DESCRIPTION

The DX2000 Series is a high quality digital video recorder (DVR) that combines the functions of a recorder and multiplexer into one unit. This means the DVR can process up to 8 cameras (DX2008) or up to 16 cameras (DX2016) simultaneously, plus the user can also view, configure, record, and play back recorded data individually for each camera. The DVR can interface with ATMs (automated teller machines) and POS (point of sale) terminals to record transaction data.

Configuration and control of the DVR are done through a PC (personal computer) attached to a LAN (local area network) or WAN (wide area network). Each DX2000 is configured with its own unique IP (internet protocol) address. Users on the network access the DVR by entering this IP address through Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.

The DX2000 uses W avelet compression to produce high resolution live viewing and playback. You can select image quality settings that range from 5 KB (low quality) to 40 KB (high quality) per image. Image rates can be selected from a range of 1 image per 64 seconds to 16 images per second (ips).

For optimized recording, you configure the quality and image rate to meet your needs. Higher quality means clearer video but consumes more disk space while low quality uses less disk space, yielding a longer storage time.

6 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

There are four types of recordings:

• Scheduled Recording This type is simply the days and times you wish to record.

• Motion Recording You set up this type to record when motion is detected on selected cameras.

The advantage of motion recording is that it lets you set a higher recording rate for better detail, but still conserves disk space. You can get clearer images when this type of recording is triggered but you do not waste disk space because the higher rate is only in effect when motion is detected.

• Event Recording and Alarm Recording These types can be triggered by a ground signal to the alarm panel located on the DVR’s rear panel. An event is a low-level alarm.

The advantage of these two recording types is similar to that for motion detection.

• Data Exception Recording You set this type to record when a data exception is encountered.

The DX2000 is a duplex unit, allowing you to simultaneously record and play back or view live. Search functions during playback allow image-by-image viewing and playback of alarm events. You can search by time and date, and by alarm, event, or motion recording.

You can buy the DX2000 from Pelco with additional storage, up to 640 gigabytes total, if extended recording time is needed.

The DVR uses proprietary compression algorithms to prevent video images from being altered and has password protection to guard against unauthorized or accidental recording or playback.

The DVR can also receive transaction data from up to four ATMs or POS terminals internally or 16 with optional DX2000DH(s). A transaction database maintained on the DX2000 allo ws transactions to be searched for specific items such as account number and clerk number.

CONNECTING ALARMS

On the rear panel of the unit are four 8-pin inputs. Every odd-numbered pin is an alarm pin while every even-numbered pin is a ground. These inputs can be configured to be N.O. (normally open), N.C. (normally closed), or supervised.

• Unsupervised relay contacts are wired as either normally open or normally closed. Unsupervised modes are easily defeated and should not be used in critical situations when security is most important.

• Supervised mode activates an alarm if the current in a line falls outside a specified range. This blocks an attempt to defeat the alarm system by cutting a wire or through bypassing or shorting a section of the circuit.

Inputs are configured via a DIP switch mounted next to the connectors, as follows:

• If switch 1 (counting from the left) is up, then alarm mode is supervised.

• If switch 1 is down, then alarm mode is unsupervised (will be N.O. or N.C.).

• If switch 2 is up, then alarm mode is normally closed (N.C.).

• If switch 2 is down, then alarm mode is normally open (N.O.).

Switch 2 is irrelevant if switch 1 is up—in supervised mode the unit does not care whether wiring is for N.O. or N.C.; it is watching for a deviation from constant current flow.

SWITCH SETTINGS

Unsupervised relay contacts are not terminated. They are wired as either normally open or normally closed. Set switch 1 down. Set switch 2 up for normally closed (N.C.) or down for normally open (N.O.). Refer to Figure 6.

Unsupervised modes are easily defeated and should not be used in critical situations when security is most important.

Supervised Alarm Input Configuration and Wiring

Supervised mode activates an alarm if the current in a line falls outside a specified range. This blocks an attempt to defeat the alarm system by cutting a wire or through bypassing or shorting a section of the circuit.

If the whole system is in supervised mode, then all inputs (including unused inputs) must be terminated with 10K resistors (not included).

• If you want the alarm contacts to be N.O., then wire the terminating resistor in parallel with the alarm contacts.

• If you want N.C., then wire the resistor in series.

