An NVR vs. a DVR. What's the difference and which one should you choose? Well, you've clicked on the right video.
When you're shopping for a video surveillance system, it can be confusing to know exactly which products to get. This is especially true when it comes to picking out your video surveillance recorder. In this video, we walk you through the main differences between a Network Video Recorder (NVR) and a Digital Video Recorder (DVR).
As a general rule, DVRs are used with analog video surveillance systems, whereas NVRs are used with IP security systems. But the full answer really isn't that simple. There are quite a few differences between these two surveillance devices, but it really all comes down to this question: how does each recorder receive the surveillance feeds?
The biggest difference between NVRs and DVRs have to do with the video inputs. DVRs have video input ports, which are typically BNC connections. These video ports hook up to an analog security camera to receive the raw video footage from the cameras. It then does all the video encoding, processing, and analysis right there in the recorder.
NVRs, on the other hand, do not have any physical video inputs. Instead of raw video through a cable, NVRs take all of its footage from the network. IP cameras, unlike analog cameras, do all the encoding and video processing within the camera. It then streams its video feeds to the network, where an NVR can pick up the streams.
I hope this video helped you learn something about security cameras! If it did, be sure to give this video a like. Let us know in the comments if you have any additional questions!

Was hoping to hear more about the PRIVACY aspects of both systems. Since we are here for SECURITY, all I care about is how PRIVATE my system is and how my recordings are protected from being accessed by "third parties" (data collection companies, hackers, cyber punks, security surveillance companies/employees, etc.). In terms of data breach, there is an inherent risk in running network-based systems rather than analog (closed circuit) systems, correct? Probably the biggest "pro" of the DVR system is that it is CLOSED loop. Great info on this video! Keep it up!

@adamgerald849 28 күн бұрын

It's as private as you make it. You don't have to connect either type of recorder to the internet if you don't want to access it remotely. You can have the NVR on a closed network that only includes the NVR and IP cameras. If you do want to access it remotely it has to be connected to the internet, and it's unlikely anyone will ever hack it and view your cameras, as long as it has an internet connection it isn't 100% safe from being accessed. There have already been many cases of law enforcement getting warrants to access citizen's camera footage without their knowledge. One article I read said that the police knew a man was using Ring cameras inside his home, and they got a warrant to access all of his footage directly from Amazon without even notifying him. And there are other such cases of people's Amazon and ring accounts being hacked and letting unwanted eyes to watch them directly through their cameras.

IP is certainly not without it's quirks. In multiscreen live view via a local monitor (usually above quad screen) most will only display sub stream, whereas a DVR will display in main stream in multiscreen in 4/8/16/32/64 way. Also as you mentioned, accessing the IP cameras web front end remotely can be tricky when they are powered from the NVR's POE ports. however, most manufacturers have ports that can be opened in the router to allow the internal porting from LAN side to the relevant POE port, it can be buggy but it can save a site visit.

I just installed a Lorex Fusion NVR system with 4 x 4K bullet cameras, that I bought on sale at Costco, then added another 4 x open box 4K WIFI cameras that I bought on sale from Lorex. If you’re just looking for a simple system, the 4K WIFI cameras might be the way to go as you don’t need the NVR, just the app on your smart phone or tablet, but if someone steals your camera, you lose that & the video on the memory card too. That’s why I have all mine connected to the NVR. The wired cameras use CAT 5e cable, so I was able to snip the NVR end connector off the cable, drill a small 1/4” hole through my wall, feed it through, run it to the NVR, then cut to length & crimp a new connector on & test. I control everything through my iPhone app.

My old DVR finally quit, but it ran and never dropped a camera. While, my NVR-IP camera's dropped all the time, always a nightmare. My NVR just blew up, lighting strike and I ordered another hoping for better connectivity and less dropped camera's with this newer unit. I will say looking at a 4k picture is vastly better than Analog.

