Video Quality Caution

FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS

Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data tra nsfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.

Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture ra te and pict ure qu ality. In the event users intend t o use t he video for e videntiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

Description

The DVR5300 Series digital video recorder (DVR) represents a whole new concept in e n terprise digital video recording solutions. It is one of the
recording components of Endura®, Pelco’s most advanced integrated video security system. The DVR represents the state of the art in scalability,
performance, expandability, and reliability. It is ideally suited for mission-critical, enterprise surveillance applications.

The DVR5300 Series recorder is capable of continuous, sch eduled, alarm/event, and motion recording. Pre- and post-alarm recording is also
available. All recording is fully programmable on a per-channel basis. The unit maximizes storage efficiency using EnduraStor
priority-based system that identifies data to be removed when stored video reaches a predefined age. With EnduraStor, users no longer have to
compromise on recorded frame rates to save on storage costs. EnduraStor gives users the ability to retain full frame rate recorded video for a
user-defined period of time and then reduce the frame rate to save on stor age costs.

Designed with reliability in mind, the DVR5300 Series provides performance enhancement and fault tolerance by employing RAID 5 (Redundant
Array of Independent Disks level 5) disk management across as many as 12 hard drives. The DVR incorporates two RAID 5 controllers, each
managing six hard drives.

NOTE: The DVR5300 Series recorder supports hot-swappa ble hard drives in case of failure; it does not support hot hard drive expansion.
Dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies add another layer of reliability to the unit. Support for matrix-enabled failover rounds out the

reliability aspects of the DVR5300.
Diagnostics are systemized with other Endura products and can be reported to the Endura system. Administrators can view th e status of

individual components in realtime, thereby preventing failures.
T ogether with the Pelco ENC5300 Series USB multichannel video recorder, the DVR5300 supports control of pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras.

It supports Pelco D, Pelco P, and Coaxitron
commands to the PTZ device through the ENC5300. With the Pelco D and Pelco P protocols, the DVR transmits those commands directly to the
PTZ device over a serial connection.

With its modular design, you can connect up to three ENC5300 Series units to each DVR5300 for a maximum of 24 or 48 analog video inputs per
DVR5300 (depending on model). You can also mix NET5301T or other Endura video recorders with the ENC5300 units for a total of 24 or 48
analog and IP video inputs per DVR5300 (depending on model).

Video can be monitored and played back from the CM9700 Series (CM9760/9770/9780) matrix using the optional CM9700MDD-EVS, a WS5000
Endura workstation, or a VCD5000 video console display.

Hard Drive Array Installation

All DVR5300 Series recorders use RAID 5 to maximize fault tolerance and enhance disk-access performance. The unit incorporates two RAID5
controllers; each manages an independent storage array of six drives. If one drive fails, the un it continues operating and sign als the operator that
the drive failed and should be replaced.

INSTALLING HARD DRIVE CARRIERS

After you have securely mounted the DVR5300, you will install 12 hard drive carriers into the front of the chassis. Each hard drive is already
mounted in its own drive carrier so that you can easily insert and remove a hard drive, even while the unit is operating.

WARNING Each hard drive has been preconfigured for a specific drive bay in the DVR5300. If you do not install them in their proper
locations, the RAID arrays will be corrupted and the unit will no t record.

NOTE: You must install all hard drive carriers before you apply power to the DVR5300. All six-drive models (1.5 TB/2.4 TB/3.0 TB) include six
empty hard drive carriers that you must also install. The drive status indicator is not included on empty drive carriers.

To install the hard drive carriers into the front of the unit:

1. Make sure you protect the unit and its components, which are susceptible to damage from improper handling and electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Refer to the Safe Handling Instructions of Hard Drives (C2668M) f or addi tional savety inst ructions when hand ling a har d drive.Unlock
and open the bezel cover.

Figure 16. Opening the Front Bezel

2. Identify the drive bay for each hard drive car rier. The drive bays and drive carriers are numbered from 1 to 12 (refer to Figure17 below and
Figure 18 on page 22).

Figure 17. Drive Bay Assignment

On six-drive models (1.5 TB/3.0 TB), carriers 1 through 6 contain hard drives. Carriers 7 through 12 do not contain hard drives, but should be
installed to maintain proper air circulation in the unit.

Upgrade kits are available that increase the unit capacity of the six-drive models by 1.5 TB or 3.0 TB. Each upgrade kit includes six filled
hard drive carriers. Contact Pelco’s Product Support for more information (refer to Appendix F: Troubleshooting on page 43 for contact
information).

3. Install the first hard drive carrier as follows:

WARNING: The hard drive carrier fits into the unit only one way. If you have difficulty inserting a carrier, remove it and check its

orientation.
a. Orient the drive carrier so that the drive status indicator is pointing up.
b. Align the tapered ends of the carrier rails with the correct drive slot opening.
c. Slide the drive carrier gently into the unit. Make sure the carrier snaps into place.

CONNECTING POWER

The DVR5300 is equipped with two hot-swappable power supplies. These autoranging power supplies adapt automatically to voltages between
100 VAC and 240 VAC (50/60 Hz).

You should also install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (not supplied). UPS devices maintain a limited amount of backup battery power in
case the main power fails. Refer to Appendix D: Installing an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) on page41 for more information.

