A DVR is a service that allows you to record and store television programming on a hard disk drive in your digital receiver so that you can access this programming at any time. The DVR functions like a VCR, without a videotape and with more sophisticated recording and playback options. Choose from live television or recorded content. A DVR will allow you to stop, pause, rewind, or fast-forward your program.

Answer : Think of the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) as a VCR that can display live video footages from multiple camera sources simultaneously and record them on a hard disk. Unlike VCR, there is no casettes or tapes to change. You can search & review any recorded surveillance video based on date, time, camera, events, etc. You can playback video from single or multiple cameras simultaneously. For higher end DVR, you can also playback the recording while the recording is still on-going. See similar questions...
