Introduction To Hikvision DVR With Basic Operation
Posted By : Shiv Shankar | 30-Apr-2018
Basic difference between the NVR and DVR
NVR stands for Network Video Recorder, and DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder.
As an electronic device, DVR inputs information directly from the cameras, and the video is then encoded and processed within the DVR. To say this, DVR would play a central role in DVR security systems and the cameras could not work alone.
Well, on the other hand, NVR is like a software program that simply inputs video from the network. To say this, video on NVR has already been encoded and processed within the camera.
With the background knowledge of what the NVR / DVR system is and their differences, let's explore the advantages and disadvantages of NVR and DVR, and then you will know which makes you better.
See the table below for quick comparison between NVR and DVR, and later I will explain in detail.
