Frequently asked video playback questions

Do you have to have a DVR for security cameras?

Your security cameras themselves will store a certain amount of footage. Vivint cameras record 20- to 90-second clips, depending on the camera, for up to 14 days.

Vivint Playback DVR can help you get the most out of your security camera video with a number of helpful benefits, including:

  • Continuous recording that saves footage from up to 12 different cameras.
  • Event markers that show motion-triggered activity for quicker searches.
  • The ability to keep a record of every minute for up to 10 days.
  • Smart Clips make it easy to download and share videos with friends, family, or authorities.

See why else it makes sense to have a DVR for your security cameras.

Do your DVR security cameras record all the time?

Vivint security cameras automatically start recording when they detect people on your property. And Smart Deter technology keeps your video camera system focused on intruders, not pets or passing cars.

Get up to 10 days of continuous video recording from a maximum of 12 security cameras with Vivint Playback DVR*. And with security camera video stored directly on the devices, you get a smoother, faster viewing experience with minimal buffering. Footage is at your fingertips with easily searchable event markers.

How long does security camera footage last?

Vivint offers multiple security cameras that record and store footage, including:

  • Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro 2
  • Vivint Outdoor Camera Pro 3
  • Vivint Indoor Camera Pro

Each of these cameras store recorded clips for 30 days on the cloud. If you want to be able to access your footage for a longer period of time, Vivint Playback DVR stores up to 10 days of continuous recording.

The good,bad,full experience

It was a good experience but there were a few things that I didn't like. The salesman is very aggressive, and I'm sure he is taught to be. The way he slides in that he wants to do a credit check like it's nothing,after we just made a large purchase wasnt to my liking either. Now the main issue was the tech. He needs to slow down! He also was quite musty,and I'm being nice about it. He knows his work but he moves wayy to fast around a strangers house. The system has worked great soo far.
