Surveillance cameras are a vital aspect of your home’s defense. To ensure you select the right system, you need to decide how you would like your system to store footage.

But if you’re looking for more, like round-the-clock continuous recording and on-premises storage, you must explore other options.

If you want complete coverage, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent option. Find out more about this service and why it’s an important enhancement to your Stamford home security system.

  • RADAR functionality. The new Outdoor Camera Pro Gen 3 uses RADAR to locate individuals and their distance to your cars and home.
  • Zoom capabilities. Take a closer look without compromising the picture clarity. Vivint’s exterior camera with a high-definition sensor gives you 5.3x digital zoom.
