Description  
The DX4000 Series digital video recorder (DVR) is an entry-level, professional digital video recorder that not only replaces the traditional VCR and  
multiplexer combination but also offers the benefits derived from the latest in digital video processing.  
Designed to work with today's broadband networks, the DX4000 uses MPEG-4 compression, allowing the user the ability to view and control the  
DVR across a wide area network. Additionally, the smaller file size produced by the MPEG-4 compression standard, allows for longer storage  
times compared with traditional DVR technology.  
With the ability to record at resolutions up to 704 x 480, the DX4000 Series DVR captures crystal clear pictures, creating effective footage for  
later use and retrieval. With the ability to record up to 120 images per second in CIF resolution (352 x 240 NTSC, 352 x 288 PAL), users can also  
record full-motion video if desired. Individual adjustments are possible on a per-input basis to optimize the DX4000 to meet a given installations  
requirements for length of video retention. Video critical for investigation and archiving can be easily exported to a USB flash memory device or  
an optional CD-RW.  
With the ability to address and control pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) equipment, such as the Spectra® domes and Esprit® positioning systems, the DX4000  
becomes a powerful control point for the surveillance requirements of an installation. In addition, with the ability to trigger recording and alarms  
on motion or external contacts, the DX4000 series becomes an automated monitoring and notification engine as well.  
The DX4000 video outputs provide for efficient control and effective deterrence. The choice of VGA, S-Video, or composite main monitor outputs  
provides flexibility for the user. The main monitor output can be adjusted to display in full screen or quad format. The DX4000's spot monitor can  
be used for public view applications, providing an effective deterrent to would-be criminals.  
Finally, the DX4000 is designed to deliver robust and reliable performance for security professionals. From the ability to capture log entries  
detailing any faults or user-initiated changes to the system, to the inclusion of Pelco's world renowned customer service promise, the DX4000  
embodies the ideal entry-level digital video recorder to protect assets and people.

VERIFYING NETWORK CONNECTIONS  
Since upgrading the firmware on the DX4000 from a computer connected by a crossover cable does not rely on DHCP to assign the IP address on  
the DX4000, make sure that your computer is in the same subnet range as the DX4000. To verify this you can review the network connections  
settings for the remote computer. The following instructions are based on Windows XP®. These instructions may vary if you are running a  
different operating system.  
1. Open the Start menu on the remote computer, and then select Control Panel.  
2. Select Network and Internet Connections, and then select Network Connections. The Network Connections screen appears.
