IP NVR Video Recorders

Purchasing Advice
If you are interested in using Cyber Secure Cameras with a ProVue NVR (video recorder) please give us a call, several cameras are compatible but a few are not, we would be glad to confirm your selection. ProVue cameras are not for use with Cyber Secure NVRs.

Video Storage
Both ProVue and Cyber Secure systems use encrypted video compression allowing the size of the hard drive to be reduced. Hard drives are sold separately from the video recorders so you can select the hard drive size to store the number of days you require. ProVue systems use the industry standard compression while Cyber Secure uses a proprietary compression that produces higher quality recordings using half the storage. The hard drive calculator below will help you calculate the size of hard drive you should select based on the number of days you want stored. If your system requires a considerable amount of days stored, such as 2 or 3 months, the Cyber Secure system could turnout to be a lower cost solution due to the reduced hard drive requirements.

Installation
All video recorders are a type of computer so please be careful where you locate yours. Do not place it anywhere you would not put a computer. For example the attic is a horrible spot and a non climate controlled warehouse is not much better. Temperatures above 78 degrees allow the unit to operate but will substantially shorten its operational life due to the excessive heat.

Maintenance
Our NVRs (Network Video Recorders) record until the hard drive is full and then automatically delete the oldest files and continue to record. This gives you a consistent number of rolling days of storage. This is an automatic operation and periodic maintenance is not required. Our NVRs are designed for worry free operation, they operate year after year with very little maintenance.
