What is NVR and How Does it Work in Security Systems?

NVR systems, on the other hand, use IP (Internet Protocol) cameras that send video signals over a network. NVR systems work by recording digital video from IP cameras, which can be connected through Ethernet cables or even wirelessly.

Key Features of NVR:

  • Digital Technology: NVR works with IP cameras, providing higher resolution and better overall video quality.
  • Remote Access: Many NVR systems allow remote access, meaning you can monitor your security cameras from anywhere using a smartphone or computer.
  • Installation: NVR systems are more flexible because they use network cables or wireless connections, allowing for simpler installations compared to DVR systems.

Pros:

  • Higher resolution and better image quality.
  • Easier to scale and expand.

Cons:

  • More expensive than DVR systems.
  • Requires IP cameras, which can be pricier.
