Customer reviews: Doorbell Camera Pro

The Doorbell Camera Pro is a must-have for home security, allowing you to see activity that happens in your front porch and answer your door from your phone (whether you’re home or not).

Key Doorbell Camera Pro features

• 180° x 180° field of view for full porch coverage

• 1080p HD video with night vision

• Smart Deter™ with LED ring light and 90dB speaker

• Two-way audio for remote communication

• Package arrival notifications

Take a look at some of the features our customers love about their Doorbell Camera Pro:

Security

The Doorbell Camera Pro proactively protects your packages by notifying you when a package arrives, and Smart Deter™ technology deters porch pirates by illuminating the LED ring around the camera, then plays a sound through the 90dB speaker to let potential thieves know they’ve been spotted.

The video doorbell’s security features provide our customers with peace of mind, and, thanks to advanced person detection, has even helped people catch potential thieves in the act:

This camera is amazing. We get a lot of deliveries and the “guarding your package” feature is great! When anyone comes to the door the doorbell whistles, and then tells them they are being recorded. Much better than our previous ring doorbell!

DRINDA

 

Really good, it already came into good use, got voice and photos of youngsters scoping my house for a break in.

thomas

 

I like the deterrent whistle and I can see who is at the door before I open it.

Kathy

 

The smart doorbell has two-way talk, night vision and motion detection. When it detects someone is on the porch the light turns red and flashes and sounds a high sound (you can customize it others sounds of your choice) so scare away unwanted persons

Customer

The customer service, service reps and installers are friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Clear image and large viewing area

A 180° x 180° lens offers the widest field of view, letting you see your porch clearly from top to bottom and side to side.

It shows clear and precise video of the folks walking to our door. As they are walking up the driveway they are going seen. Replay on the video is excellent

Lakeisha

 

Picture is crystal clear and recoding is very clear.

David

 

I love being able to clearly see and hear people that come to the door. Being able to talk to people at the door through the speaker is a bonus.

Chuma

Remote answering

One of the best things about a doorbell camera is that its one-way video and two-way audio allow you to answer the door from anywhere. Whether you’re not home or just don’t want to come downstairs to open the door, you can use the Vivint app to communicate with visitors no matter where you are. According to statistics from the Bureau of Justice, over 70% of break-ins occur when no one is home, so being able to see and speak to anyone who comes to your door can help protect you from break-ins or people casing your home.

Doorbell camera is very clear, and I love being able to communicate with a person, even when I'm not at home.

Evelyn

 

I love that I can see who's at my door when I'm not home

Check out what our customers are saying about their Outdoor Camera Pro:

Identify and discourage lurkers with Smart Deter™

Smart Deter™ technology provides peace of mind and an added layer of security. When person detection spots a lurker on your property or sees someone approaching your vehicle, the camera illuminates an LED ring light and plays a loud tone, letting them know they’re on camera. You’ll also be notified of the activity so you can take appropriate action.

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE OUTDOOR CAMERA PRO.....I HAVE TOTAL NOTIFICATION WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE BACKYARD, MY FRONT YARD, OR COMING TO THE DOOR. I'M VERY COMFORTABLE WITH MY SYSTEM. BOTTOM LINE IT GIVES ME PEACE OF MIND.

Henrietta

 

I have 5 cameras and my doorbell camera. If some is the view of any cameras, it triggers a whistle. That shocks anyone who has no business on you property. That is such a great feature.

Sandra

Clear, detailed picture

It can be difficult getting a clear picture outside, especially at night. But thanks to this outdoor cam’s 4K HDR sensor and powerful infrared sensors, you can see clearly day or night. Vivint cameras capture high-definition video, ensuring that every detail is recorded. Whether it's identifying a visitor at your door or reviewing activity around your property, HD video provides clarity and precision.

These cameras are amazing! Very clear and you can zoom in! Excellent product and makes you feel safe!

Illuminate and Deter with the Vivint Spotlight Pro

The Vivint Spotlight Pro is a high-quality floodlight camera designed to enhance your outdoor home security. It pairs perfectly with the Outdoor Camera Pro to deter lurkers like never before. The Outdoor Camera Pro is quipped with advanced person detection technology, accurately identifying lurkers and ensuring that you receive timely alerts without false notifications from pets or passing vehicles. When a lurker is detected, the Spotlight Pro floodlight camera’s powerful illumination, stops thieves in their tracks. This proactive lighting system not only brightens your surroundings in low light conditions but also serves as a deterrent to potential intruders, enhancing the overall safety of your home.

Customer reviews: Indoor Camera Pro

While surveillance cameras for the outside of your house obviously have an important security purpose, there are lots of reasons why you’d want an indoor security camera, too—particularly Vivint’s feature-rich Indoor Camera.

Key Indoor Camera Pro features

• 150° horizontal, 80° vertical field of view

• 1080p HD video quality

• One-touch callout for in-home communication

• Two-way talk and one-way video

• 2 high-powered infrared LEDs for night vision

• Smartphone zoom capability

One-touch callout

The Indoor Camera also doubles as a means for family members to get ahold of you, thanks to its one-touch callout feature. It’s the only indoor security camera on the market that lets family members contact you by pressing a single button—perfect for kids who are old enough to stay home alone but perhaps not old enough for their own phone yet.

The callout feature calls your cell phone, and two-way talk and one-way video lets you see and talk with people at home over the camera. It’s a feature our customers love as well:

We use this all the time. We even communicate with whoever is home thru the camera

Lakeisha

 

I love it because I could me able to see inside of my home and see when my children arrive from school and to communicate with them.

Claudia

Clear picture and wide angle

A clear picture is a must when you need to see what’s happening at home or check on sensitive areas in your home. The Indoor Camera’s 150° lens and 1080p HD video gives you a clear view of your home, while 3 high-powered infrared LEDs provide excellent night vision, ensuring you see inside your home clearly day or night.

Seeing clearly what's happening in the room with my instruments makes me comfortable. They are safe, and if someone tries to mess with them I have video!

Anna

 

This is my life saver! I can move it wherever I like without any trouble at all. Great quality picture and sound as well. 10/10 recommend.

Mauri

You can also zoom in on specific areas of your home right from your phone to get a closer look.

Check in on home (and pets!) wherever you are

You can also use your indoor camera to check in on your four-legged family members. It’s no secret that Americans love their pets, spending a staggering $29 billion on their dogs and $12 billion on their cats each year. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense that you’d want to check in on your pet—and even speak to them—from your indoor camera while you’re away.

Our customers love that they can check on their pets via their Indoor Camera while they’re away:

Perfect for our home. We have this camera in the corner of our living room and our dogs have learned where it is. We can talk to them when we are away and they come over to show us they are waiting for us.

Justin

 

I can watch my dog from my office and make sure she is ok.

The Indoor Camera also sends you notifications on your smartphone, so you never miss a thing.
