Digital video recorders (DVRs) are more than toys in our crime infested world. They are a necessary tool for security. In conjunction with CCTV cameras you can record everything that happens in your business 24 hours a day. The days of wondering what is going on in your
other facility are gone.
Using the internet, your business is under your control, 24/7/365. Using your DVR, now you simply open internet explorer, type in your IP address, input the proper username and password and you are remotely viewing a live video feed from your business.
The benefits of digital video recorders are obvious.
Remote viewing is being used more and more in the security industry as people become busier, traffic becomes heavier and the hours that business remains open is lengthening. You can be on vacation in the Bahamas or Mexico and still look in on your business whenever you want.
DVRs are much more sophisticated now than they were even 2 years ago. Using the latest recording compression codecs, you can now get 30+ days on a 250GB hard drive with 8 cameras, if you buy the right DVR. There are so many different manufacturers out there that it's very confusing, plus most (95%) are foreign made.
Many of the cheaper models have from 30-40 buttons on the front, and this is how you program and access the different functions (playback, archive, search, etc) on the digital video recorder. It can be very frustrating and time consuming to learn the complicated sequence of commands.
Or you can simply buy a better DVR and use a keyboard and mouse to access all the functions.
This is much easier and usually only takes a minimal amount of training to learn to use the DVR.
This is why I recommend dealing with a reputable company, and purchasing a digital video recorder that is made in the USA. It is a wise choice for service, parts and support..
