What is a Security DVR?

• A Security DVR or personal video recorder (PVR) is a consumer electronics device or application software that records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card or other mass storage device (local or networked). The term includes set-top boxes with recording facility, portable media players (PMP) with recording facility, recorders (PMR as camcorders that record onto memory cards) and software for personal computers which enables video capture and playback to and from disk. Today some television sets even come with digital video-recording facilities integrated from the factory; LG was first to launch one in 2007

Installation:

• Remove the base attachment, place the camera on the base. Let the camera fixed hole side of the card connector with the hole corresponding to the base, with screw cap to its connectivity. Then adjust of a good angle, and slightly tighten the screw cap (in order to adjust angle later)
• Ripped double-sided adhesive of camera base, and then place in the appropriate vehicle location ( not connected with the body), can be repeatedly open laser spotlights key to determine the approximate location to be recorded (in the press when you open the key under the laser spotlights, searchlights will be issued a red laser light source, light points, namely, the camera recording direction as shown in the center of the region), adjusting the base after the press so closely bonded with the body
• Re-adjust the camera angle at this time, in the regulation of the process, can be repeatedly opened by laser spotlights the key to accurately determine the position to be recorded. Regulate the post-tighten the screw cap, the installation is finished

About DVRs:

History

• The boom of video cassette recorders (VCR) in the 1980s and 1990s brought the ability to not only view feature films at home, but record live television for later viewing. The natural evolution of this technology was to introduce a means of pausing live television or rewinding a live program to catch something the viewer had missed. In 1999, two companies unveiled these devices at the international Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. ReplayTV and TiVo were the first hard-drive based digital recorders released to the consumer market. The popularity of the TiVo device is a result of its easy-to-use interface and software, which synchronizes the unit with the specific cable or satellite provider's channel lineup. As a result, cable and satellite companies have gotten into the DVR market, leasing the devices to subscribers for a monthly fee

Significance

• The explosion of TiVo sales has helped eliminate VCRs from the home entertainment marketplace. DVRs typically use a user-controlled program guide to set their recording schedule. VCRs rely very much on people programming start and stop times, which often lead to errors in time and channel programming. In addition, the integration of a cable or satellite receiver with a DVR eliminates clutter in a home entertainment center, combining two boxes into one
• DVRs were not solely to blame for the demise of the VCR. The expanded availability of digital video disc (DVD) players, which provided a high quality viewing experience for movie watchers, played a dominant role in the death of the VCR

Function

• DVRs function very much like a VCR, but with a hard drive taking the place of a tape. A video signal is carried by a pair of cables which run from the wall to the converter box. The lines each carry a unique video signal, which is what allows a viewer to watch one program while recording another. (If the setup includes a TiVo or a separate DVR, another pair of cables will go from the converter box to the DVR.) One cable will leave the back of the DVR and run to the television, providing the audio and video of the broadcast
• When a program is being recorded, the DVR compresses and saves the streaming video into a digital movie format. This provides a buffer when pausing, rewinding and putting a program into slow motion. It also maximizes the space available on the hard drive

Features

• The basic features of a DVR are the same from platform to platform. Each allow you to record programs for playback, pause live television and rewind to a specific segment of the broadcast. The majority of recorders permit advance scheduling from 1 to 2 weeks and have the option to record an entire season of a particular show
• DIRECTV, which calls its product the DIRECTV Plus DVR, manages recordings and groups them by title. TiVo's recorders provide suggestions based on recording habits and user input. Viewers can rate their favorite shows and the TiVo software uses the trends to develop a list of shows that the viewer may enjoy
• TiVo also has a host of interactive features, including music, video and photo sharing, and a function to transfer recordings to iPods or DVD

Considerations

• While cable and satellite companies will lease their DVRs at a monthly rate, TiVo's business model was originally based on lifetime memberships. Consumers would purchase their TiVo and then a license from the company for $249. This provided lifetime access to the service. In 2006, TiVo ceased their lifetime membership program, joining cable companies in charging a monthly fee for use of their service

Considerations

• A major turning point for TiVo was the introduction of their dual tuner recorder. Series 1 and 2 were single-tuner units, which meant that a viewer could only record what they were watching. As cable and satellite providers released dual-tuner modules, TiVo came under pressure to do the same. The Series 2 DT recorder was released in 2006 and quickly followed by the Series 3 release that year. This allowed viewers to watch one show and record the other or record the show they were watching as well as another program

How to choose a Security DVR?

• Ultimately, a DVR's picture quality, like a VCR's, depends on the quality of the signal coming in, whether that's from your cable or satellite provider or from an off-air antenna
• Decide whether you need a tuner. If your TV does not have a built-in digital tuner (ATSC) and it is connected only to an antenna, buy a recorder that contains a digital tuner. That will enable you to continue receiving broadcast TV when analog broadcasts end in February 2009
• Do you want the most programming features? The services from TiVo might have more features and functionality than some of the offerings of cable and satellite companies. But you might have to buy another box, deal with another remote, and possibly pay another monthly fee
• Would you prefer to have fewer boxes and service providers to contend with? Inquire whether a cable box equipped with DVR functionality is available. If satellite service is an option, consider getting a receiver that includes a DVR
• Keep in mind that you might have to pay a separate fee for the DVR service. And some satellite and cable DVRs work only with the service provider's programming and won't record from other sources, such as an antenna
• Do you want to edit recordings or store camcorder video? Then you need a DVD recorder or DVD recorder/hard-drive combo
• Do you want to record HD content? Your options right now are an HD-capable DVR that's incorporated into your cable box or satellite receiver, or a TiVo HD DVR
