I am debating whether to purchase a DVR or a Timelapse VCR for my CCTV system. Obviously price wise the VCR is a best option, but what is the real pros and cons of each?

as Big Nige says DVR all the way VCR is old tech and it shows DVR units have came down in price a lot the last year or two Think about it, you need MUX and VCR when you do the costings now it isn't as cheap an option What sort of system have you?Don't scrimp on Cameras either as quality in gets quality out. If you'd like a price e-mail me direct

There are plenty of budget DVR options on the market. Make sure you go for the best recording resolution you can afford as some of the very cheap ones have a low quality recording to save on HDD space. I would also advise at least 8 channel DVR to allow for future expansion.

When you talk of best resolution its the Frame per second you are referring to, is it?

No, the FPS is the speed the DVR records. The resolution should be given in pixels.
