What is the difference between DVR and NVR?

DVR means Digital Video Recorder and it is an electronic device used for recording digital videos into a storage device. It is used to record programs when connected to a television via a coax cable. While NVR means Network Video Recorder. NVR records simply by using IP cameras, the cameras work when connected to a network cable. The IP cameras are connected to the NVR by using an alternative network provider or the network is directly connected to the NVR.

The difference between the two electronic recorders is that, while DVR uses the simple method of connection just like every other electronic recorder, NVR uses a set of IP cameras which are connected by using network. The problem with NVR is that, a user who is not technologically inclined might encounter problems while connecting and this might be a little bit frustrating, unlike DVR which has cameras s that have been fully set.
