Episode 56- DVR vs NVR: Cracking the compression Code🔄

Introduction:

To understand the fundamental differences between Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and Network Video Recorders (NVRs) is crucial. This article aims to demystify the major difference that sets these two systems apart.

1. Data Compression Dynamics:

The core distinction lies in how DVRs and NVRs handle data compression, especially in the context of IP cameras. In NVR solutions, IP cameras, whether utilizing H.264, H.265, or AI coding, independently support these compression formats. The critical aspect here is ensuring the NVR is compatible with the compression format chosen by the IP cameras. While DVR compresses data based on its own supported format. Whether it's H.264, H.265, or other proprietary formats, the DVR dictates the compression method. This streamlined process simplifies compatibility concerns compared to the dynamic nature of NVR solutions.

Episode 52- How to select right DVR

Introduction:

One of the crucial step is to select the right DVR (Digital Video Recorder) for your security cameras. Here, are some key points you must keep in mind while making the decision.

1. Camera Megapixels Compatibility 📷

Start by assessing how many megapixels your cameras can record. We know that live view and decoding parameters in a DVR may differ from recording parameters. While a DVR may support a 5MP live view, the actual recording capacity may be capped at 2.5MP. Choose a DVR that aligns with your camera's full recording capabilities for optimal performance.
