8516 Hybrid NVR with RAID Installation Guide

Feature Overview
Video Inputs
There are 16 analog video inputs on the back of the unit. The IP cameras can connect to the
recorder through a camera network on the camera Ethernet port (see “Ethernet Ports, USB Ports,
Video and HD Monitor Output” on page 21). IP cameras are connected using a CAT5e cable or a
cable of higher performance, such as CAT6 cable.
The number of IP cameras the unit supports depends on the number of analog cameras you are
using.
The unit has 16 hybrid channels which can be used to include any combination of 0-16 analog
cameras and 0-16 IP cameras, as long as the total number of cameras is 16. The 8516 does not
support any
IP-only camera channels.
For example, if no analog cameras are in use, the 8516 model supports up to 16 IP video cameras. If
no IP cameras are in use, it supports up to 16 analog cameras. You can combine IP and analog
cameras (for example, 8 IP cameras and 8 analog cameras) as long as they add up to a total of 16
cameras.
Video Inputs on BNC Coaxial Connector
The analog video inputs are BNC coaxial connectors that support NTSC (North American) and PAL
inputs.
Video Termination
Video termination for the 8516 is controlled through the Visual Intelligence software. You can use
the March Networks Administrator Console application to view and modify the analog video
termination.

Administrator Console User Manual
