Congratulations on your purchase of the DNR-202L mydlink Camera Video Recorder. The DNR-202L is a wired Network Video Recorder (NVR) which supports up to four network cameras with M-JPEG, MPEG4, or H.264 recording with up to two attached USB hard disks. Thanks to the powerful embedded system, the NVR can record video from network cameras located in local or remote sites to dedicated disk storage without needing a PC.
2. Flexible Event Management: Event setup is another key feature of the DNR-202L. The NVR can monitor all of the camera triggers for motion detection. One of the most powerful functions is the notification application. The NVR centrally controls the e-mail notifications and recording from all connected cameras.
