Analog / HD Surveillance DVR - CCTV Hybrid
The latest iDVR-E are SD / HD CCTV hybrid. This means that both traditional analog CCTV cameras and AHD high definition CCTV cameras can be used.
Here is how it works.
- Originally, CCTV cameras supported D1 resolution which is 704 x 480 pixels.
- Then, 960H CCTV cameras were introduced which support 960 x 480 resolution (a wider format CCTV).
- In 2014, AHD cameras (analog high definition), also known as HD CCTV, was introduced which supports 720p resolution (1280 x 720).
- In 2015, full HD 1080p AHD cameras will be available.
- All of these CCTV video formats work using the same RG59 coax cable to run video from the camera to the DVR. However, the video encoding is different between traditional CCTV (D1 and 960H, also known as standard definition - SD) and AHD.
- This iDVR-E works with both traditional CCTV and AHD cameras. Users can also mix CCTV and AHD cameras on the same recorder (hybrid).
- Important! If both camera types will be used, they need to be grouped in pairs of 2 by type.
- For example, you can have 2 SD cameras on channels 1 and 2, and 2 AHD cameras on channels 3 and 4.
- You can also install SD cameras on all channels or HD cameras on all channels, but again, when you mix technologies, it must be done in groups of two.

Most cable and DSL Internet connections use a dynamic IP address. This can present a challenge for remotely accessing your DVR to check on your cameras. All iDVRs have built in dynamic DNS support. This means that your iDVR will be assigned a domain / host name such as myidvr.hostname.com for you to use when you configure remote access using any of the client apps. When setup, if your ISP changes the IP address of the Internet connection where your DVR is located, the configuration for your apps do not need to change. This is because the assigned hostname will always be updated to point to the correct IP address of your Internet modem.
DDNS setup is simple on iDVR surveillance DVRs and if you need help, CCTV Camera Pros gives lifetime free technical support on all products that we supply.
