With NVRs

Your NVR is the brain of your security system. It receives, processes, and stores the digital footage from your digital or IP cameras.

NVRs are servers that publish a webpage where you can view your cameras. They are embedded devices that you can connect to with desktop or mobile applications and then stream footage or watch recordings. They are analytics devices that check for someone or something crossing a line, entering or dwelling in an area. They are appliances that can display cameras on a monitor or multiple monitors.

NVRs are not DVRs

Often NVRs are mistakenly called DVRs, but they are different. A DVR is designed to process footage from analog cameras transmitting not yet digitized footage over outdated BNC cabling. Examples of analog camera technologies include AHD, CVI, TVI, and SDI. An NVR receives footage from digital or IP cameras transmitting data over an ethernet cable (Cat5, Cat6, or even Cat7). Analog systems are outdated and we do not recommend them anymore.
