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.

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.

Appendix C: Connecting the Optional DX8000-AUD Audio Option

The DX8000 supports audio recording capabilities with the installation of the DX8000-AUD audio expansion option. Audio inputs correspond to video inputs; therefore, an eight-channel DX8000 Series DVR can accept eight audio inputs and a sixteen-channel DVR can accept sixteen audio inputs. Audio and video inputs are conﬁgured in a one-to-one relationship. For example, audio input seven corresponds to video channel seven.

The DX8000 accepts up to 16 individual monaural audio inputs. Each input is designed to receive a line-level, analog audio signal that is sampled at a rate of 48 kHz (16 bits) by the DX8000-AUD’s digital analog converters (DAC). To minimize the amount of storage required to store audio data, the audio stream is down-sampled to 8 kHz (8 bits) for storage and playback.

IMPORTANT: Before using the audio recording features of the DX8000, consult the applicable laws regarding audio surveillance recording for your location.

SETTING UP AUDIO INPUTS

Audio input to the DX8000 is provided through an audio cable consisting of eight RCA connectors wired to a 15-pin D-sub breakout connector. The D-sub connector plugs into the rear panel of the DVR. Depending on your system’s conﬁguration, either one or two breakout cables will be required to connect the DVR to an audio system.

1. Connect the 15-pin D-sub audio breakout connector to the rear of the DVR to provide eight individual audio inputs. Refer to Figure 82.

2. Connect each of the eight RCA-type audio connectors to a line-level (+4 dB) gain audio source. Refer to Figure 83.

IMPORTANT: The DX8000-AUD option accepts an unbalanced, line-level audio signal only. Line-level signaling requires a voltage

between -1 V and +1 V into an impedance of 1 kΩ or more. This means that the output of most microphones will be too low to function

when connected directly to the DX8000’s audio inputs. In most applications, a preampliﬁer such as the Louroe Electronics ASK-4® KIT #101 will be required to boost the signal of a microphone to a level that is acceptable for input into the DX8000.

SETTING UP AUDIO OUTPUT

CRT

The DX8000 delivers a line-level monaural signal through a standard 0.125-inch phone jack on the rear panel of the DVR. It is recommended that the audio output of the DX8000 be connected to an ampliﬁer in order to boost the output signal to a level that is sufﬁcient to drive a speaker. Figure 85 illustrates an example of an audio output conﬁguration.

NOTE: Some speaker systems integrate both ampliﬁers and speakers in a single unit. Such a system can be connected directly to the audio output of the DX8000 without the need for external ampliﬁcation.

1. Connect the audio output of the DX8000 to an audio ampliﬁer.

NOTE: Use an audio cable with a 0.125-inch miniature male phone plug on one end to connect to the audio output of the DX8000. Ensure that the opposite end of the cable has the appropriate connectors for connection to your ampliﬁer.

2. Connect the audio ampliﬁer to a speaker.

Appendix E: External Storage Expansion Using DX9200HDDI

BASIC INSTALLATION

The DX9200HDDI can increase the DX8000’s storage capacity by up to 3.2 TB. The external IDE RAID is connected to the DX8000’s optional SCSI interface by a 50-pin to 68-pin SCSI cable, included with the DX9200HDDI. The DX9200HDDI option is available for DX8008-080 and DX8016-080 systems that are preconﬁgured at the factory.

IMPORTANT:

• The DX9200HDDI can be used for either ofﬂine backup storage or real-time video storage. When used as a real-time storage device,

the frame rates of each channel on the DX8000 must be set at less than or equal to 24 images per second (ips) for 16-channel DVRs and up to 30 ips for 8-channel DVRs. Setting the frame rate above 24 ips for a 16-channel DVR will result in skipped frames and signiﬁcant performance degradation.*

• To connect the DX9200HDDI to the DX8000, the optional DX8000-ISCI internal SCSI interface must be installed.

• Make sure HDDI power is turned on ﬁrst and then turn power on to the DX8000.
