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.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
AVIS:
RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE.
NE PAS OUVRIR.
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.

in the
ALARM OUTPUT MENU
The ALARM output on the rear panel is a single-pole, normally open, latching, dry contact.
This output can be used to notify you if there has been an alarm event that might require
review. The alarm output can be enabled or disabled (armed/disarmed) manually, or it can
be programmed to enable (arm) or disable (disarm) at the same time automatically every
day.
If the output is enabled and an alarm input is activated, the output relay will latch closed after a 20-second delay and will remain closed until it is manually disabled. The 20-second
delay allows you to enter your premises and disable the alarm output before it is activated.
The alarm output menu is used to set up automatic arming and disarming of the relay at
specified times each day. (For manual operation, refer to
the
Operation
capabilities of the DX1000 to notify you that an alarm event was recorded.
Application example:
A company has a rear door that is not to be opened for any reason between 5 p.m. and 7
a.m. During the day, the area around this door is recorded continuously, but to conserve
disk space, the area is only recorded at night if the door is opened. The owner does not
want to review the video unless the door was opened after hours.
In this case, the alarm output would be programmed to enable at 5 p.m. and disable at 7 a.m.
The DX1000 would also be programmed for automatic (continuous) recording from 7 a.m. to
5 p.m. and event recording from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. (refer to
section).
At 5 p.m. continuous recording would cease. If an alarm input is activated, the DVR would
immediately begin recording the associated camera. The relay would latch closed after the
20-second delay. When the owner returned in the morning, a light attached to the relay
output would be on, indicating that there was an alarm during the night. A search for recorded video starting at 5 p.m. would immediately take you to the first alarm event. All
other events could be reviewed in sequence.

TIME MENU
The DVR uses the time and date to index video on the hard disk drive so you can find it
later. Changing the time can cause the DVR to work improperly when you try to play back
video. If you set the hour ahead, this is not a problem. But if you set the hour back, there
will be more than one recording at the same time. Therefore, you should refrain from making frequent changes as this will complicate searching by time and date. For more information, refer to

AUTOMATIC SCHEDULED RECORDING
Scheduled recording allows you to program the DVR to turn on and off at specified times
each day. This way you record only when you need to and can conserve hard disk drive
space. When the hard disk drive is full, the DVR starts to overwrite the oldest data. Refer to
Table C to determine approximately how much data can be stored on the hard disk drive
and when you should back up your data.

Programming
section to set the start and stop times for recording.
AUTOMATIC EVENT RECORDING
Event recording allows you to program the DVR to record only when an alarm input is activated. The DVR will record for as long as the alarm input is active. After the alarm goes
away, the DVR will continue to record for the programmed time. Event recording allows you
to conserve even more hard disk drive space than scheduled recording. When the hard
disk drive is full, the DVR starts to overwrite the oldest data. Refer to Table C to determine
approximately how much data can be stored on the hard disk drive and when you should
back up your data.
Refer to

RECORDING EXAMPLE
A company has a rear door that is not to be opened for any reason between 5 p.m. and 7
a.m. During the day, the area around this door is recorded continuously (scheduled recording), but to conserve disk space, the area is only recorded at night if the door is opened
(event recording).
In this case, the recorder would be programmed for scheduled (continuous) recording from
7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and event recording from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. (refer to

SAVING VIDEO
When the hard disk drive is full, the DVR starts to overwrite the oldest data. Refer to Table

NOTE:
Turning off cameras does not save video for those cameras. All that does is
provide more disk space to record other cameras. When the hard disk drive is full, the
DVR will start overwriting the oldest video recorded.
To save video:
1. Connect a peripheral recording device, such as a VCR or video printer, to the PHOTO
PRINTER connector on the rear of the DVR.
2. Turn on the peripheral recording device. If the DVR is in the record mode, the video
also will be recorded on the peripheral device. If the DVR is in the playback mode, the
video will be recorded on the peripheral device.

The recording times in Table C depend on the file size for each recorded picture. The file
size can vary with the scene, amount of motion, and other factors. The figures in Table C
represent the average recording times and do not guarantee recording times in a particular
application.
NOTE:
Values indicating video storage capacity are estimates only. These estimates
are to be used as guidelines in determining proper hard drive requirements. Many
user selectable factors such as image quality, recording rate, image content/motion,
and video noise will all affect the total amount of video that can be stored on a hard
drive. These video storage duration estimates will vary based on actual use. These
estimates are not an implied or expressed guarantee of actual performance.

STOP PLAYBACK
To stop playback:
Press the Stop button. Playback stops and recording resumes if the DVR is programmed for
automatic recording. Live video appears on the monitor if the Preview feature is turned on.
PLAYBACK FOLLOWING TIME CHANGES
The DVR uses the time and date to index video on the hard disk drive so you can find it
later. Changing the time can cause the DVR to work improperly when you try to play back
video. If you set the hour ahead, this is not a problem. But if you set the hour back, there
will be more than one recording at the same time.
Figure 4 shows what happens when you set the hour back from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m., such as
during the October Daylight Saving Time changeover. If you try to search for video between
1 a.m. and 2 a.m., the recorder may not operate properly because there will be two hours
of recorded video during this time period. To view video during this overlapping time period,
you must start playback before 1 a.m.; then the recorder will play both hours between 1
a.m. and 2 a.m., as shown in Figure 4.
You cannot do a backward search through the overlapping time period. You can, however,
do a forward search.

ALARM OPERATI0N
When an alarm input on the rear of the DVR is triggered, two things can happen:
• The DVR will start recording.
• The alarm output relay will turn on a light or other device to alert you that there has
been an alarm.
Application example:
A company has a rear door that is not to be opened for any reason between 5 p.m. and 7
a.m. During the day, the area around this door is recorded continuously, but the area is only
recorded at night if the door is opened. The owner does not want to review the video unless
the door was opened after hours.
In this case, the alarm output relay would be programmed to enable at 5 p.m. and disable at
7 a.m. (refer to
Alarm Output Menu
be programmed for automatic (continuous) recording from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and event
(alarm) recording from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. (refer to
At 5 p.m. continuous recording would cease. If an alarm input is activated, the DVR would
immediately begin recording the associated camera. The relay would latch closed after the
20-second delay. When the owner returned in the morning, a light attached to the relay
output would be on, indicating that there was an alarm during the night. A search for recorded video starting at 5 p.m. would immediately take you to the first alarm event. All
other events could be reviewed in sequence.
ALARM RELAY OUTPUT OPERATION
Once the relay is triggered, it remains on until you manually turn it off. You can set the relay
to arm itself automatically or you can manually arm the relay.

This relay operates independently of the event (alarm) recording in the camera setup
menus. The relay does not start alarm recording. It only operates the device connected to
the ALARM connectors on the rear panel.
Arming the Relay
Automatic armament is done in the Alarm Output menu, in which you specify the hours that
the relay will operate if there is an alarm.
To manually arm the relay:
1. Press and hold the Function button. The Function Key List appears. Keep holding the
Function button.

2. Press and release the Search backward (<<) button, and then release the Function but-
ton. A 60-second countdown begins (the numbers appear on the screen) before the re-
lay is armed. This is an exit feature that allows you to leave the area without tripping the
alarm. Once the relay is armed, it remains armed until it is triggered or you disarm it.
