Frequently Asked Questions
What is a universal port recorder and how does it differ from a standard DVR?
A universal port recorder like the PD2B-16N/6TB accepts multiple camera signal types (TVI, AHD, CVI, Analog, and IP) on the same device, eliminating the need for separate DVR and NVR systems. This hybrid approach simplifies installation, reduces equipment costs, and provides flexibility when integrating cameras from different manufacturers or upgrading existing surveillance infrastructure.
Can I mix different camera types on this 16-channel DVR?
Yes. The 16-channel universal port recorder is designed to accept TVI, AHD, CVI, Analog, and IP cameras simultaneously on its main ports, plus an additional 8 IP channels. This flexibility allows you to integrate legacy analog cameras alongside modern IP cameras without requiring multiple recorders.
How much recording time does 6 TB provide?
Recording duration depends on resolution, frame rate, and compression settings. At 8 MP resolution with standard compression, the 6 TB storage typically supports 30-60 days of continuous recording for a full 16-channel setup. The dual hard drive bay configuration also provides redundancy and easier maintenance.
Is remote access available for this universal port recorder?
Yes. The PD2B-16N/6TB supports remote monitoring and playback via network connection, enabling authorized users to view live feeds and recorded footage from mobile devices or computers from anywhere with internet access.
