Video cameras are an essential element of your home’s protection. To make sure you select the right system, you need to determine how you would like your system to store video. Some Auburn households are satisfied with event-based clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like 24/7 continuous recording and local storage, you must investigate other alternatives.

If you never want to miss anything, Vivint Playback DVR is an exceptional solution. Find out more about this feature and why it’s an important addition to your Auburn home security.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an add-on feature that provides as much as 10 days of 24-hour recording. You’ll enjoy all the video you want with a few additional bonuses. Here are some of the top features:

  • Vivint Playback works with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-activated markers allow you to easily search and share critical moments
  • Footage is saved on SD cards inside your cameras and is easy to access through the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Doorbell Camera Pro 2, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you unlock extras like enhanced video doorbell chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of round-the-clock recording are achievable through Vivint’s specialized firmware and high-compression processes. You get the on-site storage you want, without needing to get a separate piece of hardware.

Vivint stands at the forefront of smart home surveillance

Local camera storage and 24-hour recording are further proof of how Vivint leads the smart home field. Picture yourself getting access to round-the-clock footage and creating clips to share with family members or the authorities directly from your smartphone. It’s all possible with Vivint, but there’s more. 

Families prefer Vivint cameras for the following reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Choose cameras that actively prevent criminal activity. If a stranger ventures near your house or car, a bright LED light and alarm will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can equip your outside camera with a brilliant spotlight that actually tracks intruders. Personalize it with your choice of emergency light patterns or simply use it to shed light on your property.
  • RADAR functionality. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to pinpoint individuals on your property and their proximity to your cars and home.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Take a closer look without sacrificing the video quality. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a high-definition sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
