HDCVI DVR

Despite the wonders of the formula used in crafting the coaxial cable which lend to its ages-old and worldwide popularity, what sets HDCVI’s technology apart is it’s DVR. The cable remains and functions in exactly the same way as ever, which is to the advantage of anyone looking to set up a closed-circuit security camera system. But what separates the mediocre and outdated from the high-end and modern, in this case, is the way that signal is broken down and separated at the receiving end. Let’s examine the chipset and how it works to do what, until now, has been impossible.

RX Chip:

The receiving-end(RX) chip on an HDCVI DVR takes in high definition analog signals from each camera unit and translates them to digital signals in order to have them displayed on monitors or coming through speakers. For audio, the chip uses I²S(Integrated Interchip Sound) which is an interface standard that communicates PCM(pulse-code modulation) audio data which is the method which makes it possible for analog signals to be represented digitally within the HDCVI platform. The chip also contains the I²C(Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus interface as a semiconductor.

The chip supports control and configuration of specific video parameters like brightness, saturation, hue, contrast, and dual-way control signals. This is because every one of these parameters represent an HDCVI video input channel and digital output channel which contain their own built-in equalizers.

Despite the substantial differences in capacity for higher resolution video quality, the RX chip is still very closely related to the conventional analog DVR. They actually share the same interface standard which is another reason it’s so easy to upgrade by simply switching out the units. And the built-in equalizers make it so these digital video recorders can receive HD video signals from up to 500m away, which, in and of itself, is another milestone improvement in the security camera industry.

Network Capability:

Despite the fact that HDCVI is a direct evolutionary counterpart to traditional CCTV systems, which were not network-capable, HDCVI actually can be. And the most wonderful part of this feature is that, when compared to IP cameras, you don’t have to configure an IP or remote access on every single camera(which can be daunting and tedious). You only connect the DVR to an Ethernet cable, not every single camera. This translates to one point-of-contact for the network, one device to configure, one device to manage, and one single place to access and enjoy all your cameras as they display on a beautiful OSD(On-Screen-Display) built into and included with the device.
