Video cameras are an essential part of your home’s protection. To make sure you get the best system for your household, you need to figure out how you want your system to store footage. Some Bakersfield households are fine with motion-triggered clips stored in the cloud. But if you want more, like on-premises storage and 24-hour recording, you’ll need to look into other alternatives.

If you don’t want any gaps in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding option. Explore this feature and why it’s a valuable enhancement to your Bakersfield smart home.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is a supplemental solution that offers up to 10 days of 24/7 recording. You’ll have all the footage you want with a few additional bonuses. Here are key features:

  • Vivint Playback supports up to 12 cameras
  • Event-triggered markers allow you to find and share important moments quickly
  • Footage is stored directly to SD cards within your cameras and is simple to access through the Vivint smartphone app
  • Vivint Playback is compatible with the Outdoor Camera Pro 3, Doorbell Camera Pro 2, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When adding Vivint Playback DVR, you get access to extras like premium doorbell camera chimes and indoor camera sound detection  

The 10 days of 24/7 continuous recording are possible through Vivint’s advanced firmware and efficient compression processes. You get the local storage you want, without needing to buy a separate piece of hardware.

Vivint sets the standard for smart home camera innovation

On-camera storage and continuous recording are examples of how Vivint leads the smart home industry. Imagine enjoying access to 24-hour footage and generating clips to share with family or the authorities straight from your mobile device. It’s a reality with Vivint, but there’s more. 

Homeowners appreciate Vivint cameras for these reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Get cameras that actively discourage theft. If a prowler comes too close, an audible alarm and bright LED light ring will engage.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can outfit your outside camera with a powerful spotlight that actually tracks strangers. Personalize it with different emergency light displays or just use it to illuminate your property.
  • RADAR capabilities. Vivint’s new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 utilizes RADAR to pinpoint individuals on your property and their distance to your home and vehicles.
  • Impressive zoom. You can take a closer look without compromising the picture clarity. Vivint’s Gen 3 camera with a high-definition sensor allows for 5.3x digital zoom.
