Pelco DVR5100 manual Storage Setup, Global Settings

Page 52

STORAGE SETUP

You can configure the recording parameters to meet specific retention, resolution, and recording rate targets through the Recording Storage screen (refer to Figure 55). Enter a desired retention target and allow the system to modify the rate and resolution to achieve that retention target, or lock specific aspects to see the expected days of storage. The DVR5100 utilizes Pelco’s patented EnduraStor algorithm to capture video in real time and prune to a lower time-lapse rate after a user-defined delay period. EnduraStor allows you access to recorded real-time video for the delay period. Real-time video immediately following a security incident makes searching and exporting evidence more effective. Refer to Table Y on page 73 for more information on storage settings and defaults.

Figure 55. Recording Storage Screen

The Storage screen allows you to specify which storage settings are the most important, such as maximizing the days of storage or maintaining a high frame rate and resolution. Depending upon your requirements, you can automatically update individual camera settings by clicking the check box next to the desired setting.

GLOBAL SETTINGS

Global Settings allow you to specify the days of storage, resolution, and stored frame rate for all cameras. By default, the resolution is SIF and the stored frame rate is 1/1 with 30 frames per second (fps) in live view.

To change a global setting and apply that change to all cameras:

1.Select the check box to activate the control (days of storage, resolution, or stored fps.) Camera settings are updated and fixed to this global setting.

2.Choose the desired settings from the drop-down lists, and the other values will update automatically.

NOTE: Depending on the values you select for one setting, the range of options for the other settings will be restricted. For example, if you choose 4SIF, the days of storage are greatly reduced and the range of options for FPS are limited to 1/1 or 1/2.

3. Select the check box to unlock a setting.

NOTE: Changes to global settings will not affect those cameras already locked to a different resolution or frame rate.

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.

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.
