Looking for cost efficient Security Surveillance system for your Business and/or

Surveillance System has become an integral part of your home or business

security solution. When searching to purchase a CCTV security system or security

DVR (Digital Video Recorder) system, you will find that there are certain

decisions you need to make before purchasing your first security DVR system.

There are two basic types of DVR: A PC-Based DVR system and a Stand-Alone

DVR system, both systems are same purpose, "RECORDING" and "Monitoring"

24/7. Then what is the difference between PC-Based Security system and Stand-

Alone Security system?

A Stand-Alone DVR is a unit that looks like a VCR but it is actually a computer

running on a Embed Linux or RTOS (Real Time Operating System, Custom

modified system) system designed to function by itself as a digital video

Recorder. A PC-based DVR system is a regular computer, with a DVR capture

board (card) installed and configured, which basically transforms the basic

computer into a full functioning DVR system. The system usually runs on

windows XP and Vista which perform on the same basic functions.

PC-Based DVR system can carry multiple hard drives and multi capture cards to

support large amounts of cameras (up to 32 channels) In general when PC base

and stand alone DVR came out to the market  PC-based DVR system had much 

more advanced features than stand-alone models and their processing power

was stronger giving them the ability to process images faster and better. They

also are better suited for upgrades and system expansions. But as time passed,

Stand-alone DVR systems became more and more powerful and became very

comparable to PC based DVR system in their performance and functionality.

PC based systems still have more upgrade and expansion options, and for this

reason most large institutions such as banks, malls, Schools, Big buildings, and

airports utilize PC-based models rather than stand-alone DVR system. The

convenience stores, shops, warehouse, gas stations, private parking area and/or

Home using Stand-Alone system.
