An NVR vs. a DVR. What's the difference and which one should you choose? Well, you've clicked on the right video.

When you're shopping for a video surveillance system, it can be confusing to know exactly which products to get. This is especially true when it comes to picking out your video surveillance recorder. In this video, we walk you through the main differences between a Network Video Recorder (NVR) and a Digital Video Recorder (DVR).

As a general rule, DVRs are used with analog video surveillance systems, whereas NVRs are used with IP security systems. But the full answer really isn't that simple. There are quite a few differences between these two surveillance devices, but it really all comes down to this question: how does each recorder receive the surveillance feeds?

The biggest difference between NVRs and DVRs have to do with the video inputs. DVRs have video input ports, which are typically BNC connections. These video ports hook up to an analog security camera to receive the raw video footage from the cameras. It then does all the video encoding, processing, and analysis right there in the recorder.

NVRs, on the other hand, do not have any physical video inputs. Instead of raw video through a cable, NVRs take all of its footage from the network. IP cameras, unlike analog cameras, do all the encoding and video processing within the camera. It then streams its video feeds to the network, where an NVR can pick up the streams.

I hope this video helped you learn something about security cameras! If it did, be sure to give this video a like. Let us know in the comments if you have any additional questions!
