Our NVR will record up to 16 individual IP based cameras up to 2 Megapixel (1080P) resolutions simultaneously. Our NVR oers you a variety of recording resolutions,
adjustable frame rates, interchangeable on all of our channels.
Our 16 channel Elite Mini NVR starts o with an innovative system designed specically for high quality IP network camera capturing and the ability to easily handle the work
load. We accomplish this by using a state-of-the-art dual core microprocessor that utilizes an embedded Linux operating system. We've found that as far as our video
recorders are concerned, the Linux OS is rock-solid. We also added an embedded digital signal processor (DSP), a dual logarithm CODEC (H.264 and MPEG-4) for recording
eciency and a built in web server. To make things convenient for you, we have also implemented an IP Search feature in the OSD to automatically discover your cameras on
the network.
Were condent you’ll be amazed with the quality and performance of our 16CH NVR’s. In fact we are so condent that you'll be satised with this Mini NVR that we back it
with 100% free lifetime technical support with a full 3 year warranty. Contact our support department with your issues or questions and we will be glad to oer our assistance
to help you resolve them. In most instances we may even be able to remotely set up your unit and/or solve your problem.
