Chapter 1 Introduction
AVerMedia AVerDVR is a 32-bit PCI video capture card that works as a digital video
surveillance system. It enables you to capture true color images and real-time videos
from 4 up to 16 camera inputs simultaneously.
With the latest Motion Detection technology, you no longer need to monitor every
single moment of the day; the system automatically records and triggers an alarm
when any movement is detected.

2.2 NV3000/5000/6000/7000 Hardware Combinations
AVerMedia NV DVR provides powerful surveillance functions and flexible hardware
combinations. The table shows the numbers of camera inputs, audio inputs, sensor
inputs and relay outputs on different hardware combinations.
Before installing the cards, the computer must be turned OFF, the power
cable must be UNPLUGGED and all other cables that are attached at the
back of the computer must be DISCONNECTED.
When installing multiple cards, it is important to arrange the cards in
sequence so that the cables would not tangle up.