ANYTHING THAT MAKES THE TRANSISTOR TURN OFF (EFFECTIVELY AN OPEN) OR CAUSES A LOW CONTROL SIGNAL RESULTS IN AN ALARM CONDITION AS POINT "A" GOES FROM 2.5V TOWARD 5V. SIMILARLY, A SHORTED CONDITION MAKES THE VIDEO DROP TOWARD 0V AND AN ALARM CONDITION.

CONNECTING POS TERMINALS AND ATMs

The DX2000 supports data input from up to 16 POS terminals or ATMs. The DVR provides options for connecting these devices using DX2000 data adapters. These optional adapters let you connect to RS-232 serial interfaces and optically isolate each device from the DX2000.

In addition, the optional DX2000DH Data Hub provides a local connection for up to seven ATM or POS devices and delivers the transaction data to the DX2000 over a single cable. Up to four data hubs can be daisy chained for connecting with devices up to several miles away.

The DX2000 data ports can also be connected directly to the Pelco PIM (personality interface module), which permits connection to POS terminals that do not have an RS-232 interface.

Refer to Figure 3. The POS terminal/ATM are numbered 1 (top) through 4 (bottom). Each port can be configured differently, allowing a number of possible combinations. The

system can support up to 16 data devices. Multiple network devices can be connected through a single port while devices with dedicated output ports can be connected directly to the four data ports or to the DX2000DH Data Hub.

The ports are defined as follows: Port 1: SUPPORTED CONNECTIONS

POS Device: COMM Port (Asynchronous) or Pelco PIM ATM: SNA (SLDC)

Port 2: SUPPORTED CONNECTIONS

POS Device: COMM Port (Asynchronous) or Pelco PIM ATM: SLDC (SNA)

Port 3: SUPPORTED CONNECTIONS

POS Device: COMM Port (Asynchronous), Pelco PIM, or DX2000 Data Hub (Supports Asynchronous RS-422 through Signal Converter)

Port 4: SUPPORTED CONNECTIONS

POS Device: COMM Port (Asynchronous), Pelco PIM, or DX2000 Data Hub (Supports Asynchronous RS-422 through Signal Converter)

24 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

POS Terminals

• Direct Connection Connect a DX2000DA9 Data Adapter to the serial communications port of the POS terminal. Attach the RJ-45 cable (supplied with each adapter) from the adapter to any of the DX2000 data ports.

• PIM Connection Connect the PIM to the POS terminal. Attach the RJ-11 cable (supplied with each PIM) from the PIM to any of the DX2000 data ports.

• PV130 RS-422 Converter Connection Connect the PV130 to the POS terminal. Attach an RJ-45 cable (not supplied) from the PV130 to data port 3 or 4 on the DX2000.

• DX2000DH Data Hub Connection Connect the POS terminals to the data hub using the DX2000DA9T Data Adapters and RJ-45 cables (supplied). Attach a straight RJ-45 cable (25 feet supplied) from the data hub output port to data port 3 or 4 on the DX2000. An additional DX2000DH is required to archive 16 alarm inputs.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 25

CONFIGURING YOUR PC

To configure your PC:

• PC Settings Turn on the PC. Change your PC’s display resolution to 1024 x 768 (if not already on this

setting), change the color to 24 or 32 bit (if not already set), change to small fonts (if not already set). You can change these by navigating through Start, Settings, Control Panel, Display Properties, Settings tab, Advanced button, and General tab on your PC.

You may need to hide the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen to see all of the DVR screen. Navigate through Start, Settings, Taskbar, and then click Auto hide.

• Dial-Up Connection If you are connecting to the DX2000 with a modem, you can access the DX2000 using

Windows Internet Explorer with a dial-up connection. The IP address when using a modem is 208.138.3.202:8004. Enter the IP address in the Address box of Internet Explorer.

You will first need to establish a new dial-up connection to the DVR’s modem in Windows. This includes identifying the DVR you are going to be dialing and entering its phone number. Include an area code if dialing outside your area code.

To use this new connection, the name and password of the modem connection must match those of the DVR. Call the modem using the new dial-up connection. Then enter the DVR’s modem IP address of 208.138.3.202:8004 in the address box of Internet Explorer. When finished with the DVR, close Inter net Explorer and then disconnect from the modem.

