3VR SmartRecorder, S-Series
The basic unit of system load is the Resource Unit (RU). Each 3VR SmartRecorder model has a different maximum RU capacity. For
the S-Series SmartRecorder, the following RU and Channel Capacity limits are enforced:

IP Cameras (MJPEG* or dual-stream**)
Up to 704x576
IP Cameras (MPEG4 or H.264 only)
Multiple streams from a camera should be treated as separate cameras, and require RUs that correspond with their resolution. For
example, 3 VGA virtual regions from the same 2MP camera are considered 3 separate IP cameras.
Cameras that contain multiple physical cameras (the Arecont™ 8180 or 8360, for example) should be treated as multiple cameras.
*
* *For MJPEG-only cameras, subject to maximum limit of 50 MP/s.
**Dual-stream cameras (most cameras are) can supply both MJPEG for motion detection
and analysis as well as a MPEG4 or H.264 stream for storage. This is preferred.
