Security cameras and recorders share a tight bond, with the past progression, current development and future innovation of each so closely intertwined that you could make the argument that they are simply extensions of one another. As manufacturers continue to increase the resolution and performance of cameras, they also ensure that recorders can not only keep pace but anticipate and be prepared for whatever the “next big thing” in cameras may happen to be.
With today’s recording solutions, as with their camera cousins, there are a number of technologies and trends that are shaping video surveillance, if not the security industry itself. For the security integrator, these developments — and those to come — can translate into opportunity, including potential RMR. From a business perspective alone, therefore, it’s a smart idea to keep up with what’s happening with the development of DVRs and NVRs.
