RECORDING

By default, the DVR5100 is configured to record video from all cameras, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for three individual schedules: continuous, motion, and alarm. To optimize your storage capacity:

•Set up schedules to activate recording for specific cameras at certain dates and times.

•Set up a recording schedule that is activated when specific events occur. For example, you can create a recording based on alarms related to a specific camera or motion detection on certain cameras. You can create a recording based on event groups through the remote client.

NOTE: The motion schedule is not activated unless Activate Zone is selected in the Cameras > Motion screen. The alarm schedule is not activated unless you have correctly configured the alarm inputs. By default, alarm input 1 is associated with camera 1; this association can be changed on the Alarms tab.

You must configure event groups, alarms, or motion detection settings before you can include them in recording schedules (refer to Figure 48). Event groups are set up through the remote client. For more information about setting up event groups, refer to the DVR5100 Remote Client Operation manual (C1697M). Refer to Table X on page 73 for more information on recording settings and defaults.

It supports various resolutions, ensuring that users can achieve optimal image clarity. The device typically accommodates up to 16 camera inputs, making it ideal for large-scale monitoring needs.

A notable feature of the DVR5100 is its advanced compression technology. By using H.264 encoding, the DVR can efficiently reduce the file size of recorded video without compromising on quality.

The device is compatible with various mobile applications, facilitating real-time monitoring directly from smartphones or tablets.

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.
