- Continuous recording that saves footage from up to 12 different cameras.

AJ from Vivint provided outstanding service during our home security system installation! He was professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and extremely courteous throughout the entire process. He took the time to thoroughly explain how to operate the system and made sure we felt comfortable using all its features. What impressed us even more was his respect for our home, including wearing shoe covers without being asked! It’s the little things that make a big difference. Exceptional customer service from start to finish! We truly appreciate AJ’s professionalism and attention to detail. Definitely highly recommend AJ to anyone looking for a smooth and professional installation experience!
