| | Storage capacity on a digital system is mostly dependant on the product’s ability to compress its recorded information and store to hard disk; Digital Express uses a superior technology that offers phenomenal compression, resulting in smaller storage requirements and lower costs for the customer, yet without detriment to the quality of the captured data. | | | The Digital Express range of DVR’s stores all information to hard disk allowing unattended recording and better use of those personnel. | | | Continuous recording can provide hours of unwanted information and use up valuable data storage space. |
