Surveillance cameras are a critical element of your home’s security. To ensure you select the right system, you need to determine how you would like your system to store footage. Some Akron homeowners are okay with event-based clips saved in the cloud. But if you’re looking for more, like 24/7 recording and on-premises storage, you’ll need to look into other options.

If you don’t want any lapses in your footage, Vivint Playback DVR is an outstanding option. Explore this service and why it’s a valuable add-on to your Akron smart home.
