Protect your car in a smart way
Vivint’s smartphone app allows you to control your Car Guard and all home security devices from one convenient location. By integrating with your smart home, it brings you amazing features like vehicle tracking, towing and stealing alerts, and diagnostic updates for your car. The Vivint Car Guard is easy to install, plugging right into your vehicle’s existing OBD-II port, a small on-board computer that monitors important information about your car.
Control everything from a single app
By using the Vivint app, you can manage both home and car. Vivint Car Guard and your other security devices report all data directly to the app, allowing you to check in easily on your car and home any time you want. With both systems working together, you can set your home system to recognize when your car comes and goes. This way, your home security system can initiate scenes set up through the app to either arm or disarm the system and do things such as turn on the lights or lock the front door.
Diagnostic tool for your car
With Vivint Car Guard’s diagnostic tool, you can monitor the health and performance of your car. You receive reminders for routine maintenance and alerts for major mechanical issues. Car guard has access to over 10,000 diagnostic codes. Now when you pull up to the auto shop, you know exactly what is wrong and don’t have to just take their word for it, helping you feel more in control. That check engine light is looking a lot less scary and confusing. It will also tell you things such as how much gas you have left and what your battery life is looking like.
Alerts for activities related to your car
Have you ever found that your car has been hit, but the culprit was nowhere to be found? Or maybe your car got towed due to a parking issue. With Vivint Car Guard’s tamper alerts, you receive every notification whether your car is being hit, bumped, towed, moved, or even stolen. It opens up so many options for you as now you can take quick action, avoid the situation or file a claim against another driver. This way you’re not left to find a terrible surprise when you go to return to your car after a long day at work.
Always track your car
With GPS location tracking, you can check to see exactly where your car is every time you open the app. You also get a notification whenever your car moves. Every parent worries about their kids, especially when they start driving. Now you will always know when they are on their way home or if they really went to their friend’s house. It will also alert you of any erratic driving patterns like speeding or harsh braking.
Integration with your smart home
Parking your car in the driveway can be risky, but with the integration of Vivint Car Guard with your home security system, you will always find yourself in the safe zone. By integrating both these systems, you can configure your security settings for various features if your car is tampered with. If someone attempts to break into your vehicle, Car Guard will notify your home security system which will sound an alarm, flash bright lights and begin recording immediately to stop thieves in their tracks. For other situations, you can have a notification on your phone, so you can inform the authorities if required. In addition to security, the integration also brings you more convenience. For example, other Vivint smart devices can tell when your car is approaching and will automatically turn on the lights and unlock your front door.

It may not be able to prevent that fender bender, but it can alert you to any disturbances of your vehicle and give you a chance to run out there and stop it from being towed or broken into. And when your car is sitting at home in the driveway, it will work together with your home security to really keep your car safe.
