Okay, you have a surveillance camera, but then how do you get the most out of it? You don't simply have it screwed to the ceiling or at the door. You will need the equipment to make your business/home watch the best there is in the neighborhood, surveillance wise. If you are deciding to upgrade your existing video recording of images captured by your surveillance cameras, check out the hottest thing to hit town - DVR software.
A DVR software will absolutely change the way you look at video surveillance and recording. It's time to make a big switch if you have frequently:
* Experienced irritation because you have to stop your surveillance recording just so you could review yesterday's footage.
* Worried about your loved ones at home or the cash register at the bar because you cannot be there to keep an eye on everything.
* Fumed and raged because you cannot store your files of footages just in case you will need them.
How Does the Software Work?
Contrary to your anticipation that the DVR software would be too complex to handle, it is easy to use. With the recording software, you can monitor live images from one to a network of 16 security cameras in one computer screen in just a few seconds.
This convenience saves you the time, because you can playback more than one recording since the recordings are stored in the hard disc of your computer. You also have the option of selecting motion detection for the recording - saves you hard disc space. To prevent unauthorized access to your system, you can have it username and password-protected.
The software, used with IP cameras enables you to upload or export live audio and video feed to the other computers in the security system. Other features include:
* Email notifications via the Internet or cell phones.
* A single software can work for a system.
* Allows control of your camera.
* Records in standard PC format.
* Intelligent interface.
* Automated tasks.
* All images are time-date stamped.
* Use zoom in and zoom out camera function.
What It All Adds Up To
A DVR software allows a stealth mode function, which won't alert your staff that they are being watched while at work. You can rest easy knowing everybody is performing up to par and not lounging around when you're away. Want to pan or tilt the camera even if you're miles away? You can do just that, as long as you have the software in your PC. Do you want a print of a selected image? That can be done too real fast. What makes the software cost-effective is its compatibility with a majority of security camera brands. You do not have to buy a new security camera and hardware just because you are installing the software.
The easy installation of the DVR software can be done in a few minutes. You don't have to spend for computer engineers to set up the software. With all the advantages you get, surveillance becomes easy.
