Video Recording Systems

Your surveillance video recorder will be one of the most important pieces of your surveillance system. No matter how many cameras you have, you will need to store the video. Have you ever seen a news report where the video recording of a crime is so grainy that it is literally worthless. What is the reason? They most likely are re-recording over the same video tape for YEARS. You might as well save the money and only get one of our "dummy" cameras. But, if you intend to use your surveillance for reference or evidence, it critical that you purchase a quality recorder. Now you need to decide whether you want to record digitally to a DVR or record onto VHS tapes using a VCR.

What surveillance video recorder is right for you?

Digital Video Recorder (DVR) - Unlike VCRs, DVRs record video to a computer hard drive or other media such as a CD or DVD. This makes a DVR easy to maintain because there are no bulky tapes to change or the risk of losing video quality when recording over previous footage. Except for the World's Smallest DVR, all of our other DVRs can be operated and monitored remotely from anywhere in the world using the Internet. While the surveillance video data is stored on the DVR it can be protected from loss caused by operating errors, tampering and accidents.

VISEC Surveillance Software - VISEC is a software that is installed on an existing computer that you own. VISEC turns that computer into a surveillance system. You can connect up to four cameras to the computer and the video can be set-up to record to your computer, VISEC's server or an FTP site. VISEC can be run in hidden mode, which means that anyone using your computer would not know it's running.
