DVRs Digital Video Recorders

More information on Linux DVRs (Digital Video Recorders):

A2Z offers professional brands of current DVRs and Digital Video Recorders that boast industry leading advanced features and functions. Modernized systems employ a variety of cutting-edge compression methods such as the popular H.264 or H.265 video and AAC audio formats. Meanwhile even more enhanced compression methods to breakthroughs like AI coding are constantly driving toward maximum efficiency. Real-time HD video (2MP/1080p) and up to ultra-HD 4K resolution (8mp) support are the latest standards. Furthermore, they almost all come with complete sets of advanced network surveillance software including CMS level Software, Client Software, Web browser interfaces to mobile viewing apps. An array of other capabilities from Two Way Audio, I/O Alarm and relay connections, multiple monitor output types, RS-485 PTZ communications, coax communication, POS (point of sale) or even specialized AI powered video analytics are all becoming more and more available for the most advanced Linux DVR units ever built.

The most recent additions to Linux based Digital Video Recorder systems have included the constant progress of HD CCTV formats including CVI, TVI and AHD. Systems are still typically sold in specific CCTV camera capacities such as 4ch, 8ch, 16ch and 32ch but today most system offer extended support for other types of Security Cameras like IP Cameras over extra and/or exchangeable CCTV channels resulting in varying total camera counts that any specific model may actually allow. A2Z Security Cameras offers a wide range of the top brand and top performance DVRs in the security industry!

What are Hybrid DVRs or Hybrid Digital Video Recorders?

The latest breeds of DVR solutions almost always now offer what is known as Hybrid Video Recording. This function describes the ability to support multiple security camera types such as traditional Analog CCTV Cameras, HD CCTV Cameras and IP Cameras all on a single DVR or commonly now called XVR. These attributes vary by model and may work differently depending on the brand and camera formats considered. However, this feature has grown to become a common attribute and universal integration between equipment and formats has progressed to near universal integration. Whether for future migration or for mixed security camera system designs, a hybrid DVR can provide a distinct advantage in all sorts of applications.

What are the new HD CCTV formats and some of their advances?

HD CCTV isn't necessarily a new technology, however the industry wide adoption of the latest HD CCTV formats in the surveillance market has indeed set a new standard for "CCTV" systems. These new HD CCTV formats, namely AHD, TVI and CVI formats have in recent years established a new universal standard of CCTV based systems. These modern formats have absolutely revitalized and propelled the CCTV security camera systems' presence.

By utilizing the same coax cabling (or UTP methods), BNC connectors and overall system design, these new formats have ensured modern CCTV solutions can compete with the advances IP network-based camera systems have introduced. Advances like support of HD and Ultra HD resolutions was among the most prevalent factors which previously made IP based systems superior to the traditional CCTV solution. In addition to enabling such HD and Ultra HD video via the new digitized HD CCTV communications methods, HD CCTV has also empowered multiple other benefits. While some advances may still remain unique to certain brands and/or models such as PoC or power over coax (which aims to compete with the simplified cabling for PoE on IP cams) other enhanced features and functions are already becoming standard. Functions like many modern DVRs now support multiple HD CCTV formats if not all three of the aforementioned modern types is ever more common. Advantages such as long-distance cable runs to CoC (control over coax) allow remote lens adjustments to full PTZ control all over the same coax carrying the video signal. Likewise functions like Audio communication to camera OSD operation and more are now also simultaneously achievable over the same coaxial cable alone.

What are Video Analytics, Analysis, A.I. or Artificial Intelligence in surveillance?

Terms like Video Analytics/Video Analysis and lately, AI or Artificial Intelligence are now commonly associated with various surveillance system equipment's functions including within DVRs, NVRs, Software, cloud-based and IP cameras. These digital detection methods became a reality essentially immediately after the creation of the Digital video Recorder in the early 90s with the introduction of digital processing. That digitization enabled the first types of simplified motion detection which was based on variables like pixel change, percentage and area.

Since then, numerous video analytics of far more sophisticated capabilities have emerged, including but not limited to intrusion detection, perimeter protection, missing and left object detections, loitering detection and many others. Likewise, just as areas of surveillance have progressed technologically such as with video compression methods, so has the enhancements of ever more intelligent surveillance analysis functions. Take example the evermore common AI powered analytics which achieve all sorts of significant benefits. A.I. features like object classification with the capability to distinguish vehicles and humans or other aspects like facial recognition with specific detection like for a hardhat or perhaps a facial mask. Artificial Intelligence, including deep learning or neural network level algorithms now enable ever increasing precision, diverse applications and impressive automated abilities.

What are Mobile DVRs (Digital Video Recorders)?

As video surveillance equipment use expands across all markets the uses have long ago also moved beyond security in numerous fashions. However, or whatever the needs may be, technology has progressed to the point that video security and video monitoring can be achieved nearly anywhere. Some of the more specialized digital video recorders available include mobile DVRs. These units are also available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and A2Z Security Cameras has years of experience in offering both Linux and windows-based versions. Transportation and mobile applications include cars, trucks, buses, boats, ships, planes and trains just to set a few classic examples. These units also range in variety of attributes from GPS functions, ignition system integration to rugged construction for shock and vibration resistance.

Popular DVR Digital Video Recorder Accessories:

Depending on the brand and model, DVR systems can offer a large selection of accessory devices. The products can be manufacturer specific or in some cases common and even universal options for some systems. Key examples include PTZ Camera Joystick Controllers to DVR keyboards and IR remote controls. More popular accessories from rack mount kits to video storage arrays can be selected for many models while otherwise it may be as simple as parts like keyboard, mouse and USB storage devices. The options are in no way limited to these alone; Lockboxes to add-ons like Microphones, Speakers, Sensors or Battery back-up could all also be considered accessories you may wish to consider for your DVR system install.
