Description

The DX1104-080 digital video recorder (DVR) is a compact recorder that can store and play back images from four cameras and audio from one camera. The DVR can be placed on a shelf or desktop for easy access to the front panel controls for operation and programming.

Live video from all four cameras can be viewed while recording. Recording can be done continuously or for a scheduled time in a 24-hour period. Each camera has its own alarm input for alarm recording.

An 80 GB hard drive generally allows continuous recording up to four weeks under the most common recording conditions. Recording time will vary depending on image size, number of cameras recorded, resolution selection, and record rate.

Recording can be stopped at any time to play back video. Search functions during playback allow frame-by-frame viewing, fast playback, and playback of alarm events.

The DVR uses proprietary compression algorithms to prevent alteration of the video image, as well as password protection to guard against unauthorized or unintentional recording or playback.

The DX1104-080 lets you load the latest software version (available from Pelco’s web site) into the DVR via a USB ﬂash drive that is supplied with the DVR. The USB ﬂash drive can also be used to save recorded video and audio from the DVR to a PC.

WARNING: Adequate ventilation is required for proper operation of the DVR. Allow two inches of space above the unit and on each

side for air circulation.

1. Connect cameras to the CAMERA INPUT connectors (BNC) on the rear of the DVR. Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances.

2. Connect a monitor to one of the VIDEO OUTPUT connectors (BNC) on the rear of the DVR. Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances.

3. To save data from the DVR, use the USB ﬂash drive or connect a peripheral recording device to the remaining VIDEO OUTPUT connector (BNC) on the rear of the DVR. Refer to Table A for video coaxial cable distances.

Table A. Video Coaxial Cable Requirements

Cable Type* Maximum Distance

RG59/U 750 ft (229 m)

RG6/U 1,000 ft (305 m)

RG11/U 1,500 ft (457 m)

*Minimum cable requirements:

75 ohms impedance All-copper center conductor All-copper braided shield with 95% braid coverage

4. If audio is desired, connect a preampliﬁed microphone to the AUDIO IN jack on the rear of the DVR.

NOTE: Before using the DX1104-080’s audio recording feature, consult your location’s applicable laws regarding audio

surveillance.

5. To save audio from the DVR, use the USB ﬂash drive or connect a peripheral recording device to the AUDIO OUT jack on the rear of the DVR.

6. Connect alarm inputs and alarm relay output as follows:

a. Inputs – Connect wiring (not supplied) to your alarms (not supplied). Two wires are required for each alarm. You can have one alarm

for each camera.

b. Output – Connect wiring (not supplied) to a 12 VDC light or buzzer (not supplied). Two wires are required.

c. Bring the alarm input and output wiring to the back of the DVR and thread the wiring through the Induced Voltage Protector (supplied).

Loop the wiring over the voltage protector and thread it through the voltage protector a second time.

d. Connect the alarm input wires to the SENSOR connectors.

e. Connect the light or buzzer to the ALARM output connectors.

7. Connect the recorder to power.

a. Place the NTSC/PAL switch in the proper mode.

b. If applicable, connect the 230 VAC adapter to the end of the power cord. Plug in the power cord.

c. Turn on the DVR. When the recorder is turned on for the ﬁrst time, the Help screens will appear on the monitor. To bypass the Help

screens, press the Play/Pause button.

8. Turn on the cameras and monitor. The DVR begins recording the cameras.

IMPORTANT: If you have any unused camera inputs, the video appears washed out. The degree of washout depends on how

many inputs have no cameras connected to them. If only one camera is connected, the video is completely washed out. When you program the DVR (step 11), you must turn off any unused camera inputs. Video will then appear normal.

9. Go to Time Menu in the Programming section and set the time and date.

10. Initialize the DVR. Refer to the instructions on the separate sheet included with this manual.

This is a necessary step as the DVR may not operate properly during playback and search operation if there are conﬂicts in the date and time.

11. Proceed to the Programming section to set up the recording parameters and enter a password (optional).

8. Use the Search (<</>>) buttons to highlight Camera Operation, and then press the Play/Pause button to toggle between On or Off. On means the DVR will record video for that channel, and Off means it will not record video, even if a camera is connected.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If camera inputs are not used, make sure Camera Operation is OFF. Video washout occurs if unused inputs

are left on. The degree of washout depends on how many inputs have no cameras connected to them. The most severe case is when all inputs are turned on but only one camera is connected; in this case the video is completely washed out.

AUTOMATIC RECORDING

Use the Search (<</>>) buttons to highlight Automatic Recording, and then press the Play/Pause button to toggle between On or Off. On means the DVR will record automatically during the times you will select in the following steps. Off means you will manually turn the recorder on and off.
