Cameras are a critical aspect of your home’s security. To make sure you choose the best system for your household, you need to determine how you would like your system to store video. Some Cedar Rapids families are satisfied with motion-triggered clips uploaded to the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like local storage and 24-hour recording, you must look into different options.

If you never want to miss a thing, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent solution. Explore this feature and why it’s a worthwhile addition to your Cedar Rapids home security system.

What’s Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional service that gives you up to 10 days of round-the-clock recording. You’ll have all the video you could ask for with a few additional bonuses. Here are several of the top features:

  • Vivint Playback supports up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers enable you to find and share important moments efficiently
  • Footage is kept on SD cards inside your cameras and is easily accessible with the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Doorbell Camera Pro 2, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When choosing Vivint Playback DVR, you gain extras like indoor camera sound detection and enhanced doorbell camera chimes  

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

Vivint sets the standard for smart home camera innovation

On-camera storage and 24-hour recording are examples of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home industry. Imagine gaining access to round-the-clock footage and creating clips to share with family members or the authorities straight from your mobile device. It’s possible with Vivint, but there’s more. 

Families favor Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively deter crime. If an intruder comes too close, a bright LED light ring and alarm will trigger.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your exterior camera with a powerful spotlight that actually tracks trespassers. Personalize it with your preference of emergency light modes or simply use it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR detection. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 utilizes RADAR to better locate trespassers on your property and their distance to your cars and home.
  • Zoom capabilities. Take a closer look without losing the image quality. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a high-definition sensor supports 5.3x digital zoom.
