Video cameras are an essential element of your home’s security. To ensure you get the best system for your household, you need to figure out how you want your system to store video. Some Long Beach families are satisfied with event-based clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like 24-hour continuous recording and on-premises storage, you should investigate other options.

If you want complete coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an exceptional option. Explore this feature and why it’s a valuable addition to your Long Beach home security system.

What is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional service that offers as much as 10 days of 24-hour recording. It gives you all the footage you seek and much more. Here are several of the standout features:

  • Vivint Playback supports up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers allow you to quickly find and share critical moments
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards within your cameras and is simply retrievable through the Vivint smartphone 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 get access to bonuses like indoor camera sound detection and upgraded doorbell camera chimes  

The 10 days of round-the-clock recording are possible through Vivint’s specialized firmware and video-compression methods. You get the local storage you want, without having to buy a separate hardware component.

Vivint stands at the forefront of smart home cameras

Built-in storage and 24-7 recording are examples of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home industry. Picture yourself enjoying access to round-the-clock footage and creating clips to share with family or the authorities straight from your phone. It’s a reality with Vivint, but there’s more. 

Families appreciate Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively deter crime. If an intruder ventures near your house or car, a bright LED light ring and alarm will trigger.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outdoor camera with a potent spotlight that actively follows strangers. Customize with your preference of emergency light modes or simply use it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR detection. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 utilizes RADAR to better locate people and their distance to your cars and home.
