E1 models support 1 SATA HDD bay and are available in 4 and 8-channel configurations. E2 models support 2 SATA HDD bays providing more storage capacity and are available in the 16-channel configuration.
These DVRs use standard H.264 video compression with dual-stream encoding — a main stream for local HDD recording and a sub-stream for remote viewing — balancing storage efficiency and remote access quality.
The DVR supports WD1 recording at up to 6fps and CIF at 25fps per channel, providing flexibility to balance image quality and frame rate based on storage requirements.
Yes. Remote live view and playback are supported via HIKVISION iVMS-4200 software and mobile apps over TCP/IP, enabling monitoring from any location.
Each SATA bay supports up to 4TB per drive, giving the E1 models up to 4TB total storage and the E2 models up to 8TB — sufficient for continuous multi-week recording at standard resolutions.
