Surveillance cameras are a critical part of your home’s security. To make sure you get the right system, you need to determine how you want your system to store video. Some Fort Worth homeowners are okay with movement-activated clips saved in the cloud. But if you want more, like 24/7 continuous recording and on-premises storage, you’ll need to look into different options.

If you don’t want any gaps in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an exceptional option. Find out more about this service and why it’s a worthwhile enhancement to your Fort Worth smart home.

What’s Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional feature that provides up to 10 days of 24/7 recording. It gives you all the video you seek and quite a bit more. Here are key features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-triggered markers allow you to quickly search and share critical moments
  • Footage is saved on SD cards within your cameras and is simply accessible through the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback is compatible with the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, 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 proprietary firmware and high-compression methods. You get the on-site storage you want, without needing to buy a separate hard drive.

Vivint sets the standard for smart home surveillance

The 24-hour recording option and on-camera storage are evidence of how Vivint leads the smart home marketplace. Picture yourself enjoying access to 24-hour footage and generating clips to share with family or the authorities right from your mobile device. It’s all possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Customers appreciate Vivint cameras for many reasons, including:

  • Smart Deter. Choose cameras that actively prevent theft. If a prowler comes too close, a glowing LED light ring and alarm will engage.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outdoor camera with a powerful spotlight that actively follows intruders. Personalize it with different emergency light displays or adapt it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR functionality. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to better locate individuals and their proximity to your home and vehicles.
  • Zoom capabilities. Take a closer look without losing the image quality. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a high-resolution sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
