Surveillance Camera system record equipment

Security camera software
Are you planning to purchase a surveillance camera system? Then you need to have a better understanding about the record equipment that can be used along with such a system. From this article,  we  will  let  you know about the most popular record equipment that come along with modern world surveillance camera systems.

VCRs – The very first surveillance camera systems used video cassette recorders to save video footage into cassettes. It is a less  expensive  method   available   for   capturing  videos.  However,  the  VCRs  were  equipped  with  a  manual  recording mechanism  and  people  had  to  go  through  much  hassle when saving the videos captured from cameras. This gave life to continuous loop tapes and time lapse VCRs.

DVRs/NVR  –  Digital  Video  Recorders /Network Video Recorder  captured   the   market   after 2000s and it has  become a common item in the modern world. They  save  recorded  video  files in  digital format in the storage medium. This gas given them an  excellent  storage  capacity. In  other words, modern  world  DVRs/NVRS can   record 100 hours of videos in digital format. They  have  also  impressed the  users  with  innovative  features  such  as  motion  detection  and  trigger  recording. Some DVRs that come along with surveillance camera systems can be connected to the home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cables..

Computer Software – Computer  Software  play a major role behind the effectiveness of surveillance camera systems.The available software for security systems can be divided into two main categories as free software and  paid software. Depends  on  the  different
 manufacturers.  They  also  have  impressive  features  such  as  motion detection and sending alerts over the network.

Capture Cards –  Some  surveillance  camera systems don’t have network connectivity. Capture  cards  can  be  used  with such security systems to record the videos in digital format. The  best  thing  about  capture  cards  is  that  they  have  the  ability to record videos at a better frame rate without dropping signals. A  wide range  of  capture  cards  can  be  found  out there in the market and they belong to different price categories. The expensive capture cards can record videos from over 4 channels at once and they can be connected to the PCI cards of more than one computer.

Hard Drives – Most of the modern world surveillance camera systems use hard drives to store the recorded  videos. A large amount of storage data coming from different channels can be stored in hard drives. However,the hard drives have a higher rate of failure as they are used for a long period of time. You  should  have  a  computer  based  or stand alone surveillance camera system to use a hard drive for recording purposes.
