Resolution
1280x720

The maximum performance of the NVRX Series is 720p@400fps
Therefore 25fps per channel is recommended (25fps x 16=400fps)

The maximum throughput of the NVRX Series is 40Mbps
Therefore 2Mbps per channel is recommended (2 x 16=32Mbps)

•The NVRX Series features a "Plug and Play" function with a POE Switch.
•The “Plug and Play” functionality requires the IP Camera to be in DHCP mode.
•The NVRX automatically assigns an IP Address to the IP Camera (10.20.30.11 ~
10.20.30.254).
•The NVRX models automatically map the camera on the POE Port to the corresponding
NVR channel number.
With the NVRX Models, DO NOT connect a router to the POE Ports to connect an IP
Camera. The NVRX will not be able to find and connect to the camera. The LAN Port
can be connected to a router, but not the POE Ports.
