Surveillance cameras are a vital aspect of your home’s defense. To make sure you select the right system, you need to decide how you would like your system to record and save footage. Some Fort Collins households are fine with movement-activated clips saved in the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like on-premises storage and 24-7 recording, you must investigate other alternatives.

If you don’t want any gaps in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding choice. Explore this service and why it’s a worthwhile enhancement to your Fort Collins smart home.

What’s Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is a supplemental feature that offers as much as 10 days of 24/7 recording. You’ll get all the footage you want with a few more bonuses. Here are key features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-activated markers let you search and share the most important moments quickly
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards within your cameras and is easily 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 choosing Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to extras like upgraded doorbell camera chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of round-the-clock recording are made possible through Vivint’s proprietary firmware and video-compression techniques. You get the local storage you want, without needing to buy an additional hardware component.

Vivint sets the standard for smart home cameras

On-camera storage and continuous recording are evidence of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home field. Imagine enjoying access to 24-hour footage and making clips to share with family or the authorities right from your smartphone. It’s all possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Families prefer Vivint cameras for many reasons, including:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively deter theft. If an intruder gets too close, a red LED light ring and alarm will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can equip your outside camera with a brilliant spotlight that actually tracks trespassers. Personalize it with different emergency light patterns or just use it to shed light on your property.
  • RADAR functionality. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 utilizes RADAR to better locate individuals on your property and their proximity to your vehicles and home.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Take a closer look without losing the picture clarity. Vivint’s outdoor camera with a 4K sensor supports 5.3x digital zoom.
