Designed for a variety of different security scenarios, this is Speco’s fifth S-Series DVR. It boasts hybrid IP and analog capabilities in one DVR. Another perk is that it packs in networking applications and mobile support, meaning that it can be accessed and controlled from almost any location.

Available with options for 24 and 32 channels and hard drive storage ranging from 500GB to 6TB, this H.264 DVR has Digital Deterrent and CIF real-time recording that coordinates with Date/Time, Calendar, Event, Motion/Museum and Text-in search.
