What is a DVR Server?

Who will be able to see my cameras?
Only you can view your CCTV footage. CCTV stands for closed-circuit television, meaning the signals are relayed privately, not publicly like standard television. Depending on the system, you may be able to view the camera footage virtually on your phone as well as on the central DVR.