• Direct Connection If you are connecting your PC directly to the DX2000, you can do so using Windows

Internet Explorer and IP address 192.168.2.108:8004. (A cross-over cable is required; refer to Figure 5.)

(Note that your PC must be configured with an IP address within the same IP subnet as the DVR. Contact your network administrator for help, if needed.)

NOTE: Port 80 is the standard web service (http) port. As an added network security measure, port 8004 is the standard web service port for the DX2000. Therefore, any time you connect to the DX2000 from your browser, you must add a port designation at the end of the Internet address separated by a colon (for example, http://192.168.2.108:8004). This is true for any Internet address you choose to assign to the DX2000. Port 8004 is a fixed port number and cannot be changed.

• Network Connection If you are connecting the DX2000 to a network, the network administrator must determine

if the DX2000’s default network settings (the default IP address 192.168.2.108:8004 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0) must be changed to avoid conflicts with another device on the network. Refer to the

Changing the Default IP Address

section.

26 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

CHANGING THE DEFAULT IP ADDRESS

To change the default IP address, do the following:

1. The network administrator must assign a new IP address and subnet mask.

2. Turn on the DVR. Turn on the PC.

3. Open Internet Explorer on your PC. Type the DVR’s default IP address (192.168.2.108:8004) in the Address box and press Enter. This lets the PC access the DVR.

4. In the Enter Network Password dialog box that appears, enter the default administrative ID (admin) and password (PELCOADM). (Only the password is case sensitive.) Click Ok. The DVR displays the DVR Series screen.

5. Click the Configuration button.

6. On the menu that appears, click General Information.

7. In Network Settings, enter the new IP address. Change any other settings that require changing, such as the subnet mask and gateway. (Note that your PC must be configured with an IP address within the same IP subnet as the DVR. Contact your network administrator for help, if needed.)

8. Click the Save button. On the dialog window that appears, click Ok. The program auto- matically reboots, after which your IP address is now changed (along with other settings you changed).

9. Wait until the DX2000 reboots, and then enter the new IP address to access the unit.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 27

You control the DVR through a PC. There are two levels of access to the DVR: user and administrative. The user level provides access to the DVR for viewing live and recorded images. The administrative level allows full access, including configuration capability.

The logon passwords are set through configuration. With a brand new DX2000 or with a unit that has been totally reset, the default administrative ID is admin and the default administrative password is PELCOADM. The default user ID is user and the default user password is PELCO. Only the password is case sensitive. If your network administrator has changed the user or administrative IDs, passwords, or the IP address, you will need to get this information.

1. On your PC, call up Internet Explorer. Then, type the DVR’s IP address in the Address box and press Enter. The Enter Network Password screen appears.

2. Type either a user ID and password or the administrative ID and password in the box and click the OK button. A connection with the DX2000 is established and the DX2000 Series Recorded Video screen appears (refer to Figure 9).

Figure 9. DX2000 Series Recorded Video Screen

28 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

TIP: To access multiple DVRs, save addresses in the Favorites menu. As a DX2000 user/administrator/manager you can save the IP addresses of DX2000 sites you

connect to or use in a file in the Favorites menu of your browser for future access. If you want to share those addresses with another site you can do so using the Import/Export Wizard in your Internet Explorer browser. Follow the instructions below.

1. In the browser’s File menu, click Import and Export. The Wizard welcome screen appears.

2. Click the Next button, and then highlight Export Favorites (or Import Favorites to add addresses from someone else to your Favorites folder).

3. Navigate to the folder where the DX2000 IP address locations you want to export are stored.

(You can also create subgroups that allow, for example, certain regional managers to access their DX2000s by double-clicking DX2000 and then making a selection.)

4. Select a location where you can find the file (such as the desktop) and give it a descriptive name. Click the Save button, or Cancel to abandon.

(If you are importing favorites from someone, a similar screen lets you select the file you received.)

5. Click the Finish button and the file will be saved to the location you selected (the desktop, for example). From there you can copy it and e-mail it to the Favorites folder of whomever you want.

To impor t favorites, just click Import Favorites and follow the prompts.

PROGRAMMING

Programming lets you configure camera and alarm operation, set the system date and time, and define a password (among other things). Programming activities are accomplished through the Configuration menu.

