Security NVRs, A How To
Security is important. Whether it's protecting our home and family, or protecting the business that we worked so hard to create. When it comes to security, just what all do you have in place? An alarm? Unfortunately, with today's clever criminals, you need more than that. You need security that will protect you today, tomorrow, and many years to come. One such piece of security is a security NVR, and I'm going to talk a bit about that in this article.
So, what is a security NVR? NVR security systems involve using multiple cameras to monitor a location. Unlike the traditional cameras where the video is stored onto a tape, a security camera NVR stores the video digitally. This can be on a USB drive, disk drive, or even some sort of SD memory card. This can be quite handy, as not only does it allow you to easily store a large amount of video, but the video can also be set up to be transmitted over the internet. This is ideal for when you are on vacation, and you wish to check in on your home or office to ensure that everything is okay. In short, a network video recorder is taking security to a whole new level.
When buying an NVR system, there are a few different factors to look for. To start, how many cameras will come with the system? Obviously, a larger building will require more cameras. If you plan to place the cameras outdoors, make sure the cameras are weatherproof. Also, pay close attention to the video quality (is it in HD 1080P?), as well as the amount of megapixels (3 is good). In both cases, having a system with those specifications will lead to clear HD video. You may not think that having HD video is absolutely necessary, but it a crime ever occurs, the video quality can make all of the difference.
Finally, if you do decide to purchase NVR security systems, installation is not a difficult process. You will simply need to place the cameras in the ideal location. From there, you will connect the cameras to your security NVR while connecting the system into a power outlet. Finally, you will need to configure your system to work with your router and firewall. Once the system is all set up, you can then go about setting up remote monitoring, and any of the other additional features that you may wish to use. Just like that, you have given yourself a layer of protection that goes above and beyond what a criminal could ever expect.
