A smart surveillance video recording system uses both digital and analog recordings. This way, top surveillance professionals can make sure that they have everything covered with a back-up system to boot. But would digital and analog mean to you?

Going Digital or Analog?

If you remember your favorite Digital Video Recorder or DVR recording device that you used to control your TV viewing, you’ll be able to imagine the convenience it can give you when you’re prospecting for a surveillance video recording system.

DVR devices have left the analog recording system behind because consumers prefer its multi-functionality and control features, yet there are still those satisfied with the performance of analog recorders. However, using the combined features of the two for a surveillance video recording system has yielded far better results.

A DVR device provides the following functions: management, storage, and reviewing of extensive recorded files with ease and efficiency. The problem lies in the speed when recording multiple cameras simultaneously, and the likelihood of the system to crash.

In contrast, the video cassette recorder or the analog is considered a more dependable mechanical or electrical system. The system won’t “crash” or risk the stored information.

The use of the two operating systems for a surveillance video recording structure assures the security of the recorded images or audio. It is like having a back-up system for each system. The two combined gives an explosive performance. But if you are thinking of installing the system into your PC’s hard disk drive, you will be going digital.

A PC-based Surveillance Video Recording System

Home and small business surveillance security rely on a more modest surveillance set-up. A surveillance system is quite pricey, but consumers are willing to invest in a system as long as it responds to their different and unique security needs.

Using a PC-based video recording system for surveillance purposes can do away with added expense. You do not have to buy an entire DVR system. You will just need a camera, monitor, and a digital video recorder. You can use your personal computer, and with a DVR software and a PC video capture card, you can have your very own surveillance recording system.

Depending on your software, you’ll be using some configuration for the installation of your computer based surveillance system. The video capture card will transform images recorded by the surveillance camera into a digital layout accepted by your computer. You can put up a four camera system with your PC-based surveillance system.

The video capture card provides your PC-based surveillance system multiple functions and the option to enjoy live streaming on your monitor access the recording via the internet highway.

No Reason to Delay Home Security

The video surveillance systems cannot deter crime but you have the peace of mind knowing what’s going on when your back is turned. You can monitor what’s going on and you have control of over your family’s safety and the flow of your business operations.

There is no reason for any further delays in installing your home video security. With a PC, DVR software, and a video capture card and one or two cameras, you are set. Whether you are for a DVR or an analog surveillance video recording system, you are assured of your family’s safety and your business security.

I’ve been searching for the answer of my question on the net for 2 years but haven’t found any. I have a Tivo I bought in Los Angeles and now I moved out to Malaysia 2 years ago and seriously watching tv a bit sucks without Tivo. I know that activation requires subscription, and that’s impossible overseas. I’d like to know if I can use my Tivo for recording purposes, and hopefully for the forward/rewind functions. If I can and if it’s possible (I know it is), HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I really need help guys. Thank you.

If you have not looked into getting satellite TV from DirecTV yet, it is time to take a look. DirecTV offers the best in modern home theatre and television technology all at a price you will be able to afford. Included with the large assortment of channels is free hardware and installation. With the modern hardware you will no longer have to deal with the old problems of the old television watching days.

There are many problems with the old television systems and formats that television viewers have grown accustomed to over the years, such as the old fashioned and growingly obsolete VCR or Video Cassette Recorder. The Video Cassette Recorder certainly has it’s fair share of frustrating shortcomings. Taking a closer look at the shortcomings of the out dated VCR, let us first look at the magnetic video cassette tapes used for recording on and watching on the VCR. The old fashioned video cassette tapes, much like bigger versions of audio cassette tapes, have certainly been replaced by DVD’s, or Digital Video Discs, as a standard for watching. Just like audio cassette tapes with CD’s (or Compact Disc’s) for listening, video cassette tapes have become obsolete for viewing. But how about for recording? Although the technology of DVD burners has become more and more affordable, actually recording shows off of the television while you are at work is still a problem. Many DVD burners to not have a timer option and do not actually function like the VCR that you have become accustomed to. The other problem is, with most burn able DVD’s you cannot actually re- record over the same DVD. With video cassette tapes you were able to set a timer on the VCR and record shows while you were at work, with ease (when the VCR timer decided to work properly of course) and then re- record over the same tape the following week to catch the next episode. These problems are completely answered now with TiVo and the DVR, or Digital Video Recorder, that are both offered by DirecTV.

