Smart security devices

Home security systems require the best devices to be
e"ective. Vivint provides a security ecosystem for

intruders, but environmental threats as well. Home
security systems from Vivint include smart security

far. An alarm will immediately sound if
motion is detected, glass is broken, or a door
is opened while your system is armed.

• Indoor security cameras. Whether you're

using it as a security camera for your home,
a baby monitor, or to just keep tabs on the
family while you're away, the Vivint Indoor
Camera provides a crystal clear picture. It
also features one-touch callout, perfect for
kids who don't have a cell phone but need

• Outdoor security cameras. Keep an eye on

the outside of your home with the smartest
outdoor surveillance camera on the market.

monoxide. The wireless CO detector

Smart home devices

A smart home is only as smart as its devices, and
Vivint automation systems are second to none.

Take a look at some of these devices and what they

can do for your home:

• Smart locks for complete front door

control. Vivint smart locks let you abandon
hide-a-keys—and house keys—for a
smarter, safer alternative. Instead, you can
lock and unlock your front door with a code,
or do it remotely from your Vivint app.
Assign di"erent codes to each member of
your family or to visitors, and then change
them as often as needed. You can also set
custom rules to lock your door
automatically.

• Smart lights for automated lighting

control. Smart lighting not only makes it
easier than ever to save electricity, but it's
also pretty convenient. No more going from
room to room every night to turn o" the
lights before bed; you can simply do it all
from bed (or anywhere!) via your smart
home app. Vivint also lets you create room
groups, such as downstairs lights or
bedrooms, so you can turn speci!c lights on
or o" at the same time for better security.

• Smart thermostats for comfort and

savings. When programmable thermostats
were introduced to the market, they were all
the rage. Smart thermostats go a step
further and actually learn your preferences,
and then customize your home’s
temperature accordingly. This makes your
home as cozy or cool as you like it without
having to do a thing. Even better? It also
helps you save on energy and heating and
cooling costs.

• Smart speakers for voice control. With a

Vivint system, your Amazon Echo or Google
Home can also give you voice control over
your home. So you can ask Alexa to turn up
the thermostat or turn o" the lights, all with
your voice.

Vivint's professional installation also ensures that

each of your devices work together seamlessly.

Everything Works Together w…

Control over your

home wherever you
are
Your Vivint system also gives you the ability to control
your home and smart home technology no matter
where you are, thanks to the Vivint Smart Hub and

control your home and access information all from
one central location. From your Smart Hub, you can:

• Arm and disarm your smart security devices

• View your wireless security cameras or

doorbell camera feeds

• Use the two-way talk feature to talk to

visitors at your front door or communicate
with the alarm monitoring station

• Call for help with the panic button.

What about when you're away? The Vivint app

allows you to remotely access your smart home and
its features whether you're in another room or
another state.

Some of the things you can do with the smart home

app include:

• Receive alerts and noti!cations for speci!c

events, like an alarm triggered, door
unlocked, or activity on your front door

• View live camera feeds and recorded clips

• Arm and disarm your smart security devices

• Adjust your home's temperature

• Lock and unlock your front doors

• Talk to people at the front door or through

your other wireless security cameras
