Frequently Asked Questions
What is a universal port recorder and why do I need one?
A universal port recorder like the PD1B-32N accepts multiple camera formats (TVI, AHD, CVI, Analog, IP) on the same device, eliminating the need for separate DVRs. This flexibility is essential for mixed-camera environments, system upgrades, and facilities transitioning between surveillance technologies without replacing existing infrastructure.
Can the InVid PD1B-32N handle both analog and IP cameras simultaneously?
Yes. The PD1B-32N supports 32 universal channels for analog/TVI/AHD/CVI cameras plus 8 dedicated IP channels, allowing you to mix camera types on a single recorder. This hybrid capability makes it ideal for phased upgrades and multi-format surveillance systems.
How much storage does the 4 hard drive bay system provide?
The PD1B-32N includes four hard drive bays with a standard 10TB configuration (PD1B-32N/10TB). You can expand storage by installing larger drives or adding additional external storage, providing scalable capacity for extended retention periods across all 40 camera channels.
Is the PD1B-32N suitable for large-scale surveillance deployments?
The 32 channel universal port recorder with 40 total camera capacity makes it well-suited for mid-to-large facilities including retail chains, office complexes, warehouses, and multi-building campuses. Its Lite form factor and four-bay storage system balance recording capacity with space efficiency.
