Recording
The DIVAR is very easy to use. Simply connect the cameras, apply power and let the unit record automatically with no further intervention required. The H.264 compression function significantly reduces file size of recordings without sacrificing image quality. The DIVAR can record at up to 25 (PAL) / 30 (NTSC) images per second, per channel at 960H resolution.
