Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Recommended for small IP surveillance projects that need reliable recording for up to 9 cameras.
• The DNR-326 is suitable when the customer needs a compact 2-bay NVR with RAID support, remote access, smart search, and multi-brand camera compatibility.
• For modern high-camera-count projects, confirm storage and channel requirements first, because this model is limited to 9 IP cameras and 8TB maximum storage capacity.
