WHAT IS A NVR?
A Network Video Recorder (NVR) stores video footage on Hard Disc Drives.
BENEFITS OF NVR:
1. Mass storage
Dependant on the system configuration, a DVR could store many weeks even months of surveillance footage.
2. Instant playback
Since the NVR does not use video tape, you can go straight to a selected recording instantly. The comparison is the same as that between your domestic VCR and DVDs – no fast forward, no rewind.
3. Reliability
By their very nature, NVRs only moving parts are inside the hard discs. The average modern hard disc has a service life of 5 years and a MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of around 500,000 hours – that’s a long time in anyone’s language.
4. Two Products In One
A NVR is actually two devices built into the one product. As well as the digital recorder, the NVR has multiple camera inputs providing recording, playback and live viewing simultaneously.
5. Video Integrity
The NVR stores video footage encrypted and watermarked which cannot be tampered with or disputed as evidence.
