Hybrid Recorder (XVR / DVR)

Hybrid Recorder (XVR / DVR) Solutions in Bangladesh

Record analogue and IP cameras on one system, and upgrade at your own pace

Many buildings in Bangladesh already have coaxial CCTV cabling in place. Replacing everything at once to move to IP cameras is costly and disruptive. A hybrid recorder solves that. DVRs record HD analogue cameras over coaxial cable, and XVRs (hybrid DVRs) record analogue and IP cameras together. That lets you keep what works, add IP cameras where you need them and manage everything from one recorder.

Smart Safety & Automations Ltd (SSAL) supplies, installs and upgrades DVR and XVR systems for homes, shops, offices, schools, factories and commercial buildings across Bangladesh. We plan each system so today’s setup supports tomorrow’s expansion.

Recorder Types We Offer

DVR (Digital Video Recorder)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a DVR and an XVR?
A DVR records HD analogue cameras over coaxial cable. An XVR is a hybrid recorder that supports multiple analogue formats and IP cameras on the same unit.

Can I keep my old CCTV cameras and add new IP cameras?
Yes. An XVR lets you keep your existing analogue cameras and add IP cameras to the same recorder.

Will my existing coaxial cable work with HD cameras?
In most cases, yes. We test your existing cabling during the site survey and replace only what’s necessary.

How many days of footage can I store?
That depends on the number of cameras, resolution, recording mode and hard-disk size. We calculate the right storage for your target retention period.

Can I watch my cameras on my mobile?
