Vivint Is for You: The Delivery Tracker

Not so long ago, shopping meant leaving the house. Maybe it was heading to the grocery store with a list and pushing an actual shopping cart up and down the aisles. Or maybe you gritted your teeth, rounded up the kids, and headed to the mall for back-to-school shopping.

Today, this type of shopping experience is a distant memory for many of us. Thanks to Amazon, DoorDash, and other delivery services, you can have whatever you need delivered to your door within hours, from groceries to electronics to pet supplies.

But as convenient as it is having everything you want and need delivered right to your doorstep, it’s not without risk. About 44 percent. of online shoppers have experienced package theft, and statistics like this can make online shopping seem like more a risk than a convenience.

Smarter homes for Delivery Trackers

Luckily, Vivint can take the hassle and stress out of getting your deliveries. With smart home devices that notify you when packages arrive, monitor who’s coming and going, and even deter porch pirates, a Vivint system has the technology you need to protect your packages.

Doorbell cameras that keep an eye on your front porch

Imagine ordering a birthday gift for your loved one. You ordered in plenty of time for the party, monitored the tracking number through each stop, and finally got the “Your package has arrived!” email—only to come home from work and see no package on your porch. Even with shipping protection or insurance coverage, tracking down your package or getting a replacement is a hassle at best.

Not anymore. The Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro not only allows you to answer your door remotely, but it’s the only video doorbell that actively protects your packages from porch piracy.

Take a look at some of its features:

• Proactive package protection with Vivint’s proprietary Smart Deter technology. The camera intuitively detects packages and lurkers. If it spots someone trying to steal a package, it quickly activates a bright LED ring and plays a warning tone on a 90 dB speaker, letting the would-be thief know they’ve been caught and are being recorded.
• Real-time view of your front porch, so you can check in on your home from anywhere with the Vivint App—the same app you use to manage your entire smart home.
• Two-way audio and one-way video, letting you see and speak to any delivery driver or visitor.
• Clear footage of your front door day and night, thanks to 1664p HDR video, a wide 180°x180° field of view, and night vision.
• Hard-wired technology, providing constant connectivity, unlike most doorbell cameras, which are battery powered and leave you offline when you need to charge the battery.
• Notifications on your phone, so you know right away when a delivery arrives.

Each of these features work together to give you better visibility, enhanced security, and more peace of mind every time you hit “checkout now.”

The Outdoor Camera Pro gives you an extra set of eyes

While the Doorbell Camera Pro is your eyes on the front porch, the Outdoor Camera Pro lets you see what’s happening around your property. So if a delivery driver places your package somewhere other than the porch, or if you receive damaged packages and need proof for your warranty or claims process, you can refer to your camera footage.

The Outdoor Camera Pro also uses the same Smart Deter technology you’ll find on the Doorbell Camera Pro. The Outdoor Camera Pro identifies lurkers on your property, then plays a sound and activates an LED light to catch the lurker’s attention, letting them know they’ve been spotted and it’s time to leave.

The Outdoor Camera Pro also keeps you in the know. You’ll get notifications on your phone when someone is spotted, so you can see what’s happening in real time.

The Spotlight Pro lights the way while deterring crime

Every great crime fighter needs a sidekick, and that’s where Spotlight Pro comes in. Pair the Vivint Spotlight Pro with the Outdoor Camera Pro for ultimate front porch protection from lurkers and package thieves.

The Spotlight Pro works with the Outdoor Camera Pro to detect people on your property and begins to follow them with a spotlight. If they linger too long, the Spotlight Pro gets intense, following them with lighting effects like strobe or sweeping light until they go away. The Outdoor Camera Pro also kicks into gear, capturing footage and making it known the lurker is being recorded.

But not everyone needs or wants a light show. Spotlight Pro can also become everyday outdoor lighting, illuminating the path for you, your guests, or delivery people. And, like all Vivint smart home devices, you can always control Spotlight Pro right from the Vivint app—adjust the brightness, lighting effects, or turn it off (or on) completely right from your Vivint app.

Control your front and garage doors from anywhere

Some packages are just too valuable to leave on the doorstep. That’s where smart locks come in. With the Vivint Smart Lock, you can unlock your front door right from your phone.

But what does this mean for your deliveries? Here’s how it works when part of a complete Vivint smart home: you’ll get a notification from your Doorbell Camera that a package has been detected. You text your neighbor and ask her to put it inside your house for you. When she arrives, you pull up the Vivint App, unlock your front door, and let her know via the Doorbell Camera Pro that the door is unlocked. Once she’s gone, you can lock the door right from your phone.

Garage door control offers the same protection. Perhaps you don’t want the doorbell to scare the dog. Just open your garage door when a delivery arrives and for it to be placed inside the garage. When they leave, close the garage door with your phone. Protecting your package is really that simple.

Video storage helps you organize your camera footage

All online shoppers know that shipping issues happen. Let’s say your package includes damaged items, or you know a valuable package was stolen from your porch. Your security camera captured it all—the driver tossing a fragile package onto your porch or a person snatching up your package and driving off. This type of footage is great if you’re filling out a police report, filing a claim with the retailer or shipping insurance company, or need to provide proof to your shipping carrier that the package was damaged in transit for reimbursement.

But sorting through camera footage can be tedious at best. And if you don’t have the right amount of storage, you may miss the valuable footage you need to file claims or police reports.

Vivint Playback DVR makes this simple. It saves up to 10 days of 24/7 recordings that you can access when it’s convenient for you. Event markers make it easy to find recording of specific events. You can easily save and share clips from your phone to the police, a customer support team, or your insurance company.

Let Vivint help protect your deliveries

Whether you indulge in the occasional retail therapy or just prefer the convenience of having your necessities delivered right to your home, as a Delivery Tracker, frequent deliveries are a way of life.
