Frequently Asked Questions

What are DVRs and NVRs and how are they different?DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) and NVRs (Network Video Recorders) are surveillance systems differing in connectivity and processing. DVRs link to analog cameras for recorder-based processing, whereas NVRs connect to IP cameras and video servers for camera-based processing, offering remote access, scalability, and advanced features.How do video servers function?A video server (often known as video encoder) bridges analog CCTV and network video systems, extending legacy system use. It converts analog video into digital format for network transmission, recording, and easy viewing.
