Video cameras are a critical element of your home’s protection. To ensure you select the best system for your household, you need to determine how you would like your system to store footage. Some Lawrence households are fine with motion-triggered clips stored in the cloud. But if you need more, like 24/7 recording and on-premises storage, you should look into other alternatives.

If you never want to miss a thing, Vivint Playback DVR is an excellent choice. Learn more about this service and why it’s a worthwhile add-on to your Lawrence home security system.
