About Recorders

Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and recording servers are the storage and management backbone of any IP camera system. The right recorder must handle the camera count, resolution, retention requirements, and analytics processing your project demands — while remaining reliable enough to record continuously without gaps. We install recorders from Hanwha Vision and Axis Communications, selecting compact desktop units for small offices and rackmount servers for multi-site enterprise deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much storage do I need? +
Storage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, compression, and retention period. A typical 16-camera 1080p system recording 24/7 at 15fps with H.265 needs roughly 20–30TB for 30 days of retention.
Can I expand storage later? +
Yes. Most commercial NVRs support hot-swappable drive bays, and enterprise recording servers can be expanded with additional storage units.
