• A network connection to your router for remote viewing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix old analogue and new HD cameras?

Yes — each channel detects the camera type automatically, so you can upgrade cameras one at a time.

What does "1080p Lite" mean?

Full HD resolution at a reduced frame rate to keep the recorder affordable. Ideal for security recording where smooth motion isn’t essential.
