CCTV NVR Network Video Recorders

About

What is a CCTV Network Video Recorder? A network video recorder (NVR) system is a computer system with software that can record video footage in various formats, without the need for a separate recorder. Footage coming directly from an NVR system can be exported onto a computer or separate storage option, such as a USB. Different NVR systems offer varying numbers of channels, but the average range is between 4 and 36 channels. NVR systems are capable of recording video and audio, and exporting directly on the network they run off of. There is no need to transmit the data to a recorder to be processed, it all happens through the cameras themselves. Recording happens in real-time, and the NVR also offers key features such as masking, motion detection, alarm and other various features. The CCTV NVR system uses H.265 compression technology, reducing the file size of recorded video and audio data. H.265 is the latest development in high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) and outperforms other current security cameras on the market. The higher levels of compression require less storage space, while still providing greater amounts of playback footage. NVR systems also provide higher bandwidth opportunities, allowing users to stream recorded data far more smoothly. Explore Full IP CCTV Systems that comes with NVRs. Types of NVR System There are two main types of NVR systems available - PoE, and non-PoE. “PoE” stands for Power over Ethernet, and refers to the fact that information can be transmitted through the same cable as power (both use the Ethernet data cable), reducing the number of cables needed for the system. This creates a system that helps to minimize the space that it takes up. This system also tends to have lower installation and long-term maintenance costs compared to a non-PoE system. Alternatively, a non-PoE simply refers to a system that is not capable of transmitting power and data through the same cable. The system requires separate cables, which makes it bulk
