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 supports multiple camera types and connection standards on a single device. Unlike traditional DVRs limited to analog cameras, this universal port model accepts both analog and IP cameras, providing greater flexibility and future-proofing for surveillance systems.
