DVR/NVR Installation
The heart of any CCTV system is a reliable video recorder. We install and configure professional-grade DVRs (for analog cameras) and NVRs (for IP cameras) that store, manage, and retrieve your security footage. Our recorders feature large hard drive capacities (2TB to 16TB+), support multiple channels (4 to 64+ cameras), and include advanced features like motion detection recording, scheduled recording, and remote access. We ensure proper RAID configuration for data redundancy, optimize storage settings for your retention requirements, and set up user accounts with appropriate access levels. All installations include comprehensive training on playback, export, and system management.

What's the difference between DVR and NVR?
DVRs process analog camera signals and convert to digital. NVRs receive already-digital signals from IP cameras. NVRs typically support higher resolutions and more advanced features. We recommend based on your camera type.
How much storage do I need?
Storage needs depend on number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, and retention period. A typical 8-camera 1080p system needs 2-4TB for 30 days. We calculate exact requirements during consultation.
Can I access recorded footage remotely?
Yes, all our DVR/NVR installations include remote access setup. You can view live and recorded footage from your smartphone, tablet, or computer from anywhere with internet.
What happens when the hard drive is full?
DVRs/NVRs automatically overwrite the oldest footage when storage is full. You can also set retention periods or get alerts when storage reaches certain levels.
How do I export footage for evidence?
We train you to export footage via USB drive, network transfer, or direct download. Exports include time stamps and digital watermarks for authenticity.
Do I need backup power for the recorder?
We strongly recommend UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) backup to protect against power outages and prevent data corruption. We can include UPS in your installation.