TiVo and the DVR system have totally and completely revolutionized the way television can be watched and recorded. With the TiVo unit, just on its own, you will be able to actually rewind and pause live television as it is being broadcast. If you do pause the television as it is airing live, you can come back to it later and fast forward all the way back to the point of where it is being aired live again. This way if you are watching your favorite show and need to run up to the store to grab some sodas or snacks, you can pause it and when you get back, you can actually fast forward through all of those pesky commercials!

To make it even more fun, all of TiVo’s great features are available at the touch of a button on your DirecTV remote control. When you get DirecTV you will also get a TiVo unit free and along with all of the other hardware, you will get it installed for free as well! TiVo on it’s own is truly incredibly and changes the way television can be watched all together. TiVo allows you to watch TV the way you want to. You no longer have to live by and watch television by the television schedule programmers schedule. You now get to pick what shows you watch, when you watch them, and if they play, pause, or even rewind! Truly amazing options and performance in that TiVo unit and all offered through DirecTV. Now in conjunction with this great new device known as TiVo, you can use your DVR (also offered through DirecTV) to make the ultimate TV recording package available!

UPDATE: It is no more, I have replaced this with 2x 1TB Hitachi external drives “Video Uploaded Soon”. They are very cheap at only $179 each on eBay. They will be connected to the main pc to backup & distribute media throughout my home. One of the 500GB drives is now in my replaytv & the other one will most likely be put in an external usb case.

About two years ago I bought five old Dell Optiplex computers that came from FCCJ with monitors & keyboards for only $30 each. I decided to use one as a cheap home backup server, So I bought two 500gb Seagate drives & crammed the rest of it with all of the spare large drives I had lying around. I have 7 hard drives running in it now which gives me 1.28TB, I do use it as a movie server to my XBMC & DLP projector. It can be expanded up to 24 hard drives as I am using the two on board Ide controllers as well as Maxtor ATA 133 pci cards which add four IDE slots a piece. The DVD drive is also network shared for my slim 3110ct portege laptops that do not have DVD/CD drives. I used the 6gb drive that came with the system for the OS Boot & merged the existing drives with XP Pro’s Disk Manager. After running out of places to mount the drives “The two 500gb drives are mounted to the bottom of the case with screws” I started using the plastic shells that samsung hard disks come in, Just cutting out the plastic where the cables go. A really nice thing is the push button case which makes it easy to open up & add more storage. Maybe not very pretty but cheaper & alot more storage than a Drobo… You can see me backing up my hacked XBOX with Cute FTP & I use Cobian Backup 8 Which is FREE to backup all of the pc’s.

Ok, Heres how I built this.

First off any computer say before the year 2001 or so may need a ATA 133 pci card that can be bought on eBay for about $10 That’s because older computers won’t see drives larger than 137GB. Each card can have up to eight IDE drives.

Next of course install XP & card drivers.
Then right click on “My Computer” go to manage & then “Disk Management” which is in the left pane. You’ll see all connected hard disks, To merge them all into a large drive just right click & convert them to “Dynamic disks” Then right click on the 1st Dynamic disk & choose “New Volume” Set it as a spanned volume. Then add the other drives you wish to have as part of the “Big Drive” that your making using the check boxes. Format them with NTFS. You will see the drives as one large drive under my computer. From there you just share it over the network.

Total Cost:

About $300 including the hard drives used. Over time I will pull out the smaller drives & use all Seagate 500GB seeing that they are only $109 on newegg they seem to be the best price for 500GB Drives.

Drives used “NTFS”

1. 6GB – XP Pro Boot
2. 250GB – Storage – Maxtor – Old Spare
3. 500GB – Storage – Seagate – New
4. 500GB – Storage – Seagate – New
5. 40GB – Storage – Maxtor – from ReplayTv
6. 40GB – Storage – Maxtor – from ReplayTv
7. 80GB – Storage – Maxtor – from old pc
