1.Introduction
C31A is an I/O converter to intermediate the communication between a surveillance server and multiple
peripherals. It joins up all the major components in your surveillance network to deliver your prospective
management and protection over your property.
This manual combs the hardware/software setup for C31A. Hardware-wise C31A needs box (C24/C26/C28),
and software-wise the server relies on a piece of surveillance recording product,
Mainconsole/NVRmini2/NVRsolo/Titan NVR, to bring all the peripherals under control.
Easy-to-mount and flexible in communication, C31A will be the pivot in your surveillance network. Thank you
