Notes #8 Performance figures are obtained from testing conducted with the device fully populated with drives, with their default memory configuration, and under a continuous recording setup. Actual system capabilities may vary based on configuration, drive performance, enabled features, and the presence of additional workloads.Use NVR Selector to quickly find a suitable model based on your requirements.The number of video channels that can be viewed simultaneously is double the maximum number of cameras for the same codec and resolution.The values above are based on testing with RTSP streaming. If SRTP is enabled for all cameras, overall performance will decrease to 70% of the stated figures.
