Additional Warnings and Cautions
IMPORTANT: Read and keep all instructions, including the Important Safety Instruction sheet that was supplied with your DVR.
CAUTION: The recorder should be installed in an air conditioned room where the temperature is maintained between 50° and 90° F (10°
and 35°C) with relative humidity not to exceed 80 percent, non condensing.
WARNING: All operating system files, applications, and utilities necessary to operate the DX8000 have been preinstalled on the unit.
Do not install or use any software, including antivirus utilities, on the DX8000 Series DVR other than those that have been installed at the
factory.
WARNING: Do not install any additional hardware on the DX8000 Series DVR other than those devices listed in the documentation
accompanying the unit. Do not remove, replace, or change any existing hardware in the DX8000 Series DVR without first consulting Pelco
technical support or an authorized Pelco service center.
IMPORTANT: When using the networking capabilities of the DX8000, Pelco recommends that each DX8000 Series DVR be connected to a
secure, private network. Do not directly connect your DVR to a public network such as the Internet.
It is recommended that the recorder be connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) capable of supplying 2A for 120 VAC power systems
or 1A for 230 VAC power systems.

customized weekday, weekend, and special event recording. The DX8000 offers users a highly intuitive and ergonomically designed interface
that provides simple and efficient access to all setup and operation functions. Backup operations are straightforward with a number of available
optical, magnetic, and network-attached media options. Overall, the DX8000 combines a feature-rich security platform with a flexible and
intuitive user interface offering an unprecedented level of functionality.
WHAT IS A DVR?
A digital video recorder (DVR) is a video recording and playback device. A DVR incorporates all
of the essential capabilities of a VCR but adds significant advantages. Like a VCR, video is
recorded from one or more cameras and stored for later playback and retrieval; however, in a
DVR, video data is recorded and stored on a hard disk instead of magnetic tape. Storing video in
this manner facilitates instant, random access to data, as opposed to sequential access
inherent to tape-based recording. This means no fast-forwarding or rewinding is necessary to
locate the data a user wants to view or export. Another key advantage over tape is decreased
maintenance. With no need to replace tapes, DVRs with hard disks can be left unattended for
extended periods of time. Since video remains in the digital domain, data is easy to store,
transport, and manipulate. Unlike analog video recordings, digital data does not suffer from a
loss in quality when copied or moved from device to device. Because DVRs rely on hard disks
instead of tape, data storage is virtually unlimited. Video data can also take advantage of
compression technology to increase the efficiency of storage media. Modern DVRs, such as the
DX8000, allow users to record, play back, and view live video simultaneously. Keeping data
digital means video can be easily backed up to a variety of storage media. It also means that
alphanumeric information, such as date, time, and transaction statistics, can be synchronously
recorded with video.

NETWORK SETUP
The DX8000 Series DVR supports remote viewing and administration in client-server and peer-to-peer configurations. The DX8000 is compatible
with the TCP/IP protocol and Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) network connection. Consult your network administrator before installing the DX8000 to
avoid possible network conflicts.
For TCP/IP access, connect the DX8000 to a 100 Mbps, switched Ethernet network. Use standard Cat5 or better UTP cable with RJ-45
connectors.
To configure the DX8000 hardware for network access:
1. Connect one end of the UTP cable to the network port on the back panel of the DX8000 as shown in Figure 9.
2. Connect the other end of the UTP cable to an available port on a standard Fast Ethernet switch.

RS-422/RS-485 COMMUNICATION PORT SETUP
The DX8000 Series DVR features four independently configurable RJ-45 communication ports. All ports are compatible with both RS-422 and RS-485
interface standards. Each port can communicate with and control a variety of PTZ devices. Examples include Pelco’s Spectra™ III dome enclosures
and Esprit® positioning systems. The example configuration illustrated in Figure 10 shows a DX8000 connected directly to up to four PTZ devices
and indirectly to up to 16 devices through Pelco’s CM9760-CDU-T code distribution unit. Figure 11 illustrates the connection of a variety of
RS-422/RS-485 compatible devices including the DX8000. This example highlights the P and D protocol data merging capability of Pelco’s
CM9760-DMR data manager.
IMPORTANT: To operate properly, devices must be compatible with either the RS-422 or RS-485 interface standards and must be able to
communicate using Pelco’s P, D, or Coaxitron® protocols.
1. Using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, connect up to four RS-422/RS-485 compatible devices to the RJ-45 connector jacks provided on
the rear panel of the unit.
NOTE: Pelco recommends using 22 or 24 gauge UTP cable. Category 5 UTP is recommended for cable runs greater than 400 feet.
2. Set the communication parameters for both the DX8000 and the PTZ device. Communication parameters are baud rate, parity (odd or even),
number of parity bits, number of data bits, and number of stop bits.
NOTE: Refer to RS-422/RS-485 Communication Port Software Configuration on page 42 for instructions on setting up your DVR’s commu-
nication parameters. Refer to the documentation included with your PTZ device for instructions on configuring its communication settings.

The DX8000 has either 8 or 16 dry contact alarm inputs, depending on your system’s configuration. Each input is programmed to function as
either a normally open or normally closed circuit.
To wire an alarm input:
1. Insert the green terminal blocks into the alarm sockets on the back panel of the recorder.
2. Connect one wire from the source device to one of the sensor input terminals 1 through 16.
3. Connect a second wire from the source device to a GND terminal.
4. Refer to the Operation/Programming manual for information on how to program the alarm inputs.

The DX8000 has either 8 or 16 relay outputs, depending on your system’s configuration. Each output is programmed to function as either a
normally open or normally closed circuit. A signal from a relay output will operate the device connected to the output.
IMPORTANT: The maximum relay power rating is 120 VAC, 0.5 A; 24 VDC, 1 A.
To wire a relay output:
1. Insert the blue terminal blocks into the relay sockets on the back panel of the recorder.
2. Connect one wire from the device to one of the relay output terminals 1 through 16.
NOTE: Relay outputs do not have to correspond numerically to alarm inputs. All sensor input and relay output actions can be linked
through programming.
3. Connect a second wire from the relay device to a GND terminal.
4. Refer to the Operation/Programming manual for information on how to program relay outputs.

LOGGING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME
To access the features of the DX8000 Series DVR, each user must log in with a valid user name and password. There are four user access levels
or groups that can be configured on the DX8000. Access levels range from the Administrator group, with the most rights and privileges, to the
Restricted group, with the least rights and privileges. Refer to the Definition of User Access Levels section of the Operation/Programming manual
for information on user group rights and permissions.
The DX8000 comes equipped with two built-in user accounts. Each time the unit is started, a default user account called “Guest” is automatically
activated. The Guest account is granted only limited access to the DX8000 and is allowed no access to system configuration utilities. A second
built-in user account, named “Admin”, provides full access to the operations and configuration features of the DX8000. To log in with the Admin
account, follow the directions below.
To log in with the Admin account:
1. Click File > User Log-in.
2. Enter Admin in the User name field and Admin in the Password field.
NOTE: User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
1. Click OK.
Figure 16. User Log-in Dialog Box
For security reasons, you are required to change the Admin password immediately after logging in for the first time. Passwords must be
between six and ten characters long and cannot include spaces or special characters. Follow the directions on the next page to change the
Admin password.
