Digital Video Recording (DVR) Systems To Protect Your Business

How DVR Systems Work?

A DVR System (Digital Video Recording) surveillance allows you to monitor your business from anywhere on any computer. Magen DVR systems can digitally record up to 3 months of activity and allow you to retrieve archived video instantly. No more videotapes to change, to store and to search. DVR provides superior quality and sharper pictures than tape recorders. With a DVR system you can set a higher resolution to give you the picture quality that you need.

Show Off Your Business

Once you have the system in place and the images captured, you just might find other uses for them. Sure the main purpose is security, but you may just discover that some of the images will add interest to your website. Show off your business to potential clients by putting some of the images you capture on your website! Let them see the traffic in your store, the movement in your parking lot or how construction is progressing at your site.

Modify Your Existing System

Magen Home Automation can modify your existing tape system so that switching to DVR doesn't have to involve a costly investment. This modification can save you money upstream, while providing you with a system that's easier to operate and with improved security and quality.

Savings In Time And Money

DVR systems store data on hard drives. This saves you the trouble and cost of frequent changes of tapes, saves on storage space, simplifies accessing and makes it really easy to back up your data. And most important, searches are much easier and faster. That's where most of your time goes when checking out a suspicious activity. With hard drives, access is random. You enter the date and time, and any part of the video can be accessed instantaneously. You can skip forward or backward with ease. When watching live video, you can pause and replay even while the DVR continues recording.

Always on or motion activated Magen Home Automation can install your DVR system to operate uninterruptedly or to activate only when motion occurs in the camera's area of supervision. With Motion Activation on, you save the trouble of searching through data that records only an empty room or yard and you conserve space on your hard disk for the data that's really important.

For direct viewing, a warning sound when motion is detected can alert an operator to inspect the monitor more closely. Magen Home Automation offers a motion-tracking feature which enables a camera to identify a suspicious activity and to follow that object without manual intervention.

It can also automatically zoom in, in order to alert an operator. And of course, It will record all the activity it sees on your DVR.

Protect Yourself Indoors And Out

Magen's DVR systems can serve for both indoor and outdoor protection. Obviously, you are already aware of your need for protection against burglars who attempt illegal entry. That's where your outdoor alarms and camera systems are set up. Your DVR system will help prevent them from getting in, or will provide the evidence on them if they do. But you also want protection against dishonest employees, especially at the Point of Sale (POS), that is, at your cash register. That's where goods and cash change hands and it's the easiest place to steal. Magen DVR systems for POS surveillance can reduce losses by deterrence and by rapidly identifying dishonest employees.

Self Detection Of Faults

Magen Home Automation DVR systems also include self monitoring processes to detect faults in system operation. If a fault is identified in the DVR system operation it will automatically reset the security system so that you are always protected. After restart, the DVR system will return to the settings in effect prior to fault detection.
