DESCRIPTION

The DX9000 Series Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is an ultrahigh-end recorder that can record images simultaneously from as
many as 40 cameras at 15 ips or from as many as 24 cameras at 30 ips. The DVR allows simultaneous viewing of live or
recorded video, in any combination, from as many as four cameras. The user can even watch three recorded streams and a live
stream from the same camera while other users on the network are accessing the same camera.

The recorder is part of the DX9000 system that also includes video storage units for saving video images and ViewStations for
observing video.

When multiple DX9000 recorders and ViewStations are linked to each other through a LAN (local area network) or WAN (wide
area network), literally thousands of cameras can be recorded and viewed at the same time.

READ BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION

It is important that the equipment be installed in the proper sequence. Get the manuals for all three types of equipment.
Keep the manuals together because you will have to go back and forth between the manuals as you install the equipment.

Follow these steps for a successful installation of your system:

RECORDERS AND VIDEO STORAGE UNITS

in a logical order.

1. Place the recorders on a flat surface or mount them in an equipment rack.

2. Connect cameras, monitor (not supplied), keyboard, and mouse to each recorder.

3. Place the video storage units on a flat surface or mount them in an equipment rack.

4. Connect the storage units to the recorders.

5. Turn on power to the video storage units, and then turn on the recorder.

6. Configure the operation of the recorders, and then connect the recorders to the network. If you are not familiar with
network setup, consult a network professional.

VIEWSTATION

2. Connect monitor (not supplied), keyboard, and mouse to each ViewStation.

3. Turn on the power to the ViewStations.
