Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro Privacy Report

It’s never a good thing when a product like Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro turns out to be vulnerable to hackers. Vivint has taken steps to correct the problem, but that history still makes us uncomfortable. In addition, they collect information like our social security numbers and our IP addresses and offer no way to delete it. We do like their two-step verification process and the encryption protocols, but they still have some work to do if they want to improve their privacy score.
