2. Product Overview
2.1 High Resolution and Expandability
The system features 5-megapixel cameras, providing clear and detailed images. The 10-inch integrated NVR supports up to 10 channels, allowing for expansion with additional cameras (sold separately) beyond the initial four included in this set. This ensures comprehensive coverage for larger areas.

2.2 AI Motion Detection and App Support
Equipped with advanced AI motion detection, the system optimizes recording content by focusing on human movement. When motion is detected, you will receive instant notifications via the mobile app (EseeCloud) or email. The system utilizes a stable 7DB antenna design for reliable Wi-Fi communication, allowing remote viewing and control from your smartphone, tablet, or PC anywhere.

2.3 24/7 Continuous Recording and H.265 Compression
The NVR includes a 1TB HDD, enabling 24/7 continuous recording. To maximize storage efficiency, the system employs H.265 video compression technology, which offers approximately twice the compression performance of traditional H.264. This allows for extended recording times without requiring additional storage infrastructure. When the storage is full, the system automatically overwrites the oldest data, ensuring continuous recording without manual intervention.

2.4 Two-Way Audio and Remote Access
Each camera is equipped with a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling two-way communication. This feature allows you to speak with visitors or deter intruders directly through the camera from your mobile device. Utilizing P2P technology, the system provides seamless remote monitoring and operation from anywhere with an internet connection.

2.5 IP66 Waterproof Rating
The cameras are rated IP66 waterproof, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. They are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C.
