Nx Witness User Manual

Typically, analog Cameras are connected via analog recorders. Each recorder has a number of channels that indicates the number of analog Cameras it can handle. If a recorder is plugged into the network, it can either be discovered automatically or added manually.

The following types of analog Cameras are supported:

•Analog cameras plugged into an encoder – These cameras behave like any other camera in the System. It is possible to have a Recording Schedule and Motion Detection configured for Encoder analog cameras.

•Analog cameras plugged into a recorder (DVR) – These cameras are recorded somewhere else so Nx Witness only pulls the desired stream from the recorder. It is not possible to configure a recording schedule or motion detection for recorder analog cameras.
