USB PC Keyboard, Mouse, and Template for the DVR5100

The DVR5100 provides a control pad on the front panel that allows you to access the unit’s user interface (UI). A USB PC keyboard and mouse, and a keyboard overlay (template) are now included as an alternate method to accessing the UI. The control pad or the keyboard are used together to make selections in the UI to set up and operate the unit. The USB mouse provides a convenient method to navigate the setup and conﬁguration menus.

The DVR5100 provides three USB ports: one USB port on the front panel and two USB ports on the rear panel. Any of the USB ports can be used to connect a USB PC keyboard and mouse to the DVR5100.

To connect a keyboard and mouse to the DVR5100:

1. Connect the USB mouse to the USB port on the front panel.

2. Connect the USB PC keyboard into one of the USB ports on the rear panel.

Auto Login

The DVR5100 comes with four pre-deﬁned user proﬁles: Administrator, Manager, Operator, and Guest. The ﬁrst time you start the DVR5100, the system automatically logs in using the admin user after 60 seconds if an operator does not select a speciﬁc user at the login screen. This feature allows the system to automatically log in as the designated user each time the DVR is rebooted (for example, after a power failure or when the unit is restarted for any purpose). You can enable or disable the feature from the System Conﬁguration screen. In addition, you can choose a speciﬁc user for subsequent log ins.

NOTE: As a security precaution, you should change the user ID for auto-login as part of the conﬁguration and setup process. Consider selecting

Guest as the default user ID or create a new user ID and password with limited access. Using a Guest user assures that system settings are not accessible inadvertently.

Table B lists the default user IDs and passwords. Figure 3 shows the login screen.

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 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.

NOTES:

The default setting for the DVR5100 frame rate was formerly Low 30/25, EnduraStor not enabled.

The default setting for the DVR5100 frame rates is now Low 1 image/second, EnduraStor enabled after 12 hours.

Remote Client

The DVR5100 Remote Client has the following new features:

• Digital Zoom Controls

• Synchronization in Quick Search

DIGITAL ZOOM CONTROLS

Similar to controlling PTZ on a camera, digital zoom controls let you zoom in on speciﬁc areas of the video that you are viewing. Digital zoom controls work on any video, not just on video recorded on a camera that supports PTZ functions. This feature is also available while viewing exported video with the Endura Player. To use digital zoom controls, you must be viewing video from a camera in single view (1 x 1).

About the DVR5100 Series Digital Video Recorder

The DVR5100 Series digital video recorder (DVR) is stand-alone or Endura-enabled, high-performance 4, 8, or 16 channel DVR. The DVR5100 combines superior forensic functions, easy-to-use interfaces, and video recording performance previously reserved for extremely high-end systems. Digital video recorders designed for forensic applications must record video at high resolutions to capture exceptional detail and quality required for investigative work. The DVR5100 captures video at up to 704 x 480 pixels (NTSC) or 704 x 576 pixels (PAL) at 30 ips (NTSC) or 25 ips (PAL), providing the investigator with essential details.

The DVR5100’s remarkable performance is enhanced by the use of the EnduraStor™ storage optimization technology. EnduraStor allows video recorded at higher frame rates to be reduced to 2 ips after a predetermined period of time, saving valuable hard disk drive space. EnduraStor, combined with powerful motion detection capabilities and programmable recording schedules, allows the user to customize the performance of the DVR5100 and optimize the required storage capacity.

A user-supplied USB keyboard can be connected to a DVR5100 USB port to configure the DVR5100 settings quickly and easily. Convenient front panel controls with integrated joystick, jog, and shuttle, combined with an intuitive and simple graphical user interface (GUI), make using the DVR easy and effortless. The front panel controls allow operation of Pelco PTZ cameras through Coaxitron single-key export feature simplifies the exporting of video.

Flexible view options allow users to optimize the DVR for their particular application requirements. Video can be displayed on NTSC/PAL composite, NTSC/PAL S-video, or VGA monitors. The main monitor can display one, four, nine, or sixteen images. Live and playback video can be combined on the same screen. In addition, a programmable spot monitor provides a sequencing display on a composite monitor.

The DVR5100 uses Internet Protocol-based networking for remote accessibility and control of the DVR. All connections are made over a secure and encrypted VPN session. For local area networks, the DVR5100’s 1 gigabit network port supports its impressive performance.

With a maximum recording speed of 30 images (NTSC) or 25 images (PAL) per camera per second at 4CIF resolution, the DVR5100 shatters previous performance marks and establishes the best value in the industry for forensic digital video recorders. The combination of enterprise class recording capabilities, ample internal storage, remote accessibility, and the reliability and assurance found in Pelco products makes this the ideal DVR for unmanaged video surveillance applications typical of the retail, banking, education, and medical industries.

Using Patterns, Presets, and Scans

With the DVR5100 you can activate patterns, presets, and scans. A pattern is a user-defined, viewable camera path with a beginning and end. The number and duration of patterns varies with different positioning systems. A preset action forces a camera with PTZ capability (pan, tilt, and zoom) to reposition itself on a specific scene, such as a door. A scan action moves a camera across the current scene that it is viewing from a predetermined starting point. For a description of the types of scan actions you can perform, refer to Activating Scans on page 44.

Patterns, presets and scans can be activated automatically or manually from the DVR5100. Patterns and presets must be pre-programmed from the DVR5100 Remote Client application. A user must have administrator permissions to program the movements of PTZ cameras and to automate other system activities in response to alarms or other events.

This section describes how to operate the DVR5100 to run patterns, presets, and scans and is organized into the following topics:

• Activating PTZ Patterns, below

• Stopping a Pattern on page 43

• Activating Presets on page 43

• Activating Scans on page 44

ACTIVATING PTZ PATTERNS

3. Move the joystick any direction. The pattern stops.

ACTIVATING PRESETS

A preset action forces a camera with PTZ capability (pan, tilt, and zoom) to reposition itself on a specific scene, such as a door. Preset actions are activated automatically or manually from the DVR5100. A preset action is activated automatically when an alarm occurs that triggers the preset action. For example, an alarm sounds on an exterior door to a building and the preset action is set to refocus a camera on that doorway. A manual activation of a preset occurs when an operator selects a preset command from the Actions menu. For example, an operator is viewing video from a fixed camera in a parking lot when he or she decides to refocus the camera on the doorway to get a better view of someone who is walking toward the door.

A user with administrator-level permissions must program these actions in advance. Preset actions must be programmed using the Remote Client application before they can be activated manually from the DVR5100. In addition to moving the camera to a predetermined scene, a descriptive title can appear on the video pane. The type of camera positioning system determines the number of preset actions that are available.

Your cameras might provide predefined presets. Refer to the documentation for your cameras to determine which predefined presets are available, and then enter their numbers in the instructions below when you need to run them. For example, Pelco cameras use the Preset 95 to display camera menus on a monitor.

To create preset actions, access the menu of the camera for which you want to create a preset action. Refer to Accessing Camera Menus on page 33 for more information.
