RECORDERS

Recording equipment usually falls into 1 of 3 categories:

DVR (Digital Video Recorder) The original standard often used with coaxial cabling to the cameras

NVR (Network Video Recorder) Is used in conjunction with high definition IP cameras and uses the LAN for transmission of video and audio.

Hybrid (a mix of DVR and NVR) Hybrid video recorders can use both analogue and IP cameras.

The type of recorder used is dependent on specific requirements for each application. There are many factors to be considered when choosing a recorder, but the 3 basic requirements are usually, number of cameras required, recording resolution and storage.