CAMERA NAMES

Figure 11. Camera Names Screen

This screen lets you give each camera a description, typically designating a viewing area such as lobby, front desk, etc. Do the following to name the cameras and designate their protocol.

1. Click the Configuration button. Click Camera Names. The Camera Names screen appears.

2. In the boxes under the Camera Name heading, enter an identifier for each of your cameras or accept the default camera number.

3. Entry is required if you are going to have Coaxitron® PTZ control. Under Coaxitron is a pull-down menu for each camera. You can select either 15 Bit (standard Coaxitron that controls only PTZ) or 32 Bit (extended Coaxitron that controls PTZ plus variable speed; used with Spectra® and Esprit®) or accept the default of None. Set all fixed cameras to None. Do this so PTZ control buttons will be dimmed and the operator will not see a PTZ cursor on the screen for a camera that cannot be moved. If you set a controllable camera to None, it will be treated as fixed and will not be allowed to PTZ.

4. Checkmark the Disable VLD boxes on cameras for which you want to disable video loss detection (VLD). This turns off their associated flashing red X indicators on the Video Mode Live screen.

Also, checkmarking a camera excludes it from the camera tour feature.

5. Click Save to save the settings or Cancel to abandon.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 31

RECORDING

There are four types of recordings:

• Scheduled Recording This type is simply the days and times you wish to record. The configuration includes halfhour increments for ever y day of the week. The DVR can record all cameras continuously or can record selected cameras at selected times. For example, you can set up different camera schedules for weekdays and weekends, at nighttime and daytime.

• Motion Recording You set up this type to record when motion is detected in selected camera views. When motion detection is triggered, a set of cameras can begin to record, go to a defined preset, or activate a relay. You can set sensitivity and motion area for each camera. You can also configure motion to be treated as a normal event or an alarm.

• Event Recording and Alarm Recording These types can be triggered by a signal to the alarm panel located on the DVR’s rear panel. An event is a low-level alarm. You can define which cameras you want to record, go to a defined preset, or trigger a relay. Alarms take highest priority—all resources are devoted to executing the commands you set.

• Data Exception Recording You set this type to record when a data exception is encountered. When an exception occurs, a set of cameras can begin to record, go to a defined preset, or activate a relay. Data exceptions are treated as a normal event.

32 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

SCHEDULED RECORDING

Figure 12. Record Schedule Screen

NOTE:

In order to maximize hard drive storage space, the DX2000 uses images from scheduled recording to display images for a transaction. To do this, you need to set scheduled recording appropriately (for example, at the right image rate, quality, etc.) and for all hours the cash register or ATM is operational.

Or, if scheduled recording is not desired, you can enable a blank exception (refer to the

Exceptions

section) and program it for exception recording. This will record images automati-

Data

cally during any transaction. If scheduled recording is used for regular transactions, exception recording can be at an

increased speed and/or quality. If exception recording is used, all transactions are recorded at the same speed and quality.

Use the Record Schedule screen to set the times and days of the week that recording will be in effect. To do so:

1. Click the Configuration button. Click Record Schedule. The screen (refer to Figure 12)

that appears displays seven days, each broken into half-hour segments.

2. Do the following to program individual time segments or go to step 3 to program a block of

time segments. a. To select an individual time segment, check mark the segment under the appropriate

day.

b. Double-click the bar to the right of a check-marked time. The program displays the

Set Camera screen (refer to Figure 13).

c. Go to step 4.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 33

Figure 13. Set Camera Screen

3. Do the following to select a range of time segments:

a. Checkmark the starting time, hold down the Shift key, and then checkmark the ending

time. The block changes color.

b. Click the bar to the right of the check-marked starting time, hold down the Shift key,

and then click the ending time’s bar. The block changes color.

c. Click one of the bars in the marked block. The program displays the Set Camera

screen (refer to Figure 13).

4. On the Set Camera screen (refer to Figure 13), checkmark boxes of the cameras you wish

to turn on for the selected time period.

34 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

5. Under Record Rate, use the pull-down menu to select the camera’s recording rate, which

ranges from 1 image every 64 seconds through 16 images per second (IPS). You can have a total of 16 IPS for all cameras at any instant.

The higher the image rate, the closer to real time and the more hard disk storage is needed per day. Use the Images/Sec Usage bar to help determine the appropriate image rate.

