The Digital Video
Recorder AKA (DVR)
Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
A DVR is a computer based digital
recording system that records video on to a computer hard drive.
Using a hard drive allows the recording system to record video for
longer periods of time.
Motion Detection Triggers
Recording
One feature of a DVR is motion
detection. How the motion detection feature works is: when the DVR
detects motion in one of the cameras, the motion in the camera
triggers the DVR to start recording and end recording after a set
period of time. So the DVR is only recording when motion is
detected saving hard drive space and lengthening recording
history. When the DVR hard drive is full the DVR will than start
to record of the oldest recordings. The motion detection also has
an alarm feature that notifies camera system users of motion in
the camera by setting off a loud alarm when motion is detected
with in the camera.
Remote Viewing via an Internet
Connection
Another feature of a DVR is Network
Compatibility. Network compatibility allows the Camera system to
be connected to your computer network allowing the cameras to be
viewed over an existing network via a Personal Computer. Your
internet connection can also be configured to allow the Camera
System to be viewed over the internet. A computer and camera
system connected to a high speed internet connection would work
best.
Camera Viewing
Another feature of a DVR is its
ability to either view all of the cameras at one time, allow the
cameras to be viewed one at a time manually, or to view all
cameras via a time laps dwell setting, the view on the monitor
will automatically change from camera to camera at a set time.
Camera Detection and Camera
Timmers
Cameras can be set to different
levels of camera detection, and the cameras can be set to record
at different times of the day via a camera timer.

System Alerts and Alarms
Alarm alerts can also be configured
for when the hard drive is full, when motion is detected in a
camera, and when the camera signal lost.

configured for serial port type for Pan Tilt Zoom Cameras, baud
