Upgrade or Not?

Should I upgrade my analog (VCR) system?

Yes. VCR has become obsolete. It was good for its time. Now DVR is replacing it.
Chicago CCTV digital video surveillance has significant advantages over VCR based solutions. A few of them include:

• Reduced VCR tape management and costs
  There are no tapes to replace or store.  You can record weeks or months of video with no video tapes or system maintenance
• Record only motion
  A Chicago CCTV system is configured to only record when your camera detects motion.  This greatly simplifies reviewing of video as you only have to point and click on the specific motion detected event. This prevents tedious review of hours of tape in which nothing of value has been recorded
• 24/7 Access with a web browser or PDA
  authorized personnel can view live or previously recorded video from all of your locations using any Internet connected computer, worldwide
• Asset protection capability
  You have the ability to highlight an asset and then send a notification phone call, email, etc.) if it has been taken.
• Expandability
  You can start with a solution that meets your needs today, and expand to as many cameras or days of storage you desire in the future
• Integration
  Digital technology allows integration with Point-of-Sales Systems, Alarm Systems, Monitoring Systems, etc. For POS integration, we can integrate with many cash registers systems and allow you to see/record the purchased item(s) when reviewing recorded video (this looks very similar to close-captioning when viewing TV).
