Customer question....

If he was broken into, and say they took his DVR, is there a piece of equipment I could install as basically a secondary DVR elsewhere in the house, so all the data was not lost.

I have a Samsung SRD-1650DC DVR

Thanks.

Not familiar with the product, but most dvrs can be networked and some can be remotely recorded

The alternative is to use a lockable box or hide the dvr

This old nugget again, the amount of cctv instals I have worked on where the dvr is below the 42" lcd, av tuner , vcr and sky box, laughable!, and by an insurance policy stipulated accredited security company, hmm!.

Or another dvr

got an even better whinge.....

stood in the bar playing back the cctv in front of the punters so a memeber of staff can bitch about another memeber of staff messing with there documents !

We use a dvr that backup alarm events or all event remotly to the cloud, but you have a finite amount of bandwidth so it needs careful setup.

Might be better to use something that allows ftp upload and use a nas box or something. Or setup 2 nas boxes as raid 1 in different locations (but on the same lan.

Get it installed to NCP 104 and all your worries will be solved.

while id agree with the sentiment, most worries would be solved but this particular one?

NCP 104 requires all recording equipment and power supplies to be tamper proof and in a secured cabinet. Secured data cabinet bolted to the floor with the power supply located inside would sufficiently secure the dvr and not invalidate any insurance claims. Would still hold recordings of the incident.

However most installs have the dvrs plonked somewhere convenient and plugged into the wall...

I reckon you'd be lucky to see 5% of dvrs in box or cab ?
