FEATURES
This DVR uses high-performance video processing chips and an embedded Linux operating 
system for quality image recording and ease of use. It utilizes numerous advanced 
technologies including the industry-standard H.264 compression to deliver high-quality, 
smooth videos and dual stream capability for remote viewing. A SATA hard-drive interface 
offers upgradability and two video ouputs allows for the choice of viewing on a VGA monitor or 
a standard TV. In addition, some models include an HDMI video port for HD viewing. 
Local control of the system utilizes a mouse and graphical user interface (GUI) as well as a
