DVR BLOW BL-X16081 is a 5-in-1 hybrid video recorder designed for mixed CCTV installations. It supports up to 16 analog channels and 16 IP channels, enabling simultaneous management of legacy analog cameras and modern IP cameras.

Support for 8 MP resolution ensures compatibility with high-definition IP cameras while analog channels maintain existing infrastructure. The single internal HDD bay provides local retention without requiring immediate NAS or cloud services. Onboard recording modes include continuous and motion-triggered capture, and network access enables remote monitoring and playback for quick incident review.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term recording, choose a surveillance-grade SATA HDD sized according to retention needs and camera resolution.
