A Refurbished DVR Makes For A Good Beginning CCTV System
So, you are in the market for a basic security DVR? If you are the type that like to keep things simple then there are a number of ways you can start a basic CCTV system. Using a VCR is okay at first until you need more options. Even our most basic standalone DVRs have way more options than any multiplexor or quad setup. Multiplexers will only let you see your security camera footage, but do not record.
Most of all the refurbished DVRs listed on this page were returned to us are because our clients wanted to upgrade to more channels of security. In fact, most of the refurbished DVRs are standalone DVRs and cannot be upgraded. Standalone DVRs are embedded integrated circuits and they do not have the extra room to house more DVR cards. Sometimes we get items returned to us because the DVR stopped working, but we were able to fix it and offer it again at cheap prices!
Your security is a continuous process and depending on the intensity of your application you will need to upgrade. These upgrades becomes another clients treasure! Most of the broken DVRs we take back, just needed a hard drive replaced or repaired circuits. This is your gain because you can use a refurbished DVR to grow into a setup that will be in line with your budget. With technology advancing, you'll be surprised at what gems are tossed out.
We get some really good DVRs, from previous clients that just wanted to upgrade. So it never hurts to check out a clearance shelf, or refurbished shelf! You can find a really cheap refurbished DVR here --- as low as $99.00!
