DESCRIPTION
The DX2000 Series is a high quality digital video recorder (DVR) that combines the functions
of a recorder and multiplexer into one unit. This means the DVR can process up to 8 cameras
(DX2008) or up to 16 cameras (DX2016) simultaneously, plus the user can also view, config-
ure, record, and play back recorded data individually for each camera. The DVR can interface
with ATMs (automated teller machines) and POS (point of sale) terminals to record transaction
data.
Configuration and control of the DVR are done through a PC (personal computer) attached to a
LAN (local area network) or WAN (wide area network). Each DX2000 is configured with its own
unique IP (internet protocol) address. Users on the network access the DVR by entering this IP
address through Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.
The DX2000 uses Wavelet compression to produce high resolution live viewing and playback.
You can select image quality settings that range from 5 KB (low quality) to 40 KB (high quality)
per image. Image rates can be selected from a range of 1 image per 64 seconds to 16
images per second (ips).
For optimized recording, you configure the quality and image rate to meet your needs. Higher
quality means clearer video but consumes more disk space while low quality uses less disk
space, yielding a longer storage time.

There are four types of recordings:
•
•
Scheduled Recording
This type is simply the days and times you wish to record.
Motion Recording
You set up this type to record when motion is detected on selected cameras.
The advantage of motion recording is that it lets you set a higher recording rate for better
detail, but still conserves disk space.You can get clearer images when this type of
recording is triggered but you do not waste disk space because the higher rate is only in
effect when motion is detected.
•
•
Event Recording and Alarm Recording
These types can be triggered by a ground signal to the alarm panel located on the DVR’s
rear panel. An event is a low-level alarm.
The advantage of these two recording types is similar to that for motion detection.
Data Exception Recording
You set this type to record when a data exception is encountered.
The DX2000 is a duplex unit, allowing you to simultaneously record and play back or view live.
Search functions during playback allow image-by-image viewing and playback of alarm events.
You can search by time and date, and by alarm, event, or motion recording.
You can buy the DX2000 from Pelco with additional storage, up to 640 gigabytes total, if
extended recording time is needed.
The DVR uses proprietary compression algorithms to prevent video images from being altered
and has password protection to guard against unauthorized or accidental recording or playback.
The DVR can also receive transaction data from up to four ATMs or POS terminals internally or
16 with optional DX2000DH(s). A transaction database maintained on the DX2000 allows
transactions to be searched for specific items such as account number and clerk number.

2. Connect the cameras. Plug standard coaxial cables (not supplied) from the cameras into
the top row of BNCs on the rear of the DVR. Camera 1 is the top left BNC. Set rear panel
DIP switch 3 to the correct position (UP=NTSC, DOWN=PAL). Set the video termination
switches to the proper setting: 75 ohms if no equipment is connected to the BNC looping
connector; HZ if equipment is connected to the BNC looping connector.
3. Connect a video monitor (if desired). The monitor will show a live camera view and will
follow the view selected on the controlling PC. Plug a standard coaxial cable (not sup-
plied) from a monitor into the MON OUT BNC on the DVR. Properly terminate (75 ohms)
at the monitor.
4. Set DIP switch 3 for NTSC/PAL operation. Set the alarm DIP switches (if desired) accord-
ing to the information in the Connecting Alarms section.
5. Connect alarms (if desired). Wiring gauge is not critical, but the maximum resistance
between alarm input and contact closure should be less than 150 ohms. Refer to the
Connecting Alarms section for detailed information.
6. Connect relays (if desired). Connect mechanisms you want to control remotely, such as a
gate or door, to relays 1 and 2 (REL 1, REL 2). Use the C (common) post and either NO
(normally open) or NC (normally closed) depending on how you want the relay to operate.
An external fuse is required to protect against currents above 1 amp.
7. Connect POS terminals and/or ATMs (if desired). Refer to the Connecting POS Terminals
and ATMs section for details.
8. Connect power. Plug one end of the appropriate supplied power cable (USA or European
standard) into the receptacle on the rear of the DVR and the other end into a power outlet.

