Cameras are an essential element of your home’s defense. To make sure you choose the best system for your household, you need to decide how you want your system to store video. Some Lexington families are satisfied with movement-activated clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like round-the-clock recording and local storage, you must explore other alternatives.

If you never want to miss anything, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding solution. Explore this service and why it’s an important addition to your Lexington home security system.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional service that offers as much as 10 days of round-the-clock recording. You’ll have all the footage you want with a few extra bonuses. Here are key features:

  • Vivint Playback works with up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers enable you to search and share the most important moments easily
  • Footage is saved on SD cards within your cameras and is simple to access via the Vivint mobile 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 unlock bonuses like upgraded doorbell camera chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of round-the-clock continuous recording are possible through Vivint’s proprietary firmware and efficient compression methods. You get the local storage you want, without having to get an additional hard drive.

Vivint sets the standard for smart home surveillance

Built-in storage and 24-hour recording are examples of how Vivint continues to lead the smart home field. Imagine enjoying access to 24-hour footage and making clips to share with immediate family or the authorities straight from your smartphone. It’s possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Families prefer Vivint cameras for the following reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Select cameras that actively deter theft. If a prowler comes too close, an audible alarm and red LED light ring will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can equip your outside camera with a potent spotlight that actively tracks strangers. Personalize it with your choice of emergency light modes or just use it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR functionality. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to pinpoint trespassers and their distance to your cars and home.
  • Zoom capabilities. Get a closer look without compromising the video quality. Vivint’s outdoor camera with a 4K sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
