It is very confusing these days to determine the differences between all of the product acronyms that are used to describe video recorder products. Life was simpler when the video recorder choices were between DVRs or VHS recorders. Now we have NVR, HVR, HD-DVR, HD over Coax, mobile, edge, VMS and others that are making it difficult to differentiate between these products.
With so many choices, it is clear that selecting the right recording platform isn’t going to get easier anytime soon. So, instead of just looking at the recording acronyms, your best option is to look at the platform and specifications. Understanding those will assist you in selecting the right product for the specific operating environment and application requirements.