If the PC will be communicating with the DVR through an external modem rather than
over a network, connect a Pelco DX7000EM External Modem to the DVR’s COM 1
port. Connect the modem to a phone jack. This will let you dial up the DVR to
configure the unit or view live and recorded video. Response will be a little slower
than over a network.
If connecting to a network, go to step 11.
10. Configure the PC. Refer to the Configuring Your PC section.
16
Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
11. a. Change the default network settings if necessary. Do the following:
•
Connect the PC. Connect it at the Ethernet port on the rear of the DVR using a
T568A/B cross-over shielded CAT5 cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors (not
supplied).
•
•
Refer to the Changing the Default IP Address section.
Remove the PC.
b. Connect to an Ethernet network (LAN/WAN).
IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to a network, the network administrator must deter-
mine if the DX2000’s default network settings (the default IP address 192.168.2.108:8004
and subnet mask 255.255.255.0) must be changed to avoid conflicts with another device on
the network. If they must be changed, DO NOT connect the DX2000 to the network until the
settings are changed.
If dedicating a PC exclusively to the DX2000, refer to the Configuring Your PC and Changing
the Default IP Address sections. If the network already has a PC, refer to the Changing the
Default IP Address section.
Once the DX2000’s network settings are correct, connect the DVR to a network hub
through the DVR’s Ethernet port using shielded CAT5 straight cable with shielded RJ-45
connectors (not supplied). The maximum length is 328 feet (100 meters). (Refer to Figure 5
for wire color and pin-out information.)
12. Configure the DX2000. The minimum requirements are that you must set the date and
time and either configure or disable the data ports. Do the following:
a. Turn on the DX2000 and the other equipment.
b. Access the DVR. Refer to the Login section.
c. If you are going to load a pre-saved configuration into the DX2000, do the following. If
not, skip to the next step.
Click Configuration, and then select File Utilities. In the Configuration Upload area,
select Browse. Locate the configuration file and select Open. Select Upload. The
configuration file uploads and the DX2000 automatically reboots, which may take
several minutes.
d. If you are connecting ATMs or POS devices, you must configure the data ports. Leave
unused ports disabled (the default).

CONNECTING ALARMS
On the rear panel of the unit are four 8-pin inputs. Every odd-numbered pin is an alarm pin
while every even-numbered pin is a ground. These inputs can be configured to be N.O.
(normally open), N.C. (normally closed), or supervised.
•
Unsupervised relay contacts are wired as either normally open or normally closed.
Unsupervised modes are easily defeated and should not be used in critical situations
when security is most important.
•
Supervised mode activates an alarm if the current in a line falls outside a specified range.
This blocks an attempt to defeat the alarm system by cutting a wire or through bypassing
or shorting a section of the circuit.
Inputs are configured via a DIP switch mounted next to the connectors, as follows:
•
•
•
•
If switch 1 (counting from the left) is up, then alarm mode is supervised.
If switch 1 is down, then alarm mode is unsupervised (will be N.O. or N.C.).
If switch 2 is up, then alarm mode is normally closed (N.C.).
If switch 2 is down, then alarm mode is normally open (N.O.).
Switch 2 is irrelevant if switch 1 is up—in supervised mode the unit does not care whether
wiring is for N.O. or N.C.; it is watching for a deviation from constant current flow.
Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

Unsupervised Alarm Input Configuration and Wiring
Unsupervised relay contacts are not terminated. They are wired as either normally open or
normally closed. Set switch 1 down. Set switch 2 up for normally closed (N.C.) or down for
normally open (N.O.). Refer to Figure 6.
Unsupervised modes are easily defeated and should not be used in critical situations when
security is most important.

Supervised Alarm Input Configuration and Wiring
Supervised mode activates an alarm if the current in a line falls outside a specified range. This
blocks an attempt to defeat the alarm system by cutting a wire or through bypassing or
shorting a section of the circuit.
If the whole system is in supervised mode, then all inputs (including unused inputs) must be
terminated with 10K resistors (not included).
•
•
If you want the alarm contacts to be N.O., then wire the terminating resistor in parallel with
the alarm contacts.
If you want N.C., then wire the resistor in series.
Refer to Figure 7.

IN THIS CONFIGURATION, TRANSISTOR "S" (THE SWITCH) IS BIASED FOR
CONDUCTION AND WIRED IN SERIES WITH ITS 10K COLLECTOR RESISTOR.
ALONG WITH THE INTERNAL 10K RESISTOR ON THE EQUIPMENT SIDE,
THEY FORM A VOLTAGE DIVIDER NETWORK THAT LEAVES POINT "A" AT
ABOUT 2.5V (WHICH IS MID-POINT IN THE "STAND-BY MODE" VOLTAGE
RANGE SHOWN IN THE ALARM DIAGRAM). A HIGH CONTROL SIGNAL (TTL)
GREATER THAN 50ms DURATION ACTIVATES NORMAL STAND-BY MODE.
ANYTHING THAT MAKES THE TRANSISTOR TURN OFF (EFFECTIVELY AN

