# Tutorial for a CCTV DVR System
It has become increasingly common for people to have security cameras installed in their own home as an extra security measure. These are normally monitored through the TV or computer screen, but it also possible to record the images collected by the cameras for future reference. Hooking up a recordable DVD player to your CCTV system is very easy, and allows you to go over security footage if there has been a theft or act of vandalism at your house or place of business.
