What is a DVR?
A (DVR) Digital Video Recorder is in simplistic form, a PC which acts like a VCR in that it has the ability to record and playback video images. The DVR takes the feed from a camera and records it into a digital format on a storage device which is most commonly the hard drive.

Are there differences among DVR software?
Absolutely, just as important as the hardware is the software that operates the hardware. The software that runs the principal functions of the DVR is driven by a database. The architecture and design of the database are crucial for system stability and speed of which it processes the data. Quite often poor database structure will slow down even the best hardware and in many cases, cause system crashes.

Key cards cannot be copied like a key can and if an employee leaves the business the key card can easily be voided instead of having to change the locks. Key Card systems can also be integrated with software so you can log the movement throughout the facility.