CONNECTING POS TERMINALS AND ATMs
The DX2000 supports data input from up to 16 POS terminals or ATMs. The DVR provides
options for connecting these devices using DX2000 data adapters. These optional adapters let
you connect to RS-232 serial interfaces and optically isolate each device from the DX2000.
In addition, the optional DX2000DH Data Hub provides a local connection for up to seven ATM
or POS devices and delivers the transaction data to the DX2000 over a single cable. Up to four
data hubs can be daisy chained for connecting with devices up to several miles away.
The DX2000 data ports can also be connected directly to the Pelco PIM (personality interface
module), which permits connection to POS terminals that do not have an RS-232 interface.
Refer to Figure 3. The POS terminal/ATM are numbered 1 (top) through 4 (bottom).
Each port can be configured differently, allowing a number of possible combinations. The
system can support up to 16 data devices. Multiple network devices can be connected through
a single port while devices with dedicated output ports can be connected directly to the four
data ports or to the DX2000DH Data Hub.
The ports are defined as follows:
Port 1:
Port 2:
Port 3:
Port 4:

CONFIGURING YOUR PC
To configure your PC:
•
PC Settings
Turn on the PC. Change your PC’s display resolution to 1024 x 768 (if not already on this
setting), change the color to 24 or 32 bit (if not already set), change to small fonts (if not
already set).You can change these by navigating through Start, Settings, Control Panel,
Display Properties, Settings tab, Advanced button, and General tab on your PC.
You may need to hide the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen to see all of the DVR
screen. Navigate through Start, Settings, Taskbar, and then click Auto hide.
•
Dial-Up Connection
If you are connecting to the DX2000 with a modem, you can access the DX2000 using
Windows Internet Explorer with a dial-up connection. The IP address when using a
modem is 208.138.3.202:8004. Enter the IP address in the Address box of Internet
Explorer.
You will first need to establish a new dial-up connection to the DVR’s modem in Windows.
This includes identifying the DVR you are going to be dialing and entering its phone
number. Include an area code if dialing outside your area code.
To use this new connection, the name and password of the modem connection must
match those of the DVR. Call the modem using the new dial-up connection. Then enter
the DVR’s modem IP address of 208.138.3.202:8004 in the address box of Internet
Explorer. When finished with the DVR, close Internet Explorer and then disconnect from
the modem.
•
Direct Connection
If you are connecting your PC directly to the DX2000, you can do so using Windows
Internet Explorer and IP address 192.168.2.108:8004. (A cross-over cable is required;
refer to Figure 5.)
(Note that your PC must be configured with an IP address within the same IP subnet as
the DVR. Contact your network administrator for help, if needed.)
NOTE: Port 80 is the standard web service (http) port. As an added network security
measure, port 8004 is the standard web service port for the DX2000. Therefore, any time
you connect to the DX2000 from your browser, you must add a port designation at the end
of the Internet address separated by a colon (for example, http://192.168.2.108:8004).
This is true for any Internet address you choose to assign to the DX2000. Port 8004 is a
fixed port number and cannot be changed.
•
Network Connection
If you are connecting the DX2000 to a network, the network administrator must determine
if the DX2000’s default network settings (the default IP address 192.168.2.108:8004 and
subnet mask 255.255.255.0) must be changed to avoid conflicts with another device on
the network. Refer to the Changing the Default IP Address section.

PROGRAMMING
Programming lets you configure camera and alarm operation, set the system date and time,
and define a password (among other things). Programming activities are accomplished
through the Configuration menu.
CAMERA NAMES
Figure 11. Camera Names Screen
This screen lets you give each camera a description, typically designating a viewing area such
as lobby, front desk, etc. Do the following to name the cameras and designate their protocol.
1. Click the Configuration button. Click Camera Names. The Camera Names screen
appears.
2. In the boxes under the Camera Name heading, enter an identifier for each of your
cameras or accept the default camera number.
3. Entry is required if you are going to have Coaxitron® PTZ control. Under Coaxitron is a
pull-down menu for each camera. You can select either 15 Bit (standard Coaxitron that
controls only PTZ) or 32 Bit (extended Coaxitron that controls PTZ plus variable speed;
used with Spectra® and Esprit®) or accept the default of None. Set all fixed cameras to
None. Do this so PTZ control buttons will be dimmed and the operator will not see a PTZ
cursor on the screen for a camera that cannot be moved. If you set a controllable camera
to None, it will be treated as fixed and will not be allowed to PTZ.
4. Checkmark the Disable VLD boxes on cameras for which you want to disable video loss
detection (VLD). This turns off their associated flashing red X indicators on the Video
Mode Live screen.
Also, checkmarking a camera excludes it from the camera tour feature.

