Cameras are an essential part of your home’s protection. To ensure you get the right system, you need to figure out how you would like your system to store footage. Some Lincoln households are fine with motion-triggered clips uploaded to the cloud. But if you need more, like 24-hour recording and local storage, you should investigate other alternatives.

If you want total coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent choice. Learn more about this feature and why it’s a valuable addition to your Lincoln home security system.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an add-on feature that offers up to 10 days of 24-hour recording. It gives you all the footage you seek and much more. Here are several of the top features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers allow you to locate and share important moments quickly
  • Footage is kept on SD cards built into your cameras and is easy to access with the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you unlock features like enhanced doorbell camera chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of 24/7 recording are made possible through Vivint’s specialized firmware and efficient compression techniques. You get the local storage you want, without having to purchase an additional piece of hardware.

Vivint leads the way in smart home camera innovation

The 24-7 recording capability and on-camera storage are examples of Vivint’s leadership in the smart home industry. Imagine gaining access to round-the-clock footage and generating clips to share with family or the authorities straight from your mobile device. It’s all possible with Vivint, but that’s not all. 

Families appreciate Vivint cameras for the following reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively discourage theft. If an intruder ventures near your house or car, an audible alarm and bright LED light will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your outside camera with a powerful spotlight that actually tracks strangers. Customize with different emergency light displays or adapt it to brighten your property.
  • RADAR functionality. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to better locate trespassers and their proximity to your cars and home.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Get a closer look without compromising the picture clarity. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a 4K sensor supports 5.3x digital zoom.
