The development of the recording devices has been particularly remarkable, the old DVR (Digital Video Recorder) has been superceded and systems now use an NVR (Network Video Recorder).
These devices have vastly increased storage capacity, measured in Terabytes rather than the megabytes of yesteryear, and offer many useful features, such as PoE (Power over Ethernet). Where we used to drive cameras from boxed 12 volt dc or 24 volt ac dedicated power supplies, the NVR powers the cameras down the single CAT5E cable that carries the video signal.
Typically, even an entry level NVR that can record up to 8 megapixel, 4K UHD on all channels, at real-time up to 400 FPS. Most NVRs support the latest H.265 video compression codec for greater storage savings in addition to traditional H.264. The NVR offers a range of features suited for advanced applications, including remote monitoring station integration, P2P connectivity for remote viewing on mobile devices.
