OPTIMIZED FOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
The new Digital Sentry
by Pelco to deliver the essential hardware support for the DS NVs
video management software (VMS) without the extra cost or risk of
integrating hardware and software.
Boosted by the 2nd Generation Intel
RAM, Digital Sentry NVR provides an optimal combination of
processing power and reliability to meet the demands of HD video
recording and playback operations. The system is powered to
support up to 128 combined IP and analog video streams, with up to
64 analog cameras supported via the optional ENC5416
direct-attached encoder. Analog streams are also supported using
Pelco and third-party encoders.
The new DS NVR delivers total available throughput of 280 Mbps for
recording of analog and IP video streams as well as playback and
export through the DS ControlPoint client. When determining the
maximum number of cameras and the desired frame rate to host on
each system, the number of concurrent client connections, the
number of streams likely to be viewed in playback on each client, and
the bandwidth required to support the client connections must be
taken into consideration.
The DS NVR functions as a stand-alone system or as part of a
network of servers, monitored from the DS ControlPoint user
interface. The system can be deployed solely as a network video
recorder, as a digital video recorder (DVR), or as a hybrid NVR.

Core™ i7 processor and 8 GB of
Two gigabit network ports provide for convenient network
architecture planning by allowing one port to be dedicated to
IP cameras, while the second nework port is used for client
connections. Two DVI-D ports provide a convenient connection for
high resolution digital monitors for use with HD cameras.
RELIABILITY
With front-available drives for easy servicing and upgrades, the DS
NVR is available with up to 18 TB for models without the optional
optical disk drive (ODD), or up to 12 TB for ODD models. The drives
are hot-swappable when configured for internal RAID 5 storage with
the optional RAID 5 controller card. A minimum of three drives is
required for a RAID 5 configuration. External storage is supported
through USB attached storage or by using the optional DSSRV-SCSI
interface card connected to DX8100HDDI storage of up to 24 TB. The
external storage can be configured for JBOD storage of software
controlled RAID 5. Internal RAID 5 storage cannot be used in
conjunction with external storage.
Front panel LED displays on the DS NVR provide heads-up
information on system operation. The LEDs are integrated with the
new Digital Sentry System Information (DSSI) utility, providing
critical, real-time statistics on system resource utilization,
temperature, and throughput status.

OPEN ARCHITECTURE
The cornerstone of Digital Sentry design, a fully Open Architecture, is
provided through ONVIF compliance and support for a large number
of IP-specific drivers. Users can choose specific IP cameras or
encoders to fit their application.

IP CAMERAS
Eliminate the risk of deferred support that comes with VMS software
from one vendor and a general purpose hardware platform from
another. Replace it with the assurance of an integrated platform built
specifically for the rigors of IP video recording. Make the
performance, reliability, and Open Architecture of DS NVs running on
DS NVR the core foundation of your video management solution.
