FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Your NVR (Network Video Recorder) contains professional-grade features and flexibility that
allows the do-it-yourselfer to easily setup and maintain a reliable and secure security system
for home and office.
It utilizes a dual-core CPU running an embedded Linux operating system to maintain stable
operation and a popular H.264 compression algorithm to produce high-quality, low bitstream
footage that is easy to manage and efficient to transfer over the internet. It can use various
functions such as record, playback, and monitoring at the same time and produces audio and
video synchronization. This product has advanced network technology and data transmission
functions allowing you to control and monitor your system remotely.
This product offers the following features:
Smartphone Compatible
Access live footage directly from your iPhone, iPad, Android phone and tablet or other
supported mobile device. Your NVR can also be set to e-mail your hand held-device
whenever specific activity occurs, such as motion detection.
Dual Video Streams
The NVR will record high definition video directly to its internal hard drive, while streaming a
more compact, lower resolution or frame rate video feed over the network or Internet for real-
time viewing on a computer or mobile device.
Built-in Power Over Ethernet (POE) Blocks
The POE Block allows you to power and view a number of cameras directly connected to the
NVR without the need for additional power supplies or wiring. Connecting through the POE
allows instantaneous video feed from your cameras.
View Your Video Feed Online with No Additional Service Fees
View your NVR’s live or recorded video footage on any Internet accessible computer with

monitoring. Notification alerts can easily be adjusted to your specifications.
