Chapter 1 Introduction
AVerDiGi EB1504 MPEG4/MPEG4+ is a 4-channel stand-alone DVR unit that
provides real-time monitoring and digital recording of surveillance video. Up to four
video cameras and four sensor devices can be hooked up to this DVR unit. It also
provides one audio input and output channel.
Surveillance, digital recording and playback are controlled through the front panel
buttons. With the On-Screen-Display (OSD) menu, user can customize video
recording setting, sensor and alarm settings, password protection, hard drive
recycling, and more. Through USB connection, user can playback the video with
