The power box provides a central point of power for your video surveillance system. Most power boxes output 12 volts of DC current which is compatible with most all security cameras. When using DC power supplies it is important that you connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals correctly to their respective wires.

Whenever an incident occurs, there are many reasons to save the footage off of the DVR. You may want to use the video clip for evidence of a crime, send it to your insurance company to substantiate a claim, or use the video for employee training to help boost productivity. No matter what, the ability to save footage is important.

One of the most important features of your video surveillance system is the ability to review any incidents that are recorded. The Elite and Ultimate Series DVR features an easy-to-use search feature, and can play back up to two channels simultaneously to allow you to make a better assessment of the security situation.
