What are DVRs?
A DVR (Digital Video Recorder) security system is a traditional and cost-effective solution for home and business surveillance. It works by connecting analogue CCTV cameras to a central recorder via coaxial cable, which captures, processes, and stores video footage directly onto a built-in hard drive.
DVR systems are a reliable choice for those looking to secure a fixed location, offering continuous or motion-triggered recording, remote viewing via smartphone, and playback of saved footage. They are particularly well-suited to properties that already have coaxial cabling installed, making them a practical and affordable upgrade path.
Modern DVR systems support HD and even 4K resolution through technologies such as HD-TVI, AHD, and HD-CVI, delivering significantly sharper image quality than older analogue systems — without the need to rewire your property.