RECORDING
There are four types of recordings:
•
•
•
•
Scheduled Recording
This type is simply the days and times you wish to record. The configuration includes half-
hour increments for every day of the week. The DVR can record all cameras continuously
or can record selected cameras at selected times. For example, you can set up different
camera schedules for weekdays and weekends, at nighttime and daytime.
Motion Recording
You set up this type to record when motion is detected in selected camera views. When
motion detection is triggered, a set of cameras can begin to record, go to a defined preset,
or activate a relay. You can set sensitivity and motion area for each camera. You can also
configure motion to be treated as a normal event or an alarm.
Event Recording and Alarm Recording
These types can be triggered by a signal to the alarm panel located on the DVR’s rear
panel. An event is a low-level alarm.You can define which cameras you want to record, go
to a defined preset, or trigger a relay. Alarms take highest priority—all resources are
devoted to executing the commands you set.
Data Exception Recording
You set this type to record when a data exception is encountered. When an exception
occurs, a set of cameras can begin to record, go to a defined preset, or activate a relay.
Data exceptions are treated as a normal event.

SCHEDULED RECORDING
Figure 12. Record Schedule Screen
NOTE: In order to maximize hard drive storage space, the DX2000 uses images from
scheduled recording to display images for a transaction. To do this, you need to set scheduled
recording appropriately (for example, at the right image rate, quality, etc.) and for all hours the
cash register or ATM is operational.
Or, if scheduled recording is not desired, you can enable a blank exception (refer to the Data
Exceptions section) and program it for exception recording. This will record images automati-
cally during any transaction.
If scheduled recording is used for regular transactions, exception recording can be at an
increased speed and/or quality. If exception recording is used, all transactions are recorded at
the same speed and quality.
Use the Record Schedule screen to set the times and days of the week that recording will be in
effect. To do so:
1. Click the Configuration button. Click Record Schedule. The screen (refer to Figure 12)
that appears displays seven days, each broken into half-hour segments.
2. Do the following to program individual time segments or go to step 3 to program a block of
time segments.
a. To select an individual time segment, check mark the segment under the appropriate
day.
b. Double-click the bar to the right of a check-marked time. The program displays the
Set Camera screen (refer to Figure 13).
c. Go to step 4.

time. The block changes color.
b. Click the bar to the right of the check-marked starting time, hold down the Shift key,
and then click the ending time’s bar. The block changes color.
c. Click one of the bars in the marked block. The program displays the Set Camera
screen (refer to Figure 13).
4. On the Set Camera screen (refer to Figure 13), checkmark boxes of the cameras you wish
to turn on for the selected time period.

5. Under Record Rate, use the pull-down menu to select the camera’s recording rate, which
ranges from 1 image every 64 seconds through 16 images per second (IPS).You can
have a total of 16 IPS for all cameras at any instant.
The higher the image rate, the closer to real time and the more hard disk storage is needed
per day. Use the Images/Sec Usage bar to help determine the appropriate image rate.
The objective in setting the image record rate (as well as record quality, see below) is to
store acceptable images that show enough detail to accomplish the user’s goal. These
settings can vary widely depending on the goal.
For example, if the user’s intention is to obtain images in order to catch a criminal during a
robbery, high quality images at a high image rate are needed. If all the user wants to do is
differentiate employee 1 from employee 2 for internal loss prevention purposes, slower
image rates and lower quality images are sufficient and save valuable hard disk space.
6. Under Record Quality, use the pull-down menu to select the recording quality (0 is lowest
setting, 8 is highest). This setting determines the approximate number of kilobytes (KB)
per image.

High quality settings consume disk space quickly. A setting of 2-6 is recommended for
normal use. Refer to Tables A, B, and D to help decide what setting to enter.
Look at each camera in the quality setting you have chosen to ensure it is appropriate for
the intended use. Quality settings that are too low might not give you the necessary video
quality while settings higher than necessary will increase the amount of hard drive space
needed.
The easiest way to check quality settings is to connect in live mode and view the appropriate
camera with the quality setting you have chosen. This will also display the approximate file
size for those images. Compare the file size to the table above and to Tables A, B, and D to
make sure your hard disk calculations are correct.

7. Under Cam. Command, use the pull-down menu to select None, Go Preset (send the
camera to the presets), or Run Pattern (activate a pattern).You set patterns and presets
in live video.
This feature lets you change Spectra or Esprit positions in half-hour increments. The DVR
will process this command continuously during the half hour. While both Spectra and
Esprit incorporate this feature as a home position, the DX2000 lets you select different
positions depending on the time of day.
For example, during the day you want the outside corner mount PTZ camera to look at the
front parking lot, but at night it should cover the loading dock at the side of the building or
run a pattern between both areas.
8. Under Value, use the pull-down menu to select the number of the preset or pattern to run.
9. Toggle the check mark in the Off boxes to turn on or off relay 1 and 2, and enter in the
Duration boxes the number of seconds to keep them on.
10. Click Save to save the values or Cancel to abandon the changes. (The program will ask
you to verify a save at the time you select another item to configure.)

