and pay month-to-month for monitoring services. Alternatively, equipment can be financed and bundled with 24/7 monitoring fees, requiring a five-year contract and monthly payment.

Many of today's IP-based home security cameras can be installed, placed, and configured by homeowners without the need to hire a contractor. With Vivint home security cameras, the convenience of professional installation by Smart Home Pros is part of your smart home purchase. But once you have security cameras installed, you may want to make small adjustments sometime in the future, such as relocating cameras or adjusting angles. If you decide to do the work yourself, we suggest paying special attention to these four points:

• Camera height — Mount cameras well out of reach to prevent tampering.
• Signal strength — Make sure camera placement is within your WiFi range.
• Power supply routing — The closer to the power source, the better.
• Mounting — You want a secure and weatherproof attachment.
