What is a primary advantage of using a Network Video Recorder (NVR)?

Using a Network Video Recorder (NVR) offers a primary advantage in that all components are integrated as part of a network. This means that NVRs typically work with IP cameras, which transmit video data over an Ethernet connection. This network-based architecture allows for greater flexibility in system design, including the ability to reduce installation costs and time by utilizing existing network infrastructure.

Additionally, NVRs benefit from superior scalability, allowing users to easily expand their surveillance systems to include more cameras without significant rewiring or equipment changes. The network approach also facilitates remote access to video feeds and recordings, enhancing the ability to monitor security from various locations. This interconnected system is particularly advantageous for larger installations where a centralized and easily managed solution is preferred.
