What
is a DVR System?
A
DVR system is a computer that views and records footage
from up to 16 cameras (depending on the model you order).
The computer is basically a normal computer with special
hardware and software that allows you to connect your
cameras to the back of it through PCI slots (this is
the same type of slot commonly used for modems and LAN
cards). You use the computer as pictured above to view
and record your surveillance footage. The footage is
simply stored to the harddrive.
What
is Remote View?
Remote view is a feature built into both lines of our
DVR systems that allow you to view your DVR system from
any computer with an internet connection. You simply
enter the IP address of your DVR computer, enter your
username and password, and you can then view both live
and recorded footage.
What
is a frame rate?
The
frame rate of a card is how many frames per second it
will show. The higher the frames per second (fps), the
smoother the picture, and the faster your computer will
run out of harddrive space. Normally, 30fps is considered
realtime, meaning the picture is not jerky. Simply put,
the frame rate per each camera will be the frame rate
of the card divided by the number of cameras. Example:
120fps card, 4 cameras=30fps for each camera.
