Surveillance cameras are an essential aspect of your home’s defense. To make sure you get the best system for your household, you need to figure out how you want your system to record and save footage. Some Milwaukee families are fine with event-based clips uploaded to the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like round-the-clock recording and on-premises storage, you must investigate different options.

If you want total coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent choice. Explore this service and why it’s a valuable enhancement to your Milwaukee home security.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an optional service that provides as much as 10 days of 24/7 recording. You’ll get all the video you could ask for with a few extra bonuses. Here are top features:

  • Vivint Playback supports up to 12 cameras
  • Activity-triggered markers allow you to search and share important moments quickly
  • Footage is saved on SD cards within your cameras and is effortless to access with the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback is designed for the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to extras like indoor camera sound detection and enhanced doorbell camera chimes  

The 10 days of 24/7 continuous recording are made possible through Vivint’s advanced firmware and high-compression processes. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to get an additional piece of hardware.

Vivint leads the way in smart home camera innovation

Built-in storage and 24-7 recording are examples of Vivint’s leadership in the smart home field. Imagine gaining access to round-the-clock footage and making clips to share with family or the authorities straight from your smartphone. It’s all possible with Vivint, but you’ll get much more. 

Homeowners appreciate Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Choose cameras that actively deter crime. If an intruder comes too close, a glowing LED light and alarm will engage.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outside camera with a powerful spotlight that actively follows trespassers. Personalize it with your preference of emergency light patterns or just use it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR capabilities. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 leverages RADAR to pinpoint people and their distance to your vehicles and home.
  • 5.3x Zoom. Get a closer look without compromising the video quality. Vivint’s exterior camera with a 4K sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
