Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro: Meet the Smartest Outdoor Camera on the Market
Outdoor security cameras are a must for any home security system, giving you an extra set of eyes that lets you see what’s happening on your property, day or night.
If you’ve been thinking about adding a home security camera or upgrading your smart home security cameras, the newest iteration of the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro belongs at the top of your list. Designed to proactively deter threats, it’s the most advanced outdoor camera on the market for preventing crime—not just capturing it after the fact.
With a wide range of features and capabilities that go beyond the typical outdoor camera, the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro 3 offers much more than basic motion alerts. This intelligent camera proactively protects your property using AI technology, sharper pictures, and seamless integration with your Vivint smart home system.
Read on to find out what makes the latest version of an already amazing camera even smarter.
New Outdoor Camera Pro 3 features and upgrades
The newest version of the Outdoor Camera Pro is perfect for homeowners who want the best technology and most advanced functionality to intelligently protect their homes.
RADAR-enhanced behavior-based detection
RADAR is a gamechanger when it comes to protecting your home. In our new patent-pending detection technology, RADAR teams up with AI to identify potential threats to your property, not just alert you to a person or motion. Instead of relying specifically on motion detection, it identifies specific actions and behaviors that present a threat to your property—such as a person approaching your vehicle—while ignoring commonplace, nonthreatening events, like a neighbor walking by or your kids playing in the yard.
So why is RADAR-powered detection better? It measures both movement and distance, so the camera can more accurately distinguish between people, vehicles, and common motion triggers. This reduces false notifications and improves overall detection accuracy.
On-device intelligence
Many home security cameras use a Wi-Fi connection to not only stay connected, but to function as well. With the latest and greatest Outdoor Camera Pro, on-device AI is used to power Smart Deter, which wards off potential lurkers using light and sound. AI is also used to intelligently detect people, vehicles, and motion without relying on the camera’s Wi-Fi connection. That means faster, more accurate detection when you need it.
Improved deterrence features
One of the best things about the Outdoor Camera Pro is Smart Deter. When the camera spots someone lurking on your property, it plays a loud tone and illuminates the LED ring around the camera lens, catching the lurker’s attention and letting them know they’ve been spotted. This unique feature can also be found on the Doorbell Camera Pro, the Vivint video doorbell for front door monitoring.
The Outdoor Camera Pro 3 combines Smart Deter and two-way talk, so you can hear and speak to people on your property. An upgraded outward-facing speaker allows for better, clearer audio.
Intelligent Vehicle Protection
If you own your home, townhome, or condo, there’s a good chance you have a garage—approximately 80% of homes do. And if you have one, there’s a chance you don’t even park in it at all: Many homeowners park at least one family car in the driveway or on the street. This presents an opportunity for car thieves—one of the most common locations for car theft is, in fact, the driveway.
With the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, parking in the driveway doesn’t need to be a gamble. This camera extends the power of Smart Deter to your cars with intelligent Vehicle Protection, which uses RADAR to identify when someone is lurking near your car, then triggers a deterrent instantly. This helps stop threats to your car before they begin—and it’s the industry’s only RADAR + AI vehicle protection.
Maximum visibility and clarity
When it comes to outdoor security cameras, crystal-clear video quality is a must, day or night. The ability to clearly zoom in on license plates and faces means you’ll be able to identify cars, clothing, and features—all important details if the need arises.
The newest Outdoor Camera Pro boasts maximum visibility and clarity, 24/7. It features high dynamic range (HDR) video with an upgraded 4K sensor that lets you zoom up to 5.3x without losing HD image quality. Get clear video even in low light with precision tuning, which is optimized for day or night. This high-performance image sensor allows you to see more detail in the dark than many other color night vision cameras.
All this is in addition to the camera’s ultra-wide 140° field of view, which captures more of your property.

Why you need the Outdoor Camera Pro
When it comes to security cams, you’ll be hard-pressed to find one as feature-rich as the Outdoor Camera Pro. In addition to the new features found in the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, the camera also features:
- Continuous, 24/7 video recording: Intermittent, spotty recording just won’t cut it. The Outdoor Camera Pro provides optional continuous, high-quality recording 24/7/365. If your Wi-Fi goes out, the Outdoor Camera 3 keeps recording thanks to local storage.
- Cloud and local video storage: The camera’s continuous recording uses both local and cloud storage with the optional Vivint Playback. With Playback, you can record up to 10 days of continuous footage that can be accessed through the Vivint app at any time. Without Playback, the camera records event-based clips when it detects activity.
- AI video search: The Outdoor Camera Pro 3 also supports AI features like video search, which allows you to quickly find what you need—whether it’s a person, vehicle, or event—from your footage without sifting through hours of video.
- Durable, weatherproof exterior: Outdoor cameras must be able to record day or night, rain or shine. The Outdoor Camera Pro 3 has a weather-resistant design that withstands harsh conditions without sacrificing video quality.
- Customizable detection zones: Set the spots that matter most to you, whether it’s a gate, swimming pool, or doghouse. If someone lingers too long in the zone, your camera instantly notifies you and responds.
- Hybrid Wi-Fi wired camera connectivity: Your security cameras are only as good as their connection. Wireless security cameras located outside can have spotty connectivity due to exterior walls, and cameras that exclusively use hardwired connection can have complex installation. The Outdoor Camera Pro's hybrid connectivity provides the wired connection necessary to maintain network strength through exterior walls while giving you all the benefits of a Wi-Fi camera.
- Hardwired power: Wireless cameras rely on battery or solar power, meaning you need a sunny day or full battery life for your camera to stay powered. The Outdoor Camera Pro is hardwired, so you don’t have to worry about rechargeable batteries or solar panels to power your camera. And with Vivint professional installation included with all systems, you won’t need to worry about DIY-ing your smart security system—the pros will make it look wire-free for you, so you get the reliability of a plug-in camera with the wireless look and power of a battery-powered camera.

The Outdoor Camera Pro 3’s functionality goes above and beyond the typical outdoor security cam to provide intelligent protection and accurate alerts for your yard and vehicle, crystal-clear video quality, and 24/7 recording of the areas you want to watch.
Compatibility with Vivint security cameras
When part of a comprehensive Vivint smart home, the Outdoor Camera Pro 3 works with and complements other Vivint security cams within your home:
- Spotlight Pro. If you really want to keep lurkers and potential thieves off your property, pair your Outdoor Camera Pro 3 with the Spotlight Pro. This floodlight works with the camera, using Smart Deter to intelligently identify lurkers on your property. If they linger too long, the floodlight cam follows the lurker while the camera uses Smart Deter to let them know they’ve been spotted. Without Smart Deter activated, the Spotlight Pro lights your exterior for added visibility, security, and peace of mind.
- Doorbell Camera Pro. While the Outdoor Camera Pro 3 is protecting your driveway and outside areas, the Doorbell Camera Pro protects your front porch. It features the same Smart Deter feature in the outdoor camera, so it can identify potential package thieves and scare them off.
- Outdoor Camera Pro 2. Want to add the Outdoor Camera Pro 3 to your existing home security cam lineup? No problem. It works with the previous Outdoor Camera Pro, so all your cameras still work even if you don’t want to upgrade your entire camera system at once.
