PROVO, Utah—Vivint Smart Home, an NRG brand, has announced Vehicle Detection, a new smart home feature that leverages the AI technology on Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro to identify when a vehicle arrives, leaves, or passes through a designated detection zone.
The company explains Vehicle Detection enhances a home’s security by enabling real-time alerts and recordings whenever a vehicle enters the designated area. This feature, integrated with Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro, ensures users are informed about every vehicle’s presence—from delivery trucks and grocery vans to unfamiliar cars. Upon detection, Vehicle Detection will immediately send a notification to homeowners’ phones, allowing them to view live activity outside their homes. The event is also simultaneously recorded for later review.
“Vehicle Detection is an exciting addition to our Outdoor Camera Pro,” says Jim Nye, chief product officer at Vivint. “Similar to our popular Person Detection feature, Vehicle Detection boosts the intelligence and efficiency of our smart home solution, providing customers with valuable, real-time information and peace of mind. We’re thrilled to enhance the capabilities of the Outdoor Camera Pro and provide customers with more insight into their home surroundings.”
For added convenience the large security provider points out, users just need to press and hold the notification on their phones to watch a short clip of the vehicle’s activity and get immediate insight without opening the Vivint app. Homeowners can also opt to snooze notifications, ensuring they only receive alerts that matter to their situations.
The new surveillance option is now available to all Vivint customers with a Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro. To enable the feature, the company adds, simply open the Outdoor Camera Pro settings on the Vivint app, tap on “notifications” and toggle the Vehicle Detection setting to “On.”
