Video Controls

When viewing video in a single screen or a 2 x 2 layout, place your mouse pointer in a connected video pane; a set of controls appears at the bottom of the video pane (refer to Figure 13). To hide the video controls, move the mouse pointer outside of the video pane.

Figure 13. Live Video Controls

The video controls allow you to adjust the camera’s iris and focus, control the recorded video playback activate manual recording, and export video clips and snapshots (refer to Table D). The fast-forward controls are unavailable when viewing live video. However, the rewind controls are still available, which provide instant playback of events without the need to conduct a separate search.

The set of video controls is slightly different when playing back recorded video that is found through a search. For more information, refer to Playing Back Video on page 47. Video controls are tied to user permissions. If you do not see a particular video control, you may not have permission to use that video control. Contact your system administrator to request permission changes.

Additionally, the DVR5100 features customizable recording settings. Users can choose from various recording modes – continuous, scheduled, or event-triggered – to best suit their surveillance needs. The inclusion of motion detection technology further enhances its functionality, allowing the system to capture footage only when activity is detected, thus conserving storage space and reducing the clutter of non-critical recordings.

The user interface of the DVR5100 is designed with simplicity in mind, offering intuitive navigation through its menus and settings. This ease of use is complemented by comprehensive search features, enabling quick retrieval of recorded videos based on time, date, or event type.

In summary, the Pelco DVR5100 is a robust digital video recorder that excels in providing high-quality surveillance capabilities, advanced compression technologies, and user-friendly features.
