Vivint Smart Home is a leading provider of Home Security Systems and smart home solutions in the United States and Canada. Their systems connect with other products and gadgets to offer supervisory, automated, and command functions throughout the residence with the help of smartphone applications and voice commands.
Laying at the very foundation of Vivint Smart Home Automation is the Sky Control Panel, a main component that controls the entire ecosystem. The panel also interfaces with the various wireless sensors, cams, door locks, temperature controls, lighting, and other systems all over the home. It communicates with the devices and with Vivint’s monitoring centers through cellular and broadband internet connections.
Some of the key technologies and components that power Vivint's systems include:
Sensors and Detectors Vivint employs various wireless sensors and detectors to monitor events and occurrences within the compound and the home in particular. These include; motion, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, water leak sensors, carbon monoxide detectors, and others. RF signals are employed in the sensors to indicate disturbances or events back to the Sky Control Panel.
Cameras Vivint owns wired and wireless indoor and outdoor security cameras that can be connected to the Vivint system. It records videos which users can monitor from the application developed by Vivint called the Vivint mobile app. The cameras have 1080p video resolution and come with infrared sensors for recording during the night. The footage is also backed up to the cloud to be safely stored.
Smart Door Locks The Vivint door locks for the home enable users to control and monitor entry to the house through their mobile phones. They utilize state-of-art encryption as well as authentication to deter hackers and other forms of access other than the correct code. Owners can check the status of a lock, change the status to lock/unlock it, and observe the history of all actions made on it.
Thermostats For example the T10 smart thermostats from Vivint allows users to change home temperatures from anywhere and program customized heating/cooling schedules. These thermostats rely on occupancy sensing technology to switch temperatures when the occupants are not at home. The Vivint Sky application is another popular feature with the ability to control and monitor thermostats.
Lighting Control Vivint also provides in-wall switchable lamps and sockets that can be controlled through the Vivint Sky application and home automation features. Users can have schedules, timers, rules, and even voice control in the lighting of different rooms depending on their preference.
Mobile Apps User interface for Vivint smart home is available on Android and iOS applications which are the primary methods by which the users can manage and monitor their smart homes in real time from any location. These are the apps that allow you to monitor video doorbell streams, security cameras, the status of the system, and the controls for the home automation system and many others.
Voice Assistants Vivint can also be customized to work with voice-activated and command systems such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Voice commands make it possible for users to monitor doorbell cameras, manage home locks, control lights, regulate temperature through thermostats, set or unset security systems, and many others via compatible voice assistant devices.
Cloud Storage The videos captured by the Vivint security cameras and video doorbells are stored in the cloud for a customer’s convenience. This saves against loss through failure of local storage and affords easy retrieval of clips as and when they are required. Cloud storage also makes it possible to access the data anytime since it is stored remotely from the local network.
Advanced Analytics This system is well adaptable to the cloud-based platforms whereby through A. I. algorithms and behavioral analysis, Vivint can learn usage patterns in the home. Instead, this home intelligence helps it offer meaningful suggestions about routines, notifications, and automation rules for enhanced living.

The Sky Control Panel sends alerts through cellular or broadband connections to the central monitoring stations of Vivint that can interpret events and alerts and contact emergency services if needed.
