Who It's For

The EVERTECH 8 Channel DVR is best suited for small retail shops, offices, and homeowners who want a straightforward, expandable surveillance recorder with a large built-in hard drive. It appeals to users who may have a mix of newer HD and older analog cameras and need a single recorder that accepts all those signals.