The objective in setting the image record rate (as well as record quality, see below) is to store acceptable images that show enough detail to accomplish the user’s goal. These settings can vary widely depending on the goal.

For example, if the user’s intention is to obtain images in order to catch a criminal during a robbery, high quality images at a high image rate are needed. If all the user wants to do is differentiate employee 1 from employee 2 for internal loss prevention purposes, slower image rates and lower quality images are sufficient and save valuable hard disk space.

6. Under Record Quality, use the pull-down menu to select the recording quality (0 is lowest

setting, 8 is highest). This setting determines the approximate number of kilobytes (KB) per image.

Quality Lower Size (KB) Upper Limit (KB)

0 4.0 5.0 1 5.6 7.0 2 8.0 10.0 3 10.4 13.0 4 12.8 16.0 5 16.0 20.0 6 20.0 25.0 7 24.0 30.0 8 32.0 40.0

High quality settings consume disk space quickly. A setting of 2-6 is recommended for normal use. Refer to Tables A, B, and D to help decide what setting to enter.

Look at each camera in the quality setting you have chosen to ensure it is appropriate for the intended use. Quality settings that are too low might not give you the necessary video quality while settings higher than necessary will increase the amount of hard drive space needed.

The easiest way to check quality settings is to connect in live mode and view the appropriate camera with the quality setting you have chosen. This will also display the approximate file size for those images. Compare the file size to the table above and to Tables A, B, and D to make sure your hard disk calculations are correct.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 35

7. Under Cam. Command, use the pull-down menu to select None, Go Preset (send the camera to the presets), or Run Pattern (activate a pattern). You set patterns and presets in live video.

This feature lets you change Spectra or Esprit positions in half-hour increments. The DVR will process this command continuously during the half hour. While both Spectra and Esprit incorporate this feature as a home position, the DX2000 lets you select different positions depending on the time of day.

For example, during the day you want the outside corner mount PTZ camera to look at the front parking lot, but at night it should cover the loading dock at the side of the building or run a pattern between both areas.

8. Under Value, use the pull-down menu to select the number of the preset or pattern to run.

9. Toggle the check mark in the Off boxes to turn on or off relay 1 and 2, and enter in the Duration boxes the number of seconds to keep them on.

10. Click Save to save the values or Cancel to abandon the changes. (The program will ask you to verify a save at the time you select another item to configure.)

36 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

Deselecting a Recording Time

To deselect an individual time segment or range of segments, do the following:

1. Click the Configuration button. Click Record Schedule. The screen (refer to Figure 12) that appears displays seven days, each broken into half-hour segments.

2. Do one of the following:

•To deselect an individual time segment, just click the box to remove the check mark.

•To deselect a range, click the check mark box for the starting time segment, hold

down the Shift and Ctrl keys, and then click the check mark box for the ending time segment.

which ranges from 1 image every 64 seconds through 16 images per second (IPS). You can have a total of 16 IPS.

The higher the image rate, the closer to real time and the more hard disk storage is needed per day. Use the Images/Sec Usage bar to help determine the appropriate image rate.

c. Under Record Quality, use the pull-down menu to select the recording quality (0 is

lowest setting, 8 is highest). This setting determines the number of kilobytes (KB) per image.

Quality Lower Size (KB) Upper Limit (KB)

0 4.0 5.0 1 5.6 7.0 2 8.0 10.0 3 10.4 13.0 4 12.8 16.0 5 16.0 20.0 6 20.0 25.0 7 24.0 30.0 8 32.0 40.0

High quality settings consume disk space quickly. A setting of 2-6 is recommended for normal use. Refer to Tables A, B, and D to help decide what setting to enter.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 39

Look at each camera in the quality setting you have chosen to ensure it is appropriate for the intended use. Quality settings that are too low might not accomplish your goal while settings higher than necessary will increase the amount of hard drive space needed.

The easiest way to check quality settings is to connect in live mode and view the appropriate camera with the quality setting you have chosen. This will also display the approximate file size for those images. Compare the file size to the table under step 4c. and to Tables A, B, and D to make sure your hard disk calculations are correct.

d. Under Cam. Command, if desired use the pull-down menu to select None, Go

Preset (send the camera to the presets), or Run Pattern (activate a pattern). You set patterns and presets in live video.

