There are various Divar models; 6-channel, 9-channel and 16-channel, each with 
various storage capacities. In addition, a Divar can have an internal DVD writer.

without the need for a PC. The writer supports DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R and 
CD-RW media.

internal DVD writer are indicated by a double (**) asterix.