Look at each camera in the quality setting you have chosen to ensure it is appropriate
for the intended use. Quality settings that are too low might not accomplish your goal
while settings higher than necessary will increase the amount of hard drive space
needed.
The easiest way to check quality settings is to connect in live mode and view the
appropriate camera with the quality setting you have chosen. This will also display the
approximate file size for those images. Compare the file size to the table under step
4c. and to Tables A, B, and D to make sure your hard disk calculations are correct.
d. Under Cam. Command, if desired use the pull-down menu to select None, Go
Preset (send the camera to the presets), or Run Pattern (activate a pattern).You set
patterns and presets in live video.
NOTE: Running a pattern or preset will itself cause motion.
e. Under Value, if desired use the pull-down menu to select the number of the preset or
pattern to run.
f. Click the Save button. The program returns you to the Record On Motion Detection
screen.
5. Use the Duration up/down arrows to set the number of seconds to record following an

b. Click the Dwell time check-mark box to activate a dwell factor. When the box is left
blank, a block of pixels is compared to the same block of pixels in every other image
to detect motion. When the box has a check mark, the block of pixels is compared to
the same block of pixels in every fourth image (doubling the time between reference
points). This is useful for detecting slower motion.
c. Set sensitivity using the on-screen slide control. Sensitivity determines how much
difference in the same area (square) of two consecutive images will trigger motion
detection recording. Sensitivity quantifies the amount of average video level change
needed to call it motion. A higher setting (more sensitive) means that a small change
will trigger recording.
Make sure to set sensitivity for both day and night conditions, if possible. Sensitivity
set too high might trigger on the noise created from a camera during low-light
conditions. Watch the screen and have a second person test walk the area using the
type of motion you want captured. The screen will show squares when motion is
detected. Adjust the sensitivity as needed.
d. Use the Threshold box to specify how many total blocks of pixels in two or four
(depending on dwell) consecutive images must change to trigger motion detection
recording. Start with a low number and go up from there (3-10 is recommended).
e. Click the Done button when finished.
The program returns to the Record On Motion Detection screen.
9. Repeat steps 5-8 for any remaining cameras you have enabled.

EVENT AND ALARM RECORDING
Use the Record On Events & Alarms screen to program event and alarm recording.
An event might be something ordinary you want recorded; for example, a storeroom door
opening during business hours. An alarm, however, is more serious; for example, a storeroom
door opened after hours or a panic button pressed.
NOTE: When a set alarm is activated, all resources are dedicated to performing alarm functions.
Event, motion, and scheduled recording are disabled while an alarm is activated. The priority in re-
cording is contact alarm (highest), motion alarm, contact event, motion event, scheduled recording.
Contact event and motion event recording are interleaved with scheduled recording (that is, motion
or event images are alternated with the scheduled images). Contact alarm and motion alarm record-
ing, however, interrupts the scheduled recording and takes over completely.
When an alarm is triggered, there is no indication on the viewing monitor.

Remember the following when programming alarms:
•
When two alarms are activated, the last alarm to turn on is the one that will be recorded.
The system is designed to begin recording the second alarm and stop recording the first
alarm even before the first alarm’s duration time expires. There is a reason for this.
For example, after a break-in occurs at the front door of an office, there is no more need to
record that door. Instead, the system’s resources are concentrated on the next area the
person enters. In effect, the system follows someone through the building via alarms.
However, if the customer wants, he can program more than one camera to record and still
get coverage in multiple areas.
•
Momentary-triggered contacts turn on only when they go from off to on. Latch-triggered
contacts and all other events continuously turn on so long as their triggers are active.
(Momentary and latch are further defined in step 5 that follows.)
For example, if two latch alarms are activated, then the second takes priority. However, if
you have motion or latch alarms active and a momentary alarm is activated, then the
momentary alarm will be ignored.

Do the following to program event and alarm recording:
1. Click the Configuration button. Click Record On Events & Alarms. The Record On
Events & Alarms screen appears.
Figure 16. Record On Events & Alarms Screen
2. In the boxes under the Contact Name, enter names to identify the contacts (alarms).
3. Checkmark the Enable boxes of the contacts you want turned on.
4. Checkmark either the Event or Alarm boxes to designate the type of contact. Removing
the check mark in an event box places a check mark in the corresponding alarm box, and
vice versa.
An event is a lower-level alarm that has the second highest recording priority. It might be
something ordinary you want recorded; for example, a storeroom door opening during
business hours. An alarm, however, is more serious; for example, an outside door opening
during the night.
5. Checkmark either the Mom (Momentary) or Latch boxes to designate how the alarm
contact is handled. Removing the check mark in a momentary box places a check mark in
the corresponding latch box, and vice versa.
(With momentary, an alarm happens only while the contact is at the transition point
between closed and open. For example, if a door opens, the alarm would be activated for
just a moment and alarm recording would last only for as long as the duration setting
dictates. With latch, an alarm always happens when the contact is opened. For example, if
a door opens, the alarm would be on while the door is open. Both the alarm and alarm
recording would continue until the door closes and duration expires.)
6. Under the Duration heading, use the up/down arrows to select the number of seconds
that recording will continue.

