Surveillance cameras are a critical part of your home’s defense. To make sure you choose the best system for your household, you need to determine how you would like your system to store video. Some Lafayette households are okay with event-based clips saved in the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like 24-hour recording and local storage, you should explore other options.

If you don’t want any lapses in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent choice. Find out more about this feature and why it’s a valuable enhancement to your Lafayette home security system.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is a supplemental feature that gives you up to 10 days of 24-hour recording. It gives you all the footage you need and quite a bit more. Here are some of the top features:

  • Vivint Playback works with up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers allow you to easily locate and share important moments
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards built into your cameras and is simple to access through the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback is designed for the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you gain features like upgraded video doorbell chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of 24/7 recording are made possible through Vivint’s proprietary firmware and efficient compression techniques. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to get another hard drive.

Vivint stands at the forefront of smart home cameras

Local camera storage and 24-7 recording are examples of how Vivint leads the smart home field. Imagine enjoying access to 24-hour footage and making clips to share with immediate family or the authorities directly from your smartphone. It’s possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Homeowners prefer Vivint cameras for the following reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively discourage crime. If a prowler comes too close, a red LED light and alarm will trigger.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your exterior camera with a brilliant spotlight that actively follows strangers. Customize with your choice of emergency light displays or adapt it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR detection. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to pinpoint trespassers and their proximity to your home and vehicles.
  • Zoom capabilities. You can take a closer look without compromising the picture clarity. Vivint’s exterior camera with a high-resolution sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
