Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to DVRs and also here. So is anyone kind enough to explain to me the difference between standalone DVRs, network DVRs, Triplex DVRs, Multiplex DVRs, Linux Based PC DVRs & embedded DVRs? Do all of them have the function of remote monitoring? If not, what function or specification would differentiate those with remote monitoring and those without? What is the difference between M/JPEG & M/MPEG format? Does it matter which format it is? What is the common format that people go for? For remote monitoring, what is needed to enable the remote monitoring? Is it necessary for the DVR to have a web server in it to do remote monitoring? Do we log into the internet to view the CCTVs or will there usually be a software to install in the remote computer to view the CCTVs live?
I'm relatively a DVR idiot, so I guess will need your help before I know which one suits me. Thank you guys.
