Video cameras are a vital aspect of your home’s security. To make sure you select the ideal system, you need to figure out how you want your system to store video. Some Long Island households are fine with movement-activated clips uploaded to the cloud. But if you need more, like 24-hour recording and on-premises storage, you must explore other options.

If you never want to miss a moment, Vivint Playback DVR is an exceptional solution. Explore this system and why it’s an important addition to your Long Island home security system.

What is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is a supplemental feature that gives you as much as 10 days of 24-hour recording. It gives you all the footage you want and much more. Here are top features:

  • Vivint Playback works with up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers enable you to easily search and share the most important moments
  • Footage is kept on SD cards built into your cameras and is simply accessible via the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Doorbell Camera Pro 2, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When opting for Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to bonuses like upgraded video doorbell chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of 24/7 continuous recording are possible through Vivint’s advanced firmware and video-compression techniques. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to purchase another piece of hardware.

Vivint stands at the forefront of smart home camera innovation

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

Customers prefer Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Choose cameras that actively discourage criminal activity. If a stranger ventures near your house or car, an audible alarm and glowing LED light ring will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outside camera with a powerful spotlight that actively follows intruders. Customize with your preference of emergency light displays or adapt it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR detection. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to pinpoint trespassers on your property and their proximity to your vehicles and home.
  • Impressive zoom. You can take a closer look without sacrificing the image quality. Vivint’s exterior camera with a high-definition sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
