Ping gives you a crystal-clear view of your home. Crisp, high-definition video catches every detail while a wide-angle lens opens up entire rooms. Advanced image technology lets you see what you want to see, day or night. It’s the next best thing to being there.
See what’s been happening at home, at your convenience. When someone moves into Ping’s field of view, motion detection activates recording of 20-second Smart Clips you can watch on-demand through your mobile device or Smart Hub panel. Plus, you can choose a specific area for motion detection and set the camera to be more or less sensitive to movement.
Two-way talk gives you a direct connection to home from your mobile device. Check in any time to see to see if your kids are staying out of mischief, if they’re doing their homework, or just to say, “hi.” And your loved ones can easily reach you, too.
Kids wandering the house after bedtime. Pets that go bump in the night. Life doesn’t stop when the lights go out. But don’t get out of bed. Ping’s infrared night vision watches over your home from dusk to dawn so you can rest easy.
Our Vivint Playback DVR service records a full month of indoor camera footage. Watch clips on your mobile device or Vivint Smart Hub panel, and share important moments with friends and family. From capturing baby’s first steps to figuring out who's been raiding the pantry, Playback makes sure you never miss a thing.
Set Ping cameras by the front and back doors to function as motion-activated security cameras that automatically record a clip when the alarm goes off.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I set up recording rules for my Ping camera?
Set up your recording schedules online here.
What do I do if my recording schedules aren’t working?
If your Ping camera’s schedules are not working, make sure your camera is functioning and the light on the front of the camera is a solid white. Next, check to make sure your schedules are turned on in the “recording schedules” section for your cameras. If the schedules still aren’t working after taking those steps, you may need to delete and recreate your recording schedules.
What is privacy mode?
Privacy mode allows you to temporarily disable your camera’s remote viewing and recording capabilities. While in privacy mode, your camera will display a blue screen on your online account and mobile app.
What if my Ping camera isn’t showing up on my online account or my phone?
Go to the cameras section in your online account center under Custom Actions. If you can’t see any cameras listed, contact our Customer Care team via chat for assistance. If you can see cameras listed there but not on your mobile app, log out and sign in again. The camera should then be visible.
Can I install a new camera or move my old one?
A Vivint Smart Home Professional will install and position your Vivint Ping Cameras as part of your smart home package. After the initial installation, you can move your Ping cameras wherever you like. If you decide to make changes yourself, we suggest you pay special attention to these four points:
- Camera height — Mount or position cameras according to your preference to catch the action you want to see.
- Signal strength — Make sure camera placement is within your WiFi range.
- Power supply routing — The closer to the power source, the better.
- Mounting — Ensure a secure attachment.
