Appendix A: Expanding Video Storage

You can increase the video storage capacity of the DVR5300 by adding one or more SEB5100 Series storage expansion boxes. Each SEB5100 adds up to 6.0 TB of total capacity. You can add up to eight SEB5100 Series units to expand the total capacity for each DVR5300 up to 54 TB of total capacity.

You can expand the DVR5300 two ways, depending on your future expansion requirements:

•Add a single SEB5100 to a single DVR5300 using a single cable.

•Add one or more SEB5100 units to a single DVR5300 using a Gigabit Ethernet switch.
