Network Video Recorder (NVR) and Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

NVRs and DVRs record video from multiple cameras for continuous or event-based surveillance. An NVR works with IP (network) cameras, receiving digital video over an Ethernet network, while a DVR works with analog cameras, receiving video through coaxial cables. Modern recorders support high-definition recording, remote viewing via mobile apps or web browsers, motion detection, video analytics, and large-capacity hard drives for long-term storage.
