A Network Video Recorder, also known as an NVR, is essentially a hard drive that stores data for recording security systems. It stores the recorded footage and gives you the ability to view and organise your security data through a monitor.
When you’re considering installing a security system, you’ll be faced with two options when it comes to recorders: Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or Network Video Recorder (NVR) systems.
