A 4 channel DVR is the entry level digital video recorders in the security camera industry.Most 4 channel DVRs are low cost and easy to setup. If your CCTV application calls for four cameras or less, then you should consider either a 4 channel DVR or an 8 channel DVR (as they are not much difference in price and will give you the ability to expand your security system in the future).

 

About 4 Channel Digital Video Recorders

 

The majority of 4 channel DVRs are going to be standalone DVRs which require very little maintenance (Unlike PC based DVRs, which have a Windows Operating system and need to have system updates and maintenance to avoid interruptions in the record process). Nearly all standalone DVRs have customized software that runs a custom version of the Linux OS platform.

 

Although some users may be afraid of using Linux as it sounds very technical; Linux is more popular than people think: Android phones, most website servers, and even some household appliances such as refrigerators and tv-boxes use a version of the Linux platform. The way in which one operates a standalone DVR is very similar to the way that one uses a VCR or TV DVR boxes. Most of our 4 Channel DVRs come with a remote or a mouse.

 

These 4 Channel DVRs are lightweight, so it is easy to relocate the unit if you move or decide to move it to a more secure room. 

 

Types of 4 Channel DVRs

Four channel DVRs typically come in three different options having two do with hard drive sizes, recording formats, and transfer connections.

 

Most 4 channel DVRs will have 120 fps (frames per second recoding), so even at the basic option you have real-time recording. Most of those DVRs are network capable and you can login remotely to check on live video or in some cases play back video.

 

How to Choose the right 4 Channel DVR


4 channel dvrs

So how do you select a 4 channel DVR? We always start out by asking this question: What are you trying to do? If you are a homeowner that just wants to keep an eye around the home, then simple, cheaper DVR may suffice. If you are not home much and always on the go, then you will want to look into a network security DVR.

 

People who are looking at a 4 channel may want to also consider a 8 channel DVR, to allow them to expand at a later date. You cannot expand or add more channels to standalone DVRs.
