If you need to keep an eye on what the people operating your CCTV systems are monitoring, Vista has a solution. The new VFS-L20B-MD is a high quality flat screen monitor with built-in MiniD DVR. This tiny DVR allows recording at up to 25ips at CIF onto a removable SD memory card, allowing you to monitor all that is seen on the screen.
Notes on CCTV Recording: Recorders come in two types - Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs), and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs)
Video Cassette Recorders
The workhorse of CCTV installations, the VCR deserves more attention than it often receives. Although VCRs have been with us for over twenty-five years, the technology has continued to advance and is very effective.
Digital Video Recorders
DVRs represent the new standard in CCTV recording. By using an internal hard disk for digital image storage, DVRs offer:
High Quality Images
Total playback control
Functions galore
Extensive network capability
Low maintenance
These benefits mean that, given the option and the budget, few users are beginning to opt for a traditional VCR solution.
