The marketplace for digital video recording has evolved into 2 primary technologies. Those that are hardware based and those that are software based. You will find on hardware based systems that the recording and playback functions are mechanically controlled by buttons on the unit much like the old VCRs. With the rapidly changing technology it is easy to see that video recorders using these technologies will be quickly outdated and rendered obsolete. Quadrox developed a software solution that runs on a high quality PC platform built and warranted by Hewlett Packard. Since it is software based, all functions, both locally and remotely are software controlled. This has the advantage that as software changes and technological advances occur, they may be upgraded without the need for yet another expensive hardware investment. Even though it might look like a PC, WebCCTV NVR is an embedded device that combines the advantages of standard hardware with the increased reliability and ease of u
