Can I Save a Video From My Vivint Camera?

If you’re a Vivint camera user, you might be wondering if it’s possible to save videos from your camera. The answer is yes! In this article, we’ll explore the different ways you can save your Vivint camera videos.

Option 1: Save Videos to Your Vivint Smart Drive

One of the easiest ways to save your Vivint camera videos is by using the Vivint Smart Drive. This device allows you to store up to 1TB of footage from your cameras. To save a video, simply follow these steps:

  1. Open the Vivint app and select the camera whose video you want to save.
  2. Tap on the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Select “Save Video.”
  4. The video will now be saved to your Smart Drive.

Note:

Make sure that your Smart Drive has enough space before attempting to save a video. You can check how much space is available by opening the app and selecting “Smart Drive” from the menu.

Option 2: Download Videos From Your App

Another way to save your Vivint camera videos is by downloading them directly from the app. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Vivint app and select the camera whose video you want to download.
  2. Select “Download Video.”
  3. The video will now be downloaded onto your phone’s local storage.

Videos downloaded through this method will take up storage on your phone, so make sure that you have enough space before attempting a download.

Option 3: Use a Third-Party App

If you prefer to save your Vivint camera videos to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox, you can use a third-party app to do so. Some popular options include IFTTT and Zapier. Here’s how it works:

  1. Connect your Vivint and cloud storage accounts to the third-party app.
  2. Create a “recipe” or “zap” that saves your Vivint camera videos to your preferred cloud storage service.
  3. The video will now be saved to your cloud storage account.

Using a third-party app requires some technical expertise and may not be suitable for everyone.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer to save your Vivint camera videos locally or in the cloud, there are several options available to you. Choose the method that best suits your needs and start saving those important moments captured by your Vivint camera!
