What features should I look for in a CCTV Digital Video Recorder (DVR)?
All DVRs are definitely not made equal! DVR price depends on several critical features including: video storage capacity, channels of video (4,8,16,32..), recording speed per camera, and POS ( Point of sale ) interface for retail. Compression technology, and remote viewing capability are others. Alarm features can include e-mail notification on motion detection. Some DVR's can call your cell phone if a camera detects motion from your home, store or office. The setup and user interface should be intuitive and easy to operate. Quality DVR's range in price from $973.00 for a 4 channel DVR with one week storage, up to $17,445.00 for a 32 channel real-time DVR with three months of storage! Windows XP, LINUX Embedded, or Hybrid IP ? DVR operating systems have several critical features to consider. Reliability, ease of use, and level of security are some. If you are going to connect you DVR to the internet our LINUX embedded DVR's with DOM Chip provide the highest level of resistance to hackers and viruses. Both XP and Linux Embedded DVR's support POS text overlays for retail applications. New hybrid DVR's can support up to 32 IP Network cameras, if you have a LAN at your office you can plug your IP cameras into the LAN and avoid large installation charges. What are frames per second (fps) ? Frames per second (fps) are how many picture snapshots a DVR can record per second. Real time recording equals 30 fps per camera. Television video refreshes at 28 frames per second. To calculate the fps per camera take the total fps in the system and divide it by the number of video inputs. For example, a 60 fps digital video recorder with 4 video inputs results in 15 fps per camera. New MPG4 compresion technology and high speed internet now makes real-time vieing possible. New megapixel DVR recorders can now store video from 1024+ TV Line plus cameras, increasing the acuracy of facial recogition software. How can I view video live over the internet? Contact your local ISP/Telephone company and order/add a "Static IP Address" to your account. $20-25.00 a month is the average charge for a static IP. After you assign a Static IP to your DVR, type that number into your Internet Brower to view video live -> http://xx.xx.xx.xx. Embedded DVR's use Dynamic DNS addressing and connect to the internet using a MAC address. There is no charge for DDNS remote access, just plug your DVR into your LAN or ethernet hub and you are good to go. |
