Cameras are a vital element of your home’s protection. To make sure you select the right system, you need to figure out how you want your system to store video. Some Utica families are okay with motion-triggered clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like 24-hour recording and local storage, you should explore different options.

If you want total coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent solution. Find out more about this system and why it’s a worthwhile enhancement to your Utica home security.

What is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an add-on solution that provides up to 10 days of round-the-clock recording. You’ll have all the video you want with a few more perks. Here are several of the top features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers enable you to efficiently search and share critical moments
  • Footage is saved on SD cards built into your cameras and is effortlessly accessible with 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 gain bonuses like indoor camera sound detection and premium doorbell camera chimes  

The 10 days of round-the-clock continuous 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 cameras

On-camera storage and continuous recording are examples of Vivint’s leadership in the smart home field. Picture yourself enjoying access to 24/7 footage and making clips to share with family members or the authorities directly from your smartphone. It’s a reality with Vivint, but there’s more. 

Customers prefer Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Choose cameras that actively prevent criminal activity. If a prowler gets too close, an audible alarm and glowing LED light will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your exterior camera with a potent spotlight that actively follows trespassers. Customize with your preference of emergency light patterns or just use it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR functionality. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to better locate people and their proximity to your home and vehicles.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Take a closer look without losing the image quality. Vivint’s exterior camera with a high-definition sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
