Cameras are a critical aspect of your home’s defense. To make sure you choose the right system, you need to determine how you would like your system to record and save footage. Some Dayton households are fine with motion-triggered clips saved in the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like on-site storage and 24-hour recording, you’ll need to look into other options.

If you never want to miss a thing, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent option. Learn more about this system and why it’s an important enhancement to your Dayton home security.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is a supplemental service that offers up to 10 days of 24/7 recording. It gives you all the footage you need and quite a bit more. Here are some of the key features:

  • Vivint Playback supports up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers enable you to search and share the most important moments easily
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards inside your cameras and is effortlessly accessible via the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Indoor Camera Pro, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Doorbell Camera Pro 2
  • When choosing Vivint Playback DVR, you unlock bonuses like indoor camera sound detection and enhanced doorbell camera chimes  

The 10 days of round-the-clock recording are made possible through Vivint’s advanced firmware and high-compression techniques. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to get another hardware component.

Vivint leads the way in smart home surveillance

The 24-hour recording option and built-in storage are evidence of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home industry. Imagine getting access to 24/7 footage and making clips to share with immediate family or the authorities directly from your smartphone. It’s a reality with Vivint, but that’s not all. 

Customers prefer Vivint cameras for many reasons, including:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively deter crime. If a stranger gets too close, an audible alarm and bright LED light will trigger.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outside camera with a powerful spotlight that actively tracks intruders. Personalize it with your preference of emergency light displays or just use it to shed light on your property.
  • RADAR capabilities. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 utilizes RADAR to locate individuals on your property and their distance to your vehicles and home.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Get a closer look without sacrificing the image quality. Vivint’s outdoor camera with a high-definition sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
