2. DVR - Does the ZapperBox M1 have USB ports and a microSD card slot for DVR? What about the M2 and M3?
The ZapperBox M1 has one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port and one SD-Micro slot. You can see a 360-degree view of the ZapperBox at this link. Scroll down to the second panel.
DVR works with USB drives or the micro-SD card. Both are not needed. DVR requires a minimum storage of 128GB. There is no maximum drive size restriction. See FAQ #22 for more on supported drives. We recommend that the 60-minute pause buffer be disabled when using microSD cards and thumb drives. This will help ensure a long life for such storage.
Models M2 and M3 have one USB 2.0 port and one microSD slot. Model M3 is not a DVR, just a gateway client. At this time it does not use its USB port or microSD slot.
The USB ports on ZapperBox models M1 and M2 do not supply enough power for most hard disk drives. See FAQ #22 for more details. If both a microSD card and a USB drive are inserted only one of them will be used. The user interface for formatting drives currently supports only one drive. Support for multiple drives will be added in a future release.
