Analog camera setup
The recorder can support up to 16 cameras depending on the model, which can be a
mix of analog and IP cameras. By default, all camera channels in the recorder are
analog. You need to disable analog cameras in order to add IP cameras. However, at
least half of the camera channels will always be analog.
You can quickly see an overview of all the analog cameras and their status in the
Analog Camera Overview screen (see Figure 19 below). The number of cameras
displayed depends on the recorder model. You can also select a camera to live view

When an analog camera is enabled or disabled, the system must reboot for the
changes to take effect.
