Viewtron 4K Security Camera DVR [Video Demo]

Watch this video demo to see how easy our new Viewtron 4K security camera DVRs are to use.  Live display and recorded video surveillance playback is demonstrated in the video. I used my home security camera system to make this video. Currently, I have all 4K cameras installed at my house, except for the 4mp camera that monitors the side of my house.

Here is a list of the equipment that was installed at my house at the time I made this video and blog post.

Here are some screenshots that highlight some of the DVR’s primary features. Please note that these images are 4K resolution. If you click on them, you will see the full 4K ultra HD view.
