Surveillance cameras are a vital aspect of your home’s defense. To make sure you get the right system, you need to determine how you would like your system to record and save footage. Some Amarillo families are fine with movement-activated clips stored in the cloud. But if you want more, like 24-hour recording and local storage, you’ll need to look into other alternatives.

If you want total coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding choice. Explore this system and why it’s a worthwhile enhancement to your Amarillo home security.

What’s Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an add-on feature that gives you up to 10 days of 24/7 recording. It gives you all the video you want and much more. Here are some of the top features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-triggered markers enable you to find and share the most important moments quickly
  • Footage is saved on SD cards inside your cameras and is simply accessible with the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback is designed for the Indoor Camera Pro, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Doorbell Camera Pro 2
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you gain extras like premium doorbell camera chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

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

Vivint leads the way in smart home camera innovation

Local camera storage and 24-7 recording are evidence of Vivint’s leadership in the smart home marketplace. Imagine gaining access to 24/7 footage and making clips to share with family or the authorities directly from your mobile device. It’s possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Homeowners favor Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively prevent crime. If an intruder gets too close, an audible alarm and glowing LED light ring will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outdoor camera with a powerful spotlight that actively tracks strangers. Customize with your preference of emergency light patterns or just use it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR capabilities. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to pinpoint individuals and their distance to your vehicles and home.
  • Zoom capabilities. Get a closer look without losing the picture clarity. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a 4K sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
