Cameras are an essential aspect of your home’s security. To make sure you select the right system, you need to determine how you want your system to store video. Some Greenville homeowners are okay with movement-activated clips saved in the cloud. But if you want more, like on-premises storage and 24-hour recording, you’ll need to look into other alternatives.

If you don’t want any gaps in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an exceptional solution. Explore this feature and why it’s a valuable enhancement to your Greenville smart home.

What’s Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional solution that provides as much as 10 days of 24-hour recording. It gives you all the footage you need and much more. Here are standout features:

  • Vivint Playback works with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-activated markers allow you to search and share critical moments quickly
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards inside your cameras and is simple to access via the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback is designed for the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When opting for Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to bonuses like enhanced doorbell camera chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of 24/7 recording are possible through Vivint’s advanced firmware and video-compression methods. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to purchase a separate piece of hardware.

Vivint leads the way in smart home cameras

Built-in storage and continuous recording are further proof of Vivint’s leadership in the smart home industry. Imagine getting access to round-the-clock footage and creating clips to share with immediate family or the authorities straight from your mobile device. It’s all possible with Vivint, but that’s not all. 

Homeowners appreciate Vivint cameras for many reasons, including:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively discourage criminal activity. If a prowler comes too close, an audible alarm and red LED light will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your outside camera with a potent spotlight that actually tracks trespassers. Customize with your choice of emergency light modes or just use it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR capabilities. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to pinpoint people and their distance to your vehicles and home.
  • Zoom capabilities. Take a closer look without losing the picture clarity. Vivint’s outdoor camera with a high-resolution sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
