Turning On the DVR5100

Press the power button located on the right front of the DVR5100. The Pelco logo turns blue when power is applied.

During startup, the DVR5100 reads configuration files from the flash card, and then copies them to a protected partition on the hard disk drives. This mirroring of the operating system drive is a critical aspect of the reliability designed into the DVR5100. Once turned on, the two databases are synchronized regularly. If a hard disk drive failure occurs, this synchronization ensures that the system can recover quickly and efficiently by replacing the failed drive. The startup time is extended as a result of the database synchronization.

The DVR5100 front panel control pad contains four color-coded function buttons.

The lights of the control pad cycle through various color combinations during the startup process. Once complete, the blue and red function buttons on top of the control pad are steady. At this point, you can either log on to the unit or change the output monitor configuration.

CHANGING THE MONITOR CONFIGURATION

The default DVR5100 monitor configuration is VGA. You should see the log on prompt if you are using a VGA monitor. If you are using a composite or S-Video monitor, change the output mode as follows:

•Press Menu .

•Press the yellow function button for NTSC or the green function button for PAL. The unit will restart in a composite monitor output mode.

NOTE: Figure 20 shows the monitor selection label that is positioned on the top of the DVR5100.

LOGGING ON FOR THE FIRST TIME

Each time you start the DVR5100, the system automatically begins a 60-second counter. This feature allows the system to automatically log on the designated user each time the DVR is rebooted (for example, after a power failure or when the unit is restarted for any reason).

Figure 21. Autologin Dialog Box

An administrator can enable or disable the autologin feature from the General System setup screen. In addition, an Administrator can select a different user to automatically log on for future access. Once the time counts down to zero, the designated user is logged on. To interrupt the autologin process or log on as a different user, follow the steps below to log on with the keyboard/mouse or the control pad. The default user is “admin.”

•Select the admin user from the user ID list (if not selected).

•Enter the password with the USB keyboard [or the on-screen keyboard].

Additionally, the DVR5100 features customizable recording settings. Users can choose from various recording modes – continuous, scheduled, or event-triggered – to best suit their surveillance needs. The inclusion of motion detection technology further enhances its functionality, allowing the system to capture footage only when activity is detected, thus conserving storage space and reducing the clutter of non-critical recordings.

The user interface of the DVR5100 is designed with simplicity in mind, offering intuitive navigation through its menus and settings. This ease of use is complemented by comprehensive search features, enabling quick retrieval of recorded videos based on time, date, or event type.

In summary, the Pelco DVR5100 is a robust digital video recorder that excels in providing high-quality surveillance capabilities, advanced compression technologies, and user-friendly features.
