DVR-Guard

Know the moment your DVR goes offline — and keep the footage that matters most.

DVR-Guard is the extra layer of protection around your DVR. It watches for outages, saves the minutes before they happen, and captures motion clips your DVR might otherwise miss.

What is DVR-Guard?

Think of DVR-Guard as a watchful companion for your CCTV system.

Outage detection

If the power cuts, the internet drops, or someone unplugs your DVR, you know immediately — not days later. Silent failures end the moment they start.

The 5-minute pre-outage buffer

In the moments before an outage, DVR-Guard automatically saves the footage to the cloud. The minutes that matter most — the ones right before your camera goes dark — are protected and waiting for you.

Motion clips

Even if your DVR is not set to record continuously, DVR-Guard captures short clips whenever there is motion. You get evidence of activity — day or night — without managing recording schedules.

Why this matters

Most DVRs fail silently. By the time you notice, the moment that mattered is gone — and so is the evidence.

Evidence that survives

Footage from before an outage is saved to the cloud — it survives the very event that took your DVR offline.

Know immediately, act in time

An alert the moment your DVR goes offline means you can call someone, check the site, and respond while it still matters.

Protection without schedules

Motion clips keep working even when continuous recording isn't set up — simple protection for any setup.
