L508321 Highlights:

Display Modes and Sequence Mode
Cameras can be displayed in 5 different Display Modes on a viewing display like a monitor (not included).
Single
Quad (4 Channel)
6 Channel
8 Channel
8 Channel (Grid)

Sequence Mode switches between Display Modes in any order you choose, and repeats the specified order until deactivated.  

Zoom
The DVR controls the zooming feature by enlarging the image for a closer look, so any camera connected to this DVR can be zoomed in.

Covert Camera Mode
Covert Camera Mode is designed to hide a camera from being viewed on the display device such as a monitor (not included), so no one can see what is being recorded.

Example: A camera is pointed directed at the safe, and you do not want unauthorized individuals being able to observe the combination being entered.

If there is an incident with the safe (missing money), the “admin user” will be able to observe the recorded data.

Search Mode and Playback
Search mode allows you to locate previously recorded video by Date and Time, and by Event (Motion Detection, Sensor Detection). Then you can play the recorded video using some common functions like a VCR, and DVD Player (Play, Rewind, Forward, Pause, etc). There is also a feature to play the recorded video in reverse at Normal speed.

Password Protected
The system is Password Protected to protect data from being tampered with.

Virtual Keyboard, Display Menu, and Mouse
The Virtual Keyboard control is designed for space saving, and only becomes available when keyboard input is needed for entering information such as Names, Network Information, and Passwords.
 
The Display Menus are designed to function similar to a typical window on a computer, as you are able to go through the Menu with a connected Mouse (not included).

Spot-Out (monitor not included)
Displays your choice of selected Cameras (up to 8 cameras) on a secondary monitor (via the Spot-Out Port on the rear of the DVR). Any cameras not selected will not be sent as video to the Spot-Out Monitor.

PTZ
You can connect any BNC camera (up to 8) to the BNC ports on the rear of the DVR. You can also connect PTZ Cameras to the built-in PTZ Control Block. PTZ camera can Pan, Tilt, and Zoom.

Audio
Audio enabled cameras (with a built-in microphone) need to be connected to channels 1~2 to be able to record the sound for those cameras.

Overwrite
Determines how data is maintained when the Hard Drive is full.

• ON - When Overwrite is set to ON, data will be overwritten when the Hard Drive is full, starting with the Oldest recording.
• OFF - When Overwrite is set to OFF, the data will not be overwritten when the Hard Disk is Full. Recording will Stop, and the Buzzer will be Activated.

Internet Remote Security Monitoring (software included)
You must have an active internet connection to the System to be able to perform Remote Viewing or Playback. Remote access is dependant on your connection speed, internet traffic and other network activities.
