Vivint Announces New Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3): The Only Camera with Behavior Based Smart Deter™ Technology

Latest generation of Vivint’s popular Outdoor Camera Pro series combines RADAR and artificial intelligence with premium components and best-in-class camera tuning to set a new standard of excellence for outdoor video security

LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vivint, the leading US security and smart home company, announces the next generation of outdoor video security: Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3), the only camera with RADAR and Artificial Intelligence that responds to threats by identifying and addressing specific actions and behaviors, not just motion or proximity.

Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) offers reliable and advanced outdoor security and convenience thanks to best-in-class components, RADAR- and AI- behavior based detection, Smart Deter™ technology, both cloud and on-device recording, 5.3x HD zoom with a 4K sensor, 24/7 recording, and the industry’s best dynamic camera tuning for a crisp, clear image day or night.

With millions of units professionally installed in homes across the U.S., Vivint’s second generation Outdoor Camera Pro with Smart Deter™ is already one of the most trusted options for enhanced security and protection. Now, Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) combines a new RADAR sensor with advanced AI, bringing homeowners improved and unmatched precision, convenience, and customization.

“Vivint isn’t satisfied with simply innovating, we want to create breakthrough technologies that redefine the home experience for our customers,” said Jim Nye, Chief Product Officer for Vivint. “The newest generation of Vivint’s popular Outdoor Camera Pro unlocks a new dimension for threat response by combining RADAR and AI for a first of its kind behavior-based detection able to identify and respond intelligently to threatening actions, ensuring greater protection with less interruptions to your daily life.”

“Crime happens fast, and the ability to quickly identify real threats can determine whether or not you become a victim,” continued Nye. “Only Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) can identify and respond to behavior-based threats to your home and property, not neighbors walking by or kids playing in your yard, helping you protect the things you care about the most.”

Launching nationwide in February 2026, key features and benefits of Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) include:

  • Behavior-Based Detection: Patent-pending technology combining RADAR and AI to identify and respond to potential threats based on actual behaviors while filtering out clearly innocuous activity for quicker response and more accurate alerts.
  • Intelligent Vehicle Protection: Gen 3 detects threats to homeowners’ vehicles with improved accuracy, instantly triggering Smart Deter™.
  • Best-in-Class Camera Tuning: Vivint’s optimized dynamic picture and video tuned specifically for maximum clarity in all light conditions means crisply defined and detailed images that pixels alone can’t replicate.
  • Full HD Resolution: Gen 3 provides crystal clear imagery – even when zooming in (up to 5.3x on live footage) – due to a 4k image sensor that streams and records at up to 1080p resolution.
  • Cloud & Local Device Storage: Gen 3 continuously records and saves footage to both cloud and device storage to ensure uninterrupted video capture even during Wi-fi disruption.
  • Hybrid Wired/Wi-fi Network: Only Vivint’s combination wired/Wi-fi network eliminates signal loss caused by external mounting, ensuring consistent, reliable connection.
  • Premium Construction: Highest-quality device components and automotive-grade exterior housing ensure optimal performance and longer device life.

Like all Vivint’s integrated offerings, Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) is easily controlled through a single, simple, user-friendly mobile app allowing customers to access live or archived footage, communicate with visitors via two-way talk, and receive and respond to critical alerts immediately, at home or on the go. Hardwired power also ensures a consistent supply with no batteries to replace.

Vivint’s Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) will be available everywhere for $399.99 starting in February 2026. For more information about Vivint’s other innovative security and smart home products, visit Vivint.com.
