DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder.  With a DVR in your home or office you will always have a record of “events”.  The DVR will always be recording the information your cameras are receiving while storing that information on a standard “Hard Drive”.  The DVR will record continuously until you have reason to review it. Once you have reason to review the information recorded to the hard drive you can search via “events” and achieve them onto transferable media.

Please note:  When at capacity, the DVR overwrites the information on the hard drive.  So archiving it is a great suggestion.   We offer remote assistance should you require it.
