Surveillance cameras are a critical part of your home’s protection. To ensure you get the right system, you need to decide how you would like your system to store video. Some Tyler households are fine with event-based clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like 24/7 continuous recording and on-site storage, you’ll need to investigate other options.

If you want total coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an exceptional choice. Learn more about this system and why it’s a worthwhile enhancement to your Tyler smart home.

What exactly is Vivint Playback DVR?

Vivint Playback DVR is an add-on service that offers up to 10 days of 24-hour recording. It gives you all the footage you seek and quite a bit more. Here are standout features:

  • Vivint Playback is compatible with up to 12 cameras
  • Event-triggered markers allow you to search and share critical moments easily
  • Footage is saved on SD cards inside your cameras and is effortless to access with the Vivint mobile app
  • Vivint Playback works with the Doorbell Camera Pro 2, Outdoor Camera Pro 3, and Indoor Camera Pro
  • When opting for Vivint Playback DVR, you gain bonuses like indoor camera sound detection and upgraded doorbell camera chimes  

The 10 days of 24-hour recording are possible through Vivint’s specialized firmware and efficient compression techniques. You get the on-premises storage you want, without having to buy an additional storage device.

Vivint leads the way in smart home surveillance

The 24-7 recording capability and local camera storage are further proof of how Vivint leads the smart home field. Picture yourself enjoying access to round-the-clock footage and generating clips to share with family members or the authorities straight from your phone. It’s possible with Vivint, but that’s not all. 

Families appreciate Vivint cameras for the following reasons:

  • Smart Deter. Choose cameras that actively deter crime. If an intruder ventures near your house or car, an audible alarm and bright LED light ring will activate.
  • Spotlight Pro. You can arm your outdoor camera with a powerful spotlight that actually tracks trespassers. Personalize it with your preference of emergency light modes or just use it to shed light on your property.
  • RADAR detection. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 utilizes RADAR to locate individuals on your property and their distance to your vehicles and home.
  • Impressive zoom. Get a closer look without compromising the picture clarity. Vivint’s outdoor camera with a high-definition sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