NOTE:

Running a pattern or preset will itself cause motion.

e. Under Value, if desired use the pull-down menu to select the number of the preset or

pattern to run.

f. Click the Save button. The program returns you to the Record On Motion Detection

screen.

5. Use the Duration up/down arrows to set the number of seconds to record following an

event.

6. Use the Priority pull-down menu to pick either event or alarm as the recording priority.

Events will interleave (intersperse) pictures by reducing the image rate (if necessary) from lower priority recordings, such as scheduled recording. Alarms take absolute priority over all other recording types.

7. Click the Configuration button for a selected camera.

40 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

8. If you want to save the changes to the DVR, click the Yes button. The program displays the picture for that camera (Figure 15).

Figure 15. Motion Selection Screen

The entire picture is active for motion detection (the default is All mask OFF). a. Position the cursor in the picture where you want to deactivate motion recording, and

then click. A darker square appears on the picture. Motion in the darker squares will not trigger recording. Repeat as desired. You can remove a dark square by clicking on it.

You can deactivate all squares by clicking on the All mask ON button. You can also activate all bright squares by clicking on the All mask OFF button.

You can activate a group of squares by holding down the mouse button and slowly dragging.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 41

b. Click the Dwell time check-mark box to activate a dwell factor. When the box is left

blank, a block of pixels is compared to the same block of pixels in every other image to detect motion. When the box has a check mark, the block of pixels is compared to the same block of pixels in every fourth image (doubling the time between reference points). This is useful for detecting slower motion.

c. Set sensitivity using the on-screen slide control. Sensitivity determines how much

difference in the same area (square) of two consecutive images will trigger motion detection recording. Sensitivity quantifies the amount of average video level change needed to call it motion. A higher setting (more sensitive) means that a small change will trigger recording.

Make sure to set sensitivity for both day and night conditions, if possible. Sensitivity set too high might trigger on the noise created from a camera during low-light conditions. Watch the screen and have a second person test walk the area using the type of motion you want captured. The screen will show squares when motion is detected. Adjust the sensitivity as needed.

d. Use the Threshold box to specify how many total blocks of pixels in two or four

(depending on dwell) consecutive images must change to trigger motion detection recording. Start with a low number and go up from there (3-10 is recommended).

e. Click the Done button when finished.

The program returns to the Record On Motion Detection screen.

9. Repeat steps 5-8 for any remaining cameras you have enabled.

10. Click Save to save the values or Cancel to abandon the changes. Select another menu item to exit.

EVENT AND ALARM RECORDING

Use the Record On Events & Alarms screen to program event and alarm recording. An event might be something ordinary you want recorded; for example, a storeroom door

opening during business hours. An alar m, however, is more serious; for example, a storeroom door opened after hours or a panic button pressed.

NOTE:

When a set alarm is activated, all resources are dedicated to performing alarm functions. Event, motion, and scheduled recording are disabled while an alarm is activated. The priority in recording is contact alarm (highest), motion alarm, contact event, motion event, scheduled recording. Contact event and motion event recording are interleaved with scheduled recording (that is, motion or event images are alternated with the scheduled images). Contact alarm and motion alarm recording, however, interrupts the scheduled recording and takes over completely.

When an alarm is triggered, there is no indication on the viewing monitor.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 43

Remember the following when programming alarms:

• When two alarms are activated, the last alarm to turn on is the one that will be recorded.

The system is designed to begin recording the second alarm and stop recording the first alarm even before the first alarm’s duration time expires. There is a reason for this.

For example, after a break-in occurs at the front door of an office, there is no more need to record that door. Instead, the system’s resources are concentrated on the next area the person enters. In effect, the system follows someone through the building via alarms. However, if the customer wants, he can program more than one camera to record and still get coverage in multiple areas.

• Momentary-triggered contacts turn on only when they go from off to on. Latch-triggered

contacts and all other events continuously turn on so long as their triggers are active. (Momentary and latch are further defined in step 5 that follows.)

For example, if two latch alar ms are activated, then the second takes priority. However, if you have motion or latch alarms active and a momentary alarm is activated, then the momentary alarm will be ignored.

44 Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

Do the following to program event and alarm recording:

1. Click the Configuration button. Click Record On Events & Alarms. The Record On

Events & Alarms screen appears.

