Frequently Asked Questions
What is a universal port DVR and how does it benefit my surveillance system?
A universal port DVR like the PD2B-16N accepts multiple camera technologies (TVI, AHD, CVI, Analog, IP) on the same device. This eliminates the need for separate recorders for different camera types, reducing costs and simplifying system management. You can upgrade cameras gradually without replacing your entire infrastructure.
Can I use 24 cameras with the InVid PD2B-16N?
Yes. The PD2B-16N provides 16 universal channels plus 8 bonus IP channels, supporting up to 24 total camera connections. This flexibility allows you to expand your surveillance coverage without purchasing additional hardware.
What storage capacity does the 12TB configuration provide?
The 12TB configuration includes hard drives totaling 12TB of storage across the two HDD bays. Actual recording duration depends on resolution, frame rate, and compression settings. Higher resolution (8MP) footage consumes more storage than lower resolutions.
Is the PD2B-16N compatible with existing analog cameras?
Absolutely. The 16 channel universal port design supports legacy analog cameras alongside modern TVI, AHD, CVI, and IP cameras. This backward compatibility protects your investment in existing equipment while allowing gradual technology upgrades.
