Chapter 1 Introduction
AVerMedia AVerDVR is a 32-bit PCI video capture card that works as a digital video surveillance
system. It enables you to capture true color images and real-time videos from 4 up to 16 camera
inputs simultaneously.
With the latest Motion Detection technology, you no longer need to monitor every single moment of the
day; the system automatically records and triggers an alarm when any movement is detected.
