The DVR's innovative design allows it to record and playback video at an impressive rate of up to 240 frames per second at 1080p resolution.

With the Pivot Central Management Software, you can view up to 128 channels from different sites and devices simultaneously. This advanced CMS system offers a simple drag and drop camera viewing tool for user-friendly operation.

Additionally, the DVR features PTZ and OSD Control via Coax (UTC). This allows a user to access the camera's On-Screen Display (OSD) through a coaxial connection, eliminating the need for an additional RS485 cable to reach the menu.

In summary, the VMAX A1 Universal HD 8 Channel 960H DVR with 8TB HDD is an innovative, high-tech solution for your security surveillance needs, offering high storage capacity and superior recording capabilities.
