DESCRIPTION
The DX1000 Series Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is a compact recorder that can store and
play back images from four cameras. The DVR can be placed on a shelf or desktop for easy
access to the front panel controls for operation and programming.
Live video from all four cameras can be viewed while recording. Recording can be done
continuously or for a scheduled time in a 24-hour period. Each camera has its own alarm input for alarm recording.
Two models, one with a 30 GB hard drive and the second with a 60 GB hard drive, generally allow continuous recording up to two or four weeks respectively under the most common recording conditions. Recording time will vary depending on image size, number of
cameras recorded, resolution selection, and record rate.
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within this unit.
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying this unit.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

AVIS:

Recording can be stopped at any time to play back video. Search functions during playback
allow frame-by-frame viewing, fast playback, and playback of alarm events.
The DVR uses proprietary compression algorithms to prevent alteration of the video image,
as well as password protection to guard against unauthorized or unintentional recording or
playback.

If
camera inputs are not used,
make sure Camera

on but only one camera is
connected; in this case the
video is completely washed
out.
