All Supercircuits DVRs feature the latest in H.264 video compression technology,
offering several advantages over traditional MPEG4 and MJPEG compression
methods. These include:
» Increased storage
capacity
H.264
compression allows you to
record higher quality video using up to 50-80%
less hard drive space than MPEG4 or JPEG compressions. This allows you to
record more video evidence on your device, or record higher quality video.
» Enhanced image quality H.264 compression delivers cleaner,
crisper images at high frame rates, resulting in a better user experience and
enhancing your ability to identify a suspect.
» Faster video transmission H.264 compression produces smaller file
sizes, resulting in faster transmission of your data when remote monitoring
your cameras via the web.

10 TIPS
to Optimize Your
Video Security System
Optimizing your DVR security system should
not stop with the selection of your recording
device … here are 10 tips to ensure that you get
the most out of the DVR you purchase:
1. Choose the right recording equipment.
Select a DVR with the features that your application
requires, such as number of cameras to be
recorded, storage capacity, Internet monitoring,
USB export, DVD Burning, motion detection,
recording speed, and resolution.
2. Set the right frame rate. This will
maximize your potential recording time.
3. Keep your DVR recording with the
overwrite feature. This ensures that your DVR
never stops recording.
4. Turn your Security DVR into a full
time security guard. Use alarm inputs, trigger
outputs, and motion detection to alert you should
something occur.
5. Don’t let conversations go unheard.
Most DVRs have audio recording capabilities,
allowing you to add a high quality mic or leverage
the microphones built-into your cameras to capture
a second dimension of the crime.
6. Make your Security DVR tamper proof.
Use password protection, conceal the DVR
and/or use a security DVR lock box to prevent
unauthorized access.
7. Protect your investment from
surges & failures. Prevent recording interruptions
from intentional and unintentional power outages
with a UPS (uninterruptible power supply).
8. Access & manage your Video Security
DVR virtually anywhere. Take advantage of this
powerful feature. We recommend a high speed
internet connection for the best remote monitoring
experience.
9. Be prepared to off load your video
(and audio). Caught on tape, now what? Keep
DVD’s and CD’s available for quick archiving and
sharing of evidence with law enforcement.
10. Don’t miss the important details.
Select a monitor with sufficient resolution to
provide the picture quality you desire.
