DVR市场并没有像抛物线一样发展，而是进入了一个平台期。经过了十年的发展，DVR的销量虽然没有很快下降，但是增长的速度比前几年大幅减缓，利润率和利润空间都在下降，DVR业务占企业的营业份额在下降。真正谈DVR的人不是特别多，业内对DVR都不是很感冒了，很难推出一个革命性的产品。
DVR过去发展的十年中，是三年一个大转。2000年-2002年，PC式DVR和嵌入式DVR争夺天下;2003年，从MPEG的压缩算法过渡到MPEG-4、H.264;2006年左右，从本地录像作为网络上的一个核心设备;2009-2010年开始做混合型、高清、智能型的DVR。
无论如何转变，监控需要录像，因此录像产品始终都会存在，DVR可能会变成其它模式，但整个系统始终需要一个本地存储的设备。将来是以什么样的硬件和软件载体来存，是随着技术的发展而定的，而且受制于IT的发展。例如硬盘出现新的存储方式，会促使存储设备的改变。
DVR还有一段红火的日子，只要传统模拟监控在大规模的应用，好日子就不会结束。
The DVR market has not developed like a parabola, but has entered a platform phase. After a decade of development, sales of DVR didn't decrease rapidly, but growth speed is much slower than in previous years, profit margins are falling and profit margins, DVR business accounts for the enterprise business share is dropping. Not many people actually talk about DVR. The industry is not very interested in DVR and it is hard to launch a revolutionary product.
The last decade of DVR's development has been a three-year turnaround. From 2000 to 2002, PC DVR and embedded DVR competed for the world. In 2003, from MPEG compression algorithm to mpeg-4, h.264; Around 2006, local video was used as a core device on the network. From 2009 to 2010, we began to build hybrid, hd and intelligent DVRS.
In any case, monitoring requires video, so the video product will always be there, the DVR may become something else, but the system will always need a device that is stored locally. What kind of hardware and software carriers will be used in the future depends on the development of technology and is subject to the development of IT. For example, the emergence of a new storage mode on the hard disk will lead to changes in storage devices.
DVR is still in its heyday, and as long as traditional analog surveillance is used on a large scale, the good times will not end.
