DVRs Are Holding Their Value in Surveillance Systems
Despite the industry’s push toward IP-based video systems, DVRs are still in demand for many applications and end users.
Considering the continued attention given to the rise of IP in the security industry (particularly at this year’s ISC West), it would be understandable if you assumed that DVRs are about as widely used as tube TVs or video cassettes. After all, with all the features and functionality IP offers, why would anyone want to be tied to an analog recorder? No, network video recorders (NVRs) are the way to go. Right?
That assumption is more or less true when it comes to new installations, where a majority are making the choice to go all-IP, says Dan Cremins, director of product management for Ottawa, Ontario-based March Networks.
