DVR Recorders

The Digital Video Recorder or CCTV DVR is an industry specific product, central to any CCTV system and essentially does two jobs. Firstly, it arranges the camera footage on screen for you. Secondly, it stores images from the cameras and in some cases the DVR has a third function whereby it allows you to remotely access your CCTV system via the internet or a local network.

The DVR in history - video cassettes, multiplexers and time lapse recordings until recently computer technology and the cost of memory meant that the job of a modern DVR was done by several different bits of kit. The on screen arrangement of camera footage was done by a thing called a multiplexer, as with a modern DVR it allowed you to view each camera in sequence or several cameras at a time via a split screen.

Recordings were stored on video recorders which had to have their cassettes constantly changed as they filled up. To try and extend tape recording times, time lapse photography was used whereby each camera took a snapshot every second or few seconds.

Modern DVRs have changed all that and reinvented the process of recording CCTV footage, to the point where they can be set up and left to their own devices. You don't have to change anything or press buttons on a daily basis unless you want to view an event.

The only downside with DVRs is that they can be quite complicated to learn how to use just like any thing new. All DVRs store their footage on a built in hard drive, not unlike the one your computer uses to store information. Hard drives are sold separately to the DVR because different people want to store their footage for different lengths of time.

Hard drives start at around 500GB and now go over 2,000GB or 2TB no doubt as time goes on they will increase in size. We supply you with a hard drive for your specific requirements on installation.
