DVR — Digital Video Recorder
A Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is the core component of an analog CCTV surveillance system. It records video footage captured by analog or HD-over-coax cameras (such as AHD, TVI, or CVI) and stores it on a hard drive for playback, review, and export.
DVRs are ideal for budget-conscious installations, especially in locations that already use coaxial cabling. Modern DVRs support high-resolution recording (up to 4K), remote access, and intelligent features that bring analog systems closer to IP functionality.
