Description

The DX4500/DX4600 Series digital video recorder (DVR) is the latest generation in entry-level DVRs. Equipped with an embedded operating system, the DVR offers camera capacity, features, and functionality exceeding other DVRs. The DX4500/DX4600 is designed for the entry-level market that requires 8 or 16 camera inputs; greater internal hard drive storage capacity; fast frame rate recording; and powerful playback, search, and export capability. The DX4500/DX4600 not only replaces the traditional VCR and multiplexer combination, but it also offers the benefits derived from the latest in digital video processing.

Designed to work with today’s broadband networks, the DX4500/DX4600 uses MPEG-4 compression, allowing you to view and control the DVR across local or wide area networks. Recording at resolutions of up to 704 x 480 (4CIF), the DX4500/DX4600 captures crystal clear pictures, creating effective footage for later use and retrieval. Exported video is easily reviewed at the DX4500/DX4600 server or remote client computer using the Export Viewer. Each DVR input channel can be configured individually to meet a specific security application requirement for video retention. Video critical to investigation and archiving is easily exported to a USB memory device or to an optional CD-RW or DVD±RW device.

Operation of the unit is made easy through the front panel, remote control keypad, or USB mouse. The remote DX4500/DX4600 Client application can interface with up to sixteen DX4500/DX4600 servers simultaneously. User-configurable disk partitioning is used to allocate specific hard disk space for storing continuous video data, and event-initiated video data. The retention time can be different for retaining continuous recorded video, and event-initiated recorded video.

For surveillance applications requiring pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) capability, the DX4500/DX4600 addresses and controls PTZ equipment such as Spectra® domes and Esprit® positioning systems, or third-party cameras. An optional Pelco KBD300A keyboard can be connected to the DX4500/DX4600 to operate PTZ devices. The DX4500/DX4600 supports Pelco C (Coaxitron®), Pelco D, and Pelco P protocols. Pelco C allows you to operate Pelco PTZ cameras up to a distances of 1,500 feet (457m).

With the ability to trigger recording and response to events (such as alarm inputs, motion detection, and video loss), the DX4500/DX4600 Series becomes an automated monitoring system as well. The DX4600 Series DVR supports multi-event recording. Multi-event recording includes any single or combination of events associated with an alarm, motion, or instant recording event. The DX4600 allows you to schedule each camera to record in a single or multiple-event mode across a 24-hour timeline. You can also configure each camera to record at a specific resolution, quality, and image rate when an event is triggered.

The DX4500/DX4600 video outputs provide for efficient control and effective deterrence. The choice of VGA or composite main monitor output provides flexibility for the user. The main monitor output can be adjusted to display one, four, nine, or sixteen cameras, or it can be adjusted for a custom display. The DX4500/DX4600’s spot monitor output can be used for public viewing or alarm call-up.

The DX4500/DX4600 is designed to deliver robust and reliable performance for security professionals. From the incorporation of watermarking technology to prevent alterations to captured video, to the ability to capture log entries, to the inclusion of Pelco’s world renowned customer service promise, the DX4500/DX4600 embodies the ideal entry-level DVR to protect people and assets.
