Digital Sentry® DSSRV2 Network Video Recorder
H.264 CAPABILITY, FULLY SCALABLE HARDWARE/SOFTWARE SOLUTION
Product Features
• Increased data rate of up to 350 Mbps (RAID) or 300 Mbps (JBOD)
total throughput, allowing the server to support more users and play
back more cameras simultaneously than previous DSSRV models

models at no additional cost; systems previously utilizing two or
more servers can now be built on a single server
• SSD system drive, with increased read-write speeds and no moving
parts, increases overall system responsiveness and reliability
• Supports up to 128 IP Camera Streams; up to 64 Analog Cameras*
• Records H.264, MJPEG, and MPEG-4 IP Streams
• Supports Pelco and Third-Party IP Cameras and Network Encoders
• Compatible with DS ControlPoint for Simultaneous Monitoring of All
DS Series and DX Series Products in a Single Client Interface
• Network Health and Event Monitoring Support Through SNMP and
New Digital Sentry
®
System Information (DSSI) Utility
• Compatible with the DS Archive Utility
• Recording Rate Configurable per Individual Camera
• VideoXpert Ready. Migrate to VideoXpert, bringing your products

Optimized For Video Surveillance
The Digital Sentry® Network Video Recorder (DSSRV2 NVR) is
optimized 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 4th Generation Intel® Xeon™ processor and 8 GB of
RAM, DSSRV2 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 ENC5516 direct-attached encoder. Analog
streams are also supported using Pelco and third-party encoders.
The DSSRV2 NVR boasts total throughput of up to 350 Mbps
(300 Mbps for JBOD models) for recording analog and IP video
streams as well as playback and export through the DS ControlPoint
client. The increased data rate over original DSSRV models allows
more users to play back video from the server simultaneously. 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 played back per client, and the
bandwidth required for client connections must be considered.
The DSSRV2 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.
Two gigabit network ports provide for convenient network
architecture planning by allowing one port to be dedicated to
IP cameras, while the second network port is used for client
connections. Two DisplayPorts ports provide a convenient connection
for high resolution digital monitors for use with HD cameras.
DSSRV2 models are available with DIACAP/DIARMF-ready software,
for use in secured environments implementing information assurance
security standards.
Reliability
DSSRV2 models incorporate an SSD system drive. With increased
read-write speeds and no moving parts, the SSD system drive
increases the reliability, uptime, and responsiveness of the system.
DSSRV2 systems now support 4TB drives, increasing capacity by
33% over original DSSRV models without increasing cost. With frontavailable storage drives for easy servicing and upgrades, the DSSRV2
NVR is available with up to 20 TB storage for models without the
optional optical disk drive (ODD), or up to 16 TB for ODD models. The
drives are hot-swappable when configured for internal RAID 5
storage.
External storage is supported through USB attached storage or by
using the optional DSSRV-SCSI interface card to connect to external
SCSI storage targets such as the DX8100HDDI, providing additional
storage of up to 24 TB. The external storage can be configured for
either JBOD storage or for software controlled RAID 5 storage.
*The DS NVs database is limited to 128 cameras. The actual number of
cameras the server supports depends on camera settings, client activity,
network bandwidth, and the available throughput of the DSSRV2.

IMPORTANT NOTE. PLEASE READ. The network implementation is shown as a general representation only
and is not intended to show a detailed network topology. Your actual network will differ, requiring changes or
perhaps additional network equipment to accommodate the system as illustrated. Please contact your local
Pelco representative to discuss your specific requirements.
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.
In addition, the Digital Sentry platform supports the Pelco API and a
full suite of integration tools, allowing Digital Sentry to be integrated
into access control or physical security information management
(PSIM) systems.
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
DSSRV2 NVR the core foundation of your video management
solution.
