The CH-DVR4 is one of the latest, HD DVR (dashcam) system recording from 1 up to 4 cameras, with or without audio at resolutions up to 1080P (1920 x 1080).
These systems use either standard HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drives) for storage and can be supplied with or without the drives if you prefer to source your own. Using SSD provides a higher level of protection against heat and shock which can affect standard hard drives although at increased cost as only high endurance, business grade srives should be used but these can be a more future-proof model to consider. The systems include standard Wi-Fi and can be set as a stand-alone access point or can be configured as a client to access an existing Wi-Fi network. Access to video files and settings is by Wi-Fi or Ethernet using a browser so no external monitor is able to be used.
Set-up can be carried out using a tablet or smartphone connected via Wi-Fi although some devices may not display the video correctly due to file compatibility with certain browsers.
As these are full Digital HD, analogue cameras cannot be used and a standard range of internal and external cameras are available, all suitable for full HD with cabling to suit.
Options can include: GPS for speed and location; external button for Start/Stop control or alarm input.
1920*1080P resolution is the highest available and is suitable for display on larger screens but this then requires more data to store this so a consequence will be less recording time from the same storage device although these recorders can use up to 2TB storage for extended storage. 2TB would equate to about 10 weeks of recording @ 10 hours each day, 7 days a week which should be enough for most applications.
