Digital Video Recorder

A digital video recorder (DVR) is an electronic system that captures, encodes, stores, and retrieves video for later viewing, making continuous visual records possible without constant human observation. It converts camera signals into digital data and saves them on local storage, often using scheduled or motion-triggered recording to manage recording time and storage capacity. In environmental research, DVRs support wildlife monitoring, habitat surveys, equipment checks, and observation of remote or hazardous sites. These systems provide time-stamped evidence of environmental events, extend observation periods, and reduce the need for repeated field visits while supporting data-driven assessment and conservation planning.

Measuring the impacts of environmental contaminants on fish behavior is often subjective and challenging particularly when dealing with sublethal endpoints. We describe methods including video technology to quantify swimming behavior of early life stage white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) during and after 96 hr acute exposures to various concentrations of copper.

Web-based Clinician Guide to Record Compatible Video of Standardized Drinking Task Kinematics for Computer Vision Analysis

0 Views •

2025

Kinematic metrics of the drinking task have been recommended for use in upper limb stroke rehabilitation, but conventional approaches to kinematic studies are considered impractical. The current protocol describes a web-based guide to capture videos of the drinking task, which are compatible with computer vision to extract recommended kinematic metrics.
