Extending Video Retention by Changing Frame Rate Traditionally, users looking to retain video for as long as possible were forced to compromise between recording at a lower quality and a lower
frame rate. The DVR5100 now introduces a powerful alternative to achieving longer retention times.
Pelco's patented EnduraStor
™
technology provides you with the ability to prune recorded video down to five images, three images, two images,
one image, one image every two seconds, and one image every three seconds after a defined period of time. Instead of recording from the very
beginning at a very slow rate, EnduraStor allows you to retain high frame rate video for the time period it is needed most. When programming
the EnduraStor delay period, you can customize the storage options to suit your operation model. You can get the retention targets you are
looking for while realizing the benefit of having 30/25 images per second (ips) video available for investigation and export. The DVR5100 now
provides additional flexibility that allows you to optimize your recorded video to meet budget constraints.
Table C lists the recording rates.

*New settings are recorded at 30/25 ips unless EnduraStor is enabled, at which point
recorded video is pruned to the designated image rate. For information on using
EnduraStor, refer to the DVR5100 Series Digital Video Recorder Installation manual
(C1695M).
