NVR stands for (Network Video Recorder) and DVR stands for (Digital Video Recorder). Deciding which one is right your business needs depends on several factors. NVR's are the new network recorders that can record from IP cameras anywhere in the world. They can be connected through the internet, a LAN, WAN, WiFi, or hardwired. This new technology opens up so many great possibilities today for security cameras networks.
The NVR and IP camera combination is an amazing advance in security. However, it is not for all applications. Factors such as internet bandwidth and IP addressing are important. If the system is running through the internet and there are problems with the internet, you could have gaps in recording. NVR/IP systems also require networking skills to setup IP addresses and firewall protection. However, the sky is the limit with this new technology.
DVR's are for analog cameras which are hardwired into the recorder. So if you have older analog cameras, a DVR is your option. However, there are new exciting hybrid recorders called HVR's. These new recorders allow you to take advantage of both technologies at the same time. For example, you could have a hardwired analog camera system and still send images over the internet and other forms of network communications. Plus new hybrid HD cameras can be installed onto your current cable wiring. This will allow you to have amazing IP features that will greatly improve your security camera surveillance.
