Let’s explain some fundamental faq’s about DVR recording with your hidden camera or spy cam.
What is the difference between a DVR and a VCR? – A Digital Video Recorder (DVR) system records high resolution digital images to a hard disk drive (HDD) and eliminates the requirement of maintaining VHS tapes. Since the video images are stored digitally, the image quality will not degrade overtime, as would a VHS tape when recorded over multiple times. The time-saving search capabilities of a DVR will enable the user to locate the desired video clips via user defined parameters (camera, time, date, etc.)
How do hidden cameras work? A small board camera is built into an everyday item. The camera can be wired which means it is connected to the DVR or VCR using a cable. A hidden camera or spy cam is usually wireless or ca, in this case the camera transmits a signal to a receiver that is connected to the DVR or VCR.
What is a Spy Cam? A spy cam is different from a hidden camera as it is a stand alone camera that cam usually even record audio in addition to video. It is not installed into an every day object like a hidden camera.
How many wireless cameras can you have in one location? – You can have up to four wireless cameras in one location. You can view all cameras at once using four receivers or you can use one receiver and switch to each camera. You will only be able to view one camera at a time if you only use one receiver. If you want to install multiple wireless cameras in one location it’s best to order them at the same time so that we can put them on different channels and you will need a quad.
What is a Quad? – A Quad splits your monitor into 4 sections allowing you to view 4 cameras at once.
Will a Quad allow four cameras to record at the same time? – Yes you can record all four cameras at the same time. You also can record using a switching monitor, which will record the camera that is showing at that moment.
How many hours will a DVR record? – The amount of time a DVR will record for is based on the size of the DVRs hard drive, the number of cameras recording and the number of frames per second it is recording at. One camera recording in Real Time uses 1 GB per day. So a 16 camera system will use 16 GB in one day.
The DVR pictured here offers a great combination of a color quad/multiplexer and a full frame digital video recorder. Motion sensing features allow you to record only when motion is detected which will increase recording capacity. It has four channels to record up to four cameras with audio for up to 5,000 hours on the removable 250GB hard drive (Note: 4 camera wireless sets will not work with this unit. Only one wireless camera can be recorded at a time).
Works well with any Spy Cam or Hidden Camera. It can record each camera separately or in quad mode. Separate recording mode allows you to view playback for each camera in full screen mode. The hidden cameras shown by clicking on the link above all use CCD cameras inside them.
What is CCD? – CCD is used in professional cameras because of it’s high resolution quality and it’s ability to record in low-light situations. CCD is basically a small silicon chip that receives light and turns it into voltage variations which makes up an image. It’s usually measured in inches with 1/3″ CCD being the standard. They are higher priced but are great for cameras that may require vision in near darkness.
You can even connect up to 4 mini wireless color spy cameras. Just attach the FREE receivers that come with the camera to the DVD recorder and you have an easy home or small business surveillance solution!
