DVR software is used in conjunction with a DVR card and provides functions such as the conversion of video images to files, video compression, controlling the movement of the camera, display and playback and so on. In a stand alone DVR, the integrated circuits have the DVR software embedded within. The hardware and software in this case is configured to ensure the performance of the DVR card.

DVR software is easily upgradeable and easy to use. Newer versions of DVR software can be installed by automatic download when a DVR card is recognised by a computer. However, conflicts may arise when newer versions of software are installed and upgrading the existing program may not necessarily translate to improved performance.

The evolution of DVR software is ongoing and every day improves to meet the increasing demands of users. With DVR use expanding into many sectors beyond home entertainment and security systems, DVR software is also in demand.

DVR software usually also includes CDR software functions, including the ability to read and modify CDs. To ensure your DVR software includes CDR functionality, you should research all the DVR software products first before making a purchase.
