DVR vs. NVR: What’s the difference? And which is better?

If you’re looking to set up a full CCTV system with multiple cameras at your home or business, you might see the terms NVR and DVR thrown around. But what do they mean and what’s the difference between the two?

Basically, DVR and NVR systems do similar things - store video footage. But DVR uses analog technology while NVR is digital. You can save money on your surveillance system by using DVR cameras, but the quality might not be as good and it takes a little more work to convert your footage. And while NVR systems are more expensive, they’re much easier to set up and tend to come with more features like motion detection and audio.
