Notes on Camera Connection:
The DVR is specifically designed for High Definition 720p cameras (using AHD technology).
The DVR can also support connection to lower resolution analogue cameras.
The camera input channels on the DVR are grouped into pairs for the connection of either HD
cameras or Analogue cameras. Channels 1 & 2 can have either 2 HD cameras or 2 Analogue
cameras connected but not 1 of each, the same applies to channel pairs 3 & 4, 5 & 6 and
7 & 8.
