Frequently asked

questions

Do I need to change my whole system when I move to digital

recording?

No.A conventional time-lapse recorder can be directly replaced in

a CCTV system,giving all the advantages of digital recording

immediately, and simply for the cost of the recorder.

Maintenance costs for a VCR are very high, is the maintenance

cost of a digital recorder even higher?

One of the key advantages of digital recorders is that the maintenance

costs of are virtually negligible. The recording is made on a hard

disk,and hard disks are some of the most reliable electro-mechanical

products on the market, with incredibly long MTBF’s. No routine

planned maintenance is required.

Bosch digital recorders have a full 3 years’warranty.

What are some of the key concerns in determining what type of

digital recorder is needed?

The type and use of the recording is critical. To simply replace a

time-lapse recorder a single channel DVR is the obvious choice.For

multichannel time-lapse recording with occasional event recording

with network possibilities, the Divar is ideal.If the highest quality

(real time) or alarm recording is the goal then an MPEG2 based

recorder such as Hi-Q can be selected.Extending the recording or

archive time is usually by adding storage arrays.When building a

larger or distributed recording system the network accessibility and

control is of paramount importance.
