With major technological improvements taking place in hardware compression
MPEG, MPEG-4, H.264 and the latest DSP chip processing ,many Chinese manufacturers have developed 16-channel standalone DVRs with real-time playback, CIF, NTSC and PAL, VGA, PTZ, and CD-RW and DVD-RW backup. These features give 16-channel standalone DVRs an edge over PC-based ones in terms of stability and flexibility.

H.264 compression, embedded Linux operating system and motion detection is compatible with PAL and NTSC systems. Video resolution is 4CIF, 2CIF, CIF and QCIF. Video recording resolution is D1, 2CIF, CIF and QCIF.
It supports four displays, privacy masking and camera lock.
The product works with eight SATA HDDs. Backup is via flash disk, USB HDD, USB CD-RW, DVD-RW, built-in SATA burner and network download.There are 16 channels of audio input and one for output. The network interface includes two RJ-45 ports that support TCP/IP, DHCP, DDNS, PPPoE, e-mail and ftp network functions. It also supports networking access for remote live viewing, recording, playback, setting, system status, event log and email.
To meet demand of high-definition images and long storage times, HighEasy has implemented an enhanced H.264 algorithm to update universal embedded hard-disk recorders. The company has also launched a professional embedded hard-disk recorder, its HY-90BYBYseries, for the financial vertical. It needs only half to two-thirds the HDD space when saving images of a similar definition. Alternatively, it provides better images but with the same storage size.