7. Click Set Camera to select the camera that will record the contact and to set camera
values for the recording. The program displays the Set Camera screen. Refer to Figure 13.
Having a selection of multiple cameras can be important during alarm recording. For
example, during a bank robbery, cashier 2 triggers the robbery button.You want to record
high-quality images from the camera that only covers cashier 2, but also want images
from the general surveillance camera that covers the entire inside of the bank as well as
exit cameras on the front and back doors. For this example you could program the system
for 4 images per second (IPS) for the cashier 2 camera and 2 IPS each for the other
three.
8. On the Set Camera screen, do the following:
a. Click to checkmark the camera(s) you want to turn on.
b. Under Record Rate, use the pull-down menu to select the camera’s recording rate,
which ranges from 1 image every 64 seconds through 16 images per second (IPS).
You can have a total of 16 IPS for all cameras at any instant.
The higher the image rate, the closer to real time and the more hard disk storage is
needed per day. Use the Images/Sec Usage bar to help determine the appropriate
image rate.
The objective in setting the image record rate (as well as record quality; see step 8.c)
is to store acceptable images that show enough detail to accomplish the user’s goal.
These settings can vary widely depending on the goal.
For example, if the user’s intention is to obtain images in order to catch a criminal
during a robbery, high quality images at a high image rate are needed. If all the user
wants to do is differentiate employee 1 from employee 2 for internal loss prevention
purposes, slower image rates and lower quality images are sufficient and save
valuable hard disk space.
c. Under Record Quality, use the pull-down menu to select the recording quality (0 is
lowest setting, 8 is highest). This setting determines the number of kilobytes (KB) per
image.

recommended for normal use. Refer to Tables A, B, and D to help decide what setting
to enter.

Look at each camera in the quality setting you have chosen to ensure it is appropriate
for the intended use. Quality settings that are too low might not accomplish your goal
while settings higher than necessary will increase the amount of hard drive space
needed.
The easiest way to check quality settings is to connect in live mode and view the
appropriate camera with the quality setting you have chosen. This will also display the
approximate file size for those images. Compare the file size to the table above and
to Tables A, B, and D to make sure your hard disk calculations are correct.
d. Under Cam. Command, if desired use the pull-down menu to select None, Go
Preset (send the camera to the presets), or Run Pattern (activate a pattern).You set
patterns and presets in live video.

DATA EXCEPTION RECORDING
Figure 17. Record On Data Exceptions Screen
Use this screen to set the video values for recording triggered by data exceptions.
NOTE: The data exceptions also must be defined. Refer to the Data Exceptions section for
instructions.
Note also that in order to maximize hard drive storage space, the DX2000 uses images from
scheduled recording to display images for a transaction. To do this, you need to set scheduled
recording appropriately (for example, at the right image rate, quality, etc.) and for all hours the
cash register or ATM is operational.
Or, if scheduled recording is not desired, you can enable a blank exception (refer to the Data
Exceptions section) and program it for exception recording. This will record images automati-
cally during any transaction.
If scheduled recording is used for regular transactions, exception recording can be at an
increased speed and/or quality. If exception recording is used, all transactions are recorded at
the same speed and quality.
Do the following to set the video values for data exception recording:
1. Click the Configuration button. Click Record On Data Exceptions. The Record On Data
Exceptions screen appears.
2. Under the Enable heading, checkmark the boxes for the devices from which you want to
record data exceptions.

NOTE: In order to disable exception recording, you must disable the setups on both the
Record On Data Exceptions screen and the Set Camera screen (refer to the Scheduled
Recording section for information on the Set Camera screen). If you fail to disable setups in
both places, exception recording will continue to pick specified data exceptions.
4. On the Set Camera screen, do the following:
a. Click to checkmark the camera(s) you want to turn on.
b. Under Record Rate, use the pull-down menu to select the recording rate for the

d. Under Cam. Command, if desired use the pull-down menu to select None, Go
Preset (send the camera to the presets), or Run Pattern (activate a pattern).You set
patterns and presets in live video.
This feature lets you run a pattern or go to a preset based on a data event.You can
reset Spectra or Esprit positions in half-hour increments. The DVR will process this
command at the beginning of each half hour. While both Spectra and Esprit incorpo-
rate this feature as a home position, the DX2000 lets you select different positions
depending on the time of day.
For example, during the day you want the outside corner mount PTZ camera to look
at the front parking lot, but at night it should cover the loading dock at the side of the
building or run a pattern between both areas.

