Many businesses rely on locks and hope. Vivint delivers complete visibility. Our security cameras for businesses cover every angle—from parking lots and entry points to sales floors and back rooms—so you can deter theft, monitor operations remotely, and respond to incidents in real time.
Professional security cameras deliver four critical business outcomes that locks and alarms alone cannot provide.
Visible cameras at perimeters, parking lots, back doors, and entry points actively deter criminal activity. When incidents do occur, timestamped HD footage provides irrefutable evidence for investigations and insurance claims.
Monitor customer areas, cash registers, inventory rooms, and sensitive spaces remotely. Know what's happening across your business even when you're not on-site. Respond to situations in real time, not hours later.
Link cameras with motion sensors, glass-break detectors, and door/window sensors. When a sensor triggers, cameras automatically start recording and send alerts to your phone and monitoring center. No blind spots, no delayed reactions.
Search footage by date, time, and camera location. Quickly resolve disputes (customer complaints, employee incidents, vendor deliveries), verify events, and provide evidence to authorities or insurance adjusters without digging through hours of video.
Whether you run a retail store, restaurant, medical practice, or professional office, Vivint delivers camera coverage designed for your industry's unique security needs.
Every Vivint camera and sensor works together as part of one unified system. Here's what each product does and how it protects your business.

Vivint's in-house monitoring center answers alerts in an average of 8 seconds—dramatically faster than industry norms. Trained security specialists monitor your system around the clock and contact you or dispatch authorities the moment an alert triggers. You focus on running your business. We focus on protecting it.
Every business is different. Vivint customizes your security system based on your industry, facility size, and specific vulnerabilities. Start with essential coverage and scale as your business grows—single location to multi-site operations. No oversized packages forcing you to pay for equipment you don't need.
Vivint cameras, sensors, smart locks, and alarms work together seamlessly in one ecosystem. Create custom automation: door sensor triggers camera recording and sends alerts. Glass breaks? Cameras start recording and monitoring is notified instantly. Manage everything from one app—no juggling multiple systems, vendors, or platforms.
Vivint-certified technicians conduct a thorough site assessment, determine optimal camera placement for maximum coverage, and handle all installation and network setup. We position cameras for the best angles, proper lighting, and minimal blind spots. You get professional results from day one with ongoing technical support included.
How many cameras do I need for a store / restaurant / clinic?
The number of cameras depends on your facility size, layout, entry points, and what you need to monitor. As a general guideline, most small businesses (under 2,000 sq ft) need 4-8 cameras covering entrances, exits, main customer/work areas, and cash handling zones. Larger facilities or businesses with multiple buildings, parking lots, or high-value inventory may need 10-20+ cameras for complete coverage.
Vivint provides a free site assessment to determine the optimal number and placement of cameras for your specific business, ensuring no blind spots and maximum protection within your budget.

Can outdoor cameras record in low light or at night?
Yes, Vivint's Outdoor Camera Pro features advanced night vision technology that captures clear footage even in complete darkness. The camera uses infrared sensors to illuminate the area without visible light, recording detailed video 24/7 regardless of lighting conditions. When motion is detected at night, the camera can also activate a bright LED light to deter intruders and capture color footage rather than black-and-white infrared.
What happens if power is lost or the network fails?
Vivint systems include backup protections to keep your business secure during power outages or internet disruptions. The main control panel has a battery backup that keeps sensors and alarms functioning even without power. While cameras require power to record, the system will send alerts about the power loss to you and the monitoring center, ensuring someone is aware of the situation. When power and connectivity are restored, the system automatically reconnects and resumes regular operation.
For businesses that require uninterrupted camera recording during outages, we recommend battery backup or cellular backup solutions.
How long is video stored in the cloud?
Video footage is stored securely in the cloud and is typically accessible for 30 days, though longer retention periods are available with upgraded storage plans. You can review, download, or share footage at any time during the retention period in the Vivint app. If you need to save specific clips permanently (for legal cases, insurance claims, or incident documentation), you can download and store them locally as needed.
Can I review footage after an event?
Absolutely. The Vivint app lets you search recorded footage by date, time, and specific camera, making it easy to find the exact moment you need to review. You can watch playback on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, and download or share clips with employees, insurance adjusters, or law enforcement as needed. The search functionality is intuitive—no more scrubbing through hours of video to find a 30-second incident.
Can cameras integrate with alarms, sensors, and locks?
Yes, full integration is one of Vivint's core strengths. Cameras work seamlessly with door/window sensors, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, smart locks, and alarm systems in one unified platform. You can create custom automation rules, such as "when back door opens after 10pm, start camera recording and send alert," or "when glass-break sensor triggers, sound alarm and notify monitoring center."
Everything is managed through a single app, eliminating the complexity of juggling multiple systems or vendors. This integration creates a smarter, more responsive security system that works harder for your business.
Why is a security system important for your business?
A professional security system protects your business from theft, vandalism, liability claims, and operational disruptions—threats that can cost thousands of dollars and damage your reputation. Visible cameras and sensors deter criminal activity before it happens, while 24/7 monitoring ensures rapid response when incidents occur.
Beyond security, camera systems help you monitor daily operations, verify employee performance, resolve customer disputes, and provide evidence for insurance claims. In today's business environment, comprehensive security isn't optional—it's essential for protecting your assets, your employees, and your livelihood.
