It supports continuous, scheduled, and dual-track recording with dynamic event actions - such as emails, buzzers, and PTZ presets - triggered by alarms, video loss, or advanced network analytics like line-crossing and face detection. Users can review footage across 18 simultaneous playback channels using calendar, smart search, or text-based POS searches, control PTZ cameras via RS-485 or integrated coaxial protocols with 300 presets, and manage two-way audio alongside 4 alarm inputs and a single relay output.
