ACTi Digital Video Recorders

Shop stand-alone digital video recorders (DVRs) for coax-based systems—ideal for upgrading legacy analog installations without re-cabling—then match the recorder to your camera signal (AHD/TVI/CVI/SDI/EX-SDI) or select a hybrid DVR when combining coax and IP; size by channel count (4/8/16/32+), recording resolution and frame rate, storage bays and codec efficiency (H.265/H.265+), and features such as audio, alarm I/O, spot outputs, and mobile/remote viewing; choose the appropriate format: HD-AHD (high-definition over coax; cost-effective upgrades), HD-TVI (broad analog-HD ecosystem with wide camera support), HD-CVI (long-run performance), HD-SDI (uncompressed 1080p, low latency), EX-SDI (extended-distance SDI with greater resilience), HD-AVS (specialty analog-HD for select ecosystems), Hybrid (coax AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS with add-on IP channels), and SD-DEF (standard-definition DVRs for budget legacy installs).

Digital Video Recorder Frequently Asked Questions
What is a digital video recorder (DVR) and how does it work?
A digital video recorder (DVR) is a device used to record video footage from surveillance cameras. It captures video in digital format and stores it on a hard drive, allowing for easy playback and management of recorded footage. DVRs typically support multiple camera inputs and can compress video files to save storage space, making it easier to access and review footage when needed.
How many cameras can I connect to a DVR?
The number of cameras you can connect to a DVR depends on the specific model you choose. Most DVRs come with a set number of channels, ranging from 4 to 16 or more. Each channel corresponds to a camera input, so if you have a 4-channel DVR, you can connect up to four cameras simultaneously. Ensure you select a DVR that meets your surveillance needs.
What video quality can I expect from a DVR?
The video quality from a DVR varies based on its specifications and the cameras used. Many modern DVRs support high-definition video resolutions, such as 1080p or even 4K. The quality is also influenced by the compression technology used, like H.264 or H.265, which optimizes storage without significantly sacrificing image clarity. Higher resolution options provide clearer images, which can be crucial for identifying details.
Can I access my DVR remotely?
Yes, many DVRs offer remote access capabilities, allowing homeowners to view live footage and recorded videos from their smartphones, tablets, or computers. This is typically achieved through a dedicated app or web interface provided by the DVR manufacturer. Remote access is beneficial for monitoring your property while away and can enhance your overall security.
What should I consider when choosing a DVR for my home?
When selecting a DVR, consider factors such as the number of camera channels, video resolution, storage capacity, and remote access features. Additionally, evaluate the compression technology for efficient storage and the ease of use of the interface. It's also essential to check compatibility with existing cameras and any future expansion plans you may have for your surveillance system.
