Further details
![]() | This IP NVR recorder has 16 channels for connecting IP cameras Recording resolution up to 32Megapixel Up to 512Mbps bandwidth |
| Smart H.265+ Smart H.265+ is the optimized implementation of the H.265 codec that uses a scene-adaptive coding strategy, dynamic GOP, dynamic ROI, flexible multi-frame reference structure, and intelligent noise reduction to deliver high-quality video without straining the network. Smart H.265+ greatly reduces bit rate and storage requirements compared to standard H.265 compression