@revo2maxx Жыл бұрын

There is 4k video DVR's as well. IP cameras are not as good as Analog HD. Sure I have many NVR's and DVR's in my life. Mostly because I do Tech Support and how can someone offer advice of something you don't own. So with that said. People Pushing POE NVR's over a DVR is Just Dumb lol. 1 cable LOL. really Siamese cable is 1 cable as well lol.. My DVR's works better then any NVR I own and my most Costly NVR is almost 500 without a HDD. My 16ch DVR from same company less then 1/2 that and does better to the second footage. IP camera and Analog HD camera in same area of the road, The NVR lags about 500ms behind the Analog camera. What I mean is looking at a road cars going from left to right or right to left. I can see the footage in the DVR before it shows in the NVR. PTZ, audio, Video and power down 1 cable in my DVR just the same as my NVR. Also having to reset the NVR you have to setup all cameras again. In a DVR you Reset the DVR and cameras come back online as they are connected. Only have to setup Detection zones and recording. NVR you have to Device Search, setup, change pass, then setup what ever might not have been pulled from the cameras setup and still have to setup Recording types.. Now I will admit AI camera on my AI NVR is faster to setup then on my AI DVR. Because the AI camera NVR pulls data from camera. AI DVR I have to setup the Events. However it is still Faster to setup a DVR over a NVR AI or Not..

One thing you forgot to mention in the favor of the coax cameras is the far increased distances that you can run the camera cabling while still having it home run to the DVR and also not having to deal with baluns. You can get 4k UHD cameras in coax as well as IP, but if you are working in larger buildings you don't have to worry as much about cable length limitations.

Will that be the same? If not how is that accomplished. If the Poe nvr is connected to the router will we be able to search and record incidents or just view the stream? What are my options? Also would we be able to scale up to add one or two cameras to cover ATM machine? Oh and buy the poe cameras and cables. I will have to do this myself.

Even then you could always use a generator or solar. I don't like the shift toward cloud based or internet based stuff. Someone could hold your recordings hostage or spy on you or hack your cameras and other nefarious things. Edit: AND NO SUBSCRIPTION.

It has a 3 terabyte hard drive for storage that is also expandable by adding another hard drive inside and use them in tandem. One 3 tb hard drive at the highest 4k resolution gives me roughly 2 weeks and 2 days worth of recording ability,but before it loops and records over the beginning of your surveillance,you can save clips of video to a flash drive.

I'm totally sold on IP cameras. Configuration is usually easier (many have their own built in web interfaces you can use instead of fidgeting with OSD menus), you don't have to special order cables like you do with analog cameras (you can get Ethernet cables just about anywhere), I've personally found analog cables to be unreliable/poor quality, you don't have to order power supplies separately for the most part (other than maybe buying a PoE switch), there is added convenience of being able to link into your home network with a PoE switch when convenient to do so, ethernet is less bandwidth constrained (I can configure my IP cameras for higher FPS at the same resolution), and at least as far as I've experienced, there are no or far less issues with noise/interference requiring additional hardware like ground loop isolators when using IP cameras. I currently use a "pentabrid" Hanwha Techwin DVR with both analog and IP cameras, but from here forward, I will only add IP cameras and slowly retire the analog ones.

I have a single wide mobile home in the western NC mountains. Being a very security conscious guy, and due to recent theft on property, I am looking for the best system to use. Trying to stay wireless mainly due to disabilities, yay for old age. Ring seems to be a very close fit, but I saw a review on them and it didn't look good, compared to about 6 others. My strategy (outdoors) is to have 5 cameras, two flood lights with cameras, a two way door bell, and 3 interior cameras that you can rotate, tilt, etc. I have mainly raccoons, bear, skunk, possums, and very rarely deer that visit. So I don't want to be jumping 20 times a day, if that sort of thing can be avoided. I had a driveway sensor that worked perfectly in alerting me of visitors when there, but until recently, someone decided to steal. My closest neighbor is roughly 1/4 mile, and I don't think the bear ate it! This is what has pushed me to seek a decent security system, that won't break the old man bank. I would like also to have the ability to record 24/7, and somehow the software can take me directly to detections, if that exists. The ring system keeps dragging me in, but reviews are saying no. Don't mean to bother you sir, and I have no idea where you're at, but if you could point to a system that will put these idiots behind bars, I'd appreciate it! Thank you sir.

Hello, If you are using an DVR or NVR setup. It is recommended to put a Hard Drive in the unit for recording footage. And if wifi drops, the hard wired cameras will still record to the DVR/NVR. Now if you have wifi cameras, then i would suggest putting microSD cards in them for redundant storage in case your wifi does go down but theres still power going to the camera.

