Cameras are a vital part of your home’s security. To ensure you choose the best system for your household, you need to figure out how you would like your system to record and save footage. Some Napa households are satisfied with movement-activated clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like local storage and 24-7 recording, you’ll need to look into different options.

If you don’t want any lapses in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an exceptional choice. Learn more about this service and why it’s an important enhancement to your Napa home security.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional solution that provides as much as 10 days of 24-hour recording. You’ll have all the video you could ask for with a few more advantages. Here are standout features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-activated markers allow you to easily find and share critical moments
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards within your cameras and is simply retrievable via the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Doorbell Camera Pro 2, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When choosing Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to extras like indoor camera sound detection and premium video doorbell chimes  

The 10 days of round-the-clock recording are achievable through Vivint’s proprietary firmware and efficient compression techniques. You get the on-site storage you want, without needing to purchase an additional storage device.

Vivint leads the way in smart home cameras

The 24-hour recording capability and on-camera storage are examples of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home industry. Envision getting access to 24-hour footage and creating clips to share with family or the authorities straight from your mobile device. It’s all possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Families prefer Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively discourage crime. If a stranger gets too close, an audible alarm and red LED light ring will engage.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your exterior camera with a potent spotlight that actively tracks strangers. Personalize it with your choice of emergency light patterns or just use it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR functionality. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to better locate trespassers on your property and their proximity to your cars and home.
  • 5.3x Zoom. You can take a closer look without losing the video quality. Vivint’s outdoor camera with a high-definition sensor supports 5.3x digital zoom.
