Video cameras are a critical aspect of your home’s defense. To ensure you get the right system, you need to decide how you want your system to store video. Some Orange County homeowners are fine with motion-triggered clips stored in the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like 24/7 recording and local storage, you must look into other alternatives.

If you never want to miss anything, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding option. Find out more about this service and why it’s a valuable add-on to your Orange County smart home.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is a supplemental feature that provides as much as 10 days of 24-hour recording. You’ll get all the video you could ask for with a few more bonuses. Here are some of the standout features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers enable you to quickly find and share important moments
  • Footage is kept on SD cards inside your cameras and is effortless to access through the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Doorbell Camera Pro 2, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When opting for Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to bonuses like enhanced video doorbell chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of 24/7 recording are made possible through Vivint’s proprietary firmware and video-compression techniques. You get the local storage you want, without having to buy a separate hard drive.

Vivint sets the standard for smart home surveillance

Built-in storage and continuous recording are further proof of how Vivint leads the smart home industry. Imagine enjoying access to round-the-clock footage and making clips to share with family or the authorities right from your smartphone. It’s all possible with Vivint, but that’s not all. 

Homeowners prefer Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Choose cameras that actively deter criminal activity. If a stranger ventures near your house or car, a glowing LED light ring and alarm will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can equip your exterior camera with a brilliant spotlight that actively tracks strangers. Personalize it with your preference of emergency light modes or just use it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR functionality. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to locate people and their proximity to your vehicles and home.
  • Impressive zoom. Take a closer look without sacrificing the picture clarity. Vivint’s exterior camera with a high-definition sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
