If you want to use a video recorder with your CCTV system, you must first choose what kind of technology you want to use. There are 4 solutions on the market:

P.C. based digital video recorders    

Stand-alone digital video recorders with static compression 

Stand-alone digital video recorders with dynamic compression  (
on this page)

If you want to explore the detailed pros and cons of the various types, you can read the tutorial on video recording technologies. DSE offers state of the art products of each different type of technology

Why buy a DSE stand-alone video recorder?

EASY TO USE
D-Vision digital video recorders offer all the power of the PC-based D-Vision system, with the simplicity of a video cassette recorder. Extremely easy to use, even by untrained staff.
POWERFUL
8/16 video channels, 8/16 audio channels, hardware H-264 super compression, 705x576 high resolution, remote control from any station. Complete compatibility with remote connection to D-Vision PC-based systems.
COMBINE PC TECHNOLOGY WITH STAND ALONE SIMPLICITY
DSE DVRs are the ideal solution for those who want the compression power of a PC but without opting for an entirely PC-based system like the D-Vision cards. This appliance is simple to use, with its own controls and without requiring a keyboard or mouse. It can be connected directly to an analog monitor or TV. Just like a home video recorder.

Main features

Versions available
D-Vision stand alone DVRs are available for 8 cameras.
DV-N8 - 8 video inputs + 8 audio inputs

D-Vision + embedded LINUX
With its embedded LINUX operating system and powerful D-Vision H.264 compression chips, DVision-N video recorders deliver the same performance as a PC-based video recording system, while still being completely independent and able to function without any external devices.
H.264 Compression, 704x576 resolution

DSE DV-N video recorders use the powerful compression chip H.264 (MPEG Part 10), the state of the art in digital video compression, which delivers the utmost in ultra compression without affecting image quality. Compared to the previous versions of MPEG4 technology, H.264 compression eliminates the ‘pixelated effect’. The powerful compression technology means being able to capture high resolution video (704x576 pixels) without occupying a huge amount of hard disk space.
Lengthy recording times
H.264 compression enables you to record for long periods onto a normal hard disk.
To guarantee maximum flexibility, DSE video recorders are supplied without a hard disk. You can insert a maximum of 2 SATA or PATA hard disks of any capacity in order to tailor recording capacity to meet your needs. The hard disk does not need to be formatted as it is recognized by the device when turned on, and automatically formatted with a Linux EXT3 file system. The disk space occupied by the recordings depends on the recording parameters and amount of movement which occurs. To get an idea of this, with 16 cameras set to record continuously, a 160 Gb hard disk can store an average of 7-10 days uninterrupted recording. You can fit up to 2 hard disks with a larger capacity (250...300 Gb) to increase recording capacity. When all the disk space is used up the device continues to record, automatically overwriting the oldest images.
Smooth “jerk-free” images
DVision-N video recorders deliver a smooth flow of images without the jerky effect which is typical with VCRs or cheap digital systems. The images are viewed at a rate of 25 frames/second (real-time). The total capture rate when recording is 100 f/sec (DV-N8), distributed between the channels recording.
Mouse control

DVision-N DVRs can be controlled with a PS2 mouse without using the front keypad.
Access from remote PC via LAN or internet

One key strength of the D-Vision N system is its advanced networking capacity. The rear Ethernet port means you can connect the DVR directly to a LAN network to enable remote viewing of images on any PC in the network, or via the internet (with the D-Vision software supplied). DV-N video recorders are unique in that they are enabled to handle the PPPoE protocol, and can be directly connected to an ADSL modem without a PC, network or router.
Advanced network functions
D-Vision N video recorders stand out for their high level networking functions. A DV-N can be monitored simultaneously from more than one PC, and more than one PC can be used to display images from various video recorders. H.264 compression enables multiple streaming with minimum use of band width.
Compatibility with D-VisionXP and RT cards
D-Vision remote access software is also used for connecting up to D-Vision PC cards, and it is therefore possible to create systems comprising DV-N video recorders and PCs with D-Vision cards which can work together, and all be monitored from one or more control stations.
Connection with Internet Explorer
As well as connecting by means of D-Vision software you can also use Internet Explorer to view images in real time.
DDNS support
The DV-N video-recorders support all major DDNS providers. Remote access through the Internet will be easy even if your ISP cannot provide you a static IP address. 
Full Triplex
Recording continues even during playback and/or access from remote PC.
Motion detection
The Motion Detection function, which has a sophisticated programming system for each individual camera, enables recording to be activated only in the event of an intrusion, meaning there is no need to take up space on the hard disk unnecessarily.
Audio
DV-N video recorders have an individual audio input for each camera for connecting to cameras with audio.
Back up function
Unlike stand-alone video recorders without an operating system, like the DSE models in the DR range, DV-N video recorders save recordings in a format which can be handled by a PC, and this makes file management and copying much simpler. The files, which are saved into handy files divided by date and camera, can be copied or burned onto disc from any remote PC. The video recorder itself enables you to perform a manual back up of the files onto a hardware connected to its USB ports.
