SYNCHRONOUS PLAYBACK

You can select several cameras and have them all start playing back from the same moment in time. By activating Synchronous Playback, you can select recorded video from up to four cameras and use a single set of video controls to play, pause, forward, and reverse all four cameras.

To enable synchronous playback:

1.Search for the video you want to play back using either Quick Search or Enhanced Search.

2.On the DVR5100 remote client toolbar, click Synchronous Playback . The currently selected workspace switches to a 2 x 2 layout, the borders of the video panes turn yellow, and the synchronous playback icons appear in the center of each pane (refer to Figure 53).

3.Drag and drop a search result in the upper-left video pane. The message “Primary ready” appears in the pane.

4.Select up to three other cameras from which you want to play back video. Drag and drop the cameras into the other video panes. The video from the cameras does not appear until you start playback in the primary (upper-left) video pane. The message “Secondary ready” appears in the center of the other panes with video assigned to them (refer to Figure 53).

NOTE: When start and stop times of the primary and secondary streams are not identical, video in all of the video panes begins to play at the primary video pane start time. Click Synchronous Playback to jump to the next opportunity to display synchronized video. In some cases, video in the secondary panes plays at different speeds until it synchronizes with video in the primary pane.

5.Use the video controls panel in the upper-left video pane to play, pause, fast-forward or reverse, and frame forward or reverse.

6.Click Synchronous Playback again to exit Synchronous Playback mode.

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.
