Single cable camera connection Siamese BNC cabling is used to connect MPX security cameras*. This BNC cable provides both video and power transmission up to 300ft for an easy-to-install process that will have your surveillance system up and running in no time. If needed, MPX cameras can be installed further than 300ft away, but the camera will need to be plugged in directly to an electrical outlet. *When using 4K security cameras, this DVR should only be used with the supplied cable and power adapter that comes with the 4K camera, or an extension cable meeting the specifications listed in the Quick Setup Guide / Installation Guide. The use of any other power adapter or cabling will adversely affect performance.
See the details, hear the soundsNo extra connections are required for security cameras with microphones*. Audio is transmitted over the same coaxial BNC cable that connects the camera to the DVR. This means that you are free to add one of our MPX audio cameras to enhance your security monitoring to a whole new level. *Requires security cameras with listen-in audio functionality.

It is also possible to manually upgrade the hard drive within the DVR to a hard drive up to 8TB in size. Visit our Hard Drive Calculator to estimate your desired specifications.
Different recording modesThis DVR has three different recording options to suit your needs. You can record footage continuously, during scheduled times, or when movement is detected. These options can be customized with each of your security cameras, which means you can have your most important camera recording all of the time while lower activity cameras can be programmed only to record on motion. To be safe, this DVR includes a pre-recording function that goes along with the motion recording option. This feature will go back to record the five seconds before the motion is detected, so you never have to worry about missing those first vital moments.
Automatic overwrite You don't have to worry about storage management with this DVR. It is designed to automatically overwrite the oldest data with the newest data when the hard drive becomes full. This means that you will never run out of storage space. Just make sure to save any important footage before it gets overwritten.
Automatic recovery after power failure An auto-recovery feature will automatically reboot your DVR once it regains power. This means that you don't have to do a thing - your system will simply start recording again within minutes. A Watch Dog function is also built-in to this DVR that continuously monitors the system for potential system errors. If it detects a critical error, Watch Dog will automatically reboot the system, which helps ensure system stability, keeps your cameras recording, and prevents future system failures.
