The DVR5100 features innovative configuration options and tools that can significantly decrease the amount of time and effort required to deploy a unit. Connect the supplied USB keyboard and mouse to the DVR5100 and configuration becomes as easy as a Windows®-based DVR. Take advantage of carefully laid out menus to intuitively navigate through the configuration process. Leverage the built-in storage estimator and automatic camera configuration options to instantly program the DVR’s recording behavior in support of a required retention target.

Convenient front panel controls, combined with a heads-up icon-based user interface, make operating the DVR5100 easy. The icon-based user interface and color coordinated function keys on the front panel help to reduce the learning curve. The USB keyboard, mouse, and the front panel controls, allow operation of Pelco pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras through either Coaxitron®, Pelco D, or Pelco P protocols. Live video can be paused, rewound, or fast-forwarded with the push of a button. A single-button operation opens search screens that allow near instant access to video that is required for investigations. A single-button export feature simplifies the exporting of digitally signed video, along with the player, onto the included CD/DVD writer or user-supplied USB memory device.

The DVR5100 delivers enterprise-class video recording performance to the mainstream DVR market. To support high-performance, while keeping the total cost of ownership within budget constraints, the DVR5100 uses the EnduraStorstorage optimization technology. EnduraStor allows video, recorded at higher frame rates, to be reduced to a lower rate after a user-defined period of time. This saves valuable hard disk drive space and makes real time video available for search, playback, and export during the delay period. Instead of reverting to time-lapse recording to achieve longer retention periods, EnduraStor records and retains real-time video for the designated delay period. Alarm or event video is automatically saved at the higher recorded rate. EnduraStor makes real-time video available when you need it most, while keeping storage costs under control.

Flexible view options allow you to display superior video on a variety of monitors. Video can be displayed on NTSC/PAL composite, NTSC/PAL, S-Video, or VGA monitors. The main monitor can display 1, 4, 9, or 16 images. Live and playback video can be combined on the same monitor simultaneously, allowing you to observe the scene while conducting a search on recorded video. In addition, a programmable sequence monitor provides a sequencing display for the analog cameras to a composite monitor.

For remote viewing and administration, the DVR5100 provides unparalleled sophistication and flexibility. Designed to protect the system and sensitive video content from unauthorized access, remote access is tightly controlled and protected through a built-in VPN server. The free remote client software provides bandwidth throttling upon each connection to the DVR. Clients with limited Internet speed will not impact users with more bandwidth if all connect to the DVR at the same time. The remote client adds additional sophistication to the DVR5100. Custom user profiles can be created on the remote client that provide extremely fine granularity on user rights and permissions. Event groups can be created that incorporate multiple alarm conditions, providing an effective means of filtering out potential false alarms. Finally, complex scripts can be written that coordinate the response of the DVR to a given alarm or event trigger.

The combination of enterprise-class recording performance, cutting-edge storage optimization technologies, efficient and intuitive configuration and operation, and flexible upgrade paths that enhance the ROI, make the DVR5100 the ideal solution for retail, finance, education, corporate, and commercial security applications.

NOTE: The DVR5100 can operate as a stand-alone or networked device. If the DVR5100 is going to be included in an existing network, always include your network administrator when planning and installing the DVR5100.