DISK ALLOCATION/DISK PARTITIONS
The hard disk(s) is partitioned into four sections. It is extremely important to properly configure
the drive(s) on setup. Use this screen to specify how much space will be devoted to the
different recording modes.
Refer to Tables A, B, C, and D to help decide how to allocate disk space.
NOTE: If you plan on doing any of these—schedule recording, motion detection recording, event
and alarm recording, and data exception recording—you must program them before doing disk allo-
cation. If you have not programmed any of these, you will get a “None Set” error message when you
try to allocate disk space.
APPROXIMATE HARD DISK SPACE TABLES
The numbers of days listed in the tables below are for total hard disk space. This combines all
disk partitions: scheduled, motion, event, and alarm.
(The following tables are approximations. For a more precise estimate, refer to the Disk Space
Estimate Calculation section.)

The figures above are for all eight cameras running at 1 IPS (images per second) continuously
for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Reducing the recording schedule times will reduce the
GB/day and increase the number of days.
NOTE: Values indicating video storage capacity are estimates only. These estimates are to be
used as guidelines in determining proper hard drive requirements. Many user selectable factors
such as image quality, recording rate, image content/motion, and video noise will all affect the total
amount of video that can be stored on a hard drive. These video storage duration estimates will vary
based on actual use. These estimates are not an implied or expressed guarantee of actual perfor-
mance.

PICTURE QUALITY
CAMERA CONTROLS
These three pull-down menus appear in the left lower corner of the live video screen. They
change the camera video for the current and any subsequent user. The left-most is for gain
and controls contrast, the middle one controls brightness, and the one on the right is chroma
and controls color.You can make these settings for each individual camera.
To change the settings, click the camera to be adjusted and then use the pull-down menus.
(Before adjusting, verify all terminations.)
Once adjusted by the installer, the settings should not be changed. Only the administrator is
able to change these settings. However, even the administrator should not tamper with these
settings unless absolutely necessary.
MONITOR CONTROLS
There are three slide controls you can access to control brightness, contrast, and gamma
correction. They change the picture only on the monitor you are viewing and they do not affect
recording. There is also a reset button to restore the picture to its original settings if you do not
like the changes you have made.
The controls are normally hidden. They appear below the live or recorded picture when you
click the half black/half white circle icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Click the icon

INFORMATION BOXES
Arrayed across the bottom of the screen are a series of small information boxes.
•
Starting from the left, the first box shows the state of the viewing PC (buffer mode/file
mode). Refer to the Mode Icon Colors section for details.
•
•
The second identifies the unit’s IP address (useful when you have multiple DVRs).
The third is an image counter (useful in big files with a large number of images).
Note that on playback of recordings, the DVR makes use of a buffer in the viewing PC’s
memory. This buffer can hold up to 100 images and begins to fill when you play recordings
from the DVR or PC hard drive.
When you play a recording forward, the program keeps retrieving images from the DVR or
PC—the buffer is not a factor. However, in playing backward, you can only go back as far
as what is in the buffer (100 images maximum). For example, if you played forward 60
images, then you can only play backward 60 images. If you played forward 180 images,
you can only play backward 100 images. Initially, you can only view forward until the
information is in the buffer; then you can view frame-by-frame and in reverse.
The buffer empties any time you make a switch, such as switching cameras or switching
from viewing a recording to viewing live.
•
•
•
•
The fourth identifies the camera associated with the picture you are viewing.
The fifth shows image size.
The sixth displays the date and time associated with the picture you are viewing.
The last shows the state of the unit you are viewing. When viewing recordings from the
PC’s hard drive, it can show whether you are seeing a file made from live viewing or made
from a recording that was on the DVR. This mode can change when viewing recordings
(for example, motion to alarm to scheduled).

