A digital CCTV exploit the same concept of an analogue cctv while it broadcast video as a digital stream over an IP network , like an analogue system video is stored on a Hard drive and than the DVR is replaced with an NVR ( Network video recorder ) which in some cases is just software since it doesn’t need to convert analog to digital since NVR stores digital images that has been already pre-compressed by an IP camera .
