About Digital Video Recorders
A Digital Video Recorder (DVR) takes video signals from security cameras and converts the video stream into a digital format for storage on an internal hard drive. A DVR also provides a user interface to remotely manage many functions of the video files and cameras, including motion detection and pan/tilt/zoom features. At a minimum, a DVR should allow multiple users to view multiple cameras remotely. Effective video compression is one of the most important considerations when looking at DVRs. The most common video compression formats used in video surveillance are M-JPEG and MPEG-4. While proprietary compression technologies may provide superior quality, their lack of compatibility with Windows-based operating systems may become an issue for archival purposes. Issues of frame rate, resolution, disk size, motion detection, compression ratio, and camera noise all affect the storage capacity of a video surveillance system. High resolution is ideal to capture details, while high frame rates are needed to capture events. Frame rates of less than 20 fps tend to be jerky, while rates of 20 - 30 fps can be adequate for most surveillance needs.

Ramsey CCT960 960 Hour Time Color VCR With Audio

from Ramsey Electronics

Finally, Time Lapse recording made affordable for everyone, and without sacrificing a bit of quality! Standard VHS tapes are used in our CCT960. And get ready for this one...on a standard T-120 tape you can record up to 960 hours of video! Use a T-160 tape and you can record a whopping 1280 hours on one tape! And you can play those back in the standard 120 or 160 minute modes! Things may tend to move a tad bit quick though! No problem, you can slow down the playback to the corresponding record time for real time images. And it gets even better! The CCT960 even records audio in the continuous modes. That's right, you can have up to 24 hours of color video and audio time lapse recording on one T160 tape! This is not a modified VHS VCR, but one made from the ground up for Time Lapse and security use. Heavy duty 4 Head DLC drum gives you increased head life for the continuous duty operations normally used with these units. On-screen menus provide full control and setup functions, and are accessed by the IR remote control included. You can program timed start and stop recording, or external alarm input recording.

Users should note that the CCD image sensors in the cameras may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the cameras should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources.

About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.
