Cameras are a critical aspect of your home’s defense. To ensure you get the best system for your household, you need to determine how you would like your system to store footage. Some Rockford households are satisfied with motion-triggered clips uploaded to the cloud. But if you need more, like 24-hour continuous recording and on-site storage, you must look into other options.

If you want total coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent solution. Learn more about this feature and why it’s a worthwhile add-on to your Rockford smart home.

What’s Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional solution that gives you as much as 10 days of round-the-clock recording. You’ll have all the footage you need with a few more advantages. Here are key features:

  • Vivint Playback works with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-triggered markers allow you to quickly search and share important moments
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards built into your cameras and is effortless to access through the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback is compatible with the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When opting for Vivint Playback DVR, you gain extras like indoor camera sound detection and premium doorbell camera chimes  

The 10 days of 24/7 continuous recording are achievable through Vivint’s specialized firmware and video-compression processes. You get the local storage you want, without needing to get a separate hardware component.

Vivint stands at the forefront of smart home cameras

The continuous recording option and built-in storage are further proof of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home marketplace. Picture yourself gaining access to 24/7 footage and creating clips to share with family members or the authorities directly from your phone. It’s a reality with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Families prefer Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively deter crime. If a prowler gets too close, an audible alarm and bright LED light will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outdoor camera with a powerful spotlight that actually tracks trespassers. Customize with your choice of emergency light patterns or simply use it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR detection. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to better locate individuals on your property and their distance to your vehicles and home.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Get a closer look without compromising the video quality. Vivint’s outdoor camera with a high-definition sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
