What are IP Expansion Modules?
Brigade Expansion Modules use Power Over Network (PON) Switch technology to expand the channel capability of the MDR by transmitting digital video images from IP cameras over the top of existing analogue video cables/signals. The MDR on-screen display allows easy camera set up without need for specific IP camera knowledge
Benefit: Connecting IP cameras increases the number of channels available on the MDR:
- MDR-504 - 4 x Analogue channels plus 1 x IP channel = 5 channels
- MDR-504 and a PON switch - 4 x Analogue channels plus 2 x IP channel = 6 channels
- MDR-508 - 8 x Analogue channels plus 1 x IP channel = 9 channels
- MDR-508 and a PON switch - 8 x Analogue channels plus up to 8 x IP channel = 16 channels
