Cameras are a vital element of your home’s security. To make sure you select the right system, you need to figure out how you would like your system to store video. Some Los Angeles households are okay with event-based clips stored in the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like on-premises storage and 24-7 recording, you’ll need to explore other alternatives.

If you never want to miss a thing, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent option. Learn more about this service and why it’s an important add-on to your Los Angeles home security.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional feature that gives you up to 10 days of 24-hour recording. It gives you all the footage you need and quite a bit more. Here are several of the key features:

  • Vivint Playback supports up to 12 cameras
  • Event-triggered markers allow you to find and share critical moments efficiently
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards inside your cameras and is simple to access with the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback is designed for the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you gain bonuses like upgraded video doorbell chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of round-the-clock recording are achievable through Vivint’s advanced firmware and high-compression methods. You get the on-premises storage you want, without needing to purchase a separate hard drive.

Vivint sets the standard for smart home camera innovation

Built-in storage and continuous recording are examples of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home field. Picture yourself gaining access to 24-hour footage and creating clips to share with family or the authorities directly from your smartphone. It’s possible with Vivint, but that’s not all. 

Families appreciate Vivint cameras for many reasons, including:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively prevent theft. If a prowler gets too close, a red LED light and alarm will engage.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your outside camera with a potent spotlight that actively follows strangers. Customize with your preference of emergency light displays or simply use it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR detection. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 utilizes RADAR to locate people and their distance to your cars and home.
  • Impressive zoom. Take a closer look without sacrificing the image quality. Vivint’s exterior camera with a 4K sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
