Today’s Digital Video Recorder or DVR security camera systems are an amazing bundle of new high quality technology. The security camera industry can also thank the personal computer industry as a contributor, because a lot of today’s DVR security camera systems use recently invented technology borrowed from the computer industry.
In this article we are going to describe how a typical DVR security camera system works.

Security video cameras are one of three major components of today’s digital video security systems which also consist of a Digital Video Recorder or DVR and one or more monitors. The digital video camera is an interesting piece of electronic wonder, and as technology continues to advance so do the features and abilities of the security video camera.
In this article, we’ll take a look at how a security video camera operates. We’ll also take a look at some of the more common features and options that are available on today’s digital video security cameras.
The backbone behind any good digital video security system is the surveillance DVR or Digital Video Recorder. It processes the video transmissions sent by the digital video cameras, controls the video cameras, stores the recorded surveillance video footage, and transmits the real-time and recorded video images to the monitor, the internet, or some other output device. In essence, the surveillance DVR is actually the brain of the security and surveillance digital video system.
The surveillance DVR can be directly wired or cabled to the digital video cameras or the cameras can communicate with the DVR wirelessly. In many covert (hidden or disguised) digital video surveillance systems the DVR and camera are an all-in-one compact system.
Conservation is the key term in reference to motion activated recording. In the following article, we’ll take a look at how digital video security and surveillance systems go about doing this and why conservation is a key term associated with this type of monitoring.
Digital video camera security systems can initiate motion activated recording in different ways. One of the most common ways to provide motion activated recording is to use a digital video camera with a built-in motion detector. Digital video security cameras equipped with motion detectors begin recording video when motion is detected and stop when motion is either no longer detected or after a designated (pre-programmed) time period.
