Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is a dedicated digital video recording device used to record, store and manage video signals captured by cameras in video surveillance systems.
How hard disk video recorders work
The DVR mainly converts the real-time video signal into digital signal through the camera, and then compresses it and stores it in the hard disk. DVRS usually have multiple video input channels and can be connected to multiple cameras at the same time for recording. It also has a video output interface, which can output the recorded video signal to the display device for real-time monitoring or playback.
Hard disk video recorder uses hard disk as the main storage medium and can store a large amount of video data. By using different hard disk capacities and configurations, video storage requirements for different time periods can be met. In general, hard disk recorders support circular recording function, that is, when the hard disk storage space is insufficient, it will automatically overwrite the earliest recording data.
DVR also has some additional functions and features, such as remote access and control, intelligent alarm, video analysis, etc. Through the network connection, users can remotely access and control the DVR through devices such as mobile phones, tablets or computers, view the monitoring screen in real time, play back the video, set parameters, etc.