@Mike-mw8wi 6 ай бұрын

12v DVR systems are out there for purchase. An inverter could always work as well. As far as setting up for a van, a NVR system would work just as well. After setting everything up with a computer hook the NVR to a router and you can always access that router through your phone/laptop/tablet and still have full access to the system, as long as you are within distance of that router. So you could set it up to access your cameras while on the road or near your van by just connecting to the wifi signal created by the router. It should be possible to even set your router up to automatically link up to your home wifi so you can access your system while you are at home but not close to your system or even while you are away from home but your van is still there. I just wouldn't hook it up to your primary battery on the van. What I would do is have a secondary battery set up, hook the 12v dvr/inverter to that and run it off that. Use a secondary battery kit with an auto disconnect to ensure you dont drain your primary battery but also keep your secondary battery charged. There are "kits" for just what you are wanting. Probably the less expensive option for just what are looking for but there are a lot of different ways your can accomplish what your are asking.

@timbirkenbach5092 6 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your answer!! This is great! Will still have to make my final decision but I do like the nvr option. Just need to find a way to run everything on 12V as the inverter has only 85 percent efficiency. Therefore only run it if I have to. I guess a remote relay could then switch it off below a certain voltage to prevent the secondary battery go flat entirely. Thanks soooo much again!!

@@timbirkenbach5092 They secondary battery kits that I saw on Google did just that. Cuts off the link between the batteries at a certain voltage (non running voltage 12.7ish) and relinks the batteries at a certain voltage( running/charging voltage 13.5ish). Great kit to have for more than just a camera setup. If you do the second battery option just remember to get a deep cycle one. It'll last longer and will be cheaper than a regular cranking battery.

I don’t really want to run 4 x Ethernet cables from the attic to downstairs where the NVR will be located near the router. I’m hoping to be able to run 4 x cables to a switch (hopefully not needing power for the switch) in the attic then one cable downstairs to the NVR. If I done this, would I be able to see all 4 cameras as they would have individual IP addresses? Is that possible?

Hey Neil! If you run the cameras to a switch, the switch will need to be powered. Then you can run the 1 cable from the switch to your router and from the router to the NVR.

Can i install an 8MB camera along with lower brands like 5MB cameras in the same network and the same NVR ?

@tootory9506 Жыл бұрын

I could really use some Laymans term. Examples. 😂 Let's say, I would like to use the NVR box and plug in my Arlo router that's on my network .. Would I then be able to see my Arlo cameras without using the Arlo app ? Arlo has recently announced that version 3 cameras and back will NOT be supported on the Arlo App as of March 2023 I would like to mix some older and newer Arlo, wireless Rechargeable cameras with some more permanent outdoor cameras, such as the NVR style .. and then see them and record them on my own NVR box, privately, without Arlo or any third-party app? Is this at all possible? Any elaboration would be helpful? I would like to be self-contained, not reliant on subscriptions, or other companies, holding my Camera data But I Would Like To Be Able To View, Turn on Lights, Alarms Ect From Any other Location I May Be? Also Any recommendations for cameras that have the ability to move with 360?

second question- semi related- is there any way to make a smart NVR that can save the clips as a translated license plate record- So once the telephoto captures the license pate the NVR saves 30 seconds both sides of video?? from the other camera?? I mean, there has to be a way to make it so the DVR saves a clip as ID picture or thumbnail from the Telephoto, then saves the normal cameras 1-2 minutes as the video clip..lol..

Not really sure what your asking!? However if your asking if you can take a camera on a NVR and have it trigger a PTZ camera or a Zoom camera so that camera can capture LP? If that is the question then the Answer is Yes. However for it to translate into a LP Picture then you would still need a LPR or LPC or ANPR type camera to make the picture of the plate come out. However I mean I have an AI NVR, that triggers from a 4mp camera and makes my 20x, 27x, 36x and 37x go to a set preset and doing so on playback I can get the LP of the Vehicle going by. I do have 10x and 12x cameras that I can get plates with as well just need to use different camera do the trigger and have the preset of the camera in an area closer then my main mounted PTZ's are pointing too. I also use my cameras in Color at night so there isn't any issue with IR reflection or having to change settings to capture at night. However that can be done as well. Better to use different IR Blaster however if you need IR at night.

I have some security cameras that were already installed on a house but the previous owners took the nvr with them. Am I able to buy any nvr system and it’ll be compatible with the existing cameras?

@NellysSecurity 8 ай бұрын

Do you know the brand of security camera? Usually if it's ONVIF compliant, you should be able to pair them with a third party NVR. But we always recommend sticking with the same brand for optimal compatibility.