VIEWING RECORDED VIDEO
PLAYBACK CONTROL BUTTONS
It is important to understand how the DVR plays back recordings. On playback, the DVR
makes use of a buffer in the viewing PC’s memory. The buffer can hold up to 100 images and
begins to fill when you play recordings from the DVR or PC hard drive. It empties with any
switch (for example, switching cameras or switching from viewing a recording to viewing live).
Initially, you can only view forward until the information is in the buffer; then you can view
frame-by-frame and in reverse.
The playback control buttons function as follows:
This button moves the display to the first (oldest) image in the buffer portion of the PC’s
memory.
This button plays the images in the buffer in reverse (up to 100).
This button reverses the display in the buffer one image at a time (up to 100 images).
This button pauses the display.
This button stops the display.
This button advances the display one image at a time.
This button plays the video forward.
This button displays the last (newest) image in the buffer.
This button controls the speed at which the recording plays. When you click this button,
speed changes and the program displays a slide control used to increase/decrease the

Search Start (Date)
(This is the date box above the Begin Search button.) All
searches start at the first data record in the file. However, if
the search takes too long, you can enter the date you want
the search for the transaction to begin. The search will begin
at 00:00:00 of this date. (This is not the date in the

You can click the arrows to move forward or backward one
day at a time. Or highlight the day, month, or year and type in
what you want, and press Enter. Then click Begin Search.

Device Name
The program searches for the transactions on the specified
data device only. If you select “All Devices,” the search
includes all data devices.
Transaction Number
The program searches for a particular transaction number.
Excludes any transaction that does not have this transaction
number. All digits must be entered to find a particular
transaction number, including preceding zeros.
Transaction Date
The program searches within the transaction receipts for this
date (starting with the first data record in the file or at
00:00:00 of the date in the Search Start bar if you entered a
date there). The date you enter in this field is compared to
the transaction date rather than the DVR date. If you leave
any of the three entry boxes blank or enter a value outside
the range (for example, 15 for the month), the program
ignores everything as if you entered nothing in this field.
Transaction Time
The program searches for transactions that occurred at the
specified time only. This is compared to the transaction time
rather than the DVR time. If you leave any of the three entry
boxes blank or enter a value outside the range (for example,
25 for the hour), the program ignores everything as if you
entered nothing in this field. Note that the program only finds
transactions after the seconds you enter.
Transaction Item
Line Item
The search includes only transactions that contain the
specified text.
The search includes only transactions that contain the
specified text on the same line as the text defined in the
second Line Item and Value fields.
A line item search finds all transactions containing a
particular word. For example, a search for “Water” also finds
“Water Melon” (two words) but does not find “Watermelon”
(one word).
(NOTE: ATM transactions do not usually contain line items.
The program may display a “No data found” error message if
searching ATM transactions using line item.)
Line Item
The search includes only transactions that contain the
specified text on the same line as the text defined in the first
Line Item and Value fields.

Value
This entry is used with the Value field to determine the
monetary criterion.
The search includes only transactions that contain the
specified value criterion on the same line as text defined in
the first and second Line Item fields. Value only affects the
search if entry in the Monetary Modifier field is other than
“None.”
Transactions with
Exceptions Only
The search includes only transactions that contain data
exceptions.
4. Click the Begin Search button. The Search Results box will either fill with transactions
that meet the specified criteria or display a “…No Search Results Found…” message if no
transactions are found that meet the criteria. The list can contain up to 95 entries.

PLAYBACK FOLLOWING TIME CHANGES
The DVR uses the time and date to index video on the hard disk so you can find it later.
Changing the time can cause the DVR to work improperly when you try to play back video. If
you set the hour ahead, this is not a problem. But if you set the hour back, there will be more
than one recording at the same time.
Figure 29 shows what happens when you set the hour back from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m., such as
during the fall changeover from Daylight Saving Time. If you try to search for video between
1 a.m. and 2 a.m., the recorder may not operate properly because there will be two hours of
recorded video during this time period. To view video during this overlapping time, you must
start playback before 1 a.m.; then the recorder will play both hours between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m.

PC RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
The DX2000 software has two parts—one part communicates with the DVR server and the
other part communicates with your PC. The Stop button
below the viewing area breaks
live video communication with the DVR server while the Play button
restores communica-
tion. Understanding this concept will help make it easier to understand PC recording.
The PC must be connected (directly or through the network) to the DVR to do PC recording
and playback.
The information boxes at the bottom of the screen can help you locate the images you want to
view. Refer to the Information Boxes section.

PLAYBACK VIEWER
DESCRIPTION
The DX2000 Playback Viewer is an executable software program that lets you view both
snapshots (single images) and video recorded from the DX2000 Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
without being connected to the DVR.
For example, the DX2000 DVR operator could save the recorded video of a break-in to his
PC’s hard disk. That file, plus the Playback Viewer software file, plus the viewer manual in PDF
file format could all be sent to the police department, where officers could view the break-in
video without needing to be connected to a DX2000.
(Refer to the Recording a Snapshot on the PC’s Hard Drive, Recording Live Video on the PC’s
Hard Drive, and Saving Recorded Video on the PC’s Hard Drive sections for information on
saving a snapshot or video to the PC’s hard disk.)
CAUTION: Do not run the Playback Viewer program during a live connection to the DVR.
You should use the viewer only while off-line.
