The DVR comes with a choice of 4, 8, or 16 analog camera inputs, and 16, 12, or 4 IP camera inputs, respectively. The DVR5100 can be networked in a server-to-server configuration across a LAN, allowing access to any camera, on any DVR, from any other DVR5100. Finally, the DVR5100 can be integrated into a fully distributed Endura® system, allowing for centralized monitoring and management in a scalable and expandable IP surveillance system.The DVR5100 combines all these features with efficient configuration, intuitive operation, and cutting-edge storage optimization technologies in a mainstream DVR.

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ. The network implementation is shown as a general representation only and is not intended to show a detailed network topology. Your actual network will differ, requiring changes or perhaps additional network equipment to accommodate the system as illustrated. Please contact your local Pelco representative to discuss your specific requirements. As shown above, one DVR5100 Remote Client application can access one DVR at a time. Each DVR5100 can support up to five simultaneous remote client connections.

The hybrid capability of the DVR5100 offers a cost-effective way to service existing analog cameras, while providing expansion through the use of new IP cameras. By leveraging ubiquitous IP networks and taking advantage of technologies such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), IP cameras provide an attractive alternative to deploying analog cameras. The DVR5100 Series supports the following camera options:

•DVR5104: Records 4 analog cameras and up to 16 IP cameras.

•DVR5108: Records 8 analog cameras and up to 12 IP cameras.

•DVR5116: Records 16 analog cameras and up to 4 IP cameras.

The DVR5100 supports a wide array of Pelco IP cameras. With the ability to record analog and IP cameras, systems can be designed to service existing cameras while laying the groundwork for future expansion.

The DVR5100 server-to-server capability can create a virtual security room. Up to five DVRs can be networked together across a LAN. With predefined rights and permissions, users can log on to any DVR on the network and access all cameras and options granted to them, regardless of the DVR to which the cameras are connected. Finally, a remote client connection to one of the DVRs on the network will provide access to all DVRs configured in the server-to-server mode. A virtual matrix of up to 100 cameras can be configured easily to support the needs of a given site.

Endura system integration creates a second, more powerful growth path for DVR users. The DVR5100 can easily become a systemized component of the Endura system. When integrated, the DVR5100 will continue to provide local access to its cameras. In addition, an Endura workstation, decoder, or VCD5000, can monitor and control any camera, alarm, or relay connected to any DVR5100 in a full virtual matrix application. DVR5100s are administered and managed through the Endura workstation: user rights and permissions can be established at each DVR5100 for local access.