Which has better video results? Which has cheaper setup? Which has average most powerful and optional cameras to choose from?😊

@franciscovillarreal1177 Жыл бұрын

Ip cameras are great and have there pros.. but the updated analog cameras are pretty dang good the cameras are cheaper on average and don’t have to worry about cable limitations of course there’s stuff for that in ip cameras but that’s one more thing you got to buy. Also the set up on ip cameras are more complex and also require a computer to setup everything. With analog of a camera goes out all you do is replace it and it’s working like new. If a Ip camera goes out you would need that computer again for the new camera due to the ip address. Over and all I say if you can afford it go right ahead but I recommend analog cameras due to you still see 1080p and some 4k for alot cheaper and easier instal including if one goes out

The NVR is typically where the footage from the camera is stored. If you go with putting SD cards in each camera, then individually add them to the app, that is a method you could take if you do not want an NVR!

Hello, if you disconnect an internet connection to the camera, it will not be able to talk to the outside world. It would only be viewable locally in that scenario. The system must have an internet connection to view remotely.

Does your Nvr/camera use up bandwidth while they record 24/7? Or does it only use bandwidth when viewing remotely ?

@NellysSecurity Жыл бұрын

The cameras will use local bandwidth if they are on the local network and recording 24/7. One way to combat that is to put the cameras on a segregated network. Which can either be an NVRs builtin POE switch, or utilize dual NICs on an NVR. The system will only use remote bandwidth with your ISP if the system is programmed to send out event notifications and/or you pull up the system remotely via app or PC software.

@NellysSecurity Жыл бұрын

Great question! We have never carried that brand or model before ourselves. From our experience, If the NVR is getting power, and the cameras are plugged into the back, or added via separate switch, then technically it should still record. You would need a hard drive in the nvr as well for storage. But I would reach out to the manufacturer of that NVR to make sure that they use that same standard.

Hi there I have an IP system and it worked fine untill the NVR stopped working - so I bought a new NVR and connected the 4 cameras into the back using the PoE leads but the monitor and the system only seems to recognise one of the cameras now - how do I re-program it so it picks up all four cameras?

@NellysSecurity Жыл бұрын

Hey David! Very good question! you more than likely have to find out the IP addresses of the cameras and the login info as well. Then input it into the new NVR channels so the NVR can recognize them. If the NVR is a different manufacturer than the cameras, you may have to use the ONVIF protocol as well. If any of the equipment you got was from us, please hit up our tech support -> customerservice@nellyssecurity.com / 855-340-9999 If not, i would advise reaching out to wherever you purchased the equipment from for proper tech support.

Sorry for the confusion! That section is referring to an NVR and camera system on a segregated network not connected to the LAN or the Internet. If you connect your NVR to the Internet, then you will have access to your video feeds remotely.

That would be a question for Night Owl! Usually the hardware for 2-way audio will be at the camera, which you could interact with from a mobile app most likely. If you want to use the DVR to initiate 2-way audio, it should be able to as long as it has an audio input.

I'm little lost here. So both NVR AND DVR systems need cables that need to be routed in the Attic and behind drywall ? It seems in this video to me like NVR still needs cat5 cables with eop switches and extenders and DVR is coax cables instead per the video I don't see cost savings for electricians labor since cable is cable.

@NellysSecurity 10 ай бұрын

For a DVR setup, direct connection to the camera is required for video. The camera also needs a power connection. So you would run a siamese cable from the camera (connected to video and to power) to the DVR, connect video to the DVR, then connect power to a power supply. That's one cable run for each camera, 4 terminated connections (2 DC pigtails, 2 BNC), and an additional power supply. For an NVR setup, direct connection to the camera is not required. For a simple 4-8 channel system, you can run a single Cat5e cable from the NVR to directly to the camera. This would be a single cable run per camera and two terminated connections (RJ45), and no additional power supply. Already there is material and labor savings, since Cat5e requires less terminations and is easier to terminate. But this setup isn't required, especially if you have many cameras or great distances to cover. All that an NVR system needs to function is network connectivity. You can have PoE switches located around your property, allowing you to run shorter cables to your cameras instead of having to run the cables to the NVR. You can also use devices like the IPCamPower splitter/combiner to install two cameras on one long cable run, cutting your labor in half essentially. In a nutshell, IP camera systems are much more flexible, easier, and faster to install. With one or two cameras you might not notice a huge difference. But as your systems grow, the time and labor you'll save will be more significant.