Figure 16. Record On Events & Alarms Screen

2. In the boxes under the Contact Name, enter names to identify the contacts (alarms).

3. Checkmark the Enable boxes of the contacts you want turned on.

4. Checkmark either the Event or Alarm boxes to designate the type of contact. Removing

the check mark in an event box places a check mark in the corresponding alarm box, and vice versa.

An event is a lower-level alarm that has the second highest recording priority. It might be something ordinary you want recorded; for example, a storeroom door opening during business hours. An alarm, however, is more serious; for example, an outside door opening during the night.

5. Checkmark either the Mom (Momentary) or Latch boxes to designate how the alarm

contact is handled. Removing the check mark in a momentary box places a check mark in the corresponding latch box, and vice versa.

(With momentary, an alarm happens only while the contact is at the transition point between closed and open. For example, if a door opens, the alarm would be activated for just a moment and alarm recording would last only for as long as the duration setting dictates. With latch, an alarm always happens when the contact is opened. For example, if a door opens, the alarm would be on while the door is open. Both the alarm and alarm recording would continue until the door closes and duration expires.)

6. Under the Duration heading, use the up/down arrows to select the number of seconds

that recording will continue.

Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04) 45

7. Click Set Camera to select the camera that will record the contact and to set camera

values for the recording. The program displays the Set Camera screen. Refer to Figure 13. Having a selection of multiple cameras can be important during alarm recording. For

example, during a bank robbery, cashier 2 triggers the robbery button. You want to record high-quality images from the camera that only covers cashier 2, but also want images from the general surveillance camera that covers the entire inside of the bank as well as exit cameras on the front and back doors. For this example you could program the system for 4 images per second (IPS) for the cashier 2 camera and 2 IPS each for the other three.

8. On the Set Camera screen, do the following:

a. Click to checkmark the camera(s) you want to turn on. b. Under Record Rate, use the pull-down menu to select the camera’s recording rate,

which ranges from 1 image every 64 seconds through 16 images per second (IPS). You can have a total of 16 IPS for all cameras at any instant.

The higher the image rate, the closer to real time and the more hard disk storage is needed per day. Use the Images/Sec Usage bar to help determine the appropriate image rate.

The objective in setting the image record rate (as well as record quality; see step 8.c) is to store acceptable images that show enough detail to accomplish the user’s goal. These settings can vary widely depending on the goal.

c. Under Record Quality, use the pull-down menu to select the recording quality (0 is

lowest setting, 8 is highest). This setting determines the number of kilobytes (KB) per image.

Quality Lower Size (KB) Upper Limit (KB)

0 4.0 5.0 1 5.6 7.0 2 8.0 10.0 3 10.4 13.0 4 12.8 16.0 5 16.0 20.0 6 20.0 25.0 7 24.0 30.0 8 32.0 40.0

High quality settings consume disk space quickly. A setting of 2-6 (default is 8) is recommended for normal use. Refer to Tables A, B, and D to help decide what setting to enter.

DATA EXCEPTION RECORDING

Figure 17. Record On Data Exceptions Screen

Use this screen to set the video values for recording triggered by data exceptions.

NOTE:

The data exceptions also must be defined. Refer to the Data Exceptions section for

instructions. Note also that in order to maximize hard drive storage space, the DX2000 uses images from

scheduled recording to display images for a transaction. To do this, you need to set scheduled recording appropriately (for example, at the right image rate, quality, etc.) and for all hours the cash register or ATM is operational.

Or, if scheduled recording is not desired, you can enable a blank exception (refer to the

Exceptions

section) and program it for exception recording. This will record images automati-

Data

cally during any transaction. If scheduled recording is used for regular transactions, exception recording can be at an

increased speed and/or quality. If exception recording is used, all transactions are recorded at the same speed and quality.

Do the following to set the video values for data exception recording:

1. Click the Configuration button. Click Record On Data Exceptions. The Record On Data

Exceptions screen appears.

2. Under the Enable heading, checkmark the boxes for the devices from which you want to

record data exceptions.

DISK SPACE ESTIMATE CALCULATION

The following calculations take into account that you may want different settings for the different disk partitions: scheduled, motion, event, and alarm.

The following table shows lower/upper boundaries of file size for the DX2000 quality settings.

