Rental Monitoring

Video Recorder Many of our customers have s built-in bias toward purchasing a smaller system than they need. So our advice is to purchase the cameras you feel are needed, but make sure your DVR is equipped with a few more inputs than you have cameras. This way for a minimal up front cost, you can add additional cameras anytime in the future without having to purchase an entirely new DVR. If you are like most of your customers, you will be glad you did, potentially saving hundreds of dollars.

Another common dilemma is the choice between a traditional time lapse VCR and a digital video recorder. The VCR cost less to buy, but most need to rebuilt or replace after 2 years or so of constant operation. Prices on DVR’s have fallen drastically, making them a very wise and cost effective choice. Here’s why: with a DVR, the only moving parts are in the hard drive. A typical hard drive will outlast at least 2 VCR’s. Add to that the wonderful convenience and ease of use of the DVR and it is an easy decision.

The DVR gives you instant accessibility, no hassling with tapes, any image degradation from dirty heads and better reliability. And our DVR’s with remote accessibility make it an even easier choice. The ability to log on from anywhere via Internet, and view your home or business is huge benefit.
