LOGS SETUP

The DVR5100 maintains a system log that provides an overview of daily system events (refer to Figure 69). Each time a user logs on to the system, an entry is written automatically in the system log. Other entries in the log track alarms that occur throughout the day, diagnostic information about devices, and so forth. You can also make manual entries in the system log from the remote client. A system log can become quite large if it is not managed properly. You can control how much information is written in the log and how often information is deleted from the log. By default, system log entries that are older than 30 days are deleted from the log. Refer to Table AD on page 77 for more information on log 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 DVR also supports simultaneous recording and playback, allowing users to monitor live feeds while reviewing previous recordings.

Remote accessibility is another key characteristic of the DVR5100. Thanks to its integrated network functionality, users can access the system from anywhere with an internet connection.

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.
