Service Update Instructions

Before you apply the service update patch, please read this document, which describes all of the details about the service update patch and how

to perform the service update instructions for DX8000 digital video recorders (DVR) running V1.0 or V1.1 software.

This service update resolves the issue within a very small percentage of recorders (far less than 1%) where the recording of video may be halted

if any of the video index ﬁles become damaged, for example, by an unexpected loss of power during an index-ﬁle write cycle.

The enclosed Resource CD (CD-DX8000-V11P) contains the DX8000 Database File Patch service update.

IMPORTANT:

You are strongly urged to apply this patch to all DX8000 DVRs because there is no way of predicting when a video index ﬁle could

become corrupt.

You can also obtain service update software from the Pelco Web site by going to: www.pelco.com/software/. Please download and distribute

this update as soon as possible. Should you have any questions, please contact Pelco, Digital Support department at 1-800-289-9100.
