Additional channels allow you to add more
cameras as your needs grow.
Alarm inputs connect your DVR to an alarm
system, saving you bandwidth by only record-
ing when your alarms are triggered.
Higher resolutions allow you to zoom into your
video and maintain significant detail.
More storage capacity allows you store more
video—higher resolution, or longer time peri-
ods—internally.
Add external storage for video archiving—a
convenient option if you need to store video for
long periods of time.
If you plan on recording the full resolution
your cameras/recorder are capable of, you may
need higher recording performance.*
The more people you have viewing the system
simultaneously, the higher the recording view-
ing output capacity should be.
