How to choose a DVR?
When choosing a DVR, you should rely on the following parameters:
- Bit rate and resolution. Affect the clarity of the image. The higher the score, the better the photo will be.
- Viewing angle. It is worth choosing the middle ground here, since large and small angles negatively affect the clarity of the image.
