(1) (Digital Video Recorder) A device that records video from up to a dozen or more surveillance cameras onto a hard disk. The frame rate can be switched from real time to time lapse in order to save storage space. Digital recorders are more flexible than earlier analog VHS tape systems, and the video can be easily transmitted over a computer network. See CCTV.
The cameras offer night vision for clarity and can be connected to any DVR, VCR or TV to record the images of your baby sleeping.
The advantage to this is that you can find nearly everything you missed, if you forgot to set the DVR or VCR, or are in a circumstance where it's easier to watch TV on your computer rather than your television set.
In fact, the mobile app can also be used to control everything for your home TV and DVR as well.
Tape, TIVO, or DVR the program in case other holiday activities get in the way.
In a lot of ways the Apple TV can be compared to Tivo or a DVR box from a cable or satellite company.
