One of the many problems with analog tapes is the limited searching capabilities they provide. Searching for a certain event or time period in an analog tape is both tedious and inefficient. Now, with the introduction of DVR, it has become easier, among other things, to find the images you want: simply enter the time and date into the computer and data is retrieved in seconds.
Each connected camera can be manipulated through the DiViS main program as long as each camera supports such capabilities. Auto Rebooting System When DiViS detects an error or malfunction within the system, it will automatically reboot the system in order to correct it. Motion Detection and Sensor Trigger Detection features make it possible to record images only when movement is detected, preserving volume space and maximizing the use of physical storage space.

Data from external devices (POS, Access Control, ATM, etc) can be recorded with DVR video images. Text Search allows to search data from external devices with DVR video image when event occurs. This will raise the level of integrity and security.
