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 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*. 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 stores up to 10 days of continuous recording.

I recently had a Vivint security system…

I recently had a Vivint security system installed at my home in Leesburg, Florida, and I was very pleased with the experience. Jason contacted me before arriving to let me know they were finishing another job and provided an estimated arrival time. I appreciated the communication and knowing what to expect. During the installation, Jason was training a new employee, Todd, and they worked very well together. They also took care of some additional work, including installing an access point to ensure the devices in a bedroom down the hallway could communicate reliably with the security panel. I appreciated their attention to detail and the care they took to get everything working properly. Huge kudos to Jason and Todd for a job well done!

I am impressed with the VIVINT Security System. The tech, Nick Richmond, was professional. He explained how the system works. He spent close to 8 1/2 hours at my home because my internet kept showing SOS which caused Nick to work overtime. I am very appreciative and thankful of how he persisted in getting things done right.

What is Kevin doing?

The rep that assisted me prior to installation was great!! Very informative and answered all my questions. The tech that came and performed the installation, Kevin, was nice however I felt like he just want to complete the work the easiest way possible and leave. He didn't consult with me on where I want the second keypad, instead he just placed above my old keypad, which remained instead of removing it. He had to come back because the main HUB stopped working. So we waited 4 days for him to return. It appeared that the wiring was not solid so he had to readjust it.

This was my first experience with door bell technology. Eric,your installer was well versed and provided professional experience guided me through the process. In addition he encouraged me to contact him with any questions that might arise. I consider his work ethics to be excellent, and I will contact him when needed. I would say his installation and the service he provided was second to none.
