One of the most important pieces to your surveillance system is your surveillance video recorder. Whether you have one, four or sixteen cameras you have to take what those cameras see and store that video for reference or possible evidence. Now you need to decide whether you want to record digitally to a DVR or record onto VHS tapes using a VCR.
What surveillance
video recorder
is
right for you?
Digital Video Recorder (DVR) - Unlike
VCRs, DVRs record video to a computer hard drive or other media
such as a CD or DVD. This makes a DVR easy to maintain because there
are no bulky tapes to change or the risk of losing video quality
when recording over previous footage. Except for the World's Smallest
DVR, all of our other DVRs can be operated and monitored remotely
from anywhere in the world using the Internet. While the surveillance
video data is stored on the DVR it can be protected from loss caused
by operating errors, tampering and accidents.
Embedded (Stand Alone) DVRs - Embedded DVRs do not use a Windows® operating system. In fact, there is no software at all on the hard drive. All functions
are contained (embedded) on software encoded computer chips. View in real time. Easy setup. The Embedded series Digital
Video Recorders (DVR) operate just like a VCR. However, they have many features that make them more powerful and easier to
use than even the most advanced VCR.
