I.0 Overview 

AR-6040/6080/6160 H.264 DVR is an integrated digital video recorder that combines the features of a time-
lapse audio/video recorder, a multiplexer, and a video server to create a single security solution. 
 

The outstanding quad-plex operation enables users to view live video, search, and playback any recorded 
video by date/time or event and remotely monitor the unit via internet; meanwhile, the DVR recording is 

running simultaneously. 
 
AR-6040/6080/6160 H.264 DVR provides the latest H.264 compression mode and a user friendly Graphical 

User Interface (GUI) that optimizes function control. AR-6040/6080/6160 H.264 DVR also supports Full HD 
1080p output. 
 

AR-6040/6080/6160 H.264 DVR is pre-installed with remote viewing and configuration software which is a 
Web-browser plug-in allowing users to view live or recorded video images and enables remote configuration. 

The remote software is stored in AR-6040/6080/6160 H.264 DVR and deployed over a LAN, WAN, or 
Internet connection to remote Windows-based computers. This feature simplifies the installation and 
maintenance of the software components so all remote users are using the same software coming from the 

unit.
