Return To Surveillance Article Archive   Miniature Security DVR Systems and Portable Surveillance Devices By Hahn Baker Where space is limited owners of small establishments often look for miniature security recorder. Advances in modern technology have made it possible for the development of recording devices that fit into the palm of your hand, some are so small they even fit into a pocket on your clothing. The size of these new compact systems often makes people wonder if the devices have limited functionality however some of these systems have capabilities greater than devices three times their size. Hardware advancements have made it possible for storage devices to be created that are very compact, an example of this can be seen in todays SD memory cards that can be inserted into devices such as PC's and mobile phones. SD cards are now capable of storing gigabytes of data, their higher storage capabilities makes it possible for people to record lengthy video streams. Another example of advancements in technology can be seen in hard drives. As the technology has become smaller it has made it possible for a new breed of compact recording systems to be introduced to the marketplace. One particular miniature DVR is known as the Defender Sentinel 1, although the device is extremely small it has many of the same functions of larger digital security recorders, the system fits into the palm of your hand, has a built in hard drive and an LCD screen. You can attach up to four security cameras to the system and it contains a 320 gigabyte hard drive, with this amount of storage it is capable of recording a significant amount of video footage. The device can also be connected to the Internet so you can control its functions and monitor your attached cameras while you are away from your home or business. Ten years ago it would not have been possible to create such a compact monitoring system, modern technology has also made monitoring babies or small children much easier as a new breed of baby monitors are now available. Some time ago baby monitors only had audio capabilities and due to this you could hear a babies activities but you were unable to see what they were doing. Because of this the old baby monitors only gave parents partial peace of mind, newer baby monitor designs have smaller casings, they often have an LCD display and some have the capability to record video. A significant number of miniature video baby monitors are out now and the pricing of these new devices has dropped significantly, the size of the devices also makes it easier for mothers or fathers to fit them into their pockets. The introduction of wireless technology also makes devices such as baby monitors and miniature video recorders more practical, often you will find new baby monitors include at least two parts. The better models consist of a unit consisting of the monitor and storage device while the camera for the unit is separate and wireless so there is no need to run cabling around your home. The wireless functionality of these devices allow you to monitor more than your baby alone. The position of the camera for wireless miniature monitoring systems can easily be changed so when it is not being used to monitor a baby it can be set up to monitor anything from a car in a driveway to a front door. Hahn Baker has reviewed a variety of miniature security dvr systems and analyzed their features and capabilities.
