Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Difference Between an NVR and DVR?
An NVR, or Network Video Recorder, is generally used with compatible IP cameras and receives video through a network connection. A DVR, or Digital Video Recorder, is commonly used with analog CCTV cameras connected through coaxial cabling. The suitable recorder depends on the existing camera system and compatibility.
What Are Common Signs That a CCTV Recorder or Hard Drive May Have a Problem?
Common signs include missing recordings, storage error messages, unusual beeping, recorder restarts, footage that cannot be played back, or cameras appearing connected but not recording properly. The exact cause should be reviewed before deciding whether the recorder or hard drive needs replacement.
Can an Existing CCTV Hard Drive Be Replaced?
In many compatible CCTV recorders, the storage hard drive can be replaced if the drive has failed or more storage capacity is required. The suitable replacement depends on the recorder model, supported drive capacity and system requirements.
How Much CCTV Footage Can a Hard Drive Store?
Recording duration varies depending on the hard-drive capacity, number of cameras, video resolution, frame rate and whether the system records continuously or only when motion is detected. The recorder specifications should be checked before estimating the expected retention period.
