A surveillance digital video recorder (DVR) is an electronic device designed to capture and encode video signals from connected cameras in real-time. It processes incoming video streams, converting them into a digital format while offering features such as motion detection, video compression, and remote monitoring capabilities.
The main types of surveillance digital video recorders include standalone DVRs and PC-based DVRs. A standalone DVR is a self-contained unit that records video from security cameras. It supports various channel configurations, including 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 channels, and offers multiple storage options such as hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and network-attached storage (NAS). These devices utilize technologies including analog, digital, and hybrid systems, and are applied across sectors like business security, home security, traffic monitoring, retail loss prevention, public safety, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and more.

The surveillance digital video recorder market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.90 billion in 2024 to $7.38 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for serverless systems, increased adoption of IoT-connected surveillance solutions, growing security budgets within the corporate sector, a surge in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) investing in surveillance technologies, and the expansion of commercial infrastructure development.
The surveillance digital video recorder market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of the retail and banking sectors, growth in the transport and logistics industries, the advancement of smart city projects, government incentives aimed at strengthening infrastructure security, and a rising focus on residential security. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of AI-powered video analytics, integration of edge computing in surveillance devices, advancements in high-resolution camera technologies, the development of hybrid DVR/NVR systems, and the incorporation of enhanced cybersecurity features in DVR systems.
The growing concerns over public safety are expected to drive the expansion of the surveillance digital video recorder (DVR) market in the coming years. Public safety involves safeguarding individuals from crime, disasters, and threats to health and well-being. A significant factor behind the heightened concern is the rising incidence of violence, which poses risks to individuals and underscores the urgent need for stronger protective measures and community support systems. Surveillance digital video recorders play a crucial role in enhancing public safety by consistently capturing and storing real-time footage of public areas. These devices aid in crime deterrence, evidence gathering, and rapid response to security incidents. For instance, in March 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that between 2021 and 2022, 31% of women and 42% of men experienced physical violence. As a result, increasing public safety concerns are fueling the growth of the surveillance DVR market.
Leading companies in the surveillance DVR market are innovating with advanced technologies such as serverless camera systems, which enhance security through cloud-based backups and encryption. Serverless camera systems eliminate the need for traditional on-site servers by utilizing cloud infrastructure to manage, store, and access video footage. For example, in June 2023, Hanwha Vision, a South Korea-based video surveillance firm, introduced SolidEDGE a serverless camera system equipped with an integrated WAVE Video Management System (VMS) server and onboard solid-state drive (SSD) storage. This flexible and cost-effective solution supports multi-camera recording, remote monitoring, and localized security management. Notably, the SolidEDGE camera offers two storage options 1TB (PNV-A6081R-E1T) and 2TB (PNV-A6081R-E2T and each unit can connect up to five additional cameras, supporting a total of six video streams per system, all with minimal setup complexity.
