This spec sheet suits jobs where an existing analog run needs extending with IP cameras rather than a full rip-and-replace — the Penta-brid inputs read HDCVI, AHD, TVI and CVBS without a converter. Confirm total simultaneous channel loading against the installation's camera mix before quoting, as the 24 IP-camera hybrid figure is the platform ceiling rather than a fixed add-on to the 16 analog inputs.
For remote access and management, the unit works with Dahua's mobile apps and ONVIF-compatible software — useful where a site already runs mixed-vendor VMS.
