DVR Security Camera Recorders
DVR security camera recorders are designed for analog and HD-over-coax CCTV systems. They provide reliable local recording, long cable distances, and professional-grade performance with no monthly fees.
Professional DVR Recorders for CCTV Cameras
DVR security camera recorders (Digital Video Recorders) are used with analog and HD-over-coax CCTV cameras. Unlike NVRs, DVRs process video directly from cameras connected via coaxial cable, making them ideal for existing coax installations or long-distance camera runs.
Our DVRs are trusted by homeowners, businesses, and installers nationwide for dependable 24/7 recording, simple system management, and scalable channel options — all without cloud storage or subscription fees.
DVR vs. NVR — Which Recorder Is Right for You?
DVR Security Camera Systems
DVRs work with analog and HD-over-coax CCTV cameras using coaxial cable. They support very long cable runs, are easy to upgrade from older systems, and can record up to 4K Ultra HD.
NVR Security Camera Systems
NVRs are designed for IP cameras using Ethernet (PoE). They offer simpler wiring, advanced AI tools, and are recommended for new professional security camera systems.
