11. A MATRIX is a way of displaying the same camera on multiple monitors or taking the cameras from a single DVR and spreading them across multiple monitors. We do not have physical Matrix for standalone DVRS Virtual Matrix can be created using CMS software running on client PC configured with one or two monitors. Matrix cards are available for CY and NW pc based DVRs that will allow connection to up to four BNC/Composite monitors. We can build a matrix device using cards from the NW family. Device is not DVR and does no recording. Free NVR software supports a basic virtual matrix but additional software can be purchased to create a video wall. MATRIX
