A fully featured and fully affordable entry-level digital video recorder
(DVR), the
DX4500/DX4600
Series is the next generation in DVRs.
Equipped with an embedded operating system, it offers camera
capacity, features, and functionality exceeding other DVRs. The
DX4500/DX4600
is designed for the entry-level market that requires
8 or 16 camera inputs; greater internal hard drive storage capacity;
fast frame rate recording; and powerful playback, search, and export
capability. The
DX4500/DX4600
not only replaces the traditional
VCR and multiplexer combination, but it also offers the benefits
derived from the latest in digital video processing.
Designed to work with today’s broadband networks, the
DX4600
uses MPEG-4 compression, allowing you to view and control
DX4500/
the DVR across local or wide area networks. Recording at resolutions
of up to 704 x 480 (4CIF), the
DX4500/DX4600
captures crystal clear
pictures, creating effective footage for later use and retrieval.
Imported video is easily reviewed using the export player. Each DVR
input channel can be configured individually to meet a specific
security application requirement for video retention. Video critical to
investigation and archiving is easily exported to a USB memory
device or to an optional CD-RW or DVD±RW device.
Operation of the unit is made easy through the front panel, remote
control keypad, or mouse. The
live viewing and video playback for a maximum of sixteen
DX4500/DX4600
remote client allows
DX4000
series servers simultaneously. This display can consist of multiple
DX4500/DX4600
servers and one
DX4004
server. User-configurable
disk partitioning is used to allocate specific hard disk space for storing
continuous video data, and event-initiated video data. The retention
time can be different for retaining continuous recorded video, and
event-initiated recorded video.
For surveillance applications requiring PTZ capability, the
DX4600
addresses and controls pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) equipment such
as Spectra
®
domes and Esprit® positioning systems, or third-party
DX4500/
cameras. With the ability to trigger recording and in response to
events (such as alarm inputs, motion detection, and video loss), the
DX4500/DX4600
Series becomes an automated monitoring engine
as well.
The
DX4500/DX4600
video outputs provide for efficient control and
effective deterrence. The choice of VGA or composite main monitor
output provides flexibility for the user. The main monitor output can
be adjusted to display one, four, nine, or sixteen cameras, or it can be
adjusted for a custom display. The
DX4500/DX4600’s
spot monitor
output can be used for public viewing or alarm call-up.
The
DX4500/DX4600
is designed to deliver robust and reliable
performance for security professionals. From the incorporation of
watermarking technology to prevent alterations to captured video, to
the ability to capture log entries, to the inclusion of Pelco’s world
renowned customer service promise, the
DX4500/DX4600
embodies
the ideal entry-level DVR to protect people and assets.
