Relevant technical characteristics of DVRs

Full HD / 4K recording resolution

Modern DVRs allow video recording at high resolutions, from Full HD (1080p) to 4K, depending on the model and type of connected analog cameras. This ensures very good quality of the captured images, which is essential for identifying important details such as people's faces or license plates. Although traditional analog cameras have a lower resolution, modern HD-CVI, HD-TVI or AHD technologies allow DVRs to capture higher quality video signals.

Multisystem/multistandard compatibility (TVI, CVI, AHD, CVBS)

One of the main advantages of DVRs is their compatibility with multiple analog camera standards. Thus, a multi-system DVR can work with TVI (Transport Video Interface), CVI (Composite Video Interface), AHD (Analog High Definition) or CVBS (analog standard signal) cameras. This compatibility allows the user to combine cameras of different technologies in the same system, facilitating the upgrade or expansion of the system without replacing all the cameras.

HDMI/VGA outputs

For displaying live images or playing back recordings, the DVRs are equipped with HDMI and VGA video outputs. The HDMI output offers superior quality and is compatible with most modern TVs and monitors, ensuring clear and detailed images. At the same time, the VGA output allows connection to older monitors or compatible equipment, thus providing flexibility in choosing the display device.

Remote access via mobile app

Most modern DVRs allow remote access via dedicated mobile apps, available for smartphones and tablets. This means you can view live camera footage, receive notifications when suspicious motion is detected, and access your archive of recordings from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.

Motion detection and smart alerts

DVRs are equipped with motion detection functions, which allow automatic recording to start only when there is activity in the cameras' field of view. This system optimizes storage space and simplifies monitoring, as the user receives real-time alerts and notifications only when something relevant happens, eliminating unnecessary recordings.

SATA HDD storage

DVRs use internal SATA hard drives to store video recordings. Their capacities vary depending on the needs, from 1TB to 10TB or more, allowing recordings to be kept for longer periods. Also, most DVRs allow the storage space to be replaced or expanded by connecting a new hard drive, ensuring flexibility in data management.

Friendly interface in Romanian

For ease of use, the DVRs come with an intuitive graphical interface, also available in Romanian. This facilitates quick system configuration, easy access to functions such as playback, alarm configuration or adjusting video settings, even for users without advanced technical experience.
