What is a Digital Video Recorder (DVR)?
DVR stands for digital video recorder. Digital video recorders record and compress video (and/or audio)
to a hard-drive based storage medium.
Reliability
Digital security solutions offer reliability because these solutions are based on hardware and
software. Digital security solutions require fewer pieces working together compared to old VCRs,
thus making it less prone to wear and tear. Video can be also stored directly onto hard drives without
much hassle.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Digital security hardware is designed as a self-contained unit, eliminating the need for quads,
switchers, multiplexers, time-lapse VCRs, motion detectors and remote monitoring devices. With
fewer pieces needed to work together, it enables such digital solutions to be supported and maintained by less people. Digital security solutions also allow most diagnostics, updates and adjustments to be done remotely, thus reducing overall costs.
Constant Quality
Digital security solutions are very stable and reliable as a medium for video storage. You won’t have
to worry about video quality degradation.
More Efficient
With digital security solutions, you do not need to change and replace tapes. You do not need to
clean recording heads to ensure correct recording. Digital security solutions saves you time and
money, because you can overcome serious problems associated with failing to carry out some of the
tasks you need to do for legacy systems. Moreover, while quads and switchers make recording
multiple cameras possible, cameras are recorded one at a time in timed segments. With digital
security solutions, you can record all cameras simultaneously.
Flexible Network Monitoring
Network cameras offer remote monitoring from anywhere in the world. Because you can monito
from anywhere, you need not hire a permanent in-house staff to sit and watch at the installed base.
You also eliminate costly in-house cable runs. Digital security solutions also offer centralized
monitoring of all cameras.
