Cameras are a vital element of your home’s protection. To ensure you select the right system, you need to decide how you would like your system to store footage. Some Bend homeowners are okay with motion-triggered clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like on-site storage and round-the-clock recording, you’ll need to investigate other alternatives.

If you don’t want any gaps in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding choice. Explore this system and why it’s a valuable enhancement to your Bend home security system.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional solution that offers up to 10 days of 24/7 recording. It gives you all the footage you want and quite a bit more. Here are some of the key features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-triggered markers enable you to easily find and share critical moments
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards within your cameras and is effortless to access through the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When opting for Vivint Playback DVR, you unlock bonuses like indoor camera sound detection and upgraded video doorbell chimes  

The 10 days of 24-hour continuous recording are made possible through Vivint’s proprietary firmware and efficient compression processes. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to purchase another hardware component.

Vivint sets the standard for smart home cameras

Local camera storage and 24-hour recording are examples of Vivint’s leadership in the smart home field. Imagine getting access to 24-hour footage and generating clips to share with family or the authorities right from your smartphone. It’s a reality with Vivint, but that’s not all. 

Customers prefer Vivint cameras for many reasons, including:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively deter theft. If a stranger gets too close, a bright LED light and alarm will engage.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your exterior camera with a brilliant spotlight that actively follows trespassers. Customize with different emergency light patterns or adapt it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR functionality. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to locate trespassers on your property and their distance to your home and vehicles.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Take a closer look without compromising the video quality. Vivint’s exterior camera with a high-resolution sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
