What are software digital video recorders?
Video compression can be either software or hardware based. Logically, software digital video recorders compress the video using software.
This means that the PC's processor must do all the work to compress the image files.Hardware compression means that the DVR digitizer boards implement the compression. Therefore the CPU will not have to do much work compared with software digital video recorders.
This translates into much less stress on the PC which should provide more reliable operation. The downside is that hardware compression technology is still quite a bit more expensive than software digital video recorders.
But wait a while...the price of all digital video technology just keeps on dropping!
