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.

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 SpectraIII 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 communication parameters. Refer to the documentation included with your PTZ device for instructions on configuring its communication settings.
