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.
