There is a lot of misconception with the term DVR in the video surveillance industry. Although the term DVR is very general and can accurately refer to any device that records video digitally, many end users and integrators associate the term DVR with older embedded digital video recorders. This connotation creates issues for manufacturers that use the term DVR to describe server-based recorders. It is clear that the term video management server provides an unmistakable description for these architectures. Whether technically accurate or not, the fact is that the term DVR has a stigma that seems to refer to older, embedded technology.

Video Management Servers
Video management servers, also known as VMSs, refer to digital video recorders (DVRs) that are PC-based rather than older DVRs that use an embedded architecture. PC-based or server-based video recorders feature a software interface for users to manage live and recorded video, among other analytic features. The software is defined as a video management interface. When you combine the server-based hardware architecture with the graphical user interface to manage the video feeds from the surveillance system, you derive a video management system. The video management servers form the backbone of the system and consist of the physical video recording network appliances that are responsible for both analog and IP surveillance video cameras.
