The main advantages of digital recording are maintenance-free operation for longer periods of time and increased stream resolution. Consider a 24 hours time lapse VCR, which does the job in most cases. Every 24 hours, one has to change the tape, or program the VCR to automatically start over when the tape reaches the end. Time-lapse VCRs that record hundreds of hours on a tape - they just do not record every fraction of a second, but merely one image at every x seconds. If recording is not triggered by motion detectors, one can fail to catch the very important moment on tape. In another words, in order to record continuously (say 30 frames per second), there is only so much a tape can take. Digital technologies increase the storage ten or even hundred fold: a 60Gb hard drive stores live video for a week.

MPEG-4 is the next-generation, global multimedia standard, delivering professional-quality audio and video streams over a wide range of bandwidths, from cell phone to broadband and beyond.

Here is the suggestion for the basic DVR system:

1. DVR (4, 8, 16 channel) example
2. Hard Drive (SATA Hard Drive) example
3. DVR Camera(s) example
4. BNC/Power Cable(s) example


You may also need one of the following items for video output in order to configure the DVR settings:

a. VGA Converter (D/V or BNC)
(If you connect the DVR to computer VGA monitor)

b. BNC/RCA-12ft cable
(If you connect the DVR to regular TV monitor which support RCA connection)

Note: DVR DOES NOT SUPPORT PLUG AND PLAY.

Depending on where you live, your country may use any one of three video standards:

* NTSC (National Television Standard Committee), developed in the U.S. in 1953, is used in North America, most of South America and Japan, and it provides video resolution up to 525 lines.

* PAL (Phase Alternating Line), developed in Europe in the early 1960s, provides up to 625 lines of resolution, and it’s used in most other areas of the world.

* SECAM (Sequential Color Memory), which also provides up to 625 lines of resolution, is much less common but is used in France and parts of Eastern Europe and Africa. (PAL usually works for SECAM.)

NTSC and PAL are not compatible. To make sure you’re choosing the right CCTV, be sure you know which video standard your country uses before you make your purchasing decision.
