How Covert DVR Cameras are Replacing VCR Devices

The video surveillance recording industry now uses covert DVR cameras, replacing the VCR devices with greater advantages. However, the covert DVR camera is more expensive than the VCR version.

One significant advantage is that the covert DVR camera will switch to full video after detecting movement and record suspicious activity. Static images are recorded every five or 10 seconds. Images are recorded directly to hard drives, allowing a person to view any specific time of interest. The VCR required lengthy fast-forwarding and searching for the same moment of time. Additionally, the covert DVR camera does not require tapes, so there is no concern for storage space or tape deterioration.

So what is the purpose of a covert DVR camera? For those concerned with the activity occurring during their absence from home with nannies or caretakers, or at a place of business, hidden cameras and spy equipment is one way to provide this reassurance. If illegal activity is suspected, you should consider using a covert DVR camera.

Rising crime rates is a cause for safety and trust issues. The flexibility of a covert hidden spy camera can be programmed to fit your needs. Monitoring with a covert DVR camera not only provides reassurance, but also confirms suspicions about someone.

Choosing the right vendor for an important security purchase is vital. Usually, the hardware, such as cameras, electronic locks and motion detectors, are uncomplicated. Even if one brand has more features than another, or seems to be more reliable, each type will get the job done. Having the right vendor to install the system is what can make a huge difference.

Therefore, obtain professional installation of the equipment. This is not any easy, do-it-yourself project. Money and time is not saved by inexperience that will put your family and/or valuables at stake. A maintenance contract is also essential, so chose a vendor with whom you can easily work with to create a good working relationship.

Word-of-mouth referrals from similar businesses are an excellent source. Talk to family members, neighbors or co-workers with nannies and who use security devices. Find out if they are pleased with the service and quality of installation received.

Speak with current customers for feedback on their experiences. Make sure the company has been in business for many years with an experienced sales staff and technicians. During the sales process, pay attention to how you are treated by the salesperson. If he or she does not base recommendations on your specific needs, a quick sale and subsequent commission is their motivator, not customer service. Do not expect the service to improve once you make your purchase.
