Description
The DX4500/DX4600 Series digital video recorder (DVR) is the latest generation in entry-level DVRs. Equipped with an embedded operating
system, the DVR offers camera capacity, features, and functionality exceeding other DVRs. The DX4500/DX4600 is designed for the entry-level
market that requires 8 or 16 camera inputs; greater internal hard drive storage capacity; fast frame rate recording; and powerful playback, search,
and export capability. The DX4500/DX4600 not only replaces the traditional VCR and multiplexer combination, but it also offers the benefits
derived from the latest in digital video processing.
Designed to work with today’s broadband networks, the DX4500/DX4600 uses MPEG-4 compression, allowing you to view and control the DVR
across local or wide area networks. Recording at resolutions of up to 704 x 480 (4CIF), the DX4500/DX4600 captures crystal clear pictures,
creating effective footage for later use and retrieval. Exported video is easily reviewed at the DX4500/DX4600 server or remote client computer
using the export viewer. Each DVR input channel can be configured individually to meet a specific security application requirement for video
retention. Video critical to investigation and archiving is easily exported to a USB memory device or DVD±RW device (optional for DX4500 Series
models).
Operation of the unit is made easy through the front panel, remote control keypad, or USB mouse. The remote DX4500/DX4600 Client application
can interface with up to sixteen DX4500/DX4600 servers simultaneously. User-configurable disk partitioning is used to allocate specific hard disk
space for storing continuous video data, and event-initiated video data. The retention time can be different for retaining continuous recorded
video, and event-initiated recorded video.
For surveillance applications requiring pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) capability, the DX4500/DX4600 addresses and controls PTZ equipment such as
Spectra
®
domes and Esprit
®
positioning systems, or third-party cameras. An optional Pelco KBD300A keyboard can be connected to the DX4500/
DX4600 to operate PTZ devices. The DX4500/DX4600 supports Pelco C (Coaxitron
®
), Pelco D, and Pelco P protocols. Pelco C allows you to operate
Pelco PTZ cameras up to a distances of 457 m (1,500 feet).
With the ability to trigger recording and response to events (such as alarm inputs, motion detection, and video loss), the DX4500/DX4600 Series
becomes an automated monitoring system as well. The DX4600 Series DVR supports multi-event recording. Multi-event recording includes any
single or combination of events associated with an alarm, motion, or instant recording event. The DX4600 allows you to schedule each camera to
record in a single or multiple-event mode across a 24-hour timeline. You can also configure each camera to record at a specific resolution,
quality, and image rate when an event is triggered.
The DX4500/DX4600 video outputs provide for efficient control and effective deterrence. The choice of VGA or composite main monitor output
provides flexibility for the user. The main monitor output can be adjusted to display one, four, nine, or sixteen cameras, or it can be adjusted for a
custom display. The DX4500/DX4600’s spot monitor output can be used for public viewing or alarm call-up.
The DX4500/DX4600 is designed to deliver robust and reliable performance for security professionals. From the incorporation of watermarking
technology to prevent alterations to captured video, to the ability to capture log entries, to the inclusion of Pelco’s world renowned customer
service promise, the DX4500/DX4600 embodies the ideal entry-level DVR to protect people and assets.
