Digital Video Recorders

About Your Digital Video Recorder

Your Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is at the heart of your Home CCTV Security System and it controls virtually all of the systems functionality and we can plug it into your own existing TV.

The cameras provide a constant signal, the image itself, and the only 'decision' the camera makes is whether or not to switch to infra red under low or no lighting conditions.

The DVR does EVERYTHING:

Motion Detection

All of the DVR's we specify have motion detection software built in and you can set your DVR to record how you want and when you want using the 'schedule' option. This means you can set your DVR to record permanently under certain circumstances and using motion detection at other times. you can also stop your DVR from recording if you so desire.

Storage

A range of hard drive sizes from 250GB up to 6000GB of information can be stored (depending on DVR and hard drive choice) allowing you to save images even whilst you're on the longest holiday. Once your DVR is full, you can set it to either automatically record over old footage or stop recording and wait for you.

Remote Access

Speaking of Holidays, you're DVR will also control remote access and you can password protect it so no one else can have access. You can keep an eye on your home remotely and securely

Alarms

Want to set an alarm to trigger if someone comes onto your property? No problem. All of our DVR's have the ability to select parts or all of the field of vision and trigger an alarm the moment anyone crosses the line. One of our customers works from home and has a small office at the rear of his property, he never misses the postman now, even though he can't hear the front door from his desk.

Email

When set up correctly, your DVR can even email you to let you know that someone has crossed the line!
