Lower
lifetime costs (no more piles of VCR tapes).
More
recording time (up to 2-4-8-24 weeks or more at a time with an 80GB - 300GB
hard drive model).
What’s not
to love about DVRs?
Digital
Video Recorders save digital images to a hard drive through one or more CCTV
cameras (4-8-16-32 options).
Thanks to
recent technology advances, DVRs are becoming inexpensive enough for even the
home user. It
handily
replaces the time-lapse VCR. No more tapes to worry
about or accidentally erase.
If you’re familiar with TIVO, basically, it’s the
difference between using your old VCR (to tape shows) and a TIVO (to digitally
record shows).
Over the long term, removing the cost of buying videotapes
significantly reduces the cost of a video security system. A DVR is the ideal
add-on to any CCTV Camera when you need extended periods of monitoring.
Perfect for businesses that have to rely on their security
camera system to monitor continuously, or just great for when you go on
vacation.
There are many cases, where you just need extended
recording capabilities if you work late hours. Maybe you just plain don’t want
to keep running to the VCR every day, and to constantly replace tapes, or maybe
you’ve already accidentally recorded over your favorite TV show one too many
times.
Avoid all these hassles with a DVR. (Motion
activated) We’ve expertly selected some of the best for you to choose
from.
Need to take it with you? No problem!.
We’ve even got Portable Surveillance DVRs, these
pocket-size versions come in smaller than a Walkman — but with big 20-40-80Gb
hard drives.
Some even do double duty as entertainment systems, so you
can listen to MP3s or watch pre-recorded TV shows.
Maybe not the primary reason you’re buying a DVR, but why
not have a little fun in between stakeouts? And if you were planning on buying
an IPOD or other MP3 Player anyway, a DVR entertainment system (that can also
record surveillance footage) will practically pay for
itself
