Typically, Analog Cameras are connected to via Analog Recorders. Each Recorder has a number of channels that indicates the number of Analog Cameras it can handle. If Recorder is plugged into the network, it can either be discovered automatically or added manually (see "Adding Cameras and Encoders"). Encoder with discovered channels looks as the following:

The following types of Analog Cameras are supported:

•Analog Cameras plugged into Encoder. Those cameras act like regular Cameras: it is possible to configure Recording Schedule for them as well as Motion Detection.

•Analog Cameras plugged into Recorder. Those cameras are recorded somewhere else so Nx Witness only pulls the desired stream from the recorder. It is not possible to configure Recording Scheduleand Motion Detection for those Cameras.
