Product Overview
The AR515-32 Lite DVR is a high-performance 32-channel Tribrid DVR designed for flexible hybrid video surveillance. It supports multiple analog formats (HDTVI/AHD/HDCVI/CVBS) and up to 6 MP IP cameras. The system uses H.265+/H.265/H.264+ encoding to reduce storage requirements while maintaining clear video, including real-time 1080p lite or 4MP lite. Dual HDMI/VGA outputs with an independent 4K HDMI2 provide versatile display options, while POS-triggered recording and overlay enhance retail monitoring capabilities. Four hot-swappable SATA HDDs and an additional eSATA interface provide secure, scalable storage. Advanced VCA analytics, line crossing and intrusion detection, smart search, PTZ control, and cloud storage compatibility make it ideal for professional security deployments.
