The Lorex Edge + 8-CH 500GB Pentaplex Network DVR is a compact and slim DVR that can be mounted on a wall or attached directly to the back of an LCD monitor via its VESA mounting holes. This will save you space on the desktop while keeping the monitoring area neat. In addition to remote Internet access, this DVR lets you connect using your iPhone, Blackberry, or other 3G smart phone device. This way you can keep an eye on what's happening at your home or business anytime and from anywhere. Thanks to DDNS support, setting up a remote connection is quick and easy.
This DVR uses H.264 compression technology to capture great looking images while preserving storage and network resources. On account of its built-in pentaplexer, this DVR allows simultaneous viewing, recording, playback, backup and remote control. This DVR ships with a 500GB SATA HDD, which can be expanded to 2TB. Video can be easily exported to an optional flash memory device connected to the DVR's USB port for backup or transfer purposes.
Video is recorded at speeds up to 240 FPS (at 320 x 240 NTSC) for the combined channels, resulting in smooth video playback for each camera input. A DVI monitor port lets you output high quality video at up to 1280 x 1024 resolution. HDMI output is also supported via an optional DVI to HDMI converter cable.
All DVR functions can be conveniently accessed from a distance using the supplied IR remote controller. IR "Flex" technology will let you navigate system controls without having to point the remote control directly at the DVR. For added flexibility, you can also operate the DVR using the supplied mouse or via the DVR's front panel controls.