Table C. Quality and File Size

Quality Lower Size (KB) Upper Limit (KB)

0 4.0 5.0 1 5.6 7.0 2 8.0 10.0 3 10.4 13.0 4 12.8 16.0 5 16.0 20.0 6 20.0 25.0 7 24.0 30.0 8 32.0 40.0

The formulas for calculating hard disk space for the different par titions are as follows:

• Scheduled

Image size in KB x Images per second x Hours per day x 0.0036 = GB (gigabytes) per day

• Motion, Event, Alarm

(Image size in KB x Images per event x Events per day) ÷ 1,000,000 = GB per day

The following table is an example of how the calculations work:

PICTURE QUALITY

CAMERA CONTROLS

These three pull-down menus appear in the left lower corner of the live video screen. They change the camera video for the current and any subsequent user. The left-most is for gain and controls contrast, the middle one controls brightness, and the one on the right is chroma and controls color. You can make these settings for each individual camera.

To change the settings, click the camera to be adjusted and then use the pull-down menus. (Before adjusting, verify all terminations.)

Once adjusted by the installer, the settings should not be changed. Only the administrator is able to change these settings. However, even the administrator should not tamper with these settings unless absolutely necessary.

MONITOR CONTROLS

There are three slide controls you can access to control brightness, contrast, and gamma correction. They change the picture only on the monitor you are viewing and they do not affect recording. There is also a reset button to restore the picture to its original settings if you do not like the changes you have made.

The controls are normally hidden. They appear below the live or recorded picture when you click the half black/half white circle icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Click the icon again to hide the controls.

The three slide controls will not work unless the XDVX Control file on y our PC is deleted. To do so:

VIDEO LOSS INDICATORS

Flashing Xs next to the camera names mean the DVR is not getting signals from those cameras. This is an indicator only; the program takes no action when video loss is detected. There can be a delay of up to one minute from the time of video loss to when the red X (which is the only indicator) is displayed.

You can disable this feature by clicking the Disable VLD (video loss detection) box on the Camera Names screen.

INFORMATION BOXES

Arrayed across the bottom of the screen are a series of small information boxes.

• Starting from the left, the first box shows the state of the viewing PC (buffer mode/file

mode). Refer to the

• The second identifies the unit’s IP address (useful when you have multiple DVRs).

• The third is an image counter (useful in big files with a large number of images).

Note that on playback of recordings, the DVR makes use of a buffer in the viewing PC’s memory. This buffer can hold up to 100 images and begins to fill when you play recordings from the DVR or PC hard drive.

When you play a recording forward, the program keeps retrieving images from the DVR or PC—the buffer is not a factor. However, in playing backward, you can only go back as far as what is in the buffer (100 images maximum). For example, if you played forward 60 images, then you can only play backward 60 images. If you played forward 180 images, you can only play backward 100 images. Initially, you can only view forward until the information is in the buffer; then you can view frame-by-frame and in reverse.

The buffer empties any time you make a switch, such as switching cameras or switching from viewing a recording to viewing live.

VIEWING RECORDED VIDEO

PLAYBACK CONTROL BUTTONS

It is important to understand how the DVR plays back recordings. On playback, the DVR makes use of a buffer in the viewing PC’s memory. The buffer can hold up to 100 images and begins to fill when you play recordings from the DVR or PC hard drive. It empties with any switch (for example, switching cameras or switching from viewing a recording to viewing live).

Initially, you can only view forward until the infor mation is in the buffer; then you can view frame-by-frame and in reverse.

The playback control buttons function as follows:

This button moves the display to the first (oldest) image in the buffer portion of the PC’s memory.

This button plays the images in the buffer in reverse (up to 100). This button reverses the display in the buffer one image at a time (up to 100 images). This button pauses the display. This button stops the display. This button advances the display one image at a time. This button plays the video forward. This button displays the last (newest) image in the buffer. This button controls the speed at which the recording plays. When you click this button,

speed changes and the program displays a slide control used to increase/decrease the play speed.

PLAYBACK FOLLOWING TIME CHANGES

The DVR uses the time and date to index video on the hard disk 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 29 shows what happens when you set the hour back from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m., such as during the fall changeover from Daylight Saving Time. 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 dur ing this overlapping time, you must start playback before 1 a.m.; then the recorder will play both hours between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m.
