Complete recording solutions
More than a box in the corner
When footage is missing, the camera is rarely the cause. More often the disk was too small, recording was set to the wrong schedule, or remote access broke after a router change.
We start from how many days of footage you need to keep and how many cameras are recording, then choose the recorder and disk to match.

Recorder brands we work with
We suggest the recorder that matches your cameras and storage needs.
The recording chain
From camera to your phone
Footage passes through four links. A weak one anywhere means gaps in the recording.
- 1 Camera Captures the video. Its resolution and frame rate decide how much storage each hour uses.
- 2 Recorder DVR, NVR or hybrid. Its channel count and supported resolution must match the cameras.
- 3 Hard disk Surveillance-grade disks sized for the days you keep. When full, the oldest footage is overwritten.
- 4 App and remote access Live view, playback and clip export on your phone or desktop, over a secured connection.

Frequently asked questions
DVRs and NVRs, answered
What is the difference between a DVR and an NVR?
A DVR records HD analogue cameras connected by coaxial cable. An NVR records IP cameras connected by network cable. Your cameras decide which you need; a hybrid recorder takes both.
How many days of footage will my recorder keep?
It depends on the number of cameras, their resolution, the compression and whether they record all the time or on motion. We work it out for your system, so you know the number of days before you buy the disk.
Why does my recorder only keep a few days of footage?
Usually the disk is too small for the cameras and resolution, or recording is set to continuous on every channel. Adding a disk, using motion recording on quiet cameras or better compression often fixes it.
Can I use a normal computer hard disk?
We do not recommend it. Recorders write all day, every day, and desktop drives are not built for that. Surveillance-grade disks are designed for constant recording.
My recorder is old. Do I need to replace the cameras too?
Not always. A newer DVR often works with existing HD cameras, and a hybrid recorder lets you add IP cameras gradually. We check your cameras before suggesting anything.
Can I watch the recorder on my phone?
Yes. We set up remote access and the viewing app, change the default passwords and test it from outside your network before handover.
