Video cameras are an essential aspect of your home’s defense. To make sure you select the right system, you need to determine how you would like your system to store footage. Some Missoula households are fine with movement-activated clips stored in the cloud. But if you want more, like on-premises storage and 24-hour recording, you should look into different options.

If you don’t want any gaps in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent choice. Find out more about this service and why it’s a valuable addition to your Missoula home security.

What’s Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is a supplemental solution that gives you as much as 10 days of 24-hour recording. You’ll have all the footage you need with a few more bonuses. Here are top features:

  • Vivint Playback works with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-activated markers allow you to locate and share the most important moments easily
  • Footage is kept on SD cards built into your cameras and is easy to access through the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback is compatible with the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When choosing Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to bonuses like enhanced video doorbell chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of 24-hour recording are possible through Vivint’s specialized firmware and efficient compression processes. You get the on-site storage you want, without having to buy an additional hardware component.

Vivint leads the way in smart home surveillance

The 24-hour recording option and on-camera storage are evidence of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home industry. Imagine getting access to 24/7 footage and making clips to share with family members or the authorities straight from your smartphone. It’s all possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Homeowners appreciate Vivint cameras for many reasons, including:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively deter theft. If an intruder comes too close, a glowing LED light ring and alarm will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your outdoor camera with a potent spotlight that actively follows trespassers. Personalize it with your preference of emergency light modes or adapt it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR functionality. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to pinpoint trespassers and their distance to your vehicles and home.
  • Zoom capabilities. Take a closer look without compromising the video quality. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a 4K sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
