The core components

The basic components of video security systems are a security camera, a display monitor, and a recorder. In a large system, of course, there can be a number of security cameras with multiplexers, time lapse VCRs and monitors. Today, however, much of this analog multiplexing and tape recording equipment has been replaced by digital video recorders (DVRs) or video management systems (VMS) using servers or camera SD card recording. A network PC can remotely manage the system. Several systems can be viewed on a smart phone.
