DVR 960H represents the number of effective pixels in the horizontal direction of the CCD image sensor. This is a drastic improvement over the previous industry standard of 760 horizontal lines giving 960H a 30% increase in the number of effective pixels. 

 

There are a variety of 960H cameras in the market although; there are very few digital video recorders that can record and playback video under the same resolution. The previous industry standard was capable of only capturing 540 TVL (TV lines) where the 960H DVR’s will capture the full 700 TVL.
