32 Channel DVRs Need Hard Drive Space
When you are looking at purchasing camera systems like these, keep in mind that you are paying for hard-drive space, DVR cards, and the support for memory and processing power. Never take a 48 channel DVR system lightly, they are very big systems and will be working very hard for you. We build our 32 channel DVR systems without interference from direct air flow so the 4U rack mount has every bit of space to handle real-time recording. At real-time recording you will eat plenty of hard-drive rather quickly. If you are trying to build a security camera system from scratch use our
DVR hard drive calculator to figure out how many hard-drives you need to achieve a comfortable
window of record time for your 32 channel DVR. We have made many ready-to-buy 32 channel DVRs (listed above) with the right amount of record time for each set of cameras. But it never hurts to check and make sure, so that you have peace-of-mind.
32 Channels Will Need A Back Up DVR
In the event you have a high risk business or residential application where a 32 channel DVR is needed, you will either need to purchase a secondary system or have a back up. We stress this so that you have a plan for when things go wrong: everything in life needs and will require maintenance, including your 32 Channel DVR. You cannot just simply set it and forget it. When creating the back up to your 32 Channel DVR, you should go with the highest points of security first, and then add the extra channels you can afford. Another great reason to purchase a PC based 32 Channel DVR as your back up is that you can always have more room for expansion. As your security budget increases, you can add the right channel card to achieve the amount security cameras you need.
Leaving Room to Expanding a 32 Camera System
Thirty-Two Channel DVRs can support up to 16 cameras, so it is best to use them if you have 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 or 32 security cameras. Although there is some wisdom to saving money and buying a 24 channel DVR if you have less than 25 cameras, you will want to consider you future needs and if you will want to upgrade in future as you will save considerable money by only buying the DVR once.
Again feel free to call us and we will help you choose the right 32 channel DVR.
