Q: Can an CSVR continue to record without an internet connection?
A: Yes. As long as the local IP addresses of the Stream Video Recorder and any connected cameras do not change. The CSVR continues to record video and retains all of its local functionality during an internet outage. If the local network is disrupted while there is no internet connection, the CSVR's ability to record may be affected.
Q: Can the CSVR126 hard drives be replaced?

Q: Can the CSVR126 support 4 Megapixel recording?
