  • Page 27: Understanding Camera Capacity In An Nvr

    Understanding camera capacity in an NVR When setting up your NVR and cameras, you may notice that some of the camera images may not display in Live View. This most often occurs when you are displaying images in 1+5 mode, or 1+7 mode because the total bit rate for all cameras is exceeding the NVR’s capacity.
  • Page 28: Adjusting Settings

    Each channel can support a different camera, as long as they do not exceed the total bit rate limit. It is entirely possible to mix 5 MP cameras with 4CIF IP cameras, etc. Generally, 5 MP at 30 fps requires around 20 Mbps for best quality.
