The DX8100 Series hybrid video recorder (HVR) has long-served
the professional security market with a wide variety of search tools,
the ability to view up to 72 cameras at the server, ATM/POS
recording, and more. The new hybrid recording capability in DX8100
version 2.0 offers an even more flexible and robust security recording
platform.
The DX8100D is a security-enabled product for highly regulated
markets. This model meets Defense Information Assurance
Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) standards.
Government installations that have existing DX8100 systems can
convert them to DIACAP-compliant systems without losing
existing video.

Standard Definition IP Cameras
Efficient and Easy Analog to IP Camera Recording
The new DX8100 resource meter monitors system resources in real
time and is a useful gauge for the addition of IP cameras to the
system. New configuration tools allow you to easily configure
IP cameras. With no licensing fees for Pelco and Axis
definition network cameras, the shift to IP recording is an affordable
transition.

Flexible Storage
The DX8100 provides a variety of options for internal storage and
data redundancy needs. New 8 TB models provide increased storage
retention. New USB 2.0 JBOD (just a bunch of disks) external storage
of up to 8 TB meets cost-sensitive demands. Combined, the new
• Thumbnail, Pixel (Smart Search), and ATM/POS Search Modes
• Instant Playback
• 5 Simultaneous Connections per Server
• Scheduled Backup
• Export and Import System Configurations
• Multilevel Password and User Configuration
• Multilingual Support
storage options increase the HVR’s recording capacity to 16 TB.
Customers requiring file redundancy can select from a range of
RAID 5 options up to 24 TB of external storage.
Increased Flexibility and Interconnectivity
With DS ControlPoint software, the DX8100 can connect to a
Digital Sentry® system and other DX Series HVRs/DVRs.
DS ControlPoint operators can simultaneously view and playback
analog video and control cameras from any DX4500, DX4600,
DX8000, or DX8100. Operators can also view and playback analog
and IP video, while controlling cameras from any Digital Sentry
system.
Adaptable Viewing
The DX8100’s unique server dual display capability allows
simultaneous viewing of up to 72 cameras. Up to four extended
composite monitors can function as public view monitors. The
DX8100 favorites feature lets users quickly recall any combination
of camera and views for easy camera navigation. These extensive
selections make the DX8100 adaptable for complete surveillance
viewing.

System Health Check Monitoring
DX8100 provides a quick view of critical unit operating status. When
an operating limit is exceeded, an alert appears on the server and
connected remote clients. System health check monitoring helps
ensure maximum system uptime and DX8100 availability.
Application and System Integration
DX8100 flexibility and expendability is accomplished through
published and well-documented APIs. For information about the Pelco
developer program, visit our Web site at www.pelco.com.

Extensive Networking Options
DX8100 networks can grow as security requirements expand. A unit
can operate as part of a network of as many as five DX8100s and
DX8000s. This gives the HVR operator the ability to view and control
up to 180 cameras. The remote client can administer DX8100
servers, and it can simultaneously control and operate up to
36 cameras connected to any of 200 DX8100 and DX8000
HVR/DVRs. The remote client application, EmergencyAgent, and
DX8100 Viewer are included at no extra cost. These applications
can be installed on an unlimited number of client workstations.

PELCO IP CAMERA RESOURCE USAGE
The available recording resources of the DX8100 is determined by the
resolution and bit rate of the attached cameras. For example, a DX8108 with
eight analog cameras recording at CIF/30 ips supports up to eleven
IP110 cameras recording at CIF/15 ips.

MODEL NUMBERS
Use the following table to create a model number to specify your DX8100.
For example, the model number for a 32-channel system with 1000 GB
storage and audio option is DX8132-1000A. The model number for a DIACAP
32-channel system with 1000 GB storage, MUX, and audio options is
DX8132-1000DMA.
Note: When a MUX or audio option is ordered, the MUX or audio option will
have the same number of channels as the unit.
