HDCVI 3.0 pentabrid recorders are compatible with all five of the primary video technologies offered in video surveillance: standard analog, AHD, IP, HDCVI, and HDTVI. Because it is backwards compatible, HDCVI 3.0 enables use of existing standard definition analog cameras while also receiving input from IP cameras. To that end, HDCVI 3.0 stands out for its ability to integrate several technologies within one system.
