Summary of Product
What is a DVR?
DVR stands for digital video recorder. Digital video recorders run on
computers and are equipped with one or more video capture cards, that
record and compress video (and/or audio) to a hard-drive based storage
medium.
Reliability
Digital security solutions, like the DVR, offer reliability because these
solutions are based on computer 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 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 wouldn'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 monitor 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.
