Hello hectyre,
i agree with tomcctv, you are looking for NVR ( Network Video Recorder), and i suggest you thinking of having Analog video recording system , isnce it has been revolutionized by Digital video recording technology, which provides crystal clear video quality and flexible storage. But stability and network ability are being core parts of remote digital video management to build up more stable and reliable security system.
Some of the main advantages of network video recorders are:
- extremely better image quality
- ease of use
- advanced search capabilities searching a video with specific date and time
- simultaneous record and playback
- no image degradation
- improved video compression and storage
- remote internet monitoring
- recording
- maintaining and more.
- manageable over i phone, but need in this case a compatible software
Network Video Recorders come in various channel camera inputs. starting with 1 channel NVR and can go up to 64 channels. The NVR has a built in multiplexer which will allow you to view all of the camera channels at one time on one screen and all the video is saved to the hard drive separately. Therefore, the conventional way of connecting a switch, quad, or multiplexer is not required with a NVR.
I hope you find these information useful
