Home Security

The Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro is a smart video camera that can recognize and stop a real danger on its own. It doesn't just capture crimes, it also helps stop them from happening.

Smart locks allow you to create 30 different access codes for people to enter and exit your home without needing a physical key. Your smart home also keeps track of these codes so you always know who is inside your house.

The Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro tells you when packages are delivered and scares away thieves who try to steal them. It doesn't just record crimes, it also stops them from happening.

If someone tries to break into windows or doors with security sensors, you will get a notification on the Vivint app and Hub. Vivint's team is available 24/7 and will be alerted to help in case of an emergency.

The Vivint Smart Thermostat lets you control your thermostat wirelessly. You can turn on the air conditioning as you head home, or make sure your home office stays warm during a blizzard, all using the same mobile app that also controls your locks, cameras, and garage door.

• What are the most common types of home crimes in 2024? The most common types of home crimes include burglary, theft, vandalism, home invasions, and cyber intrusions targeting smart home devices.

• How can I prevent a home burglary? Ensure all doors and windows are securely locked, use deadbolts and security bars, install a comprehensive home security system with cameras, use motion-sensor lights, and ensure your property is well-lit and visible.

• What should I do if my home is broken into? Prioritize safety by not entering if you suspect the intruder is still inside. Call the police immediately, avoid touching anything to preserve evidence, and document the scene and any missing items for the authorities.

• How can I secure my home against cyber intrusions? Use strong, unique passwords for all smart devices, enable two-factor authentication, regularly update device software, secure your Wi-Fi network, and use reputable security software.

• What steps can I take to deter package theft? Use package delivery lockers, install security cameras, schedule deliveries for when you are home, require signatures for deliveries, or use services like Amazon Key for secure in-home or garage delivery.

• How do I report a home crime? Contact your local police department immediately. Provide them with all necessary details, such as the time of the incident, any suspects or witnesses, and any evidence or surveillance footage you may have.

• What should I do if I suspect my neighbor is involved in criminal activity? Avoid direct confrontation. Instead, document your observations, and report your concerns to local law enforcement or a community watch program.

• How can I make my home less attractive to criminals? Maintain a well-lit exterior, use security signs and stickers, trim bushes and trees that could provide cover, install visible security cameras, and foster good relationships with neighbors who can help keep an eye on your property.

Protect yourself by installing solid core doors, using high-quality locks, incorporating a comprehensive security system, and avoiding opening the door to strangers.

• How effective are neighborhood watch programs in preventing home crimes? Neighborhood watch programs can be very effective in preventing home crimes by fostering a sense of community, increasing vigilance, and encouraging residents to report suspicious activities to law enforcement promptly.

• What legal actions can I take if my home is vandalized? Report the incident to the police, document the damage with photos and a detailed report, and contact your insurance company to file a claim. You may also pursue legal action against the perpetrators if they are identified.
