Network Video Recorders - NVR


NVR's are the new video recorders for businesses and corporates. The main difference between a DVR and NVR is that...

1 - The images are transmitted over the computer network

2 - The cameras are typically IP based

3 - IP based cameras offer superior resolution and future proofing

4 - For an analogue camera to be recorded onto a NVR, it must be converted  to IP using a special converter.

5 - Ease of expansion (simply wire to the nearest hub/switch)

 

A great feature of IP Cameras is the resolution, with models now offering 3-10Mega pixels of resolution, benefit to you - amazingly clear images showing significant details, resulting in faster identification.

Most IP Cameras also offer microphone inputs and speaker outputs; allowing the operator to communicated with the subject - basically from anywhere in the world. This allows problems to be sorted remotely without having to despatch a guard.

With the continued increase in IP camera technology (which is replacing the old analogue cameras - much like Blu-ray is replacing DVD's); with a Cat5e cabled IP camera, your investment will be future proofed for today and the forseable future. So, even if IP is not for you, at least consider cabling it now (tidy cabling is often the trickiest part).
