About the DVR5100 Series Digital Video Recorder
The DVR5100 Series digital video recorder (DVR) is stand-alone or Endura-enabled, high-performance 4, 8, or 16 channel DVR. The DVR5100
combines superior forensic functions, easy-to-use interfaces, and video recording performance previously reserved for extremely high-end
systems. Digital video recorders designed for forensic applications must record video at high resolutions to capture exceptional detail and quality
required for investigative work. The DVR5100 captures video at up to 704 x 480 pixels (NTSC) or 704 x 576 pixels (PAL) at 30 ips (NTSC) or 25 ips
(PAL), providing the investigator with essential details.
The DVR5100’s remarkable performance is enhanced by the use of the EnduraStor™ storage optimization technology. EnduraStor allows video
recorded at higher frame rates to be reduced to 2 ips after a predetermined period of time, saving valuable hard disk drive space. EnduraStor,
combined with powerful motion detection capabilities and programmable recording schedules, allows t he user to customize the performance of
the DVR5100 and optimize the required storage capacity.
A user-supplied USB keyboard can be connected to a DVR5100 USB port to configure the DVR5100 settings quickly and easily. Convenient front
panel controls with integrated joystick, jog, and shuttle, combined with an intuitive and simple graphical user interface (GUI), make using the
DVR easy and effortless. The front panel controls allow operation of Pelco PTZ cameras through Coaxitron®, D, or P protocol. An innovative
single-key export feature simplifies the exporting of video.
Flexible view options allow users to optimize the DVR for their particular application requirements. Video can be displayed on NTSC/PAL
composite, NTSC/PAL S-video, or VGA monitors. The main monitor can display one, four, nine, or sixteen images. Live and playback video can be
combined on the same screen. In addition, a programmable spot monitor provides a sequencing display on a composite monitor.
The DVR5100 uses Internet Protocol-based networking for remote accessibility and contro l of the DVR. All connections are made over a secure
and encrypted VPN session. For local area networks, the DVR5100’s 1 gigabit network port supports its impressive performance.
With a maximum recording speed of 30 images (NTSC) or 25 images (PAL) per camera per second at 4CIF resolution, the DVR5100 shatters
previous performance marks and establishes the best value in the industry for forens ic digital video recorders. The combination of enterprise
class recording capabilities, ample internal storage, remote accessibility, and the reliability and assurance found in Pelco products makes this the
ideal DVR for unmanaged video surveillance applications typical of the retail, banking, education, and medical industries.
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.
