Frequently Asked Questions
What is a universal port recorder and how does it differ from standard DVRs?
A universal port recorder like the PD1B-16NH offers flexible connectivity options that work with both analog and IP cameras, eliminating the need for separate systems. Unlike traditional DVRs limited to analog inputs, this hybrid approach supports mixed camera types on a single platform, reducing complexity and cost.
Can I mix analog and IP cameras on the PD1B-16NH 16 channel recorder?
Yes. The PD1B-16NH is specifically designed as a hybrid DVR that seamlessly integrates 16 analog channels with 8 bonus IP channels, allowing you to deploy up to 24 cameras in any combination. This flexibility makes it perfect for upgrading existing analog systems without replacing all cameras simultaneously.
What does Audio over Coax (AoC) mean for my surveillance setup?
Audio over Coax technology transmits audio signals through the same coaxial cable as video, eliminating the need for separate audio wiring. This simplifies installation, reduces cabling costs, and provides flexible audio surveillance options for your security system.
How much storage does the PD1B-16NH provide with dual hard drive bays?
The PD1B-16NH includes dual hard drive bays supporting the 24TB configuration (PD1B-16NH/24TB). This provides substantial storage for continuous 24/7 recording across all 24 camera channels, with options for additional drives or RAID configurations for enhanced redundancy and reliability.
