Your home (and everything in it) is precious to you, but you can’t be there all day, every day, to monitor and protect it. Luckily, you don’t have to. Smart home cameras allow you to step away while feeling comfortable knowing your house is under a watchful eye, and you can feel even more secure thanks to Vivint Smart Home’s latest artificial intelligence-powered security camera.

The Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro protects your home with the power of A.I. Unlike some smart home cameras that can easily be triggered by just about any movement, Vivint’s latest smart device can differentiate between the innocuous and the suspicious activity that needs your attention. That means no more alerts from passersby or cars coming down the street. If you get an alert from the camera, you’ll know to pay attention to it.

Vivint’s Outdoor Camera Pro uses advanced analytics to determine when activity requires your attention. You can set up a surveillance zone to have the camera focus its attention on, and you can tell it to filter out notifications that don’t matter to you, like pets walking by. The camera uses a Smart Sentry feature that pays attention to a person’s behavior. If they lurk too long on your property, the camera can alert you to the suspicious activity. It will also deter the potential intruder by flashing a red light and issuing a warning tone.

To protect your home day and night, the Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro is equipped with night vision. When a notification comes in that requires your attention, you can view a livestream or recording of the action in 1080p, allowing you to zoom in for a closer look if need be. Plus, all clips are available on-demand, so you can report any activity to law enforcement if needed.

“Cameras are our most popular smart home product category for a reason – would-be burglars fear cameras the most of any security solution,” said Jeff Lyman, chief product officer at Vivint Smart Home. “Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro goes beyond awareness by introducing a new layer of protection that helps deter and prevent crime.”

The Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro will integrate into the rest of the company’s smart home security suite, which includes smart locks, lights, doorbells, indoor cameras, sensors, car protection, and more.

Beyond the Boundary Wire: How Yardcare and the New N1600PRO are Leading the Robotic Mower Revolution
With automated routes and advanced mapping, Yardcare N1600 PRO robot lawn mower is made to meet modern lifestyle with smart precision.
Grass, Lawn, Plant

The weekend morning dread is a real situation, and homeowners know it pretty well. I've often woken up with the realization that the next few hours will be spent toiling with the hum of a petrol engine machine and hours of pushing a heavy mower around the yard. We’ve all been there, sweating under the sun, in our quest to achieve a green carpet that looks fine at best, but rarely ever achieves the work done by an expert. A fully automated solution should address all those problems, but finding a reliable one isn't a cakewalk.

The hassles of setting up boundary wire, mastering the navigation, and requiring constant manual supervision don't really sound like an autonomous dream. But tech is finally catching up, and one of its best specimens is Yardcare’s N1600PRO. The latest from Yardcare ensures that lawn care no longer means non-stop manual effort, but relaxed efficiency. If you're a homeowner who is increasingly leaning toward automation to take care of your yard space, Yardcare is here to help you make that smart shift with the N1600PRO.
