It drops into existing BNC-based CCTV systems, supports multiple camera formats, and gives you flexible hard drive options instead of forcing one storage configuration on every job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetail stores, restaurants, offices, small warehouses, and mixed-use commercial spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacing an older DVR without pulling new Ethernet cable to every camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallers who need one recorder that can handle mixed analog formats and IP cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks With the Cameras You Already Have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a true 5-in-1 hybrid DVR for HD-TVI, AHD, CVI, legacy CVBS analog cameras, and supported IP cameras.
