ALARMS SETUP

The DVR5100 provides one alarm input for each camera. The alarm inputs can be configured separately. Alarms are not displayed in the Alarm Received pop-up window until the specified alarm input is configured. To monitor and respond to alarms, you must be assigned a role that includes access to the service.

The DVR5100 offers 16 alarm inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Each alarm input can be normally open or normally closed; supervised or unsupervised (refer to Figure 56).

Once configured, an alarm input can invoke many different activities, including triggering a relay device, sending an alert to a security office, changing the video recording settings, and storing pre-alarm video to the DVR5100. You can connect switches or contacts directly to the unit without a separate power supply. Refer to Table Z on page 74 for more information on alarm settings and defaults.

As part of Pelco's robust lineup of video management equipment, the DVR5100 offers a variety of features and technologies that make it an excellent choice for both commercial and residential environments.

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. Whether for a small business or a large security operation, the DVR5100 stands out as an efficient and reliable solution for comprehensive video management and monitoring needs.
