Computer security cameras are the new standard of security and surveillance. The original security cameras were analogue, but are gradually being phased out in favor of computer security cameras.

Computer security cameras transmit their image to a DVR hard drive with a recorder. The image is a 5:1 compressed signal, although higher compression can produce DVD quality.

Unfortunately, the output among computer security cameras varies greatly. Some computer security camera files require a separate media player to access, while other may only require a codec. Fortunately, some computer security cameras enclose their files in an executable player for end users' convenience.

Disk space is another issue. The files produced by computer security cameras fill up hard drive space quickly at the 5:1 compression rate, and faster at higher compression. However, these problems can be alleviated. One of the most common ways is to use motion detectors to either decompress the video feed of computer security cameras or stop it altogether.

Computer security cameras, however, offer easier searching of their video feed. Viewing certain times and events is significantly easier than rewinding and fast forwarding through videotape. Computer security cameras can also be connected to personal computers with nothing more than a USB port.
