You won’t be disappointed.It’s no wonder 83 million households in the US have at least one smart home device-they make life safer and more convenient for everyone inside.Īmong those devices, doorbell cameras consistently rank among the most popular. We recommend checking out Vivint, especially if you’re a homeowner and plan to stay at the same address for a while. So if you want the latest in home automation and total home security, then we can say that Vivint is one of the best options on the market today (if not the best). And the Smart Sentry deterrence features were a great bonus, too. We also really liked the slim profile and smartphone controls. Note, however, that the customizations is precisely where the product outshines much of the competition. In our experience using this doorbell cam, we enjoyed the expansive feature-set and high-quality optics. But if you’re already sold on Vivint, we think this device is a no-brainer and will be a welcome addition to your Vivint smart home security system. In fact, if you’re not a current Vivint customer, and you’re not planning on purchasing a Vivint home security equipment, then there may be better options for you. There is no doubt that Vivint’s video doorbell camera is an investment. Rather, we think Vivint is an ideal fit for homeowners who value premium products/services and have the budget to get the goods. Overall, Vivint equipment and monitoring isn’t the cheapest out there, but it’s also not trying to be cheap. This is actually fairly standard for cloud storage plans. We won’t get too deep into the technicalities here, just know that you get all of this for $5 per camera per month (on top of other Vivint charges).

With their cloud storage plan called Vivint Playback, you’ll get 1 terabyte (TB) of download capacity and 30 days of continuous 24/7 recording. But keep in mind that this includes total home protection from one of the best home security companies in the industry. You might also have to sign a contract with Vivint, which is never fun. This is the Vivint ‘Smart Home’ plan that we tested it’s required to run Vivint cameras, including the Doorbell Camera Pro.

On top of equipment prices, Vivint costs $39.99 per month for 24/7 professional monitoring, plus $5 per month for every camera installed. So keep reading to see if Vivint makes sense to guard your castle. We really wanted to see how it stacks up to other top contenders in the doorbell domain - like Ring Video Doorbell and Nest Hello.

To answer that, we tested Vivint’s Wi-Fi doorbell for over 100 hours, getting hands-on experience with its features and tech, customizations (there’s lots), user-friendliness, and overall value.

And trust us, this little doorbell cam made our everyday FedEx delivery or grocery drop-off appear larger than life.īut while our doorbell addition made life more convenient (we even answered the door from our couch without taking our eyes off Peaky Blinders), can Vivint really “Banish Porch Pirates” like it claims?

With this in mind, we recently had our local Vivint technician drop by to install a full smart home security system in our home… and with it, a Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro. Whenever we get our hands on a new doorbell camera, we’re always looking for the trifecta of features: Crisp and clear resolution, a wide viewing angle, and smartphone controls.
