OPTIMIZED FOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
The Digital Sentry® Network Video Recorder (DSSRV 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 2nd Generation Intel
RAM, DSSRV 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 DSSRV 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 DSSRV 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 network 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
DSSRV 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 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 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 DSSRV NVR provide 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.
*The DS NVs database is limited to 128 cameras. The actual number of
cameras that can be supported is dependent on camera settings, client
connections and activity, network bandwidth, and the available
throughput of the DSSRV NVR.

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 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
DSSRV NVR the core foundation of your video management solution.
