Video cameras are an essential part of your home’s security. To make sure you select the best system for your household, you need to decide how you would like your system to store video. Some Gainesville homeowners are okay with motion-triggered clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like 24/7 recording and local storage, you’ll need to investigate other alternatives.

If you don’t want any gaps in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding choice. Find out more about this service and why it’s an important addition to your Gainesville home security system.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an add-on feature that provides up to 10 days of round-the-clock recording. You’ll get all the footage you could ask for with a few extra perks. Here are some of the key features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-activated markers enable you to search and share critical moments quickly
  • Footage is saved on SD cards built into your cameras and is simply retrievable via the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback is compatible with the Doorbell Camera Pro 2, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to bonuses like upgraded video doorbell chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of round-the-clock continuous recording are possible through Vivint’s advanced firmware and efficient compression processes. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to buy a separate hard drive.

Vivint stands at the forefront of smart home camera innovation

On-camera storage and 24-hour recording are further proof of Vivint’s leadership in the smart home marketplace. Picture yourself enjoying access to 24/7 footage and generating clips to share with immediate family or the authorities right from your smartphone. It’s a reality with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Homeowners prefer Vivint cameras for the following reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively discourage criminal activity. If a stranger gets too close, an audible alarm and glowing LED light ring will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your exterior camera with a brilliant spotlight that actively tracks strangers. Customize with your choice of emergency light modes or adapt it to shed light on your property.
  • RADAR functionality. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to pinpoint trespassers on your property and their proximity to your home and vehicles.
  • Impressive zoom. You can take a closer look without losing the picture clarity. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a 4K sensor supports 5.3x digital zoom.