NOTE: Connect each power supply to a different branch circuit. This ensures optimal performance, reduces possible video loss, and reduces
power leakage to a safe level.

T o connect power to the DVR5300:

1. Connect one of the supplied US, European, or UK standard power cords to the back of the primary power supply’s power connector.

2. Connect the other end of this power cord to the appropriate power source.

3. Connect the other supplied US, European, or UK standard power cord to the back of the secondary power supply’s power connector.

4. Connect the other end of this power cord to the appropriate power source.

When connected, the power supply status indicators glow solid red. As soon as the unit starts, the indicators glow solid green. During operation,
if either indicator is dark or glows red, there is a problem with the power supply (refer to Appendix F: Troubleshooting on page43 for more
information).

NOTE: Do not power up any DVR5300 system component (ENC5300, network, camera control) until you have connected all components.

CONNECTING ENC5300 SERIES VIDEO ENCODERS

You can connect up to three ENC5300 Series video encoders to the DVR5300 Series digital video recorder. A DVR5300 can recor d up to 24 or 48
video inputs, depending on model. These inputs can be recorded from attached ENC5300 Series video encoders as well as other
Endura-compatible video encoders or cameras on the same VLAN.

Three of the four USB ports on the DVR5300 rear panel correspond to a specific set of video inputs from ENC5300 units. You can mix ENC5316
and ENC5308 units on the same DVR5300. Any unused video streams can be associated with other Endura-compatible video encoders or
cameras.

Each DVR5300 includes three different colored USB cables and a matching set of colored stickers. Use them on the DVR5300 and ENC5300 rear
panels to match each ENC5300 to its specific video inputs.

T ableA and Table B show the assigned video inputs for each ENC5316 and ENC5308 by USB port on the DVR5348 and DVR5324, respectively.
The DVR5300 will always assign the indicated video inputs to each USB port. When installing an ENC5308, the DVR5300 will disregard the
unused video input numbers.

When the ENC5300 units are first powered up, their unit status lights blink green until the DVR5300 recognizes them and puts them into service.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

The DVR5300 Series recorder supports remote administration from a WS5000 Endura workstation. The DVR5300 is compatible with the entire
family of Endura-ready devices using TCP/IP and UPnP protocols. Consult with your network administrator before installing the DVR5300 to avoid
possible network conflicts.

The DVR5300 offers the following two network connectors on the rear pane l:

• Primary network connector : Use this Gigabit Ethernet port to connect the DVR5300 t o the Endura network. This is required for
Endura operation.

• Secondary network connector : Use this Gigabit Ethernet port to expand the storage capacity of the DVR5300 with one or more
SEB5100 storage expansion boxes (refer to Appendix A: Expanding Video Storage on page 33).

NOTE: For best results, you should only implement an Endu ra system on a 1000Base-T network. Unless the Endura installation is very small with
a dedicated Endura network, a 100Base-T network will not support the necessary data throughput requirements.

To connect the DVR5300 to the Endura network using a switched Gigabit Ethernet network:

1. Connect one end of an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to the primary network connector on the DVR5300 rear panel. Use standard
Cat5e or better UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors.

NOTE: Do not connect the UTP cable to the secondary network connector .

2. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to an available port on a Pelco-approved Gigabit Ethernet switch. Contact Pelco’s Product Support
for a list of approved Gigabit Ethernet switches (refer to Appendix F: Troubleshooting on page43 for contact information).

There are two indicators on the network connector on the rear panel. The right indicator glows orange when there is a good connection
between the DVR5300 and a Gigabit Ethernet switch that is powered up. If the indicator does not glow, check the cable and the s witch.
Disregard the left indicator, which shows network activity.

NOTE: Do not power up any DVR5300 system component (ENC5300, network, camera control) until you have connected all components.

CONNECTING SERIAL PTZ DEVICES

NOTE: Pelco recommends using the Coaxitron up-the -coax camera control protocol, which simplifies installation and does not require any

additional equipment. For information on implementing Coaxitron on the DVR5300, refer to the ENC5300 Series Installation manu al (C1625M).
The DVR5300 supports Pelco D (four-wire) and Pelco P (two-wire) protocols. These protocols use a serial interface to transmit commands to the

PTZ device over separate control wires. When the DVR5300 receives a camera control command, it transmits that command to the PTZ device.
The system continues receiving video over the coaxial cable through the ENC5300.

You can install multiple camera control lines in a star configuration. Run all control lines from each device to a CM9760-CDU-T code distribution
unit (CDU) in a central location. Then connect the CDU to the DVR5300. The maximum length for each pair of control lines is 4,000 feet (1,219 m).
The CDU only supports two-wire (unidirectional) operation for Pelco D and Pelco P.

NOTES:

• When using serial PTZ devices, do not mix protocols on the same control chain.

• All serial PTZ devices require at least two wires (RX+ and RX-). If a device is bidirectional, you have to run two additional wires to the
device (TX+ and TX-).

T o connect serial PTZ devices to a DVR5300 using a star configuration (refer to Figure 23):

1. Connect twisted pair wiring from the RX+ and RX- on each PTZ device to the TX+ and TX- leads on a specific channel on the CM9760-CDU-T
(refer to the CM9760-CDU-T Installation/Operation manual [C1940M]). The maximum length is 4,000 feet (1,219 m).
