Extending Video Retention by Changing Frame Rate

Traditionally, users looking to retain video for as long as possible were forced to compromise between recording at a lower quality and a lower frame rate. The DVR5100 now introduces a powerful alternative to achieving longer retention times.

Pelco's patented EnduraStortechnology provides you with the ability to prune recorded video down to five images, three images, two images, one image, one image every two seconds, and one image every three seconds after a defined period of time. Instead of recording from the very beginning at a very slow rate, EnduraStor allows you to retain high frame rate video for the time period it is needed most. When programming the EnduraStor delay period, you can customize the storage options to suit your operation model. You can get the retention targets you are looking for while realizing the benefit of having 30/25 images per second (ips) video available for investigation and export. The DVR5100 now provides additional flexibility that allows you to optimize your recorded video to meet budget constraints.

Table C lists the recording rates.
