embedded Linux operating system.
Use of a monitor and mouse (included) provide local access to Veo17's menus. Choose

H.264 video compression improves remote viewing performance of a single or multiple

local PC or any removable storage media.

as well as legacy analog cameras. Video recording for HD-TVI cameras at 1080P resolu-
tion is capped at 12fps, while 720P resolution supports real-time recording of 30fps.
A built-in alarm indicator will auto-detect and monitor the condition for the hard drives,
network, and other alerts for added peace of mind. The unit comes with two SATA inter-
faces and supports for the total of 12TB of storage or 6TB of redundant (Mirror) recording.
