What is the benefit of a DVR System as opposed to a traditional Time-Lapse VCR System?
A DVR system gives several benefits over a standard VCR-based system. First and foremost, the DVR takes the majority of human error out of the equation. With a traditional system, a staff member or person in charge of the security system would have to remember and be present at the same time each day, to change the tape in the VCR. Commonly, due to unforeseen circumstances, or neglect or even simply the fact that a tape is currently being reviewed, the tapes in a traditional system do not get changed or are not always recording (due to the limitation of a VCR). Without a tape in the system, it cannot record, and therefore, anything that would happen at your home or business would not be recorded! A surveillance system is in place to constantly monitor, and keep record of all occurrences.
