The Fracarro DVR-SMART 4 is a 4-channel standalone digital video recorder designed for small to medium CCTV installations. H.264 compression delivers long recording times at a maximum resolution of Full-D1 (720 × 576), with quality adjustable across 9 levels per camera. The unit operates as a true Exaplex: recording, live view, playback, control, backup, and internet access run simultaneously.

Remote access is available via mobile phone, PDA, or smartphone without installing any software. A USB 2.0 port allows backup to USB sticks, external hard drives, and external DVD-RW drives. The optional CMS software enables centralised management of up to 10 DVR units through graphical maps, while two relay outputs support basic home-automation control from a distance. The unit ships with a remote control and optical mouse and operates in complete silence — no fan.
