Use of the security camera DVR allows home and business owners to make digital video recordings. These instruments are useful in video surveillance systems. The camera feeds a video to the DVR device that records everything seen in the camera. These devices can hold evidence needed to locate the individuals responsible for vandalism or crimes against the property. The recording allows for playback so that the images captured by the camera can be seen. The number of hours of recording time available will depend on the available memory and the number of cameras.

A security camera DVR can record video from both analog and digital cameras. The data is then recorded in the digital format using a hard drive. The high quality recording can be maintained for several weeks. The DVR replaces the older style VCR recording. DVR allows the users the opportunity to see both live and video recording on the local system. In addition, most DVR systems allow the user to view the images and recordings from a remote location using the internet.

A feature you may find useful is that multiple viewers can access the recordings simultaneously using the internet. Bandwidth is a shared element. Unless there are serious security programs in place with many cameras, basic cable or DSL internet provides plenty of bandwidth. In addition, if your system has audio capability, this can also be accessed on the net. Be sure that you choose a system that offers audio capability if this is important in your application.

The security camera DVR system can also make use of exiting CCTV cameras. The cameras will still need to plug into the security DVR. If security is necessary, the DVR system should be plugged into an uninterruptable power source also known as a UPS. This provides a temporary backup for the system in the event of power outages. The system continues to record so there is no time lapse. Some systems will also report an alarm if there is a power loss.

The available options for the security camera DVR are many. The value of this system should not be underestimated. Those still dependant on VCR recording systems should upgrade now. The benefits of the digital system provide greater security. If there is a criminal act, the camera makes it easier to identify the criminal. The advancement in technology allows users to have a quality security camera DVR system that can improve the security of both the home and business.

Because of huge advances in technology hidden cameras are becoming much more commonplace. Part of the reason for this is because they are less expensive and much easier to use with far less glitches than ever before.
