Digital Video Recorders

The DVR is the heart of any security surveillance system. The DVR is responsible for storing and manipulating all the video and audio and controlling when and how that data is manipulated. In the past, VCRs were the standard for video surveillance storage. The main drawback to VCR based systems was that you couldn't really search for video events readily. You had to fast-forward through hours of footage to find that one event. With digital video recorders, you can easily jump from one time segment to another in an instant and save hours of your valuable time when trying to resolve any incident.

Another great advantage of a DVR is the ability to be viewed and controlled over a computer network or the Internet. This feature allows you to keep an eye on your home or business from anywhere in the world as long as you have an Internet connection. You can manipulate your cameras and back up footage right to your PC or laptop.
