Specification and Installation Notes

The supplied overview mentions sixteen cameras, while the detailed specifications state eight IP inputs. This listing uses the detailed eight-channel specification. Eight inputs and eight-channel synchronous playback do not imply simultaneous decoding of eight 8 MP streams. Two SATA interfaces indicate HDD support, not included drives. The power-consumption wording does not confirm built-in PoE ports. Confirm camera compatibility, VCA feature support, HDD inclusion, camera power arrangements, and supplied accessories before purchase.
